/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
/Meelah’s POV/“Shall we?” Brian inquires after responding a few minutes later after telling me that he was going to pick up his car key.“What exactly are you trying to prove?” I confront him because I still find it hard to wrap my head around why exactly he is switching like a disco light. “I don’t understand what you are trying to say ” he feigns ignorance. “One minute, you were being so bossy and now you are being nice….” I spell his undulating mood switch out for him. “I do t know what you are talking about ” he pretends to be clueless as he walks towards the door. “Where do you think you are going” I ask him as soon as I notice that he is really going out of the house. “I am going to wait for you in the car till you are ready” he answers flatly while I gasp in shock, completely taken aback by his behavior. “I told you already that I don’t want you to go with me” I go after him to see if I can annoy him into changing his mind and he actually stops in his tracks. “Point of
/Meelah’s POV/Brian and I both made our way out of the new apartment, and when we got to the front of the door I stepped aside for him to lead the way because I didn’t enjoy the way I kept on feeling uneasy at the thought of him walking behind me. Without wasting too much time, he took the lead and led me to the black sport car that has Porsche on the hood of the car and we were on our way to the gate of kings estate. Surprisingly, when we got to the gate of kings corporation, the security told us to roll down our glass which is something very unusual because the only interaction that the security has with any car going in and out of the estate is to assign tallies to cars so that they can track the cars going in and out of the estate, but for them to ask us to stop and Brian obediently obliged, it could only mean that he informed them in advance to specially screen cars coming in and out of Kings estate so that I will be trapped inside just for disobeying his terms and conditions
/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
