BUSTED.She went to her room deep in thought. Winnifred couldn't explain why Ares sent her out of his room all of a sudden.They were doing quite alright. Did she say or do anything wrong? She couldn't tell.She lay on her bed and started playing everything in her head over again.From when she went to his room to when he told her to leave.When she made a statement about him hating her, she thought she saw something in his eyes, pain? She wasn't sure though because why would that make him feel pain. It was the truth after all.She continued thinking until she slowly drifted off to sleep.Ares.I can't believe I almost let my guard down. What exactly was I thinking? I should have just told her to leave that first time.Ares, you better get your shit together, this can never happen again.And with that, I went to bed.Winnie.I woke up the next morning feeling down. I didn't know why but I think it was because of what transpired between Ares and I last night. I couldn't seem to get
AT THE BAKERY.Ares.“You really do like asking this question whenever I give you food, don't you?” She answered my question with a question of her own.“Well yes, because I can't seem to understand why you would prepare something for me to eat, it still puzzles me”. I replied sincerely.“You haven't answered my question”. I told her when I noticed she had zoned out.“Ohh, it's because you're my husband and like I told you before, if I don't feed you, who else will?” She answered me.I felt something stir in me immediately she made that statement. But I quickly composed myself.She opened the tray and told me to eat, I sat up on the bed and began eating. I was surprised at the way I obeyed her.“You're going to stand there and watch me eat?” I asked her, with my head cocked to the side when I looked up from the food and found her still staring at me.“I don't mind”. She replied. I knew she didn't want me to send her out of my room again like I did yesterday.I looked at her for a few
THE INTRODUCTION Winnie. All eyes were on me immediately I entered the bakery. One of the staff came to approach me and said…“How may we help you ma'am?” She asked in a polite manner, smiling.“I'd like to speak to your head or your boss”. I replied, giving her a smile of my own.“I hope there's no problem ma”. She said again, a little bit scared.“No, not at all, I just want to speak to him or her”. I smiled at her, reassuring her.“Alright, I'll go get her. But I must warn you ma'am, she's the rude type”. And with that, she left.I smiled at Mrs Catherine as we waited for her to come.“Who are you and why are you looking for me?” We heard a lady who seemed to be in her early 20’s ask. She had short black hair that stopped just above her shoulders. Her eyes were sky blue in color and she had small lips.She was of average height, I was clearly taller than her.“I'm pretty sure I asked you a question and you're just staring at me like you didn't hear me”. She said again, raising h
AMELIA. Unknown person's povI kept on watching her from a distance making sure she couldn't spot me. She knew she was being watched but she didn't know who it was that was watching her.I saw the way she handled the staff. I have to say, I didn't know she had it in her. I want to know what's special about this nobody that made Ares get married to her, that too on very short notice.I was enjoying watching her look over her shoulders from time to time, trying to find out who was watching her.I reveled in her uneasiness. She was about to go back to where she was coming from so I decided to approach her.“So you're the Winnifred”. I said, with disdain in my voice as I approached her.Winnie. I turned back to see who it was and saw it was the person I thought I saw before.“So I wasn't seeing things”. I muttered to myself.“And you are?” I asked her, giving her a degrading look of my own.“I'm Amelia, Ares's girlfriend”. She replied with a proud look on her face as she stretched her
DILEMMA.Ares. “If you move one step closer to me, you'll regret it. And that's my wife you're calling a nobody”. I said in a thunderous voice as anger surged through my whole body.I took out my phone and pressed some buttons then two hefty bodyguards came into the mansion.“You called for us sir”. One of them said as they entered.“Yes I did, throw this thing out of here and make sure she never sets foot in my premises ever again. Before that, take her to the basement and teach her a very good lesson”. I ordered them as I pointed towards Amelia.Before they could bundle her out, Winnie went to her and slapped her hard across the face.“Next time, don't lay claims on my man”. She said to Amelia as she hissed and went upstairs.I was really surprised and proud of her at the same time.My bodyguards threw her out of my mansion amidst her swearing and cursing.“You'll regret this Ares!! You'll all regret this, I promise you!!!!!” She kept on saying till she wasn't within earshot.Winni
THE TALK. Ares. When I couldn't take it anymore, I decided to go to Winnifred's room and explain things to her.I got to the door of her room and was about to knock when I decided against it and just opened the door and let myself in.I loved the sight that welcomed me for some reason.Winnie was sound asleep with the cook by her side. They both looked like the perfect mother and daughter duo.I saw dried tears on her cheek and I knew she had been crying.It didn't take me long to realize it was because of what that bitch, Amelia had said to her earlier.I stayed in her room for a few minutes as I watched her sleep.Have I mentioned how beautiful and calm she looks when she's asleep?After some time, I decided to leave so that none of them would wake up suddenly and catch me staring at them in their sleep.That'll be creepy.I went back to my room. At least I tried talking to her but she was fast asleep already and I couldn't possibly wake her up.I had my bath and went to bed but s
PERFECT TIMING. Winnie. I discovered Ares and I were now really close to each other on the couch. I don't know when it happened but our fingers were touching and it sent sparks throughout my body.He started leaning in closer and our lips were about touching each other when my door suddenly opened and Mrs Catherine came inside the room.Perfect timing, I said sarcastically to myself.“I'm sorry if I interrupted anything, I wasn't expecting to see you here sir. I'll just take my leave”. She said as she left the room.“Your gist partner is here so I better take my leave so I can leave you guys to do what you do best”. Ares said as he stood up and headed for the door.“Thank you”. I said, stopping him in his tracks.“For what exactly?” He asked as he turned to face me.“For explaining things to me, it was really thoughtful of you and I really appreciate it”. I answered him as I started playing with my fingers, not looking at his face.He didn't say a word as he left my room.Ares. The
TROUBLE LOOMS?Ares.“Thank you”. I heard her say, stopping me in my tracks.“For what exactly?” I asked, as I turned around to face her.“For explaining things to me, it was really thoughtful of you and I really appreciate it”. She answered as she started playing with her fingers, not looking at my face.I didn't say a word as I left her room.This wife of mine.I got to my room and sat on the couch. I felt kind of relieved? I couldn't explain why.Was I happy because I explained how my relationship with Amelia was?Why did I even have to explain that? I shouldn't care less what she thinks.Come to think of it, if that cook hadn't interrupted, don't tell me I was about kissing her again. Oh Ares, what's happening to you? Winnie.After Ares left, I was happy and sad at the same time.I was happy because he actually came to explain things to me.At least I now know how his relationship with Amelia was. It wasn't what I was thinking at all.I'm really sure that Amelia lady wouldn't ex
