I can’t believe I’m still having these feelings. I’ve tried so hard to erase them, I’ve tried so hard to make her hate me but it’s not working. She’s not making it easy for me.
‘Why did she have to see me in that position?’ I sighed heavily. ‘It might be for the better’ I tried to console myself
Walking into my office and seeing Maya made me hate myself even more. How did I accept this girl back into my life? She only brings problems to my life.
These feelings are just escalating and it’s making me sick. But I can’t fall in love ‘NO’ I screamed out loud causing a scene.
I managed to boycott every question and stare that came with the scream.
“What was she doing here?” A tiny voice that was supposed to sound soothing asked and I only got annoyed and pissed at the situation I found myself in.
‘What if I had just shown how much she makes me feel would we be living happily together?’ I asked myself
“No that wouldn’t have happened” I said out loud again thinking it was my inside voice speaking.
“What wouldn’t have happened” Maya asked
Maya, who is my ex-girlfriend, and myself have been having ‘fun’ before marriage came into the picture. She’s a model with a lot of problems and she’s fine, hot and sexy but she’s definitely not wife material. I had the option to get into the marriage contract with her but it didn’t seem right and my mom loathes her just like she loathes my dad.
If I had the choice to pick again I still wouldn’t ask her to be my wife.
“Nothing” I answered with disgust in my tone
“Leave my office” I grunted trying to maintain my irritation
“But why, is it because of that woman?, you said the marriage was just for the public so what’s gotten into you why are you taking her side” Maya said, anger in her voice. Slamming the door in my face she walked out.
I usually drive myself home but today I wasn’t feeling like it. I’ve never been that angry at myself for anything and it certainly wasn’t normal.
‘Did she cast a spell on me’ I jokingly asked myself, I nodded giggling at my situation.
“Is everything okay sir” my driver asked
“Yes sure, go ahead” I said with a soft tone
She always has a way of making me happy and at peace. I only wished I wasn’t the way I am today because of my fear for love and commitment. I love her but I don't want to have anything to do with love.
Memories from that passionate night we shared together lived rent free in my head and it made these tingling feelings. I knew I enjoyed it and I wanted more of it but how can I make it happen but still try to make me hate her?
The twenty five minutes drive down to my mansion that seemed like twenty five days was finally over and I could finally see my wife’s face to lighten my mood. I always looked forward to seeing her after my stressful day so as to feel better.
“I wanted to talk you about something” a calm angelic voice called out behind me
“Yes….about what exactly that made you come by my office earlier?” I braced myself and asked
“I was going to say…. Well, I’m tired of sitting at home doing nothing specific to benefit myself. You give me all the money I need and I don’t actually need anything but sitting around this big mansion all day is tiring, boring and stressful and I would like to keep myself busy. Maybe give me a position or something in one of your offices” she said confidently as always
“Okay then” I said
“What….. that’s it?” She said with disbelief
“Do you have any other thing to say?” I asked
“I mean you should have more to say, give me a response. Am I getting a job at your place or not. Will you allocate a position to me?” She said with an angry expression
Walking away from her and going towards the stairs, I turned to take a glance at her gracious eyes then I said “I’ll let you know tomorrow”
“Goodnight Dana” I said with the calmest of tone
I knew she was feeling reluctant to answer me given her body language but then she said “Goodnight”
***
I woke up with a good hunch about how today was going to go. I skipped to the bathroom, sang my heart out to my favorite playlist, water trickling down my body and staring at my curves and how beautiful my body looked in the mirror.
Looking as amazing as ever, I smiled my way to the door taking a glimpse at my neatly arranged room and went down the stairs for breakfast.
On reaching the stairs, I noticed a long line of dresses on a clothes hanger and three ladies standing besides the hanger. I stopped midway down the stairs with a confused look and it looked as though I was going to be dressed up for a dinner date and immediately I got flustered.
“Good morning Mrs Bailey….. you look as beautiful as your husband described you to be” one of the ladies said and immediately I knew she was in charge
‘Wait what?! Did she just say my husband? I think I heard wrong. So he thinks I’m beautiful’ I said to myself blushing so hard just to the thought of being called beautiful by ‘Mr arrogant’ my so-called husband and imagining how he said with his deep sexy voice and I couldn’t stop smiling to myself but I was drawn back to the world by a soft voice
“Ma’am are you okay?” The lady in charge asked
“Please call me Dana” I said with an assuring smile
“He really did describe me as beautiful, didn’t he?” I asked with a side grin trying not to show my blushed face
“He did ma’am and it was so cute to see how obsessed he really is with you” she said making me smile harder
Minutes into our little conversation I heard a footstep from behind me. With a big smile on his face ‘Mr arrogant’ walked down the stairs not only was he smiling so hard but he came in with a big hug.
“What are you doing?” I asked with a confused look
“We’re married and obsessed with each other in public and amidst people” he said with an unclear tone
Pulling out of the hug he said to the ladies “make my wife look the best, I want to see her in the most perfect dress so I can smile and remind myself how much I am blessed to have her”
“What’s the essence of this though?” I asked again with a confused look
“Getting you ready for a ball” he stylishly said
“But…..I didn’t know about this” I said
“You don’t have to worry about that” he said with a smile
I walked into an exorbitant, most beautiful ballroom filled with gorgeous art and music, the lights were breathtaking and the chandelier sitting in a warm embrace shining bright like a diamond. Perhaps it was made of diamonds? I walked into the ballroom, my red dinner gown that swept the floor, my exquisite diamond stones on the dress complimented my diamond handbag which drew so much attention and stares. Felix had earlier gotten me a set of jewelry, bag and shoes all diamonds to match my red dress. Walking side by side with my husband, my arm in his, I felt somewhat protected and safe from everything. Although it was just to showcase how ‘incredible’ our relationship was and how ‘amazing’ our marriage was going. I never for once imagined myself being in a gathering with people I see on the news and the ones I read about in articles. I felt important to be distinguished as an ‘Elite’. “You look amazing” Felix whispered into my ear I could feel the rush in my adrenaline, my face
HUH?!” I turned in shock I was so confused. My wife was right in front of me and we were having a good time together so who would dare come right in front me and ask her for a dance. To my best knowledge she has no male friends matter of fact she has no other friend asides Claire and even if she did who DARES talk to her where I am. I could feel my blood getting hot and my eyes burning. I was ready to give whoever that person was a punch. I turned so fast to see who the voice belonged to. ‘Oh God’ I exhaled“JASPER??!!!” I was bewildered I couldn’t believe my eyes. My favorite cousin that I hadn’t seen for almost ten years was right in front of me with a smile on his face. “I missed you man” I leaned in for a big reciprocating hug “I haven’t seen you in forever” he said with his ever knowing and soft tone and a sweet smile. Jasper was my favorite cousin in his late twenties, we grew up together, he was like my brother not just my cousin. He moved to another country and we tal
I froze on seeing a shadow in my room. I couldn’t breath although it was a secure house I couldn’t just pinpoint why I was that scared to my bone marrow. I gathered all the courage I have in me and shouted “WHO’S THERE?” Flipping the light switch on I saw that it was Jasper shirtless on the bed I gasped heavily out of fear and shock from his body He was so hot. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked so much like Felix. His chest down to his structured stomach that was divided into six down to his waistline and waistband. I FROZE….. I was brought back to myself by his soft voice “Oh my God. Did I scare you?” He asked softly standing up from the bed “I’m sorry. I just entered the room and I thought I could just sit in the dark to get my head straight. It’s something I always do. I’m sorry I made you scared” he said smiling obviously forgetting that he isn’t wearing a shirt “I couldn’t breathe” I giggled nervously “But why sit in the dark to get your mind in the right place. That
Having to work as a writing editor is the most interesting thing to ever happen to me. I never thought I’d have this happiest part of my life. My so-called marriage was going well; no drama, no problems whatsoever and I was killing at work it couldn’t be any better. “I’ll see you after work” I said to Felix “Wait. A friend of mine is having a party tonight and we’ll be going over for it” he said with a warm tone “We’ll be going shopping so I’ll come get you later on. I suggest the driver takes you to work today to make things less stressful” he said “Oh, I didn’t know that I have to work late today so I don’t think I’ll be able to attend” I said “What do you mean by that?” He asked with a bossy expression “I have to work late because I have some work to get done before the weekend starts and that’s tonight” I said with confidence “I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. I’ll come pick you up and we get whatever we have to get and we go for the party whatever work you have to do s
Dana’s POVAs I sat down on my couch, sighing and thinking of my life and how God decided to make things difficult for my twenty four year old self I was brought back to life by my ringing phone“Where the hell are you” my only friend and coworker, Claire yelled through the phone“I’m on my way, there’s a lot of traffic” I lied “Be fast or else you know what” she said almost yelling I ran through the door as fast as I could knowing I’m putting my job at risk, I hailed a taxi and got in telling the driver the address, looking at how the crowd outside bubbled and the lights as beautiful as ever I only thought one thing ‘WHY ME?’My life was going the wrong way and I knew my ruthless boss at work might either fire me before I entered or yell at me throughout the night. Although quitting would have helped my peace a little, it’ll be the worst decision of my life because there’s nowhere I could run to I got down from the taxi and took a deep breath What’s the worst that can happen I
Felix POV“No mom I don’t necessarily have to get married to have a child, I just need a child” I said all blunt giving my mom the ‘leave me alone look’. I was sick and tired of my mom pestering me for a wife, I mean after everything my dad put her through she still expects me to get married?I mean it’s not like I’ll put my wife through hell like he did but I have a phobia for marriage and commitment. I can’t even picture myself in one ‘Commitment is a waste of time’ I always say to myself “You need someone to look after you my darling, someone special who will let you loosen up a bit and not that girl what’s her name again?—Maya”she spluttered with disgust and annoyance Maya was my ex-girlfriend from almost a decade back but we still ‘play around’ from time to time. My mom’s undying hatred for her makes her look very ugly even though she has nice curves and a fine face but truthfully an irritating personality. “Can I go to work now” I said walking towards the door I love my mo
***We walked out of the bar and I instantly noticed a black shining car that shined brighter than my present life and I couldn’t help but widen my eyes and scream when the ‘handsome man’ beside me opened the car with a small remote in his hand. He truly is wealthy as he looks I said to myself We walked towards the opened car and as I got in I sat on the most soft and comfortable seat ever, although a car seat, it was as soft as a five-star hotel bed. After about twenty five minutes of driving without saying a word to each other, we got to a fancy restaurant. He was a gentleman and he opened the door for me, I felt ashamed because I wasn’t dressed for dinner at a fancy restaurant“Why didn’t you say we were coming to a place like this, I’m not dressed for this place” I couldn’t even look up because of how I shy and ashamed I was “It doesn’t matter, you look okay” he said without any emotion and I couldn’t even blush at his compliment because it sounded like an insult. I looked at
I felt very uneasy as I heard his deep voice on the other end of the line, after hesitating I had to answer because my life depended on my decision and the powerful billionaire had no time to waste. “Uhhh I’ve made my decision” I said barely speaking “I need this so I’ll go through it” I said nervously On my way to my mom’s house, the only thing that was on my mind was how to explain to her the whole situation I found myself in. I didn’t want to make her worry nor did I want her to think it’ll be a contract marriage. I got to her place, she looked and felt better than she was the last time I saw her and although happy I was shocked.“Hey baby” my mom—Mrs Annabel Joseker said smiling as she always does whenever she sees me “Mama you look different from two days ago” I said with a smile but with utmost concern“I called you to tell you what happened but then you said you were coming over so I said to wait for you” she said, still smiling. “A young lady brought me my complete medica
