KINGSTON’S POV“There is no way you are getting married to that girl. She doesn’t deserve to be a Sanchez” My mother’s glare was fixed on me and I could tell that she already made up her mind but I already made mine too.I ignored her, focusing on my meal as if it was the most fascinating thing I ever saw. The last time I visited was three years ago after my fallout with Clarissa. Clarissa was the perfect daughter-in-law my mother wanted for me. She was from a prestigious family. She had a good degree and she was from money. Getting married to Clarissa would be of great advantage to Sanchez’s empire. My mother wanted that for herself. She already had plans on how to show off Clarissa to the world. Where they would go on their first mother and daughter-in-law vacation. Anyone would have thought my mother was the one getting married. Although we were already billionaires but having more money was important. At first, I didn’t care because I liked her, but after she cheated m
LUISA’S POVI hated the feeling of being watched, knowing that there was someone behind me who was monitoring every step I take was not an amazing feeling for me. Ever since the article of our interview was published, my face became known. I couldn’t follow the public bus to school anymore. In fact, I was not enjoying my school life. Almost everyone wanted to be close, even those that had ignored me on the first day of school. I hated attention, so I had to take a break from school and focus on other things.Mrs Sanchez had been coming to the mansion to talk about our wedding plan, although, I clearly told her I wasn’t interested in getting married to her son. To her, it only seemed like I don’t have a voice and my opinion was not important. She ignored me and proceeded with the plan. The only normalcy my life had was whenever I visited my mother. It always feels nice discussing with someone that understands me well. Although that bit of normalcy was mostly obstructed knowi
KINGSTON POV“I want all those false news off from every blog and newspaper. I want you to erase it like it never existed in the first place. Can’t you do your damn job properly? The post was not supposed to surface in the first instance.”I was angry.“And I want you to call Jared to make sure Luisa is safe wherever she is. I want her protected twenty-four/ seven. I don’t care how it’s done but nothing about her must surface on the internet anymore. I don’t expect a sneak of their picture or their location online.”Seth nodded. He was supposed to be in charge of any of my affairs on the internet. It was no secret that journalists and those rats that called themselves bloggers would always want to write something about me, so, I employed Seth to block most of the irrelevant news regarding me. If the news was just about me, I wouldn’t have been angry but I hated the fact that Luisa and Chris were dragged into this mess with me. After dishing out all the necessary task I felt wa
LUISA'S POVLuisa's POVTo some, meeting a rich billionaire and getting sudden fame might be a blessing. Suddenly, everyone knew who they were and wanted to be friends with them. Their financial problems were suddenly solved and they could afford all they had always dreamt about. Yet, so far, it had been more of a curse than a blessing to me. Yes, I wanted my financial problem solved but I didn’t want to get married to a man as a ticket out of poverty. Then being famous had never been my dream. I just wanted a happy home.Now, I was getting famous in all the wrong ways and my life was the most exciting topic to the public.My phone kept on ringing and every time I saw that it was Kingston, I ignored it. I don’t want to speak to him. If only he had left us both alone, we wouldn’t be in this mess.“I think you should pick up his call.” My mother said she didn’t have to check my phone to know who was calling.“I don’t want to speak with him right now.”“But he has the right to kn
KINGSTON’S POVI had two things on my mind; one, find Luisa, talk to her and know what’s going on, and two, go to my mother and deal with everything regarding Clarissa.Jimmy was back and expecting my next course of action. I called Seth first, “How’s it?”I heard low sounds of typing. “I am still working on it. I have gotten some of the internets but it’s just too much.”“I don’t care how you get it done, but I want it done before the end of the day.” I hung up.I guess I would leave seeing Luisa till next time, but I will keep trying her number. Whenever there wasn’t a piece of the news online, I can boldly visit Luisa. Then, we could discuss, and this time around, I mean really discuss with her.“Jimmy, get the car ready. We are going back to my parent.”Jimmy stood up immediately as if he was already awaiting that instruction. I packed my files and called my personal assistant to postpone every meeting scheduled. I was doing a lot of things that were not adding money to my in
Jenny was the visitor I was expecting – the one I believe I needed to talk to. When I opened the door for her to come in, Jared, the bodyguard made sure that no one except Jenny came in. They were few reporters outside and some were actively taking pictures without seeing me clearly.“This is some serious shit. It’s as if you are some sort of celebrity that they are trying to get in touch with.” She sat down, nodded and continued. “I guess you are some sort of celebrity. The wife of the young billionaire, Kingston Sanchez.”I ignored her. Jenny had always had something about money. She believes money solves all problems. “So, how are you holding up? How’s Chris and your mum?”I sighed. My mum was silent ever since I insisted on not listening to her love story. She was giving me the silent treatment and Chris was with her. I guess, grandmother was more fun than a mum with lots of thoughts. “They are fine.”She nodded. “How are you holding up? It’s just a day so far.”It was more
Kingston’s POV Evading the journalist was the easiest thing for me. I made sure they couldn’t get a facial picture of Luisa or Chris. They were more than satisfied with our back pictures as if it was the most pleasant picture, they could get hold of. I know it was their job but it was so late at night, yet they were staking outside an innocent woman’s house just to fire her with questions. They have learnt to respect themselves to a level in my presence. I don’t respond to any of their questions. Never. If I needed to pass on information to them, I would request a private interview. They need to learn how to respect people’s privacy to a level. I would make sure none of the pictures surfaces online, even those of the back pictures. Jimmy smiled at Luisa the moment she gets in the car. Chris was asleep on her lap, and I collected him to make her feel comfortable. “How are you holding up?” He asked her. She smiled. She gave him a genuine smile that she had never given me before
Luisa’s PovI had come to accept Kingston in my life. He was good to me and Chris, plus he cared. I had gone back online to check the news; no matter how I wanted to show that I couldn’t care about what others thought about me. I found myself going back to check some of the comments, and there were none online. The pictures. The news. It was as if it never existed in the first place, and no soothsayer had to tell me it was all Kingston’s doing.Now, we were in the stage of getting to know each other. The only problem was Clarissa and her daughter who always came to visit. Kingston had accepted her as his daughter, and they visit always. Nelly had a room in the mansion. She usually played with Chris and I felt that he would get too close to him. I did not mind them getting closer, but I minded her mother’s attitude toward us. It was also obvious that Clarissa hated me. Whenever I tried to have a conversation with her, she shut me up. In Kingston’s absence, she called me good
