2023-02-20 23:41:00As they packed up the plates and told the cook to go home while they took over, Gina found it difficult to believe Henry had stayed at home for two days of his own accord, not necessarily because she forced him to. While it was true that he explained himself and confessed his real feelings for her, Gina still thought it odd that he liked her enough to leave his company in the hands of the vice chairman. He was quite a workaholic and it was something she wanted to get out of him, but that would require a lot more weeks of work and getting closer to him. She shrugged subtly and focused on cleaning their plates.
They would get to that later. For now, she was more focused on the words he said to her as they ate. Apparently, he was new to being serious with relationships and she realized the reason why he hadn't been treating her right was because of his character. It was something she noticed on her own way earlier but her annoyance at his theatrics and constant moo

As Gina woke from sleep the next morning, she turned to her side and looked at Henry who still seems to be asleep. Just like the last time, their conversation had ended in high notes and with both of them still feeling happy from the day they spent together, they ended up having sex and ending up in bed. She was quite relieved that there was no sorry note, but rather, he was asleep beside her. She tried to get up but soon realized that her body was pinned on the bed by Henry's arm. In response, he groaned slightly and rubbed his hand over her stomach for some seconds before abruptly stopping.He was still fast asleep and the thought warmed her. For a moment, she thought about getting up to do other things but ultimately sighed and fell back to the bed as he hit one of the many pillows propped up over the night. A smile came to her lips as she replayed yesterday's events in her head. It was really the first time they were so happy together, and openly expressing

After a few hours, she arrived at Henry's mother's house and was surprised to see that the things for the party were already being brought in. Her first though was that the woman had probably already made plans with the other members of the family, excluding her, and made her decisions. However, she was surprised and quite elated to see that the others were just arriving as well. That meant his mother probably already had some ideas of her own and just needed them to help her sort it out before making the final arrangements for the surprise. Before she got in, she looked again at the other guests and a frown suddenly came to her face. Aside from his aunt and uncle who were there and both gave her hugs before waking past, his two mean cousins had also come. She frowned and steeled herself to expect a word from them, but they just briefly smiled and threw her air kisses before leaving and moving inside as well. She sighed and left out a breath she had been holding, as she climbed up th

Henry woke up that day feeling as normal as usual. There was nothing particularly special or fancy about the day, and quickly, he made work of feeding up and telling the cook to get breakfast ready. He wanted to be as early to work as possible because of the serious meetings he had to attend. Ever since everyone had been officially made aware of his status as the new CEO, he had to consistently step up inj finding new ways to better develop the corporstion and ensuring that no one was going out of line.As he knotted his tie in the mirror in front of him, his thoughts flowed to Gina. As usual, they had been doing that more lately and a part of it scared him. With the way he always wanted to be around her, it was so obvious that he had fallen in Iove with her and it confused him. Regardless, he still planned on enjoying himself with her as much as he could. She was still his wife, contract or not, and as long as they didn't have any arguments or fights, it was fine by him. By the time,

The darkness that enveloped Henry immediately he entered his house was enough to tell him that whatever his family had organized would be way bigger than the one at work. He didn't even know what made him think that his father's death wouldn't allow his mother to throw the party, becusse every year, the parents of the celebrant had their special dance and from what his parents said, it was one of the highlights of their year. Debuting at their child's birthday party. It always surprised him how his parents could be so humble and simple, even with their vast wealth, but that was one of the reasons he loved them.When the lights were finally put on and he saw the people at the party, he instantly felt nauseous. It wasn't so much about her people, for which he could clearly see that Gina was a part of, but what nauseated him were the party decorations. The balloons, the confetti, and everything in between. It wasn't so big, compared to what he thought, but it was s

As Henry placed his lips on hers and put pressure for her to open up to it and return his advances, all she could think about was how hard it was for her to get him a suitable birthday gift. She remembered spending the whole evening of the previous day and the morning of his birthday looking for what to get him. Her husband was a man who already had everything, so she didn't want to end up giving him something he wouldn't cherish because he already had enough of it. She even went as far as asking his family what to get him, but their ideas were all generic. Not something that would stand out.Gina had always been the kind of person who wanted her gifts and surprises to be one of a kind. Even if she didn't have the money, she was ready to go all out and ensure that the person celebrating an occasion got the best. Something that she would remember for a long time and the was part of the reason she went to far lengths to ensure that Henry's friends came. When his m

As the hours passed, Henry tried hard to get Gina to talk to him. In between his reading and trying to open up the other gifts, it wasn't hard to see that his wife was a bit moody. At first, he didn't want to say anything about it even though her mood really disturbed him and made him feel awkward. He felt like something he had said made her angry, but what could it be? If he thought about it hard, she had started acting that way just after he went to use the bathroom. He scratched his head as he stared at her, part willing her to look at him and part wondering if he would be able to figure out the reason just by staring long enough.Eventually, he got tired of it and besides, his eyelids were drooping so bad. It was a work night and he needed to head to the office very early the next morning because a lot of meetings were still pending. So, he quickly went to the kitchen for s cho if water and by the time he came back, she had stopped pressing her phone and see

After they settled on the fact that he wouldn't be leaving or cheating on her with anyone anytime soon, he told her to go ready for the bowling date they were going for while he went to his in room to get prepared. Unlike her, he had already freshened up so he used the spare time to go downstairs and make something simple for them to eat. She would be hungry, as she didn't seem to have eaten much last night. Besides, she needed to be pampered especially after the stressful time she must have had with planning his party and then suspecting him.If he wanted to be very truthful to himself, he found the idea of her getting jealous very boosting for him. Before last night, he had been wondering what to do in the event that she was just pretending and seeing where everything lead. But now, he knew that she was just as invested in her as he was in her and it thrilled him greatly. That meant they were in sync with what they wanted to get out of the relationship, and it made him happy. Henry

As they arrived home that evening, Henry's thought process was on how he still hadn't told Gina about his plans to annul their marriage. Everytime he wanted to discuss it with her, she would bring up something else and he would get lost in that discussion. By the time he would realize what was happening, she would have started playing another game and whenever she did that, her heart and mind were so focused on it. They had talked about so much that day, but still nothing about one of the most important things. The way forward for both of them. As the chaffeur drove them back home, Henry wondered if there would be another way to tell her, or if the moment had passed.The minute they got home, Gina kissed his cheek and smiled wantonly as she started to move upstairs. His forehead creased as he tried to make sense of what she was doingoijg, only to realize better when she entered his room instead of hers. He smirked, and quickly started to move with her when his phone beeped with a mess

A private chaffeur, fancy parties, trips toworld-renowned designers, all expense paid stylists, helps to attend to my every need. But, the best part–seconded by the Annex card–was the popularity. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Gina's name was all over the news, bringing in both positive and negative reviews.

Just before Gina called Mr. Cornwell, she decided to go visit her mother. It was a combination of two reasons, mostly because she hasn't seen the woman in a long time and because her best friend also wanted to see her. She was feeling really guilty about how she had neglected to see her mother these last few weeks, but it was not due to the fact that she was busy or something. Rather, she was just that a negligent with a lot of places in her life but she quickly shook her head. If she was being honest with herself, there was absolutely no excuse for what she did.With that in mind, she quickly turned to her friend and thanked her for making her to be able to see her mother again. She didn't know what she would have done without the girl in her life, but she said nothing and together they went to visit the woman. Her personal chaffeur had already been informed about her impending visit and by the time she stepped out, the car was ready and all they needed to do was go inside and wait f

The next morning, Hevry was up earlt because he needed to catch his flight which was scheduled for eight am, and considering the fact that it was very impromptu, he had to tell the executives at the office. They were shocked and a few mumbled about the sudden decision, but all in all, they agreed to work without him for a week and all that was left was to tell Gina. As he dressed up, he couldn't help but remember the argument he had with his wife last night, and before the call came in, he was hoping to settle with her last night but apparently, it would no longer be possible.Within minutes, he finished dressing up and went downstairs where he realized that Gina was already sitting at the dining table. The first thing he noticed was that she was still clad in her nightwear, which meant she had just woken up from sleep. Could it be that she had done it for him, he whispered, and despite himself, he smiled. Maybe, she was finally seeing reason with his decision. He was already at the f

Gina watched as he frowned for some seconds before finally sighing and putting his hands in his pockets. His gestures didn't really seem like he was open to listening, but at least, it was better than when his arms were folded and he just looked like she was disturbing. She really wanted him to understand why she was so interested in doing the modelling, even though he wouldn't be the one to ultimately decided if she did it or not. Normally, she night not even have told him. Maybe he would just hear that she had settled into it.But with her new feelings for him came new responsibilities. Since they were dating and he had plans of being serious, she felt obligated to share the details of her life with him. But as the days passed and he gave her an attitude, she regretted it more and more. In hindsight, she should have known that he wasn't the kind of person to bend easily but she also hasn't suspected that he would be so averse to modelling. Internally, she was really annoyed at the w

Henry wanted so bad to follow Gina up the stairs to her room, but before he heard the lock turning, he already knew it wouldn't be possible. It was clear as day to see that she was really upset with him, and while he understood why, he also didn't want to allow her to go into the world of modelling. If advicing her meant that they wouldn't speak anymore that might, he was easy to live with that. With his mind set on that, he headed upstairs as well and in few minutes, he was already in the bathroom.More than anything, he loved Gina and wanted her to be respected at all costs. Apart form her being his wife which came with a lot of respect, and prestige, she was also a woman who deserves to be valued. Not sleazy looking. Henry knew it was wrong to refer to the women like that, but a lot of times, that was how he saw them. Always scantily dressed and ready to engage in other things. The public didn't know much about him, but given who he was, he was sometimes privy to underground inform

As the chaffeur drove them home, Gina failed to understand why Henry was stopping her. She even tried to think about whether the man he was talking to had annoyed him in some way, so much so that he wanted to rub it off on her and stop her from doing what she wanted. Even though she had never really thought about becoming a model or something like that, she had always wanted a chance at spotlight. A chance for people to see how beautiful she was, on the outside. Though it was still a good thing, she sometimes got tired of having to rely on her inner beauty.In some sort of way, it sounded vain but she had long realized that in order to be happy, sometimes you needed to be selfish and put yourself out there. When she decided to go to the function with Henry, she didn't even given much thought to her outfit except the fact that she looked amazing in it. However, people complimented her on it so much detailing how it fit her body size and texture. If she was being honest with herself, it

Before Gina realized it, she and Mr. Cornwell were deep in conversation with Henry inputting something every now and then. She had learned he was a fashion icon for one of the leading designers in the country, and he was currently on the lookout for new models. Apparently, he was at the party to scout for anyone who seemed like they fit the type, and she found herself enthralled by his stories. For the first time since she arrived the party, she was actually holding a conversation with someone. Not just being by her husband's side while they discussed politics and things she didn't know about.Even though she felt that Henry wasn't very comfortable with the discussion, she couldn't help but feel a certain sense of power. She was the kind of person who actively followed style brands and fashion icons, so most of the things Mr. Cornwell said were actually stuff she could relate to and have an opinion of. After a moment of them just talking, Henry excused himself to go and greet one of t
