"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."Where am I going to? Who are you to ask me such things? I think I have to set some rules in this house. Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you now, I don't mind you taking a paper and pen to jot them down since your brain isn't matured enough.Number one, you must maintain your distance from me. At no point should you be any means whether mistakenly or intentionally touch me.Number two, Don't ever see me as your husband, don't even think about it, just see me as your Brother taking care of you since you can't afford to do that!Number three, I don't want to see you near my things, my clothes, shoes, bags, in fact, I don't ever want to see you in my bedroom.There is an exception though, since we're having our honeymoon and grandma intentionally arranged a one-room apartment for us with only one bathroom, just take your bath whenever I'm no where in sight and leave the bathroom. I slept on the sofa last night, you will be sleeping on the sofa while I stay in the bedroom till our honeymoon is over. Once we go back to my house, I have different rooms, just pick one and stay in there. I don't want to see you near my bedroom, okay?"… Ok..okay"" Rule number three, whenever we happen to go out in public, which I know wouldn't happen often except for family gatherings, you can touch me but, Don't be too clingy." Anytime grandma comes visiting, that is the only time you're permitted to enter my bedroom.""And also, my food is none of your concerns except I specifically request for it. That's all for now, I'd let you know about the rest later."I said and walked out of the house.******Sophie and I got married yesterday. It was a very private wedding strictly for immediate family members only. The private wedding was my idea which my parents and grandmother readily agreed to since it was the only condition I gave for the wedding to happen between us. I have never seen my so-called "wife" before in my life. The first time I saw her was on the altar yesterday and I must say she's beautiful and so young but, she isn't my type. She's isn't up to the standard of women I like, she's below par. Immediately I saw her yesterday, I knew this wasn't going to work. I only did this out of the respect I have for my grandmother. Infact, I owe her my life. She's the only person I don't say no to anything she asks. When she approached me about the marriage matter, I didn't say no even though I knew I wasn't ready. My mother had set me up with countless women over the years which I turned everyone of them down. She was even surprised when she said I was getting married to whom grandma chose for me.Sophie, yeah my wife's name. I heard she's a country girl from Gema village. I heard from my grandmother how her family saved her when she went to the village for a project few years back. The only way she thought she could repay them was her grandson marrying their daughter to change their status. I saw her parents and how they looked yesterday, I must say, they really looked poor. Even trying to push them for the wedding up still couldn't hide their status. They were really nice to me at the wedding and I acted like the best son-in-law yesterday.Sophie wore a simple wedding gown that covered everywhere, I don't know who chose that kind of wedding gown for her. Yes, it was expensive but I didn't like it. I love my women showing some skin, sexy and slim with blonde hair. Well, she's the opposite of the women I liked.After our vows, when we were asked to kiss the bride, I gave her a quick peck so as not to cause a scene. The way she was waiting for that kiss, you'd know that's her first kiss but I'm sure she didn't enjoy it.My grandmother arranged a two-week honeymoon for us in Green island but I lied about a business I needed to work on the following week and she agreed to one week. The truth is, I don't even see her as a woman at all. I can't even take her out, a whole Billionaire like me, settling for that?I looked at her throughout our wedding yesterday and my conclusion was to treat her like a sister.The incident that happened this morning to me made me angry and it was funny at the same time. When she came asking what I'd like to eat, she really looked funny.Imagine her calling me Greg?? Are we mates? My sister wouldn't try that with me and she's two years older than her.And what was that dress? Why is she dressed like that? What did I get myself into? I can't even show her to my friends nor the outside world. Thank God it was a private wedding and the public still sees me as a bachelor because how am I going to tell them the hottest Billionaire bachelor settled for that?……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
I saw her walking down the stairs to have breakfast. Her face looked pale this morning. I didn't see her when I came back from work yesterday. I just went to sleep because I was tired. She greeted me but I didn't reply. I was almost done eating when she suddenly stood up and vomited outside. What is going on? Wait, is she pregnant?She looked So pale and the only conclusion I could arrive at was she was pregnant judging how she blushed when Rose asked about her crush. Kids are not to be trusted these days. There is no way I'm fathering a bastard! This was their plan all along? Without thinking I walked up to her and asked her to get into the car, to my surprise, she ignored me and tried to leave. The second time I raised my voice, she yielded. I could see my workers looking at the drama happening and Sheila was trying to stop me, so I threatened to fire her. She's making me lose my cool in front of my staff. This is the first time I'm showing this side to them.The thoughts of anothe
At work, I took my private elevator to my office. On entering the office, I met Rose seated in my office. She hugged me and tried to kiss me which I refused. I wasn't in the mood for that and this has to stop. "You have to stop coming to my house and work" I told her" Why? You don't like me anymore?" She said" I never liked you in the first place,it was just a one time thing and you know it has been over for a long time" " Wow, so you don't want me anymore? After what we've been through? After all the promises?""I only said I was going to protect you and help you, I was straightforward about not wanting a relationship with you"" But we slept together, what would you say about that? Your plan was to take advantage of me all along?"" Yeah we slept together but nothing really happened. I didn't take advantage of you, you willingly gave in and I never had sex with you, we only smooched for a while and that was it. You even initiated everything despite Knowing I was intoxicated yet,
'Older men with attitude problems are not my type either.' I replied angrilyBefore I knew what was happening, he slapped me and said, 'Don't ever talk back to me,' and walked out. I held my right cheek in pain and silently went back to my room crying. I was relieved that no one was around to witness what had just happened. I still felt slight pains from the cramps, the one in my heart, and the burning sensation on my cheek from the slap. Thinking about what happened in the morning, the tears couldn't stop flowing. I had given him his boundaries, but disrespecting me that way made me really angry. Accusing me of carrying a bastard and what he told Dr. Ben earlier made me furious. I'm not a robot; as humans, we all have our limits. Dragging my parents into this made me lose control and talk back to him. The words had left my mouth before I knew I shouldn't have said that. I cried myself back to sleep because the pain was too much.The following morning, I woke up with pains all over m
It has been three weeks since I last saw her, and I don't plan on going home anytime soon. I still have regrets over my last action, and the image of my handprint on her face that morning is still in my head. I realized I had gone too far by slapping her. I couldn't bring myself to face her after what I did."Old men with attitude problems are not her type?" Anytime I remember this statement, it makes me more angry. She didn't just call me an old man, but I wasn't her type? The more I think about it, the more it makes me laugh. That smallie has a spec?These past weeks have been from one work to another. I have been sleeping at my house located at the outskirts of the town. It is a small house I bought a few years back to rest. It's where I hide whenever I need my space.I have been going out for drinks with my friends lately. Today again, I went to Brad's bar for drinks. Ben joined in after work today. We were in our usual VIP room when Brad suggested bringing in some girls to spice
I told her I was going to sleep in the sitting room, but she refused and said she couldn't sleep in her room alone. I agreed to sleep on the floor while she sleeps on the bed. She said okay. I was surprised at how she readily agreed to that. That was when I knew she didn't have any plans and that I was safe. We both didn't sleep early and talked about funny moments we've both had these past few years. We talked for minutes before I slept off. I slept peacefully, knowing nothing would happen, but it was a lie. I never knew it was a trap.Sophie's POVI've been trying to sleep, but I couldn't. I've been having thoughts on how I was going to tell Greg about traveling next week. I wasn't worried about that alone; I was worried about how he was doing. I haven't stopped sending texts to him. I've been apologizing over what I said and how it wouldn't happen again. He has been reading them but hasn't replied. I was really happy that he was reading them. At least he knows I'm really sorry, and
