Chapter 14The next day, I woke up to the sight of maids filling up my walk-in closet with custom-made outfits. “What is going on?” I asked a bit angrily as my sleep was interrupted, plus they entered with information. “Good morning, madam,” the maid said reluctantly, but I was not in the mood to care about that. "Yeah, what is going on here?” I asked again. "Master Blaqk asked us to bring these clothes up to your room,” she said. “And why did you guys not notify me before entering my room?” I asked, causing the remaining maids to pause in their steps. “We did try knocking, madam, but you were not answering. We asked Miss Mary, and she told us to just enter.” The maid said, and I seethed with anger. “Starting today, you guys will not enter my room without my knowledge," I told them, and they all nodded and got back to work. I sighed and decided to have my bath and prepare for my meeting with the Blaqk family. I sighed at the thought of meeting those people. I really wished I c
Chapter 15I walked into the large sitting room with Ryan by my side while being scrutinised by the members of the Baqk family. Ryan’s grandfather and mother were rarely in the sight of the media, but Ryan’s younger brother Matthew was very famous in the media for his frivolous ways; he even had an illegitimate son due to him sleeping around. When the matter was widely publicised, the Baqk family had no choice but to accept the child."Sit,” Mr. Blaqk, Ryan’s father, said as he motioned for us to sit on the only free couch left.I sat down, looking a bit casual, while Ryan looked unrestrained; he seemed like he did not care about his parents."Miss Greene, we appreciate you for the help you have given the Blaqk family,” he started, while I nodded nervously.“But we need to know when you two will divorce and end this sham of a marriage," he asked while looking nonchalant. I looked at Ryan, as I too wanted to know if Ryan was really serious about our marriage being for life.“We are not
Chapter 16I woke up late with peace of mind because I knew that I had no job to worry about. After sleeping for some more time, I decided to have breakfast before I took my bath. I ate the scrumptious breakfast alone since Ryan decided to leave early for work, but I did not really care. While I was eating, Mary was standing in the corner, watching me with a weird expression on her face.After eating, I took my bath and got ready. I decided to tie my hair up in a bun. I wore simple blue jeans and packed an oversized grey shirt with black Jordans on my feet.Just as I was about to go, I decided to take one of Ryan’s cars out, and obviously Mary had a problem with it.“You can't do that, madam,” she said as she blocked my path from reaching the keys.“Why do you care about me taking one of Ryan's cars out?” I asked her angrily."Madam, I am so sorry, but as the butler of this house, I am in charge of everything, and I have to make sure that you have taken permission from the master befor
The two door attendants were so adamant about not letting me in, so I had no choice but to dial Ryan’s number. I already accepted the fact that he might not pick up my call, but surprising enough, he picked up immediately. “What do you want?” he said in a cold Montone voice, which flustered me a little bit. "Uhm." I started trying to figure out how to arrange my words. "Eliza, I have work to do,” he said impatiently. "Well, I am in front of this bar; it's called the Verr Royce bar," I started. “So what's the problem?” he asked. "Well, they did not let me in because I was not invited, so I was hoping you could help,” I asked nervously. “Why would you go to a place you were not invited to? Are you begging to be embarrassed?" he asked, and I could tell that he was amused by my situation with his tone. “My friend Alex works here; I came to see her." I told him "Well, can't she help you?" "Look, are you going to help me or not?” I asked impatiently. “Hold on,” he said before he
Alex was sitting in the middle of a bunch of rich second masters; they were forcing Alex to drink. It was literally just twelve p.m. in the afternoon. Why were they forcing Alex to drink, and why did they drink themselves? Without much thought, I walked up to them with a large stride. "Hrm, hrm.” I cleared my throat, drawing their attention. "Wow, we are really lucky today; another beauty has delivered herself to us,” they mocked as they looked at me with their leacherous gazes, which disgusted me. I raised my hands, and a crisp sound of my hand making contact with the face of one of the men resounded around the bar. Even the music stopped playing, and the other customers turned their attention to us, looking at us with amusement. “How dare you slap me, you bitch?" the man shouted. "If you mess with me, I will slap you again," I theatened him, pointing my hands at him while he stepped back in fear. “Alex, let's go,” I said as I grabbed her hands, preparing to drag her away, but
I walked out of the club with difficulty because I was dragging Alex behind me. As I went out, I noticed that the previous door attendants had already been repaid, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. The valet helped me drive my car to the front of the bar. Without much help, I was able to stuff the very drunk Alex at the back of my car. "Hey, drink some water,” I told her as I threw a half-drunk bottle of water to the back. “I don't want to drink it,” she said in a baby voice, and I burst out in laughter. “You are drunk, Alex. Drink the water,” I said in a convincing tone. “I am not drunk, I swear,” she dragged as she lay down. We got to my house, and a maid helped me bring her inside and into my bedroom, where I had to undress her and, with a lot of stress, take her into the shower. After that, I had to put on something more comfortable for her as she slept off. I did not forget what I wanted to talk to her about, but I had no choice but to wake her up and be sober. I became
Alex had finished looking at Ryan and I’s wedding photos, so we just talked till it was late. I realised that it was already evening when I was informed by one of the maids that Ryan had arrived. “Oh my gosh, is he here?” Alex asked excitedly, and I rolled my eyes at her and walked out the door. "Hey, wait for me!” she shouted as she ran to catch up to me. “I wonder how bitter Jeremiah and Lisa will feel when they realise that you ended up with someone two times better than him. I am pretty sure Lisa will try to snatch Ryan away too". Alex laughed, and I laughed along. At this point in my life, I could not just care about Lisa. By the time we got downstairs, Ryan was already in, looking handsome as always. “Oh my gosh!” Alex silently screamed as she looked at me excitedly. “Good evening, Mr. Blaqk. I am a huge fan of you.” She rambled to him as she left me behind and ran to his front while acting like a child who was just his idol. But Alex was never such a huge fan of Ryan; she
When I woke up, the scenes of the previous night flooded into my brain, even though it was not my first time. I was still so shy, but Ryan was not. That bastard had me up all night. I looked beside me, and sure enough, he had already gone to work. I collapsed on his soft bed tiredly, but I knew I had to leave. I clumsily grabbed my pyjamas and hurriedly put them on. I opened the door and took a peek outside to be sure that none of the maids were lurking in the corner. When I saw that the coast was clear, I quickly ran to my bedroom and shut the door. I put my back on the door as I heavily breathed in and out; it would have been so embarrassing. I thought of talking to Alex, but I knew that she would laugh at me. I felt so stupid for a moment; how could I listen to Alex? I sat down on the ground as I started to think about my next step—what would Ryan do to help me out? I was not worried about him going back on his promise; I just knew he wouldn't. As I was about to go to my bathroo
