Carter's parents bought us a house in a very beautiful estate. I didn't know how the house was but when we got there I was astounded. It is a mansion, too big for newlyweds if I must say. We arrived home in the evening, tired. A chauffeur was already waiting for us as soon as we arrived. So he drove us home and helped with the luggage too. After he was done, he bowed and left. Now, it's just me and my beloved husband, I scoffed as the thought came to mind. "Should we eat out or order in?" He asked me as he sat on the couch "Let's just order in. It'd be stressful for you to drive again." I answered as I went upstairs Facing the stairs there was two rooms beside eachother and one room at the left and right side, situated at the end of the hall. I still haven't forgotten his words because they refused to leave my head. I pulled my luggage and walked to the right end of the hall. I breathed in and out then opened it. It was big and spacious but I knew the maste
The ride home was silent. Even though Carter tried to break the silence, I only answered with one word or nod my head. He didn't want to probe me further so he stopped. We got home and the driver helped with the groceries inside. He did that alongside the driver. I waited till they dispatched the whole groceries inside and he came to sit down. Still not talking, I went to the kitchen to arrange the groceries in the fridge and some in the cupboard. It was afternoon so I decided to make Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken. I brought out the fresh lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese. It took me some minutes but eventually I finished. I served the food and went back to clean the kitchen. By the time I came out Carter was already seated at the dining and was tapping his feet impatiently. I stiffled a laugh then went to sit. I served his food and pushed the plate to him and then dished out mine. "This tastes heavenly." He winked at me. I ignored him and focused on
AVINA'S POV These past three weeks has been hectic and stressful. Immediately I got to the office, my workers did a little welcome party for me and presented me with some gifts which of course I appreciated. On getting to my cabin, it felt like Kate wasn't doing anything while I was away. The works piled up and I could see myself fainting and waking up while working. Carter was also helpful and sweet. Not like he helped me out with my works but he brought foods to my office most of the time I don't go out for lunch. The D-Day for showcasing our new designs was stressful and eventful. Elena provided us with top list models from her agency and she did the last walkway, which she graced elegantly with her poise, elegance and beauty. I met alot of people and new business partners introduced to me by my in-laws and Carter also, who wouldn't stop bragging and showing me off. While all these were going on, I excused myself to use the bathroom. On coming back, I saw
It is a very bright morning. The sun shone from the sky into the well-decorated room through the opened curtains. The birds chirped happily as they flew about in the sky. I kept turning around on my bed until I fell off. I groaned painfully as I stood up. Rubbing my eyes, I stretched and yawned lazily. I looked at the clock beside my lamp and realized how long I had slept. I was tidying up my bed when I heard a loud voice yelling my name. "Argh" I groaned, stamping my feet on the floor. "I'm coming" I answered back to whoever it is that was calling me. I finished arranging my room and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I was done, I rinsed my face and went to meet whoever it is that was shouting my name. I descended the stairs and saw my stepmother and sister sitting at the dining table. I greeted both of them and sat down opposite my stepmother. "What took you so long to get out of bed?" My stepmother asked. "I was arrangi
I was hearing muffled, inaudible voices. A thought popped up in my head, "Am I dead??", so I tried opening my eyes and I was welcomed by the white colour of the room that almost blinded my eye. Then I thought again, "Am I in heaven??" Still thinking, I shook my head vigorously saying it isn't possible. While in my trance, I felt a hand on my shoulders, shaking me, trying to get me out of my thoughts. Then those voices again called out to me and this time it was loud and clear. Slowly, I opened my eyes and the smell of antiseptic and drugs hit my nose. That was when I realised I was in the hospital. "Thank God, she's awake" I heard my dad saying "Let me check her vitals" The doctor said while my dad made way for him to do his job "Can you hear me Miss Walker?" the doctor asked I didn't answer. "If you can hear me, move your eyes to the left" he instructed. I did as he instructed. He gave me a few more instructions which I did. Satisfied
WALKER'S RESIDENCE This family and drama. Dad should have allowed sleeping dogs lie, now I'm developing an headache. "Enough!!!" I screamed turning everyone's attention to me "Dad, I appreciate all you're trying to do but I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie. The deed has been done and can't be rectified so let's just end it here." I begged my dad He looked at me in a way I didn't like; with pity, pain and another feeling I can't fathom. I know he thinks it's all his fault but I'm not even in the mood to assure him that he has nothing to do with what happened. I stood up, looked at everyone and went up to my room. When I got up, I made sure to lock my door and leave the bathroom door open. I took my bath and then came out of the bathroom. I dried my body, applied my body cream and went to pick my clothes. I wasn't in the mood to dress up so I picked a white hoodie and shorts then I wore white sneakers, picked a black bag and shades. I went back to
I got home later in the night. My dad and stepmom were conversing when I entered "Good evening Dad" I greeted "How was your outing" my dad inquired "It went well and it was productive" I answered "Alright princess" he smiled "Have you had dinner?" my stepmom asked "I'm full. Thanks" I said I went up to my room after pecking my dad. I went upstairs and flung myself on the bed. I heaved a sigh of exhaustion. I lay there for like two minutes before I went to freshen up. I finished showering and then changed into my nightwear. I climbed onto my bed and brought out my laptop and sketchpad. Checking through the designs, I felt satisfied with what I've done so I decided to do the finishing touch to the bride's dress. As I was working, I was also munching the waffles I got from the coffee shop. Two hours later, I was done and I packed up and then went to bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE NEXT MORNING I couldn't sleep a wink last night. Emo
She turned back to look at whoever intruded them and saw me standing. She felt shocked because she didn't expect to see me but made no move to stop what she was doing. She was in the room with a man, smoking and puffing weed. It's a different story if there were just smoking but she was smoking the weed and passed it into the guy's mouth by kissing him. She was on top of the guy and he was lying flat on the bed. I couldn't withstand the sight anymore and left the house. I got into my car and kept banging the steering wheel like it was the cause of my frustration. I drove out of the compound straight to my parent's house. They were shocked to see me when I entered looking all weak and broken. My mum was the first to rush up to me and I just couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears in her arms. She didn't say anything but kept patting my head and my back. We stood there for like 2 minutes and when I was done, she walked me to the chair and we sat dow
