Chapter 8It was a message from Fiona. I forgot all about what I had just heard and hurriedly typed back to ask what the problem was.“Kelan was at the coffee shop today and asked after you. I told him you were not around, and he demanded to know where you were. I refused to tell him, but he started causing a scene, saying I hid you somewhere..”I waited for her to continue what she was typing, but nothing else popped up for five minutes. I knew she wanted me to ask, typical of Fiona.I rolled my eyes like she could see me and typed back, “So what did you do with him?”“I had to tell him you were married and I don't know where you live. He didn't believe me but left anyway saying he would find you and kill the man who dared take you away from him.” Her response came almost immediately like she had been waiting to send that once I dropped a question.I sighed in frustration, the last thing I wanted was to cause harm to Earl. It didn't matter if he was annoying; I just couldn't let anyo

Chapter 7“What did you say?” I asked as I stared at her intently.She smiled and sat on the sofa, ignoring my question.“What did you say about Williams? What did you tell him and why were you even discussing with him?” I asked seriously.She smiled broadly, taunting me more. “You look so funny right now Earl, I thought nothing ever gets to you. It was just a discussion and I never said I told him anything”I shut my eyes to calm my nerves. I wouldn't want anyone to hear us argue, but her nonchalance was getting me worked up. I squinted and spoke between gritted teeth, “Don't joke with me, Venus. I married you for a reason and Williams is not someone I want to see you with because he is my biggest enemy in this company and very dangerous. If you get close to him, you will be greatly marred. You get that?”The smile on her face vanished and she nodded obediently, looking scared and different from the bold lady I had seen earlier. I wanted to walk to her, hold her and tell her I didn't

My mind went blank as I thought of what to say to him, I was scared he knew too much already, and I wasn't ready to toy with my family's safety.Despite my thumping heart, I smiled and said, “If you had so much time to go searching for my details, you should have enough time and resources to get the answers you crave without asking me, Mr Williams.”I watched as the smirk on his face disappeared and turned into anger, and then a devilish grin. “I see you are stubborn. Be ready for my wrath, Ms Venus”, he eyed and walked off.I sighed in relief as I watched his retreating figure before walking towards the restroom. It's just the first day of acting as Earl’s wife and I am already having enemies. Why do wealthy people have so many problems to deal with? I wondered.I stared at my reflection in the restroom mirror and reminded myself that I was doing it for my family and two years were just around the corner.********Earl POV*“Are you really married to her?” Father asked, staring into

“Your wife? How come I didn't know about it?”Father asked with a raised brow, breaking the silence. The last thing I wanted was to get scolded in the presence of everyone.“Father, I wouldn't have enjoyed these beautiful surprised faces from everyone if you had known about it, I simply wanted to surprise you all, especially those who thought I couldn't get married” I smiled, directing my gaze to Mr Williams.“Indeed” Mr Williams scoffed, getting everyone's attention.“We are not fooled by your antics Mr White Junior, where is the evidence? And this could be a contract between you two just to get past the requirements. If you got married the right way, we would have been informed and we would have attended your wedding, especially your family. But it's obvious this is a sham and we are not fooled.”A part of me wanted to punch him in the face, but I knew that would be confirming his negative words about me.I gave a wry smile and responded, “What makes you think I wanted a big wedding

I felt my throat go dry and I involuntarily swallowed the huge chunk of chicken I had in my mouth. I wasn't expecting such an arrangement, at least not so soon.I stared at him in shock, trying to process what he had just said.“What? Did I pay you to come sit in my house and eat all day?” He looked back at me and asked.“I-I-”He dropped his cutlery and raised his brow at me, but I was still gathering my thoughts.I grabbed a cup of water and gulped it down at a go to ease my racing heart while he went back to his food.“Ahem,” I cleared my throat. “Meeting people at your company tomorrow? We only just got married today, I don't even have the full details of why we are married, I don't know what to say when I meet them, I don't know how to act, and you just want me to meet with them?”“Yes, we only just got married today and I paid you today. It's only normal for you to start working for what you were paid for. Don't you think?” He smirked“But I-I don't know what to say. It's too su

My mind was occupied with uncertainty as Ben drove silently to the house. I had questions to ask, I badly wanted to know why someone as handsome and influential as Earl would choose to marry a commoner like me.I have done some research about him, and everything I read showed he was the heir to the DanSan Construction Company, one of the top companies in the United Kingdom.Even though he lived most of his life abroad, he was always in the news. More like someone was keeping tabs on his activities.There were pictures of him with different sophisticated women on the internet, in provocative positions. If he could get those types of women, why couldn't he marry someone in his class?I rubbed my temple and sighed as I stared out of the window. A message popped on my phone screen, and I smiled, seeing that Earl had indeed sent the first payment he promised. I was in it already and the only way to get answers to my questions was to ask him.Ben drove into a compound and my mouth fell open
