After our honeymoon, I moved back to Greg's house. I must say, I have never seen a house this big in my life, with so many rooms. This is more like a king's mansion. Greg directed me to my room, which was just two rooms away from his own. Since the incident that happened on the first day of our honeymoon, I gave him his boundaries. My mother told me to always respect my husband and do whatever he asks me to do. She made me understand the impact he made in our family and how things changed for us. I witnessed how we barely had food to eat and how Nana, like I always call his grandmother, changed our lives. I was able to attend high school all thanks to Nana and her support. She made sure my family and I never lacked anything. When my parents called me to tell me about the marriage plans, I wasn't okay with the idea, but Nana said it's going to be good for me and my parents consented to it, so I agreed immediately.
When I first saw Greg on our wedding day, I first looked at myself to know what was going on? It felt like a dream because he was so tall and handsome. With a well-built body, black hair, and brown eyes. His face looks angelic, with strong cheekbones. I blushed when our eyes met and looked away immediately. He's nothing compared to Daniel, my crush in high school. Dan is fine, but Greg is very beautiful and more mature. The way he carries himself, the way he walks, the aura around him, and I could see he's well-respected. He was gentle all through the wedding and nice to my parents, until the next morning when he told me to start calling him sir and the rules he set. I agreed to everything he said, besides, he's the man, the head of the house, and we're not even mates. My parents really emphasized respecting my husband, and I'm going to do just that.Throughout our honeymoon, the only time I saw him was early in the morning on days when I wake up early before he leaves for God knows where he's going. And he comes back late at night. I don't sleep until he comes back, that's what my mom told me, and I've seen her wait for my dad on several occasions like that. Anytime he comes back, I only greet him "welcome sir" and go to sleep since I slept on the sofa. He just nods and goes into the bedroom. That was how we did our one-week honeymoon before coming back to Annex city.Greg personally showed me my room and also helped with my luggage. I was surprised at first and accepted his help. After settling inside, he called me out a few minutes later to introduce me to his workers at home. I must say, he has all the money because why does he have cooks, cleaners, security, a driver, and gardeners when he's the only one staying in the house. I was warmly welcomed by everyone, and what shocked me the most, he didn't introduce me as his wife. "Everyone, meet Sophie, a family member. She's going to be staying here now" Wait, that's all? A family member? I thoughtI looked at him surprised, and he gave me a cold look. I quickly returned my gaze back to the workers and smiled. They all left to their various posts after the introduction and left. We were the only one left in the sitting room, I looked at him, he gave me a questioning gaze indicating what I was doing there. I left my room and saw one of the cleaners arrange my room. I tried to assist her in cleaning the room but she refused. I insisted on arranging my clothes myself, which she agreed to. After the cleaning, I showered and changed into more comfortable clothes. I wore a big long cotton trouser with a round-neck top. Packed my hair into a ponytail and went outside to look at the garden.On entering the sitting room, I heard the sound of a car and a lady coming down from the car. She entered the sitting room and I could see some of the workers running down to welcome her, calling her "madam.""Madam?" I don't understand, she's young and almost of the same age as Greg, why are they calling her madam? I thought to myself.Before I knew what was happening, she ran towards Greg, sat on his lap, and hugged him. She loosened her arms around him and kissed him, telling him how much she missed him. I stood dumbfounded, I couldn't say anything; I was looking at what was happening before me. She suddenly looked at me as she was now comfortably sitting on his lap with her head on one of his arms. "Hi, who are you?" "I'm Sophie," I answered. "I don't care about your name, who are you? And why are you here?" she said impatiently. Before I could say anything, Greg replied, "She's a family member." What? Family members again? I saidHe gave me a cold look, I just greeted her smiling and walked out of the sitting room.Outside, I told one of the workers to show me around, which he did. I enjoyed every view and angle of the garden. I saw beautiful flowers from lilies to roses and so many others. What excited me most was a spot with beautiful scenery where you can rest in the garden. I went there, sat down on the grass, and brought out my phone to read some materials since I'm preparing for my entrance exam into the university. Going to university was one thing my parents asked of Nana before marrying Greg. Nana agreed to it and I know Greg is very much aware. I didn't pick Annex university because I needed to be free and enjoy university life. So, I opted for Bellaris University outside Annex city so I could stay in the dormitory and leave on my own for a while before going back to my married life I wasn't prepared for.Time passed and the atmosphere changed. I went back inside; I didn't see both of them in the sitting room. As I climbed the stairs heading to my room, I heard a female's laughter coming from Greg's room. It seems they're still around. I passed his room and went straight to my room. I didn't know what was happening to me, but I knew I wasn't feeling okay. I hated the sound of her laugh. I just plugged in my earplugs and started listening to songs. I was in my own world, I couldn't hear anything aside from the song I was listening to.I didn't know one of the workers had been knocking for a while. I noticed my song stopped playing and realized someone was calling my phone. It was an unknown number, but I picked up, and the next thing I heard was a cold voice that said, "Come downstairs." I was confused at first before I realized it was Greg's voice. How did he get my number? I don't remember we've ever exchanged numbers these past weeks. I quickly saved his number with "sir" and went downstairs.My cook informed me about our dinner. I went downstairs with Rose but I didn't see Sophie anywhere. We waited for minutes and I told one of my workers to call her but she came back telling me she isn't answering. I brought out my phone and called her number I collected from Nana before our wedding. She picked up immediately the phone rang and I just told her to come downstairs. Few minutes later she came downstairs wearing….. How did I miss it? What was I thinking about agreeing to marry her? I thoughtRose suddenly burst out laughing on seeing what Sophie and what she was wearing. I was embarrassed and angry, she's going to bring a lot of shame to my name and my family's name, that I know for sure. Grandma should know about my taste before bringing this to me. I've dated a couple of celebrities which are not hidden to the public but….. what is so special about Sophie for her to insist on me marrying her? I was thinking about this when I suddenly heard Sophie's voice calling me sir
I couldn't sleep because of what happened earlier. I received a call from Trent, my high school friend, about some materials concerning our entrance exam. We both chose Bellaris University. The only mistake I made wasn't hanging up the call and opening the door immediately. I thought it was one of the workers before I heard his voice.My mother particularly warned me about making my husband angry, I just did that today. What should I do? I just have to be extra obedient and not pass my boundaries just like he wanted. The following morning, I went out of my bedroom after freshening up to eat breakfast. I met Greg full dressed and about going to work. Sheila, our cook, offered him breakfast, he said he was running late already. I greeted him but he didn't answer and left. Sheila served me my food and left. I ate quietly. I've been eating well since I came here and I've been enjoying every bit of the meals. Sheila is actually a nice woman and she's been taking care of me, I don't know
I saw her walking down the stairs to have breakfast. Her face looked pale this morning. I didn't see her when I came back from work yesterday. I just went to sleep because I was tired. She greeted me but I didn't reply. I was almost done eating when she suddenly stood up and vomited outside. What is going on? Wait, is she pregnant?She looked So pale and the only conclusion I could arrive at was she was pregnant judging how she blushed when Rose asked about her crush. Kids are not to be trusted these days. There is no way I'm fathering a bastard! This was their plan all along? Without thinking I walked up to her and asked her to get into the car, to my surprise, she ignored me and tried to leave. The second time I raised my voice, she yielded. I could see my workers looking at the drama happening and Sheila was trying to stop me, so I threatened to fire her. She's making me lose my cool in front of my staff. This is the first time I'm showing this side to them.The thoughts of anothe
At work, I took my private elevator to my office. On entering the office, I met Rose seated in my office. She hugged me and tried to kiss me which I refused. I wasn't in the mood for that and this has to stop. "You have to stop coming to my house and work" I told her" Why? You don't like me anymore?" She said" I never liked you in the first place,it was just a one time thing and you know it has been over for a long time" " Wow, so you don't want me anymore? After what we've been through? After all the promises?""I only said I was going to protect you and help you, I was straightforward about not wanting a relationship with you"" But we slept together, what would you say about that? Your plan was to take advantage of me all along?"" Yeah we slept together but nothing really happened. I didn't take advantage of you, you willingly gave in and I never had sex with you, we only smooched for a while and that was it. You even initiated everything despite Knowing I was intoxicated yet,
'Older men with attitude problems are not my type either.' I replied angrilyBefore I knew what was happening, he slapped me and said, 'Don't ever talk back to me,' and walked out. I held my right cheek in pain and silently went back to my room crying. I was relieved that no one was around to witness what had just happened. I still felt slight pains from the cramps, the one in my heart, and the burning sensation on my cheek from the slap. Thinking about what happened in the morning, the tears couldn't stop flowing. I had given him his boundaries, but disrespecting me that way made me really angry. Accusing me of carrying a bastard and what he told Dr. Ben earlier made me furious. I'm not a robot; as humans, we all have our limits. Dragging my parents into this made me lose control and talk back to him. The words had left my mouth before I knew I shouldn't have said that. I cried myself back to sleep because the pain was too much.The following morning, I woke up with pains all over m
It has been three weeks since I last saw her, and I don't plan on going home anytime soon. I still have regrets over my last action, and the image of my handprint on her face that morning is still in my head. I realized I had gone too far by slapping her. I couldn't bring myself to face her after what I did."Old men with attitude problems are not her type?" Anytime I remember this statement, it makes me more angry. She didn't just call me an old man, but I wasn't her type? The more I think about it, the more it makes me laugh. That smallie has a spec?These past weeks have been from one work to another. I have been sleeping at my house located at the outskirts of the town. It is a small house I bought a few years back to rest. It's where I hide whenever I need my space.I have been going out for drinks with my friends lately. Today again, I went to Brad's bar for drinks. Ben joined in after work today. We were in our usual VIP room when Brad suggested bringing in some girls to spice
I told her I was going to sleep in the sitting room, but she refused and said she couldn't sleep in her room alone. I agreed to sleep on the floor while she sleeps on the bed. She said okay. I was surprised at how she readily agreed to that. That was when I knew she didn't have any plans and that I was safe. We both didn't sleep early and talked about funny moments we've both had these past few years. We talked for minutes before I slept off. I slept peacefully, knowing nothing would happen, but it was a lie. I never knew it was a trap.Sophie's POVI've been trying to sleep, but I couldn't. I've been having thoughts on how I was going to tell Greg about traveling next week. I wasn't worried about that alone; I was worried about how he was doing. I haven't stopped sending texts to him. I've been apologizing over what I said and how it wouldn't happen again. He has been reading them but hasn't replied. I was really happy that he was reading them. At least he knows I'm really sorry, and
I've had a hard problem sleeping since the incident that happened a few years ago. I've received treatment over the years , though it has improved over the years, but I still find it hard to sleep sometimes especially when I am in another person's house.Sleep was gradually coming when I felt someone on top of me. The person drew close to my face and kissed my forehead, from my forehead down to my nose, before I could react, the person started kissing my lips. I knew it was Rose, I tried to push her away, but the effect of the wine I had earlier was still in my blood. Before I knew what was happening, I started responding. I took over from her and returned the kiss. I changed my position to be on top of her while still kissing her passionately. I could feel my lower body pressed against hers and I could hear her soft moans in the quiet room. She suddenly removed her nightie and her upper body was naked and short was left …… I lost the last bit of self control left in me and pull
