Chapter Twenty Six

DIANA

I am so excited about this dinner at the presidential house. I mean Leo's mother has accepted me now and am no longer a gold digging bitch, sometimes I think it's because I've gotten famous and all that, but I know she came to like me when she found Jenna having s*x with not just one man but two men at the same time and when she (Leo's mum) confronted her, she (Jenna) told her to go to hell that she couldn't keep her hopes up on a man who doesn't like her and I know the kind of shock she must have passed through, she almost became depressed thinking about the type of girl she wanted for her son and when she looked at me who stayed even when her son cheated she became sober and apologized and who am I not to forgive, I forgave her because she's like a mother to me.

Well, Jeanne and I also became close when I advised her about a boy. I remembered how I saw her crying in her room and the door was half open, so I walked in and asked what was wrong and, as usual, she insulted me and told me to get out of her room, but I didn't leave because I could see the pain in her eyes and after some persuasion she finally opened up to me that she liked a guy and the said guy have a girlfriend. She asked me what to do, and I gave her my best advice, which she took and acted on it, she came back the next day and boy was I surprised when she hugged me telling me I was the best sister-in-law ever. Guess my advice worked out for her.

"What are you smiling at?" Leonard asked, poking my side.

"Just thinking." I replied, still smiling.

"Alright love, here we are." he parked in the garage and stepped out, then walked to my side quickly to open the door.

"Such a gentleman." I teased, and he smiled.

"This gentleman wants a kiss." I pecked his lips and walked away.

"Hey I said a kiss not a peck." he yelled, rushing after me. When he got to me, we were already at the doorstep, but Leonard didn't mind, he cupped my face with his big hands and kissed me, not those slow ones, but a passion filled one.

"That's enough, time out people." we pulled apart and turned to the door to see Jeanne standing there making a barfing face and I chuckled.

"Nice to meet you too, jean." I said, and she squealed before jumping on me.

"Seems someone missed me." I hugged her back.

"I've missed you, Ana." she whispered.

"Me too."

"Jeanne, would you let your brother and his wife in?" Mrs. Nicole yelled, making Jeanne pulled from the hug. It's so nice to have a sister.

"Sorry, come in." she cleared her throat.

"Now you don't have a brother again." Leonard said with a jealousy tone and a pout, walking in and Jeanne gasped, running after him. Drama king.

"Diana, you are looking more beautiful every day." Mrs. Nicole said, and I blushed.

"Thanks m…mum." I still find it hard to call her that.

She smiled with a hint of understanding "Come let's join the others." she held my hand taking me to the big dining room and no matter how many times I've been here I always admire the place. As soon as we got there, I was surprised to see….

"Harmony." I literally yelled, and she stood up in fright with a nervous smile.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, feigning a frown, I mean I know these two would get together but not this soon.

"Hi Ana." she waved, smiling sheepishly.

"You haven't answered my question."

"Sorry everyone if am late, but please take your seats." Mr. Louis said, walking in, guess he's just coming back from the office. I walked to grandpa and hugged him before sitting down next to him.

"Diana, what are you doing?" a certain jealous husband asked.

"Nothing." I know what he's implying on, but I won't answer him.

"Why are you sitting far from me." he pouted, but before I could say anything, Liam chipped in.

"Oh come on Leo stop behaving like a baby, your wife is in the same room with you." he said rolling his eyes and everyone laughed.

"Alright time to eat." the maids served us and I asked for a glass or maybe two of lime juice, it had become my favorite drink.

•••••••••

"That was delicious." I said, cleaning my mouth.

"Ewww, That was just lime juice Diana and it's gross, not delicious, how can you take that." Jeanne said, and I frowned before looking at Leo.

"Leo, baby Jeanne is making fun of me." I whined like a child and everyone laughed again.

"What the hell! Leo baby." Liam asked between laughter.

"See, they are all teasing me, everyone is teasing me." a tear rolled down my eyes. Okay, Why am I crying.

"Cut it out guys, stop laughing at my wife." Leonard half yelled and everyone kept quiet.

"Happy." he asked with a smile and I nodded.

"Who would ever think Leonard will be this whipped with his wife." dad said, smiling and everyone also smiled. Liam cleared his throat loudly, "okay guys I have an announcement to make" he said and everyone's attention was on him, he stood up and held Harmony's hand.

"Mum, dad, grandpa this is my harmony, and we are getting married very soon." he dropped the bombshell and I gasped. WTF! Marriage, how, when?

"Congratulations bro." Jeanne stood up beaming widely and hugged Liam and Harmony, "congratulations sis and welcome to the family." Harmony whispered a thank you.

"Congratulations, son." Mum and dad hugged them, everyone was happy, but I was still shocked. I thought I was Harmony's best friend, so why didn't she tell me.

"And we also need to say something." Liam said and looked at harmony who nodded her head.

"We are pregnant." they said in synchronization and I gasped again. Mum was so happy about being a grandma that she cried same thing with grandpa, when all these celebrations are over, I'm having a word with harmony.

And while in thoughts I heard everyone gasps, so I looked up.

"What's wrong?, are you alright Mony." I asked, but she pointed at my back, so I followed her direction and gasped for the third time tonight when I saw Leonard on his knees.

"Leo, What are you doing?" I asked which was quite dumb because any man on his knees is about to propose right, wait a minute PROPOSE.

"Diana I've done a lot of bad things in the past, I've cheated on your countless times, I've degraded you and make you feel worthless, but I want to set that right by ending our arranged marriage, I don't want you to be known as MR CELEBRITY'S HIDDEN WIFE anymore, but I want the whole world to know that am married to the most amazing woman in the world, a pure soul, so I'm making it right by making us married in a better way. Diana Jackson, will you do me the honor of marrying me again." he said and stared at me with hopeful eyes, I nodded my head because I was too shock to say anything, and I was a crying mess. He beamed and slide the ring on my finger after taking the old one off and kissed it, he stood up and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you, Diana, I love you." I froze for sometime when I heard that, but gain my composure.

"I love you too." we pulled apart and kissed. Everyone clapped and congratulated us, so far, today is the best day of my life.
