/Meelah’s POV/I took out majority of my clothes and accessories, from the closet leaving a few behind just incase Eden’s parents decide to release her to come back to the apartment anytime soon, even though I knew that it was very unlikely because one of the clause that her parents had when it was time for us to rent an apartment was that she had to have a roommate that they approve of, so since I won’t be available to live with her until I divorce Brian, I felt that it was just better for me to pack all the things that I need, then when I divorce Brian I can always move back fully into the apartment so that I won’t start spending unnecessarily just because I moved houses.After packing my things into my big box, I made my way to the kitchen to Round up all the snacks in the cabinet because I always made it a point of duty to stock up the kitchen cabinet where I used to keep snacks , so that I won’t starve to death on days that Eden was not available to cook, so I just felt that it
/Meelah’s POV/“Arrrrghhhhh” I groan as the sound of my phone ringing loudly disturbs my beauty sleep. I try to navigate my phone by stretching my hand out to navigate the top of my bed side drawer where I usually place my phone before sleeping without necessarily having to wake up fully so that the sleep doesn’t clear off my face, and I don’t find the phone, so I force myself to sit up to get a better view of the bedside drawer. as I try to seat up on the bed and rub the sleep crust off my face, I realize that my muscles are rigid from being kept on the ground through out the night, while the upper part of my body just rested on the bed and I slept off in that position. It takes a while for me to adjust myself, and after doing that I realize that I am far away from the bedside drawer, and I am actually in the middle of the bed so I pick up my phone to see who it is. “G mama?” I gasp as soon as I unlock my phone to Check the person that called because I missed the call already, on
/Meelah’s POV/I try to sleep, but the brightness of the room is interfering with my sanity, so I get up to turn off the light, but one thing I find very strange is that the room is not as dark as it is supposed to be. “Let’s see how many hours I have left” I mutter as I turn the light switch on as I look around the room to check the time well, then the digital wall pasted clock stares back at me with 10:49 boldly displaying on it. “You’ve got to be kidding me” I mutter as I go closer to pick up my phone to check what the real time is incase the wall clock above the headstand has stopped but nobody has had the time to fix it. “Holy shit!!”“What have I done?”“How could I have over slept?” I start to panic as I search frantically around the room for nothing particular, before it suddenly occurs to me. “Oh no……my alarm clock was not on the bed stand”“What am I going to do now?” I start to think of the way forward because it is way past the time that I am going to resume. “Am
/Brian’s POV/ I have been making conscious effort to annoy Meelah since we got to silver city so that I can frustrate her into filing for a divorce as soon as possible, which was why I made it compulsory for us to share the same room. I wanted her to get really uncomfortable and start to thirst for her own space because my mom raised me to be gentle man and I am not supposed to raise the issue of divorce, less than 72 hours after our marriage. so far, I can say that I did a really good job in making her know that I am someone who is unreliable by backing out of things at the very last minute because I don’t want her to start relying on me to be there do things for her, so that we won’t get too attached to that kind of life style and it will just be so difficult to say goodbye.I also didn’t want to use Meelah as a rebound, by pouring all my time and attention on her just because I am eager to get over my one sided feelings for Ember. if there is something that I have learnt over t
/Meelah’s POV/As soon as Mr Kings drops the call, I launch my WhatsApp to make a group call to my girls, only for me to realize that there are series of people that have been messaging me consistently on WhatsApp for hours now, it is just that I have configured all my apps in such a way that if I don’t launch the app, the background details of the app won’t automatically refresh over my mobile data. I am always way too busy with real life to be getting unnecessary notifications from apps so I turned off the icon so that those notifications won’t unnecessarily cloud my notification bar to threaten my peace of mind. Without stressing myself to check the messages individually, I send all my chats to archive, then I start removing the seven people that were so important in my life out of the archive folder because they are the only ones that I care about their opinions. After I remove the seven of them from archive, I send Ryker to archive because he doesn’t deserve to be on the list
/Meelah’s POV/“What’s next?” I sigh as I slump on the bed after my failed attempt of trying to convince my girls that I can figure everything out in my own so that they won’t have to suspend all their work to come over. After sighing and sighing in the same spot that I have been for a while, I get up to do something with my life. I go straight to the bathroom to pick up my brush so that I can brush and think of making myself useful in the house. “Geezzz!” I exclaim as my reflection in the mirror stares back at me. “If not because I took my bath yesterday,I would have looked twice as worse as this” I mutter as I run my hand through the frontal installation that was installed on Saturday morning, to complement the bridal dress because Elva’s team refused to listen to my plea for them to just style my hair, adding extensions if necessary but they insisted on using a 360 degree frontal, and now I nave to deal with it. I turn my side profile to get a better look of how scattered the
/Meelah’s POV/ “We may have quite a lot to do, but the thing is that we are all going to face it together by taking one step at a time” Aurora says, walking towards me“Now, we need to get rid of that thing on your head first” she says as she drags me to follow her. “I really want you to relax and be taken care off, but this is our first time in your house and we don’t know how you arranged your things, so what you have to do now is to take me to your box so that I can check through your hair care things for the things that I will need to pamper your head” Aurora informs and I nod with a smile as I lead the way to my room. “Can you guys wait for us?” Ari and Dianne calls out behind us, but I keep on moving knowing that it won’t be difficult for them to follow my lead. “Is your room on the ground floor” Ari inquires as we branch beside the black stair case where my room is located. “Don’t even get me started” I sigh as I continue to walk towards my room. “I thought the masters b
/Meelah’s POV/“You guys are making me so emotional” I say as I try to gather my emotions together. “Keep your emotions in check because we still have a long way to go….we are going to be here with you for long today, so take your seat and allow me to get your pampering started” Aurora says pulling me forward. “Bring me that stool over there” she says pointing to the stool in front of the vanity and Dee lifts the stool and starts to walk in Our direction “One more thing….I am going to need either a hair oil, body oil or glow oil, just give me any type of oil that you have so that I can take off your front and we can get this make over started” Aurora says and I hesitate a bit “Why are you scrunching up your face like a used tissue?” She inquires scanning me up and down with her eyes. “The thought of getting a makeover from you is quite scary because you may end up giving me a 360 degrees change in my appearance, and I don’t want that” I express my concern “It is not my fault tha
|Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did
|Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a
|BRIAN’s POV|“Can you stop being difficult and just tell me who the photographer nigga at the movie premier is?” I urge Meelah because her nonchalant attitude is seriously starting to piss me off.“No one important,” she answers, waving the issue like it is nothing important as she focuses on her breakfast.“Photographer nigga is no one important, but you and your sister were fighting over him?” I remark to get a reaction from Meelah, and judging from the way she pauses dramatically from reaching for the baked beans that are a part of the breakfast platter, I know that I must have struck a nerve.“Fighting over him?” she scoffs.“Are you for real right now?” she questions, looking at me dead in the eyes.“How was I minding my business and getting my pictures taken, only for me to get drenched by the torn in my flesh the same things as me fighting over a man?” she expresses painfully and that makes me realize that I must have gone too far.“Fine…. I apologize for my insensitive choice
|Meelah’s POV|I should have known that running into RK the previous night was not going to end well or should I say that I should not have unblocked that villain and tried to give him the benefit of doubt by thinking he must have had a valid reason for decamping to the enemies camp, but it was obvious from all indication that RK chose Jayden Conor and Skylar over me because of the money that they offered him, but the question that has been on my mind since yesterday was why RK Is still trying so hard to be in my good graces after everything that happened.To say that I was livid when Skylar tried to mess up my life once again by using RK was an understatement, and even though I had so many unanswered questions for Ryan, I was way too blinded by rage to hear him out, and now that everything ended up blowing out of proportion, I kinda wished that I was patient enough to hear him out so that I can at least get closure and move on with my life.I ended up avoiding Brain after we got home
|Brian’s POV|After trying to get Meelah familiar with the movie she didn’t look interested in the slightest, probably because this type of movie is not her kind of thing, she stepped out of the cinema to get some fresh air, but she went for a long time.Even though I want to keep enjoying my movie, I have no choice but to step out to check up on Meelah simply because I brought her here and I have to make sure that she has a wonderful experience, or else the aim of bringing her here will be defeated.I stand in front of the event hall, scanning around to see if my eyes can capture Meelah from afar to assure myself that she is fine so that I can return to the movie theater but I see her with a man who is busy taking pictures of her and from the looks of it, I don’t think this is the first time they are meeting because of how he is putting his hands on her to direct each pose he wanted her to strike when he could have just described it tor her or strike the pose instead of touching her
MEELAH’S POV|I wasn’t expecting that sly human being to take advantage of the situation by offering to help me if only I agreed to hear him out but I had to agree because I couldn’t let my girl’s efforts be in vain, and instead of sending the driver to get me a random ring, but Brian stepped down from the car himself to get me a ring which made me wonder what he is playing at.Anyway, Brian got me a pretty simple and elegant ring that doesn’t look as complicated as the previous ring and I love it because I think this ring sits my personality more, more so you will barely know that it is a counterfeit ring, so a win is a win for me.We are now at the event venue, and here is Brian stepping out of the car while I am waiting for him to open the door for me because even though I agreed to hear him out, he still has to make up for how miserable and rejected I felt during the week so that I can feel his sincerity.Big Daddy Brian has finally put the gentlemanly teachings he got from his wo
|Brian’s POV|After racking my brain, thinking of the best way to ask Meelah out to the movie premier, I decided to abandon the responsibility to the butler because I knew for a fact that I was the one whom Meelah had issues with, and she was not the kind of person that will take her anger out on an innocent butler by intentionally making his task difficult for him, and it worked because just when I was driving into kings estate yesterday, I saw Meelah’s driving out.I actually thought of driving out of the estate to block her wherever she was going to have a conversation with her, but for someone who made a conscious effort not to run into me even while we were living under the same roof, I knew better than to try, and thank goodness I decided against it because on getting home, I was informed by the butler that his part of the task was completed.I went about my after-work schedule normally, and while I finally settled down to eat dinner, I got a message from Elva that she had been
Everyone in this house except for me stayed up all night trying to help with the outfit and everything because my fashion enthusiast friend decided to make an outfit for me from scratch after she found out about the movie premier at the dying minute and she had got her team of designers here as early as 5 am to help with the process of making me an outfit despite my protest that it wasn’t necessary.Brian's sister also showed up with her team of makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail technicians, just to get me dolled up for the event, and I have been sitting here since I took my bath while they dress me up like a doll.“Your bestie wants to talk to you,” Aurora says, handing me her phone hours later after I sat to get my hair, nails, and makeup done without being allowed to check the mirror. “Are you not scared that I will see myself through the camera of the phone?” I question Aurora and that makes Elva block the camera from my view.“I still stand on the existing protocol that I w
\Meelah’s POV\After being made to feel stupid by Brian and like a total failure by my mother-in-law on Wednesday, I needed a way to vent, and the last thing I would have wanted in this life was to put a call through to my girls because I just like me, they had stuff going on in their lives, and it won’t make any sense for me to put everyone in a bad mood just because things were going sideways for me, so I went to mine and Brian’s bedroom to sleep but the more I laid on the bed, everything I could think about was how Brian kickstarted my day by overreacting to the perfume that was supposed to boost my confidence, so I ended up smashing the perfume bottle into the wall hoping it will make feel better but it barely did anything for me.I tried to snap out of the negative emotions that I was feeling so that I could be prepared for the next day’s work, but nothing seemed to be working so I resorted to something that I wouldn’t normally resort to just to escape my problems even if it was t
