After having to think so much that day, I found myself awake staring at the quietness of my room after dinner, tomorrow I would be moving and then trying to fit in a life I don't belong, meeting people, I should not know and trying to get close to a woman and her husband. How classic. I don't know what Hardy's trying to play at, but I needed to have a say in whatever he had to. It was frightening to confront him but I had to. I walked out of my room only to be stopped by two new bodyguard that has been guiding my door ever since I returned. I sighed. I was definitely not trying to escape. "I need to speak with Hardy," I said to them. I don't even know where Hardy room was, in such big villa, even if they let me go, I might just wander around and get lost. The guards both shared a look before one of them walked away. I guess they wanted to pass the message. I stood in my red night dress with the other guard, waiting patiently, collecting everything I needed to say to Hardy,

Shit. I cussed under my breath. Since when did Hardy open the door and how long has he been standing there? Did he actually see how Theodore and I kissed without actually saying anything? But the most eerie question I would like to keep asking is, how the hell did Theodore open the fuckin door without me or Theodore knowing. Hardy just kept getting creepier. I turned to Theodore to see if he had the same freaked out look as me, but was surprised to see him throwing Hardy a questionable look. His brows arched like, what-do-you-want? "I need to speak with Joanne, personally and privately," Hardy stepped inside the room. Theodore looked a bit mad, but didn't try to show so much. "Sure" He sighed, getting on his feet. Throwing me a small smile, Theodore exited the room, closing the door, leaving me with his not looking happy boss. I swallowed. I don't know what I looked like, but I was sure my face was as red as ever, because I had been heating up on the inside since the ki

Hardy’s Pov-I was standing by my wine cellar staring out the Window from my room. Trying to keep my head together after Joanne’s outbursts minutes earlier when Theo walked in.“Got the car where you want it” He said. I nodded.“Okay.. I’ll be out in th-“Are you mad?” I interrupted him.“What?” Theo sounded confused.I took a sip from the glass of wine in my hand and breathed out a sigh.“Mad about what?” He added. I scoffed. “Don’t play clueless Theo . I know you’re mad about earlier and how I want you to stay away from Joanne” “If that’s what you want me to do then it’s something I should do and nothing to be mad about” I couldn’t see him but I could tell he had pulled his annoying calm shrug.“Okay drop the bullshit” I turned to him.“Do you actually like her do you really want her?” Theo raked his hand through his hair and looked away.“I don’t know…” He sighed.I nodded“That pretty much answered my question”He clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing with her.“Well you can l

Joanne…*It was a Thursday morning. And one of the most chaotic mornings I would ever come across since our stay here. My body throbbing from a different angle.Well it was Thursday. Whatever did I expect? I’ll be visiting the White Ale-o house two hours from now for the first time. Getting dolled up by these maids is probably one of the hardest thing I’d also ever encounter.With the hard pulls on my hair, almost getting mascara in my eyes and tweezers almost stabbed in my orbs. The clip earrings that almost bit my ear off, the uncomfortable false fingernails. I almost screamed.I am a pregnant lady, I know I don’t look pregnant… yet, but do I really have to go feeling uncomfortable.After two solid hours of primping me up, I finally got ready. I got on my feet and gave myself when a good stare when all the maids left, leaving just me and trinity in the room.“My goodness you look amazing” Trinity gasped.Exactly the way I expected her to react, she’s such a sweet mouth.“Th

Joanne* The women of the white Ale-o house are nothing special, if there is one thing I've learnt today. They were impolite, though they tried to make an effort to use their words carefully, but in the end they just said whatever they felt like. Whoever it harmed was irrelevant to them. Basically, the club was created after Anna’s fiancé, Asher, gifted her the beautiful Gazebo for her birthday, and wanting to be a show off about it. Anna decided on a women's club where they can help each other out with any difficulties another woman’s facing. And at the end of the year they donate a hefty amount of money for nearby orphanages.Because of the “good” they do and how fancy they dress and are, many people look up to and respect the women of the white Ale-o house.If people walked on sand, these ladies walked on golden eggs. And today I became one of these women. And I really felt sorry for the people who looked up to these ladies thinking they spend their time cracking their wallet
