I woke up earlier than usual today, I had just kept on tossing and turning all night. The house is going to have to take some getting used to.I stretched my limbs while jumping off the bed, I quickly made the bed before heading towards the bathroom. I ran my hands through my hair as I walked lazily into the bathroom, I reached into the bag I brought in yesterday for my toothbrush to brush my teeth before going into the shower.After showering, I glanced at the little clock sitting on the tableside for the time and I still had three and a half hours before Cedrick would come to pick me up. I changed into a comfortable outfit before making my way down to the kitchen where I met Agatha. As I made my way to the kitchen, I couldn't help gawking at everything in this house, the whole interior was so exquisite.“Good morning Mrs Agatha.” I greet her“Good morning Bailey. I placed your breakfast on the table.”“Thank you. I don’t know if I’ve asked this before but do you also live here?”“N
William tossed the files he was holding rudely on the table in front of Mr. White. Mr. White unfurls the files and brings out our signed marriage certificate. He read through it first, making uncanny hmmn sounds. He locked his gaze with me after reading and I felt as though he was using his eyes to interrogate me, trying to break me into saying this marriage was all a sham from the pressure of the eye contact but I wouldn’t dare do that, I knew better than that, I also knew what was at stake, there was a humongous fine hanging over my head. “You’ve seen the certificate, White, so read the fucking will,” William says breaking Mr. White’s gaze from mine and I held myself from giving out a sigh of relief. Mr White stares at the certificate once more before placing it back into the file he removed it from, handing it back to William.He unlocks one of his drawers and brings out a sealed brown Manila envelope, clearing his throat before reading out loud. “You don’t know how happy I am th
I woke up this morning and did my normal routine before heading down to the kitchen in my black sweatpants and tank top. I walked past the dining area and into the kitchen. “Bonjour, you must be Mrs. Armani.” A man dressed in black jeans and a black chef shirt says turning to me. His forearms were fully tattooed from what I could see showing from the shirt he wore and they looked like they extended up his arm.“Yeah, but you don’t have to call me that. Please just call me Bailey and you must be Chef Mario.”“In the flesh.” He says grinning. “What would you like to have for breakfast?”“I don’t know anything you want to make but I would love to assist there is really nothing to do here and I have just been here for a day.”“Alright, lady boss. There’s a spare apron in the storage.” He says pointing at the door. I walk to the door and open it. At the door side, I pick up the light blue apron and put it on, closing the storage door behind me as I knot the apron.“So Chef, what are we ma
We left May's apartment and we made our way to her car. Once we were seated and secured, she put the key into the ignition, started the engine, and drove out of her place.“How is everything at the club?”“Not bad to say the least, Robin asked of you and he was quite shocked to hear that you got married. I was even surprised to hear he found out from a magazine he doesn't look like someone who reads celebrity magazines. Then on the other side, we have John who is still very bitter and pervy as per usual. His ego still keeps on increasing daily like an inflating balloon, he keeps on declaring if any one of us should fuck up, he’ll fire us as he did to you, and In my mind, I am always like “bitch, please.” And also that odd man, you know, your regular, what was his name again?” she asks, holding the steering wheel with one hand and snapping her free fingers trying to remember his name.“Is it Colton?” I said.“Yeah, him. He kept on asking for you and only you and eventually I guess he m
The golden rays of the sun flooding into my room the next day woke me up, It was as though the sun was reaching out to me, inviting me to start the day, I grumbled to myself as I walked over to my phone on the table to check the time and it was past eight William would probably be gone by now I thought to myself as I made my way down the stairs. I passed by the dining area and checked that the plate I had left there wasn’t there anymore. Maybe he ended up eating the food. I thought as I pushed the kitchen door open.“Good morning Agatha.” Agatha was coming out of the storage room and she took a glance at me upon hearing the sound of my voice.“Good morning my dear, How was your night? “It was good.” “Dear, did you forget to have dinner yesterday?” “No, is anything wrong?” I asked confused.“Nothing dear, It was just that when I came up this morning, I'd seen a wrapped plate of pot roast on the dining table, and William doesn't leave things around I'd figured maybe you'd forgotten
Yesterday, the exhaustion caught up to me as Cedrick drove me home. The smooth ride lulled me to sleep and I kept fighting to keep my eyes open throughout the ride. Immediately Cedrick dropped me off and I bid him goodnight, William wasn’t done at work at the time I came back so I didn’t bump into him as I made my way up to my room. I showered, changed into my pajamas with sleepy eyes as the shower didn’t help me stay awake, and went to bed.I hummed to myself as I rinse off soap from my skin under the shower. I woke up quite early today with a hungry stomach since I didn’t eat last night before going to bed. I turn off the shower and dry myself up with my towel before wrapping it around myself and walking out of the bathroom closing the door behind me.I turned and released a shrill noise, basically jumping out of my skin as I held my towel tighter and closed my eyes before opening it again and meeting William’s gaze.What did he want and when did he get into my room? This was the
Cedrick pulled up in front of the library, As I climbed into the car, I noticed a figure in the front seat- it was William's dad, How was he already here, I thought I was supposed to pick him up from the airport, a thousand thought clouded my head as I sat down. “Hello Bailey dear, how have you been and where William?” William’s dad asks me as Cedrick drives.“I have been good sir and Williams is at the office How are you here already? I was supposed to come pick you up.”“Ohh dear.” he chuckled “I thought you and William would come to pick me up at the airport so I figured I would surprise the both of you. But that lad never fails to surprise me.”“I was surprised sir, so how is everything at home, how are you, how is Aunt Celia?”“I’m fine and she’s fine too, she sends her greetings. And I have told you to call me Mathew, We are family now, and hearing you call me sir makes me feel like an oldie.” He says and I laugh while nodding yes.“And why didn’t that son of mine come with you?
The sun shone on my face, stirring me from my sleep. I glanced around the room as I struggled to unwrap myself from my duvet. I must have entangled myself in my sleep. I finally freed myself as I raised my head to take a peek around the room and William was nowhere to be found, he must have gone early to work as usual. I got up from the floor that I slept on last night. I felt the coldness of the tiles through the duvet. This made me remember the last time I slept on the floor in his dad's house. At least that time, there was a comfy rug, it provided a bit of comfort.I stretched out my sore limbs, sleeping on the floor would do that to you, it was so uncomfortable and this was how I was going to spend the next heaven knows how many nights. I folded up my duvet and placed it in the corner with my pillow.I poked my head out of the room to ensure Mathew wasn’t around before I silently made my way out of William’s room and walked to mine. I glanced at the bed and was tempted to crawl in
