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." I yelled and ran to the bed, I pulled off the bed cover and helped her sit up as she rested her head on my chest. "Mom, what's wrong?. Why are you crying?" I asked checking her up for bruises.
"Leave me alone." She cried.
"Why?. What have I done?" I asked.
"Leave me. No one wants me to have a grand child. Leave me."
"What are you saying?. You have Aubrey. She's ever ready to marry me if you talk to her"
She broke into a wail and pushed me away. "Mom. You're acting strange. What are you doing?" I yelled. She ignored me and wailed on.
"Okay. Fine. What happened?. I'm sorry for yelling, please."
She turned and looked at me. "Aubrey has refused to marry you"
"What?"
"Reasons that you acted rude towards her without apologizing." She started crying again.
"What?. Do you mean she said that?"I asked, surprised.
"I want you to marry Aubrey. I want Aubrey."
" But she refused. "
"She's the one i want. I don't want any other girl. I want Aubrey" She whimpered. I ran my hands over my hair and sighed.

"What do you do?. " Zack asked as well we waited patiently for Zoe to serve the meal. "I have no choice than to look for Aubrey"
"Mrs Adam is really a drama queen. She's really an actress." Zack laughed.
"She was an actress. Don't you remember?" Zoe asked coming into the discussion. She made Kyle sit opposite her and started dishing out food for us. "But, uhm..she's right. Rowan, you have to give the old woman a grand child, and you're not getting younger either."
"Keep your advice to yourself." I said and started eating.

~Aubrey's pov~
"Mom. Leave me alone. If it's important to him, he'd be standing all day in my door."
"A rich man doesn't beg Aub. This is important to us, you know"
As I made to leave, she dragged me back and grabbed my clothe. " Mom, you will tear my shirt."
"Then you buy another one." I scoffed. "You and i knows that the only money brought to this house barely made out to the next day, leave my clothe alone." I shouted. Proven stubborn, we started dragging my clothe until she finally tired out the hem. She looked at me and sighed as I glared at her.
A cleared throat made me turn behind to see the owner of the voice. Isla stands with her mouth open and moved behind to reveal Rowan Adam.
I looked at mom who was already smiling at the young man, and didn't say a word to him. "Let's go, Isla." I dragged her hand and we started leaving. "Aubrey, come back here."
"I'm late for work " I shouted and put on my helmet. "Rey. Your fiance is here." Isla whispers. I ignored her and rode off.
I knocked lightly at Mrs. Maria's door. A young girl opens the door. "Hey, I'm here to see…"
I paused seeing Mrs Maria with a mug, standing behind. "Good morning, Mrs Marie."
"I'm afraid to tell you, Aubrey. Your service is no longer needed."
"What?. You can't.." They shut the door in my face. "You can't do this Mrs Marie. I'm sorry, please" I shouted and continued hitting on the door. "Leave my door before I unleash my dogs on you, Aubrey." She shouted from inside.
I turned around and left.
………………………
I drove home and packed my ride beside my dad's old car. I walk to my door and opened it. I saw mom on the cushion discussing with Rowan. I have no idea what he was doing here.
"You're back?. So soon" Mom says with a glint of happiness in her eyes. "Yeah. I'm back." Note the sarcasm.
"What happened?." She asked, nonchantly. "I was fired again, mom. All thanks to you and you." I pointed at each one of them and she gasped. I walked into my room and fell flat on my bed.
My life has become a living hell since i met Rowan. He has made everything i ever worked collasp right under my nose. It has become from one problem to another with my mom. We almost quarrel everyday, ate once in a day, at times we don't play games anymore. A knock was heard at my door and i turned towards it. "Don't come in." I grumpled out.
The door creaked open and mom pops in her head. "I can come in?"
I rolled my eyes. "I said don't" She steps in and closes it behind. She walked up to the bed and sits.
"I'm sorry Aubrey." I raised my head, surprised. "Of what?"
"I'm sorry that I'm making this hard for you," I smiled. "And it doesn't mean I'm not letting you marry him" She added. I groaned and laid back down.
"When your dad left, i promised to give you the best of life."
"And is this your way of giving me the best of life."
She chuckled. "It is. Rowan Adam is the richest man in Chicago. Isn't it?. "
"Getting married to the man I despise so much isn't the best of life." I told her.
"Aubrey. Enough of this, if you ever love me, come out dressed for a lunch with him, if you don't...just disown me as your mother." She got up.
"Really?. Are we doing this now?" She ignored me, opened the door and leaves.
Mom, you won't win this..
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.

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

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.

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
Title: My wedding day.~Rowan's POV~I was getting married today. Something i've never dreamt of having even in the next few years to come. I've always wished myself a happy wedding until that witch took my happiness away. I scrunch my face in disgust when I taught of her. " Thinking of her right?" My best man asked. "Everything reminds me of her""Do you still love her?" I looked at him and scoffed. "I hate her more than anything in this world" I grit my teeth in anger. "Calm down man. She's gone and ain't coming back." He taps my shoulder and walked towards the door. Just when he opens the door, he said "Let's go get married, bro."I watched my uncle, moses at the door waiting for my annoying bride. I wished I'd turn back and walk away from this everlasting burden mom was going to put me through. But if I ever'd, I'll consider myself dead before my mama gets to meet me at home. I knew
Title: I slapped him.I had woken up so early in the morning and gone out for a jog. It has been three days after my marriage with Rowan. I had to admit that the house was extremely boring without him, i didn't see anyone to fight with nor play my pranks on though the last one led him into a sick bed. This morning, i woke up early to jog as i had not stepped out of mansion since I came, I wasn't used to staying alone either."Hey, cutie" I stopped and look back to see a smiling Finn."Good morning"I greeted and resumed jogging while he followed behind. "Good morning. What's up?, you seemed..worried.""Do I look worried?" I asked."You're not happy, anyone could see that." He replies. I'm not ready to discuss with anyone right now. I wanted time alone, and that's why I got away from home, and this was the first discussion I was having with my husband's brother and I didn't want him to think of me as a rude s
Title: Trip to Dubai.~Rowan's pov~I know i fucked up, I really'd fucked up. Gosh! I can't believe i said those things to her. And she had completely avoided me like a plague. I don't see her smile, i don't see her talk to mother, or even Kadee. She just avoided everyone. When she came inside to room, I dropped down on my knee as Zack instructed. She ignored me and wanted to walk away until I pressed further. "Aubrey. Listen pls..." She stopped and kept her arms akimbo. "Face me please"She was stubborn. I heaved a long sigh and got up, i turned her around. She looked away. "Please, look me" She rolled her eyes. "I know you want to prove stubborn, please for the sake of our married life." She snapped her head glaring dangerously at me."I'm sorry" I apologized immediately. "You're sorry for what?" I bite my lips awkwardly unable to drop a word.She huffed and tried to leave, i grabbed her arm. She turned and what she did next confused me. An unexp
