/Meelah’s POV/I wake up from my deep sleep to the sound of my phone buzzing loudly.Half-conscious, I get my hand out of the comfortable duvet as I started searching the bed side drawer frantically as my phone's persistent ringing delved into my brain.I didn’t want to open my eyes because I was scared that the sleep was going to clear off my face, so I silently hoped that the caller would stop calling as I knocked a few things over, trying to trace my phone.I found the phone and I took it closer to my face to see if the call was worth picking or not despite how blurry my vision is.“G Mama” I pronounce half asleep, almost swiping right on the caller ID to pick the call but on recapitulating who it is, my eyes widened in horror, and the sleep completely cleared off my face.“G mama?” I pronounced as I quickly dump my phone on the bed side as if it burnt me so that I won’t mistakenly pick her call. I sit up on the bed and watch the phone ring, unsure of what to do.I am in a dilemma
\Meelah’s POV\“Melanie Caleb!”“ How could you?” I mentally chastise myself.Staying in the same room with another man is bad enough, how could you forget to lock the door” I scold myself again as I look in the direction of the door and I realize that I still didn’t bolt the door.“You really need to look out for yourself more” I mumble as I walk towards the door to bolt it.After locking the door, I look around the room and I find my box carefully placed in one corner, so I take out the last outfit that Eden prepared to travel back to silver city in, which is an orange sweatpants and a white crop top which I was not going to be such a bad idea since I was going to be travelling back to silver city with my girls.Normally, I am not really the type to wear clothes that will expose too much skin, but according to Eden’s well laid plan, she was going to show up at the airport in crop top and sweatpants to piss her mother-in-law off, and she begged me to travel with mine so that we could
/Brian’s POV/After leaving the room that my own sister kicked me out of, I located the bridal chamber that Elva didn’t want to shut up about.when I got into the room, my things were arranged the same way I arranged them in my previous room, so it was easy for me to freshen up and change into something comfortable.After freshening up, the event of the Bride twist replayed in my mouth and all I could say was “dammmnn!!’’ Because I didn’t see it coming at all, and up on till this present moment, it still doesn’t feel real.While I was still trying to process and reprocess the events that happened during the day, I got a message from Elva that Meelah was in the room that I was kicked out of, insisting to see Eden.I didn’t find it strange that Meelah went over to see her best friend, but for some reason Elva didn’t want her to spend a few moment with the friend that she sacrificed so much for.I told Elva to just leave both Meelah and her Bestie to have their moment, but my sister told
/Brian’s POV/We have been at the airport for a while now, but for some reason my mom sent me over with the details of the four of us that are traveling back to silver city so that I can get the clearance done at once so that it can be fast.I told my mom that everyone had to go through their clearance themselves, but she refused and told me that it was possible so I had to choice but to walk over to the clearance desk to give it a try.I really didn’t want to leave MEelj with my mom because out of everyone in the kings family, my mom didn’t take the news very well neither did she hide how the bride switch made her feel.I know that meelah was left alone with my mom tge ireviiusvreason, and she managed to return to the room in one piece, but this time around I can’t help but feel weird about the situation.I wanted to take Meelah with me, but I realized that she was feeling kinda uncomfortable and I am guessing it is what she is wearing which is not likely to be the case because she p
/Meelah’s POV/Brian’s driver drives us both to the new house that Mr. Kings mentioned earlier in Orion, while I still stayed in the car without saying a word as I just watched the other buildings inside the Kings estate whiz past us as the car zoomed out if the parking lot.I wasn’t really quiet because I was still yet to recover from the impact of Mrs Kings harsh words on me but because throughout the Drive my mind was just calculating how best to avoid Brains mom without giving off the vibe that I was solely trying to avoid her because I don’t want to give her something new to capitalize on that I didn’t really notice that we were in front of the building already because of how lost I was in my own thoughts, till the driver held the door for me and asked me to step out of the car so that I can cross check the house with Brian to see if there is anything I will like to adjust.I knew that I wasn’t going to have anything to change concerning the house because I am not ready to start a
/Meelah’s POV/“If the butler mentioned earlier that he asked the kitchen to make variety of dishes so that Brian and I can select according to our preference, why is there no trace of someone cooking in the kitchen?” I stop to ask myself “Mrs Kings” Brian lets out in his deep voice that startles me with his hot breath fanning my neck and making me wonder how and when he got close to me.“I know that this house is mesmerizingly beautiful, but if you keep on drooling at the beautiful kitchen, when will we be able to check out the other features in the house?” Brian remarks proudly making me roll my eyes at him “What other features is available in the house apart from the room and toilet?” I ask the butler, completely ignoring Brian and his antics to make me feel belittled “We have the other sitting room and kitchen here the stewards are busy setting up as we speak, the cinema room, the masters bedroom, two other spare rooms that will serve as the quest room, with the Gym room” he an
/Meelah’s POV/I blink back in shock as I try to say something to Brian to stop him from leaving the room after he walked past me so that we can have a civil conversation, but I couldn’t get myself to say anything.“What the hell is wrong with him?” I question myself, while still frozen in the spot that he left me, appalled by the sudden change in his behavior because he hasn’t been rude me since the bride switch so why is he doing that now?“Is he suddenly regretting his decision to participate in the bride switch?”“Does he regret marrying me?” Series of questions flood my mind , followed by the appalled silence in the room as I try to process and reprocess everything that he just said to me.“Wait a minute….. I have as much claim to this house as Brian dies, so he is not supposed to be bossing me around like this over something as simple and self explanatory as us staying in separate rooms” I suddenly remember what brought about Brain and I staying in a new apartment.I dash out of
/Meelah’s POV/I get out of the elevator and make my way into the luxurious room, as I start to search the large room for any trace of my box because I left the car without the box, and because of how huge the house is, it is very possible that one of the stewards must have taken my things upstairs while the butler was giving Brian and I a tour of the apartment.The room is spacious enough for me to know that there is no trace of my box in it, but I still need to check the corners to be double sure that there is really no trace of my box in the room so that I don’t keep on feeling like I left any stone unturned while searching after I must have left the room but there is no trace of the box at all. I can’t leave the room empty handed because if Brain eventually finds the box in the room, it will look like I only hung around to while away time, then I came back to the dinning room with the excuse if not finding my box so that I could eat dinner.If that happens, my pride will be wound
