"Well, the only alternate option right now, is to use the medicines I've prescribed. But that may not seem to work so fast," the doctor vividly stated.
I turned to Ace who was standing by the side of the bed, his facial expression blank, as if he wasn't interested in what the doctor was saying.
"Are you sure?" he asked again. "I'm willing to give you extra money. Isn't there a way you can perform a surgical operation on her?"
I raised a brow at him, and giggled silently. "I don't want surgery." My response was firm, firm enough to shut the doctor up from saying anything.
I was pretty sure the doctor would regret that he had to encounter a cl

HIS ARRANGED WIFE Truth
I still stared at my phone as it rang. He was already calling for the second time, and I still hadn't made a decision, whether or not to pick it.I didn't want any form of distraction in my life. My life was already so complicated to aggravate it further. I just didn't know what to do.I sighed and finally decided to switch it off. That was the best way to avoid any calamity from befalling me. I really wished to speak with him, in order to get rid of my sad thought, but my marriage was at stake.Being close to him could severely hurt my marriage. It was only going to confuse my already confused life, and worsen my problems. I couldn't let such. My life was already so difficult.I sat by the bedside, and waited patiently for Ace to come upstairs. If he didn't like me, there was a way I could let him do. I could probably start up from friendship. If he wasn't ready to take the move, I was.
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Sorry
I still somewhat hesitated, as we faced each other. He was scowling intensely as I stared calmly. I didn't know how to begin. I also had doubt if he'd believe me. He seemed to have fed his mind with thoughts of how well I wanted his money. He didn't even know the real stuff. I hoped he'd believe me completely. I was too innocent for this shit. I expired and swallowed calmly. "Firstly," I began. "I want to ask you some questions." He scoffed and released his folded arms, tucking them into his shorts. "What now? Ask for my money? Or ask for something more expensive?"I furrowed my brows at him, weakly. Why did he have such a crazy mentality? It wasn't fine at all. "No." I stated sharply."Then what?" He retorted. "Would you let me speak?" I requested. "Ok. I'll let you speak. Go on.""Ace." I called softly. "Thinking about it, have I ever asked y
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Get your ass off, soon.
MIAI stepped out of the bathroom, and walked to the closet, still wrapping a towel across my chest. I was so joyful, that it began to cause a confusion for me. I couldn't explain how well I felt, to finally be able to tell Ace the truth. I didn't even know why I had not done that in a long time. Ace wasn't in the room and wasn't anywhere close. He had left for the study earlier. When we woke up in the morning, he greeted first. I thought I was still in a dream. In fact, he didn't frown at all. He only wore a completely normal look. I was getting to feel that my husband was finally going to change towards me. I only hope for my feeling to be right, cause he was the most erractic person I had ever seen. I unwrapped the towel, and dropped it on its holder, sliding on a dark blue pencil jeans trouser, and a red tank top. I brushed my already dried hair, neatly, and slipped on some slippers, heading
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Ready for the battle^_^
ACEI stared dumbly at Emily, as she spoke about her holiday in Australia. I was so tired of listening to it already. She was probably waiting for me to get excited, but I was too tired for that. She didn't even allow me to focus on my work, all day long. She had been around since ten in the morning, and wasn't willing to leave yet, although it was already eight. I was really frustrated already.When it was five, I wanted to ask her to leave, but she seemed to be so amazed, and I didn't want her lonely life to haunt her. I always loved it when I saw her happy. It always made her horrific past to not overshadow her. It always made me glad as well.Besides the fact that Emily was talking too much, I was also stressed out for some reason. After my fight with Mia, I couldn't get myself. I couldn't express how well I was frustrated, and how well I regretted my reaction.I just didn't understand why I cou
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Going well:-)
ACE"And that's the end of today's meeting." One of my workers, Mr Daniel, stated. Finally!I sighed, and dismissed everyone immediately. I was already tired of the meeting. After a while of listening to what he was saying, I completely zoned off. I was lost for some reason. "Mr Norman." Mr Daniel called, as he sauntered to me. "How was my presentation? Do you think it's going to yield a great result?" He asked. I stared at him blankly. "What presentation?" I asked confusingly. "Sir...the one I just finished." He stated. I chuckled perplexingly. "Oh. That one. I'll get back to you soon.""Ok." He added, as he walked out of meeting room. To be sincere, I wasn't listening at all. I didn't even have a hint of all he stated. All I could tell was, I saw him speaking. My mind wasn't even connected to anything he men
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Threats
I walked gently in the wealthy estate, and examined the houses. They were as well big like Ace's. It didn't seem like people were actually living there. It was just so quiet. I had decided to walk to Ace's office. He didn't know about it, and that was good for me. I was already tired of taking the car all the time. I liked it, but I needed to be careful not to gain some weight. As I trekked, Emily words kept hitting me. I was honestly tired of it. Her threats were slowly killing my mind. I wanted to tell Ace about it, but I wasn't sure he'd believe me. When I tried to state it to him before, he thought I was joking. I just didn't have a way to convince him. I sighed, and finally turned to the last street. Ace's street. It was time to stay in there, and wait for him to get back from work. But at least, waiting for him, was far better than being stucked in that prison. I finally spotted someone i
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Give up
I walked gently in the corridor, and knocked at the door of Ace's study room. No one answered, so I tried knocking again, but still, it was to no avail. That was quite surprising. I had gone to his gym firstly, and I didn't see him there, so I came to his study room, as well, and he wasn't still there. I wondered where he was. I hadn't seen him all afternoon. He told me he'd be back, while we were chatting in the room, but he didn't come back. He was probably at his office, but I didn't think so. If he had gone there, he would have stated it to me.I held the door knob, and finally decided to open it. I didn't know if he'd like that, but I could at least give it a trial.I pecked my head in firstly, and tried scrutinizing the place carefully, but still, he wasn't in there. I began to be scared a little. Where could he be? Those were the only places he always was. What was going on?
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Wrong intimacy
I drove into Emily's huge compound, and hurried to her door. A sudden fear grew within me. I couldn't think of any reason she had to call me so late in the night. Few years back, she called me at the same time, and something terrific happened that day. Her parents, who never had her time, hired a person to stay with her. On getting there I heard noises from inside her house. And when I got in, the hired person tried to rape her. She also had that trauma till forever.. I only hoped it was something not similar to that, in any way. I didn't know how I was going to handle such situation. I stepped into the place, with so much alacrity, and forcefully shut it, as soon as I was in.I steered my neck to scrutinize the place thoroughly, and then, I found Emily by her kitchen's counter, sipping from her cup of whatever she was drinking.She looked so terrible, and worried. So

HIS ARRANGED WIFE Epilogue
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
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Attack: Last chapter
"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.
HIS ARRANGED WIFE Marriage at stake
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
