Chapter 22

Jason Stokes:

One week later…

I was in the closet, dressing up for our birthday party that was going to start in a few hours when Lexi walked inside the closet with a long, sleeveless, golden gown. She was extremely stunning.

She smiled at me while making eye contact with me and I couldn't help smiling back.

"I'm proud of you as my husband" she said while adjusting my tie and I smiled wider After adjusting my tie, she got hold of my wrist and put a bracelet around it "What is this for?" I asked while examining the golden bracelet on my wrist "You and Casper are going out in exactly the same suit tonight with the same wedding ring, I don't want to go to bed with another man."

"Hmmmm."

She smiled. "You're too handsome."

"And you're too beautiful."

I put my hands on the sides of her head and slowly kissed her. She moved closer to me, but I stopped her before our kissing could lead to something else.

"They are waiting for us," I said.

"Oh…okay" she said while faking hurt.

We walked out of the room and met Casper, Carmella, Lexi Ryan and Carolyn in the sitting room.

Angelica joined us and handed Maxwell to Lexi. She bowed slightly in front of me, wished us well and walked out of the room.

I sighed heavily and said, "Are we all set?"

"Yes" they all replied "Okay, let's go"

We took the elevator and landed at the garage where Tanner was waiting for us I handed Casper my Lamborghini Veneno car key before hugging him "Welcome back home brother"

"Thank you for accepting me"

We separated and I walked to where Lexi was standing with Maxwell in her hand. I hugged her and she whispered into my ear "Thank you for giving him a second chance"

I patted her slightly on her back and released her. She walked to the Lamborghini and Casper opened the car door for her.

Tonight, the plan was for Casper to impersonate me. After making sure that Lexi and Maxwell sat comfortably in the car, Casper closed the door, turned around and looked at me. I gave him a nod and he looked at Carmella, who was carrying their two-year-old Carolyn. He walked toward her and hugged her tightly "I love you Carmmy," he said to her.

"I love you too."

He released her and walked toward Lexi Ryan, the girl who almost ruined my life. I despised her personally, but I didn't know what to do about her since she was Casper's best friend.

She blew the chewing gum that she had been chewing for hours as she wrapped her hands around Casper.

Only God knows what Casper sees in her. I thought.

They both murmured something into each other's ears before releasing each other.

I watched as Casper walked toward the Lamborghini, opened it door and drove away.

"Tanner" I called once they were gone "Sir" he replied I threw my Bugetti Veyron car key to him and said "let's go"

Casper Hart:

I sighed heavily. I was trying to calm myself down since I wasn't born into the life of cameras and paparazzi that were waiting for me outside the car.

"Everything is going to be okay" Jason's wife said and I cocked my head to look at her.

She was extremely beautiful, but she wasn't my type.

"Thank you," I said to her. "Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

I got out of the car and welcomed myself to the paparazzi blinding flashlights.

"Mr. Stokes! Mr. Stokes!" They started screaming as I walked around the car and opened the car door for Jason's wife and son. Lexi smiled at me lovingly as she stepped out of the car with Maxwell in her hand.

"Thank you," she said.

I smiled back at her before facing the paparazzi who were hungry for our pictures.

"Mr. Stokes, what can you say about the video that has been surfacing on the internet for the past few weeks?" a man asked.

I ignored him and another guy asked "Mr. Stokes, why did you decide to celebrate your birthday this year since you hate celebrating birthdays?"

"Because…I've found my missing half," I said and smiled at Lexi who smiled back at me.

The paparazzi shifted to Lexi when they heard this, and they started questioning her.

"Mrs. Stokes, how do you feel when you saw the video?"

"Mrs. Stokes, is this the first time that Mr. Stokes will do something like that...Blah blah blah Lexi decided not to answer the questions and we both walked inside the hall where mom and dad were waiting for us Mom wrapped her hands around me when we entered the hall and said "Happy birthday sweetie"

"Thanks Mom"

Dad also joined us and patted my back "Happy birthday son"

"Thanks Dad"

Mom released me and we all walked to the front of the hall.
