Mr Darlington Ex Wife CHAPTER 15
Amara Nicholas:"My daughter-in-law, don't mind what Samara had said to you earlier, okay?" Mr. Joshua spoke to me again in a polite tone as we went upstairs. "Okay, sir." I responded to him.I was exhausted and famished from traveling a long distance to the Briggs home. I wanted to take a refreshing bath to rest."I am fine, sir. But I would like to have a bath to calm myself from the long hours of travel," I said."Okay," Mr. Joshua replied."Come with me. Let me show you upstairs to your husband's room. Darlington went out to get something. But I have already called him and informed him that you're already here with us," Mr. Joshua said as he led me upstairs.I stared backward and saw Mrs. Ifeoma Briggs climbing the stairs with us. She seemed like she was going to her room.I wondered why Darlington wouldn't be at home to welcome me, knowing that I was also arriving at their mansion.I kept silent and walked with Mr. Joshua, who was nice enough to speak to me and show me around the
Mr Darlington Ex Wife CHAPTER 16
Darlington Briggs:I arrived late, at around 9 p.m., after leaving the hotel where I had a meeting with Jenna. I was not happy with Jenna's refusal to agree to get pregnant for me, but I still love Jenna.I tried to understand with Jenna that she is a top model in our country, and it matters the most to her to maintain her look and to keep being famous.I remembered Jenna's words about me accepting a surrogate mother with her. Well, I could have received it, but still, I wouldn't say I liked the idea of that.I drove my black car into my father's mansion premises and parked. I got out of the car and went into the living room, expecting to see my parents there and, more likely, the new lady that my father had married on my behalf, but as I got into the living room, I met only Samara and our maid."Good evening, big brother," Samara rushed up to meet me excitedly. She was wearing a white night dress, and I hugged her politely before letting go of her."Well done. Where are Mom and Dad?"

Darlington Briggs;I finally broke the silence between us as my face turned strict to hide the fact that I admired this lady.I felt like I had seen her somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where exactly I had seen her."So, you traveled here for an arranged marriage with me? Do you think that I want to marry you? Why would you accept to come here to my family home without waiting for me to agree on this or not?".I questioned the lady in an annoying tone, and she stared downward and apologized seductively, saying, "I'm sorry about how you feel about all these. But I didn't want to marry you too. My father insisted, and I couldn't disrespect him.""Hmm..." I saw her shivering due to the cold weather, and my bedroom ceiling fan was on and rotating speedily alongside the air conditioning, which was switched on.I strode to the fan, switched it off, and felt her intense gaze. I wasn't so comfortable meeting her blue orbs. She looks pretty, but I made it clear to her."I will not marr
Mr Darlington Ex Wife CHAPTER 18
Amara Nicholas, I hadn't expected Darlington and his mother to yell at me. I had only stepped outside the bedroom to have my dinner downstairs with them since I was hungry, and it was only suitable that I come out of the bedroom to inquire about my dinner from them.I knew that Mrs. Ifeoma hated me from the moment that she laid her eyes on me. She didn't acknowledge my presence and wanted me out of her mansion.I am not a village lady, and the way she addressed me with insults made me sad. I wondered if I had met her somewhere before, and I thought to ask my mother about Mrs. Ifeoma.I went downstairs to the dining room. The mansion was vast, like my father's mansion. It was almost similar to my father's new mansion, which I had left in the countryside where I had grown up. It was far more extensive than this house. Yet Mrs. Ifeoma mistreated me just after meeting me for the first time.I tried not to cry, as I wasn't prepared for all this family drama. I love to have my peace, as my

Darlington Briggs;"Hmm, You see what you have all caused. You all showed your shrewd behaviors towards Amara on the first day of her arrival. If she leaves this house, then you will all leave this house too, and I will seize every asset that you all have," my father gave out his warning as he rose from his dinner chair and walked towards the staircase.I was still silent, and my mother and Amara were stunned at the new lady's behavior. She indirectly accused us of trying to poison her, and even though she didn't say it directly, her actions already stated that she suspected us."Just look at. Only today, others are celebrating in their homes. We are here having to deal with a stranger, a lowly human for that matter," Amara cursed, just after my father had finished washing his hands and left us at the dining table to check upstairs on the lady who had darted away."Hmm," I wasn't happy with all of these, but I couldn't voice it out. I knew my father's influence, and he was not joking.
Mr Darlington Ex Wife CHAPTER 20
Darlington Briggs;I stayed in the living room; shortly after, I had dismissed the maid to go upstairs and deliver the dinner to Amara.I wouldn't accept her as my wife, although I knew my father wasn't joking. I wasn't a kid to be swayed. I am 30 years old, not a young boy for my father to control however he pleased.I remember not having my phone, as I had rushed out of the sitting room and went downstairs to inform the maid. Growing tired, I went upstairs to my sitting room again to get my phone and change my purple T-shirt and black pants into a warm night robe.I needed to take my evening bath, and I thought about using a guest room downstairs as I didn't want to share my space with Amara.I got into my sitting room, as the entire mansion was now eerily silent. It was past 11 pm, yet my family and I were still awake because we now had a new addition to our home.She comfortably sat on the couch and ate her food on a small stool placed in front of her. She licked her fingers and st

Darlington Briggs;Amara frowned and asked me, "Did you not attend Country Z private university?" I froze and looked at Amara as she mentioned the year I had graduated as the year she met me."Hmm, all that is past tense now. I have a woman in my life now that I am in love with, and I cannot accept you.""Okay. Then I will stay on a month's holiday here. After that, I will return home to my family's house in the countryside," Amara said, casually stretching again on the couch."Fine," I looked away from Amara, seeing that her movement attracted me to admire her more.I wanted to go downstairs for a good night's sleep; however, Amara asked me, in her charming soft voice, "Can I sleep here on the couch?""No. So that you can report me to my father tomorrow, get up, and go inside my bedroom and sleep there. I will be going downstairs to sleep. Or isn't that why you're here, to share my property and become my wife too by force?""No," Amara responded and looked away from me, blushing. I sa
Mr Darlington Ex Wife CHAPTER 22
Amara Nicholas:I woke up in the sumptuous bedroom, thinking that Darlington had slept on the bed with me. I saw when he returned back the previous night to his room and took his phone. Well, I fell asleep on the bed and drifted off to sleep, ensuring to create a space on the bed between us, just in case Darlington returned to the room again to sleep.I awoke and found out that I was alone in the room, with the sound of my phone ringing on the shelf. I glanced at where I had kept my phone the previous night, took it, and saw my father actually phoning me."Hello, Dad, Good morning," I greeted, and heard my father's calm response, "Amara, how was your night?""Fine, Dad, and yours?""Good! Actually, I called Mr. Joshua Briggs this morning, and he informed me that you have finally agreed to stay with them for a while, probably a month or two, to get acquainted with Darlington. Is that so?""Yes, Dad, I thought about it, and accepted too," I said, stealing a quick glance at the room clock
