All Chapters of A 14-day Marriage Contract : Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

JACQUELINE Monday Evening Day of the First Opening.“Lastly and most importantly, I’ll like to say a very big thank you to my husband, my business partner and my helper. Jonathan Bennett” I said locking gaze with Jonathan. His lips stretched into a small smile clearly taken aback. The last time we had this conversation, I didn’t seem like I was going to acknowledge him. But then again, I wasn’t about to give his parents reasons to doubt our marriage and make this more difficult for him. Hence my decision to do this and also my decision to let the wedding his father proposed happen. I wasn’t thinking about Donald anymore, I’ll do everything to make sure my business with Donald doesn’t escalate. But I wasn’t about to walk away from someone I feel so deeply about because of mistakes I made in the past. Mistakes I plan to actually tell Jonathan all about very soon. Atleast if Jonathan knows the truth, it’ll get Donald off my back. But Jonathan didn’t seem to be taken completely aback

JACQUELINE 10:00am “You have a beautiful place,” Harper, Damon’s wife said to me as I walked them in and towards my office.“Thank you, I’m glad you like it” I responded with a smile as we got into the elevator.“I appreciate you coming all the way from your city, it’s almost like you were waiting for me to launch,” I said with a small nervous chuckle and they laughed with me.“You’re Jonathan Bennett’s wife, it’s certain that we could trust you,” Damon said, I raised my brows slightly tilting my head to the side with a small nod.

That’s just how the society is, I’m not complaining though. “Thank you,” I whispered as we walked out of the elevator and towards my office. “So we’d like for you to plan our fifth year wedding anniversary,” Damon said as we settled into my office.“We’ve come a very long way, and we want this party to be very befitting, to celebrate every battle we’ve h

JACQUELINE Later … “I got fired” Manuel said to as he pulled the door to my car open and got in beside me. I had to wait in my car for a few minutes while he spoke to his mother before he joined me.“What?!” I jerked forward turning to face him.“You what?!!! When?! How why?!” I asked all at once. “It was either I go to ocean depths or I get fired!” He responded.“Ocean depths? Why so suddenly?!” I asked him.“I have no idea too, my boss never really liked me, so I’m not surprised,”“I’ll keep an eye on Donald, but as per my mother’s testimony, I think I want to look into The Bennetts” he said. I exhaled deeply as I leaned back into my chair. “Is your husband aware about me? Is he aware that I exist?!” He asked me. I exhaled again and shook my head slowly. “Ofcourse he knows about the kidnap, he knows you exist but he’s not aware I’m in contact with you, Donald is my past and I really don’t want him to know about him,” I said and he nodded slowly. “I understand,” he muttered.
