Last night, although he was fast asleep, when he woke up to Audrey beside him, he felt energetic compared to his previous experiences where he would feel sore and moody after a traumatic night. He knew she did something to him that helped relieve his anxiety, and he was grateful for that.While Audrey made dinner, Carter assisted out with little things like slicing onions, and he was terrible at it that Audrey couldn't help but laugh." What funny? Am I doing it wrong" Even as he chopped the onions into big and unequal sizes, he still looked innocent when he asked the question." Not, the sizes are too big, try chopping it to medium, like this" She held his hand that was holding the knife and navigated his hand through the process.He was stunned for a moment, never had he allowed a woman to touch him, but it came unexpected, which made him unable to refute her." Now try it out" She commanded while his gaze still fixed on her.He tried reshaping the onions while he chopped them, and
“ Oh dear, I tried knocking, but you were not speaking forth, what is it dear, your eyes are filled with tears ”Ella wipes a few tears from her eyes while sniffing her nose. “ Mom am finished, Josh betrayed me, he duped me all his love and promises were a scam” She sobbed louder. “ What are you talking about, Josh the one you spoke so highly of, what did he do, you guys can make up” You don't get it, mom! He married with kids and all the money is gone ”What do you mean gone, didn't you invest it in his company? ”“ There was no company, it was all a lie, he flew to the country last night with all our money along with his family.”Summer let herself fall drastically on the floor, both her hands in her hair as they evolve fizzily. “ What do you mean there was no company, didn't you verify all he was saying before handing out such a huge amount of money to him? ”“ He talked so much about our love and how he couldn't wait to start up a family with me, his words seemed so real, so I di
Carter and Audrey quelled by a flower shop on their way because Audrey had insisted she wanted to buy them some gifts. They also stopped at the toy shop to get his little niece some toys, and Audrey wouldn't stop picking toys for the little prince she hasn't meant yet. “ You should as well just get him the entire shop because that seems like what you are doing”“ I don't know what kind of toys he likes, so am just going to get him as much as I can”He sighs and kept ensuing behind, the thought of how she was spending his money buying so many toys for his niece who had almost everything amazed him. Carter arrived at his family estate in his convoy alongside Audrey who rode in the same car with him. She could tell he was finally opening up to her, considering he let her sit close to him, although there was no word spoken throughout the whole ride. His convoy all came to halt and Carter slowly began to brief Audrey on what to anticipate. “ Do not forget everything I told you, tell th
The entire family slowly had a meal of meatballs, beef chili, and salad for dessert. It was carefully prepared with rich and spicy ingredients, giving it a delicious taste with a good aroma that anyone couldn't resist. “ So, Audrey, how has it been getting along with my grandson? ” Grandma Nana inquired while slowly dipping a spoon of salad into her mouth. Audrey was surprised at the question, for she assumes most women only care about what you have to offer to their son and not what he has to offer you. She stares briefly at Carter, pondering how to answer the question, but Carter avoids eye communication with her, a frown spread across his voice. “ It has been the best days of my life, Carter is so lovely” “ Aww… Never thought I would see the day a woman will say much about my brother” Trisha teased him, but his face remained calm while his jaw tightened. “ Does he give you a strenuous time at night? ”Grandma Nana inquired again. “Of course not. Carter is like a baby, he alwa
“ Here is a glass of milk, I gave out all the alcohol we have, so you won't be getting any at home” her voice was calm, and that only made him more furious. “ You did what? ”“ Yes you heard me, I gave out all the bottles of whiskey, you are going to learn to take care of yourself” “ How dare you!! ” He grabs her arm, squeezing it tight. “ This is my house, what conveyed you the right to give away things that do not belong to you? ”“ Carter stop! ” She makes an effort to calm him down, staring at his eyes plugged with fire and rage, she has never seen him this angry, he was so angry over something that didn't matter a lot, which made her think, the anger was fueling out from a psychological bruise. “ You are nothing but trash, yet I let you in, and you think you are my wife! ” his voice was getting louder, and so was his grip on her arm. “ Carter stops, you are hurting me, Carter stop!! ” She cried out, and he immediately let go of her, the rage in his eyes was all gone and repla
“ Trisha, would you both excuse us, I need to speak to Grandma” Audrey and Trisha accord them some privacy, his attention was now his grandma's as he shoots her a dark glare. “ Grandma, could you please start by telling me what the hell you are doing here this early in the morning, who gave you my address? ”“ I could always get whatever information I wanted. I came to give Audrey some gifts to thank her for yesterday, but I got the shock of my life. Son, how did it happen? ”“ Grandma, if you wanted to give her a present, you could have sent someone like James, but here you are early this morning. Grandma, I won't tolerate you peeking into my private life” “Son, how was it possible, you held her in your arms, yet there weren't any allergies, tell me what going on” Grandma Nana lamented, staring at him intensely. “ You were the one bulging me to get married, now you are asking me why I was with my wife, what the hell do you want? ”“ I want you to be happy, son, but I can't be at re
Audrey finished taking a bath and dressed in tight jean trousers and a red strapless top, she neatly styled her hair and didn't bother applying anything before stepping out of her room as Carter's eyes fell on her. He had just finished having his breakfast, standing in front of her room, he was deliberating whether he should knock or not when the door clicked open. “ You are dressed? ”“ Yes, am behind schedule” Should I call James to come to drop you off? ”“Don't bother him, I will find my way. ”“ How about I drop you off? ” Her face turned red as her heart was crammed with a flush of emotions. “ Thanks, Carter, but I will be fine” She hung her bag around her left arm and walked away through the back door, not wanting to face grandma or Trisha again. Oliver, dressed in a designer shirt and plain trousers, sat at the coffee shop where Audrey had agreed to meet him, he was so anxious to meet her and arrived earlier than the agreed time. The cab came to a halt in front of RUBIES
Emma was eventually through with the employment process and was settling in at the apartment the firm offered her. She brought out pictures from a box, hanging them on the wall, before going over to the flowers. They were her favorite in the garden back home, and she always held this particular flower with so much regard because it blossoms in any weather it finds itself. She had just finished settling and was now hungry, so she decided to hurry to the nearest grocery shop. Walking freely on the street, her phone rang, and her face lit up realizing it was her best friend. “ Hi, girlfriend” “ Is this how married women behave, you forget your family once you are married? ” Emma teased as she walks down the street. “ Except her family won't let her be. Could you please imagine that daddy called me asking for money? ”“ What? It's a lie” “ I wish it was, he even had to use emotional blackmail on me, all the money sold from the company, is gone just like that” “ Did he divulge to you
