chapter five

I woke up by 7:57am on Monday, that's unlike me or maybe it's because I'm not going to work else I'm sure I would've been up earlier.

I took my bath after cleaning up my room, maybe i should go out and have fun since I will be free for the whole day.

It's been ages since i visited the zoo, maybe i should go there.

I dressed up in a pink T-shirt and a pair of white shorts, my hair was braided in a single plait and i lined my eyes.

I bought some ice creams, cheese crackers, pretzels, candies and bagels.

I cannot explain my unending love for bagels, I think they're really delicious. You can try it sometimes.

After hours of wondering like a lost child, i returned home and found Edward inside my house.

"Jesus Christ Edward, you're so creepy" I exclaimed as my heart flew into a panic.

"I just wanted to surprise you" he said with a smirk.

"Please don't do it again i could have another panic attack" i said breathing slowly.

"I apologize but it's your fault, you never told me you suffered from panic attacks" he said and i sighed.

He's actually justifying his mistake, it's ridiculous. I mean who does that???

"What are you here" i asked.

"I came to check up on you but you seem like you were having fun instead of bed resting" he said and i shrugged.

"I couldn't just sit home all day, i had to stretch my legs and get fresh air " i said and took off my shoes.

Edward is absurd for thinking i'll lock myself in doors all day. It's not like I'm even a prisoner.

"I'll be going back home then"Edward said and my heart leaped for joy, I tried so hard to hide my excitement but i couldn't.

At least i can now have a peaceful day without this dummy.

"I'll see you later then" I said and excited him to his car...

Yesterday afternoon i sent part of the surgery money to mom, my dad will be going to the theatre room tomorrow.

I hope everything goes well cos I'm suffering in hands of a lunatic called Edward.

I've tried calling mom but her phone has been switched off since last night. I just hope she's eating well.

She needs to take care of her self cos I'm not ready to start paying double bills.....

Edward sat in the back seat of his jaguar listening to the soft jazz music that played from the car radio.

He clicked his fingers slowly, he always does this when he is lost in thoughts.

He was slowly giving up on himself, with all the false rumors that were spreading about him, he wasn't sure if he was going to bounce back again.

His company was having some financial problems and there were lots of debts to offset.

He thought of selling the company to his greatest enemy Quinn.

That would mean defeat but isn't it better than watching his years of labour crumble to the ground within a year????

Dark secrets, lots of mysteries to unravel, he wanted to find that bastard Kiara and strangle her to death cos her one stupid act is going to cost him more than a fortune.

Fuck!!!!!, he was in serious shit and he didn't have business allies so he would suffer everything alone.

* * * *

I woke up excitedly dancing around my room, staying at home for a week nearly drove me insane.

I quickly took my bath and dressed up in a pair of black jean trousers and a milk coloured over coat.

Winter is fast approaching so i need to cover my self else i'll catch a cold and that would be bad, trust me.

I'm glad Edward hasn't showed up yet, i need to hurry before he gets here.

I made my hair in a single braid and hurried outside cos i need to make the second bus and Edward's car was parked in front of my house, WTF?

I planned to ignore him and rush to the bus stop but that wouldn't be possible.

"Good morning sir"I greeted politely.

"Stop being a hypocrite and get in the car" he said and i looked at him blankly because the slightest emotion he gets from me could lead to mockery.

"I'm not a hypocrite" i said and slammed the car door.

"Woah, woah, easy. This baby cost me a fortune" he said cleaning a speck of dirt from the glass and i gritted my teeth trying to control my anger, he is really getting on my nerves.

I sometimes wish i was a tigress so i can tear this idiot into shreds.....

"Are you okay with that?"Edward asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Huh??"

"Please don't tell me you haven't been listening to what I've been saying this whole time?" he asked and i looked away.

"Whatever" i muttered rebraiding the tip of my hair.

He chooses to pester me and it's very annoying, i regret this stupid decision i made.

I can't wait to get to the office cos i really need to see Becky, I've missed her alot.

"You're finally here"Becky said and hugged me excitedly as i got down from Edward's car.

"I am" I said and noticed some of the other girls standing outside.

"What's going on?" i asked

"Oh, the others were curious why you were absent from work for a whole week and i told them you were on a vacation with your fiance" Becky said and i gave her a high five.

"That would make them really jealous" i said with a smirk. This is really fun and I'm just beginning with them, more is yet to come.

"I know and that's why i spread the news" Becky said as we both went to our offices.

The manager reduced my daily tasks and i was also given free lunch, I'm guessing it's the benefit of being engaged to the owner of the organization were i work.

I still can't believe Edward owns this place, he is so dumb and it makes me wonder how he managed to get this far.

"So..., how was your time together?"Becky asked and i made a weird face.

"We didn't spend time together"I replied.

"Then what were you doing at home for a whole week?"she asked.

"I was sick" I replied tiredly, her questions are driving me nuts.

"He was taking care of you right?"she asked.

"Yes" i replied.

"Then you guys spent time together" Becky squealed clapping her hands.

"We didn't" i muttered to myself.

"Anything else" Becky asked looking at me beaming with smiles.

"No" i shook my head.

"Are you sure you guys didn't do anything" she asked again and this time i got her message.

"Shut up dirty mind" i snapped and went outside hoping she wouldn't follow me and thankfully she didn't.

I need a break to think everything again, Edward didn't even let me breathe he kept watching my every move and i hated it cos it made me feel like a prisoner
