Titled: A quest for a wife.
"Wake up "
I jolt out of my little nap and cleaned my eyes. I stared at the two piercing eyes of the young man. With a huff, I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. The drive to the bike store was so boring that i fell asleep.
Now, I was standing in front of a mansion.
"Where am I?"
I asked, confused. This was neither the bike store or did he perhaps take me to his house?.
"Where am I ?" I repeated running my hands over my neck.
He did not answer immediately, he rolled his eyes and knocked on the gate. An older man who I presumed was the gateman opened the gate.
"Good evening, sir"
He greeted.
"Would you open the gate for me? What have you been doing?"
He sounded so rude and he was yelling. I heaved a sigh and got back into the car.
If it's to take the day's off, I would, for that bike.
He entered the car and drove into the mansion. The mansion was exclusively magnificent.
I opened the car and we walked in together into the mansion. Wow....
"Welcome home, son"
A young beautiful woman approached us and kissed him on the cheek. She looked at me and then back at her son.
"Good day, ma'am" I greeted timidly.
"Who's she?, Rowan" She asked him ignoring my greeting and running her eyes over me.
"Someone unimportant"
He replied grumpily and walked over to the sofa infront of us.
"Really?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Mom, just get straight to the point, why did you call me?"
"Yeah. Son"
She started and walked over to him. She sat down beside him and held his right shoulder.
"I need a grandchild" she stated briefly. He removed her hand from his shoulder.
"Just get straight to the point" He yelled.
"I said, i need a grandchild. And i don't care how you do it, I want a grandchild" I don't know if i'm supposed to listen to this conversation.
"I could just have a baby mama and..."
"You dare not. I want a wife. Someone to call my son's wife" She interrupts angrily.
"It won't work. I mean i can't get married. This has always been the reason you called me home"
He said standing up.
"Why don't you get one?,is it Anna?. " she asked. There was silence.
He stared angrily at his mom.
I was enjoying the drama between the mother and her son. Well, rich people have the biggest problem in the world.
He shuddered and look into his mom's eyes.
Whatever they had,is their fucking business. I just need my bike.
"Don't...don't ever mom, mention her name in my presence"
He warned sternly.
I thought as much. I turned around and walked outside. I waited for a long time outside before seeing him walk out in anger. I followed him.
"Why are you following me?" He yelled again.
"Hey, don't you dare yell out like that. I want you to acknowledge some respect." His eyes narrowed.
"What?"
"Well, we had a deal"
I gulped down and looked away.
"I sent you enough money to your bank account. Don't follow me"
He got into his car and drove towards the gate.
How?, how did he get my account number?...

~Next day~
"What's your plan?, Aubrey"
Isla asked after I narrated to her my encounter with the rich dude.
I was overwhelmed after withdrawing the cash I had on my account. I counted out my savings and the money for bike, then took the remaining money home.
"I'll return the money"I finally replied.
"A nice decision. What if he refuses to take the money?" She asked.
"I'll drop it infront of him and leave"
she shook her head.
"How do you get him?"
She questioned and silence fell into the room. "I don't know the address to the estate. We might get lucky to identify his house."
"But the mansions at the estate looks alike. I don't want to walk under the sun and come back without results." She stated and grabbed her phone.
"I don't know anything about him apart from his name"
I mumbled quietly.
"What's his name?"
"Rowan"
"Rowan Adam?"
She asked.
"I don't know." She laughed.
"What's funny?"
"Impossible" She sprang up to her feet instantly.
"Why are you acting strange?"
"Rowan Adam is a business tycoon. He runs so many businesses and has a lot of companies"She replied and I rolled my eyes.
"Anyone can go by the name." I told her and looked away. There was silence. Rowan Adam is a very popular dude. He has assets and companies under his name. The Adams family were very rich, i've not met any of his family member but many had because Mrs Adam runs a charity home.
My classmates talks about Rowan all the time so i've heard little about him from them.
"Look, is he the one?" She asked showing me a picture on her phone.
"Exactly. This is the handsome jerk"
I answered taking the phone away from her.
"Is he the Rowan you've been crushing on?" I was bewildered.
"Yes. Wait, did you talked with him?, what's he like?"
Isla smiled.
I rolled my eyes and returned the phone.
" I hope you know the location to his office because we're going there together before mom comes back" I finally told her and checked my time. It was past 12 in the afternoon. I looked at the giggling Isla and scoffed. Always drooling on men. I don't know what she saw in them.
"I'm gonna see Rowan Adam today, yeee"
She chatted happily. I shook my head sadly. If only she knows how rude he is.

~Mrs Adam~
I banged into his office and walk over to a seat opposite him.
He stared at me for awhile and looked away.
"You can't just bang into my office,Mom " He grumpily said.
"I do what i want, Rowan"
"What do you want?"
"Good question. We discussed something yesterday and since then, you've not been picking my calls"
"You don't expect me to do that, do you?"
"I......." The door opened shutting me up.
His secretary walked in.
"Sir, a lady is here to see you" The secretary said.
"Bring her in"
He ordered glaring at me. I glared back at him and he looked away.
"You"
I turned back to see who he was referring to.
A very beautiful young girl stood as they looked deadly at each other.
"Yeah, I came back since you intruded my privacy without letting me know"
The lady answered.
I wonder what was going on between them.
It's very rare to see Rowan with a woman.
"I gave you enough money"
"Yeah, without my permission"
She told him and walked more closer to us. She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and watched Rowan closely. He bit his lip and ruffled his hair.
"I brought back your money, i'm not some gold digger. We don't beg on the streets, and we cater very well for ourselves."She carried the bag from the other girl and dropped it on her table.
"But i didn't say you were a gold digger"
She scoffed.
"I don't wanna see someone like you ever in my life. Punk.."
She left drawing her friend with her.
"Wow..." I couldn't help but muttered loudly.
"Mom, she's mad" Seeing that i wasn't giving any comment, he said.
" I can't fulfill your promise to get you a wife. If you want to make me get a wife, fine. Find a lady and I will marry her for you."My eyes beamed when he said that.
"Don't worry. I've found your match". I said ...smiling..
Title: Introduction to a marriage proposal~Rowan's pov~Like seriously?, she returned the money. I kept staring at the money in front of me. I had called Zack to come to my office quickly after mom left."Manny, you cal...ugh..why that look?" He asked from the door."Come take a look" I mumbled.He walk close to me and looked into the bag."All I see is money" He says crossing his hands."The bike girl was here"I told him. He looked a little bit surprised."For?, I thought you payed her, man""She..fuckingly returned the money, Zack""What?, you mean you gave her that much and she returned it""Isn't that weird?, she wants to show off with nothing, lowlife" I cursed."No, I find it amusing, no girl would do that""Strange right?.""Yeah. She's different."I rolled my eyes. I don't know, it was always useless speaking to Zack.He thinks the opposite.
Title: Persuaded~Mrs Adam~I waited patiently for Rowan to come. I was excited at the news i was about to break to him. Finally, I've found a wife, not only a wife but someone that could bring happiness to my son's life. Although i found out they were not in good terms with each other but I believe it would turn to love someday.Rowan walked into the sitting room with his phone at his right hand and the other hand dipped into his pocket. He heaved a long sigh before sitting on the cushion."You looked relieved to see me"He spoke before sitting opposite me."Yeah, at a time I couldn't wait to break the news to you"I said excitedly."You've found a wife"I looked surprised."How did you know?" I asked bewilderedly."Only that could make you smile"He replied, not without rolling his eyes."Well. You're right. I've found a wife for you. " I started."Okay""And you know her"I con
Title: Tricked into begging her~Rowan's pov~I walk inside and didn't find mom anywhere. I met Miriam come out of the kitchen. "Miriam.""Good day, sire. I want to talk to you about mrs Adam.""Go on.""Mrs Adam has refused to take her meal since morning. She had herself locked up in her room and had told me never to disturb her again."I ran upstairs to her door and knocked loudly at her door. I heard a sob and began knocking and pushing the door. "Mom, open the door, please." I begged."Mrs Adam, wait. I have the spare key" Miriam said behind. I turned and quickly snatched the keys from her. I inserted the key and pushed the door open. What I saw in the room left my mouth hanging open. Her room has been kept upside down, her mirror, the pillows torn into pieces made my heart beat increased thinking she must had hurt herself."Mom."
Title: Rejected his proposal.I walk out of the bathroom and sighed, knowing that what I'm about to do is very new to me. I've never been comfortable conversing with a guy not to talk of going out for a date, though i wouldn't call this a date.I had to ransack into a pile of clothes in my closet and finally settled on the very simple gown my mom got me on my last birthday.Coming out of the bathroom to the sitting room, I met him tapping his foot on the floor as he impatiently wait for me. He turned and looked at me, and for a moment i noticed how handsome he looked in his casual wear. I noticed his look on me and averted an eye contact."You're here. Finally." He says checking his wrist watch. I gulped down and looks at mom who has been grinning from ear to ear, giving me funny looks. "I don't hate you after all." I said to her and found myself exiting the sitting room.
Title: Finally accepted him.Aubrey's POVIt's been three days of rejecting and running away from Rowan Adam. I thought he would give up and decides to get married to someone else.My phone rings for the umpteenth time today and i almost threw my phone away. "You don't have to ignore my calls." I heard this deep baritone voice says behind me. I turned and gasped when i saw Rowan leaning against the wall with folded arms. His enchanting eyes piercing into my skin, I gulped down and turned back to my phone."Stop ignoring me, cutie." I bite my lips and turned back to him. "What are you doing here?" I asked. He gave a smirk and pushed down his face cap which i was grateful for, incase students comes out and sees us maybe recognizes him,therefore causing a scene."Stay away from me." I shunned him and walked ahead of him. I felt him walking behind and instantly i was lifted off the ground in
Title: The dinner with my in-laws.Today is another different day for me, a new week has begun and no day passed without a gift packaged infront of my doorstep, a gift from my soon to be in-laws.I didn't know a wedding preparation could be this tedious as I was forced to go on a date, have fun which I don't enjoy with Rowan's friends, eat and invite friends and relatives for the wedding.Another was being drag to church for classes which I had to wait everyday for my gracious fiance to show up. And today, i was gonna have dinner with my soon to be inlaws.I walked slowly behind mom as we walked together into the compound. Looking around, I had to be reminded that this was when it all started, from the restaurant to this mansion."C'mon. Be fast"Mom urged while i just rolled my eyes."If you can't smile, force it"Isla whispered."It's not funny. I'm actually gonna get
Title: My wedding dress~Isla's pov~I angrily studied Rey's face. Oh gosh!. Who wouldn't want to be in her shoes?. A young sexy, rich business man was going to get married to her in three days and she's all moody about it.Just take a look at her wardrobe, it was all filled with assorted clothes, shoes and bags.Do you wanna speak of her mother's coffee shop?, it's a very big coffee shop, coupled with the fact that Mrs cox had made it a restaurant lately. All these happened in just few days..not that I'm jealous but who wouldn't be jealous? Ughhhhh!!!."What's with the face?" Rey asked me."I'm jealous of you"I confessed and looked away. She scoffed."Jealous of what?, the clothes?, or MR Jackass?" She asked back like she read my mind and I laughed."Babe. Listen, all these," She points towards the wardrobe. " It's for us. I cannot use all of these, that would be extremely bad of me, if I do so.""Really?, I wou
Title: Bridal shower.~Aubrey's pov~Finally we were back, Kadee had drove us straight to her house to see Mrs Adam who had been hell bent on seeing my wedding dress.We walked in together into the mansion and met Mrs Adam and her second son, finn discussing at the sitting room. As soon as their eyes met us, they kept quiet and watched us come closer."You guys went to shop?" She asked quizzically looking at our big shopping bags."Actually, it's her wedding dress." Kadee replies and went to sit beside her mum. I followed her behind instantly. "Really?. With those big bags?"Finn asked with a grin."None of your business, finn. " Kadee soleumly replied him and opened the bag. She brought out the wedding dress and mrs Adam gasped."Don't tell me you chosed this for her?."She grabs the dress and looks at it."I loved it" I told her.She turned to Kadee expecting her for an answer. "Come on. This.." She flips i
