Behind the Facade

Chapter 3

At that point, Jane was surprised. She didn’t expect it. Everyone was still shouting, "Say yes." Finally, she answered and told Tyrone, "Yes.". They were all happy, and they celebrated. Two weeks after the proposal, they had a family introduction and picked a wedding date. Ethan was so happy for Jane. Madam Veronica, a popular individual in the town, wanted the party to be the talk of the town. During the wedding preparations, Jane was just crying and thinking about how her parents would have been happy had they been alive to witness such a day, most especially her dad. The big day finally came, and a lot of celebrities and top business owners came for the wedding. The wedding was the talk of the town for two weeks, and Madame Veronica was so happy because that was what she wanted for her only son and the heir to her business empire. Jane and Tyrone had their honeymoon abroad. They spent two months there. Madam Veronica did a welcome party for them; she gave them cars. Jane was so happy. One day, Tyrone called Jane to tell her that she wouldn’t be going to work; he wanted her to be a full-time housewife. She was so reluctant about it. It almost caused an argument, so Jane agreed, then Tyrone drew her closer and whispered into her ears, "I mean, no evil; I just feel you shouldn’t stress yourself; you know I love you." Jane said there was no problem. After a while, she called Athalia and told her about it. Athalia advised her to run her own private firm from home. She took the advice Athalia gave her and started her own real estate firm. At first, she made no sales, but all of a sudden, she started closing at least one deal per week. She didn’t allow Tyrone to know. One day, Tyrone came home and told her that he had been made CEO and that his mom was retiring. They were happy about it, and they celebrated. That night, they had a retirement party for her. The following week, Tyrone started work as CEO of the company. Years passed, and finally, Ethan was done with medical school. He came to see Jane and decided to stay at Jane’s place for a while. When Tyrone came home and saw Ethan in the living room, they greeted each other. Jane welcomed Tyrone and went upstairs. Tyrone asked what he was doing in the house, and Jane said that he was just staying for a while. Tyrone then complained that they are married and they need space. Jane then said that he was just staying for a week. Tyrone was not comfortable with it, but he just said, "Okay." One day, Tyrone helped Ethan get a job at one of the best hospitals in town. The pay was really nice, and the benefits were also juicy. He got an official house, car, and stock options. The following week, he moved out of their house and into his own house. Jane’s private firm was growing rapidly. She started employing people but has no physical office, so Tyrone won’t suspect or know because he knows almost all the business owners in the town. One day, Tyrone came home, and Jane told him to expand his business. At first, he was scared, but when he listened closely to what she said, it worked out fine, and the business grew exponentially. That step made Tyrone love Jane even more than he did before.
