Chapter 7
Immediately I got to my office, I arranged my stuffs and then logged in into the company's laptop. I was busy replying a mail from someone who applied for an appointment when my phone rang.
Mom.
I picked up the call and the first thing I heard was my mom crying at the other end of the line.
"Mom...mom, what's wrong?" I asked fera evident in my voice.
"Your brother, it's Andrew." She hiccuped which only means she has been crying since. "He...he was involved in a car accident" she sniffed
"Wha.... what?! How?!" I stood up from my seat pacing around my office, I could already feel the headache coming.
"He went to this party we didn't know about with some of his friends. They were about to come drop him off at home when a trailer that had already lost control hit them." I knew she was crying all over again.
"He was the only one that made it, but with a broken leg." She sighed "and some broken bones." She added later.

Thenext morning, I woke up earlier than usual, probably because of the thought of me being his wife finally settled in, even if we're not yet bounded by the contract. After we had our talk, before we left where we had our lunch, he told me he already made arrangements for the contract file to be made. And, we'll sign first thing tomorrow morning.I cleaned up my room and the living room. Immediately I got home from work, Jade was the first person I called. Everything was happening so fast in a blur.After I blurted everything out to her, she just reassured me it was going to be alright. And then, we took ice cream and watched Netflix.Presently, I was in my kitchen making breakfast, bacon and eggs. I already put in my office wear, a black riffle cuff sheer Swiss dot mesh sleeve too and a black faux leather high- rise leggings, coupled with my black heels. Soon breakfast was ready and as I was about to make my way out of the door I heard a knock.

Under seven minutes Eros was standing outside my door as he watched me pack some of the files I needed to finish at home. "You know you can leave those right?""Yes. But I really need to finish it." I replied as I looked at him. He had one of his hands placed inside his pocket while the other held his car key."I'm ready." I exhaled and straightened my skirt. I felt his eyes on my mid thigh and I swear his eyes were filled with lust. I cleared my throat in order to clear the awkwardness in the room.Because we have this contract between us doesn't mean I was still not attracted to him, I definitely was!He glanced up at my face and then gave me a small smile as we both made our way out of the office. Immediately we got out of the elevator, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.I couldn't stop the blush that rose to my cheeks. My colleagues all looked at us as if they just saw an alien, as if what happened this morning was e

"Do I need to get up today."I sat down uprightly I'm my bed and then grabbed my phone. I scrolled through my messages and saw I had one from Eros.Good morning.Since tomorrow is the dinner we're having with my family I decided you should move in today. And, you don't need to come to work, I'll take care of things.The Parkers would be in your side around ten.Ten? I checked the time and it was past eight!

Holy shit!That was the first thing that came to my mind immediately I entered the room.The room was large. Larger than the one in my apartment. It had a queen sized bed, decorated with pillows of all sorts and placed on it was a white duvet.I placed the duvet in between my hands and felt it, it is....soft. I can't wait to lay on that bed. I walked straight into the closet and wow! It was already filled with clothes and shoes. Surprisingly they were my sizes.Weird.After unpacking my things and cleaning the room, I was already all so sweaty after the cleaning and decided to take a shower.I changed into a sweat shirt and a sweat pants and then packed my hair in a bun. I went downstairs and Daine already told me dinner was ready.Should I wait for him? I thought.I told Daine that I was going to wait for Eros t

I woke up around seven am. I went into the bathroom and then brushed my teeth, had my bath and made sure I washed my hair pretty well. I tied a large white towel on my hair to dry it off and the smaller one on my body.I heard a knock on the door when coming out of the bathroom. Probably Diane, but it wasn't. "Oh, hey." I said smiling at him"Morning." he said and I was so sure I saw him staring at my cleavage. I cleared my throat, bringing his attention back to me."Uh," he scratched his hair, "we will be leaving in about an hour and a half, you should get dressed" he pointed at my body."Yh, sure." I replied as I gave him

Immediately we entered into the living room I saw wowed. It was better than Eros' living room. It was painted cream and arranged perfectly was white couches of different sizes. The chandelier lit up the living room. There were different art painting decorating the walls."My dad likes art." Eros whispered in my ears when he found me admiring the different art works."They are all seated in the dining room." Jade said."Still nervous?""A little." I gave him a small smile and he squeezed my hands reassuringly.Jade opened a large white pocket door with the golden handles and all eyes turned to us."Uncle Eros!" A young boy with blonde hair and pretty blue eyes grinning from ear to ear ran towards him and Eros bent down to scoop him up."Jayden, how has my favourite niece being?"Jayden in turn continued grinning from ear to ear.

The drive back to the penthouse was silent, and awkward. After the announcement made during dinner Eros was silent and looked so far away. Shit..this was all my fault.Jade told me she had not yet decided when to do the wedding...at least that still give us time to come about some excuses as to why we can't do the wedding to together.He got out of the car and stormed inside the house, not waiting for me.Yh he was beyond pissed, at least his plan was going well. I opened the door to my side and entered the house. I saw him in the kitchen opening a bottle of beer and chugging the contents into his mouth."Eros..." I said calmly approaching him "I'm sorry." I said when I was finally at his front, the look on his face didn't show anger so I guess that was progress. "I didn't me-" he c

We were just talking yesterday night, how come he is annoyed??"Is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked as I played with the phone in my hand and turned my body towards him."What do you mean?" He said in a monotone not taking his eyes away from the road.What is wrong with this guy??!"You've been quiet lately and -" he cut me off harshly, "I can be quiet whenever I want." he said.I glared at him, "If this is about what happened yesterday I-""Can we please not talk about this?" He glanced at me, "And if you think it's because of what happened yesterday then you're wrong."So if it isn't what happened yesterday, then why the sudden attitude??I turned my body away from him and leaned my head on the window sighning. I just c
