CARTER'S POV

This woman here has a way of making serious situations seem funny. I really can't believe the reason she was sulking and being all grumpy is because of the girl at the ice cream stall.

I'm trying so hard to get her to understand that I was telling the girl off and not interested in her but she does not want to believe me. Even though I was losing it, I did my best to explain it as simple as possible but she kept being adamant.

The next moment she tried to pick a word of mine to argue on, I instinctively had to shut her up with a kiss which caught her off-guard.

I didn't remove my lips instead I kept it on hers. After what seemed like hours, she pushed me off and shot me a death glare that didn't last long before a blush crept up on her cheeks.

Embarrassed, she ran to the car. I stood there trying to analyse her expressions and I just had to laugh. I smirked and also walked to the car.

    AVINA'S POV Immediately I entered the bathroom, I placed my palms on my cheeks. They felt hot and I think they'd burn my palms with the heat I felt. Why would he point out the obvious? He's so silly. I turned on the shower and brushed my hair backwards. I didn't know Carter was already behind me until I felt his hands on my shoulders. I froze and didn't move. I felt shy and shocked because I never expected him to walk in on me. He stretched his hands sideways and picked up the sponge then pressed the soap on it. He then began to scrub my back gently and I felt butterflies in my tummy. My body tingled but I did well not to move. He turned me my body and I am now facing him. Then he smirked and I knew what he was up to but I couldn't do anything. I stood there with my bones numb and stared at his face. He started from my neck down to my bosom then to my navel bottom. His gaze never left mine as his hands trailed downward and he was about to spread my legs when my senses

    KATE'S POV My phone started ringing and I could tell who it was without checking. I picked it and told him I am in the office. I don't know why he calls every time irrespective of the fact that he knows I'd be at work. I need Vina to come back because this workload isn't for me. We're having the runway show when she's back but scouting for models has not been easy at all. I need to call her today after I'm done with Leonard. "Hy damsel" He smiled as he walked in with a bouquet "Hy. What's with the flowers?" I asked "Nothing. Just wanted to come with something this time since I'm always empty-handed." He winked I collected the flowers and thanked him. He sat down while I finished what I was doing on my laptop. After I finished, I closed my laptop and put it in my bag. "Why are you so tired?" He creased his brows "Well, we have a run show next week and I'm still trying to scout for models." I explained "Ohh, you can just hold on till she comes back.

    AVINA'S POV We only have two days left until the honeymoon ends. Carter said we'd do a lot today and I should be prepared. I was surprised when I saw us get into an aeroplane. When we got inside I realised what he signed up for. I was still unsure about what was happening but when they started wearing bodysuits for us that was when I knew. They finished gearing us and I pulled Carter closer looking at him intensely and shaking my head. "Don't tell me you're scared of skydiving?" He laughed "Is anyone meant to enjoy this?" I asked peeping out of the aeroplane I was so scared that I hugged Carter burying my face in his chest. He was laughing so hard that I was annoyed but I had no choice but to act normal. "Look here sweetie, you trust me right?" He stared at me I nodded my head vigorously signifying Yes. "Good girl. Now just make sure you hold my hands and don't let go." He instructed "I can't do this, Carter." I refused to let go "Trust m

    CARTER'S POV Is this lady serious right now? Her expressions are so hilarious. She asked me to show her my other skills and I'm about to do that and now she looked shocked. "Don't be scared princess. I'd be gentle." I smirked I removed her hands from her bosom and made her rest her back against the wall. She looked like a prey about to be devoured by its predator and I couldn't help but smirk. I raised her face with the tip of my index finger and crashed my lips on hers. It took her a while but she eventually gave me access to her mouth. The kiss started as gentle and soft but soon became a fight over whose lips and tongue could dominate more. I ran my hands all over her body until they landed on her breasts. I squeezed them a little and her moan was caught in my mouth. She raised her hands and ran her fingers through my wet hair. My whole body rose from that little action. The way she caressed and moved her fingers swiftly and perfectly made it worse. I lif

    Carter's parents bought us a house in a very beautiful estate. I didn't know how the house was but when we got there I was astounded. It is a mansion, too big for newlyweds if I must say. We arrived home in the evening, tired. A chauffeur was already waiting for us as soon as we arrived. So he drove us home and helped with the luggage too. After he was done, he bowed and left. Now, it's just me and my beloved husband, I scoffed as the thought came to mind. "Should we eat out or order in?" He asked me as he sat on the couch "Let's just order in. It'd be stressful for you to drive again." I answered as I went upstairs Facing the stairs there was two rooms beside eachother and one room at the left and right side, situated at the end of the hall. I still haven't forgotten his words because they refused to leave my head. I pulled my luggage and walked to the right end of the hall. I breathed in and out then opened it. It was big and spacious but I knew the maste

    The ride home was silent. Even though Carter tried to break the silence, I only answered with one word or nod my head. He didn't want to probe me further so he stopped. We got home and the driver helped with the groceries inside. He did that alongside the driver. I waited till they dispatched the whole groceries inside and he came to sit down. Still not talking, I went to the kitchen to arrange the groceries in the fridge and some in the cupboard. It was afternoon so I decided to make Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken. I brought out the fresh lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese. It took me some minutes but eventually I finished. I served the food and went back to clean the kitchen. By the time I came out Carter was already seated at the dining and was tapping his feet impatiently. I stiffled a laugh then went to sit. I served his food and pushed the plate to him and then dished out mine. "This tastes heavenly." He winked at me. I ignored him and focused on

Immediately I got to the office, my workers did a little welcome party for me and presented me with some gifts which of course I appreciated.

After I was done, I smiled at the lady and thanked her, but my curiosity was already at its peak, so I decided to say what I've been thinking. "What about the lady who entered before? Who's she?" "Ohh, that's Avina. We both own the company, " the lady explained, but she noticed my confusion and expantiated "We both own the company, even though we majored in different courses and we're best friends, more like sisters." "Ohhhh." I nodded my head, taking in all she said "My name's Kate, and it's nice doing business with you. We'd deliver all the items when they're available." We shook hands, and I left the office As I was walked into the elevator, I kept thinking about well established she was even though her parents her rich.

    CARTER'S POV I was home till the afternoon. I had some work to complete before I met up with Leonard. He called me a few minutes after Vina left the house. "Yoo bro. I'm just stepping out of the house. I'll meet you there in 10." I dropped a voicemail for Leonard when his number wasn't connecting. I dropped the key with the gateman and drove out of the compound. The evening breeze was so cool that I wanted to drive around town but I thought of Leonard and pushed the thought away. I arrived at the lounge and Leonard hasn't arrived yet. So I sat in a corner and beckoned the waiter. I ordered a mojito, and it was brought almost immediately. I sipped my drink and got busy on my phone while waiting for Leonard. "What's up, man?" We fist bumped "Everything has been smooth. What about you?" I asked "Same here man. These past days have to be my best ones ever." Leonard smiled so wide that you'd know something different happened from the usual. He ordered his drinks

    ELENA'S POV These girls haven't let me rest for the past few days, all in the name of a meeting, and they've refused to tell me who we're meeting up with that's so important. I just got out of the bathroom, and I'm having a hard time picking out the clothes I'd wear. I needed to call those girls so they'd come to my rescue. "Hey, sis. Good morning." Avina grunted as she tried to sit up"Don't tell me you're still in bed. Let me add Kate to the call." I half yelled "Hy sis." Kate sounded worse than Avina"Are you girls serious right now? It's 10, and you both are still not ready for the so-called meeting you didn't let me rest about." This time I was pissed "Wait, hold up. What's today?" Kate's eyes widened"Wednesday, sleepyheads. Wednesday!!!" They didn't even allow me to say the reason why I called them, and they hung up at the same time. "Arrrrrrgh!!! Now it's all up to me."

    AVINA'S POV I left Kate's house very early, so I'd be home when Carter arrives. He texted me later in the night after Kate had gone to bed that he'd be back the next day. I was so happy and couldn't wait for the dawn to break. "I'd miss having you around." Kate pouted as she hugged me"We're seeing tomorrow, so stop being a crybaby." I pecked her and entered the car. I already texted our driver, so he was here to pick me up. We made a stop at the salon. I wanted to look so good for him and let him see the beauty he got married to. Then I went to shop for clothes and lingerie too. It's not like I don't have lingerie. I have a lot of them, but it won't be bad to get a new sexy set just to entice my husband. After that, I got groceries and foodstuffs because I'd be cooking for him. His flight is set to land around evening, so I left early, so I'd be able to prepare and be all set for him when he arrives. I thanked the driver as I alighted from the car. He assisted me in carr

    LEONARD'S POV I just concluded a meeting with the board of directors. They had so many unnecessary concerns about the company and whatever was happening in the outside world. I don't know why old people never seem to mind their business and face it rather than bother themselves about it. I've also been trying to talk with investors because I'm trying to make our new lipstick brand expand into the international market. It's been doing well all over the USA, so I want to push it into the international market. It hasn't been easy but it was successful eventually. As I stepped out of my company, I dialled her number. I bet she'd be mad at me right now, but she would understand. It rang twice before she picked it up. "How can I help you?" That was her way of greeting. I'd take that because she has all the right to be angry. I was pleading the week before, and I've already repeated the same thing. "Hey, hey, your anger is justified, but that's no way to greet someone yo

    ELENA'S POV I've been busy with shoots for the past month in Dublin. I haven't been home in a while, and it feels nice to be returning. I already told my dad to send a driver to the airport. As soon as I landed and went to collect my luggage, I sighted him standing there. "Good morning, Mr. Patrick." I greeted the old man, who has been working with our family for the past 20 years. "How was your flight ma'am?" He asked as he collected my luggage and took it to the car "It wasn't bad. It just feels nice to be back home." I told him. He opened the car door for me and I got in. I took off my glasses and closed my eyes for a quick nap before we got home. "We've arrived ma'am." Mr Patrick announced a few minutes later"Thank you so much. I'd ask the maids to get my luggage for me." I smiled at him as I took my bag and entered "There she is. My princess." My dad was beaming with smiles as he sighted me "I've missed you so much, Dad."

    CARTER'S POV This week has been incredibly hectic for my wife, and I can see the toll it’s taking on her. She’s barely home for more than 30 minutes, just enough time to change clothes or quickly prepare meals for me to heat up later. As the week wraps up, I’ve decided to take action and surprise her at work. She needs to know how much she means to me, and that I’ll always stand by her side, supporting her in everything she does. I got dressed for work with purpose and grabbed my suitcase. The driver had just finished washing the car when I got downstairs, and we exchanged brief greetings. I climbed in, already smiling as the excitement bubbled up inside me at the thought of the surprise I had planned. When I arrived at the office, I was eager to share my idea with Clinton, my secretary. I would have reached out to Leonard, but his schedule has been packed lately, leaving us no opportunity to meet. “Good morning, sir!” Clinton greeted me with energy. “Morning, Clinton! It’s a be

    AVINA'S POV After settling with Carter, I felt liberated in a way. Letting go of the resentment that had slowly built up in my chest is one of the good things I've ever done for myself. Thank God for blessing me with my sisters. What would I have done without them? I got up this morning, feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. I went into the bathroom, humming one of my favourite songs, 2002 by Anne Marie, smiling and grinning. I got out of the bathroom and dried my hair, then picked out my outfit for the day. While I was dressing up, Carter walked in with a tray of food and juice, smiling. "Good morning, baby." He walked up to me and kissed me"Hope you slept well?" I wiped off the makeup that had smeared the tip of his nose "With you by my side, I slept soundly." He winked "What's that?" I asked him "Breakfast. I didn't want to stress you, so I woke up early to make it." "Thanks, sweetheart. That's so thoughtful of you." I kissed him again "Anything

    KATE'S POV It was a weekend, and I was neck-deep in chores. My bedroom was a disaster—a mess of clothes strewn about, new outfits still in their shopping bags tossed on the floor, and a general clutter that made me question how I’d let it get this bad. I usually pick an outfit in a rush each morning, tossing aside the rest of my clothes without a second thought. This weekend was my chance to regain control, so I’d committed to sorting it all out.I was pulling clothes from the washing machine when the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone, and I felt a twinge of irritation at the interruption, whoever it was. After setting down the last load of wet clothes, I wiped my hands and made my way to the door, bracing myself for whatever surprise awaited. As I peeked through the peephole, my heart lurched. Standing there, of all people, was Leonard.What was he doing here? And how did he even know where I lived? My mind flooded with questions I didn’t have answers to, but he rang the bell

    CARTER'S POV It's been a week now since Avina has spoken to me. The tip Nia gave didn't do anything. Instead, it worsened the whole situation. I tried speaking to her in the morning before she left for work and she replied, even though the answers were short and precise. But I was happy she was even saying something to me. She set the dining and we sat down to eat. I kept stealing glances at her as we were eating, and eventually, she noticed. "Say whatever it is you want to say." "I've been wondering and I just can't pinpoint what it is I did to make you give me this attitude. I know you recognise me; you're only doing this to torture me for an offence I know nothing about." I didn't hesitate in spilling out my mind. "You really don't know what you did. Even till now??" She asked without lifting her face "If I did, I wouldn't be bothering you this much." I was starting to get pissed but I kept my cool "If you don't know what you did even after ignoring you for 4 d
