"It is so late at night, what is so urgent that could not wait till the next morning?" Xavier asked as he stood up to sit on one of the chairs. "I am aware of that but it was so urgent I had to call immediately" he explained. "So many companies are pulling out investment in the new company because of a scandalous rumor referring to the top model we used. "What?" Xavier could not wrap his mind around it. It was a bit too rare to have their models have scandals. The Braxton enterprise always stuck with models they had used before and for the first time, they decided to use a model who was new so they could appeal to the younger generations they had a serious crisis on their hands. "What is it? The scandal?" he asked sighing. "Scarlett who we used committed a series of crimes that the investors could not overlook""Such as?" Xavier barked. "Abortions, drunk driving, bullying amongst many others" he replied. "The investors are not too pleased and are asking why we used such a person.

Jessica had left the house with Genevieve. She has spoken to James' wife Lily who sounded like an absolute sweetheart. After Jessica had prepared breakfast after what felt like an excruciating long workout session, she had a one-on-one session with her aunt. Her aunt claimed she was not maximizing the potential of being married to a billionaire. Jessica advised her aunt to leave because she was not planning on extorting the Delgados so she would live a life she did not deserve. Olivia had made a big scene out of it and called Jessica ungrateful. She claimed to have taken care of her and she did not like how Jessica refused to repay. Jessica threatened to kick her out if she found her still in the house if she came back. "I can only imagine if this was how much pressure I made Dawson and Xavier feel when I did things like this" Genevieve commented silently as they drove. Jessica wanted to apologize but Genevieve kept rambling on. "I mean when I was a nuisance and making my family p

"What are you saying?" Xavier's voice came from behind them. "She got married to me so how is it that you are her only family?" he asked going to hold Jessica by the shoulders. "It's just that" Olivia started but trailed off when she could not defend herself. At that moment she felt like it was a wrong idea for her to have tried to extort them it seemed like they were not going to be moved by her ridiculous tactics. "Jessica can you take Papa upstairs I would like to have a conversation with your aunt here" "But..." "Oh don't worry and just take him upstairs. It is nothing serious and I can assure you that I will be up soon" he said cutting her off. Jessica nodded and went to stand behind Dawson's chair she turned in the direction. To be honest with herself she was greatly uninterested in being in her aunt's presence. She had had enough of her for a week and she had spent just a day. Jessica could not deny that Olivia was very exhausting to deal with. "I guess I better go to my

Jessica reluctantly got dressed. With everything that had happened today, she was not supposed to be doing this. It felt like a date. She went downstairs and met him ready to leave. He led the way and they took one of the cars with them. It was a convertible BMW. Jessica had thought Xavier too serious to be one who would take such a car out. She did not even know he owned one. "Nice car" she commented. "Are you just seeing it for the first time?" he asked shocked at her comment. "Yes," she said as she pulled her seat belt to fix it. "Here let me," he said as he went across her. Jessica froze in her seat as her hands were suspended in the air. 'What was he doing?' "There you go," he said sitting back in his seat and not acting like anything was wrong. 'Did he know how much he just made my heart beat? It was like my heart was ready to jump out of my chest just now. How would I be able to handle any situation like this again? It's like my defenses are getting weaker and weaker' Je

"What the hell" Emma screamed as she threw her phone at the wall. The entire internet was plastered with images of Xavier and Jessica having a good time. At first, it was of them in Aurora Haven and now they were back in Chiachester and it seemed like they were still on a date. Emma had always thought that their relationship could be a sort of contract because how was it that she went into a marriage without knowing him? She hated that it seemed like Jessica was higher than her now. She wanted so much to pull her down. She picked up her phone from the ground. Luckily for her, it was still usable after the fall. She dialed the number of her friend. She held her stomach in annoyance. The only reason she had settled for Burke was because Jessica so wanted him and now she wanted Xavier. She was going to do all she could to ensure that the marriage failed and that she became the lady of the Delgado family. It was obvious that Jessica was not fit for the task. "Hello, Emma to what do
