Can you return the favour?

2024-11-01 17:31:28The car drove into the house.
I looked out at the empty spaces on both sides of the driveway. They'd have made a good garden of beautiful flowers. A soft ray of blue light glows on the porch,and I suddenly got more nervous. I am going to be living with a man I hadn't met before. We haven't met before and I only researched about him three days ago since he was the perfect man for me,no,my plans. The car pulled to a stop,and a sneeze escaped my lips. "iishhh!"i covered my face with my palms,to avoid my saliva or mucus spilling out. "Seems like your wife has just caught a cold. Mr Winslow,do well as to prepare her a warm bath,and hot tea."Pierre commented,and I shot him a glare from the mirror. He raised his hands up in surrender. I extended my hand to reach for the door,but it was yanked open from the outside. Huh? My eyes rolled back to the empty space beside me. When did he get out? "Spoiler,"Pierra guarded his mouth at both sides with his hands. "I've never seen this gentle man side of him before. He wouldn't even get the door for his mother."he whispered. My face wrinkles up in confusion instead. That makes his action hella-hecka bizarre. I stepped out and he shut the door. I scooped my dress up in my hands. My breaths spiralled, leaving me no sure way to breathe comfortably. Pierra drove to the lot. "Follow me."I heard Miguel directs,and turned to see him walking towards the entrance door. I stared around; this house looks almost empty. Is he and Pierre the only one living here? Then, there's a problem! How can I possibly live with two strange men? Miguel threw me a look,and I sighed,before scurrying after him. A nice and cozy living room appeared in my view,as I went through the door. I like how things were arranged...the colours.. everything.. nothing flashy, just simple,and welcoming..or more 'homey' "Now,will you look at me?"he snorts behind me. I moved forward before turning back to look at him. "Your...house is nice."I muttered,biting my lips. "Well,sure."he answered arrogantly,before scrunching up his nose. "Why am I suddenly married to you today?"he questioned, straight away,as he set his head askew. A sharp breath left my lips. "Uhm..I know..tha..that.. would have taken you off guard.."I stuttered. "It did."he interrupts, brusquely. I cleared my voice,then itched my throat, nervously. Goodness. "..I had no other choice but to get married to you, Mr Winslow." Now that was more brave..but I don't think it's a good idea for me to be in this situation. He chuckled,wryly. "Really? Till this morning,I still told my board of directors that if I get married,I should be called a pig. But...this? Hahaha..."he laughed for a second then frowned the next. "I want to believe you've studied me. Then you should know ma.." "You don't want anything to do with ladies,yes..I know that. But,this isn't even love!"I cut him off, abruptly. His eyes narrowed at me. "I need you,Mr Winslow.. and I believe you need me too."I squared up my shoulders. "What will I need from a doll like you?"he scoffed. "Well... anything...you know."I replied,with a shrug. I saw a glint in his eyes. He was amused! Again! "Well, wrong choice of words!"my second chimes in my head. "Anything?"he crossed his arms,peering his eyes down at me. My eyeslashes moves fastly. "Maybe...not anything...but actually something.. and,I am not a doll!"I defended. "Hm,"he chuckles,eyeing me. "I see. Angry doll then?" "I am neither an angry or gentle doll!"I almost screamed. I won't have him talking down at me on our first meeting. I won't have anyone talk down at me again. "Oh, I'll so much like to call you that now."he grins. I gnashed my teeth at him. "Anyways,I need your help. I have so many mysteries in my family to unravel and, you're the only strong help.... You're the only man that seems enough for me."I explained,taking a deep breath in. "Never would I have seen me getting married to one of Wilsons daughters,especially you." His next words blasted like a bomb in my heart. What? "What...do you mean?"my brows arched up. He sighed,uncrossed his arms and stalked to one of the couch to sit down. I made a turnaround,and watched him. "It's pretty obvious that your family is chaotic, isn't it?"he looked to the side.. side-eyeing me. I ran my fingers in my hair, frustratedly. "Then,do you know what I want then?" "Can I ask you a question?"his eyes shot back at me. I blinked, nodding vigorously. "What suddenly changed?" His question left me befuddled. "What what?"I asked. "Why...are you doing all these now?" "I've been planning. So,all these didn't happened overnight." "And me? I think I happened overnight,in your little chess game."he dragged the last statement,his pupils studying me, closely. "I thought I could trust my husband. And when I couldn't,I turned-coats."I replied. "Back to my question,do you know what I want?" He looked away from me,placing a palm on the space beside him on the couch. "I know what you seek is not revenge."he uttered, gruffly. I rushed to his side. My eyes glowing in satisfaction. "I was right to have chosen you."I grinned. His cold gaze met with mine. "But can you return the favour?" A breath got stuck in my throat. Return his favor? What would that be? From the looks of it,it wouldn't be an easy one.Related chapters

I looked down, trying to fix the puzzle.He stood up,his figure towering over my body.I wasn't sure of what to say.Two of his fingers were used to lift my chin up,to stare at his face.I could hear my heart pounding hard in mu chest."If you can't give me what I want,then,that isn't business,doll."his eyes danced around my face.The intensity of his amber eyes in mine send sparks down my body system.I trembled under his cold touch.He seems to notice that as he smirks."Why? You were all talks minutes ago. You don't think you're up to my business?"I moved my chin away from his fingers."What exactly is that business of yours?"I asked in a spat.He heaves a sigh,before folding his arms."It's not decided yet."he responded."Then,my answer cannot be decided now.""Do you have a choice than to say yes?"My heart moves inside my mouth. I hid my scared demeanor under a sily smile."Then, Mr Winslow, will you throw me out of your house?"I watched his eyes moved to the door,and when I

I walked back to the room,after telling the cook I'd go down in some minutes time.I located the bathroom,doffed out of my wedding gown and dumped it in the laundry basket.I bent beside the jacuzzi.There were two faucets of water fixed on it.I turned the first one on,placing my hand under it and I shiver as the coldness hit my palm.I turned it off,rolling the top of the other.Warm water rushes out and I gave a satisfied nod before rising up.I stared around the bathroom.The walls are in light blue color with the accessories in cream color.The Jacuzzi itself was in white and the faucet were blue.There was a stand - in shower stall with transparent glassy door and walls but it's the type that could be turned translucent with a remote control.The floor were tiled in white.I closed my eyes,taking in the fresh breath.I guess this is it - HOME.I turned off the water when the jacuzzi was half filled before searching around the body wash displayed on the table.My head tilts to th

..What more does he knows about me?Does he see my sudden marriage proposal to him coming?"You really don't?"the cook asked, peering her eyes at me in a suspicious way.I coughed out. "Chicken soup isn't that bad too."She smiled. "Call me Vanessa."I nodded in her direction.All the Vanessa I've met in the past are all not - so - good persons but let's see how her own VANessa is...When I was done having breakfast,I ordered for a ride.Vanessa threw me a scarf as I made to leave the house."You forgot you aren't wearing a bra."she clicked her tongue.I looked down at my body and sighed.Tho,my bo*bs wrere small, but it was still pointing out. I have never cared about such details."Mr Winslow won't be very pleased if he sees you dressed like that. So, just put it on." Vanessa's words cuts through my thoughts as if she was reading my mind.I nodded before wrapping the scarf over my shoulder so that it flows down to my waist - it's quite a long one.I gave her my thanks before das

"Angela,can you please open this door? You haven't eaten anything and you need the strength."I heard Vanessa call out to me for the hundredth time.I heaved out a sigh and squirmed my lips.The pillow was thoroughly soaked with my tears."I'll drop the food here then. Even if you want to continue crying,at least get something to eat so you'll get energy to bring more tears out."I heard her say before she retreated.I palmed my face. I have to stop crying...I have to.I sniffed in, feeling coldness overwhelm my body and a terrible headache taking over control with it.My quiet sobs fills the room.I stayed like that for an hour. Just staring at the ceiling and tearing up like a kid.This was my side that dad loathes the more when he was still alive."Why do you always cry when you have more than enough power to get back at those who hurt you?!"his words resounded in my ears.He even thought maybe it was a disorder and took me to different doctors in different countries.It sounds ridi

"Does anyone have a wedding coming up soon with their spouse?" The bride's sudden question threw the hall into total silence. A white bird flew to the hall,and made a duck at the entrance then chirps before leaping up into the sky. The couples -to-be were standing at the altar and the priest had just read the vow to the wife but she asked that instead of saying "I do". A woman that was seated in one of the chairs in the front row gave her a look that threatens to break her bones if she doesn't quit her acting. Everything has been going on perfectly... The chest of the bride's moves up in her multi billion - dollar dress as she heaved out a deep breath. Her fragile fingers curled up into a soft fist. The priest casted her a look up from his glasses before looking back at the book in his hand,reading her the vow again. "Do you,Angela Wilson,promise to have and love this man as..." "Oh, priest..take a pause there."Angel's breath ruffles as she chuckled sadly. Her mother and s

(EVERY INCIDENTS AND WORDS ARE FICTITIOUS.‼️)"Well,uhm!"the priest cleared his throat loudly."According to the old testament,such person must be stoned,as it is an abomination, something barbaric, unaccepted,seen as vile,and vulgar! to have an intercourse with a woman you're still courting or hasn't married.In reference to the new testament,such - a person..."his eyes swept Daniel up in a single look."Shall not be stoned,nor judged, but a greater punishment awaits the person in the kingdom above."Angela cocked a smile."Oh, what's this?" "Isn't this supposed to be a rich daughter's wedding?""Beat me! This isn't wedding but a house of noise!"People exchanged derogatory words among themselves.Lena turns around and gave a snort,with blazing eyes,before poking her mother again."Don't just wait for her to finish ruining the name you and dad went through so much to build.

I heaved out a sigh,and glanced at Lena who was passing glares at me.Mother was once again in her void face..that satisfied me nevertheless. She only put that expression on when she has many things going in her head and doesn't want to give out the reaction the other side desired... she's so scheming!I smiled triumphantly before lacing my fingers over Miguel's.His well curved cherry lips births a smile..My heart was busy kicking my chest up and then,down....Gracious! I have never been this nervous.I didn't know if that smile was his goodwill or the other.My eyes grew large when I was pushed to his chest,swiftly.Damn,that was so fast!My heart began to move in an abnormal rate.I could almost feel it in my mouth.A loud gasps erupted from the audience. The back of his fingers grazed my left ear then he bent a little to whisper,"challenge accepted,doll." in my ears.Okay,that was so unsettling.His voice sounded coarse,and attracting.I pray I haven't done passed myself."Uh

Angela's pov. I,Angela Wilson,am here today to wed Mr Winslow, contrary to the name - Earnshaw you saw on the invitation letter." I announced boldly,my eyes glowing in determination. "What the fvck is she saying right now?"I heard Lena snapped in fury. "Have you gone banana? You shouldn't mess with Winslow,you know how it is - the news surrounding him. You just wanna badly destroy yourself,huh?"Daniel pulled me closer to his body. My heart hammered against my chest. I was reckless,I know,but this is the only opportunity I've got to change my fate. I could have just called the wedding off and leave but hell would be waiting to let loose for me. My only ray of hope - my eyes darted to the man that stared right back at me with an unreadable expression. Was he angry? Confused? Was he going to reject me? - oh Lord the embarrassment would be too much for me to handle if he actually does that. From what I've learnt about him, his greatest enemy is marriage. But I also heard he
