The Two Of Us

One's wedding night is meant to be the most special night for a woman. So Alice had thought. All through the wedding ceremony, Alice had thought herself to be the most special woman in the world. She saw herself as being so blessed to be getting married to a man as Kelvin Sanders, the only heir to his grandmother's multi-billion company. She was only a village girl who stopped her education at secondary school level and God favoured her with such a wonderful family. Throughout the wedding, she would look at her husband, Kelvin Sanders and smile to herself, 'How blessed am I!' she would say in her mind. She prided herself that day as the most envied woman in the world. Kelvin Sanders was the kind of man every woman would want to have as a husband. He was kind, sweet, handsome and very wealthy. She was grateful that he had chosen her to be his wife. After the grand wedding ceremony which was headlining the news, she was now alone with her husband in her grand bedroom, with tears in he

Alice decided to enjoy her time in the mansion as the wealthy daughter-in-law of madame Janet. It was going to be for three years and so she would make the most out of it. Madame Janet had already included her in receiving monthly allowance along side Kelvin. She had even given Alice her very first allowance for that month the day before her wedding. It was a huge sum of money that had shocked Alice. She was still in the dilemma of what to spend the money on. Her parents were not as wealthy as her in-laws and she had never seen such an amount of money before. She just sent her parents a little amount from it and kept the rest safe in her bank account, which, Madame Janet had opened for her immediately after her engagement to Kelvin.Alice watched how Kelvin spent his own allowance in just the three days she had been there as well as the few times they spent together before their wedding. He would buy recklessly, anything that he wanted. And recently she saw how be lavished a handful o

Alice got up early that morning and prepared to meet with her lawyer concerning the papers Kelvin was to sign. She took excuse from Grandma Janet and told her that she wanted to go to the church to pray and she would skip breakfast. It pleased grandma Janet that Alice loved God, being a religious woman and she was okay with it.Kelvin woke up and could not find Alice in the room and even at the dinning for breakfast. "Where is Alice?" Kevin asked his grandmother as they had breakfast."She went to the church" Grandma Janet said with a smile. "That girl is just too lovely and to think that she loves the Lord too" Kelvin sighed in his mind and continued with his food. At least he was spared the horrors of seeing her face that morning and he wished it would become a norm for Alice."Why didn't you go with her?" Grandma Janet asked him."I have things to do.....at the office" Kelvin replied."That is no excuse, son" Grandma Janet said, shaking her head."Next time, Grandma. I'll go with

"You know Anita?" Daniel asked, surprised. "Yes, though not in person" Alice replied. "I should have known they would try to make me look bad before grandma" she added. "They?" Daniel asked. It became obvious to him that Anita was not the only one with a desire to harm Alice and that Alice was already aware. "Yes, they." Alice replied and stood up. "Thank you Daniel, for everything" she said and left without Daniel stopping her. ***** They got home that evening and Alice faced Kelvin as soon as grandma Janet bade them good night and left for her room. They were still at the foyer. "So, you and your girlfriend laced my drink with alcohol to make me disgrace grandma and make her cut me off from the family?" Alice attacked. "You're lucky you got saved" Kelvin replied her in what was almost a whisper. "You really want me to tell Grandma the whole truth, right?" Alice said and a flash of fear swept through Kelvin's heart. "You won't dare!" he stepped closer to her, "I've

On the dance floor, Kelvin's eyes caught Alice, beautiful and charming, and in the arms of another man, dancing. He was disturbed. He never expected to see Alice in the party, but there she was, enjoying every bit of it. He was not sure how he felt. Was he angry? Was he jealous? He didn't know. Perhaps he was not expecting a girl of her status to be captivating men. He found himself being concerned and staring at her, though he tried very hard to ignore it. Daniel, who was dancing with Victoria, saw Alice on the dance floor with Lucas and his heart was filled with warmth. She danced effortlessly and graciously that one would think she was a pro. Alice occasionally smiled at Lucas words and Daniel's breath would cease. Gosh! she was very beautiful and very attractive to him. How was he going to survive six weeks with her on that ship without being tempted to at least give her a kiss? he wondered. Kelvin was equally confused at himself and his internal reactions to Alice on th
