CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE Maria was having a celebration in her house, as she was marking one week of a successful marriage between her daughter and her son in law. She had invited many people, Maria had always been an outdoor person, the hall was full to the brim, both male and female, young and old, friends and foes too. She had personally invited all of them, she knew those who were happy about the marriage and those who weren't. She just wanted to rub it all in their faces. The solo music was the only sound heard, as the rich never had the time to shake and dance at parties. Their parties were always calm and well planned, quiet even. She walked to and fro one place to another, as she made sure that everything was in place. She didn't want those whom she had invited, especially her enemies to laugh at her due to some unwanted and unnecessary happenings. She picked up a glass as it was obvious she wanted to make a toast. She climbed up the podium and their gazes fell on
Chapter 76Jake and Kate’s one day love life dateKate brought out from her wardrobe a cute sparkly blue dinner dress that she had bought for a professional outing, but from the looks of it today was the day which this gown had found a remarkable purpose. It was a knee-length gown with slight ruffles in the front, small straps running across her shoulders , a low neck V-line, and an open back with a small slit by the side. She put on a pair of silver heels to match.She combed her out and did a side swoop for a cute but chic effect to finish up the look and adorned herself with some jewelry comprising of a glittery pair of silver ear-rings, bracelets, a Louis Vuitton necklace and her wedding ring. Staring at it still made her feel surreal. And her black bag was the last item needed. She contemplated between a purse and a bag and she settled for the bag to give class.Kate was all smiles in her room as she admired herself in the mirror. She sprayed some perfume and she was out the door
CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN Rina had gone to work against all odds. He shouldn't have let Owen bathe with her in the toilet. She knew he would surely try something funny with her and he had done it, not just once, many times and she was beyond tired. Owen’s libido was just too much to handle for her and she could swear that he was corrupting her i o becoming like him. She was in her office, a cup of coffee in her hand and she droopd it as she used her hand to massage her shoulder blade, she could still feel the impact of their bedroom activities both yesterday and earlier combined together. She stretched her body on the seat and was about to stand up from her seat when her Assistant came in. “Learn to knock Haley” she chided and th girl chuckled. “I never learn” “Yeah, you never do, cause if you do, you would have learned by now, because I have been saying this for the past two years but you still haven't listened to me for a day” Haley smiled “That aside, someone is here to
Chapter 78 “Imagine the police coming into our wedding, just to come take you out for questioning and investigation, that would be… gross” as she said this, the expression on Jake's face made her burst into laughter. He was too damn serious. She knew the police wouldn't do something like that, for courtesy reasons, and Jake's mother would not allow them to. She was that powerful. “Well, after listening to your POV, I've come to a very simple conclusion, which is…” Jake paused for a while and Kate could hear her heartbeat in her ears. She couldn't admit her fears. “I won't cancel the wedding.it was my decision to go with it in the first place, and the Riverdales never go back on their words” Kate was beyond joyed when she heard his words. She had almost fainted when she thought he would cancel the wedding. It had been on her mind the whole day, and when he got shot, she had lost hope, her joy knew no boundaries as she ran into his arms and Jake felt the air knocked out of his l
CHAPTER 79 “What were you doing here, with him?” Owen asked Rina who was also surprised to see him there, although she didn't let it show, as she didn't want to rouse any more doubts within him. She knew fear or anxiety was the first thing someone who has already been suspicious of you, would look for whenever they see you in a compromising situation. She maintained her composure as she turned back to him with a small smile at the corner of her lips. “Owen, what are you doing here? I thought you went to work” she said as she drew near to him, acting like a concerned wife and although Owen was suspicious at first, he didn't see through her facade. He found it weird to understand her relationship with Jake in the past week, he felt as if something was going on between them. But he knew that the reasoning was totally illogical, because they wouldn't do such, when they can just settle with themselves if they please. Jake could divorce Kate if he wanted, and he was not yet married
CHAPTER EIGHTY “Where's everyone?” Owen asked when he got home. He had not come home the day before, due to extra paperwork at the office. When he was through with the signings and all, he couldn't go home as it was late already, so he slept at the office and now, he was back, but he couldn't find Mia and some others. The whole place felt empty and it was weird. This was supposed to be the time when they would be making preparations, cleaning and making arrangements. He opened the kitchen in search of Mia, but she wasn't there, and neither were the other maids. He turned and was about to head to his room when he saw one of the maids coming in through the backdoor. “Good morning sir” she greeted “Good morning” Owen replied, placing his hand on his waist, he asked “Where are the others?” “Oh, Mia had taken them out for grocery shopping” she replied and Owen cocked a brow at her. “Grocery shopping?” He asked and the maid nodded her head. “Yeah” “Mia always went gr
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE Maria had just gotten to the office, she got down from her car and walked into the glass doors. The workers greeted her throughout her journey to her personal office. She didn't even bother to reply to some of them, she just walked past them without even glancing back. The workers were already used to it, and some of them didn't even budge, but others were pretty concerned. She got to her personal office and there standing at the door, she could already see her assistant, holding some files in his hand and shivering at the side. She surmised that whatever he had to tell her was not good news, as that was how he behaved whenever he had bad news for her. Maria hissed and walked past him, leaving the door open behind her and he took that clue to walk in with her. She placed her hand bag on the swivel chair and walked to the windows, opening them wide enough. Her assistant stood on one side, monitoring her movements, but said nothing on it. When she was throug
CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO “I can't believe I totally forgot about it, oh it skipped my mind” Rina shouted over the phone. Owen had just called to inform her about his upcoming birthday and her joy knew no bounds, she had totally forgotten about it and she blamed it on the chain of recent activities that she had been working on. “Yeah me too, I totally forgot about it. Mia was the one who made me remember and she wants me to have a formal celebration. Heck, it's just in three days' time, and I haven't even printed cards nor written the list of guests, this is so gonna be a disaster” Owen said as he smacked himself on his forehead. He had wanted to make it a low key party, but Mia was highly against it. She said she wanted to make this one special for him, by being the event planner and the chef of the day. “There shouldn't be any reason to worry, since I am already aware, we'll plan it well and make sure it doesn't end up as a disaster. It's just a birthday party, there shouldn't be m
