Title: Met the rude jerk
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Aubrey's pov)
"Rey, wake up. "
I heard a voice whispering into my ear. I knew who the voice belonged to." Isla"
My best friend.
"What do you want?" I asked grumpily.
"Are you serious?, still on bed by 7am" She yelled and her voice was loud enough to make my sleep disappear.
"What?, 7.am, f**k" I pushed her away and ran into the bathroom.
7.00 in the morning. Like what was I thinking?, sleeping so late.
~
I wore my snickers and combed my long hair not forgetting to put on my face cap. As I walked out of my small room, the aroma of mom's tossed bread filled the air. Too bad, I wasn't going to stay for breakfast.
"Mom, I'm off" I shouted.
"Stay for breakfast, hun"
"I'll come by, later in the day"
With that, I scurried off to my bike.
~
I'm Aubrey Cox. My mom's name is Rena Cox and i'm the only child. Well, f**k dad. I don't wanna talk about him. My best friend's name is Isla Gomez.
I don't have any particular job, I do many jobs depending on my time.
Here are my daily routine.
From 6 to 9 am, i work for Mrs maria at her home, preparing the kids for school and doing some house chores. From 10am to 1pm, i work at Mason 's restaurant. I just cook and wash the dishes. At 2 to 5pm, I work at Mr grumpy 's gallery shop.
At 6, i help mom at her small restaurant down the street. I'm a very busy person.
Apart from working so hard, i have a part time classes.
"Slow down, Rey" Isla warns.
"I'm late and I'm gonna loose my pay today if I don't get on .... "
I quietly shut my mouth up and continued riding.
I knew it was useless talking to her at this point.
In not less than 20 minutes, I parked my ride behind her house and jumped the stairs to Mrs Maria 's door. I knocked lightly on her door and Mrs Maria opened almost immediately.
"You came late, Aubrey" She started.
"I'm so sorry, Mrs Maria. I overslept and..."
"Cut the crap and get to work"
with that being said, she left leaving i and Isla alone.
"Bye Rey " I said and she smiled before walking up the street.

(Rowan's POV)
My eyes were glued on my laptop when my best friend came in.
"Manny, you're not going for lunch, are you?" He asked as if he doesn't know the answer to it.
I kept quiet still working on some documents.
"Your mom called me"
I rolled my eyes.
"I know, she calls everyday" I answered nonchalantly.
"When do you intend to answer her?"
"When I get a wi...fe"
I replied stressing the wifey word. At the thought of calling some lady my wife made me angry and sick. F**k women...
"You're kidding, right?"
I looked up at him and closed my laptop.
"Let's go for lunch"
I stood up and walk out.
~
"What do you mean?" He asked as we got out of the elevator together.
"Can we change the topic already?" I growled. He stared at me for awhile and nodded.
I ignited the car engine and zoomed off.
~
"Stop playing hard to get, Rowan" Mom was speaking so loud on the phone that i had to drop my phone on one of Zack 's lap.
"Mom, I can't make it home, i've a lot to do at the office" I said.
"I don't care if you have loads of work to do at the office, I want you here this evening"
She barked and ended the call.
"She can't be serious". I mumbled angrily.
"Best mom in the world".
Zack complimented her. He seemed to enjoy mom's taunting and a quest for a wife. I screeched my car abruptly in a halt to look at him.
"She won't stop til i get one. I mean women sucks, they have nothing to offer" I stated dryly.
"Women are wonderful creatures, Rowan. They might be crazy at some point but believe me, anyone who understands them, enjoys them. "
He's right in his own way. He's expecting a second child from Zoe, his wife. I can't date any other lady, not after what Anna had done 2 years ago.
We both heard a hard knock on my car window and that got our attention.
"Let's hear her" Zack said and I shrugged. I reluctantly wind down the car window and stared at the lady.
"Come out'
"What?"

~Aubrey's POV~
As I made out of MR. Mason 's restaurant, I went over to where i had packed my ride and saw them damaged. Like all parts were tittled all over the floor.
This is my life savings . This bike takes me round the city and helps me a lot at work. With rage, i walked to the car parked infront of it and knocked so hard on the window. I can't see the driver because the car was tinted.
Not so long, the car window was wind down revealing a young handsome man, blue eyeballs, pink lips, bla bla bla.
"Come down"
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked, biting his lower lip. Gosh!!. Is he a god or something?.
'Focus young Lady'. I told myself.
"You damaged my bike. Don't tell me you had no idea?"I asked suddenly feeling the rage again.
"So."
I stared at his cute lovely eyes. I gulped down nothing and looked away.
"Get a new one, b**ch" He cussed.
"What?"
B**ch?.
I angrily stomped my foot, opened his back seat and sat down.
"What in God's name are you doing?" He roared.
"We're purchasing a new one together. Take me to the bike store" I rested my back on the seat. The car was nice and cooler than I thought.That's why he lacked sense.
"I think it's not necessary, I mean give me your account number and I'll send the cash" The other man said. And he groaned loudly.
"Not after calling me a bitch. The earlier, the better"
I was enjoying the air conditioner and the car smelt nice. After working for hours,i think I've found what I needed.

Titled: A quest for a wife."Wake up "I jolt out of my little nap and cleaned my eyes. I stared at the two piercing eyes of the young man. With a huff, I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. The drive to the bike store was so boring that i fell asleep.Now, I was standing in front of a mansion."Where am I?"I asked, confused. This was neither the bike store or did he perhaps take me to his house?."Where am I ?" I repeated running my hands over my neck.He did not answer immediately, he rolled his eyes and knocked on the gate. An older man who I presumed was the gateman opened the gate."Good evening, sir"He greeted."Would you open the gate for me? What have you been doing?"He sounded so rude and he was yelling. I heaved a sigh and got back into the car.If it's to take the day's off, I would, for that bike.He entered the car and drove into the mansion. The mansion was ex
Title: Introduction to a marriage proposal~Rowan's pov~Like seriously?, she returned the money. I kept staring at the money in front of me. I had called Zack to come to my office quickly after mom left."Manny, you cal...ugh..why that look?" He asked from the door."Come take a look" I mumbled.He walk close to me and looked into the bag."All I see is money" He says crossing his hands."The bike girl was here"I told him. He looked a little bit surprised."For?, I thought you payed her, man""She..fuckingly returned the money, Zack""What?, you mean you gave her that much and she returned it""Isn't that weird?, she wants to show off with nothing, lowlife" I cursed."No, I find it amusing, no girl would do that""Strange right?.""Yeah. She's different."I rolled my eyes. I don't know, it was always useless speaking to Zack.He thinks the opposite.
Title: Persuaded~Mrs Adam~I waited patiently for Rowan to come. I was excited at the news i was about to break to him. Finally, I've found a wife, not only a wife but someone that could bring happiness to my son's life. Although i found out they were not in good terms with each other but I believe it would turn to love someday.Rowan walked into the sitting room with his phone at his right hand and the other hand dipped into his pocket. He heaved a long sigh before sitting on the cushion."You looked relieved to see me"He spoke before sitting opposite me."Yeah, at a time I couldn't wait to break the news to you"I said excitedly."You've found a wife"I looked surprised."How did you know?" I asked bewilderedly."Only that could make you smile"He replied, not without rolling his eyes."Well. You're right. I've found a wife for you. " I started."Okay""And you know her"I con
Title: Tricked into begging her~Rowan's pov~I walk inside and didn't find mom anywhere. I met Miriam come out of the kitchen. "Miriam.""Good day, sire. I want to talk to you about mrs Adam.""Go on.""Mrs Adam has refused to take her meal since morning. She had herself locked up in her room and had told me never to disturb her again."I ran upstairs to her door and knocked loudly at her door. I heard a sob and began knocking and pushing the door. "Mom, open the door, please." I begged."Mrs Adam, wait. I have the spare key" Miriam said behind. I turned and quickly snatched the keys from her. I inserted the key and pushed the door open. What I saw in the room left my mouth hanging open. Her room has been kept upside down, her mirror, the pillows torn into pieces made my heart beat increased thinking she must had hurt herself."Mom."
Title: Rejected his proposal.I walk out of the bathroom and sighed, knowing that what I'm about to do is very new to me. I've never been comfortable conversing with a guy not to talk of going out for a date, though i wouldn't call this a date.I had to ransack into a pile of clothes in my closet and finally settled on the very simple gown my mom got me on my last birthday.Coming out of the bathroom to the sitting room, I met him tapping his foot on the floor as he impatiently wait for me. He turned and looked at me, and for a moment i noticed how handsome he looked in his casual wear. I noticed his look on me and averted an eye contact."You're here. Finally." He says checking his wrist watch. I gulped down and looks at mom who has been grinning from ear to ear, giving me funny looks. "I don't hate you after all." I said to her and found myself exiting the sitting room.
Title: Finally accepted him.Aubrey's POVIt's been three days of rejecting and running away from Rowan Adam. I thought he would give up and decides to get married to someone else.My phone rings for the umpteenth time today and i almost threw my phone away. "You don't have to ignore my calls." I heard this deep baritone voice says behind me. I turned and gasped when i saw Rowan leaning against the wall with folded arms. His enchanting eyes piercing into my skin, I gulped down and turned back to my phone."Stop ignoring me, cutie." I bite my lips and turned back to him. "What are you doing here?" I asked. He gave a smirk and pushed down his face cap which i was grateful for, incase students comes out and sees us maybe recognizes him,therefore causing a scene."Stay away from me." I shunned him and walked ahead of him. I felt him walking behind and instantly i was lifted off the ground in
Title: The dinner with my in-laws.Today is another different day for me, a new week has begun and no day passed without a gift packaged infront of my doorstep, a gift from my soon to be in-laws.I didn't know a wedding preparation could be this tedious as I was forced to go on a date, have fun which I don't enjoy with Rowan's friends, eat and invite friends and relatives for the wedding.Another was being drag to church for classes which I had to wait everyday for my gracious fiance to show up. And today, i was gonna have dinner with my soon to be inlaws.I walked slowly behind mom as we walked together into the compound. Looking around, I had to be reminded that this was when it all started, from the restaurant to this mansion."C'mon. Be fast"Mom urged while i just rolled my eyes."If you can't smile, force it"Isla whispered."It's not funny. I'm actually gonna get
Title: My wedding dress~Isla's pov~I angrily studied Rey's face. Oh gosh!. Who wouldn't want to be in her shoes?. A young sexy, rich business man was going to get married to her in three days and she's all moody about it.Just take a look at her wardrobe, it was all filled with assorted clothes, shoes and bags.Do you wanna speak of her mother's coffee shop?, it's a very big coffee shop, coupled with the fact that Mrs cox had made it a restaurant lately. All these happened in just few days..not that I'm jealous but who wouldn't be jealous? Ughhhhh!!!."What's with the face?" Rey asked me."I'm jealous of you"I confessed and looked away. She scoffed."Jealous of what?, the clothes?, or MR Jackass?" She asked back like she read my mind and I laughed."Babe. Listen, all these," She points towards the wardrobe. " It's for us. I cannot use all of these, that would be extremely bad of me, if I do so.""Really?, I wou
Title: Happily lived.Finally, I decided to have a chat with my dad. I walk to our doorstep and knocked lightly on our door. The door was opened by my dad. He was surprised to see me. "Uhm. Can I come in?" I asked him.I sat in front of my dad. He had grown so old these past years. I sipped my coffee and dropped it on the table. "How have you been?, dad" He looked up when I called him dad. "I'm fine. Aubrey.. I'm so sorry, I'm.. ""It's fine dad. I have no grudges against you. I just want to let you know that I'm...23 today, I have a husband and I'm living fine, heathier then when you left us. I wanted to tell you that I passed and succeeded in paying my bills and seeing myself through school." I wipe my tears. "We are good, I guess."After a heartfelt conversation with my dad, I went home. I had my bath and prepared dinner for I and Rowan. Today is christmas and i w
Title: Saved."Give me a blow job." He ordered me. I hesitated and he pushed me out of the bed. I hit my head on the table. "Who's there?." He shouted. "Sir…""Tie her up." He commanded.Tied up to a seat, Ken walked in and smirked. He had this rope in his hand and he look at me lustfully. He turned his gaze to one of his men beside him and saw how he was giggling and licking his lips. Before I know what was happening, he points a gun at him and released the bullet. I screamed. "Shut up." He ordered. "This is what I do to people who looks at my property. You, outside." One of his men rushed in. "Give her food." He ordered and left.I bent down and thought about my life. I didn't know what I've been keeping for my husband tonight was gonna be taken by this animal. If he forces himself on me today, what will i do?, will he look at me as his wife again?.A young w
Title: Kidnapped.It's December 4th and today's my graduation day from college. I was very happy that i made it finally. It was supposed to be my happiest day on earth but it wasn't. My happiest day on earth was my days spent in Dubai. You wouldn't blame me for that. "Aubrey. Be fast. You can't keep us waiting" Rowan shouts from downstairs. I put on my heels and walked downstairs very carefully not to trip and fall. I wouldn't want to stain my purple ball gown. "You look extremely ravishing, my queen"I smiled. He drew me closer and kissed me. "I love how you smell tonight. My love""Please don't sway my head, my love. You're not bad either" I looked at his black suit, his hair stylishly combed to the back giving him a new look. "Baby. Don't look at me that way or i won't mind fucking you right here.""Damn you!! Sweety. You always have a way to make me wet " I told him and stepped into the black suv car. He went through to the other side an
Title: She's in labor.I walk into Anna's ward and met her and the doctor excessively closer to each other. They were so close that i thought they would kiss. I clears my throat and alerted them of my presence. They looked up and saw me. The doctor drew back and walked away reluctantly."Hello""Yes"She averted an eye contact with me."Wow. I see you're enjoying yourself" She smiled."Yes. I am""With the doctor" I said wriggling my eye brows."Oh stop. Philip is a friend""I can see that. I thought it's supposed to be a doctor. not a friend""He's a friend. I'll call him whatever i want to.""He started being a friend in this hospital. Are you in love with your doctor?" That's me. Stating the obvious."He's widowed. No" She blushed."Look, you're blushing" I teased. My phone rang interrupting us. "It's Saeed" I looks at Anna. "The one with Tyler?"I picked up the call. '
Title: He's caught.~Nelson's pov~I laughed and stood up. I cleaned the blood and walked out of the bar. Even staying hidden from the cops, i still managed to piss him off. I'm happy he could not recognize me. I saw this gorgeous girl walk into the bar with her friend, Isla. Not too long, Rowan came in with Zack. I've watched them for awhile and luck was on my side. I saw Isla left the bar and i used that to come close to Aubrey. I made Rowan jealous and he came after me. He was going to take more punches by the time i finish with him. I walk outside to see them kissing and that pissed me off. They still managed to kiss even when they fought. I bit my lips angrily and left. I walk back into the bar and called my men together.~Rowan's pov~I felt guilty after i saw her run off. I missed Aubrey, i missed her so much. I walk back to the bar and told Zack that i was done with the drink. I didn't wait for him to talk me out of it after I took m
Title: The kiss.~Aubrey's pov~I can't believe he said that. Rowan has hurt me beyond imagination. He believed i cheated on him, Rowan believed i got pregnant with another man's child. But am i really pregnant?.A knock was heard and i cleaned my hands with the towel and went to open the door. I peeped through the hole and saw Isla. I opened the door. She looked at me with pity and hugged me instantly."Oh baby, it must be really hard for you""What are you doing?""Cleaning. I'm cleaning" We disengaged from the hug."I brought wine. Tada"She shouted and raised the wine up."That's so thoughtful of you. You're a genius""I always am"I disappeared into the kitchen and came afterwards with glass cups."I can't believe he said that""Aubrey. Are you really pregnant?" She asked pouring the wine into the glasses."I'm not. There's no bump"She chuckled.
Title: Missing.I reached home and sat down tiredly. I had been feeling dizzy lately. My gosh!!. I think I'm gonna fall sick."Where have you been?" I looked up and saw Rowan staring down at me. I ignored him."Where have you been?""Why do you want to know?, huh.""I demand an answer now!!""You can't force me to say what i don't want to say." I got up and pushed him away."Aubrey, come back here" He yelled out my name. "Aubrey"I woke up the next morning and felt a strong urge to puke. I sprint into the bathroom and released everything in my system inside the toilet. Eish!. I'm sick.I came out and found Rowan looking strangely at me. I ignored him and went to dress for school.After 30minutes, i was dressed for school. I went downstairs only to find Rowan looking strangely at me again. He called Miriam, she came running into the sitting room. "Where's Tyle
Title: I believe the child.~Aubrey's pov~"Aunt""Yes, darling" I turned and smiled at him. "Why is my dad mean to my mom?" Tyler asked. "Oh. Baby. He isn't mean to your mom. They just had issues but i bet they will resolve it okay?" He nodded."I'm afraid of that man who always hurt my mummy"I stopped driving immediately. "Which man?" I asked. "The man who beats mummy at home. " I smiled reassuring Tyler that no one beats his mom. A child at this age isn't suppose to witness any domestic violence at home. And why was Anna beaten in front of her child is another story altogether. I'll have to speak to Anna about this.I dropped Tyler at school and drove to college.I walked inside Mr. Houston's office. "Aubrey, finally you're back""So much has happened these past months. I'm really sorry""You don't have to apologize. You are one of my brilliant students in class, i just
Title: He's coming around.~Rowan's pov~I woke up and looked at my Riry. It was really hard to see her cry and sob yesterday. I was angry with that man. He is the reason my Aubrey cried. I checked my alarm and found out that it was 6:03 in the morning, i got up and walk downstairs to make breakfast for her.Getting downstairs, i met Anna frying eggs. She looks at me in fear and quickly avoided me. I ignored this and started making granola for Aubrey."It's a half cup canola oil" I look up as she brew up her coffee."But it's one. You taught me that" I replied and she looked up immediately. My eyes locked in hers. She was stunned. "You remembered?" She asked.I look away blinking back tears that were threatening to come out."Sorry. Half canola oil, half cup maple syrup, half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Thank me later" She said and left.I was done and
