I stood there speechless. I looked at both of them and ran out of words. I felt my chest tightened, the more I looked at them, the more pain I felt.Coming all the way from Bellaris to see this? Greg looked at me for a few minutes and walked past me. Few minutes later, Rose came out of the kitchen, she held two cups and made her way towards the sitting. Immediately she saw me, she was startled." When did you get here? Why are you here?" She asked surprised at my presenceI didn't reply and walked to the sitting room to where Greg was seated, he was busy with his laptop." I want us to talk" I said to himHe didn't reply and continued with what he was doing on his system.This time, Rose was now seated beside him. She gave him a cup of tea and they both continued talking about business." Are you ready? We're going to start the meeting Soon" Greg told Rose who nodded to his question.WowI'm not leaving here without talking to him.I sat down on the cushion beside Greg. Greg was now
Both Rose and Greg were surprised. As I was about to continue what I was saying, Greg ordered me out." Get out" Greg ordered" I'm not going anywhere" I replied" Sophie, you're testing my patience, I said get out!" He shouted" Get out? And she stays? No way I'm going anywhere when she's here" I repliedGreg became quiet. " Rose, let's Go" Greg said taking his car keys from the tableI immediately blocked his way to stop him from leaving. " Where do you think you're going?" I asked with my voice laced with angerWithout replying, Greg pushed me out of his way. He held Rose's hand and they both walked out. I ran after him and shouted" If you leave with her, this would be the last time you'd see me in this house!" I retorted angrilyGreg stopped walking for a while, he turned to look at me and scoffed" Suit yourself" he said and they both left.I was speechless. He chose Rose at the end. Why am I still here? What's the essence of this sham called Marriage? The amount of pain I
" No thanks" I simply replied" Why? It's just to eat something nice after all the stress we've been through these past few days" he said smiling" Or should I call the rest to Join us? It seems you don't want to eat with me alone" Elliot said looking at me" It's not that Okay, let's eat dinner together then" I agreedWe both went to a small Restaurant outside the school. It was a popular place amongst students. Elliot ordered for both of us at my request.After we were done eating, we talked for a while and left.He tried to pay for my taxi back to the hostel but I declined. I got home a few minutes later. " Did you go somewhere after your exam?" Diana asked immediately I entered our room." Oh sorry I didn't call to inform you, Elliot and I went out for dinner after the exam" I replied" Hmm.. so, you went out on a date with him?" She asked " You heard me clearly Diana, it was not a date. Going out to eat with a coursemate isn't a date" I replied" But…. He's handsome and……"I
" Thank you" I said in between tears. I was asked to blow the candles and make a wish, I did as I was told.They presented me with different presents. I opened them after the other and was amazed at the wonderful gifts they got me.Elliot asked for our food to be served, we all ate and sang. We played different games and sang." Let's go and dance!!" Tracy suddenly exclaimedWe left the VIP room and went to the Dance floor in the VIP section of the bar. On our way, I saw a family face and was surprised. Immediately he saw me, he came over to where I was." Ma'am welcome" The manager from the Williams Hotel here in Bellaris saidI saw the surprised look on everyone and asked to be excused. The General manager and I walked to a corner to talk." Do you work here as a part-time manager? How come you're a manager in two different companies" I asked The manager smiled and replied," Didn't you see the name when you came in?" He asked" I did, it was just "W" I answered" Didn't it ring
"Greg, good morning? What would you like for breakfast?""What? Did you just call me Greg? Are we mates? What gives you the right to call me that name? Because you're my wife? Hey kid, listen, Don't you ever call me Greg.""But… We're…married…""So what? I only married you because of my grandmother. And looking at it, we're not on the same level, be it age, class, or status! You're just an eighteen-year-old country girl."…………"I'm 26 and you're just 18, eight years age gap isn't a joke. The fact that we're married doesn't give you the right to call me by my name. Didn't your parents teach you about respecting your elders?""How should I address you then?""Just call me sir. I don't ever want to hear Greg from that tiny mouth of yours."" You just spoiled my mood this early morning."I quickly went into my bedroom and changed into formal clothes. Took my briefcase and left. On my way to the door, I heard her say something stupid." Sir, where are you going to?"This girl must be crazy
After our honeymoon, I moved back to Greg's house. I must say, I have never seen a house this big in my life, with so many rooms. This is more like a king's mansion. Greg directed me to my room, which was just two rooms away from his own. Since the incident that happened on the first day of our honeymoon, I gave him his boundaries. My mother told me to always respect my husband and do whatever he asks me to do. She made me understand the impact he made in our family and how things changed for us. I witnessed how we barely had food to eat and how Nana, like I always call his grandmother, changed our lives. I was able to attend high school all thanks to Nana and her support. She made sure my family and I never lacked anything. When my parents called me to tell me about the marriage plans, I wasn't okay with the idea, but Nana said it's going to be good for me and my parents consented to it, so I agreed immediately.When I first saw Greg on our wedding day, I first looked at myself to kn
My cook informed me about our dinner. I went downstairs with Rose but I didn't see Sophie anywhere. We waited for minutes and I told one of my workers to call her but she came back telling me she isn't answering. I brought out my phone and called her number I collected from Nana before our wedding. She picked up immediately the phone rang and I just told her to come downstairs. Few minutes later she came downstairs wearing….. How did I miss it? What was I thinking about agreeing to marry her? I thoughtRose suddenly burst out laughing on seeing what Sophie and what she was wearing. I was embarrassed and angry, she's going to bring a lot of shame to my name and my family's name, that I know for sure. Grandma should know about my taste before bringing this to me. I've dated a couple of celebrities which are not hidden to the public but….. what is so special about Sophie for her to insist on me marrying her? I was thinking about this when I suddenly heard Sophie's voice calling me sir
I couldn't sleep because of what happened earlier. I received a call from Trent, my high school friend, about some materials concerning our entrance exam. We both chose Bellaris University. The only mistake I made wasn't hanging up the call and opening the door immediately. I thought it was one of the workers before I heard his voice.My mother particularly warned me about making my husband angry, I just did that today. What should I do? I just have to be extra obedient and not pass my boundaries just like he wanted. The following morning, I went out of my bedroom after freshening up to eat breakfast. I met Greg full dressed and about going to work. Sheila, our cook, offered him breakfast, he said he was running late already. I greeted him but he didn't answer and left. Sheila served me my food and left. I ate quietly. I've been eating well since I came here and I've been enjoying every bit of the meals. Sheila is actually a nice woman and she's been taking care of me, I don't know
