Goldiva's POV
It had been two hours and I was exhausted.I entered the room and looked there in secret awe. Even though the bed was large and king-sized, it didn't take up maximum space. In fact, the space it took wasn't a lot at all.I spotted two different wardrobes. One was white, and the other was crimson.At a distance was a different place which looked like a dressing area and shoe room. My heart thumped when I saw a beautiful vanity table.I heard a deep sigh behind me, and I looked far behind me where Bruce was at, with his PJ's on, and he sat at his desk. He didn't notice me standing there, still in my wedding outfit."Um." I murmured. He looked at me and pure annoyance on his face. He then got up, and I gulped as his tall frame walked towards me."I have personally divided this room." He told me."So you can put your sacks over there." He pointed to the crimson wardrobe, which was close to the dressing area, reffering to my luggage as 'sacks.'"Unfortunately, we have to share the same bed." He grumbled, walking over to the bed. He used pillows to divide the bed equally."Never cross this border, from this side," He motioned to the left side of the bed, "towards the dressing area and wardrobe is yours." He said."And the rest are mine." He said.My heart was racing at the depth of his velvet voice, and I felt nervous."Don't even try to get closer to me, just the same way I won't bother touching you." He said."In fact, let me set my rules straight." He said, looking above my head while I looked on the ground."Don't look at my face. Don't even try to talk to me unless I ask you a question or when the issue is relevant. Whatever happens here stays here. Don't even try to seduce me understand You're lucky I'm not easily seduced. Don't even try it... gold digger." He concluded, calling me gold digger. Gold fucking digger.I. Hate. That. Shit."And take that shit off, you look terrible. It's not like you look good anyway." He said and a twinge went into my chest.He walked away from me while I stood there, fuming over his sick rules. Why would I even bother myself to try seducing him? I also felt hurt and embarrassed at his words.While others were complimenting me, he did otherwise, and that dimmed out all the compluments.I thought as I angrily unzipped my suitcase and gasped at what I saw.What the hell did my mum pack?I went through the clothes and took the one that looked less..transparent. It was a yellow negligee.I took out my towel and sponge bag and walked towards the bathroom en suite. I took a nice warm bath, washing off all the makeup and glitter on my skin.I allowed the warm water to relax my muscles and massage my hair. My head was aching due to the way my hair was tightly bunned with pins and gold flowers.I dried up my self and hair thoroughly and applied a deodorant and skin moisturiser. I winced as I brushed my hair and used a little bit of hair cream.When I went back into the room, everywhere was dark, and Bruce was asleep.Thank God, I hate this dude.I crawled into the left side of the bed and shifted closer to the large window and gave my mind a review over. Memories flashed into my head. Some made me me smile, some made me whimper, but all the same, I fell asleep.***Bruce's POVI usually experienced morning wood most of the time, but this morning, it was more,.."Woody" than it was supposed to be because I felt something soft close to my chest, and my breath was hitting a surface.A tendril of hair fell onto my nose, and I inhaled the different but sweetscent. Then it dawned me it wasn't Starla.I opened my eyes, and they went wide when I saw my arms around Goldie's slender waist.What the fuck? Didn't I warn her to not..Wait.I checked again and realised I had broken the boundary to her side. I carefully but quickly removed my arms and got up to leave the room.I quickly bathed and dried up my body and dressed up for work. After spraying some cologne, I called Starla."Hey." I grinned leaving the room."So how did you sleep last night?" She asked."Don't really know, I felt miserable without you." I said descending the staircase to head towards the car."Same." She said and my heart ached."So I'll call you after work ok?" I assured opening the driver's seat to sit down."Sure." She said."Love you." I said sparking the car."Me too." She said and I sighed.I drove of to work and I was impressed at how many of the employees had showed up. I was full of excitement as I walked into the office which said, C.E.O.I took my seat in the large chair and took a look at my agenda for the day.***I was in the car, worn out from work. Today was more tiresome because I had to do a lot at work than before. It was also 6:00pm. I received a call from Starla again, and my heart thumped as I picked up the call."Hey." I spoke. There was silence except for a few sobs."Fuck, Starla, are you crying?" I asked."Bruce.." She whimpered and I frowned in confusion and concern."Yeah?" I answered."L..Let's b..break up." She said."What?!" I asked squeezing the phone."I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry." She said and I frowned confused."Why?" I asked. "Did my parents threaten you?" growled."We're not meant for each other, I'm sorry, I led you on.." She said, and I gulped my throat."Starla, if you're joking, please stop." I begged."I'm not Bruce. Bye. I'm leaving for France." And with that, the line went dead. She broke my heart.Just like that.I was still pensive as my jaw ticked tightly. My broken heart was burning with pain, anger, and frustration.So I sped off to my house, with the intention of drinking all night. Fuck this world.Goldiva's POV I had to wear the same nightwear again this evening because I was still trying to find solutions to my problems.I hadn't even unpacked my clothes yet.Why did I even leave it all to my mum to pack my stuff?!When I woke up this morning, Bruce had already left for work. I had a strange feeling I was in someone's arms, but I concluded to myself it was a hallucination.So I spent the entire day shopping. I bought drinks, vegetables, juices, fruits, painkillers, a blender, cake mixer, egg beaters, spices, sweets, flour, eggs and so many foodstuff.Bruce came home around 9:45pm and he was freshening up. I was in the kitchen, setting up the items from the massive shopping I made.The kitchen was spacious enough so setting up was fun.I finished up everything and sighed, proud of the hard work I had done. I opened the fridge and nodded in satisfaction as well. I turned off the lights in the kitchen and left to make sure everything was intact before I went to bed. I furrowed
Bruce's POV I drowned myself with as much work as possible. I didn't even want to think about what was going on in my life at this moment. But it was so fucking difficult to concentrate on an empty stomach and a broken heart.The departure of Starla had forced me to look at my mess or should I say marriage.I knew I couldn't keep avoiding that gold digger forever but I had to try. I just had to. Starla was still fresh in my memory and the fact that she broke up with me enabled me to extend my anger to.. her as well. I didn't mind, it was her fault anywaysWhenever I saw her I just felt this resentment within me. If she didn't show up, Starla and I would have still been together! Why didn't she ever back off earlier? Especially when I was so cold and rude! She was definitely in for my money. I had a brief memory about looking into a pair of mesmerising honey like doe eyes. I tried to remember more but I just couldn't. Did I hook up with someone?My stomach kept on growling in hunge
Goldiva's POV "Let me go." I squeaked with my eyes closed. I had no other opinion than to wear what I was wearing.So I just mustered up some bravery and wore it. Currently, Bruce had held me captive, and my heart was racing at the way he was even holding my arms.I wish he didn't think whatever he thought of me because, in all honesty, I wouldn't have worn this if I had a choice.I raised my shoulders when he squeezed my arms again."What are you implying by what you're wearing?" He demanded, and I gulped."N..nothing." I whispered."Oh yeah?" He raised a brow."Didn't you have the intention of seducing me? Or let me guess, my mom told you to wear this too.. right?" He asked, his voice getting deeper and husky."No..I never had such intention. And b.. besides if I tried to it wouldn't work so..""You wore it?" He gritted."Yes..I mean no. I mean..my mum packed my clothes." I spoke wondering why my voice was turning squeaky."So the gold digging runs in the blood right?" He sneered.
Goldiva's POV Bruce was actually being weird and that was driving me nuts!I thought for a minute he was going to kiss me. I couldn't believe I would have allowed him!When he was gazing into my eyes and his gaze flickered to my lips and his adam's apple moved, it made me think somehow I made him a bit nervous, as funny as it soundCome to think of it, even though I felt so cheated of my own snack, I'm glad it didn't happen because things would have been so awkward afterwards. I was so angry when he cheated me on the pancakes though. I fried ten and he gave me only three.I got so mad too when he took one of my most favourite fruit juice to top it all. But my anger diminished when he started drinking directly from the box. The way his adam's apple bobbed up and down in his throat made home look kinds sexy.Ugh what was my issue, I'm supposed to be watching a movie to pass time! Not think of him!It was around 10:30 pm and I wanted Bruce to fall asleep before I went to the room. Sat
Bruce's POV Goldie : 01Bruce : 00Great. I lost. I told her there was no way she could seduce me, and there we were, with me unable to resist her.How could any guy resist the natural beauty of a girl like her? She looked so inviting, and I could still remember the feeling of her fingers biting my shoulders and her palms planing on my back. Her hands were so soft, calming, satisfying, and gentle. And damn she smelled so fucking nice.My heart hammered in my chest when I remembered how my lips roamed over her neck and I was so glad, I got the chance to bite her. My desire got more rejuvenated when she released those soft low sounds from her lips, especially when she moaned my name. Like it was the best sound ever.I've never been this intimate with a woman before, probably because i was mostly busy with work and school my whole life. So I really got irked when my phone rang. Even though the call was a bit relevant, it still ruined the moment. I was disappointed when he hung up bec
Goldiva's POV This time I stopped him from kissing me myself because I wanted to assure myself that if he would kiss me, it would be out of a genuine reason and not lust. The way he was checking me out with his eyes lingering on some parts of my body made my ear burn, my heart thump and my tummy twist.When I asked him what he wanted for breakfast, I swear him say, "You." in a very low tone but I caught it and my face burned like hell. It made me feel good in the dress. Maybe too good.I couldn't look at his face because I knew exactly what he meant. Oh damn this guy knew how to make me swoon.After dressing up in a casual outfit which consisted of a bodycon dress, denim jacket and high heeled sandals, I drew my budget in a list form for today's shopping.I lost count of the money most of the time because I was still thinking over how Bruce acted towards me. I finally got to see his caring side and it was really sweet.I put my purse into my handbag and left for the hall. I overhead
Bruce's POV We got to the house and I parked the car in the garage. We got down and took out the groceries inside together. Even though it wasn't really something extraordinary, it felt nice doing stuff like this with her.We sent the items inside, and when I placed the bag in my hand on the island, my phone rang in my pocket. I took it out to see Akin calling. I leaned on the counter and picked up the call while Goldie went about unpacking the groceries. "Dude, what gives? I thought we were supposed to hang out! the guys were waiting for you.""Sorry, man, I got tied up a little." "Well, we're going to the court and then the arcade after...you coming?" The idea of playing basketball and more video games sounded pleasing to me."Okay sure...I'll be there in half an hour." I promised."Alright. " Then he hung up.I stared at her, and she looked so focused on arranging the groceries and other stuff. She definitely was wife material. "Hey," She turned around to face me."Yeah?""I'm
Goldiva's POV"Mom, what the hell? Not her!" I groaned dishing out the rice onto a plate."Whether you like it or not, Verena is coming over for two days or even more." She informed. "I took her in the last time...it's your turn.""More?" I whined pouting as I wiped the sink with a napkin."She's your sister, live with it." She said."Mom, I can't stand that bi-""Mind your language my dear." She warned."She has changed." She said and I scoffed under my breath. My sister being a changed person was the last thing this world was going to see. She was the most nosy and annoying person ever. Even at her grown age."Please dear.." She begged when I was shaping the rice with the scraper."Fine mum. Just two days." I said."Or more." She added and quickly hung up.I stirred the beef and mushroom vegetable stew one more time before I turned off the stove.I dished out the stew into a small bowl before I opened the oven and took out a piece of chicken I grilled and placed it next to the rice.
