OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 013
Weeks went by and their bantering didn't stop. Jeff had even lost count. There was no hope of them ever getting along. And they were both fine about that. Or so, they thought. Rhoda glared at her husband as he descended down the stairs in his business suit with his suitcase in one hand. He did not have his tie tied, and she would have helped him out if he was his wife. But unfortunately, she wasn't. That was something she would have loved to help her husband with if she had married for love. If she hadn't found herself marrying an asshole.She might have even considered helping him if they got along quite well, but no. So, it was not necessary. They were not close to the extent of helping him with something like that. Not even close to the extent of giving him breakfast, lunch or dinner. They were not even close enough to exchange numbers.At least, they knew each other's names."Rhoda," her husband called."Jeffery," she replied sarcastically.Jeffrey looked at her with the way she

That was the smoothest lie Jeffrey had ever heard. He looked at Rhoda before biting his lower lip. "I am sorry I disturbed your…. Uhm," he stretched his hand towards the sofa. "Feel free to continue. Don't mind me. I'll be upstairs," he said and walked out of their presence.He had to come back home since the trip he was planning on going on had been canceled. He decided to come home early and take the day off instead of resuming back to work. But walking in on Rhoda like that made him remember why they had to get married again. That was all bullshit to him, though. Especially the fact that he got to know the reason he married after the wedding.Her family business was going down the drain and if his father wanted to help, he should do so without getting something as huge as a marriage in return.That was all bullshit to him. Especially the fact that he got to know the reason he married after the wedding. He should have told him the reason beforehand. He shouldn't have blackmailed
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 015
Jeffery got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for work. He rushed out some minutes later after hearing his bedroom door banged open and urgent footsteps. He held the towel at his waist and looked at the luggages scattered on the floor. What was going on?Minutes later, his wife dashed in with a fierce expression on her face. She was obviously angry given the way she was dropping her bags on the floor. Why was she bringing her things into his room? Yes, they were married, but when did they ever share a room? They never did, not even once. So, he was confused."Rhoda? What's wrong?" He asked."Kelly is at the door and she's here to spend the weekend. I haven't let her in because I can't let her see me carry my bags from the guest room here. You get what I mean?""Oh, yeah. Okay.""Okay? Just okay? Come on, help me carry my luggages in here," she said as she started to rush out the door."Wait, you have more bags?" He was surprised she could still have more than what was

"Rhoda, are you okay?" Jeffrey asked as he touched her shoulder, but she leaned away and placed the cup on the table. In a normal circumstance, he wouldn't have asked. He would have laughed instead since he knew the reason she was coughing.She nodded. "Yeah, I am fine. Thank you. Uhm… I guess the tea took the wrong route, so I choked," she explained as she avoided looking at his eyes. She might actually lean in for the kiss if she did. "Oh, okay." Wrong route, of course. No one was expecting that. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water in the dining room?" Kelly asked."Yes, but in the kitchen please. The door after the dining room. Thank you," Rhoda said and watched her leave to get the water. She stood upright and turned her back to her husband. She needed to get a seat, but he hindered her from moving an inch. "What the fuck is wrong with your sister?"Jeffery laughed. "You already know how she is, but don't think I'm going to give you a goodbye kiss. You can 'choke' all yo
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 017
Rhoda finished doing the house chores which she rarely did before and had become tired. All she could think of now was to sleep. Anyone would have been wondering why she wasn't going to work. Well, it was obvious why. She didn't have one,clearly. She has tried to find a job, but to no avail. The employers, most of them, wanted to give herself to them just to secure a job which was something she would never do, while the rest said she wasn't qualified for the job which was absurd. She knew she was qualified as an accountant. And she was a first class student in Accounting and was also a certified chartered accountant. If that was easy, they should give it a try. But most Nigerian employers suck. She was offered a job in her father's company, but how could she accept that when it was the damn reason she had to get married to a stranger because it was about to liquidate? How could she bring herself to work in the place that ruined her plans and brought her misfortune.Yeah. Misfortune
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 018
Kelly gulped down another shot of tequila as she tried to avoid the man beside her at all cost. She had only come back to the bar with him because he insisted he wanted to talk. That was why she asked him to drop Rhoda off at her husband's office since it was closer to the bar and she had gotten drunk already after two shots. They had gotten back to the bar and all she had done was ignore his questions. There was no point in telling her ex boyfriend of a few hours ago how she was doing, right? Why would he suddenly care about her when she broke up with her some hours ago?"Kelly? Talk to me, please. And stop taking these shots. You're close to getting drunk, babe," the young man said to her with concern wrapped around his voice."Babe? Did you just call me that, Francis?" Kelly asked while looking at him, but tore the eye contact sooner before she drowned in the ocean of his eyes. "You have broken up with me, have you forgotten that? You do not want me anymore. How did you even know
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 019
If Jeffery was expecting everything to go smoothly the following day, then he had better think again. What even made him think that Rhoda would be cool with what happened between them?He had woken up first and had gone to the bathroom to bathe, while Rhoda was still sleeping. He had driven her home the previous night and made her sleep on his bed, but they ended up having another round of their love making. To think that she was naked under that blanket was giving him joy somehow and even earned a smile from his lips. Just that…. He had expected too much. He had his doubts in his office the previous day, but after getting home, all of those doubts were wiped off. How could he think everything was going to be okay?He could no longer label what he was feeling for her. She had him grinning like an idiot. I mean, just the day before, he was sure he hated her. And now? He didn't know what to feel. He couldn't have just loved her overnight, could he?He returned to the bedroom to see her
