“Ill break some of her bones too”
___
As Candy stepped forward, Venessa’s eyes widened like that of the moon. The look on Candy’s face shows she was really going to do it. Even her father couldn’t help in this situation.
Venessa did the best thing she could think of.
“Stop Candy” She went on her knee, her eyes tearing up. “Don’t kill me!”
Candy stopped her track and frowned. What is Venessa doing? She didn’t mind this and still step forward.
This time, Mr. Henry stood before Candy, stopping her again.
“Will you like to join her?” She asked coldly.
“She said sorry” Mr. Henry said.
“No she didn’t” Candy raised her brow. Mr. Henry swallowed then cast a glance over Diego standing from a distance. The man has a blank look on his face with both of his hands casually tucked into his pocket.
“You need to stop her” He said to Diego.
“You should have stop your daughter from saying Sh|ts about my wife. Should I handle her myself?” Diego asked. Mr. Henry immediately knew there was no way out.
“Move you’re wasting my time” Candy warned.
Venessa took in a large breath.
“I’m sorry!” Her voice sounded from behind. They all turn their gaze to her.
‘Fuçk she apologized!’ Candy grunt inwardly. She badly wish Venessa didn’t, so as to teach her a lesson she’ll never forget but seeing the lady swallowing that her so called pride made her anger faded away.
“See? She apologized” Mr. Henry said.
Candy scoffed. “Don’t cross path with me ever again” she said, turning to leave the restaurant.
Mr. Henry faced Diego.
“I will never forget how you disrespect me Diego. Your father is sure going to be…”
“Shh” Diego shut him up calmly. “You’re getting on my nerve”
“How could you have forgotten that I’m your father’s childhood friends and that have contribute a lot to the Gonzalez company. Marrying my daughter can’t be so hard, instead you went ahead to marry that…”
“Hey” Diego growled. “You’re getting on my Fuçking nerves” he warned again. This time his voice was cold dripping with deadly aura. His gaze was cold and dark. Mr. Henry knew best to shut up.
Diego slowly turn his back and left the restaurant too.
“You’ll regret this Diego. You and that little witch” Mr. Henry grip tighten.

“Candy” Diego called for the woman walking fast away from him in a fast pace.
“Candy” He called again. He took three long strides and caught up to her. Turning her around to face him, she immediately dropped her hand forcefully.
“Stop following me” She said coldly, Diego saw the tears in her eyes and he h@tëd it.
“You’re crying” He stated softly.
“Why are you worried about me? I told you not to act nice.. it suck” Her voice croaked, as the lock gaze. She was angry, he knew that. Seeing her tears, he wanted to go back and teach Venessa and her father another lesson. But he manage to suppress that urge.
Without a word, he lifted his hand to her face, slowly wiping her tears using his thumb.
Candy felt her heart fluttering at his gentle touch and stares. He was at it again, driving her mind crazy. Is he pretending again?
“I h@të your tears” He muttered softly, causing her heart to skip a beat.
Lifting her hand up, Candy move his hands away.
“You h@të my tears but had once caused it” She mumbled. “Don’t worry about me”
Pulling out her phone, she called Yazmine who was very close. Diego didn’t stop her. Like Jameson had told him to.
Yazmine appeared at the scene and greeted Diego. He told Yazmine to take care of her and watch them leave.
“Just a little bit more time” Diego muttered.
___
“Did he hurt you again?” Yazmine asked lightly as she drives them to her apartment.
“Not him. I just feel like I don’t know what I’m doing” Candy mumbled. “I’m just ignoring the past and thinking everything is alright but it’s not”
“Hey, you shouldn’t think that way Candy. No one is alright, but we are trying to be… That’s just human, we all have our pain but it’s a choice for you not to let it control you” Yazmine stated, and Candy sighed.
“By the way, what happened back there?” Yazmine asked after a while of silence.
As Candy explained what happened, Yazmine halted the car immediately.
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me sooner I could have gone back to the restaurant and shove her face in the d@mn toilet. How dare she say that!” Yazmine growled.
“It’s fine, she apologized already. I just feel like she..”
“Don’t complete that sentence Candy. Are you still blaming yourself about him? It was not your fault. He deserves the Sh|t that came up right to him. And don’t worry, I believe we’ll have little ones running around you later on. You just have to believe and keep pushing” Yazmine’s word relieved Candy a little.
After Candy fell asleep in the room, Yazmine couldn’t. Her thought was occupied with Aiden.
“Is he alright?” She muttered, then decided to try calling him but he didn’t answer.
“Gosh, I’m so anxious” Yazmine mumbled. Sparing Candy a glance, she stood up from the bed.
___
Yazmine eyes dart around the cold, dark street. She was dressed in a black shirt and trouser, comfortable enough to defend herself if something happens.
Getting to the apartment, she sighed. Deeply, she knew Aiden was the anonymous guy but still choose to play dumb.
Knocking on the door lightly, she heard no reply. She tried the same thing again, still no reply. Maybe he is not home.
She checked the time and saw it was 9:30. It was getting dark already, what was she thinking coming over here?
“Yazmine?” His familiar voice sounded from a distance. Turning her head to the direction, she saw Aiden walking towards her. The way he called her name, made her swallowed.
“What are you doing here?” He asked lightly. His eyes were a bit red which shows, his lack of sleep.
“I came to check on you. You aren’t picking my calls or messages” She said.
“I left my phone inside while rushing to the hospital. Sorry. Let’s go inside” He said, stepping to open the door.
“Oh, there’s no need”
“It’ll be raining soon” Aiden spoke and the sky roared after his word. “See?”
“Uhm..” She tried to speak but the man opened the door and stepped in leaving the door open for her. Yazmine stepped into the comfortable well furnished apartment. It exuded a calm and nice aura.
“Nice apartment” She complimented.
“Thanks” Aiden said preparing some juice fro her.
“Aren’t you going to ask how I got to find out about the place you live?” She asked.
“There’s no need to pretend. I know you knew already” He said, handing a glass of juice to her as she sit on the couch. The rain started already.
“How’s your sister? Was it serious?” Yazmine asked.
“She is getting better. The burn was only on her shoulder, it’s going to leave a little scar”
“How did she get trapped?”
“It was ex.. she rejected him when he asked her back so he decided to revenge. He’s at the police custody though I wish to deal with him myself. If I was around then this wouldn’t have happened” Aiden replied, clinching his jaw.
Yazmine felt sad about the news. Aiden must be blaming himself, so she decided to change the topic.
“So where is your guitar?” She asked and Aiden chuckled.
“I’ve almost forgotten you know literally 70% about me” Aiden said, gazing at her. They both smiled.
“Well thanks for the company. I’ve finally gotten to know who you are” She muttered.
“Are you disappointed?” He asked, his voice calm and smooth.
“Disappointed? Of course not. Why would you think that way?” She asked.
“Well, remember the girl I told you I like at work”
Yazmine smile dropped when she heard this. Staring at her for a while, he spoke again.
“Nevermind” He sighed. “You should spend the night here. There are three clean rooms”
“Oh no, I’m leaving”
“It’s late out there Yazmine. You don’t want to get into the hands of those kidnappers out there”
Yazmine blinked severally and face him again. “How come you’re living in such a dangerous place?”
“I like it that way. Just stay, you shouldn’t be scared”
“I’m not scared”
“Hmm, Goodnight” He said, laying in the couch, then close his eyes.
Yazmine bit down her lips. This guy is really something else.

On the next day, the video of the restaurant scene went viral leaving neitezens speechless. Candy’s behavior and Venessa’s words made them think hard.
President Diego’s hidden bride, could it be Candy Jefferson….
No way, I thought Mr. President got married to a commoner…
Come to think of it, is that why their company decided to merge?…
This crazy but what about Venessa’s statement? She called her infertile and that she killed her ex…
The commenter above should mind the way he speak.. you might get into trouble!…
This is driving me insane…
Venessa have no right to call her that, it’s completely rude of her. I would have done the same if I were Candy or maybe even more…
Even the president supported her. I’ve watched the video a hundred times. It’s just so satisfying, haha…
Fuçk Candy or wh@tëver she is. She has no right to hit Venessa that way!…
The commenter above need to take chill pills. What will you do if you were called a barren woman!….
Commenters popped up like never before. Neitezens tackle on each other. Some of them began to dig out information.. mostly pictures on Diego and Candy. One of them was a picture at the business function..
They wore the same rings!
Another was the incident was when Diego saved Candy out of the pool. Their pics together began to trend. A page was even created earning so many followers.
This is so cute, why did they hide it though. They look so good together…
___
Hannah scoffed seeing the pictures and comment. None of them is going her favour and that was because Venessa pushing it too hard and not being able to defend herself.
“I’m so sorry but she was too strong for me to handle. I didn’t know she was..”
“Quiet and let me think” Hannah pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. Her plan is ruin as people kept supporting Candy.
Her phone rang as Old Mavis name flashed on her screen. Sighing, she answered the call.
“What in the world do you think you are doing? How could you have let Venessa spit it out. I thought I told you to let it be a secret!”
“Father I…”
“Don’t call me father. Are you back with your old act? Just leave Candy alone while I try to convince Diego, understood?”
“Yes” She answered and the call ended.
Venessa took a deep breath, she had hear everything.
“See what you’ve done” Hannah clinched her jaw.
“You said I should enrage her. I tried but it wasn’t working that was why I said that” Venessa defended.
“Find good reporters to clean up your mess. Don’t dare mention my name”
Vennesa scoffed and stood up in anger. “Wh@tëver” she muttered and marched out of the room.
Vincent, Hannah’s husband walked in at that moment. Hannah eyes flickered with hatred.
“What the hell are you doing here?” She asked, her voice cold.
“I need to talk to you Hannah” The middle aged man said. He was a broken man mostly ignored in the family especially his wife.
“Get out. Your sight alone makes me wanna puke”
“When are you going to stop being like this Hannah? Yeah, I made a mistake in the past but you shouldn’t hold grudges with me for this long!” The man’s eyes teared up. “Can’t we just start all over, it’s been nine Fuçking years!”
“Yes! And that was when I watch my son getting handcuffed by the d@mn police! You couldn’t do anything Vincient”
Hannah stood and stepped towards him. “What happened to your domineering spirit? Your younger brother, Diego’s father, won the company over you and the same thing happened with the children”
She stopped when she was close enough. “Do you really want us to started over? Then bring back my son!” She yelled, then push him away storming out of the the office..
Vincient clinched his jaw hard…
___
“Okay, this is crazy” Candy took in a shaky breath as she stared at the comments and news online.
“Gawd I’m not ready for this” She mumbled. Getting to the company, she sweep her backward, nervously before stepping in.
Her face dropped seeing many employees in a groups staring at their cellphone. Her breath halt when they all turn their gaze to her at once.
“Mrs. Gonzalez!!” They all exclaimed in unison.
“Oh gawd” She mumbled as the rushed towards her.
“Are you really married to Mr. President?”
“Oh my Gawd, I thought as much”
“I’m glad you’re the one for him. You’re perfect”
“We’re here for you”
“Please Mrs. President tell us something”
Candy smiled awkwardly, as the employees questioned her endlessly. She was getting getting choked by this.
Someone cleared his throat behind them. The employees slowly turn their gaze just to see Diego with an heavy look. None of them knew when he got there.
The employees panick and bow their head. Diego ignored them and walked to stand before Candy.
“Good morning Mr..”
“Hubby” He cut in. “There’s no need for you to hide it anymore” he said so gently. Candy was lost staring at his handsome face..
“I’m not ready for this” She whispered so low.
“Why not? I want to let the whole world know you’re my woman”
Candy’s heart skipped a beat hearing this. How come he’s so good at making her speechless?
“But…” She tried to speak but the man held her hand gently, he pulled her close and…
He smiled…
A smile she had never seen before. It wasn’t the dark he normally have. It was genuine and beautiful, she fell into a trance and the world seems to slow around her.
Did he just smiled? She asked herself inwardly but his voice snapped her back to reality.
“Hello everyone” He turn his gaze to the employees with a curious look.
Candy eyes widened knowing what he was about to say and before she could stop him he spilled it out.
“This is my wife Candy. Stress her out and you’ll get fired”
