"We should get up." Jesse said."We should." Bella agreed but they didn't make any move to do so. "Do you think Mom knows?"."About what?"."That we've been... doing this?". She looked up at him. "You know, the morning we had breakfast on the patio and Mom asked us how our night was and we told her it was good?"."Yeah.""She had this 'I know what you've been up to' smile on her face."

He winked at her."You know we'll never get out of there." She countered. "I'll go in after you.""Alright." He leaned forward and kissed her then got off the bed and sauntered to the bathroom."Lucky me." She squealed. "I get to have all of t

"Mom!". Bella called rushing into the living room."What is it mi bebé? Why are you crying?". Aviva stood. "Is Jesse okay?"."He's fine." She sniffed. "It's Gwen." She sobbed. "She passed out in school. I think it's her heart again Mom.""Oh my goodness." Aviva gasped. "Did he tell you the name of the hospital he took her?"."Yes." She nodded."Let's go then." Aviva said and picked up her phone from the table and they both rushed out."I hope she's fine." Bella whispered tearfully as the driver drove out of the compound. "I can't lose her Mom. Jesse can't.""Everything's going to be okay darling." Aviva pulled her close and rubbed her back.

The next day"But I don't want to be homeschooled daddy. I'm fine." Gwen said and looked over his shoulder at Bella. "Mommy, please tell him I'm fine."Bella sighed and came forward to take Gwen's hand in hers. "We don't want you to be homeschooled too honey but that was what the doctor suggested and you know doctors are always right." She smiled assuringly at Gwen. "Daddy is very worried about you and so am I, infact everyone. You gave us quite a scare there Gwen.""I'm sorry." She apologized and looked down at the hand Bella was holding. "It's just... I won't have anyone to play with and what if I get a mean teacher who's not nice? Miss Ursula wasn't nice to me before but now she is.""We'll find you a very nice teacher." Jesse promised her. "We just want the best for you sweetheart.""I know." She smiled. "Will it be like normal school? I get to play during recess and stuff?"."Sure. It can be like normal school." Bella said.

"Good morning Mr Billion. I'm so sorry that I kept you waiting." The head master Mr Vitalis apologized closing the door behind him and hurrying to his seat. "It's fine." Jesse said. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit sir?." Vitalis asked. "I'm here because of what happened to my daughter two days ago." Jesse replied. "I assume that you were informed of the situation right?". "Yes. I'm really very sorry Mr Billion. Is Guinevere alright?". Vitalis inquired. "Yes but she won't be coming back to school." Jesse informed him. "Oh Mr Billion, don't tell me it's because of what happened that you want to withdraw your daughter. I had a word with Miss Frances. She's the teacher who gave Gwen's mother permission to see her. I warned her never to try that again." Vitalis told him. "She's also very sorry about what happened." "Well, what happened caused her to go into shock." Jesse said. "I almost hit my daughter with my car and that is something I'm yet to forgive myself for." V

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

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
