"What do you possibly mean by that?" Jessica asked. She had been arguing in front of the courthouse over the phone for the last ten minutes.Today was her wedding day. She and her high school sweetheart, Burke, were supposed to meet up here by ten-thirty a.m. to have their wedding."Burke, it is ten forty-five a.m. Where are you?" she asked, her voice shaky."Jessica, I won't be coming today," Burke said."What do you mean by that? We are to get married today," she said again. This time, she felt something trickling down her eyes. She sniffled to drive away the tears so her makeup didn't get ruined."Jessica, I don't think I love you enough to want to get married to you and live together in the same house," he said. She felt her heart sink.They had been planning the wedding together ever since he popped the question. He knew of her dream to get married and live in a house that had a yard for the kids to play in. He had no house with a yard, but they planned to get one."I won't force

Branch Two

"I thought you said she would be here on time?" Xavier shouted over the phone to his assistant, Brian.The doctors had told him that his grandfather had barely two weeks left. Xavier had lied to his grandfather that he had a girlfriend.His grandfather had said that the girlfriend be wedded and presented to him before he died so he could transfer the company out of a management specialist to his name.His grandfather knew what a responsible man Xavier was, but he feared that if he left the world, Xavier would be all alone and later the company would leave the Delgado household.Dawson (Xavier's grandfather) decided that instead of Xavier giving up the company in the long run, he would be the one to leave the company in the hands of those who could manage it.It would make him roll in his grave if Xavier gave up on his hard work and sweat. He would rather do it for himself.Xavier knew he owed it to his grandfather. When his parents died in a ghastly motor accident that claimed their li

"What?" Xavier said dropping the phone from his ears to look at this girl. How could she just think to get married to him when she knew nothing about him? "Are you from the marriage service?" he asked. His question threw Jessica off balance. "No," she said biting her lips. She was sure that her makeup was now ruined by all the crying she had done. The conversation she overheard made her decide to make sure she got married before leaving the courthouse and since this man was in desperate need of a wife she decided to step up to the task. "You need a wife don't you?" she asked sniffling. Her crying had left her nose running. "Yes, I am" Xavier answered. It just occurred to him that she could be an answer to his solution. "I was dumped on my wedding day. I don't want to bore you with all the details but I see you need a wife. I could be your wife" She said. Xavier looked at her carefully. She looked sane after the ruined makeup on her face. He put back the phone to his ear."Ensure

Branch Four

Jessica blinked multiple times. She could not believe she just got married. Under normal circumstances, she was supposed to give her husband a big kiss on his lips. Looking beside her at the stranger who she just found was Xavier Delgado, she still couldn't believe she was married. "Would you like to take pictures?" one of the witnesses asked them. "Yes," Xavier answered collecting the marriage certificate from the judge. "Thank you for today," he said addressing the judge. "Let's go take our picture," he said standing up and leaving. Jessica could barely comprehend what was going on but it seemed as if Xavier had come to terms with the fact that he had married a stranger. He seemed comfortable with it. Jessica goes outside and sees him standing in front of the courthouse holding the certificate. She approached him and stood close to him. "If we are taking a picture, we better make it believable that we just got married," Xavier said "You didn't ask me if I am okay with taking

Branch Five

Xavier was used to driving in silence but he needed to let her in on some secrets. "As you heard before my name is Xavier Delgado" Xavier started. Jessica was retained back to reality by his voice from her chain of thoughts. She turned to face him to take in all that he had to say. Since he needed a wife there must be a backstory. "My grandfather is sick and in the hospital and he had been hugging me to get married. I was to going to get married to a girl from a wedding agency but she didn't show up so I got married to you.""I had told my grandfather that we have been dating for a year now and that's why we got married""Okay," Jessica responded. "What do you do?" Xavier asked her when he saw that she responded. "I'm an assistant chef at L'Verine restaurant" Jessica answered. Xavier knew the place he had dined there quite several times. He wondered if she had seen him. The thought of her approaching him purposely since she knew that he was rich crossed his mind but he did not b

"Any other thing I need to know before meeting your grandfather?" Jessica said as they pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. "He is always tired because of the liver cancer so he can barely talk. Let's just greet him for today and that would be all" He replied. He hoped that getting to the hospital room would at least get him to stop talking at last. "Okay then," Jessica said pulling out a small mirror in her bag. She checked her image and practiced smiling. If they were dating she had to make it believable that she was happy being married to a stranger. Xavier stared at her as she did so. There was something very different about her. She has this aura surrounding her that he could not explain. "Shall we?" Xavier asked unclasping his seat belt and opening the door. Jessica did the same and they both came down. "Here is the ring. I hope it fits" Xavier said pulling out two rings from his picket. One has a diamond head crested inside a gold band the other had little diamond

Branch Seven

"And who is this" Dawson said pointing to Jessica. "This is Jessica and she is my wife," Xavier said taking Jessica's hand and putting her forward.Jessica came forward and looked at the grandfather. He looked healthier than she thought. Was Xavier sure that his grandfather had last-stage liver cancer? "Good afternoon Mr. Delgado," Jessica said giving him a slight bow. How could she ever think she would stand before a self made billionaire not less than talking to him? She felt her feet sweating in her shoes. "Good afternoon Jessica" Dawson said smiling. For some reason best unknown to him, he liked Jessica. "Please call me Dawson" He added. "Oh, can I?" Jessica asked somewhat afraid. Dawson could tell that Jessica was not quite comfortable. "Did Xavier just tell you this morning that he was a Delgado?" Dawson asked to Jessica's surprise. "....hmm..." she stuttered not knowing what to say. "Papa," Xavier said. "I'm just asking your lovely wife here why she feels so uncomfort

Branch Eight

The couple left the hospital room after much pleasantries and goodbyes. Jessica decided that she liked Dawson. He was a likable old man. She began to see where Xavier got his looks from. His aloofness and coldness she guessed came from his parents. The ride was to the house where she would be staying. She knew that she couldn't return to her house so she followed him home. He entered the gate of a huge mansion and parked his car at the entrance of the house. A man came to collect the key to re-park the car. He coiled in shock at seeing a strange woman there. She came down and followed after his boss. Since he had been working here he had never seen Xavier interested in women. Some of the household staff even thought he was gay. "Gather the staff," Xavier said to the women they met at the door. She looked like she was in her mid-forties. "Yes young master" she replied and turned to enter the house. Jessica pinched herself and was shocked she felt the pain. She was convinced thi

The introduction to the staff was short as Xavier decide to only introduce Roselle. He believed that she would learn their names with time. "Come with me," he said standing up. The whole staff bowed as he left the room. Sure they were itching to gossip but they wanted to wait till he left the house. Silently with looks that said talk to you later they all fled the scene. Xavier pushes his room door open and entered. Jessica followed, she noticed that the room was occupied but very neat. Looking at the picture frame on the table she could tell it was his room. "We will use this room together," Xavier said to which Jessica gasped in shock. "What, why how?" Jessica asked putting her hands up to her breast."I thought you would give me my room?" she asked him. "My grandfather has eyes watching us and in no time he would know that we are not together," he said, and although Jessica knew that he saying the truth she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Don't worry, I would not do any

Branch Ten

The driver drove her to her house. She picked up her already packed suitcase. She has suggested that she and Burke move there after marriage since her place was bigger but Burke had suggested they put up the place for rent for extra cash. The extra cash was going to her alone now. She went to her real estate agent to list her house for rent. Her agent had celebrated with her for moving out. Jessica had skipped over the details but told her that she had gotten married and decided to leave the place. Her phone vibrated in her bag again and she picked it up and put it to her ears. "Hello, Jessica" Burke's voice rang through the phone. His voice still sent shivers down her spine. "Hello Burke" she replied feeling the tears coming back again. The driver was going back to the house. She had decided to go rest and then get whatever she needed the following day. She was exhausted. "Why does it say you got married to Xavier Delgado?" Burke asked. Jessica was disappointed by his question.
