Joshua stepped in front of his father, "my dear brother-in-law, don't listen to my dad, I insist on accepting this gift from you. My dad is so ignorant, he doesn't know how things are done these days."Romeo nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, that's what I think too. Dad, you don't have to do that for me, you've given me a debt no money can ever repay, your daughter. I'm afraid I can never do enough to pay you back for getting married to a woman like her. Please, I insist you accept this gift." Kenneth nodded his head, trying to focus on what they were saying. "Uh uhm yeah, yeah I think... Okay. Let's do that since you keep insisting."A smile drew on Romeo's face. "Good then, would you like to have something to eat before we hit the road?""I know there will be more than enough to eat at the hotel, let's hit the road and forward the coordinates to Aria's parents." Joshua stated. They all agreed to his suggestion and started to leave Cara's apartment. Cara drew Romeo back and whis
Romeo felt like he was on a vacation, it had been a while since he got the chance to relax like that. Of course he had to tend to emergency calls from work but apart from that, he felt so loved and welcomed by Cara's entire family. But alas, it came to an end. Just as everything in life does. But he did not feel like he was saying goodbye to them, after all, they were all returning back together for the wedding. Just a day standing before him and his so long anticipated wedding with the woman of his dreams. But that day in between was not a day he was looking forward to. Cara would finally come straight with Chris, not that she had not done so before, but she would spell the words out loud and clear for him. All he could do was hope that it would go well. She planned on giving him a restriction notice, just to make him aware of how much she wished to keep him away. But all that was not what he needed to focus on just yet, everything was prepared expect for the discussion with Chri
Cara let out a scoffed laugh, "oh my goodness, Chris, are you being serious with me right now?" "Yeah I am! You know that I love you and everything I do, I'm doing it for you. I heard that you are planning on getting married to that rich spoiled brat, you know he has nothing good to offer you. He has money, I have money, he's not even half as good looking as I am. "He will just tie you down and hurt your feelings. He has no plan of loving you as a wife, he will only break your heart.""Chris..." Cara fell quiet for a moment, trying to put her words together. "You know what?" She asked with a soft sigh. "How about we meet up when I'm around?" Romeo arched his brow at her but said nothing to cut her off. He did not know what her plan was but he knew she would do what was best. Still, he had doubts about her meeting with her psychotic ex husband. "Really?!" Chris asked excitedly. "Are you being serious? You are not toying with me are you? Are you really going to meet with me? It's a
Kenneth and Miranda helped the couple settle in irrelevant of the fact that the visitation had been impromptu. Miranda was ever so excited knowing that Cara was with a baby and she would soon settle in her husband's house. She found the news surreal and still asked Cara again just to be sure. They all settled together for lunch, Joshua and his wife at the table as well. "Wow, somebody pinch me," Joshua said, "when has Cara ever wanted to spend a night here but now she is staying for days? I can't believe it."She punched her brother playfully, a smile splitting her face. "It's not like that, I actually miss home sometimes but i can't visit because i am always so busy. I couldn't take the hustle and bustle of the city anymore, I just needed a break."Miranda rubbed her back comfortingly, "well I'm glad you think of our home as a place to relax. I promise you, you will get to relax as much as you want to here."Cara nodded her head, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Anyway," Joshua
Chris' eyes flickered with evident confusion. Something about his movement made Jessica wish the floor would just open up amd swallow her. "What did you just say?" He repeated his question, taking a bold step towards her. She batted her lashes, anxiety causing her to take a step back. But she told herself she could still change her words, give it a different meaning. So she swallowed and let out a soft chuckle. Chris' brow twitched. "And what exactly is so funny here?" "Why are you getting all worked up? What I meant was would you still want custody if he was not your son? If you had married me after I had given birth to him for another man, would you still want him?" Chris still stared at her with doubt in his eyes, but he did not press further. "What an irrelevant question. Anyway, he is a sweet boy and I will still take him because I cannot leave you to raise a child, you would destroy his life." Cara scoffed a laugh, folding her arms below her breast. "And you wouldn't?" Her
Jessica got home, forcing herself to smile and keep conversations with her son. Jeremy was a lot more chatty than she thought. Opening the door, she stood there frozen like a statue. The first face she saw, reaching for the door knob from the inside was her husband, Chris. He stood there too, frozen for a second, eyes looking her up and down. She felt her heart skip a beat, the man she had forced another man's child on. What would he do to her if he found out the truth about Jeremy? Would he finally kill her? He had always threatened to do so for reasons that were nothing compared to huge secret. Did she love him enough to fear losing him to the truth? No. She did not care about that. She just did not want to get embarrassed and she was afraid of what he might to do her. Obviously something worse than a divorce. "What are you doing just standing there?" Chris' voice was a little relaxed compared to his usual sternness whenever he spoke with her. His voice cut her out from her th
