"Julian, what are you doing here? This isn't the bathroom," Camille said, walking up to where Julian stood beside Janet."I'm sorry about how this looks. It's just that while looking for the bathroom, a maid ran into me, spilling a drink on my shirt. Janet was descending the stairs when it happened, is he offered to help me clean up and that's why I'm here," Julian explained with a charming smile that even Camille couldn't help but notice."Mum, don't make too much out of this. He's such a funny guy. While trying to get out the stain, he kept making silly jokes," Janet laughed."Is that so? I'm glad that he makes you laugh, my dear. You deserve it all, you've been working so hard my dear," Camille said caressing Jessie's face.'Is your shirt alright now?" Jessie asked Julian."Yes, it is," Julian smiled.A maid came into the room and said, timidly, "Your guests have started arriving Madame Janet.""Really? Let's go downstairs now. The party has officially started," Janet said, eyeing
Being in a fake relationship with Muna might come with luxuries such as access to her amazing lips- Grant.GRANT"This is for you, Muna," I said, handing her the flowers as we approached the front door of my parent's mansion.She looked a bit surprised as she accepted the flowers from me. Her beautiful face contorted into a frown and she asked, "how did you know I liked pink tulips the most? You've been sending roses to my office all these time. Why tulips all of a sudden?""I know a lot about you that you wouldn't believe. Let's go in, Mum must be dying to see you," I replied with the smirk I know she hated seeing on my face."I don't know why I'm nervous all of a sudden. I have a bad feeling about deceiving your family and best friend like this," she said, licking her lower lip. It was something she always did whenever she got nervous. I watched her with fascination, I mean it wasn't fair for someone who hurt me like that to look so good.Muna was drop dead gorgeous and it's not li
Jessie came out of the closet, fresh from the shower in a loose black dress that Chanel brought from her apartment for her."So Chanel, tell me how your day with the hot Nathan and his cute kids went. Did you find out anything?" Jessie asked in French with a teasing smile before joining Chanel on the bed."Nathan is such an amazing person. Mark and Claire have no filter you know? They made it so easy for me to know that Nathan isn't dating anyone at the moment. They are very cheerful, it's hard to believe that they don't have a mum," Chanel answered back in French, twirling her hair."I guess Nathan is a good father. He'll definitely require a mother for his kids and you my dear are as single as the word single, itself. So did you shoot your shot?""Not yet, I like Nathan, but asides from him being a famous actor and a father to those beautiful children, I don't know much else about him. He was mostly quiet and all my attempts to ask him about Chase's past was to no avail. I noticed s
Jessie was back in the same nightmare, where she was running away in tears. Never had she expected things to turn out this way, especially at her birthday party.She couldn't believe the betrayal that she had experienced with her own eyes. It was hard to believe it when she had been warned by a family friend, but now that she had seen it for herself, it hurt more than walking on broken glass.Why did she do it? Why did he do it? Why they they do it? Was she that unsatisfactory as a girlfriend, just like she was as a child to her parents?Why did Jacques have to betray her? She had loved him deeply, with her whole heart. No, she wouldn't take it any more, she was going to pack her things and leave Paris for good.She didn't want to be a part of all the lies and fake affection anymore. She got into the car that had been presented to her as her twenty-fourth birthday gift from Jacques.The fact that she had to use his car, disgusted her, but she had no other option. She didn't want anyon
A single touch of hands with Grant can easily make me lose focus. Get your head together - MUNA.MUNAI sat at my dressing table, staring at my reflection in front of me. I still couldn't believe it was my engagement party today.I was dressed in a scarlet red designer dress with a sweetheart neckline. It wasn't too tight, but hugged my curvy figure, perfectly. My long hair was packed in a beautiful high bun. I had insisted on doing my make-up myself, and I had to say I did a great job.The day Grant got me this dress was the first time he spoke to me since the night we argued after dinner with his parents. In his exact words, "the dress was made for me. It was something he could hardly wait to see on me."Asides from today being our engagement day, it was also Grant's birthday. His parents were throwing a huge party for us at their mansion.I stood to adjust my gather and stockings with my feet placed on stool and at that exact moment, Grant walked into my room."Did you pose that wa
Jessie sat in Lenore's office, waiting eagerly for her to arrive. It was a bit too early at 8 am, but she just had to tell her that the plan wasn't working for her anymore.She was going to tell Lenore that she didn't want to deceive Chase anymore and end the whole digging for scoop thing. Chase deserved more than that from her. After spending the entire weekend with him and the twins, she didn't want to carry out the plan anymore. She couldn't risk losing Chase at the end of the day when her task was complete. At least they could be friends when he found out the truth about her.Lenore would just have to understand and even if she didn't, Jessie was going to quit her job at Tasty and still have Chase in her life, he was a billionaire after all and she didn't need a job with him around.While thinking of how she'd explain everything to Lenore, her mind was brought back to reality with the tall and gorgeous brunette walking into her office, gracefully.She was dressed in a red designe
"You don't have to sound that way, darling Jessie. All I want is for us to meet face to face, you see I heard something about what happened between us and I think it would be best if we talked about it," The voice said."Alright, where should I meet you?" Jessie asked, masking her shock."At the café next to Tasty Magazine. What do your think?""I'll be there in ten minutes," Jessie said and hung up immediately.She sat on the chair behind her desk, trying o forget all those memories of her past with Jacques. Why was she so nervous about meeting him? They had talked at Lenore's wedding party, but at least Chase was there with her. What did he mean by he heard about what happened between them?Jacques, over the four years since she moved to London, never failed to call from time to time, asking her to come back to him.When she met him at Lenore's wedding party, he had been so mean. He almost exposed the fact that she was an editor at Tasty. Had she not intervened, Chase would have fo
Jessie took out her phone when she got to her room to pack her things. She phoned Chanel who answered after two rings."What is it?" Chanel whispered in a low tone, which was very unusual of her."Are you alright?" Jessie had to ask. "Yes, I am. I need you to say whatever you want quickly, I'm in the middle of something," she whispered over the phone.Chanel was always bubbly and her low tone was just proof of the fact that something was wrong."I just wanted to tell you that Chase, the twins and I would be traveling to Rio De Janeiro tomorrow. He has business to do there and wants to use the opportunity to take the kids out for a change," Jessie said."That's awesome. Have you told Lenore about this, though?" "Not yet. Are you sure you're alright? Have you gone home? I hope it's not Lenore who's keeping you at the office till now," Jessie frowned."I'm in my flat. It's just... You know what? Forget it, I'll let you know what's up later. Enjoy your trip, okay?" Chanel said, trying t
