"You do not have to look so nervous," Anna laughed when she saw the expression on her face. "I am here to help you pack for the honeymoon.""I already packed," Vida said, and Anna nodded."Okay, so let us assume that you have packed, but I want to see what it is that you've packed," Anna said, letting herself in as she walked upstairs.Vida followed behind her like an obedient dog, and they got into the room. Anna took out the suitcase and began to search it like she was looking for something in there. After a while, she sat up and let out a long sigh."What the hell is this?" she asked with an eye roll as she sat down on the floor."Clothes and all the necessities I need," Vida replied, not understanding the reason for her question. She had packed clothes that she would usually wear."Yes, I can see that. Are you going for a business meeting or honeymoon?" Anna shot at her. She rolled her eyes again and stood up, entering the shared closet. She went straight to the section that had V
"Of course not," Vida said, shaking her head vehemently. She was concerned with how quickly Axel picked up on things. "I am not avoiding you; why on earth would I?""That is what I am saying; why would you?" he asked, leaning into the door frame casually."I just needed privacy, as I am not used to sharing a room with people yet," she lied. It was him she was trying to get away from. "I came in here to take a couple of calls, that's all," she added, trying to sound convincing to him.It was obvious he did not believe her, and he did not need to say anything for her to know this. They both stood for a while staring at each other intently before Axel finally took a deep breath."I did not want to sound like a nag," he began, and she nodded because it was quite ironic; he seemed to be everywhere trying to lecture her about everything she should be doing and she shouldn't be doing."But you..." she trailed off as she realised that she did not need to respond. "But go on," she gestures for
Vida found herself angry at Axel and she knew it was just her reacting to the truth of her father favouring him over her. He had not necessarily done anything to her, and she did not want to take it out on him, so she avoided him all day. He was back quicker than she would have thought. So while he was busy greeting Maria, she slipped away and found herself in one of the guest rooms.She was glad that she had finished packing up her bags. She decided to stay in there until it was time for them to have dinner, then she would go out and have to face him. She was sure that by then her anger towards him would have gone down and she would be able to stand being in the same room as him.She was bored in the room; after scrolling through social media for a few hours, she called her friends, sensing that they would be getting off work around that time."Are you missing us already?" Kat asked; she was the first to pick up the video call. She seemed to be walking down the street with her ears p
Maria was thrilled with joy to hear that they had agreed with the honeymoon plans so she booked the tickets and the hotel for them at once so they could not change their mind."How did you get her to change her mind?" She pulled Axel away for a moment and whispered to him."I have no idea. I went in to tell her that we did not have to go if she did not want to, but then she began to insist that she must go since it was what her father wanted," Axel explained with a shrug."I guess she still feels guilty towards her father and thinks this is the way she can repay him," Maria replied. She did not know what other way she could use to tell this girl that her father would have loved her no matter what she had decided to do in the end. It was obvious that she was doing a lot she did not want to do because she felt like her father would have wanted her to do it, and she was doing it to redeem herself for being a bad daughter."I don't understand the guilt, but..." Axel trailed off. He did no
"Vida?" Maria said she was ready to go after the girl who had stormed out."I'll go," Axel volunteered, standing up. Maria was aware of the girl's anger and the way that she reacted whenever she was angry. She also knew that she could not stand Axel, so she might even do something worse to him. That was one of the reasons she had agreed to help her father get them out on their honeymoon. She needed to make sure that she saw that Axel was not as horrible as she had pictured in her mind all along."Are you sure?""Of course I am; I think I can manage," he resolved and left the older woman all alone in the kitchen. Axel climbed the stairs gently and went into the room."I do not want to talk to anyone," Vida said in a loud voice as the door shut behind him."I know you do not want to and you are angry about this entire situation, so I understand if you do not want to go on a honeymoon with me," he began, and Vida rolled her eyes.His act was somewhat impeccable that he had to keep up the
Vida could not seem to let the fact that Axel had woken up this morning and dressed to go out and then resurfaced later saying he could not go to work because they had just gotten married slide. Maybe this would be a great opportunity for her to prove that he was shady. He had to have left the house to go do something shady earlier, something that would put him at a disadvantage if everyone knew."Then why did you get dressed early this morning to leave the house?" She shot at him as she realised his clothes were more casual than what he had been wearing in the morning."Forced habits?" he asked, raising his eyebrow at her. "Maybe I could not just help it, and I had just gone ahead with what I usually do," he added when he saw from her face that she was not convinced at all."Oh, really?" she asked. Even though he had explained, she was sure that there was more to what they saw."Were you awake in the morning when I was leaving?" he asked, and he realised how foolishly she had blown h
