Taina POVI have never seen Nek look so angry, in all my 3 years of working for him; the most emotion I have gotten whenever I make an error is “it’s okay”. I can’t really tell what I did wrong, I glance sideways at Nek but I can’t see his face, just his side view; he’s purposely avoiding looking at me.“You said you were going to get some personal things” Nek turns his head towards me; he looks slightly annoyed but still keeps a cool expression. Lately I’ve realized that’s what I hate most about him, I can never really tell what’s going on in his head. It always feels like someone hurt him and now others including myself, have to suffer for this.“I never told you where I was going, I just told you that I was heading out. It’s never good too assume”, I always avoid arguments with Nek once I sense he’s angry; I just go I’m sorry or I’ll do something about the situation. But I’m not wrong this time and I’m not apologizing.Nek doesn’t look so happy with my response, I guess that’s not

Taina POVI’m already 15 minutes behind schedule, I grab my bag and head for the door; I wonder what time Nek heads to church. Anyway from his attitude earlier, I can tell that he didn’t want to seen in Church with me.“Are you ready, let’s go”“What do you mean am I ready, I asked if we could go together and you definitely acted like you didn’t want me there. Don’t worry I have my a Church where I worship” I say in a rush“Husband and wife should go to the same church, I’ve been waiting for you for over 30 minutes; it’d be a waste if I went to Church without you”From Neks loosened tie, to the fact that it looks like he’s been patiently waiting for me on the sofa, I can tell he’s not lying.“Umm okay, thanks for waiting; but next time just tell me you’re ready and I’ll rush whatever I’m doing” i spurt out before thinking; silly of me to think we’ll do this again.Nek looks like he’s tired of waiting for me, I can tell because he keeps checking his watch; doesn’t he know it’s rude to

The alarm clock rings at exactly 5am, signaling to me that it’s time to get up for work. It’s Monday, can’t say I hate it but can’t say I love it either. I reach out to to find my alarm with my eyes still closed, I finally feel the round object and switch it off.I’m about to doze off again when I remember that it’s my first day at work as Nek's secretary/ wife; but people wouldn’t know that, just the two of us. This clears the sleep from my eyes not because I’m excited but because I’m nervous; you can never tell what’s Nek's up to. I get out of bed, wear my robe and head for the kitchen; I can’t survive the day without grabbing breakfast. Nek isn't downstairs, I’m guessing he’s not a breakfast person on weekdays; makes sense. I make enough scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice for two, then set the table and have my breakfast. When Nek gets downstairs he can decide if he wants to eat the food or not; at least I made an effort.After deciding I’m full, I rush back upstairs to get re

“Where have you been; I’ve been calling your line for the past 30 minutes. Did you expect me to leave my office and search for you at a random restaurant. My meeting is the next 30 minutes; get everything ready” Nek looks upset as he furiously glares at me.I can’t really understand what I did wrong; I’m entitled to a one hour break and seeing that I left a note I think I’m justified. Nek is unpredictable; sometimes he’s nice and sometimes he’s the devil himself.One think I’ve learnt about Nek in my 3 years of working with him is that he’d be mean to you, and expect you to take it with a smile and a cherry on top. But what can I do; it's not like I have another job with a better offer waiting for me somewhere.Nek glares at me as he patiently waits for my response, “yes sir, I’ll call Mr. Fad's secretary and inquire if he’s ready for the meeting. Would that be all?” I add, i have the urge to berate him for shouting at me, but I remember that I’m the employee here.Nek eases on the sc

Nek POVBy the time we get home; Taina’s had fallen asleep. I drive into the house noticing the Benz I gifted her; it has remained untouched since the incident with cete. To be honest I was a bit upset that she didn’t drive the car I gifted her; afterall the main purpose of the gift was for her to stop using the bus.But after our bits of conversation, I understand she’s just trying to keep things low key; her showing up with a Benz would only cause suspicions. Maybe I should increase her salary; that could help matters.“Taina”, I gently tap her; she rubs her eyes as she slowly takes note of her surroundings before her eyes finally land one me, “we’re home?” she sleepily asksI’m not big on placing sentimental attachment to houses; I have many houses all over Yula, I stay there as need arises. But when Taina refers to this place as home; it creates a warm fuzzy feeling in me, making me think about what could be if we give this marriage a chance.I’m attracted to Taina and I’ve grown
