“I’m just watching out for my wife” Julian said with a grin, placing his hand on the wall. I looked at his hand which was now placed on the wall, blocking any escape.“Can I just get ready now?” I asked, pushing him away lightly, I heard him chuckle from a distance as I rushed in to the washroom to get ready.“Aren’t you forgetting something?” He asked.“Yeah” I said, opening the washroom door “Some clothes” I added. A smile formed on his lips.“You’re clumsy and forgetful do you know that?” He asked, with a smirk.I quickly got my clothes on, my baggy jeans and a cool tshirt on top.“Are you really wearing that?” He asked.“Is it a real marriage?” I teased “Look..you said I’d change when we got there, so what’s the need of dressing so lavishly?” I asked, pulling onto my shirt.We drove to the venue right immediately, sitting quietly, I needn’t question him or the reason he came back immediately, all I knew was that, I felt thankful to God he was home early.“We’re here” he stated, un
Amelia’s POVI thought I slept too hard, maybe I did because the moment my eyelids had a taste of the morning sun, I found my drool around my mouth, taking my hand, I quickly wiped it off ‘Hope he didn’t see my like this’ I thought to myself as I took the drapes over my head. “Good morning sloppy sleeper” Julian said, I knew it’d be him, after all, the clanking of his silver wristwatch was all I needed to know of his presence as I stayed under the drapes, I stayed silent.“Aren’t you going to get out of bed?” He asked. I took down the drapes slowly, using my eyes the scan the room and his outfit as well.“Good morning” I answered casually, taking my feet off the bed and dashing towards the bathroom.“That’s fast..” he chuckled.“Hope you didn’t forget what today is?” He asked again. I looked at the miniature mirror the stood in front of me, I couldn’t forget, it is my wedding day.“I’ll be heading out to get my outfit, I’ve sent for the stylists and your gown” he said with little to

Julian’s POV“Get the rumors down!” I ordered as I stood behind him, his fingers on the keyboard.“Ye..yes sir” he responded as he placed his fingers on his computer, adjusting his glasses in between taps.“So you started the rumor, who’s your source?” I asked calmly as I took a seat opposite him.“It..was her..” he stuttered, his hands clasped in fear.“Who?” I asked in a calm tone, expecting for my calm posture to get through to him.“Pr..Prisca Elbourne” he said, adjusting his glasses as he trembled with fear, almost immediately, went on his knees as my eyes scanned him from head to toe.“Prisca Elbourne, a student at the nearby university, am I right?” I asked him.“Ye..yes, she’s the one…she forced me to do it, I’d never want to ruin the reputations of a renowned professor on whim” he responded as sweat started dripping down his head.“Let this be the first and last zone you try this with the professor, understand?” I asked, adjusting my face mask making sure my message had gotte
Amelia’s POVThe piercing smell of disinfectants finally left my lungs as I walked out of the hospital with Julian, his smile reassuring.“She’ll be alright” he said, squeezing my hand just a bit, reminding me that I’d been holding hands with him.He opened the car door courteously, watching me walk in, the moment I settled in, the car door closing right after me, I watched him walk to the driver seat, almost immediately, I felt a buzz, it was my phone, taking a look at it, the caller ID read ‘Maxton’ .“Hello..” I answered, putting the phone to my ear “Amelia, have you heard the rumors?” He asked, his voice was croaking as though he had been scolding someone.“What rumors?” I asked, perplexed, turning to Julian whose hands had become steady on the wheel.“There’s news going on campus” he said “About you dating the professor for good grades” he whispered “I know your situation… but the board might not take the rumors lightly” he added.“How…how and when, what proof do they have?” I as
Julian’s POVWatching her walk away in anger, fuming, I couldn’t help but smirk at her reaction ‘Is she jealous after seeing Prisca in my office?’ I thought to myself, walking to the closet.I noticed her wallet sitting on the side closet “How can she forget her wallet?” I muttered, taking it in my hand.“Where’s Amelia?” I asked the maid who sat idly, feigning working hands.“Master Julian, she just left, I saw her wave a cab right outside the gate when I walked out” she said in a hushed tone as though speaking louder would mean losing her job.“Thank you” I answered, rushing back into my room to get ready to follow her, instead of heading to campus.“Pick up, pick up!” I said holding my phone in one hand, the other on the steering wheel.I had called upto six times already, luckily, I spotted the car as according to the man who stood guard at the gates this morning.“Why is he following that route?” I muttered ti myself, following him at a distance.The route the driver had taken wa
