A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 51
The past two days have been very weird.Let me start from the beginning.I woke up the next day to find myself sleeping on a comfy bed instead of the cold hard floor I had initially slept on. I was wrapped with my duvet on my body like a burrito, with a damp towel on my forehead. As I rose from the bed, I was struck immediately by the throbbing discomfort of a headache, which made me lie back down on the bed. After a few minutes, I slowly sat back up to notice a bottle of water and an Advil on the bedside table. I reached for the bottle and I took a few sips before plunging the Advil down my throat. I took a look around the room to realize I was indeed still in Williams's bedroom.“I am definitely dreaming.” I mumbled to myself because I remember sleeping on the floor yesterday and I knew better than to go near William’s bed, so how did I get here?I turned to the other side of the bed to see a sleeping Williams lying there. I covered my mouth in shock to avoid making any sound in or

I made my way out of the elevator and walked over to Henry’s desk. He looked up as I approached the desk, I greeted him with a small smile on my face.“Good afternoon Mr Henry, How have you been?”“Good, and how have you been, Mrs Armani?”“Henry, You know about all the details surrounding this marriage so there is no need for any formalities, please just call me Bailey”“Alright, so what brings you here Bailey?”“I came to see William, is he in?” I asked, glancing at William’s shut office door for a moment before shifting my attention back to Henry.“Yes, he is in.”“Okay thank you, Um, is he busy?” I ask.“I can't say, but no one is in there with him right now but he will be having a meeting soon.”“Ok thank you, Henry, I won’t be long,” I said before walking over to William’s office door. I took a moment to inhale and exhale before raising my hand to form a fist and knock but I stopped midway as I dropped my hand back to my side as I remembered two different scenarios, the first be

By the time I woke up in the morning, William was long gone. I still couldn’t believe he’d actually let me stay in his bed to sleep last night. Even when I woke up this morning, I still felt as though I had imagined the whole thing. I guess under that hard and cold exterior, he still has a little bit of human attributes.I didn't have anything planned for today. I was going to spend the whole day at home. William’s father, Mathew, wasn't home either. They both had things to do concerning the so-called launch happening soon which I didn't even know about and I’m supposed to portray the role of a supporting housewife. I miss the days of working at the cafe. It wasn't that fun but at least it felt way better than being in this huge mansion by myself.Since I wasn’t going anywhere today, I decided on a black tank top and sweatpants to spend the day in. I ate my breakfast in the kitchen as I spoke with Mario and Agatha since I woke up late and their shift would soon be over.I’ve been waki

Staring at myself in the mirror, I smoothed the fabric of the satin cobalt gown catching a glimpse of the huge rock that sat on my ring finger which I seemed to have forgotten all about before now. The cowl neckline accentuated my chest area, giving my boobs a great allure. My hair was packed up in a neat chignon bun and the very low backline accentuated my neck and my spine giving me an air of a seductress. The cobalt gown rested mid-thigh and I was extremely comfortable in it, I embraced the confidence it gave me.My makeup was done to perfection as it highlighted my features and still made me look so simple at the same time. On my ear were a pair of silver earrings that also highlighted my neck. The gown was paired with the long white strappy heels and small purse Hazel had shown me earlier.“Are you ready?” Hazel asks, coming to stand behind me as I stare at myself in the mirror. She did a brilliant job doing my hair and makeup and also picking out the outfit for me. She certainly

“How did you know I was here?” I ask Hazel as she walks through the doors of the patio. She was dressed in a black turtle neck top, a brown jean skirt, and black shoes. I was resting at the poolside, laying back on a lounge chair in shorts with a white round neck crop top and sunglasses resting on my nose.Yesterday when I came back from the art gallery, I immediately got in the shower, changed into my pajamas and went straight to bed. Eating was the last thing on my mind and I didn’t end up consuming anything at the event yesterday either. I only drank a lot of champagne.Hazel walked over to the lounge chair beside me and sat down facing me. “I asked Agatha and she directed me here.” She turns her gaze to the large pool before turning back to me. “Wow Bailey, look at this view, so beautiful,” She gushed over the pool and I nodded in agreement joining her to take in the view.Perhaps I’ll invite all my friends over sometime but I'll have to ask William first. Uggh, I groaned out lou

“You’ll fit in just right Bailey, don’t fret,” Hazel said assuring me as we walked into my room.“Is that a nicer way to say I’m stuck up?” I ask jokingly and she snorts.“Not at all. You’re anything but stuck-up, I mean you will fit in, maybe not immediately cause it might seem a little awkward but you’ll also bring positive change, maybe help in broadening their horizon so it won’t only be for the wealthy.”“Yeah, maybe,” I mutter“Alright, let’s get you ready,” she says making her way into the closet while I sit on the bed waiting for what outfit she picks out for me to wear to this gathering knowing fully well she’ll pick something nice.We spent the next three hours going through basic etiquette lessons and also what to do while having tea. It was a whole thing. Once we were done with that, I put on the pastel pink colored A-line gown that stopped a few inches above my knee and had long puffy sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The gown was paired with a white stiletto heel, pearl

“Good morning Hazel, do I have another event today?” I greeted her as I answered the phone.“Morning Bailey, no you don’t. I’m only calling to tell you that you need to make space in your closet.”“Space for what?” I ask because I haven’t even worn up to half of the clothes there.“More clothes. You can’t repeat the outfits you’ve already worn out for events, especially now that you are a member of the ladies’ society, you’ll have to replace them.”“That is such a waste, what’s going to happen to the clothes?” I ask.“Anything you want. We could give them away or throw them out, your choice.”“No, we'll give them out to people, there are a lot of people out there who would be grateful. I’ll also give some of them to my friends. I hope that's okay?”“Yes it is, I’ll talk to you later, bye.”“Bye,” I say and end the call by placing my phone face down on the kitchen table.It’s been a week since I got the invitation to the lady society and attended. When Cedrick and Hazel came to pick me

Mario walked out of the patio doors with a tray in hand containing what I assume to be the snacks he said he was going to get since I couldn’t see the contents of the tray from where I sat.He wasn’t wearing his usual chef uniform I was used to seeing him in, instead, he was wearing black jeans and a navy blue crew neck knitted sweater with its sleeves rolled to his elbow and his tattoos on display. The girls watched as he walked to where we sat and placed the tray on the table.“Hello, ladies.” He greets them before turning to me. “Here Bailey, as promised,” he said, gesturing to the snack tray.“Thank you very much.”“Yeah, I’ll be leaving now.”“Why, is it twelve already?” I ask and he nods.“Yeah, see you tomorrow,” he says, saluting with his index and middle finger before leaving. We all watched as he walked away from the pool area and back into the house through the patio doors until he was out of sight before they turned to me.“I repeat, who was that?” May ask.“My, My, he loo
