Flora was inside her room on a Sunday evening, she had been given new school wears and she was arranging it all in the wardrobe.
She heard some sounds coming from the living room, the sounds were not of two people otherwise she would have thought Orville was having a conversation with Hannah.
It was as though three people were speaking. Since she was already done with what she was doing, she decided to feed her eyes on whom the third party was.
She walked out of the room and saw Orville standing beside another lady who should be around twenty four years old. The lady had many expensive golds on and a heavy make up on her face. She looked fair and beauiful moderately.
Hannah was at this time walking to the kitchen leaving Orville and the lady at the living room.
Flora wondered whom this lady could be to him, perharps his sister, she thought and walked closer to them.
Once Orville saw Flora, the smile on his face widened and he asked calmly ," Flora, how are you?"
"I'm fine. I heard voices in the living room, that was why I decided to come," Flora said expecting Orville to introduce the lady beside him to her.
The lady had an indifferent look on as this was the first time she would be setting her eyes on Flora.
"Flora, I'm Martha," the lady stretched her right hand towards her and Flora received it. "Orville told me about you."
"Thank you, Martha," Flora said and they disengaged. Flora wondered what Orville told Martha about her. Perhaps a cool and young girl.
"I have some things to do inside," Flora said and turned, she soon faded out of their sight.
Orville and Martha sat at the living room and then, Martha spoke, "she's young indeed."
"Yes, I hope that the both of you will get along eventually," Orville said.
"Did you say she asked for divorce after two months?" Martha questioned.
"That's right but I'm never letting her go," Orville said and Martha's heart constrict very tightly.
She bite her lower lips and looked away.
"Is anything wrong?" Orville noticed her sudden change of expression and asked.
She managed to put her emotions under control and said, "a thought about something just cross my mind, never mind." She lied.
Martha and Orville were best of friends, they regard each other as best friend but many people who noticed their closeness regards them as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Martha had feelings for Orville since she was young. She loved him so much but she had never been able to confess her feelings to him. She thought that Orville also loves her and that whenever Orville is ready for Marriage, he would definitely confess his feelings to her.
The reason why Martha was not under pressure to confess how she felt towards Orville was because she was sure that Orville didn't love any woman.
She was close to him very well and she knows his movement but she received the greatest shock of her life yesterday when Orville informed her that he was married.
It sounded like he was only pranking her but seeing the seriousness in the look and tone of Orville, he confirmed that Orville was really telling the truth.
How could he get married all of a sudden? It was hard for her to digest such a shocking news. She then told Orville that she had like to meet with his new wife. She even lied that she was happy for him but how could she be happy when she had always thought she would be the one that Orville would marry.
"It's evening and I was thinking that we could all eat dinner together, including Hannah," Orville said.
"That's good but... I don't really have the apetite to eat sincerely, I...have been purging," Martha lied. She just wanted to leave and be alone but she needed a logical excuse.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, you should take a drug then," Orville said and Martha stood.
"Orville, we'll see some other time," she placed her hand on her belly and walked out swiftly.
Her actions looked strange to Orville and then he followed suit. Once Martha got inside her car, Orville spoke," if you are feeling like defecating, why don't you defecate here?"
"No, not feeling like defecating, I'll explain to you later," she said with a contorted face as though she was in pain and then started the car.
"Or shall I take you to the hospital?" Orville questioned. She was his best friend so it was reasonable for him to care about her.
"No, thanks dear," she said and drove away.
Orville prayed in his heart that she would be fine.
He turned back inside and walked towards the room happily. Whenever he thinks about Flora, he feels very happy about it.
"Flora! Can I come in?" He asked at the entrance of the room.
"Of course," Flora's response came through.
"Thank you sweetheart," he opened the door and came in.
He saw Flora laying on the bed and holding her phone, her two thumbs were on the screen of the phone while the remaining fingers supported the phone from behind.
"Are you playing a game?" Orville asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"No, just going through some lectures, I do have some PDFs of some subjects I do on my phone," Flora responded.
"Great, come here princess," he said and Flora dropped her phone on the bed then adjusted into a sitting position before moving closer to him.
Orville touched her hair and caressed it," I love your hair."
"Thank you," She blushed and said.
He trailed his hand down her long hair and said," your hair is loosed because you are home, right? I can help you pack it into a ponytail?"
Flora giggled lightly, "I can do that myself. And yes, I loosened the hair because I'm home."
"You can loosen it back after I had packed it into a ponytail. Let me, princess," Orville said and after a few seconds, Flora nodded.
Orville helped her pack her hair into a ponytail then kissed her forehead.
He said, " Flora, you are my queen while I'm the king. I'm the only man that can touch your hair from now henceforth, is that right?"
Flora squinted her eyes and thought for a while before raising her head to him, she was now looking at his handsome face," only you? What if any boy at my school touch my hair?"
Orville's face turned stern immediately, he answered angrily," I'll kill the boy."
Flora fluttered her brow as she saw the look of a deep obsession on his face. She had only met Orville two days ago and he was this obsessed about her already.Flora swallowed the lump in her throat and didn't know what else to say."You can keep reading, sweetheart," Orville said and stood from the bed.He went to sit by a couch that was by a side of the room, he opened his laptop and began to review some of the activities of his company.Flora couldn't read for a while, instead, she kept stealing glances at him. He was backing her but he looked adorable.Flora wondered if this man had fallen in love with her so soon? Either he loves her or not, they would have to part ways after two months anyways. She wasn't ready for marriage.Flora read few more writings on her phone before falling asleep. When she woke the following day, she didn't see Orville in the room.She had no idea if he even slep
All through the hours at school, Flora wasn't really happy. She had an heavy heart. She was wondering what the following day would look like in school.Bennie was really her thorn in the flesh. Since she had no friend, she walked outside the school alone and sighted a familiar figure by her left sight.She walked towards him and realized that it was the driver who drove her to work. He must have been waiting around so he could drive her home."Are you done, madam? So I can drive you home?" He questioned."Yes...but, I want to check on my brother at the hospital, I haven't heard from him since I moved to Orville's house," Flora said."Mr. Orville said I must do whatever you want so I will drive you to the hospital, if that pleases you," the driver said."Thank you," Flora walked inside the car and told the man the particular hospial that her brother was. Soon, the man began to drive."Have you
Flora cried for few seconds before walking towards the exit of the car. It's a terrible feeling seeing the only person you have left in the world caring for a different somebody and abandoning you. The one who was supposed to be there for her is clearly against her.She cleaned her tears with her handkercheif and walked to where the driver's car was, she pleaded with the man to drive her to where her family hospital was and the man agreed.Once they arrived there, Flora waddled around the hospital and soon found her brother laying on the bed.Once Tony saw her, he called weakly and hopelessly," little sister, I'm in pain."Flora let tears flowed down her cheek, she doesn't like to cry before her brother but she could not hold back the tears today. She was very heartbroken. It hurts badly to see her brother in pain. She walked closer to him and placed her hand on his forehead," I made a mistake by trusting that beast w
Orville and Flora went to sit at the dinning table, "I hope you enjoy the food." Orville's voice was soft."Most definitely," Flora said gently. They ate quietly, Flora couldn't beleive that she would be able to eat despite the predicament that she was currently going through.Flora stood since she was done and said," I want to do some assignments inside.""Alright, sweetheart," Orville watched her walk away. He stole glances on her as she walked away.He loved everything about her and he won't let anything or anyone hurt her.While Flora was inside, she received a call from their family doctor and she answered, since Tony was at the family hospital, it was normal for her to receive a call from the family doctor. She only hoped that this call won't be a bad news."Hello, Flora," the doctor's voice came through."Doctor," Flora called."Well, your brothe
Orville wondered why Flora had not come out of the toilet for the past three minutes, he was worried and walked to the toilet. He planted a knock on the door and said gently," Flora!"It was only then that Flora came off her thought, "I'll be out now."Flora cleaned her face with a towel and then walked out, she tried as much as possible to hide her nervousness. It was even a good thing that they will divorce in the next two months.She hoped that before her belly start protruding as a prove to the public that she's pregnant, she would have divorced Orville.She can't imagine how Orville will feel if he found out that she was pregnant for another man? He would be hurt and probably chase her away.Indeed, Orville beleived that Flora was pure and a virgin. He even ordered one of his men to look into Flora's past and they didn't find anything bad about her.So Orville trusted her and was not rea
Flora didn't want anyone to know that she was married. She will only be mocked amidst her colleagues."Just give me two months, please," Flora said.Benine frowned, he didn't expect that he would be rejected by Flora. The fact that he came all the way from a different country just because of her and she's rejecting his offer, it really hurts him that he shut his eyes closed for a while.He left the card and the flower on her table and walked out of her class.Flora watched as Benine went to sit in his seat, it wasn't that she can't accept Benin's proposal since Benine was even her crush despite being her bully but she was married at this moment and she can't keep two men at the same time It will devoid her of peace.But it was really surprising that Benine offered to be in a relationship with her.Benine? The handsome boy who takes pleasure in bullying her?When it was lunc
Orville sat in the living room angrily, he crossed his legs and was staring blankly at the television before him. Although the television was on but Orville's mind wasn't there.About an hour later, a knock landed on the door and Orville pressed the remote of the door for it to open wide.Dennis walked in and said," sir, I made a detailed research on Benine and I found out that his father is the most dangerous Mafia boss in New York."Orville was surprised to hear that, he frowned deeply and said," are you scared to get Benine expelled?""I tried to but the management of the school declined with the claim that Benine's father was one of those who contributed immensely to the growth of the school plus Benine's father is still a major shareholder in the ownership of the school," Dennis explained.This was the first time that Orville's request from any firm would be turned down. He turned off the television
Two days later, Tony had travelled to Atlanta and he was doing just fine, however, Flora kept having symptoms of pregnancy. She wished she was not pregnant but it was better for her to go through a pregnancy test to confirm.After she was done with school, she said to Dennis," Dennis, I need you to do something for me, please.""Anything for you, young miss," Dennis said."I need to do something at the hospital, so I will need you to drive me there before driving me home but I did not want Orville to know, can you do that? Please?" Flora asked.Orville knew her brother was no longer in town, afterall, he was the one in charge of moving him to Atlanta. What then could she want to do at the hospital? Dennis wondered"If you are sick, Mr. Orville is very willing to take good care of you," Dennis said."I know but some things are personal, I just need you to keep this a secrete, can you do that, please?" Flora
