Darlington Briggs:I was surprised to enter my bedroom and hear Amara speaking to someone on the phone. I knocked first, but heard no response from her, as I didn't want to bump into her unclothed again. I saw Amara clutching my pillow like she did the previous night when I arrived home and saw her sleeping. However, she was speaking to her boyfriend, I assumed.Although I knew Amara said she hasn't dated anyone, I would have believed her, but with how beautiful and seductive she looked, even though she doesn't know how to dress. I find it hard to believe a pretty lady like Amara hadn't dated someone else before.I was entirely pissed off today, and the only time I had relief was spending time with Amara going shopping. I lied to her that she had body odor. I find it annoying that I was feeling drawn to her. I had vowed never to cheat on Jenna and Jenna wasn't helping matters at all.Jenna declined me from touching her, especially after she knows that I want a baby from her. I called
Darlington's POVThe following morning, I awoke feeling Amara still sleeping on me in bed. She rested her head beside me, still hugging me closely. I wanted to remove her hand and get out of bed, but not wanting to wake her up, I allowed her to continue sleeping.Later, Amara stirred awake and was shocked to see that she had rested her head on me as if I were her pillow."Good morning, I am so sorry. When did you return last night? Why not put the pillow to separate us on the bed?" Amara asked, blushing.I looked at her smiling face, not feeling like responding to her greeting since smiling with her would make me fall in love with her, and I don't want that."Hello, I mean, why didn't you put the pillow in between us last night? I remember holding the pillow. Who removed it?" Amara asked me, but I stood up and went to brush my teeth without responding to her.Amara knocked on the bathroom door, and I knew she was daring me and testing my patience.I didn't reply to the knock, and she
Amara's POV"Wow! That was a nice performance from you. Did you learn music in school? What did you study, and how come you can sing? Did you attend any college in your village?" Samara bombarded me with questions, and for the first time, she looked impressed by me."Well, we used to attend some karaoke in school, and I love to sing at home, but I am not a music student. I am an accountant.""Wow! That means we can work together, but that doesn't mean I have approved you as my sister-in-law. I already have someone in mind to be my brother's wife, and if you are okay with it, we can have some of the songs recorded while you sing them. Is that okay with you?" Samara asked me. I saw she had many songs, and as I didn't have much work to do and with Darlington not feeling interested in making me a mother soon, I gave a nod. "I will think about it, but not today, as I will have to rehearse some of the songs later. Can't you sing them by yourself?" I asked Samara, looking at her face. She sm
Amara's Point of ViewA month had passed since Darlington and I started sharing his bedroom. I got along with Samara Briggs, mostly when her mother was not around. I helped Samara work on her songs. I cannot say our friendship is pure, as I had seen her answering phone calls regarding Darlington's lover.I had heard from Samara that Jenna is her best friend. Although Samara didn't want to give me precise knowledge on when she and Jenna became friends, they still communicated while she kept it away from Jenna that Darlington and I were married. During one of Samara's live chats, she told Jenna that I'm a neighbor living close by and we met in the studio while I'm helping her work on her songs.I didn't want to speak with Jenna, I'm not so good at lying. But knowing I would soon be going home in five months, since Darlington doesn't want us to be intimate, I respect his commitment but keep my distance whenever Samara is on a live chat with Jenna.Waking up in the bedroom I had been shar
Amara's POV I left the Briggs family house and got an Uber to take me to my destination. I arrived at the shopping boutique where I had done my last shopping, and noticed that I was gaining a hundred thousand followers. Some fans were wondering if I was Darlington Briggs' new girlfriend.I didn't reply to the new fans' queries. While some wanted to know more about me, others were dragging me and abusing me online for dating my another lady's fiancé.I could have cleared the air by telling those fans that I am married to Darlington Briggs, not just dating him. However, I knew that if I bragged about Darlington being my husband in public, he would get mad and distance himself from me. So, I chose not to respond to the fans' questions since Darlington hadn't replied to the fans or followed my online page."Welcome, Ma. What would you like to shop for today?" The clerk on duty rushed up to me with a smile on her face. She was the same lady who had attended to me the last time."Just coat
Darlington Briggs:I was still in turmoil in my room knowing that Amara would have to make a public appearance with me at my father's company the following day. I totally forgot about my relationship with Jenna the last time, I made a public appearance with Amara. When we went shopping, and I bought ice-creams for her, presuming it was something Jenna liked. I had thought all girls liked ice-cream too."What am I going to do now?" Amara had been behaving stubbornly with me. I don't know if she's aware that she's trending online. I had expected Jenna to call me and accuse me of cheating, especially after my shopping excursion with Amara went viral.However, after speaking to Jenna today in the office, I made up an excuse about having other work to do, explaining why I hadn't shown up in my office for a while. Jenna asked me why I went shopping with my neighbor and paid for the items with my card. She mentioned that Samara informed her that the lady trending with me online is our neigh
Darlington Briggs:The following morning, I woke up early with a headache. I exit the guestroom and went back to my bedroom upstairs. It was 6 am so most of my family members were still asleep.I entered my sitting room and approached my bedroom door. Knocking on the door, I heard no response from Amara. I didn't want to bump into a naked woman, as I knew how I struggled to sleep the previous night.Slowly, I pushed my bedroom door opened and entered the room. I heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom and knew that Amara was in there, taking her bath.I sighed, went to my closet and selected out the suit and necktie I would wear, alongside my pair of shoes.I awaited for Amara to emerge from the bathroom and she did, tying a white towel around her chest, then she walked up to me to enter the closet.Observing that Amara didn't want to greet me, I pulled her by her wet arm, and swirl her around to face me. "Can't you greet?" I demanded."Stop touching me! I am not your wife f
Amara Nicholas:I did not know how to feel about going to the Briggs groups. When I was in the countryside, My father usually spoke so much about his partnership with Mr. Joshua Briggs. Mr. Joshua usually visited us, although then, I wasn't really interested in getting to know the business he had with my father.I am aware that Mr. Joshua Briggs much like my dad has many legal business running under his company name. He gives out loans as well as support small growing companies too. I was eager to resume in their company, just to be leaving home and spending more time with Darlington.Well, I didn't have to worry about the possibility of the love of his life coming to his office to see him and to kiss him in my presence.Gross! That would hurt.Well, I didn't respond to Darlington's statement in his car. Pulling the back door opened, I got into the back car, fastened my seatbelt and ordered him, "Start the car.""Hmm, you don't order me around," Darlington said, meeting his eyes in th
