Amara's Point of ViewA month had passed since Darlington and I started sharing his bedroom. I got along with Samara Briggs, mostly when her mother was not around. I helped Samara work on her songs. I cannot say our friendship is pure, as I had seen her answering phone calls regarding Darlington's lover.I had heard from Samara that Jenna is her best friend. Although Samara didn't want to give me precise knowledge on when she and Jenna became friends, they still communicated while she kept it away from Jenna that Darlington and I were married. During one of Samara's live chats, she told Jenna that I'm a neighbor living close by and we met in the studio while I'm helping her work on her songs.I didn't want to speak with Jenna, I'm not so good at lying. But knowing I would soon be going home in five months, since Darlington doesn't want us to be intimate, I respect his commitment but keep my distance whenever Samara is on a live chat with Jenna.Waking up in the bedroom I had been shar
Amara's POV I left the Briggs family house and got an Uber to take me to my destination. I arrived at the shopping boutique where I had done my last shopping, and noticed that I was gaining a hundred thousand followers. Some fans were wondering if I was Darlington Briggs' new girlfriend.I didn't reply to the new fans' queries. While some wanted to know more about me, others were dragging me and abusing me online for dating my another lady's fiancé.I could have cleared the air by telling those fans that I am married to Darlington Briggs, not just dating him. However, I knew that if I bragged about Darlington being my husband in public, he would get mad and distance himself from me. So, I chose not to respond to the fans' questions since Darlington hadn't replied to the fans or followed my online page."Welcome, Ma. What would you like to shop for today?" The clerk on duty rushed up to me with a smile on her face. She was the same lady who had attended to me the last time."Just coat
Darlington Briggs:I was still in turmoil in my room knowing that Amara would have to make a public appearance with me at my father's company the following day. I totally forgot about my relationship with Jenna the last time, I made a public appearance with Amara. When we went shopping, and I bought ice-creams for her, presuming it was something Jenna liked. I had thought all girls liked ice-cream too."What am I going to do now?" Amara had been behaving stubbornly with me. I don't know if she's aware that she's trending online. I had expected Jenna to call me and accuse me of cheating, especially after my shopping excursion with Amara went viral.However, after speaking to Jenna today in the office, I made up an excuse about having other work to do, explaining why I hadn't shown up in my office for a while. Jenna asked me why I went shopping with my neighbor and paid for the items with my card. She mentioned that Samara informed her that the lady trending with me online is our neigh
Darlington Briggs:The following morning, I woke up early with a headache. I exit the guestroom and went back to my bedroom upstairs. It was 6 am so most of my family members were still asleep.I entered my sitting room and approached my bedroom door. Knocking on the door, I heard no response from Amara. I didn't want to bump into a naked woman, as I knew how I struggled to sleep the previous night.Slowly, I pushed my bedroom door opened and entered the room. I heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom and knew that Amara was in there, taking her bath.I sighed, went to my closet and selected out the suit and necktie I would wear, alongside my pair of shoes.I awaited for Amara to emerge from the bathroom and she did, tying a white towel around her chest, then she walked up to me to enter the closet.Observing that Amara didn't want to greet me, I pulled her by her wet arm, and swirl her around to face me. "Can't you greet?" I demanded."Stop touching me! I am not your wife f
Amara Nicholas:I did not know how to feel about going to the Briggs groups. When I was in the countryside, My father usually spoke so much about his partnership with Mr. Joshua Briggs. Mr. Joshua usually visited us, although then, I wasn't really interested in getting to know the business he had with my father.I am aware that Mr. Joshua Briggs much like my dad has many legal business running under his company name. He gives out loans as well as support small growing companies too. I was eager to resume in their company, just to be leaving home and spending more time with Darlington.Well, I didn't have to worry about the possibility of the love of his life coming to his office to see him and to kiss him in my presence.Gross! That would hurt.Well, I didn't respond to Darlington's statement in his car. Pulling the back door opened, I got into the back car, fastened my seatbelt and ordered him, "Start the car.""Hmm, you don't order me around," Darlington said, meeting his eyes in th
Darlington Briggs:While attending to my clients for the day, I didn't bother to check on Amara or to introduce her to any of the staff because she was my wife."No way," I said. I picked up my phone and immediately called Mrs. Sarah to get me lunch. Mrs. Sarah is a young lady in her twenties, but she is older than Amara. While spending time with work in my office, I picked up my phone and called Sarah, informing her of what to get for me.After my phone call, I waited for Sarah's arrival, but I was a bit curious to know what Amara was into.A few minutes later, Sarah arrived with my lunch and set it in the space on my desk."How about the new lady I introduced to you earlier today?" I inquired about Amara. I didn't want to refer to Amara as my wife, not when I'm still in a relationship with Jenna."Sir, I have taken her to Henry Brown's office, and so far, there has been no bad report about her." Sarah reported it to me. "I see. You may leave," I dismissed Sarah, feeling unsettling
Darlington Briggs;Not saying a single word to Amara, I started my car and finally drove out of the company. She was equally silent, and after hours of driving, we soon arrived home.I waited for the security guy to pull the gate open, then I maneuvered my car into the premises and parked. Amara was the first to get out of my car, and as I got out, I saw my father standing at the mansion's front with a warm smile playing on his face. I watched Amara walk up to meet him. Approaching him, she greeted my father, "Good evening, sir.""Welcome, my daughter-in-law; how was your first day at work?" Dad asked Amara. Only then did it dawn on me that I didn't even remember to ask Amara how her day at work was, not after seeing her laughing and playing with Henry.I decided to set boundaries between them. As much as I didn't want Anara as my wife, that didn't mean I would overlook her for flirting with the men in my firm.Amara was pretty, and I know Henry was still single and unmarried."It w
Darlington Briggs;"Ifeoma, Allow Darlington to go and call his wife, or isn't that what he was about to do?" My dad queried my mom."No, dad," I replied after seeing my mother frown."Don't say I didn't warn you, Darlington. I already tried my best by helping you to marry a good wife; it's left for you to treat her good or bad," Dad said, and he added, "Let's start eating."After I finished having my dinner in the dining room downstairs, I made my way back upstairs, and the sound of water reached my ears. I overheard Amara singing in the bathroom, and I felt drawn to listening to her melodic voice.It was enchanting at that late hour. I stood there by the bathroom door, knowing Amara was in there and bathing. I remember the last time I saw her naked. My body turned hard, tempting me to push the bathroom door open, storm in, and take her from there, but remembering my promise to Jenna, I was conflicted.The bathroom door pushed open, and Amara got out and stared at me in shock."I ."
