Kiel looked at both sisters with dropped jaws, as he was shot of words, because he never knew that Jesley was Olivia younger sister. His gaze slowly shifted to Jesley, who had tears clouded in her eyes, as she tried as much as possible to keep herself under control. No doubt, she was so confident that Kiel would choose her, and her lips curved into a smile.
Kiel stared at Jesley for a while, as his mind traveled back to the first time he met her at the gym center. How she bravery walked up to him and confused her feelings for him. She wasn’t shy, as she flattered her eyelashes with hope and expectation. Even though he considers her too young to be his girlfriend, yet at the same time, he doesn’t want to break her heart either, by rejecting her proposal.
That very day he accepted, Jesley gave her virginity to him without any hint of fear, and she was ready to do more for him, but on the other hand, Kiel knew himself better. He knew that he doesn’t love her.
His gaze traveled back to Olivia, who was smiling so sweetly at him. He felt his heartbeat rate increases it beats, that he could even hear the sound in his ears. He knew this was the woman he fell in love with at first glance at the club. He could remember vividly how Olivia publicly disgraced him in front of the clue, just because he offered to have a nice time with her years back.
However he became her savor when she drank herself into sober and some bad thugs was trying to sexually assault her. He came just in time and send them away, and that the same they both had a hot streaming sex in her car. That day marked the beginning of their intimate act together.
Jesley moved closer to him and gently held his hand, “Kiel, you don’t have to choose anyone. Because I know you choose me.” She said, planting a soft kiss on the back of his palm.
But to her dismayed, Kiel gently pulled his hand away from her grip, which got Jesley furrowing her eyebrows in confusion , as her eyes instantly began blinked away tears like a rain. Right in front of her, Jesley felt her heart would ripped off the moment he walked pass her and move toward Olivia, who had a victory smirked plastered on her lower lips, as he moved toward him and locked lips with him and they kissed each other passionately right in front of Jesley.
Jesley felt her heart burning like a hot volcano, as her blurred vision stared at the betraying sights in front of her. When her heart couldn’t contained it anymore, she ran away in tears, sulking uncontrollably.
Olivia waited till her sister was out of sight, before she slowly unlocked her lips from Kiel. He quickly looked away as his face melted in concern, something was really bothering him, instantly Olivia was quick to noticed his change of mood, and she place her hand on his shoulder.
“Kiel, what the matter?” She asked softly, staring at his face.
Kiel raised his gaze and tried to looked away but Olivia was quick to held his jaws, as she stable his face to look at her. “Are you worried about Jesley?” She asked again, looking eyes with him.
But Kiel softly shook his head, “Not I’m not worried about her.” He responded, and Olivia sighed out in relieved. “I’m worried about you.” He slowly wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer to leaned on his body, “What will happen to us after you get marry to that proud peacock!” He let out his worried.
Olivia let out a loud laughter, and playfully hitting his chest, “Stop calling my husband to be a proud peacock. Mind up, I’m doing this for us. I’m only getting married to him because of his money and revenge. He will pay dearly for all the humiliation he has caused me and I’m going to steal all his money and render him so broke that he will beg on the street for aims.” Olivia smiled out dangerous, as she played with Kiel shirt collar.
“I’m solidly behind you. Whenever you need my help I will be here for you, baby.” Kiel assured, touching her chin softly.
“You should go now, I don’t want my father to meet you here.” She told him and he nodded in understanding and walked away, promising to see her later in the day.
Olivia breathe out excitedly and began to hum a song while she ran upstairs, to make preparations for her coming engagement party.

Natalie got into her mother’s small apartment, with Kate trailing behind her, as they both slumped down tiredly on the only one sofa in the room.
Natalie veered around toward Kate and notice she was lost in thoughts. She has been noticing it that ever since they left Elvis company, Kate hasn’t been herself and she was constantly lost in thoughts.
“Kate, is anything the matter?” She asked softly but Kate never uttered a single words, which made Natalie quickly assumed that she was still lost in thoughts again. “Kate!!!” She screamed, tapping her on her shoulder, calling out her name.
“Nat, what’s the problem.” She was startled by Natalie’s scream.
Natalie raise her hand and gave Kate a small knock on her head, ” Ouch!” Kate moaned out in fake pain, sending Natalie a glared, who rolled her eyes.
“I have been calling you for two minutes now but you are lost in thoughts.” Natalie pointed out her reasons for knocking her.
Kate softly sighed, “I have been thinking about what happened at Elvis’s office few hours ago… I can’t just get it off my mind.” She explained her reasons for her absence minded.
“Which part exactly.” Natalie inquired, feeling less bothered about the whole thing.
Kate turned and face Natalie, and her eyes brows furrowed in confusion. Wondering why Natalie wasn’t bothered or tensed about the whole thing. Because if she was in Natalie’s place, she would’ve gone mad already regarding everything happening at once.
“Javier wants to marry you, Natalie.” Kate pointed out her worries, as her heart pang with jealousy.
Natalie scoffed loudly, “And I rejected his proposal at once.” She rolled her eyes afterwards.
Kate let out a dry chuckle, “Can you hear yourself? He took your job away from you. Now he’s involving your mother in this.” She yelled at Natalie’s face.
“What are you implying, Kate?” Natalie asked.. not understanding where Kate was driving at.
“Marry him, Natalie. Stop being stubborn.” Kate blunted.
Natalie speedily stood up to her feet like the sofa she was sitting on was burning her ass. Her eyes widened in shock, followed by her dropped jaws. She couldn’t believe what was coming out of Kate mouths.
Even Kate herself was surprised at her own suggestion. She couldn’t believe she was advising Natalie to accept the proposal she was clearly jealous off.
“Do you know the price I will pay after I marry him?” Natalie asked as tears clouded her eyes. “You and I know I don’t joke with my self respect, one bit. Javier is about to temper with that and you want me to let him? He can eat the job for all I don’t care… but I won’t tolerate him involving my mother in this, that was why I slapped him so hard to reset his brain.” She said not feeling any remorse of her action.
Kate sighed softly, she knew dragging this issue with Natalie is pointless. Because she knew how stubborn Natalie can be, and she doesn’t give up easily no matter how helpless she become. “So what’s your next plan on this.” Kate asked.
Natalie raised her head, placing her hand under her jaws as she rackon her head for solution. Suddenly her lips stretched into a smile, “Javier can take away my job because of his connections but he can’t take away my talent.” She muttered with a smile.
“What do you mean.”
“My art, my identity.” She disclosed, still smiling, “I have so many beautiful painting designs I made in my room. I can sell them all out and make a living from there.” She giggled excitedly, as she’s going to resume with what makes her happy.
Kate rolled her eyes, “I thought you stopped your art work for almost two years now. Why going back to it.” Kate asked.
“Because I’ve realized that is the only thing Javier can’t take away from me. Because it’s lived in me.” Natalie smirked, as she knew she will be able to defeat Javier this time around.
Suddenly Kate phone rang out loudly, and it was her mother calling. She answer the phone for twenty minutes and turned to Natalie after she has ended the call with her mother. “My mother needs me at home. I will see you tomorrow.” Kate waved her goodbye and exit her apartment.
After an hour, Kate got to her Mother’s apartment and entered into the building. When she walked in she met no one in the sitting area, so she proceeded to the kitchen because she knew that was the only place she would find her mother.
“Mummy I’m back.” Kate informed, pulling out a dinning seat and sat down.
Caro turned to Kate and flash her a smile, “How is work?” She asked as she turned around to continue with the vegetable that she was cutting before Kate stepped in.
Kate sighed and shook her head, “A lot happened today Mum.” She muttered, and stood up striding toward the refrigerator and grabbed a cold water from it and gulped it down her throat at one goal.
“What happened.” Caro asked, instantly stopping what she was doing and paid more attention to Kate.
Kate began to narrate everything to her Mother in detailed front the beginning to the end as she missed no single words in her narration.
While Caro listened attentively with her eyes widened in shock, and her jaw dropped. “You mean Javier propose to her? Why?” She asked in annoyance, because has never like Natalie one bit.
“He never stated his reason for his proposal before Natalie bluntly rejected it.”
“Such a proud bitch!” Caro muttered as her face scrunched up in disgust. “She might change her mind later, if Javier mount more pressure on her which is why you have to act fast.” She suggested.
“I don’t understand.” Kate knitted her eyebrows in confusion.
“You have to inform Olivia about Javier’s plan of getting a fake bride.” Caro whispered.
“What?” Kate exclaimed in dismayed.
