SERENA
“Nice meeting...you all” I stammered as they all introduced themselves including *Devon*. I could feel my heart beating fast as I tried really hard not to maintain eye contacts with Devon.
Never have I ever thought that I would be seeing him again. Even if I had to see him, isn’t this too dramatic!.
*is Von the person they tagged as young master or Tyler??* I queried within myself. *it had better be Tyler cause I won’t have my life on a thin rope cause of a one night stand*
“Are you sure you are okay?” I heard a voice ask and it turned out to be Sharon’s. Realizing I had been staring at my laps for too long, I raised my face up to meet her questioning brows.
“Fine…I’m fine” I replied shabbily playing with my pinky finger.
“Well Serena, this is Devon my son” Gonzalez introduced making my heartbeat drop at that moment. I switched my gaze slowly and steadily from Sharon to Devon who was also staring at me but soon looked away.
“And that his Tyler his best friend” he added and I found myself nodding slowly. “And that is Sharon my P.A” he concluded and I pressed my lips together in fear before grabbing a glass of water which I gulped down immediately.
*how the hell do I explain the fact that I Fvcked his son*
*How I’m I married to father but has fucked son??!*
*how do I live under the same mansion with them??*
*how do I cope with this old man that looks like he could snap anyones neck at his own will*
How do i escape this unforeseen pain and drama??* I queried within that I didn’t know when I mistakenly pushed the cup nervously on the table which fell to the floor breaking in the process.
I shuddered in fear staring at the mess I had just made.
“Are you okay?” Von was quick to ask. One piece from the broken glass had pierced my skin but it wouldn’t be necessary telling Von that I had hurt myself. I ignored his question and apologized for the mess I had created instead.
“I’m sorry…I placed the cup wrongly” I tried coming up with a more suitable apology
“Just be careful with things here. They are way expensive than you think. Still not sure your father would have been able to afford that cup.” Gonzalez chipped in while Sharon chuckled sarcastically obviously enjoying the free show. I kept quite and turned to stare at her.
She had a victorious glare like we had been rivals.
“Can…can we just eat? I and Devon were busy before dinner and would like to get back to work” Tyler uttered.
“Sure let’s eat” Gonzalez approved picking up his cutlery. Before coming out for the so called dinner, I had been really famished but right now as it seems I lost my appetite already.
I exhaled sharply before stretching my hand to pick up my spoon.
“You are so going to love this food. It must be your very first time tasting something as spicy and stylish as this right?” Sharon remarked obviously trying to make me banter words with her. But I knew better than the stunt she was trying to pull since I had other things like Von already occupying my mind.
“I must have been correct then” she added with her mouth full of beef trying to make a topic since no one had said anything about her last statement.
“Table manners please” I was forced to say…
“Yeah table manners” Tyler added.
I shoved some potatoes into my mouth as I munched quietly trying not to get anyones attention to me.
After forcing some foods on me, I concluded it was high time I left the table to figure myself out.
“Uh…I’m filled. I’ll be going back to my room now” I stated after drinking some juice.
“You barely even finished any bowl. Are you sure something is not wrong somewhere on this table” Sharon retorted with her tongue visibly tucked to the left side of her cheek.
“She just got here Sharon and you should mind your business” Gonzalez responded.
“I’m sorry sir” she apologized immediately sending death glares to me which I never understood since it was just my first time meeting her. Or maybe she just dislikes me at first sight.
“You can retire to your room and might as well get prepared for tonight” Gonzalez stated and I felt my stomach churn at his words.
I stood up dreadfully from my chair.
“Not that way!, the elevator is on the other side” Sharon uttered from the dinner table and I figured out I was about moving in the wrong direction.
“Thank you” I mouthed to myself. In haste, I hurried away.
Stepping into the elevator, I led out a deep breathe with my hands tightly clutching my chest.
“Dang!” I said to myself in a whispering tone with tears clouded in my eyes.
I had been holding back grieves all those while on that dinner table with Devon!
*what if Gonzalez finds out about what had transpired?* I thought in fear cause I was sure he was not going to spare me even if he spares his son. Or what if he decides to take them out on my parents…
I closed my eyes tightly as I allowed the tears to flow down freely.
DEVONJust as I was about taking an excuse to leave the table with Tyler, my dad stood up making me stop right on track.“I’m done eating as well. And since it’s going to be a very long night, I have to get myself prepared” he stated with a grin as I balled my fist quietly. I simply nodded and watched him leave the dinner table.Taking a long lasting glance at Tyler, he walks out of the dinner room.I sniffed while Sharon clears her throat. Suspicious of her behavior, I turned to her with a questioning brow“What a wife Gonzalez has gotten for himself” Sharon remarked obviously trying to start up a conversation about Serena.“Can’t you guys see that everything about her is just too suspicious…I mean, she’s just too bad at acting” she added rendering me speechless. I had nothing to say about her statement. She can’t relate and nothing is going to make me let her relate to what is going on. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” She queried in frustratingly.“Simply there is nothing to sa
DEVONI was standing at the back of the mansion with Tyler at the other end where he could be hardly seen.“Do you think she’s going to come?” I turned to ask Tyler at the same time looking to see if there was any sign of her.“She is going to show up trust me. She wouldn’t want to piss Gonzalez up” he replies leaning against the hard wall while I just nodded still, hoping for her to show up. Soon enough, I sighted her walking behind the maid who soon stopped leading the way. Urging her to move forward to where I was standing“Are you sure he is there?” I heard her ask the maid.“Yes ma’am” she replied and hurried away.“Talk to her, let her hear your voice or better still step out of this dark place cause she looks so scared to make any move” Tyler suggested.I cleared my throat sharply before taking one step out of where I stood before.“Come on Serena it’s safe” I stated fully stepping into light for her to see me. She took some steps backward in fear.“Von…Devon??” She called out
DEVON“So what do we do?, do I still continue the marriage with him?”“You will. But you won’t fuck my Father” I replied sternly.“So how do we go about it?…” she asked in fear“Just go back to your room…I’m sure you know your way back. I’ll send someone to you… just do as the person says.. you will be fine” I assured“What if you come up with something and then it’s too late to put it to action?”“And that’s why you should leave now so I can put things to action okay?” “Sure… sure” she responded before hurrying away.*********“Please help me call back that maid” I said to Tyler as soon as I had entered my room.“What did you two talk about?..” he asked and I shrugged lightly before walking over to the edge of my bed.“About how she got here… I mean she told me how she found herself in Gonzalez arms. I’ll tell you about all that later. But I just need to do what I have to do to stop my father from touching her this night” I responded “Okay I’ll just call in the maid and then you t
SERENA“Drop down the curtains” Gonzalez cold voice interrupted my schemes as I found myself turning slowly to him with my hands leaving the curtains….I could only see half of his face at that time and now I was not seeing his face at all cause I already dropped down the curtains.“Why are you still in your attires?. Didn’t the maid assign you?” He asked fiercely and entirely different from the Gonzalez I had met at the dinner table.I swallowed some spits in agitation and fear as I pressed my back against the wall in fear with nothing to say… although I had already memorized how to talk to him without flopping and now I can’t seem to get any word out of my mouth.“I could just rip your bones out of your flesh right now and you won’t know it. To the bed.” He ordered with a tone of finalityI stepped away slowly from the wall and just at the edge of the bed, I stopped walking. I felt sweat dripping down from my thighs to my feet in fear.“I’m on my period” I stated in fear with
~SERENA I turned softly on the bed with a light wince before batting my eyelash, trying to wake up fully.“Good morning” I heard a voice and instantly recognized it to be that of June.Weirdly, I felt at ease and a bit relieved.“Do you need any help in getting up?” She asked softly and I nod my head in disapproval while I tried getting up.“Ssssss” I winced softly as I reached out for my forehead which was really throbbing.“I’ll help you get up” June offered and I allowed her this time around.“Oh my God… you are bleeding ma’am” she stated in bewilderment.“Yeah I know… sustained an injury last night” I lied and she only nodded like she knew I was lying which was uncomfortable. Can’t I lie in peace?“I’ll prepare a warm bath for you now, While you change your dress. And your lips is also bruised. Be right back” she stated and made a slight bow before walking into the bathroom.I cupped my head into my palm as I reminisced on the previous night with Gonzalez. I really smelt dea
SERENA“You should get used to it hence forth…” June added and I forced a tight smile before walking ahead. Getting to the dinner table, I met Tyler spreading some jam on his bread. With a straight expression, I sat opposite him without giving him any attention or glance.“I’ll serve my self” I stopped June from serving me and she nodded with a smile before backing out.“Umm…you mind getting me a glass of juice?” Tyler said to June and I knew at once he was trying to excuse her from the table and maybe to try convince me about what I had heard on my way to the dinner table.“The juice is just before you sir” June responded smartly and I smiled to myself.“I want a cold one. The one here is warm” he retorted and she bowed respectfully before leaving the table.“Dumbo?”he whispered and I rolled my eyes before raising my head up to meet his questioning glare.“Is everything alright??” He asked and I smirked before grabbing a glass of water.“Yeah why not?” I retorted sarcastically.“I
SERENA“Are you sure you are good ma’am” June asked for the tenth time as I kept fuming within.“I told you already that I’m good okay??.” I responded and she nodded before taking some few steps back away from my bedside.“Does Gonzalez come back home everyday?” I found myself asking June“Yes he does except Sunday nights and any other day he is on a business trip.” She answered“Would like to have sometime to myself alone. Perhaps you can excuse me now and then come over later in the day to show me round the mansion”“Yes ma’am” “Thank you” I muttered as she left the room.“Tch!” I kissed my teeth in annoyance as I fell flat on the bed.*stupid Von. I shouldn’t even be surprised, I barely know him and I, expecting more good from him should be the last thing I should ever think of* I thought to myself.With determination, I figured out I was all alone to myself and that I need just MYSELF to survive here. They are strangers and should remain strangers while I work my way out…perha
SERENA~“You’ve been having sex your dad’s P.A and now I’m just a middleman here. My life is now on hold at two points. You have a girlfriend under this mansion…. You had me before your father got me here and now you trying to dump your girlfriend for your father’s wife which you coincidentally had sex with. and now you trying to put up a love at first sight act. This is crazy!” I lashed out.“Nothing is crazy Serena. Look at me” he shocked my body vigorously trying to make me look into his eyes which I was avoiding“You need to trust me Serena…just please for the first time I’m begging you to trust me on this one” he pleaded with a dilated pupil.I heaved a sigh before slowly dropping his hands from my arm.“Can you just believe me?… yes I know I once had a thing with Sharon but that was before I met you. Trust me if you were in the picture that would have never happened. I’m sorry you found out this way and I have nothing to do with her again” he further explained.“What if she find
