MIA

I wandered in the living room, still waiting patiently for Ace to return.

He didn't come home the night before, and he made me worried sick. To worsen it, his number wasn't going, and absolutely no one, knew about his whereabouts. I thought of calling his mom, but I knew she'd fret, if she heard that he was missing. But still, what if he was there?

I finally decided to call her, but I didn't ask if Ace was with her. I wanted her to say something about it first. I waited for her to ask me if Ace was doing well, and I had to lie. I told her he was sleeping cause he got home really late. I felt really bad for having to lie to her. I didn't even know where he was, speaking of sleeping in the house. What could I do?

I was still terribly annoyed at him, but I needed to find him as soon as possible. I didn't know if it was important to file a missing report, but I planned to do that, if he wasn't hom

    MIAI gently sat on the bed, and silently slipped on my slippers. I walked to the closet, and changed from my night gown to a more comfortable cloth. I just couldn't go out in those.I changed my clothes in a hurry, and packed my hair as well, as I tiptoed to the door.It was 10:00pm already. I managed to get Ace to sleep early, so I could still get to Drake's place with Jenny. I also asked Jenny to wait for the night. She didn't want to do it, but I forced her too. She thought we weren't doing the right thing, but I sincerely thought it was important. He needed to be thought some things.I slowly opened the door, and shut it gently too. If Ace knew about where we were going, he'd definitely not allow us to leave the mansion, especially not at night. I really hoped he wasn't going to be awake, in the interval I'd be gone. I managed to get to the living room, then I rushed

    I still stared into Drake's eyes, as we were hardly few inches away from each other. I was so nervous and helpless. I knew, absolutely, nothing to do. I couldn't push his hard body. He could only end up hitting me, or doing something so painful. But also, I couldn't let him sleep with me like that. Even Ace hadn't done that, and had never forced me to, although we both slept in the same room, and in the same bed. I needed to do something badly, but how could I?"Drake Please." I tried pleading. "Don't do this to me. I beg of you. It won't do any good to us both. Please."He scoffed. "I told you it's too late. I've been madly craving for you, for a really long time.""But why?" I retorted, still in between tears.He moved backwards, and stood from the bed. "Come to think of it." He said, as he began to wander around the room. "I dated you for a year and a half, only for me to get you, but I didn

    "That's the truth Mia." He continued, still holding my arms in his grip. "I've really tried to hide my feelings, but it keeps on jerking into my heart and mind."I stared at him blankly. I wanted to move closer to him, and embrace him tightly. I really felt like thanking him for finally confessing his feelings, but, I didn't think it was the right time to do such, cause his facial expression had a really crazy mixed feeling. He looked angry, sad, and jealous.I didn't mention a thing as well. Although I was really excited, I was equally nervous and hesitant. I wasn't sure of how to react at all. I knew he was being genuine, but in a way, I had some crazy doubts.The fact that he always insulted me, really made me feel discouraged about the whole thing. I didn't want to get hurt whenever he ended up sputtering some mean words in my face, and I also never wanted to be affected by love any longer.&

    "Common Ace. Keep calm. One more pancake won't hurt you." Mia squealed, as she tried stuffing another pancake into my mouth.I hit gently against her hands, and stood from my seat. I was done trying to eat what I didn't wanna."Mia. I'm so full for now. Don't make me eat more. Ok?" I smiled at here.She pouted like a child, and creased her arms across her chest, staring at me with those adorable brown eyes. "No. I'm not satisfied with that." She refused."But I'm overly full. Do you wanna turn me into a glutton or something?" I joked.She chuckled, and unfolded her arms, tweaking my nose softly. "Maybe.""Maybe?" I asked rhetorically."Common. You're so slim already." She remarked."Well, thank you madam. But how could I get slim in one week? You told me I was fat, two weeks a

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Shocker

    I stared at Mia as she wandered from the bed to the wardrobe, arranging the room properly. I really wanted to speak with her, but she was doing one thing or the other. It seemed like she was purposely ignoring a conversation with me, and it was crazily affecting me. I wasn't getting myself at all!When we had breakfast, she didn't state anything to me. She only served my food, and got back into the room. I didn't even have the chance to ask her whether she had eaten or not. She was only being coldish.She turned to me, and immediately averted. She probably made a mistake by doing that. Her coldness couldn't last forever after all. I needed to do something. She was obviously hurt that I didn't fulfill my promise. I had to stop all of this.I stood from the bed, and hesitated before walking to her."Hey Mia." I finally spoke, as I stood in her front.She folded he

    Mia slowly left my arm, still staring confusingly at me, as she turned to stand in my front, which somewhat obstructed Emily from seeing me."What's going on Ace? I'm not sure I understand anything she's saying." She furrowed her brows at me, and waved her hands in the air, to clearly express that she was confused.I heaved out in fear, and moved forward to stroke the skin of her arms. "Mia. You'll have to try to listen to me." I said, trying to jerk her out of her confused self."I'm listening to you. I didn't even argue about anything. I only asked you a question." She averred, as she hit my grip off her arms. "I just need to understand what's going on. I'm not asking for anything more." She mentioned with a great deal of seriousness.I had no idea of how to begin a conversation with her. I didn't even know what to tell her, or how to tell her I knew nothing about how it hap

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Separate:-(

    I stepped slowly into the room, and steered my neck around, to view the sporadic place further. Seeing how the place was, I didn't think there was any chance for me to speak with her. Her red eyes alone almost scared me to death. I had no idea of how I could calm her down. I however expected her to feel so horrible, cause that wasn't the first time she was heartbroken.As I stepped closer, I halted for a while and inhaled deeply. Sincerely, it was the first time I'd ever feel so scared of a human in my entire life. It seemed like I was about to encounter the Lord.I stood about three feets away from her, and stared at her swollen eyes. It looked like she had cried her eyes out. I didn't have anything to say, but I needed to do something. I continued to walk to her, and sat on the bed space beside her.She didn't make any movement and also didn't refrain from looking at the floor, crazily jerking the bed

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Suspicious

    I sobbed softly as I plodded down the stairs, and sniffed to stop the mucus in my nose from dripping. I didn't know where I was going, but all I knew was, I didn't want to have Ace close at all. He was more than disgusting in my sight.I stepped into the living room and turned my neck left and right, in search of the bitch who caused my marriage to scatter. That was it. It was Emily I needed to see. She the one I felt like venting my frustration on.I panted heavily and tightened my fingers into a fist, when I discovered that she was no where close. But still, I was somewhat sure that Ace could never let her go home alone. Especially the fact that she was carrying his long needed heir.A thud sounded from Ace's study region, causing me to jerk my neck to the sound in a rush. She was definitely going to be the one. I was sure of it. And also, there was no one in the building excluding the three of us.&nb

    ACE"Daya and Ace." A voice called from behind.I twirled to face who it was, and turned back to wink at Daya. She smiled like she was shy, and her cheeks turned tomato red."Stop that Ace." She blushed, and gently hit against my arm. "You're making me feel weird."I smiled stylishly at her, and stood up from sitting beside her. "I'll be leaving now." I informed her, and winked again."Good." She said, remaining in her sitting posture.I bent a little, and dropped a kiss on her cheek. "Bye dear. See you anytime soon.""Bye." She grinned back at me."Good luck on your date." I added silently, still bending to her ear."Thank you." She replied in a whisper.I turned to the door, and smiled at the young adult my seventeen years

    "Common Ace." I pouted like a child as I sat beside him on the bed, and tucked my arms across my chest, frowning slightly at him.He rolled on the bed lazily, and rubbed his hands against his sleepy eyes. "Mia…" He called amidst a soft yawn. "I'm so tired. Let me sleep for one more hour.""You want to sleep right?" I cried, and shifted to the corner of the bed. "Fine. I'll leave you here."I was about to stand up when he held my hands and pulled me back to him, causing me to gasp and fall on his chest."Where are you going kitten?" He teased, forming a smile by the corner of his attractive lips.I continued to frown, and averted from staring into his eyes. "I told you to get up, and you're ignoring me." I complained.He raised his left hand to my face, and turned my jaw to look at him again. "I'm so sorry my princess. I've been

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   One more chance

    Waiting for an answer from her, I stared and did nothing. I wondered what she was planning to say. There was no excuse she could sputter anymore. Her lie was definitely the most stupid thing I had ever heard from anyone.While I searched for some things about her, I saw my picture, my mom's, and our wedding pictures. I seriously couldn't explain how she had them with her, but all I knew was that I was so glad I found it.A tear dropped from one of her eyes, making her to suddenly avert from our stare. I wish I could feel how hurt she was. Her husband literally sent her out of her home because he couldn't believe her. I was indeed a foolish guy.She sniffed, and rubbed her palm against her tearing eyes, still not looking at me. "What do you want?" She asked calmly, concentrating on the window as if I wasn't there.Her weak voice weakened me as well. I became so rueful and sorrowful,

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Seen her

    I stared at her in confusion. She was only hardening my pain. What was she asking? Was she trying to joke around or something?"What's going on, Mr?" She questioned sharply, tapping my hands from her arms.I furrowed my brows in a great deal of puzzlement, and held her arms again."Can't you speak?" She caught me out of my thoughts. "You first came into the ladies restroom, and now you're calling me Mia. What's with you?""What's wrong with you Mia? Are you…" I tried to speak again."Hey." She retorted, jerking from my hold, and raising a finger to point it in my face. "Don't try to act smart dude. I know what you guys do. You come to poor ladies like us, and try to hook up with us for a night.""Hook up? What's wrong with you Mia?""I should be asking you that. Mister." She attacked my words immediately. "And yeah, who

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Who are you?

    "Hey Mr Norman." One of the representatives of a really great company in Fort Myers, walked to me, smiling broadly like he just won a lottery. His bright eyes glowered in his wrinkled dark skin, making him seem so appealing.I tried to return his smile, as I walked towards him before he reached me. "Hi Mr Balogun." I greeted him."It's really nice to see you again." He stretched his hands for a handshake, still keeping his smile.I accepted his friendly handshake. "Same here. How have you been?""I've been doing so great." He replied enthusiastically in his luring African intonation. "It's just that I've been quite busy in my country, Nigeria. I haven't had time to work here in the states.""Oh. I get you." I nodded my head in acceptance. "And thanks for your great proposal in the meeting.""You're highly welcome." He grinned, and raised his hands

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   Leave!

    I clinged my cold fingers against each other and breathed in heavily to hide my fear. What if he was actually being serious? What if his crazy anger was permitting him to do something stupid again? That couldn't be possible. Ace loved me."You won't leave?" He disconnected me from my thoughts. From his serious and angry look, It seemed like he was actually being serious.I frowned a bit, trying to let him realize he was talking to me. "Wait Ace. Are you nuts? How can you tell me to leave you? Do I look like junk that you can throw into the trash can whenever you want?""I give you exactly five minutes to leave. I'll send your clothes to wherever you go." He mentioned pointedly, still panting heavily.I folded my arms across my chest in surprise. Was he that annoyed that he thought of something this stupid?"Tell me now." I said. "Where would I go? I know you're

  • HIS ARRANGED WIFE   She's gone

    ACEI waited impatiently in front of the door my mom was, wandering about like a confused person I persently was, and prayed so badly that nothing was going to happen to her.Unknowingly glimpsing at Mia, I observed that she seemed so worried like I was. So annoying. She was the mastermind behind everything that was happening.Earlier, I was really grateful to myself for having to tell her, but after everything that had happened, the only things that filled my heart were regrets. If I had known she would spill it out, I wouldn't have thought of saying anything to her.I turned from her irritating face, and finally stood in a particular position. My worry rate was increasing rapidly, and wasn't willing to fall at all. Goodness knew if I was going to survive if I saw the only person I loved, leave me. That couldn't happen. Nothing was going to happen to her.

    We stepped into the hospital building, staring helplessly like a bunch of lost sheeps. The place was so big and fabulous that I didn't think my senses could locate any place.Not wasting any more time, I dailed Ace's number, and waited for him to answer his phone."Where are you?" He questioned straight as he picked it."What's wrong Ace?" I tried to figure out the shit that got into him."Answer me first." He ordered, in more like a menace. This guy was running amok. I was sure of it. So unstable like a twirling kite.I rolled my eyes over the phone, trying to ignore his annoying act. "I'm on the first floor of the building. Where do I--""Good. I'll send someone to direct you up here." He interrupted, hanging up the call liked he had done before.Slowly, his attitude was starting to affect me we
