She watched the guard dragging in her luggage with a dark and plump middle aged lady walking beside him. She had seen the lady earlier amongst the maids and she presumed her to be the head maid as she seemed to be the eldest amongst them. The lady took her stand beside her and they both stood side by side looking at Adrian who was sitting comfortably on the couch, while paying little or no attention to them. He stood up and adjusted his suit before turning his face towards them. "Take her to her room upstairs" he ordered with a deep voice. "Ok, sir" the maid nodded and picked up the bags. "This way, ma'am," she said to Alex who nodded and followed behind her.They both walked to the large twin staircase and as they walked, she saw Adrian heading out of the house and she wondered where he was heading tonight. The maid led her to a lit up passage which contained several rooms. They walked to a door and the maid pressed a keypad on the wall. The door slid open and they both walked into th
"What is he going to do now? Is he going to kill me?" She asked anxiously as they all walked back to the kitchen. "Hey, why did you run out like that? See how you made the boss fall," Vivian said. "Oh, poor me, the village girl in me just resurfaced" she cried and they all laughed. "Oh, I've never seen the boss so embarrassed before" one of the ladies put in. "Yes, did you see the look on his face?" Another one asked and they all laughed again. "Wait, why do I have a feeling that you did it on purpose? To get back at him for what he did last night?" Vivian asked as she looked at Alex who was smiling. "No, I didn't, but it was nice anyway, sweet revenge" she said and they all laughed again. "Come on girls, get busy" Vivian ordered and they all began to get busy. "Is he always like this? Mean? Cold? Arrogant?" She asked as she continued chopping the tomatoes. "Not really, though he isn't nice, but he wasn't this worse. Everything changed when Barbara came in," Vivian
As he walked down the stairs that morning, he heard her usual annoying call from the dining table and he sighed in frustration as he headed out of the house with the men. She is the most annoying of them all, he thought as he stepped into the car. He saw her handing a poly bag over to one of the guards and he couldn't believe she was about to bring him food in the office again. As the car drove out, he continued staring at her and he saw her watching as the car drove out. As soon as the car was out of sight, she walked back into the house and headed to the kitchen to meet the maids. She saw Vivian and one of the maids named Sara, preparing to go out. "Heading to where?" She asked. "To get a food item from the local market," Vivian replied. "Oh, I'm definitely coming with you guys. I need to go out of this prison called home" she cried and they laughed. "You want the boss to skin us alive? You can't come with us" Sara protested. "Why not? I've not even stepped foot out
She laid on the couch, thinking about what Adrian would do to her if he returned. One of the maids had earlier informed her about the video that had circulated over the internet that afternoon. She couldn't understand how she had turned into an internet sensation overnight. Was it because she was married to a billionaire? She thought. The footsteps from the foyer jolted her from her thoughts and she jumped out of the couch. She hurried up the stairs immediately and headed into her room, as she couldn't withstand his sight. As she stood in her room pacing around, a knock came on the door and her heart jumped into her stomach. "I'm..I'm..coming," she stammered as she walked over to the door. "Madam Vivi," she panicked as she saw Vivian standing at the door. "Come and serve your husband's food" she said at once. "Me? What food? No I can't. Look, I'm going to bed right now. You should serve the food yourself. You know he doesn't even touch my food" she said immediately. "Rea
She joined him on the balcony as soon as she was done clearing the table. She saw him picking his teeth with a toothpick, while relaxing with his back on the blue single lounge chair. She sat on the chair opposite him and she smiled as she looked out of the balcony into the beautiful surrounding which was looking so peaceful that afternoon. "Thank you for the meal. I've not tasted such good meals for ages" he said and she laughed. "And also, I want to let you know that I enjoyed the meal better with people around me," he added and she smiled as she looked at his face, which had a warm smile. "Thank you," she said and he nodded. He kept silent for a few seconds and then he took a deep breath. "How is life with Adrian?" He asked and her countenance changed. He looked at her and he saw her counting her fingers nervously. "I know what you're going through. You should feel free to tell me how you feel" he said and she sighed. "I'm.. I'm trying to cope, though it hasn
"Don't tell me you actually caught him eating last night?" Bose asked in disbelief as she placed her hand on the dining chair. "I caught him red handed!" She emphasized and the ladies laughed. "Jeez, so he is that smart, to sneak into the kitchen at night to empty the pot" Sara added and they all laughed again. "You need to see the look on his face, he was damn embarrassed!" She continued to relate with excitement as the ladies listened to her with interest. "Well, now that he finally had a taste of your food, there is no going back for him. Because he will surely be locked up in your charms" Vivian put in and they all laughed again. "Now he knows what he's been missing all along," Bose added. "I've never seen him so embarrassed. It felt so good, you know, seeing his face like that. It kind of gives me an edge over him" she said with a smile and they laughed again. As he walked down the stairs with the men, he could hear their laughter from the living room. His heart s
She couldn't help but awe as she stepped into the three storey building which was swimming in so much luxury. A smile appeared on her face as she saw him walking down the spiral stairs, dressed in a casual vintage short sleeve shirt and black pants. "Daughter in-law," he called as he approached her slowly with the aid of his walking stick. "Father," she called with a smile as she made a slight bow before him. He smiled as he saw her beautifully dressed in a white turtleneck top, tucked into a long red skirt. "You're welcome to my small heaven" he said proudly and she giggled. "It's really heaven on Earth" she marveled as she looked around the well furnished living room which was decorated with expensive sofas, a chandelier light and other aesthetic components. "So what do you think? Is it more beautiful than Adrian's?" He asked and she laughed. "They're both beautiful," she said and he smiled. "Come on, you're not getting a rest today. The kitchen is set, and I need you
Their laughter could be heard as they walked into the house. "Welcome home, sir, welcome home, Madam," the servants greeted as they walked past them. "So, did you enjoy your day?" He asked as they walked over to the living room. "Yes, so much" she said while swinging the shopping bags she was holding. He laughed and sat on the sofa. "Come on, I need a sumptuous dinner" he said as he placed his back on the chair tiredly. "Oh, you don't want me to be late for home, father," she said with a smile. "Really? You think I will let you go home tonight?" He asked and her eyes shone. "Father, I didn’t tell Adrian I was going out," she reminded. "And you were going out to where? My place" he said as he stood up. "Hmm, don't you think he might get angry?" She asked anxiously. "Why would he? Does he care about you being around the house?" He asked as he walked over to the stairs. She kept silent with her gaze on the floor. "Hey..are you sad?" He asked as he turned over to look at her.
