Chapter 43: Chapter 43

DANTE   P. O. V

I don't think Lucas will do such a thing, there is something wrong somewhere and I'm going to find out what is it.

Nothing is wrong Dante, he has already made up his mind, he knows what he is doing. All of this, is her fault .

What do you mean Jess.

I mean your so call friend Kate.

What has she done?

I can't tell you Dante, i promise Elle i will not tell you anything because you are Lucas's friend. But i can't anymore.

Calm down and tell me everything she told you Jess.

OK, Elle told me that Kate mission here is to get married to Lucas and get his wealth. She create a whole lot of confusion between Elle and Lucas, she beat the kids and pretend she is not the one. So Lucas also blame Elle that she does not like Kate that why she always blame her.

She is now looking for a way to sack Elle and the kids from the house that why she beat the kids and pretend she did nothing. Right now i don't know what will happen to Elle and the kids when she marry Lucas.

"Wait you know all this and you did not tell me anything Jess.

But i told you...

"No! What you told me was, Elle and Kate got in to a fight.

I'm sorry Dante, she told me not to tell anyone especially you because you and Lucas are her childhood friend so you will not believe her. And she is not ready to create commotion among long time friends.

What she did was right but also wrong, this matter is very serious Jess.

If she would have told you will you believe her Dante huh.

She has gone through a lot in that's house, I'm even surprise she is still in that house. If I'm the one have packed and leave long time.

That why you are called Jessica and she is called Elle sweetheart. You two are different people i said and smile at her.

I know, but i feel for her.

I can't believe it, how could Kate do such a thing to Elle and the kids. So all this while she was just pretending to get to Lucas, she planned everything very well. "Oh my God Lucas is in a big shit, she is going to marry him because of his money no Love.

She is really a gold digger, she has really changed a lot too. The Kate a know years back is no more, she was innocent, caring and loving. Right now I'm feeling bad for Elle and the kids, so Jess are we just going to sit down here like that not doing anything to help Lucas.

What do you want us to do? The problem now is, will he believe us when we tell him the truth huh, Dante he will not believe us. The damaged is already been done, they are set to get married in two weeks time.

But we got to try something Jess.

OK, what do you suggests we do now Dante.

OK, i will go to his office tomorrow morning and explained everything to him and see what will happen next.

OK, that not bad, i bets if he will believe you.

I hope he listen to me, Jess, Elle and the kids need you. So do everything to help them OK.

I will dear, let go to bed it already late.

LUCAS    P. O. V

I was in my office signing some papers when i heard a knock on my door, it might be Kate. "Yes! come in Kate, the door open and there stood Elle.

"Err....can i come in.

"Yeah sure come in, i thought it was Kate, so what can i do for you Elle. I hope the kids are alright.

"Yeah! they are fine, I'm here to tell you something.

"Oh ok , go on I'm listening.

Is about you and Kate wedding.

What wrong with me and Kate's wedding.

"Umm..... i know what I'm about to tell you, you will not believe me but i have to tell you the truth. Look, Kate is not who you think she is. She want to marry you because of your money, all this while she is just pretender to be a nice person to get to you.

And, how did you know that Elle.

She told me everything herself, she planned everything from the start. Her mission here is to get all your wealth Lucas, she does not love you.

"Why do you hate her so much Elle, what has she done to you huh. I know Kate since we were kids, we went to the same middle school and to high school. She was a sweet girl to be with, always smiling.

Then this Kate is different Lucas, she is no more the sweet girl she was at first. Open your eyes Lucas, please believe what I'm saying to you.

"Why should i  believe you huh.

"Lucas!!

"Enough!! Elle, i don't see any sense in what you are saying, you are already blind in hatred for her.

Lucas please listen to me, I'm begging you please don't marry her.

"Wait! are you jealous of her or are you jealous that I'm getting married to her.

Over my dead body, I'm not jealous of her one bit. There is nothing i see in her to make me jealous of her, "no!! way, and also I'm not jealous of her because you are getting married to her. I know When the right man comes i will also get married to him.

Why is she saying that to my face, fuck you Elle, i said it in my mind. Are you saying it to make me jealous Elle.

"Oh who started this jealous whole thing huh Lucas.

Good then leave her alone.

OK fine believe whatever you want, but don't say i did not warn you.

Thanks but i will not take your  advice i said.

OK then i will take my leave.

She said and walk out leaving me in the office, i don't know  what her problem is.

"Hi babe!

I look up to where the voice was coming from, it Kate. Hey babe i said.

Are you done with your work.

Yeah I'm done let go to bed i said.
