More Than A Business Deal Chapter 12
Someone was shaking me awake and it was getting annoying. I swatted the hand away again for the thousandth time but it came back just like it did the numerous times I had tried to get rid of it. I wish I could open my eyes and the person so hard they would find it difficult to get their bearings for a week but I had to open my eyes first and I was too tired to open them. I had been by Dad’s side for almost a week without sleep, waiting to see if he would wake up but he didn’t. Just like he did before, Duke had to force me to get some sleep and that was about an hour ago. The moment I hit my bed after taking a much-needed shower, I could almost kiss Duke in appreciation as I realized I was on the brink of death with how exhausted my body was. The delay in Dad’s consciousness was taking a toll on the staff and their hope was slowly fading away with time. They seemed to have given up altogether because they had heard he was not getting better so now all they did was throw me sympatheti

Life had suddenly gone still and I seemed to be the only one that existed. Dad died three days ago and my sense of living seemed to have died with me. I couldn’t muster up the energy in me to do the simple things of life any more. Duke and Dr Martin had found me lying across Dad’s chest. I held on to him for so long that they had to pry me off him when the Dieners came to pick him up. It had been a struggle. My mind would not believe that Dad was going away for good. I didn’t stay behind to watch them cart him away. I may have struggled with them too and not allowed them to do their job, instead as soon as they successfully got me off him, I walked straight to my room and shut the door behind me and I haven't opened it since then. I’ve had multiple people that I didn’t bother to identify come up to my door and knock asking me if I was okay but I didn't utter a word. Somehow, Duke managed to open the door to my room but he didn’t say a word, just rolled in a cart of food and kept it

The atmosphere was really tense in the living room. It seems like Atticus had no issue leaving me to deal with my uncle alone because he left as soon as the burial was done. He only held back to relay some information to Duke and then he was off. I was too bothered trying to think of ways to get rid of my uncle to bother asking Duke what Atticus had told him. “What are you doing here Uncle, I thought you decided to cut all ties with us, so what are you doing here now?” I asked my uncle. He was sitting on the chair opposite me and was giving me a dirty look but I didn’t care and he knew it was not affecting me. “What do you mean by that question? Of course, I would be here for my brother’s burial” “Then you can leave now that it’s over since that was what you came here for” His Jaw tensed and he clenched his fists as though he was trying to prevent himself from doing something. I raised my brows at that and scoffed. “You should watch your mouth, young lady. I will have you know th

Today was moving day. I was finally moving in with Atticus and it was not in the least exciting. Atticus sent the movers here and they were loading everything that I wanted to take with me into the van. There was not a lot to be moved so I didn’t bother contacting a moving company but Atticus did and like always without contacting me first. Some of the workers have been laid off regrettably but the house didn’t need as much staff caring for it when nobody would be living here anymore. Maybe one day in the future, I could actually come here sometime for a break but only time would tell. I was currently in Dad’s bedroom trying to get one final look at it before I left. Everything was still the same way it was before it was filled with medical machines that were currently gone. This room holds so much memory and I was leaving it behind. If I could stuff it in my bags, I would. “Dad, do you think they would like me?” I spoke to the empty room. I spent last night thinking about today.

As soon as Atticus' sisters walked out the door, someone immediately appeared to show me to the room I would be staying in. After surveying the room and discovering I would be living here alone, I dumped my body like a sack of potatoes on the bed. Now that I was alone with my thoughts, I could feel my heart beating so loudly against my chest. All I could think of was how stupid I had been to challenge his sisters like that. He would be furious if he heard about what happened. I hated the way my mouth kept running like a bad tap. I should learn to control myself. Now, I don’t think there is any way to remedy the situation, what’s done is done. They brought it upon themselves anyway. They should never have pissed me off in the first place. Because of their troubles, I was unable to get a proper look at the house before I locked myself in there. I love the bedroom and how spacious it is. It wasn’t too girly and had neutral colours just like I wanted. This was it. I was finally liv

It’s close to dinner and I have yet to see the person who was supposed to be my husband. I was trying to conclude whether he was a workaholic or was just avoiding me since he knew I would be at home by this time. After the delicious brunch I had in the kitchen with Lorenzo, I came back to my room and that is where I have been ever since, my only company being my phone which I was getting bored of. I was considering going down for dinner but had to hold myself back until I was called by the staff. I didn’t want them to start seeing me as an overeater on my first day of living here. I could not stop thinking of Lorenzo’s food, that man was a beast in the kitchen and it also didn’t help that he was freaking attractive. I know I am married now and I should probably keep my eyes off men but I could still admire them and I’m sure Atticus won’t mind since he wasn’t at all concerned with anything that had to do with me. Someone knocked on my door and I told the person to come in. The g

It was during moments like this that I regretted my decision to live my life solo, without friends. I was bored out of my mind from being in doors always and I couldn’t exactly make friends with the help. One thing I learnt from my dad is that the people who work under you can never truly be your friend and you should never try to make them like that. But that didn’t mean that you should be mean or wicked to them, you should treat them with kindness and never bully them, I know many people would disagree but it’s made life efficient for me and dad. It’s been almost a week since I had that little table argument with Atticus and we haven’t seen each other since. I didn’t even know if he was living in this house. It was like he was avoiding me or that’s what I keep telling myself but I knew deep down, it was the other way around. I was still a little bit pissed at him so I don’t want to see him in case I am unable to control myself and tell him what I would regret later on. Today, I w

Something was chirping rather too loud against my window and it was getting too annoying. The sun streaking through the window had not been enough to wake me up but the bird that wouldn’t stop chirping so loudly was making it difficult for me to remain asleep. I turned to my right so I was facing the window and threw the bird the hardest glare I could muster so early in the morning but the annoying twat just faced the other side too and continued its business like it wasn’t being so fucking loud. There was no way I was falling asleep again with the bird shouting and refusing to fly away and I was not about to let it stay there just because I was lazy. A loud yawn escaped my lips and I stretched my little body on the bed before standing up. The bird flew away as soon as I took my first step towards the window and I clenched my fist in annoyance to prevent screaming out of frustration. I picked up my phone to check the time and saw it was a quarter past eight which was way too ear
