A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 10
We finally arrived at the airport and were ushered to a packing spot away from the arriving and departing crowd. I began to wonder if he owned a private jet. I can’t believe how nice the other percentage of life is.The time on the dashboard read exactly 7.30pm. Luke got out of the car to make and take some calls and judging from where I sat, he seemed to be very angry at whoever he was talking to. He came back into the car ten minutes after with a loud sigh, hitting his head softly on the steering wheel. I guess it was probably an attempt to calm himself down.I glanced at the dashboard once more and the time read 8pm. I wondered what got Luke so worked up, perhaps something bad had happened to William?Even if I didn’t know William personally, I couldn't help being worried because Luke looks like he is really stressed out about something and I didn't know how to ask Luke to confirm or deny my assumptions.I glanced at him once more. Maybe he had felt my eyes on him because he immed

Luke dropped off Henry at his apartment building before driving to William’s place. By the time we arrived at William’s large black gate, the time on the dashboard read 10.30pm.William opened his gate remotely with his phone and Luke drove in. “Wow,” i say in a tone that only i could hear.This is more a mansion than house, it was so beautiful i couldn’t help but amazed by the well trimmed and maintained lawn. The low grass looked so g-green. Luke drove into the outside garage which was at the side of the house and parked his car after which we alighted from it.If I wasn’t jealous of the lawn, the house certainly got me jealous, how rich was this guy?The architect who built this house deserves accolades. The southern architecture of the building was done to perfection and the grand double stairs that led to the entrance just gave the three story building an exquisite feel.William led the way and we followed him as we climbed the staircase up to the main entrance. He unlocks his

The warm rays of the sun streaming through the windows gently stirred me up from my sleep. I don’t think i have ever slept so comfortably. I wish I could just pack up this bed into my bag and take it home with me.A knock in the door interrupted my crazy thoughts.“You can come in.” I say to the person at the other side of the door. A woman who I'd estimate to probably be around fifty or above, entered the room. She was wearing a black gown that extended below her knees with sneakers on her feet and she carried two shopping bags in her hands. I immediately sat up “Good morning, Ma’m.” “Good morning dear, I hope you have a good night's rest.” She asks, walking over to my side of the bed and proceeds to sit at the edge.“ I did. Thank you very much, the bed is extremely soft.” She gave off a homey and comfortable space with her smile. Making me feel like i could tell her anything without worries.“ I’m Agatha.”“Bailey.” I said introducing myself.“I know William informed me about yo

“And you didn’t even tell me you gonna go out yesterday.” Shayna whines through the phone.“H-Hold up, hold up Shay! which magazine article, where did you come across it? Don’t just leave me hanging! Spill the details. I say frantically.“Ok, we are definitely switching to a video call.” She says as I see a request for a video call which I picked up immediately.“Damn girl! you look gorgeous, are you going somewhere? Come on, let me see the full outfit.” She says whilst a wolf whistle and I did as requested.“Yes i-stay on track here Shay.”“Yeah! Yeah! So I was saying… uhm what was i saying exactly Bails?” She asks and I roll my eyes.“Seriously Shay! The magazine article?” I remind her.“Oh yeahh, first things first Bails, you never told me anything about picking him up from the airport, it really hurt my feelings that i had to find out about the news from a flimsy magazine rather than from my own best friend, it was so not cool Bails”“Ohh, i am so so so sorry Shay, i was so caught

“Lol, um i don't know who you think you are but nobody sees the big boss without an appointment or at least a visitors card, so please stop wasting my time and just leave already.” She said, giving me a nasty scowl.Ignoring what she had just said, I rummage through my bag in search of the card to bring it out to show her. “Do you mean this card?” I asked, waving it in front of her face.“W-Where did you get this f-from? Only people who know the b-big boss personally have access to that.” she asks, giving me a scared and doubtful look.“Well, Luke gave it to me the last time I was here.” She just nods dismissively and brings out a book.“Your name?” she asks rudely.“Bailey Simmons.” I respond as she writes it down.“The card?” She asks, stretching out her palm for me to place it on it. She checks the number on it and writes it in a book before handing it back to me.“Please sign here ma’am.” She says pointing at a blank space. I was so shocked by her sudden change of attitude but I di

“What things?” I ask almost immediately. I was already feeling skeptical, why didn’t they tell me all this information before I signed the contract?“It’s nothing to worry about. They are just little things that would have to happen before the wedding.”“Okay and those things are?” I ask“Well-” Luke says pausing to bring out his phone which I believe was where the list was.“-The both of you would have to be seen in public a few times before the wedding. Henry, do we have any events coming up?” Luke asks, turning his attention to Henry.Henry glances at the tab in his hand before replying. “None, but- um there is that art gallery that always sends an invite to Mr. Armani annually for his attendance at their charity art show that takes place every year but he always notifies me to decline so I'd already taken it upon myself to decline their invitation for this year's show. We also have the annual Charity Foundation for the Homeless.”“Hmm. Bailey, I hope you love art.” Luke says facin

“Good afternoon Mr Cedrick.” I say as I enter the car. I really don't think this man likes me very much because he started driving without saying a word to me, ignoring my greetings.Cedrick drove as we sat in an uncomfortable silence with only the sound of the wind dancing around the car playfully tousling my hair and the trees heard in the background, i actually started wished that he had played his usual old people playlist on the radio today.Cedrick stopped in front of my apartment building jolting out of my thoughts and my phone started buzzing in my bag as I alighted from the car, Cedrick drove off without a word, “what a strange man.” I mumbled as I reached into my bag to get my phone. It was Shayna calling.“Hi, Shay, how are you?” I ask as I make my way to my apartment “Bails, Meet me at the grocery store next to your apartment in umm.. Twenty minutes STAT!!” Shayna says, ending the call abruptly.“Ughh-i can't believe she's going to make me go back outside today! Can't I ju
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 17
I was jolted awake by the annoyingly loud buzzing of my phone. The loud sound disturbed the peaceful silence that was in the room, rudely awakened me from my dreamless state. I groan and glance at the window. The sun hasn’t even risen yet. Who the hell was even awake at such an ungodly hour? I pick up the device and slide accept without even looking at the caller ID.“Good morning bailey.” Hazel's voice slices through the silence in the room, I put my phone off speaker and made my way into the living room to avoid stirring up Shayna.“It’s certainly not a good one anymore.” I mumble as i settle down on Shayna’s couch“Uhh? Can you repeat what you just said, I didn't quite get you.”“Ignore it, I wasn’t referring to you.” I lied“Good morning Hazel, how are you doing? Is there something you need help with?”“Um i am fine__no i was just calling you in advance to know firsthand if you had anything planned today?”“It depends. Do you need me for anything?”“Yes, I actually do…um, I am s
