MY HOUSE MY RULES.Ares.I came back home and met Mrs Catherine and Winnifred talking and laughing as usual.I didn't bother greeting them as I just went upstairs to my room, they didn't seem to notice my presence afterall.I freshened up and went to my study to complete some unfinished work.When I was done, I went downstairs and they were still laughing and gisting.I wonder what they talk about that always makes them laugh like this.I cleared my throat to announce my presence and they turned towards my direction.That wife of mine was looking at me like she just saw a ghost. She'd look at me, then, at the door then, at me again. She continued the back and forth movement with her eyes while her mouth was open in shock.Mrs Catherine just looked at me like she wasn't surprised and just shrugged off her shoulders.“You can close your mouth now. And yes, I came in through that door while you guys were talking and laughing away”. I answered her obvious question.“How come we didn't hea
BONDING.Ares.I was about going to bed when I heard a knock on the door and Winnifred entered my room.She was wearing that nightwear of hers again that made her look very sexy.I wonder if she did it on purpose. What could she want this time around? It's not raining this night.“And to what do I owe this visit?” I asked her as she entered my room, standing close to my bed.“Uhmmm Mrs Catherine left early to attend to something and I don't have anyone to talk to so I decided to come and talk to my husband”. She replied, pouting her lips in that baby like manner.“And what makes you think I won't send you out of my room?” I asked her.“I'm hoping you don't, please don't send me out”. She pleaded with that look still on her face.Fuck, I couldn't refuse those eyes. What is this woman doing to me. It's just one night Ares, what's the worst that could happen?“Alright fine,so what do you want to talk to your husband about?”. I asked her, getting up from the bed and going to the couch, mo
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
