Bella opened her eyes, looked at his face then at the ring on her finger and gasped."You like it?". He sounded nervous."Is this... my mom's ring?". Bella asked. "It's exactly like my mom's.""Really?". He looked surprised. "I picked it out of a sea of rings.""It's beautiful." She cooed. It was a white gold heart shaped ring that had very tiny hearts surrounding it and it shone bright under the light. "It's gorgeous.""There's something on the inside." He informed her.Bella removed the ring to see what was on the inside shank of the ring and gasped again when she read the inscription. "Always and Always." She breathed then looked up at Jesse. "You mean it?"."Yes." He replied. "With all of my heart.""I love it." She smiled big at him and put on the ring. "I love it very much." She hugged him. "Thank you.""No, thank you." He whispered in her ear. "So how did it go?". She pulled back to look at him. "Gwen's withdrawal from school.""Okay. I got her transcripts and her name is offi
Alexandra Benson had only ever loved one man and his name was Jesse Billion. They had attended the same high school and had been classmates but Jesse never noticed her. Heck, nobody did until a geek who went by the name Albert asked her out in front of the whole class a week before valentine's day. She didn't have a date to the party Jesse was throwing at his house and she really wanted to know where he lived so she said yes.Albert Benedict was the first and last boyfriend she ever had and that was because she held onto the hope that maybe one day... Jesse Billion would notice her and like her, then date her and they'd live happily ever after. He never did. It was her dream thirteen years ago and until recently, still was but now - fate decided to play another joke on her by bringing the gorgeous Mexican billionaire into his life as if his first wife wasn't enough.Alexa plastered a smile on her face as the door opened and Bella Arroyo walked in dressed in a short green sundress pair
The next day"Mom, will it be possible for Alexa to stay with us?". Jesse asked Aviva. "Why?".Jesse shrugged. "She said something about moving out of her sister's house since she just relocated here from the south so I thought it'd be better for her to stay here instead of living somewhere far away but I told her I'll speak to you about it first." Jesse replied."She seems like a nice lady." Aviva said. "She can have the guest room in the staff quarters.""Thank you Mom.""You're welcome honey." She smiled.Jesse hoped that the feeling he had about Alexa making him uncomfortable in her presence was wrong. He didn't want to have to explain to Gwen or even Bella why Alexa couldn't stay. She was the perfect tutor for Gwen."I want you to suit up come Monday morning Jesse." Aviva told him. "Uh... Okay." He looked confused. "Are we going somewhere?"."Yes." She grinned broadly at him. "Vincenzo has a surprise for you."Jesse frowned. "Bella's dad is in Nigeria?"."No silly!". She laughe
Alexa was about to go to bed when her phone rang on her bedside table. She sighed and sat up in bed, removed the charger from the port and checked the caller ID but it was an unknown number."Probably a scammer." She hissed and dropped the phone then laid back on the bed to sleep but the incessant ringing made her irritated so she picked up the phone angrily and answered the call."You should find someone else to scam cos I'm not available." She snapped."Alexa?". It was Jesse."Oh! Mr Billion!." She blushed. "I'm really sorry, I thought you were someone else.""It's alright. I get calls like that too." He said. "I'm not interrupting anything right?"."No sir.""Okay, well I just called to inform you that you can move in anytime you want." Jesse said. "I talked to my godmother and she said it's fine.""I can move in tomorrow." Alexa suggested."Okay." Jesse said. "You only need to pack your clothes and nothing else.""Thank you very much sir for this opportunity you're giving me." She
Alexa walked into her new room just as Jesse and Paul finished installing the new TV on the wall. She was glad to be away from Tyra and her negative comments and only wanted to think positively."All done." Paul said and turned off the TV."Thank you very much." Alexa told them. "Do you like the room?". Jesse asked her after her little tour of the room."It's perfect." She smiled. "I love it. Thank you for letting me stay here.""It's nothing." Jesse dismissed it. "We'll leave you to settle down and... do join us for breakfast.""I don't want to impose." She smiled shyly."You're not." He told her."Alright. What time do you eat breakfast?"."8." Paul said. "That's Twenty minutes from now.""I'll be there." She assured them."Excuse us." Jesse said and left with Paul.Alexa twirled around the room happily and landed on her bed with a sigh. "I accept your unspoken challenge my dear sister." She muttered. "Two months. That's all I need."~~~~~Alexa walked into the dining room a few m
"Heeyy Regina!". Paul walked into the kitchen and sidled up to her. "How is the best cook in the world doing today?".Regina smiled. "What do you want Paul?". She chuckled."So... I enjoyed breakfast today. It was superb." Paul said. "It's a pity though that we're the only ones enjoying your meals. Wouldn't it be great if you can open a restaurant so other people can benefit from the goodness of your heart and the magic of your hands?".Regina stopped what she was doing and tilted her head to look at Paul with an amused smile on her face."It will be great." She agreed. "I will be able to make people happy and I'll become famous. You're right.""See?". He grinned. "Of course I'm right.""But... I can't leave Mrs Arroyo." Regina told him."What?". He whined."I'm sorry but I'm really happy working for Mrs Arroyo." She said. "I've been her housekeeper for years and I don't see myself leaving her. She took me in when I had nowhere to go and she's like family to me. You can't turn your ba
"Here, I found it." Abby returned with her high school year book and opened to the last two pages. "Here she is." She pointed to Alexa's picture.Jesse took the book from her and looked at the picture. Her cheeks were plump and her face wasn't as smooth as it was now but she was pretty."She was our classmate?"."Yeah. She sat at the back of the class." Abby replied. "Didn't you ever notice her?"."No." He shook his head. "Maybe I was kind of a jerk back in high school because I hardly talked to people who weren't my friends. It was just you, Kester and I until I met Olly and Henry in college.""She was my partner in a science project once." Abby said. "She didn't talk much and she was always alone but she once told me a secret she made me promise never to tell you.""You can tell me now. I'm sure it's null and void now after so many years." He said."Well..." She paused. "You're not going to confront her about this right?"."Why would I? I have a fiancee I like very much thank you."
A wave of nostalgia swept over Jesse as he stepped into the lobby of Standard Flour Mills Limited. Years ago, he'd been the general manager of this company but Helena had taken that position from him out of spite and left him with nothing but now... Well, now he couldn't exactly say why he was here or what he was here for but he was keeping his fingers crossed that the surprise would be a dream come true."Good morning Mrs Arroyo, Miss Arroyo and Mr Billion." The receptionist greeted them. "Mr Allen awaits your presence in the conference room.""Good. Lead the way dear." Aviva smiled at the lady.The receptionist led them to the elevator and they got in. She pressed the button for the top floor and the elevator began its ascent."Rebecca." Jesse called."Yes sir?"."Is... Helena in the building?"."Yes sir. She arrived not quite long." Becca replied."Thank you." He sighed."What's wrong?". Bella asked him."I was hoping I wouldn't have to see her face." He muttered. "But wishes aren'
