Rose Amber's POV
The sun's rays touched my eyes and I didn't feel it that much until the intensity increased, I quickly got up from my comfy bed and drew the curtains to cover the sun's hot touch on my tender skin. Traveling back home brought a lot of good and bad memories but sometimes, I did focus on the good only, my life had been filled with fun and trauma these past few years and it felt like a dream come true that I finally graduated from school with the best degree. I had become the nurse I always wanted to be, all that was remaining was for me to get a job in the federal hospital and kick-start my passion but too bad my long-awaited dream had been cut short. A few days after I graduated from the university, my father insisted that I return home for an important discussion.He told me with all his boldness to get married to his best friend who was older than me, the old man lost his wife six years ago and my dad never stopped talking about how depressed and broken his best friend was. The man was rich though but the thought of getting married to him freaked me out of my skin and I felt so lost on the right action to take, I gave my dad a dead man's look when he broke the news about my arranged marriage to the old billionaire. I heard a knock on my door as I glanced through the memories stuck in my brain like prisoners"you can come in!" I screamed and sat on my bed with no plans of leaving where I satmy mom walked in, her beautiful face freed from wrinkles and pimples, it did made me smile"Glad you are awake my darling princess, seeing your face alone is a blessing," she said in her tender voice"good morning Mom, stop it with the flattering already, I'm not in the mood" I replied"and who told you that I'm flattering you?, your mood seems odd though""I need a break!" I said and stood upI was about to head to the bathroom when she grabbed my hand"hey!, I understand you don't want to talk and I see that your face doesn't look like a lady who slept well, your mind is racing through a lot of thoughts. I'm a woman like you and I understand the things happening to you" she said"you don't understand mom, if you do, then you would have said something when Dad brought up his crazy idea, would you truly allow your only daughter to marry a man that's twice her age?. He's dad's age mate for crying out loud!" I screamed at her and yanked my hand out of her gripI was mad at both of them and I had been trying so hard to contain my anger in its hard shells"you know what?, I will arrange for a meeting with you Dad this evening and we will talk like one big family, you are my only child, and seeing you like this hurts me more than you know" she said and walked out of my roomI watched her close the door slowly before I fell and cried my eyes out, traveling back home felt like returning to my demons and pain. I ran away to study in Dubai because I didn't want to be within their reach but I completed my nursing course and I came back to my origin, the epicenter of my problems and depression. I had always dreamt of the day I will would married to my boyfriend back in Dubai, he was such a sweet young Arab man with the touch of an angel, his handsomeness was comparable to none. We talked about living together and having children of our own until my dad disgraced him in public and warned him to stay away from me like I was a horrible person in sheep's clothing.He lied to my boyfriend that I was married to a rich man in New York and all this happened a few days before my graduation ceremony. He broke up with me and blocked me even before I got the chance to explain the truth, he cursed me when I went to his house on a rainy day filled with thunderous lightning strikes and I cried on the bus back home as my heart wanted him for all eternity. I quickly took off my nightgown and walked in the shower, the cold water that touched my skin felt refreshing and I stood under it for some minutes until I shivered in the uneasy arms of cold temperature. I wrapped up my bathing session and took a nice T-shirt and Jean from my wardrobe and wore them immediately before I wore a pair of white sneakers to match.I went out of my room and took my father's Chevrolet Silverado and zoomed out of the house with it. The only way I could get off the pain and anger was to watch a movie and chill with some cold banana flavor ice cream by my side. Luckily, I was able to do everything that I planned and after spending five hours in the cinema, watching different movies back to back with a lot of ice cream and popcorn to ease my stress, I felt the urge to go back home. But before heading back, I drove around town and did some pleasure driving before taking my depressed soul back to its cage.I saw my dad's face immediately after I walked into the living room and he quickly stood up to hug me but I dodged him and went straight to the stairs, I turned around to see his reaction, and believe me, it was priceless, he kept staring at me with his mouth half opened."Rose, please freshen up and join us for dinner!" my mom called out to me"I will be down shortly but don't wait for me" I replied and left the both of them standing like scarecrows in the wildernessI banged my door hard after I entered my room and jumped on my bed for a quick nap, I felt a bit relaxed as I closed my eyes and sighed. Couldn't wait to hear what my mom had to say, left for me, I had the option to either run back to Dubai and become a sex worker since my father had made his choice to frustrate my life. At least I would have the perfect chance to write my destiny the way I always wanted.I woke up and joined my parents for dinner, they couldn't get their eyes off me for a second as we all ate together in total silence, the only sound I could hear was the one coming from my dad's mouth as he kept chewing his turkey thigh with extreme delight. My mom's food had been tasty from the beginning and there was no argument that she was a better chef than me, and after wrapping up our dinner, my dad made me and my mom sit together even when I disagreed."I know you hate me at this moment, I understand the pain you must be feeling right now and I must say that I have hurt you badly," my dad said in a deep voice I sighed and continued with my frantic glares at his face and white beard"you did more than that dad, you ruined my love life, you ridiculed the man that gave me his heart, and even lied. How do you expect me to forgive and forget that it ever happened?" I asked "I'm not asking you to forget, I'm setting a brighter path for you here, I don't want you to suffer and strug
The day of our marriage came earlier than I expected and as I walked to the altar with my dad holding my hand, I felt tensed up and as I turned to my left-hand side, I saw different eyes staring at me with smiles on their faces. The church was filled to the brim with a lot of people and Mr Decker standing at the altar with his broad smile made me feel sad because that wasn't the kind of life I wanted. I wanted a man who was rich like him but not old like him, my dad had been looking for an avenue to tap into the wealth of his friend without looking like a beggar, his career as a lawyer had fetched him a rich inlaw and a best friend too. The pastor prayed for the both of us and as we slid our rings, the uproar I heard from the congregation nearly threw me off balance, it was a joyous moment for my newly wedded husband and as he leaned forward to kiss me, I closed my eyes and permitted his soft touch on my cheeks.Tears rolled down my cheeks and it was just so fucked up in a way that pe
The fresh smell that crossed my nose immediately I woke up felt so divine and refreshing, the air freshener was the first thing I spotted after observing the whole room. My husband was still asleep so I took the opportunity to explore the house and see if anything was interesting enough to catch my attention. It was a four-bedroom mansion and my husband's room was the biggest, I was about to enter the kitchen when I bumped into a lady."I'm so sorry ma'am," she said and quickly picked up the apples that fell from her tray and took them back to the sink to rinse themI stared at her with surprise, I hadn't seen her before, guess she was the chef here "what are you going to prepare for me and my husband?" I asked "I don't know yet, you can make a choice and I will ensure that it's prepared in a few minutes" she said"just make me a coffee and toasted bread, I don't know what my husband eats in the morning, you have been here with him so figure out what he would like to eat" I replied
We spent a week in Montreal, exploring and doing a lot of romantic stuff together before finally heading to Toronto for his so-called reunion. On getting to his mansion in Toronto, I marveled at the interior designs in the house, indeed I hadn't seen any luxury like that and it amazed me how I nearly gave up an opportunity to swim in riches all because I thought getting married to an old man was wrong."Welcome to my humble abode my sweetheart, this is my second mansion, hope to show you more as time goes on," my husband said and led me straight to the gigantic living room with artistic paintings and alluring art sculptures "This is amazing" I whispered to myself and he somehow heard me"yeah, my children will be here by noon so go crazy and enjoy yourself" I took his Ferrari Roma, out of the expensive car collection in his garage for a joyride across different places in Montreal and I couldn't help but feel the beauty of being a rich man's wife. I went to one of his boutiques and on
"aren't you just beautiful in the sexiest way I have ever seen?" he asked and licked his lips seductively I didn't even pay attention to his flattering words, I gently covered myself with the duvet and closed my eyes but I felt a soft arousing touch on my thighs, he slowly rubbed them and took off the duvet that covered my naked self."don't do that, my dear wife, won't you give your husband some of that sweet breast to suckle on?" he asked "aren't you going to catch some sleep, I'm not in the mood for sex right now so maybe later" I replied and stretched myself on the bed "I'm more than ready to jump on this bed and sleep like a baby but seeing your breasts hanging out like that has woken the manly beast inside me" he saidI moved my eyes to his pants and found out that he had a strong erection, our eyes met and I sighed hard with my hand on my head. All I wanted was a good night's rest and this was what I got in return"Just allow me to penetrate you slowly and romantically, it wo
Weeks went by without me stepping out of the mansion, into the hot arms of the sun, I could barely move anywhere without my husband asking me to take at least one bodyguard by my side and we would drive to wherever I was going, I didn't walk under the sun and I felt so drained by this habit. I didn't know if it was just a sign of the deep roots of poverty in my blood or the fact that I wasn't fully used to this kind of life, after taking my bath, I quickly ate breakfast alone before my stepchildren and my husband woke up from their beautiful slumber, it was kind of awkward that the same people who are old enough to be my age mates suddenly turned to my stepchildren. Marriage is indeed a funny thing, I sipped in my orange juice and stared at the beautiful flowers in the garden, the way the breeze blew each of them from side to side. I was fully grabbed by their rhythm when my phone vibrated on the chair, I checked out the caller and saw my mom's name with the heart emoji I used in savi
Kingsley Decker's POVI woke up so early but my body felt weak and I could barely reason why I was so fragile, I stood up from my bed and went to the toilet to drop the waste product in my intestines. Life was going well here but it hasn't been easy for me, especially with the fact that my new stepmom was someone who may likely be my age mate, my phone rang as I glanced through my thoughts while seated on the toilet seat. I rushed to get my phone and by so doing, poop fell out my ass and landed on the floor, I didn't mind at all but damn, it smelled so bad. I answered my mom's call with so much disgust at what just happened, how on earth was I going to clean this mess up?, I thought to myself "Hello Mom" I called out to her"you didn't pick up the call on time, why is that so?" she asked with her harsh voice she didn't have a good voice and I felt sorry for her though, all the doctors she had visited told her that it would change with time after giving her some drugs to help hasten
We rounded off our activities at the dining table and I walked to my room to check some emails on my system when someone knocked on my door, I was reluctant to open it at first but I opened it anyway."Hey, how are you?" my stepmom asked I was surprised to see her, it wasn't long we had our breakfast so I expected her to be with my father."I'm good, you may come in" I suggested and gestured with my hand she walked in and sat on my bed, I felt so uncomfortable but managed to smile and breathe normally to avoid her getting suspicious"it must be quite stressful, managing your dad's gaming company. Can't imagine how you have to brainstorm ideas just to get more users and revenue" "It's never easy but I still strive to win no matter what, it's the least I can do since my father owns the company" I quickly scrolled through my emails before I turned off my laptop, placed it in my bag, and zipped it. My phone screen rang and on getting hold of the device, I saw my girlfriend's message, I
