Jesse reached out and nudged her sister before uttering defensively. “Stop being so forward. Arthur and I just got back together. There's no way we'll get married immediately.”“Then you have to find a way to get married faster. I want to be an Aunt.”Jesse shot her a dirty look and reached out to slap her hand. “You're insane.”“I know that. However, it isn't a crime for you to get married quickly.”Jesse, who did not want to argue anymore with her sister, decided to leave her alone. She went ahead to her room to freshen up.Meanwhile, Arthur got home in a very elated mood. When he got into the living room, Mrs. Olivia, the cook approached him.“Welcome Sir. Your dinner is ready.”“Thank you.” Arthur replied with a smile and went ahead to sit on the Sofa in the living room.Mrs. Oliver bowed and began to leave but Arthur called her back.“Sir, what can I do for you?”Arthur sighed and put on the television. He was in his best mood and was all smiling.“I'm not hungry right now, maybe
Arthur was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the words that Jesse just spoke. Bryan was now a wanted criminal and belonged to a notorious robbery gang. He was also his step brother.“I watched the news too.” He replied in a low voice and decided to change the topic.“Can we not talk about Bryan. I don't want to be put off by talking about him.”“Oh, ok. I won't bring him up again if you don't want to hear about him.”“Alright.”The couple conversed a lot before finally giving in to sleep.Arthur woke up the next morning in a very cheerful mood. He was so excited and quickly took his phone to send a message to Jesse. The latter called back in return.“Good morning.” Arthur greeted as soon as he picked the call. “I'm guessing you dreamt about me.”“You wish.” Jesse replied. “I only slept peacefully and didn't dream about anyone.”Arthur began to laugh. He had dreamt about Jesse and also believed she dreamt about him as well.“Are you sure?”“Hundred percent sure. I can never dr
After Arthur took the food from her hand, she grinned at him and said in appreciation. “Thank you for collecting the food. I thought you won't take it from me.”With a wide smile, Arthur also appreciated her. “Thank you for the breakfast and your thoughtfulness. I really appreciate it.”With one last smile at her, he turned around and made his way towards a guard who was standing outside.The guard stared back at Arthur in confusion and wondered what the latter was coming to him.“Hi, Sir. I'd like to give you this. I hope you don't mind?”“Ok. What is it?” The man replied with furrowed brows as he stared back at Arthur.Arthur turned around and pointed at Janet who was still standing at a spot, staring back at Arthur. She was wondering what the guy was about to do with the food he gave to her.“Um, Sir. My girlfriend brought me something for breakfast. Unfortunately, she didn't call me before bringing the food as I've had breakfast already. Right now, I'm very full and don't have any
Janet sat in her car for a while and kept glancing at the cafe. There were a lot of customers at the place who were having their breakfast. Stella had started breakfast at the place after the last time Janet gave her some money to upgrade her coffee shop. There were also a few workers working for her. While still in her car, Janet reminisced on the past when her Mom always sang her praises because she was bringing in money.Bryan was still there to give her anything she asked for. Unfortunately, things have changed. Bryan was now a wanted criminal while she was left with nothing except for the car he bought for her. It also looks hard to get another rich guy as a boyfriend. It was the reason she was now running after Arthur.After watching them for a while, Janet opened the door and made her way to the coffee shop. “Hi, Mom.” She greeted her mother who was at the cash register. She was making sure that the money her workers collected tallied with the customers' orders.“Where are yo
Arthur glanced at her one last time before snorting coldly. “You're a loser and will always be one.”Without another word, he left her standing at the place, just like in the morning.Once Arthur was inside Jesse's car, the latter started the car and drove off without saying anything. Arthur was expecting to hear a word from her but she said nothing until they got to the restaurant.As soon as they got to the place, Jesse came down and began to walk away but Arthur quickly ran to catch her.“Come on Jess, I don't understand your silence. What seems to be the problem?”Arthur was confused and kept wondering about the sudden change in her mood.“Why are you suddenly acting this way? Did I do something to offend you?”Arthur was clueless and kept wondering what must have gone wrong.“Nothing.” Jesse replied with a voice that lacked emotions.Arthur shook his head several times. “There's something wrong. Talk to me please.”Without another word, Jesse turned around and began to walk in th
“You are so pathetic.” Jesse whispered in her ears when she got to the place where Janet was waiting.“How can you keep going after someone who no longer cares about you? Have you no dignity and self-respect?”“No.” Janet blurted out coldly. “I have none of those things you just mentioned. I don't care about having them either. All I care about is to win Arthur back and that's what I'll do.”“Hmph.” Jesse shook her head and scrutinized Janet in a disgusting look before she continued. “Dream on. I assure you that even in your dreams, you will never win. Arthur is not a pushover. He might have been that to you in the past but not anymore.”Without that, Jesse turned to Arthur and gestured for him to follow her. The duo left Janet and began to walk into the mall.“What did you say to her? I can see that she's fuming already. I hope she doesn't put up a fight with you.”“I'd like to see her try.” Jesse replied as they continued to match into the mall.“About what I said to her. I told
Their leader took a quick glance at Janet's table and found her busy with her food. She knew she was now the object of their discussion so she pretended not to notice them.The leader turned to Bryan with a stern face. “Spider, do you know her?”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes.”“Who's she to you?” He asked coldly.“She's my girlfriend.”The leader kept quiet and only stared at Bryan for a while before turning around the place. Some people recognized them and were now glancing in their direction.He saw a few making some calls and deduced that they were calling the police. When the man turned his face back, he saw the waiter coming with their orders.“Let's get out of here now.” He whispered and they all rose to their feet and made their way out to the waiter's bewilderment. He paused in his tracks and gaped at the retreating figure of the men. The waiter was completely clueless of what was happening because he was yet to see their faces.“It's them. The united brothers' gang.” A woman m
“Good, now tell us. Where do you have your mind on?”Arthur lifted his face and glanced at all their faces while still smiling. The men also exchanged glances at themselves and kept wondering what was in the mind of Bryan.“Why are you wasting our time?” The leader snapped at him and he nodded.“Ok. I'll go ahead and say it now. It's Raremix mills. The company that belonged to the man who got married to my late mother and adopted me. They have a habit of leaving a lot of cash at the place before taking it to the bank.”“Oh, you think we'll get plenty of money from your father's company.”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes. I'm very sure.”“Hmph.” The leader snorted. “I hope you also know everything about the place and how we can go in and come out.”Bryan sneered and remained silent before uttering. “I know the place like the back of my palms.”Later that evening, Jesse drove back home together with her sister. They were through with the day's work and happily drove home.The girls had boug
