Chapter 182

"Son, do you mean you have someone you are in a relationship with?" Maria asked

"yes Mum we are in love," he said with no emotions on his face

Grace and Jane looked at each other, Grace was trying to ask her if she knew what he was talking about and she nodded her head saying no, she had no idea what he was doing, she felt her heart racing in her chest, she wondered who he was talking about

Is the person her, the thought of the person being her excites and scares her, madam Maria will go crazy if she finds out that both of them are seeing each other if that's even what they've been doing

But then she thought again if the person was not her she wouldn't even know what she would do she would just pass out or something, she is not sure if she could handle such heartbreak

She just stood there, Angel was there almost choking on her food, she couldn't believe that Christopher just said that in front of everyone, that he had someone he was seeing already how could he say such a thing

She had always thought that he was just angry with her because of what happened the other time and that he would come around but here he was saying this nonsense

She refused to believe he was no longer in love with her, Chris used to love her so much that he could give his life for her but now he doesn't want to see her

She needs to talk to her father about this, they need to find the girl and take her out of the way, they are so close to getting what they want already there's no way they are allowing something or someone to stand in their way

She especially there was no way she was allowing someone else to get married to Chris, he belonged to her and she would make sure that stayed that way

Right now she doesn't care about the company or whatever, she is now in love with Chris and no one else, he's a more real man than Carlos, she was so stupid to allow her dad to use her back then, after all, if she gets married to Chris she gets to become his wife and practically also owns everything that he owns

She ate her food in anger as she used her eyes to scan Jane to see if she had any reaction to this, if she's excited she would take it as she was the one he was talking about but if she didn't then that meant he had just used and dumped her

She looked at her and she didn't seem happy meant that she wasn't the one

Chris on the other hand was worried about Jane concerning what he had said, he looked her way a few times and she looked down

She must feel that he was talking about someone else, he had never told her that she loved her but he was sure that he did and he knew that she felt the same way

But the thing is he's not even ready to tell her yet, he can't start his happy life until he does what he's supposed to so he can be free from this shackle of guilt, he also wants to see his children

' fuck he really shouldn't have said that ' he thought in his head

He took his hand under the table and held her hand, he could tell where her hand was because she was standing right beside him, he used his fingers to gently stroke her hand so she would calm down he didn't like seeing her that way

Jane could feel someone touching her hand, she looked at Chris cause she knew that he was the one, she looked at his face but then he concentrated on his food pretending as if he was doing nothing

Jane felt a bit peaceful with what he was doing, she felt like he was trying to pass a message to her or something

She looked at his face and their eyes met, he winked at her and then concentrated on his food

Jane almost wanted to laugh but she didn't say anything, she couldn't even make a sound if not everyone knew what was going on right now

After dinner, Jane helped with clearing out the dishes from the table while everyone returned to their rooms

Chris made his way upstairs, seeing that he was leaving already Grace followed after him

"Thelma take care of the children," she said and disappeared after her brother

Chris made his way to his room and Grace came right in after him

"hey you there," she said

"Grace, what do you want? Can't I just have a rest?" Chris said he was only trying to tell her off cause he knew what she was trying to do she just wanted to gossip

"Can't I just want to come to see how my brother is doing after all you are my first love right?" she said as she hugged her brother from behind

"Christopher" she called him, and her tone was very serious she only calls him that when she wants to say something serious

"is it Jane that you love?" she asked

"yes she's the one" he replied to her after thinking it through for a while he wanted to deny it but he couldn't even bring himself to deny it, he wants to tell the whole world that he was in love with her, damn he's in love with her

"Don't hurt her Christopher she has gone through so much already and she can't take any more kinds of blow you have to be careful with her, she's my friend and like a sister and I can't afford for anything or anyone to hurt her not even you," Grace said

"I promise I won't hurt her" Chris assured her
