Lois’s POV

I drove into Jacob’s compound with the full police force behind me. It was finally time to put him and his daughter in their place. He came out with his wife and daughter because of all the commotions. He looked shocked and surprised when he saw me come down from my car. I would pay a hundred grand to see that expression on his face again.

‘What are you doing here?’ his scrawny daughter said with her annoying voice.

‘To make you pay’ I said subtly. She moved closer to me and glared hard in my face.

‘Do you know who my father is?’ she asked, and I looked over at the so-called father of hers. He looked terrified and in shock. I looked back at her and raised my brows with a smirk.

‘Yes I do, a pervert’ I spat in her face, and she slapped me. I held my face and let out a smirk.

‘Nicole’ her dad said in a whisper.

‘No dad, let me treat this wench a lesson’ she said as she dug her hands into my hair and dragged me backwards. The police officers wanted to make a move, but I stop

  • In Love with my husband.    This can not be happening.

    Lois’ s POVIt was finally the day of our wedding announcement party. Guests were pouring in from all directions. The biggest hall in the city was used, and still, it was filled to the brim with guests. The power of influence and wealth. I only knew half of the people here. They were my business associates, and the other half didn’t even look familiar. I got to invite very few people, and my parent’s did the rest. It was my party but I had a little influence over it, typical of my parents.I looked into the crowd to see if I could spot Zach anywhere, but I did not. Instead, I saw Mr Jacob’s wife. Bold of her to show her face here when her husband and daughter are sitting pretty in jail. I think she felt eyes on her because she spotted me and started walking towards my direction with a disgusted glare.‘What are you doing here?’ she asked as she pulled me suspiciously like I was an intruder.‘I should be asking you that question’ I said as I yanked my hands away from her grip.‘Did yo

    I rushed outside the hall to catch a breath. The cool breeze hit my skin and felt a sense of relief wash all over me. I felt so confused and torn. Is it even possible to like two people at the same time? Oh my goodness, I did not know what to do.I definitely need this trip to Paris to get my head straight. A cigarette would have calmed my nerves now, but I did not have any on me.‘Miss Anderson’ a voice screamed towards me, disengaging me from my thoughts. I turned and saw Mr Jacob’s wife running towards me with full speed. I was in no mood to entertain her now, but it was already too late as she was already in front of me, panting heavily, with sweat dripping all over her body.‘Glad I caught up with you,' she said and let out a dry laugh. I was so annoyed by her presence, she was the last person I wanted to see right now. Minutes earlier I looked forward to this moment but I was in no mood for that now‘Get to the point’ I said dryly as I rolled my eyes.‘I am here to apologize, I

    Lois’s POV I looked out the window on the drive home. The city looked peaceful, like the drive home. Aaron was unusually quiet. He liked to nag a lot and annoy me, but now it was like he didn’t know what to say to me, not that I was complaining. I was drowning in the peace and quiet and couldn't wait to get home and sleep. Shortly after we arrived at the mansion, my parents picked out for us. It was a tall building, fine structure, small, but it will do. It should have at least two bedrooms from this structure i am seeing. Nothing compared to what I have, but it will do until I get a divorce. We walked inside in silence. Aaron looked a little bit pale, like he was scared of something, his perfect hair was in sliight disarray, which suited him quiet well, I couldn’t shake the feeling that him feeling down had something to do with me. I felt a slight ting of joy just thinking about it. ‘Here is the contract’ I said, handing him a brown envelope the minute we arrived ins

    Lois POV ‘‘What the fuck are you doing here?’’ I asked with my eyes wide open and the blanket covering my body. I was furious and agitated. ‘‘This was the only room available’’ he blurted out. oh my goodness. My parents really had to stoop this low and how can a house like this have only one room? Jesus, I was infuriated. They had to go out of their way to make me miserable even in their absence. I am sure this was my mum’s doing, I could bet with my life that it was hers. ‘‘And what gave you the right to come in and lay on the bed’’. I asked furiously ‘Excuse me?’ he asked with a confused glance. ‘You could have laid on the floor or the couch for all I care’ I said, and he looked at me weirdly, scoffed, and just left, without a word. Good riddance. Who did he think he was? Just because he was the richest man in the country doesn’t mean he gets to act the way he wants around me. I wasn’t that small naive girl his friends bullied anymore. I was the heiress to the second

    Aaron’ POV The drive home after the wedding was silent and calm, I looked over at Lois and saw that she was more relaxed than she was at the wedding. I felt relieved. I know that she hated me, which isn’t entirely my fault, but it's still my fault. My friends were jerks to her in high school, and I couldn’t do anything about it.I wanted to buty hands were tied. She was an easy target to bully's in high school, so she was bullied. I hated her bully's so much, but there was nothing i could do to them, and it pained me so much till date. You might be wondering why I stayed friends with bully's even though I hated them so much. Their dads were all strong investors in my dads, and they were all strong investors in my company at that time, so I couldn’t do anything to provoke them. Not that it is an excuse, she was my betrothed and I could have done something, but I didn’t because I was trying to keep my company together. My father forced me to be friend's with them and even forced m

    Aaron’s POV"What the fuck are you doing here’" she asked me angrily, looking at me in disbelief.‘This was the only room available’ I said tiredly as i was just waking up. Her eyes sparked, what I said made her more angry and agitated, if looks could kill I would be 6 foot under the ground now. Thank God it couldn’t.‘And what gave you the right to come in and lay on the bed?’ she asked catching me off guard. I felt offended. ‘Excuse me?’ I questioned immediately.‘You could have laid on the floor or the couch for all I cared’ she said and I scoffed and I immediately left the room and house. I was angry but I couldn’t show my anger, not in front of her.The thought of her face when she was angry calmed me down a little. Her messy hair and a little drool by the side of her lips. It only made her prettier, her face appeared before me, and I smiled. Even though I was angry at her, I couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was.I drove to my house to freshen up.

    Lois’ POVI stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind me. My heart was pounding, and my hands were shaking. I was so mad I could barely breathe. I couldn’t believe I had let my guard down like that. I let him kiss me. Worse, I kissed him back. I couldn’t even say he forced me because I responded. And that made me even angrier—with him, yes, but more with myself.How could I be so stupid?The drive home took about an hour, but it felt longer. My thoughts were all over the place. I kept replaying the kiss in my mind. His hands, his lips, the way he looked at me. I hated it. I hated that it felt good. I was supposed to be in control. This marriage wasn’t real. It was just a deal. But now I wasn’t sure anymore, and that scared me.I pulled into the driveway and parked. I sat in the car for a minute, trying to calm down. I was hoping to come home, lie in bed, cry maybe, and just be alone for a while.But the second I looked up and saw a very familiar black car in front of the hous

    Lois’s POVIt was Thursday and it was finally time to go shopping for a dress. I would just get the dress I need for the damn party, when I get to Paris I would shop new clothes to wear there. I was surprised when I heard I was going to Paris for the honeymoon, I thought we would just stay at home for a week before going back to work. I was not against the idea, I loved it. I have always wanted to go to Paris, it was my long awaited dream, but I never had to time to go since I was always so occupied with work not that money was ever the problem. I had dreams of staying in a five star hotel in Paris, going to a restaurant in the morning to have croissant and coffee for breakfast, going to see the Eiffel tower and of course having the time of my life in Paris.It is well-known to be the city of lovers, so that would make sense why my parents picked it out for us to go for our honeymoon, it would speak well to the press and will be good publicity for them. Typical.I rolled my eyes and

There is a lot of pending paperwork to sign, deals to seal. Today certainly was not my best day, I just needed a clear head and a noise free environment to work.That would have been possible if my dad was not in my office right now, blabbing about how the wedding announcement party would go and how we are to leave for Paris the next day for our honeymoon. Leaving work right now was the last thing on my mind, I basically neglected work last week and have a whole lot to do, and now I have to neglect work for a whole week again. I was not having it.But on the other hand leaving work for a week with Lois to go to Paris would not be such a bad thing. We would get to bond better, and I can use that serene environment to finally apologize and make things up to her. Get closer to her and just have the time of our lives away from all these shenan

People are moving in all directions and voices coming from all directions. It was going to be the biggest party of the year, my parents would make sure of it, the kind of energy that was not poured into my wedding would be poured into this party in ten folds.Rich men and women from all over the world would be there. The biggest hall would be used, and reporters from all over the country would be there. People would finally know who I am and what I look like. Well, just people who have not seen me before.I still had not secured the deal with Zach. It seemed so sure before he discovered who I was. I still hope I get it badly because without that deal, my company would fall into third place, and I could not let that happen. The deal would solidify our position. The deal with Mr Jacob would have elevated our position, but who would hav

    Aaron’s PovI don’t know what happened or how I got here, but I was standing in front of Chloe’s house defeated. I sluggishly dragged myself to her front door and rang the bell. I needed to be with someone now, someone who was not Lois. A mistake? Last night was a life changing experience to me, and she had the audacity to cal it a mistake, UNHINGED. I felt devastated and defeated. I did not know why I was in Chloe’s house. But I was. Lois made me feel we had something going on, with the way she was always angry whenever I was with Chloe. I was so stupid and naive to even think that she felt something for me. I should have known better. Now that she clarified that last night was a mistake. I can now see clearly.She has always hated me and will not stop anytime soon. I did not know the extent of her anger for me, but this just proved it is much more than i thought. It is always about her and never anyone else, I was so angry, so furious.She opened the door, and her eyes slowly met

    Aaron’s POVI woke up to an empty bed. Lois was gone. Memories of last night came flooding in, and a smile formed on my face. I could still hear her screaming for me, and it felt good. Last night still does not define what we were. I still haven’t apologized properly, so I doubt she has forgiven me. But last night was a need. The tension between us was too strong, and we needed to burn the steam off.I stood up from the bed and stretched lazily. I looked down and saw I was erected, just the thought of Lois was doing this to me. I walked towards the bathroom, entered, and did my business. Today was a Sunday, so there was no work and no where to go to. Although I was not going to work, I still had a lot of work to do.I got a letter that the restraining order I filed against Chloe was finally here. I was relieved, I had to get it to her today, I don’t need her ruining things between me and Lois anymore.I quickly got dressed and headed out. I entered the car and drove off. I made a quic

Zach was waiting for me there.He came back to the country recently and wanted to apologize for not making it to my wedding. I would not call him my friend exactly, but we were pretty close. He was the boss of his own, so his parents had no relation with my parents and I was really glad about that.He inspires me a lot, to be honest, to be free and not in the clutches of his parents' will. He gets to do what he wants. However, he wants to. I pulled up at the hotel and handed my car over to the valet. I proceeded to the room he told me he would be.I entered the elevator and proceeded to the third floor. Ladies around me kept throwing me weird glances. I just looked forward and ignored them. When I got to the floor, I walked till I located the room. I inserted the key I was given in the reception to open
