Jade and Wesley were busy sorting out the wedding invitations. They were multitasking as they both had slices of pizza on their mouths as they ate as well. They were both seated on the floor close to the table in the living room. They were the only ones who were left downstairs as the others had already made their way to their beds. They had been at this chore for hours before Wesley couldn't take it anymore, he leaned and rested his back against a couch that was behind him. "Tired?" Jade asked as she chuckled. "Burnt out" he said, "this is so much work". Jade chuckles, "and to think it's such a simple wedding". Wesley nodded his head as he laughed a bit. He rested whilst jade continued with what they were doing. The silence was all that flowed between them but it had been so for a while. Weskey decided to break the silence; "when will you take over the company?" Jade smiled wondering if this was what she had to deal with due to her choice of getting married to an heir, a ma
It was morning, the sun had risen only less than two hours ago. Weskey, who had slept in the car, drove the vehicle to the DeVille's mansion. He contemplated alighting the vehicle knowing damn well that the people in the house did not like him, but he had to try his luck. He came down from the car and walked into the mansion. He met his uncle, Kraig and Carolene all having breakfast together and as they all saw him, their faces turned ugly, just like the gray walls of the dining room. Weskey hated the color gray and the absurd flowers that were placed against the gray walls. He wondered if the interior designer had thought it was good to put such absurdity there. "What are you doing here, Wesley?" Mr DeVille rose to his feet in rage. Kraig instantly followed but his stance did not take the position of anger, instead he placed his hand around his grandfather's body to make sure the man doesnt over exert himself. But Mr DeVille was too angry to even start thinking about his heal
Jade frowned, "is this you trying to beg me to leave Wesley for you? No matter what you do, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him". "Wesley is not who you think he is" Kraig said, "jade, listen to me, you will regret getting married to him". Jade shook her head, she believed Kraig's words were coming from a place of jealousy and envy, from a heart that yearns for her. She believed these were the actions of a man who was hopelessly in love with her. And to tell the truth, she was disgusted by it. She hated the idea of catching the eyes of a poor driver. She hated that he saw her and had the disgusting idea that they could be together and have lots of fun which will obviously include sex. She looked at the man before him, though he was definitely not ugly, it still evoked some kind of disgust in her knowing that he was broke. Everything about Kraig was disgusting. "You're just so fucking jealous. I'm gonna get married to Wesley and our companies will merge and everything
Wynn stares at him with her big eyes, wide as the galaxy of infinite stars. Her heart was beating violently against her chest for so many reasons. Her resolve flushing away with the arrival of confusion as she stared into the eyes of the man before her, the man she recognized as her best friend. She was extremely dumbstruck as she kept staring at Kraig. The man who just confessed to harbor feelings that weren't so platonic for her. Her breath was caught in her chest, her hands still on his own chest and with such contact, she could feel how erratically his heart was beating. Exposing the fact that he had summoned courage from the heavens and beyond to make a confession like that. "Kraig," she called his name softly, almost like a prayer, because there was nothing more she could do but pray that this was somewhat of a figment of her imagination because, how the hell did he expect her to react? "I don't know what to say, '' she muttered but with their proximity, he could hear her cl
Derek's face metamorphosed from a pleased look to one of anger and confusion while he stared at Wynn. "What sort of a question is that?" He inquired, "it was obviously you who told him everything, so why are you asking me?" Wynn shook her head, she knew well that she had not said a word of his cheating to Kraig. She was sure that those words never left her mouth. Not because she loved Derek so much that she would protect him. But for Kraig never to find out that after helping her against the older man, she was marrying Derek despite his cheating. "I never told him anything…" "Liar!" Derek accused, "you were the one who told him so that he would come here and embarrass me". Wynn instinctively looked around. All eyes were on them. The attention wasn't what she liked, especially when they were talking about their relationship. When she was dealing with the toxic side of Derek, a side that other people should not be seeing. "Are you happy?" He asked after noticing the same things th
Jade opens the door of their hotel room. The room was exactly how it was photographed on the website. She was actually expecting to find some shortcomings but she found none. A big presidential room, it was magnificent but nothing too grandiose. It had brown coloured drapes, a large window where the sunlight poured beautifully picturesque into the room meeting the long sofa that was placed right beside the window. The TV in front was large and behind I like a small space had art displays. The coffee table had several magazines scattered on them and also a bottle of wine and two glasses. It smelled like lavender. Jade was no doubt quite content with what she received and from the look on his face whilst staring at the large window, it seems like her husband himself was happy. Her heart skipped a beat inside of her, it was mostly from joy, she was excited that she made the perfect decision to get married to him. Wesley turned around and met the eyes of his wife. The corner of his
After hearing of such a confession, Kraig didn't know how to feel. He looked at the helpless man who was already on his feet, heaving, with blood flowing unsightly from his nose and his lips. He was so angry, so frustrated that he really wanted to continue to beat the hell out him. But he knew that there be any chance that he would continue, the man before him was surely going to give up the ghost and so he tried to keep his rage at bay, only sending a last punch and then exiting the house. Kraig had no idea what to make of the situation he had found out about. Here he had thought that Wynn had no idea of Derek's ways but she was aware of them. It meant this wasn't surely the first time that he had done such a thing to her. He was extremely pissed at her, but at a glance, he pitied her. She had experienced betrayal, shame, disgrace from this man, why then did she not just end it with him? What was she after? Was it that the love she had for him was towering that she could turn
Wynn shivered, her heart was sinking because the emotion she was feeling had been provoked by her best friend. She couldn't reciprocate his feelings and turning him down just seemed like the right thing to do. Despite knowing this, her conscience was tugged. She didn't know how to utter the words of rejection to her friend. He was throwing her into a spot that none of them would profit from and probably he was oblivious to that fact or maybe he was just hopeful. Wynn had no clue. However, her heart was resilient, despite just feeling a crashing guilt, she still closed her eyes and utter the words clear enough that he would hear them. "I don't feel the same way for you, Kraig" she said, "I'm not in love with you. I only see you as my friend, there's nothing more than that". She watched how Kraig's face fell, how he suddenly changed from hopeful to broken in a matter of seconds. The light in his eyes dulled and his whole person seemed to shrink. This was what he knew. He had al
