Chapter 24
Everyday, Gina tried hard to not see any new reason to dislike Henry, but she always outside her. Now that they were back at home, she wanted nothing more than to unwind and stay as far from him as possible. But apparently, he was also going to make that one hard. Even worse was how he thrust his life into her plans and stopped her from doing what she wanted. Before she even started arguing, she already knew he would bring up the issue of her being bound to him by a contract. Still, it didn't stop her from glaring at him with as much iciness as she could muster.
"Why can't I go? What's your reason this time?" She questioned, walking further into the house followed by him and the guards who quickly moved to carry their things upstairs. It must not have been more than two seconds they used to carry everything and judging by the way Henry's eyes followed them, she was certain he was waiting for them to leave so he could say whatever was on his mind.

For a moment, Henry was too stunned to say anything. There was no way his mother could fully explained her words to him that he understood, because now he felt for certain she was only making excuses. How could she tell him that she wouldn't be able to give him control of the company and other properties until she was fully sure of the marriage? At this point, he could no longer understand and a part of him tried not to feel betrayed at their change of heart towards him. So instead, he shook his head and tried to ask her again. "What do you mean by that? Do you still think my marriage is a sham? You, of all people."His mother ignored his tone of voice and tried to laugh the seriousness out of the air, but Henry wasn't having it so she sighed. "You can't really blame me, son. You would do the same if you were in my shoes. Your father and I asked you to get married for more than five years, and after your realized we wouldn't give you the properties until you did so, you instantly foun

Gina went into the event hall with a lot of things on her mind. On one hand, she was still reeling from the stress Henry put her through by making her cancel her date with her best friend. Yet, there he was, wearing the suit she got for him after he admonished her on getting him anything. To even think he told her he didn't like the colour and had so many others. Then again, she could tell that there was something on his mind but she didn't want to ask because she felt there wouldn't be a response. Above all, she just wanted to have a good night that was worth her while.So when they stepped in and she began to receive looks from everyone, she couldn't help but smile. She really liked being the centre of attention in a positive way, and if this was it, then maybe she would be able to open up at the party. She smiled as Henry clasped her hand and moved forward, greeting people along the way and introducing him as his wife to anyone who listened. Deep down, she kn

For the first time that night, Gina felt at peace. There she sat, lamenting to her mother how her husband and his family demeaned her. While Henry acted like he had mood swings most of the time, his cousins were downright mean and insulting to her. She had no idea what they had been saying behind her back, and as at that moment, the only person she could remotely trust was Henry's mother. But even her affections weren't guaranteed as she had the suspicion that the woman still didn't trust them. If that was so, then she needed to keep the Thorn family at arm's length.As Gina talked, she watched her mother's chest go up and down in a steady moton.

The first thing Henry did when he got to his room was sigh. It had been a very long day which ended up being the opposite of the plans he made. Kicking off his shoes, he quickly ran a hot shower but it did nothing to calm his nerves and few minutes later, he stepped out still feeling restless. Just then, he heard the unmistakable padding of Gina's feet as she made her way to her room. He ignored it and looked in the mirror, trying to figure out why he suddenly felt restless. Though his wife came back late, he only started feeling like this less than an hour ago and he couldn't figure out why.Was it because he couldn't get total ownership of his father's properties? True, the negative response of the family lawyer and his mother overwhelmed him and made him mad, but he could move past it.

Fifteen minutes into the run, Henry couldn't hold it anymore. He was very bothered by the silence from Gina's end and for some seconds, he turned to her, watching as she counted numbers in a low tone. He had been trying to get her to talk for some time, but each time, she shushed him and continued on. Gina gave him the impression she was still angry about last night's argument and he didn't know how to broach the conversation with her. So he continued to jog beside her, noticing how she seemed to move away even further.He hadn't wanted to go for a run that morning, as his initial plan was to sleep in and do some work later. However, he came out to see her looking quite different and withdrawn, so the idea instantly popped into his mind. He still felt bad about having to force her to tag him along, but he couldn't help it. If he hadn't done so, she might have come back more angry. But even now as the both of them were present, he still felt alone. The main issue was that he didn't kno

Gina felt energized when she finally reached the house, and she smiled at her efforts. She had greatly surpassed her previous feats of jogging and a part of her knew it was because her anger had nicely tipped onto a boil and rolled over. Still, she felt grateful for it and refused to acknowledge Henry as he came behind her, panting like a dying cat. She would have laughed at his weak efforts, but she wasn't in the mood for it, and besides, she already told him off so there was no reason to act friendly now.As she headed upstairs, her phone began to ring and she pulled it out to see a text from her longtime friend. The girl was in the city for some days, and wanted to hang out. Gina smiled as she moved towards her room, happy there would be a small break from her mundane life. However, something stopped her in her tracks and she sighed loudly before turning to her husband who sat on a stool, shamelessly gulping down a bottle of water. It was the most unrefined she had ever seen him, a

"Okay, okay. So I have another question. What was the highlight of your relationship?"This time, Gina burst into a laugh because she easily knew the answer to the question. Henry had spent the first few days complaining about it, and while at the time she was really distraught, now she found it funny and well deserving."It was a few days after we met. I discovered my ex boyfriend was cheating on me, and I felt so stressed and hungry. Coming back from work, I saw someone who looked like him and without thinking, I poured the person a cup of water only for the guy to remove his glass and it was my new friend, Henry. It was really embarrassing, and I spent the whole day apologizing."The table was silent for a moment, and she began to wonder if she told the wrong story. Would the adults see it as insulting and demeaning? Gina was about to start apologizing, when Henry's mother and aunt burst into a laugh."Oh, my. That's something. Why did you apologize to him? It was simply nature's w
