Mabel's POVNext morning at 8:00am .....Saturday morning...."My mom is coming over for dinner tomorrow's night , you have to prepare something nice""And please try not to give off a peasant's aura, " Dwayne said and walked out of the house.I turned from the dinning table to look at his departing figure.I turned back to my food and scoffed.He sure knows how to say nonsense things, I actually don't blame him though.Immediately I was done eating, I exhaled and packed up my plates.I'm supposed to go see Layla today , but after our fight yesterday I think we both need space.Space to figure out what we really mean to each other and get all our feelings together.I heard my phone buzz in my pocket and I brought it out.It was an unknown number, at first I hesitated but then I decided to pick it up."You need to dress up and go to your restaurant immediately, " the voice said immediately. I accepted the call.Oh!, Dwayne. Immediately he said that he ended the call. Not even sure if
Mabel's POV2:00pm ...Immediately I was done deciding the menu we're going to be offering and getting my thoughts together, I closed my laptop, placed it in my bag and walked out."Wow, Good job guys !" I gushed as soon as I got downstairs.It was like I wasn't here earlier. They were quite plentiful but still I'm pleased by their hard work."Thank you ma'am" they replied with a confused smile on their face.Don't they get accolades for jobs well done?!, Well , if they're working with me they should get used to it.Being rich doesn't mean being a jerk!."So what's left?!" I asked the supervisor walking up to him."Done with this place now , just some finishing touches here and there with the furniture""The kitchen is already set ""Every other place is set , except the rooftop"."Once we're done here , we'll move there!" He explained."Today?!" "Yes ma , today" he replied."No, once you're done with this general dining hall and you take care of the executive dining hall, ""You guy
Mabel's POV"Hey baby," she called gleefully, walking up to Dwayne.oh!! kay!!.I slammed the door shut and stood at the entrance watching the both of them.Immediately she got to him she pulled him into a hug."Why did you come here?" he asked immediately."I've missed you ofcourse""Immediately I got back into town I visited you first""You should have gone home," he replied immediately.Who is this and what's she to him?!, I just stood there watching both of them ."Aren't you happy to see me?" she questioned caressing his cheeks."Stop it Diane" he growled and she dropped her hands immediately.Diane oh!."I'm pretty sure Mom made you come here " he said to her."She must have told you, I'm married already ""You can't just come in here and touch me inappropriately!" He said,She moved back and looked around ,"But I don't see any woman anywhere," she said, eyeing me disdainfully."What ?!" I whispered, blinking with a scoff.What is she trying to insinuate? Red with anger I began
Mabel's POVNext morning...Sunday Morning 8:00pm ...."You have to tell me where you're going!" Dwayne said as I walked towards the entrance."Somewhere" I replied and walked out , slamming the door.I feel like I've been exchanging too many words with him, hence the disrespect. As from today I won't give him that opportunity to disrespect me anymore.I got into my car and drove off to the hospital.****"Hi," I Said into Layla's room."Hi" she replied "The doctor said you're good to go" I said to her."Let me just pack your things" I said as I walked away but she held me back."I already packed them," she said."Oh okay are you ready to go then?" I asked."Mabel," she called softly."Yes," I answered, looking up at her."I'm sorry," she said."It's fine," I replied."No it's not, I really need to apologize to you ""I shouldn't have reacted the way I did""Like you said , I should have just placed your intentions over actions and see why you did that" "I just didn't want you hurti
Dwayne's POV I glanced at my wrist watch impatiently one more time as I looked up at the staircase.What's taking them so long, they've been there for hours.I heard slow footsteps and I looked up at the staircase."Introducing the latest Mrs Ford '' Rhoda said and immediately Mabel walked out.For a moment there I really couldn't see Mabel's face in this lady , but it disappeared as soon as it came .My mouth hanged open , never in my wildest imagination did I think I'll ever find her attractive. I stood up slowly and did my suit buttons.Staring deep into each other's eyes, I took slow steps towards the staircase.She was putting on a black pencil gown , it hung tightly to her body revealing too much of her perfect shape .Wait what?!, Did I just call her shape perfect?!.The gown was slit in front up to her thigh , I swallowed hard as I looked down at her fair legs .I looked up at her face and that was just the jaw breaker, she had just a nude makeup on with shimmering red lipsti
Mabel's POV"Or what!!" He snapped."What if you think she isn't right for me, what are you gonna do about that?!" He added ."We already talked about this , drop the Diane topic " "It's never gonna work""I don't like her , " his mother said, turning to me."I don't want her for you" she added."It's Diane or no one else," she said.Woah, my eyes widened as I stared between the both of them.What exactly is going on in this family? I looked around. I don't seem to see any traces of his father anywhere."Then you're in for a big disappointment" Dwayne growled in reply to what she said.I instinctively placed my hands on his thigh."She's your mother, " I whispered.He turned to me with a small frown ."Stay out of this , it's between me and her" he said."I already told you about her and I told you, it's not gonna work with Diane ""So why are you making a scene here?!""I had no agreement of any sort with you!!" She replied."Oh really now, when you asked to see her you were asking
Dwayne's POVNext morning Monday morning 5:30 am ....The vibration on my phone on the bedside table woke me up.I tossed lazily on my bed and turned to pick up the call."Lilian what is it?" I groaned immediately as I picked up the call."Boss !!" She called with panic in her voice , and I sat up immediately. Lilian never calls me like this ."We have a problem!" She whispered.****"So what exactly is going on?!" I asked the seven heads of department sitting with me in the conference room."Sir-r w-e, this m-morn-ing w-e" Jake the head of operation stuttered ."Just speak the hell up and stop stuttering " I thundered ."The upgrade didn't work boss, the new batch of skin care products that were released are burning skins" Lilian said and I stood up immediately."What the hell!!""Jake, what is the meaning of what I'm hearing?!" "I'm sorry boss , I mixed two ingredients that weren't supposed to be " he said with his heads bowed down."You mixed two ingredients that weren't supposed
Mabel's POVImmediately I got into my office , I settled down and brought out my laptop.I heard a ding on my phone and I brought it out."Oh my God" I whispered, covering my mouth with my palm.Dwayne's skincare company is trending , it's really crazy here on Twitter . Apparently his products are burning skins.Twitter can be so brutal really, I wonder how he must be feeling right now. He isn't worth it but I should check on him .I brought out my phone , searched for his number and sent him a message.-"I saw what happened on the news , I hope you're okay"-It indicated blue immediately but he didn't reply .Jerk!, I shouldn't have even messaged in the first place.My phone began to ring and it was Layla,"Trouble in paradise?!" She asked immediately I picked up the call."Apparently " I replied with a small sigh."I hope this isn't affecting people's behavior towards you""Because you're already known as his wife at home and abroad," she said."No, not really, " I replied."Have yo

Dwayne's POV Meanwhile .... "Is she here!!" I asked the guy I called earlier immediately I got into the airport. We've gone to about three airports today but she wasn't in any one of them , but thankfully the contact Neil gave us was able to contact his other colleagues in other airports to relay the message. I hope and prayed she's here because I've had too many stress for today. "She's in the waiting room, we delayed her there !" He replied. "Thank you so much" I whispered and we quickly dashed there. Immediately we got into the room , we looked around and there she was with a shawl over her head and a sun glasses on, she kept on looking anxiously around like she could not wait to get the hell out of that place. The cops with me quickly walked out to her , he tapped her and immediately she turned to face him he pointed a gun at her, and everyone there with her broke out into light gasps . "You're under arrest, anything you say or do now will be used against you in the court
