The Mayor's Second Wife Mariah's Hate
The inside of the house was just as elegant as the outside made you expect it to be. Jennifer didn't have much of a chance to look around, as Mrs. Morrison immediately whisked her away to the large dining table where everyone was gathered.Mr. Lucas Morrison stood immediately, his rather stoic expression breaking away as he smiled, and extended his hand. Jennifer, however had expected a hug and had her arms ready for one.He laughed, then pulled her into a fatherly embrace. Mrs. Morrison stood beside them, watching happily."Hello. You must be Jennifer."Jennifer turned to the woman. She was a bit taller, but the other woman was so dressed up, and spoke of elegance and dignity."Yes..yes, ma'am.""Oh, just call her Mariah." Mrs. Morrison interrupted with a disregarding wave of her hand.Mariah bit the inside of her cheeks at the disrespect, but maintained the smile. She extended her hand to her, her eyes hiding the deep contempt she felt."I am Elijah's first wife." She introduced. "
The Mayor's Second Wife I Want To Protect You
Jennifer smiled at Mariah's retreating figure, then lowered her head."Don't let it bother you." Elijah suddenly said as he lowered his fork."Is this really okay? You don't have to do this just because you pity me, you know. It is just that...I feel so bad seeing her that way."Elijah gently pushed his plate away, and turned his body completely towards her. He leaned closer, examining her facial expression."Pity?" He asked. "You think I pity you?" He did. But he didn't want her to know. She didn't need to look at him and think she was there just for the kindness of his heart."Then? You proposed to me because you pitied me...right?""Go to bed, Jennifer. I bet you will have a long day tomorrow with the wedding preparation."She nodded, letting the question he had left unanswered hang in the air. She probably did not need to know the answer either."Can I ask a question, then?""Go on," He said as he pulled her chair out and helped her from it, then started to lead the way to her roo
The Mayor's Second Wife First Night
She broke into a wide, beautiful smile. "You are a good man."He laughed and leaned back, feeling light for no reason at all. "You can read now. I'll be quiet."She nodded and turned her attention back to her book.The next couple of days saw her finding an escape from the hustle bustle in Elijah's study, whether he was around or not. She would read some books, a few that were familiar, and most that just piqued her interest.The days passed by so quickly, by the time she stopped to take a breath, it was her wedding. The day of her wedding with Elijah.He had, become even more respectable in her eyes, and she believed she has formed at least, the subtlest friendship with him. She didn't find herself as nervous that morning, as she sat in front of the large mirror and the makeup crew put her hair and face in order.Monica Lim had given certain instructions on her make up and hair, so that she didn't overshadow the dress or the jewelry, but perfectly complimented it.They first piled he
The Mayor's Second Wife Elijah's Brothers
Jennifer woke up the next morning, feeling a little better about the previous night. She had rested off the fatigue, and was now ready to officially live as Elijah's wife and daughter in-law of the Morrison family. Even though she didn't see any babies forthcoming for Mrs. Morrison, she was going to strive as hard as she could.She got ready quickly, at the record time of 8:23 a.m. It was weird when she went down and the house was already busy, with a lot of preparations going on. Mrs. Morrison was one agile woman despite her age, and she was going up and down, doing things and setting things right.Elijah was seated on the dining table in one of his perfectly fitted suit, his coffee in his hand as he swiped through the morning daily. Lucas too was doing the exact same thing. Genes never lie."Good morning, mother." She said as she walked to Mrs. morrison who was standing between the dining hall where Elijah was and the kitchen where Mariah was. She had made a quick trip to great Lucas
The Mayor's Second Wife Adapting To The New Environment
"Do not take what she said to heart. She is not a bad person, just really sharp mouthed."Elijah was standing in front of the bed, as he adjusted his watch."I understand." Jennifer sighed and sat on the bed. "You have to go to the office, right?""I am already late," He answered. "I might not come back tonight. The governor has alerted me of some small scale flooding in one of the provinces. I need to go there and check it out."He won't come back tonight. She bit down on her lip, thinking of how she would manage on her own. "Take care." She said. She didn't want to say anything else or look like she was dissatisfied with her life there already."I noticed you didn't have much earlier. I will send some food up for you, and I will tell mother that you don't feel well. Stay in here for as long as you want." With that, he left, even before she could thank him.He was thoughtful, but aloof. Kind but distant. She sighed and lay on the bed, staring up to the ceiling. She missed her mum now
The Mayor's Second Wife The Flood
Elijah hugged his coat tighter, as he stayed atop a little elevated hill, his hand clasped together. The flooding had affected a large part of the province, and the affected area was very close to Jennifer's home. He decided he would probably stop by before going home to check on them and make sure they were all fine, seeing as the unexpected flood had caused a few injuries.He also wanted to go back home today at least. He hasn't talked to jennifer ever since he was called by the governor, and it had been days already. He also made a mental note to get her a phone, so he can call her whenever."Ivan. Have you recorded all the casualties?"Ivan nodded, then walked over, holding a paper. "The casualties, the treated ones and the ones that are still receiving treatment are here. Also, the people we are supposed to compensate for losing their homes, I have documented them too. I will do the needful once I get back to the office."Elijah nodded, then stepped back carefully, and started to
The Mayor's Second Wife The Discovery
Elijah waited in the car as Jennifer wore her shoe. He watched her keenly, his eyes following her every movement.She lifted her eyes and saw him waiting in the car, then started to run towards it, so as not to waste his time. Her shoe, however, wasn't properly working just yet, causing her big toe to catch in it making her lose stamina. She reeked forward, just before she got to the car.Elijah opened to the door, but he was too late, and she fell right on her knee."Jennifer. Are you okay? Where does it hurt?" He came down to where she was on the floor, holding her knee."It is just a slight bruise." She said, trying to stand. He helped her up, but she was limping, so he held her back."Stop. Just wait." She obediently stopped walking. He went down and propped her knees comfortably on his hands, then carried her bridal style into the car."Thank you." She said, adjusting the knee length dress."Look at that. Elijah himself carrying a woman? It is unheard of." Stephanie stood in fron
The Mayor's Second Wife Another Discovery
"Is something wrong?" Elijah asked, as Jennifer went blank, her eyes filling with tears. "Jennifer," He said, shaking her gently. "Are you alright? What's wrong? Why are you crying?""Elijah," Mr. Morrison said. "I think it's best if you take her to your room. She must have been shocked by what she heard."Elijah nodded and without hesitation picked her up, cradling her in his arms. He walked to their room, where he gently placed her on the bed, then sat beside her. She was saying nothing, just crying hard, her hand covering her face."Let me get you some water." He wasn't sure how he could comfort a crying woman, especially when he didn't know the reason, so he thought it would be best to offer her water.He stood up and turned to leave, but Jennifer held the coat he was wearing back, as she sat up."What's wrong, Jennifer? Why did you suddenly start crying?"She sniffs. "My sister, Elijah.""What happened?" He asked, coming back to sit. She looked like she preferred his company to
