“Why did you bring me outside? I hope Asher is not going to harm her.” Chelsea said, arching her eyebrows in annoyance.

“I know Asher cares about her. I’m sure he won’t hurt her. They just need to sort out their misunderstanding,” Richard reassured her, his voice calm.

“What’s your name, cutie pie?” Richard asked, he smirked as he leaned against the wall.

Chelsea rolled her eyes, taken back by his sudden boldness. Her cheeks burned slightly.

“I’m Chelsea, what about you?,” she asked, avoiding his gaze.

Richard was amused by her flustered expression. “Richard is it. Do you know Chelsea suits you well. Just lovely and sweet.”

Before she replied back at the cheesy comment, the store door creaked open.

Asher and Ivana stepped of the store, Ivana's cheeks were red. While Asher exuded a strong, domineering aura.

They behaved as though they hadn’t just been in a heated argument some minutes ago.

Chelsea was relieved to see Ivana was not hurt.

Her heartbeat increased, she was curious and jealous of the intimate conversation between Asher and Ivana.When she heard their discussion about having children and how Gloria's wishes for great-grandchildren, her blood was hot. She left there silently, finding her mother Flora in the family garden."Mom, I just saw Asher and Ivana talking about having children together," Kimberly said, her voice trembling. “I wonder if I will ever have a chance to climb high and attain the position of matriarch now?" She said, pacing around and biting her nails.Flora saw how Kimberly was distressed over the issue, so she reassured her. "Don't let us lose hope, my dear daughter," she said, patting her shoulder. "We will have more time in the future to deal with that lowlife. You are still one of the best candidates for that position."The truth was, Kimberly had n

    Gloria knew there were going to be issues ahead. Some of the relatives would not accept Ivana as the future matriarch of the Jackson family. The tension in the room rose, but she had made her choice, and she would stand by it."She is my wife and your future matriarch now," Asher stood his ground, his voice echoing around the ballroom.He stood tall and domineering, his presence commanding attention. "The sooner you accept this, the better it will be for all of you. If you have a problem with her, you will have to deal with me." He reminded them.

    After introducing them to the audience, Asher helped her to sit down properly on the golden chair. "I wish your grandfather was here to witness this happy moment," Gloria spoke softly, her voice echoed across the silent ballroom as she wiped away the tear that slid down her wrinkled cheek. Her eyes held some memories of her husband who had improved the growth of the empire from little, and dreamed of seeing his legacy continue. "Everyone, I have an announcement to make here. I would like you all to listen attentively," Gloria declared. The serious expression on her face commanded instant respect. The grand ballroom fell into deep silence. Every eye in the room focused on the matriarch of the Jackson family. "Thank you all for attending my 80th birthday celebration, I appreciate you all." Gloria said, her eyes watery. "Tonight is not just about marking another year of my life, but about securing the future of our family legacy. I hereby announce on this special day that Ashe

    Asher assured her everything was in control. "You don't have to be worried, your grandmother has been transferred to another hospital within my security range.""When can I get to see her? " Ivana asked, her voice trembling with worry."You will see her very soon, we are trying not to alert Brooklyn. We also have to be careful so we don't alert him of your grandmother's whereabouts.” “Trust me, you will get to see her soon, but we have to show our faces together for my grandmother's birthday." He informed her, his tone both reassuring her.Ivana's face squeezed at the mention of Brooklyn's name. "What if he finds where she is? What if he hurts her because of me?""He can't do that," Asher said firmly, stepping closer to her. "My security team is there, it is our family hospital and the location is completely secure." Asher added.She looked at him with desperate eyes. "I just hope she's safe. I hope he won't harm you too…he has underground connections…”"So do I, the Jackson's will

    She turned around, her arms crossed over her chest. She was shocked as the person barged inside the room "Sorry about barging in like that," Elizabeth said with a scorn on her face. She ordered the maid helping Ivana to leave the room.She closed the door behind her, her expression was cold. "I just want to speak with you privately."Ivana just wrapped her gown around her shoulders, and said. "This isn't the right time to talk to Mrs Harrington. As you can see your daughter ruined my dress. What do you have to say?" Ivana asked her abruptly.“Oh really, that's not too bad.” Elizabeth smirked at her, unconcerned about what Ava did.“I just want to tell you that Ava belongs to Asher. Let's not play games here. We both know this marriage is a business arrangement. How much would it take for you to walk away?"Ivana's eyes widened in surprise. "Excuse me ma'am?" “My daughter had been arranged to be a Jackson since childhood. She won't make the mistake of letting another woman snatch h

    "Sister, kindly open your present. I'm sure it will be more valuable than what we presented," Anna stated, giving a satisfied look with Gloria and Cassie. The grand ballroom was filled with curious guests who watched with anticipation. Ivana's heartbeat increased, but she maintained her composure. It was her first real introduction to Asher's family and relatives, and she could feel the weight of judgment from some of the guests.Cassie stepped forward, urging Ivana with a fake smile plastered on her face. “Yes, it would be really nice if you could show us your present here,”"We're all so curious about the lovely present you want to offer at this wonderful occasion.” Anna added, cheering her.
