Chapter 2 Branch Two.

Jessica blinked multiple times. She could not believe she just got married. Under normal circumstances, she was supposed to give her husband a big kiss on his lips.

Looking beside her at the stranger who she just found was Xavier Delgado, she still couldn't believe she was married.

"Would you like to take pictures?" one of the witnesses asked them.

"Yes," Xavier answered collecting the marriage certificate from the judge. "Thank you for today," he said addressing the judge.

"Let's go take our picture," he said standing up and leaving.

Jessica could barely comprehend what was going on but it seemed as if Xavier had come to terms with the fact that he had married a stranger. He seemed comfortable with it.

Jessica goes outside and sees him standing in front of the courthouse holding the certificate. She approached him and stood close to him.

"If we are taking a picture, we better make it believable that we just got married," Xavier said

"You didn't ask me if I am okay with taking a picture" she murmured.

She knew they needed the picture but her broken heart and rash decision stared at her in the face. Did she always need to jump the gun when faced

with things, she can barely handle on her own.

"I need the picture," he said. His voice made sure to pass the aura that the picture-taking was not up for negotiation.

She agreed with him and took the picture after all she approached him to get married. She would as well go ahead with every other thing.

They both barely managed to force a smile in the picture. Jessica could barely smile properly as her broken heart was getting in the way but Xavier was not used to smiling so it was difficult for him as well. The photographer had to take a couple of shots more than usual to be able to capture one where the smiles looked genuine.

A few copies of the other pictures were taken and Xavier gives the email address to collect the soft copies of the picture. He was told that the hard copies would be framed and ready the next week so they could pick it up then.

"Hold on to this" Xavier said giving the certificate to Jessica collected and read it over and over again it did carry her name in full Jessica Penelope Joshua and she was married to Xavier John Delgado.

"Let's go," Xavier said walking toward the parking lot.

"Go where?" Jessica asked catching up to his steps.

"To see my grandfather" Xavier answered. He hated talking a little too much. But since he just got married he knew that she would have a bucket load of questions so he do his best to answer only when she asked.

"Why?" she asked.

"We just got married and I want to introduce you to my grandfather," Xavier said gently. He was already getting too many words out and he was not liking it.

"Ohh" Jessica replied.

Xavier stopped in front of a Mercedes one of the newer models. She did not know much about cars but she could tell that this car was a very expensive one. It looked exotic and expensive.

"Get in," Xavier said.

She then confirmed her suspicions that her new husband was influential and rich. She should be happy that she landed a fine rich young man, but her broken heart could not allow for her jubilation.

Xavier was used to driving in silence but he needed to let her in on some secrets.

"As you heard before my name is Xavier Delgado" Xavier started.

Jessica was retained back to reality by his voice from her chain of thoughts. She turned to face him to take in all that he had to say. Since he needed a wife there must be a backstory.

"My grandfather is sick and in the hospital and he had been hugging me to get married. I was to going to get married to a girl from a wedding agency but she didn't show up so I got married to you."

"I had told my grandfather that we have been dating for a year now and that's why we got married"

"Okay," Jessica responded.

"What do you do?" Xavier asked her when he saw that she responded.

"I'm an assistant chef at L'Verine restaurant" Jessica answered.

Xavier knew the place he had dined there quite several times. He wondered if she had seen him. The thought of her approaching him purposely since she knew that he was rich crossed his mind but he did not bother.

He knew that he would settle her to leave with an amicable divorce after a year. Even if his grandfather was still alive by then it would be easier to convince him of why they decided to divorce.

"But you will tell my grandfather that you are currently studying for Ph.D.," He said

"What do you do?" Jessica asked.

Xavier wondered if she was being truthful or if she was pretending not to know him.

"You don't know me?" Xavier asked. Although he was really a man of few words, he was always curious and made sure to satisfy his curiosity and this made him a good listener to everyone. His curiosity fueled him to ask if she knew him.

"Are you a celebrity?" she asked back. "Even if you were one. I would not know you. I barely have time to make enough money for myself so I barely know anything about my environment" Jessica confessed.

She was horrible when it came to taking note of her surroundings. She could barely tell the difference between celebrities and she fell asleep when she was seeing movies and only listen to old music. She heard a new song when she was on the bus or in a taxi.

"No, I'm not" Xavier answers.

It was the first time he met a girl who did not recognize him. He thought that they all knew him and drooled over his pictures in business and fashion magazines. After all, he was an icon in both worlds.

"I work in Braxton Industries," He said.

"Which of them?" she asked happily.

The only reason she knew Braxton was that she applied to work as an assistant chef in their hotel. She was never given but she went ahead and applied every year while working at L'Verine.

"All of them," Xavier said.

For some weird reason, Xavier's answer made her laugh. Well since the morning she had barely had a good laugh. She had to give it to him for making her laugh.

"What do you mean by all of them?" she asked while cleaning the tear that fell from her laugh.

"I'm the chairman's grandson" Xavier answered nonchalantly.

"What?" Jessica asked her eyes widening beyond its capacity.

"I'm the heir of the Braxton Industries," He said again. He must truly confess he had a huge amount of patience today. He answered all of her questions without getting angry.

"What?" Jessica asked again.

Did she just get legally hooked on a billionaire?"Any other thing I need to know before meeting your grandfather?" Jessica said as they pulled into the parking lot of the hospital.

"He is always tired because of the liver cancer so he can barely talk. Let's just greet him for today and that would be all" He replied.

He hoped that getting to the hospital room would at least get him to stop talking at last.

"Okay then," Jessica said pulling out a small mirror in her bag. She checked her image and practiced smiling. If they were dating she had to make it believable that she was happy being married to a stranger.

Xavier stared at her as she did so. There was something very different about her. She has this aura surrounding her that he could not explain.

"Shall we?" Xavier asked unclasping his seat belt and opening the door. Jessica did the same and they both came down.

"Here is the ring. I hope it fits" Xavier said pulling out two rings from his picket. One has a diamond head crested inside a gold band the other had little diamond stones crested in a gold band as well.

Jessica collected the ring and put it on. She could not believe that she got to wear a diamond ring. The best Burke could have given her would be a stainless band painted gold but yet still her heart yearned for him. The ring fit perfectly like she had gotten her fingers measured for it.

"Stay close," Xavier said.

Xavier sounded cold to Jessica but one could still hear his concern and warmth. She believes that he put up a cold and I-don't-care front to keep people away from him.

It was obvious that that was what he did. Although she was not vested in the recent news and happening there was not a single soul living in Chiachester City who didn't know of the brutal death his parents faced.

Some people even thought they were intentionally killed but the police investigation concluded it was an accident when the other drunk man driving the truck was caught.

The culprit was charged with hit and run and imprisoned for only a year and let go afterward.

Xavier must be putting up the front to protect himself from letting anyone in and then having to lose them.

Here he was about to lose his grandfather who was now the only person he had in his life.

"I was wondering what gook you so long," Dawson said.

He had been expecting his grandson to come since he promised to bring a wife today.

"There was a little issue at the courthouse" Xavier replied.

Dawson had expected Xavier to show up with an excuse as to why he had no wife but to his surprise he was with his wife. He wondered where Xavier had seen a wife. He knew for a fact that he had no girlfriend like he always said.

He only let him get away with it because he knew the struggle of his grandson to accept more people into his life. Here he was a girl accompanying him. He wondered where she came from and if she would turn out to be a good match for his grandson.

He planned to leave him to a good person. He would fall in love later.
