“You’re late on your rent, your utilities are all set to be cut off, there’s no food in the house, and you have three children. You must take this offer, Lawrence. You have no other choice,” his sister told him. “Besides, Jada will have a better life than you could ever hope to provide her. She may not think so now…but one day she will thank you,” Marilou told her brother. Lawrence looked at his sister sadly and agreed. “Call Mrs. DeRoya and set up the meeting. I’ll find a way to explain it to Jada and hope she won’t hate me forever,” Lawrence said in defeat. Marilou hugged her brother and left. He sat up in his hospice bed and looked at the picture of his children with tears in his eyes. “I’m sorry I let you down, my children,” he said. Jada had just graduated from high school and celebrated her 18th birthday, both in one week. Marilou had been the only one in attendance for her, but she was glad she had her aunt. Her father had been sick for so long, and now he was in the final s

Brayden sent a dozen roses to her home. Her aunt received them and read the note. “Let me take you out to dinner tomorrow night. I’ll pick you up at 6pm. Your Fiancé” it said. Marilou smiled, thinking maybe this man would be a good husband to her niece after all. Jada was surprised by the flowers and the invitation. She had barely dated in high school. There wasn’t much time or money for such things. She smiled slightly, thinking of the handsome man. He wasn’t as rude as he seemed. He was fun to talk to in the lobby last night, she thought. Marilou came over that afternoon and gave Jada a makeover. Hair, nails, dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. Fortunately, Marilou wore the same size clothing and had some very nice-looking outfits and shoes. She chose a royal blue sparkly low-cut dress that came to her mid thigh. The shoes were black strappy heels 3” high. Jada protested, saying she felt very uncomfortable. “We are trying to show this man what he’s getting, dear. You look fabulous!”

Brayden spoke to his mother over dinner that night about Jada. “Mom, I have fallen for this girl. I don’t want to do the contract with her anymore after getting to know her. She’s different than any woman I’ve ever been with, Mom. She appreciates every little thing I do for her, every compliment, every gift is a big deal. She is very kind and considerate, and always thinks of others before herself. She’s beautiful and she doesn’t even know it, Mom. She’s the kind of woman I want to marry for real, not a fake marriage,” he said. “Brayden, my son, you are a DeRoya. Your father came to this country and made his fortune from his wisdom in agriculture and business. He started small, he faced much discrimination and dealt with many obstacles, but he overcame them all because of his hard work and determination. It was his dream to pass the empire he has built to you, his only son. You can’t let that fall into the hands of this girl from the slums, Son. I won’t permit it. That is why, once

Jada stayed up past midnight packing up some of their belongings she wanted to take to the Old Mansion with them. Brayden texted her around that time. “What are you doing, Pretty Lady?” He texted. “Packing some things up to take with us,” she texted back. “Just bring a few things for now, we can get the rest later. I want you rested up for tomorrow evening,” he said. “I can’t wait to see you in that wedding gown and make you my wife,” he told her. “I’m looking forward to it as well. A little nervous about your mom. I know she’s not happy about us being together,” she admitted. “You don’t worry about a thing. I’ve got you, My Love. You just practice your lines, so you get them right tomorrow,” he teased. “My lines?” She asked. “Practice saying ‘I Do’ so you’ll get it right when the preacher asks you if you’ll take me,” he teased. “Ok, so it’s ‘I Do’ not ‘I Don’t’ then?” She teased back. “Yes, practice so you get it right,” he said. “Okay, Sweetheart, I’m going to bed…by myself to

Brayden sent several big boxes to Jada’s house that morning. He sent a tuxe for Charley with shoes, a pink satin dress and shoes for Charity. There was a pink ice and white sapphire tennis bracelet for Charity, and a smart watch for Charley with notes telling them how happy he was for them to be his family. In addition, there was a maroon satin Gucci gown for Auntie with a Gucci purse and shoes. He wanted to make Jada’s dream come true of having a formal wedding ceremony even though it would just be their families there. Charity had been so excited, calling Jada a princess and Brayden her prince that he wanted her to be part of the whole experience. Auntie Marilou had been an integral part in getting their relationship going, so he wanted to show appreciation to her as well. Charley would be walking Jada down the isle, so he wanted to make him into a debonair gentleman today. Later that morning, a dozen Roses arrived for his bride. The note read, “waiting anxiously for my beautiful

Brayden carried Jada into his bedroom, locking his door as he sat her down. “Now, for the moment I’ve been looking most forward to. He started toward her, and she playfully ran from him, playing hard to get. He chased her around the room, finally catching her and picking her up in his arms, spinning around with her and falling down on the bed with her under him. Jada laughed until she saw the lustful gaze he gave her. She cupped his face with her hands and kissed him. Brayden deepened the kiss, tasting the sweetness of her tongue and her soft lips. “I love you, Jada,” he told her. His confession surprised her. She stared at him and smiled with tears of joy gathering in her eyes. “I love you too,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck as they kissed. “I think I should take this expensive gown off, don’t you think so?” She asked, teasing him. “I can help you with that, My Love,” he offered, raising up off her. She allowed him to unzip her gown and she carefully removed it, lay

Daphne had an idea. She had to put Jada in a bad light in Brayden’s eyes. She called up her handsome cousin and told him she needed a favor. She asked Evelyn if he could stay at the mansion, telling her the plan she had in mind. Caleb was a playboy and knew how to influence a woman. She asked him to come and seduce Jada, putting her in questionable circumstances so that Daphne could blackmail her to leave Brayden. Once his heart was broken and he turned against Jada, she would be there to comfort him, she thought. Once Jada and Brayden got back in their room, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her with passion. “Hold on a minute,” he said, picking up his phone and turning on some soft music. He smiled at her and pulled her close, dancing with her. Brayden closed his eyes, enjoying their moment together. Jada was doing the same. She loved being in his arms, and she enjoyed dancing with him. “You smell so good!” She commented, inhaling his expensive cologne. “That’s what we forg

While they were having breakfast the next morning, the doorbell rang. Hobart came to announce that Caleb Devareau had arrived. Daphne got excited at the news, and Evelyn told him to invite the man to join them. A very handsome very well-dressed man of Mediterranean descent entered the room. “Marcy, please bring our guest a breakfast plate,” Evelyn instructed. “Caleb went to Daphne first and kissed her cheek. “Hello cousin, so nice to see you,” he said. Then he greeted Evelyn. Mrs. DeRoya, as beautiful as ever,” he said, kissing her hand. “Welcome, Caleb. We are so happy that you have come to visit,” Evelyn said. Brayden greeted Caleb with a handshake and introduced his wife. The man kissed Jada’s hand and lingered a moment, staring at her. Brayden bristled a little at the man staring at his wife and suggested that he have a seat and enjoy breakfast with them. Brayden asked Caleb what brought him to the mansion, wanting to know his business there. Caleb began to talk about som

Jada was slightly perturbed that Brayden had made such a decision without consulting her first. She turned away from him in bed, not speaking to him. He tried to get her to turn over, but she resisted him. “Jada, Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” He asked. She ignored him, tears gathering in her eyes. He heard her sniffing and realized she was crying. Brayden jumped out of bed and ran over to her side of the bed, stooping down in front of her. “Baby…what’s wrong? Please talk to me. I can’t stand seeing you upset,” he pleaded. Jada sat up, wiped her tears and blew her nose. Brayden sat down by her, putting his arm around her. “Tell me what I did wrong, and I promise, I’ll fix it,” he vowed. Jada looked at him, pouting at him. “You made a decision about the two of us that should have been discussed,” she said, still upset with him. “What did I…ohhh,” he said, suddenly realizing his faux pas. He leaned his head on her shoulder, holding onto her arms. “Jada, honey, I’m sorry. If you do

Jada and Marilou had a relaxing day at the spa. They got mani/pedis, facials, full body massages, and spray tans. Another place provided waxing, professional makeup application and hairstyles. Jada said she really felt like a princess with all the attention. It was a full makeover for them both. When Brayden picked them up, he praised them both on how lovely they looked. “Let’s go pick you both out evening gowns for our cruise since you look so beautiful already,” he suggested. Jada chose an emerald satin off the shoulder gown and Marilou chose a teal blue satin sleeveless one. They had him take pictures as they styled the gowns for Brayden. He talked them into wearing their new gowns out to dinner with him. When they arrived at the restaurant, Marilou was delighted to see that Carl had met them for dinner. Marilou smiled and gracefully took Carl’s arm that he offered her, and she smiled up at him. Jada and Brayden smiled as they watched the two romancing each other. The two
