"I can't believe I'm getting married soon. Like I've never dreamt of it happening till I turn thirty but now, barely three months after meeting Alex, I'm getting married," Ruth chattered over the phone to her cousin."It's surprising, I know. I mean... the last time I was with you, you were nursing feelings for that lawyer man while sleeping with Michael by the side," Sonia said over the phone, "Now you have to stay committed to one man for the rest of your freaking life?""That part is what scares me the most. How do I stay committed to just one man till I grow and get wrinkles?" Ruth laughed, "It's a lot to take in but I have no choice. The faster this goes, the earlier I become his wife. I wonder what life as his wife would be like. I want to know if he's someone I'll stay with or leave after a few years.""And what are the criteria for staying or leaving?""He has to be good in bed...""Ruth!" Christine perked up from her bed. Ever since Ruth started her phone conversation with So
Christine heaved a sigh as she walked into the large living room. Her steps faltered as she stood in the middle of the room taking in everything around her like it was her first time there. A small smile sat on her face as her mind wondered how she thought Ruth lived her whole life in a house that could pass for a palace but it wasn't a big thing to have anymore.The first and last day she came into this house, she had commented on how high the ceiling was and how the chandelier seemed like a constellation. That same day, Rhoda called her a gold-seeking thief because of her relationship with Ruth. —That day was a mess and Christine could remember walking out of the house in tears. She knew it wasn't her fault she was an orphan. It wasn't her fault she was poor. It wasn't her fault Ruth wanted to be friends with her and wasn't trying to mop off Ruth but she couldn't convince Rhoda otherwise. She avoided Ruth for a week straight until the latter came to apologize saying her mum had
Alex sat in the middle of the rowdy club wishing he hadn't gone there in the first place. His small circle of friends, upon seeing the tabloids on his engagement posted on media outlets, called him out to celebrate his upcoming wedding. To do that, they invited him to the club he had first met his bride-to-be and held a small get-together for him. In less than an hour after getting there, talking and binge-drinking, the guys dispersed, going into the crowd of dancing bodies for their catches for the night, leaving him alone on the club's vip couch, bored and tipsy, and maybe just a little drunk. All in all, he regretted the night. His mind haphazardly wandered from the first day he had met Ruth, to the first day he met Christine, to his first date with Ruth and incidental dates with Christine, to him acknowledging his weird feelings for Christine and how her reaction was and then to the point of it all, his coming marriage with a girl he loved —but did he? His fuzzy gaze wandered
The sweet ringing of the bells as the vehicle approached the church made Christine smile —her first genuine smile that morning."Oh my God! Chris it is really happening! I am getting married!" Ruth shrieked happily.Christine turned away from the window and smiled at her friend. It was indeed happening."What?" Ruth suddenly quit smiling and her large eyes stared blankly at Christine. "Is something on my face? Did that makeup artist ruin something?" She asked in panic.Christine smiled even deeper. She took her friend's hands and squeezed with assurance."You are perfect Ruth. There has never been a bride as perfect as you," she whispered and Ruth melted by her words."Aww, you are such a dove. You always cheer me up," Ruth said squeezing Christine's hands too.This was a moment, Christine had been desperately waiting for after the episode at the bar. She needed to get away but she had to stay and witness this day.Now that it was finally here, she couldn't help but feel happier despi
"Alex, have you seen Christine anywhere around?" Ruth asked for the umpteenth time that night.Alex only shook his head as he stared out in the distance.There were at the topmost floor of the biggest hotel in the city, enjoying the view after a long day filled with congratulations and smiles."Oh, that girl!" Ruth hissed by his side.Alex turned to look at his wife. His brows rose as he admired her beauty but at the same time, he wondered why she was getting so worked up over Christine's absence.He had been sad too but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was the best thing for Christine to leave. He couldn't give her the love she truly deserved. It was best she went somewhere she could get another chance at love."Hey, come here," he whispered.Ruth paused at the door and slowly, she moved towards him.Alex pulled his wife closer and stared into her eyes."Why are you so concerned by Christine's absence?" He whispered, his lips hovering above Ruth.Ruth let her
As the rays of sun kissed the couples naked skin the next morning, Ruth was the first to open her eyes.She looked over at Alex messed up hair and smiled to herself. He was so cute.And he had a good cock too.Her eyes went down to her hand and she smiled when she saw that it was hard and ready.Slowly, she slipped from her position and sat on top of him.The movement caused Alex to stir but he needed time to completely pull out of sleep.Ruth lowered herself and kissed him on the lip. This time his hirs fluttered open and he was stunned for a moment, before he remembered where he was."Hey husband," Ruth mumbled against his lips.She picked his hands and moved them to her waist. She took his cock and positioned it into her folds."Hmmm, that feels so good," she moaned and Alex closed his eyes too.He was fully awake now. His hands on her waist tightened as he allowed the warm feeling of her body take over him.He pulled her neck to him and he kissed her, passionately. Ruth was truly
It had been a month since Christine came to settle into her new life. It was hard but she gave herself into work so much that the pain had become numb.Ofcourse Ruth kept calling, constantly asking for favours. The ones she could do, she did for her but mostly, Christine, just wanted Ruth to start handling issues on her own."Miss, Christine?"Christine snapped out of her thoughts and raised her eyes from her laptop. She had zoned out again."Yes, Hilda," she replied in that smooth voice of hers.Hilda stepped into the room her olive skin glowing under the white light above them.She stopped in front of Christine's table and presented an envelope to her. "This came in from the headquarters. It seems the executives are extremely proud of you," she said wiggling her brows.Christine smiled at her secretary's enthusiasm but she was sure Mr. Davies, Ruth's father just sent her another impossible task to try and complete.She took the envelope from her and dropped it on the table in front
"Did he hurt you?! Did he lay his hands on you? What did he do to you?" Christine's words came out so fast it was as if she was trying to win a marathon.She was so agitated and concerned as she held her friend in her hands checking her over to see if there was any sign of trauma on her body.Ruth's face which was shocked at Christine's reaction calmed into a smile as she looked into her best friend's eyes."No one cares about me the way you do Chris," Ruth said in a calm voice with a genuine smile on her face as she gazed into Christine's troubled eyes.Christine did not care about Ruth's comment. All she needed we're answers and she frantically asked for one."Did he threaten you not to tell anyone! I swear to God if that man hurts you he's going to have me to face with. I'm going to fuck him up so much he is going to hate his life... " Christine threatened with so much anger.She would not be able to forgive herself if Alex had turned out to be one of those weird men who got off fr
