Chapter 72
Romeo
I couldn’t believe this woman any other women would have been upset with the fact that I was planning to see my ex-wife but not Jennifer she took our agreement that was not a contract yet I should add as the begin all and end all and believes in me. I’m trying my best to not let her crawl deeper and deeper in my heart but with everything she does she just breaks of another piece of stone around my heart. “Well Jenn it went as well as it could.” “What does that mean?” “Well, he knows we need to go on with the wedding because it’s in the papers and it was very clear your father worries more about what other people think than the people closest to him.” “I thought you knew that already about him?” she asked surprised. “No darling he has changed a lot since I’ve been away.” “Oh, why did you think he didn’t like me ‘working’ in a bakery?” “I just thought he wanted you to take over his business.” “No Romeo I’m an embarrassment.” “Did he tell you that to your face?” I swear if he did, I will beat the living shit out of him. “He didn’t have to Romeo, I know him.” “I’m sorry darling.” I said as I took her hand in mine. She wiped a tear from her face and then just went on. My heart was breaking for her. “And what else, what about the business?” “He made it clear he wanted a young boy he could train he didn’t like that I still know what is going on in his business he also made it clear he didn’t want me to take over now but one day.” “Then why would he want me to get married if it’s some day?” “To train that boy darling he wanted someone he could train and manipulate and he knows he won’t get that from me. What do you want? Do you want me to take an active role in the business?” “If you have time yes, he wanted someone to take over and for me to get married then he has to bare the consciences.” “I’ll make time darling even if I go over there once a week or ask for certain information to keep you updated on what is going on.” “No Romeo I don’t need to know as long as you keep up to date with what’s going on I’m happy. Where you with him when Elijah called you?” “Yes, Jenn but I didn’t tell him anything in fact I’m expecting a call because I just walked out on him without saying good bye or where I was going.” “Thank you for not telling him Romeo.” “You are my fiancé mine to look after and care for your father has nothing to do with us now Jenn.” “Did he summons us to Sunday lunch?” “No, he did not.” “It will still come.” “We’ll see.”
“Anything else?” “Yes, I want to talk to you about the bakery but if you are too tired to do it now we can talk about it tomorrow.” “No, we can talk Romeo I’m sure you have other things to do tomorrow.” “I want you to take the rest of the week off and relax and just get healthy again.” “But I’m not sick Romeo.” “No but you went through some trauma in a short time please just this week.” “Okay but I’m guessing there is more?” “Indeed, there is I want you to take more of a manager role on at your bakery do the books help customers that kind of thing get bakers in to do the back work and you do the front that way you are not over work and you will get time to look for more premises to extend your business.” “I don’t have the capital to start another bakery shop Romeo.” “I can give it to you.” “Oh no I’m not going to fight with you about this if I open another bakery, it will be with my own money not yours.” “Okay what if we call it a loan?” “With all the necessary paperwork as well?” “Yes, we can get an attorney in to draw up the terms and conditions of the loan and make a payment plan.” “I can live with that, thank you Romeo.” She got up and walked to me and kissed me on the cheek. “Thank you very much.” “Well then darling you have a lot of work to do because I want a premises and an estimate income business plan everything.” “I can’t wait to start on that.”
“Romeo there is something else I think we should talk about.” “Yes?” “A pre-nup we should get an attorney to set one up. I don’t want any of your money when we get divorced.” “I’ll think about it.” “No Romeo I’m serious.” “I agree with the pre-nup Jenn but you do have to get something if we get divorced and that is a big if.” “I thought you said we won’t be married forever?” “Jenn that is something no one could ever say we might grow apart within the first few months or we can grow closer to each other we can’t put an end date on our marriage before it even started.” “I understand I’m just saying you need something to protect yourself.” “Oh, my darling, are you marrying me for my money?” I joked with her. “You do know you also have properties on your name and a business, who says I’m not marrying you for your money?” Jennifer just laughed but a laughed that was out of her belly it was the best sound I’ve heard today. “Sorry to disappoint you Romeo I’m not worth much.” “Not yet just wait and see one day you will be more worth than your dad.” “I doubt that.” “He of little faith.”
“Okay back to serious business. What did my dad say about the wedding itself?” “We didn’t get that far darling.” “Oh” “Tell you what I’ll call him now and find out if we can meet again, I will apologize for walking out on him today.” “Thank you, Romeo you really are, the best and the best for me.” “I’m trying darling I will try my best to be the best man, person, dominant for you.” “I’m counting on that.”
