Claimed by the billionaire at the altar 46
By afternoon, I was feeling a bit better. The doctor prescribed some Tylenol. He confirmed that I was just tired and I needed some rest.Now, Nate and I were in the gazebo. He came with some food from our favorite spot and some flowers. It was sweet.Initially, he wanted us to drive to the city but I wasn’t having it. Now wasn’t a good time to be outside without security, I was worried about Nate too. What if Mr Burke decides to harm him? “My parents went to see your folks at the hospital the other day,” he said, eating a chicken wing “Your mother is excited about our wedding plans,” he smiled. “She doesn’t want the wedding here, she wants somewhere we can have a nice wedding without any interruptions.” “Oh,”I hadn’t really thought about the wedding. Even now, I couldn’t picture myself in a wedding dress or walking down the aisle. Why did Nate not notice I was sick? He didn’t ask how I was doing. Did he have to bring up the wedding now? “She doesn’t want Zac there. He has a

I woke up with a start. The last thing I remembered was talking to Nate on the phone. At that time, I was in the living room and now, I was in my room. I groaned as I turned in bed, I didn’t feel good. Someone had also changed me out of my day clothes. “You’re awake,”I turned to meet Zac’s eyes. What was he doing in my room? He was sitting on the chair by my window. Had he watched me sleep? “Zac?”My head hurts as I try to sit up. I moaned as I pulled myself up. “You were burning up last night. The doctor would come see you today,” “Oh,”I knew I needed to rest, all the stress I’ve been through n had finally gotten to me. “Did you change my clothes?” I asked shyly I had on a white baggy top that was almost see through and some shorts underneath. “No,” he shook his headI could have sworn I saw him blush but Zac being Zac, such expressions left almost as quickly as they came. “Miss Martha helped me with that,” he added quickly Miss Martha was our cleaner, she came a

The next day, I decided to get newspapers from my parents house. Papa kept records of old newspapers at home, I was certain I was going to find something that would be of help. Mr Vincent helped me pick them up and I spent the afternoon going through each newspaper.According to the newspapers, Zac’s father and Mr Burke were best friends. They went to the same college and started up their business almost at the same time. Mr Burke's business was doing really well. He manufactured home appliances and in no time, he became a millionaire. Zac’s father on the other hand was struggling. His parents used all they had left to pay for his tuition fees in hopes that when he was done with college, he’d get a good job and he can support them financially. Mr Gonzales decided to borrow some money from Mr Burke to start up another business. No one believed in tech companies at that time but in less than a year, Mr Gonzales had done really well for himself. Bigger telecommunications companie

When Nate left, I was left alone with my thoughts. We spoke about what our plans for the future were. He suggested I grant a media outlet an interview and let them know the truth. Some people were going to believe me, some weren’t but according to Nate, it would help us move on. He didn’t care if Zac came to tell the truth or not. He promised to stick by me through it all. Now, I wasn’t bothered about clearing my name anymore though I didn't make it known to Nate. I was in danger, Olivia and her father were probably going to kill me because of Zac. It didn’t matter what my truth was, those people were ruthless. Zac speculated that Mr Burke could have killed his father. The late Mr Gonzales was a very healthy man, he was never in and out of the hospital. One day, he came home from a meeting, feeling really sick. Mrs Gonzales assumed he was just tired from the day's work. By midnight, it got worse, he was writhing in pain. By the time he was taken to the hospital, he was pronounced

I couldn’t get him out of my head. His breath, his smell, his eyes, everything. We avoided each other. I was scared of what was going to happen if we were left alone in a room. I had made so many mistakes in my life but giving into my desires with Zac was going to be one of the costliest and worst ones.I couldn’t cheat on Nate who was sitting across me now. Security around the house was really tight so Nate couldn’t come visit as often. He was searched before entering the house. Now, we were seated at the gazebo in the garden.We barely said anything to each other, we were just staring into space.My heart was laden with the guilt of wanting another man. Could I be upset with Nate, really? Maybe he could tell I was attracted to Zac and he just wanted to be sure I had done nothing. “Jane,” Nate looked at me finally. “I don’t know where to start. I just feel like I’ve been apologizing a lot lately. I promised you I’ll change but I haven’t. I should have stood up to my family, y

“Jane,” Zac started, his voice solemn. “I’m so sorry you’re caught up in all of this.”I was still riled up from what I had just seen and heard. My heart was about to jump out of my chest and my eyes were darting all over, looking for any sign of danger. “Zac, you have to give these people what they want.” I pleaded. “Your mom was right. They aren’t going to stop until they get what they want.” “I know,” he sighed. “The same thing happened to my father. If I don’t end it now, it’s going to be a cycle,” “What are you talking about?” I asked as I adjusted myself.We were now in the car, waiting for Mr Vincent. Zac didn’t know what to do with the man in black, he couldn’t hand him over to the police, at least not yet. If he did, Mr Burke would know we were onto him. “Many years ago, my father worked with Mr Burke. Things went south and the feud began. You see, Mr Burke was trying to get me to work with him but I refused. He’s trying to get back at me,”My face twisted in disgu
