I turn around to Aaron, overwhelmed by an exasperated sensation. He shrugged his shoulders implying that did nothing erroneous. I badly wanted to lash out at him with the way he wasted the fish and the nonsense he mixed in the name of making food. He littered the whole space. This man is a grown-ass adult. His behaviour makes me think otherwise. "I was too famished and I couldn't wait any longer." he endeavored to elucidate, skimming his eyes everywhere but me. "You just messaged me a while ago, and it hasn't been close to thirty minutes from now. Nonetheless, you don't look too hungry." I retort lazily, surveying his face. "It's no big deal, Allie. We could just clean this up together. Not much of a mess" he says dumbing the fish into the bin. His words caused my muscles to tense. "No big deal!? And did you just say together?" I grit out. My sudden reaction made his eyebrows crease in confusion. It's obvious he is ignorant about what he just did. "Woooh woooh, calm down woman.
Allie's POV I shook a bit but braved up to proceed with what I'm doing. It was time to add the salt, I shuffled among the ingredients and found out it was not among them. I carefully checked the drawers but I couldn't find the big jar of salt. I climbed a stool and inspected the cupboard one after the other except the one Aaron was backing. I am sure I kept it with other sealed seasonings. He must have misplaced it somewhere. I thought about biting on my fingers. I stared at Aaron caressing my hands nervously on the counter. "Aaron," I called, nibbling on my lips. "I need to check that cabinet behind you. Your meal wouldn't be tasty without salt" I continued, filling him with the prerogative of that salt in his food. "Come and take it, woman, I'm not stopping you," he said plainly, his head still on in its bowed position. Does his neck not hurt? "Yes, you are stopping me" I grumbled, and grunted tremendously, swabbing my leg impatiently. He raises his head gazing at me innocen
Allie's POV Friday evening: I was edgy, anxious and committed to dressing to impress my date partner, Austin. I sought Layla's aid and we went out dress shopping on Wednesday which was coincidentally our day off. I also purchased a new make-up set, handbag and heels. I still have second thoughts about the black extra gown Aaron got me or the ones I bought. I didn't show Layla the gown though. Basically, she came to the mansion which lent us the opportunity to have our ladies' time. All the time we were inside, I was inwardly praying that Aaron doesn't show up. Everything is set, I'm only waiting for the morning to rise. I missed my Austin a lot and I will do anything to go on this date. Happiness mixed with nervousness. My phone rings, and the caption on the screen shows Mum. I hurriedly picked up the call as it had been a while since we chitchatted. "Hi, Mum""Allie, My hubby just recovered!" she exclaimed joyously. The best news ever. "Oh my! Thank God!" I screamed happily.
Allie's Pov My cheeks flushed in a shade of red at Aaron's outburst. I gazed at Richard to observe his reaction to the situation at hand, but his emotions seemed to be clueless as his facade was overshadowed by an undescribed expression. I chose to be mute after vowing to get back at Aaron later. I am not letting this one slide away. Pervert. ***** We parked at the restaurant's car junction. A uniform-clothed man approached us and led us inside. I was more amazed by the inner construction. My admiration was cut short when I sighted Austin in his sitting position at the far end of the building. Apparently, there were no other customers which means he had rented out the whole place. I waved back at him, to acknowledge him of my arrival. "Hi," I greeted, settling myself on the chair. "Hi, how was your drive here? You are used to the journey anyways," he said warmly, slightly shrugging his shoulders as his eyes glowed from his bright smile. "It was great. Aside from that, my re
Allie's POVI gazed at him sceptically. I had wished but didn't predict it sooner. I wasn't as bewildered as I had visualized. My dream is to be his. It was coming true. My mind was pleading and screaming to play hard to get, to mention to him to give me some time to think. But my reply slips out of my tongue unknowingly. "I will be your girlfriend"I breathed in relief and I felt washed by the feeling that I was now taken. I was Austin's. Not that I hadn't dated in my twenty-five years on earth. I had gone on a date thrice but it was more of wanting not to be left out in the squad of couples. This was the first relationship I would say I looked up to. I wanted, I wished for. Although, it felt like something was missing. He brought out a love necklace from a box. He stood up two steps closer, he unclasped the chain on my neck and replaced it with his. He strained his neck and smooched my opened chest where the pendant lies. My heart swells at his romantic gesture. "It's a couple

Allie's POV There was an unusual awkward muteness after Aaron left. I exhaustively supervised Mrs Smith as she tries to use body language to denote a message to her husband whose mind comes off to be in his own realm. "Congratulations, Allie," Mr Smith said profoundly. He consciously inflates his eyes to meet mine with a soft smile. "To be honest, I had invariably hoped you would admit things like this to us. It kinda elaborates how habitable you are around us." he divulged, gaping at me passionately. His words warmth my heart, but his expression earlier was far unpredictable for this to be his trepidation. I skimmed at him intensely, he definitely has a hidden reason. He glanced back at me, eyebrows stretched in query for my response to his statement. When he detected I wasn't trying to let out any reply, he said, "Allie, I. sincerely desire happy life for you. Although, I was kinda worried during your teenage years and premature twenties. '' he hung back, but his sta
Allie's POV "I will be with Aaron," Mrs Smith says, leaving me to dwell in anticipation for the sudden private dialogue. "Allie, " he called."You don't need to continue with the deal anymore" he announced, resting his back on the comforting chair. "Why?" I asked, obviously dissatisfied by the declaration. Even though it would be a weight relief, I have a misconception about this. Why all of a sudden when I think I can have hope? I'm comfortable with Aaron now I guess, and the one I could lure him to date if possible is set. "Because you now have your responsibility upon your own life Allie. I had brought it up because I thought you were the right one to push him up to it. I should have considered your personal life too. Let's cut it here" he briefed me on his reasons without me asking. Like seriously? because I'm now dating doesn't hold me to be against my task. This is ridiculous. "What if I say I want to proceed with the deal? I'm not complaining. You lay it down
Five years later~~~~~~ Allie's POV"Oh mummy, it seems I will be going with the James family." My little girl, Kylie announced impatiently in her tiny voice as she walked into the room. Aaron and I quickly feigned alright. We hurriedly separated from each other and I shoved my gown down. "Wait for me, honey. Just a few more minutes" I appealed and sauntered towards the mirror to redo my smooched make-up. "Try to understand me, mummy. If I have to wait for the third time for you to retouch your makeup…, then I will surely be replaced and all my effort will be in vain." She pointed out smartly. I sigh and honed an accusing stare at Aaron. He winked and shrugged his shoulders. "Mummy understands you. Therefore, you can go with the James family, baby. Also, let Jeff (the chauffeur)escort you. I will wait for mummy while she redo her makeup and of course, mummy and I will meet you at the reception my little bride " Aaron urged and I could see a haunting smirk on his face immediately
Allie's POV I flinched at a screeching loud voice and flickered my pudgy eyes severely to adapt to my surroundings. Weak is an understatement for my condition. I shook my head and eventually snapped my eyes open to meet different eyes watching me. One was that of a doctor who was relieved from my awakening, another was Mr Smith who had an edgy expression and the last was Mrs Smith who looked evidently agitated and gloomy. Her face indicates that she had been crying for as long as I could presume. The doctor came to my aid in a sitting position. I hung my head down and clasped my hands together if I could recall my last moment and it began to make insight. Aaron? Kiara? The media? I began to flutter and my eyes pricked unbearably. A banging head and a tough headache. I stared at Mrs Smith who had begun to sob again. "Dad, what do… we.. do?" I solicited desperately with a cracked voice. "Did you just we?!" Mrs Smith denounced. "How dare you? How could you do something like that
Allie's POV Aaron was quiet for a while before answering "Her dead body was taken by her father immediately. He didn't wait for her to be properly taken care of at the hospital. He rambled about the death of his precious daughter whom he evidently doesn't love. Father used his money to shun so many people including Kiara's father. Kiara's father's location was unknown but he did demand the majority of my father's fortune for three years. I was at home in seclusion for those three years and I didn't graduate nor finish up my entrance exams to gain admission into college. I watched the downfall of my father's adored fashion company. A ruination and doom that was caused by me"I let Aaron transfer his emotions into his words. It was a good sign for his mental health as he is spewing what has been in secrecy in his heart for years."When father totally went off without money, Kiara's father ceased asking and disappeared with no traces to date. The rumours had been forgotten with excess
Allie's POV The tape shows a female and a male high-school student in a superheated brawl. The guy whom I could single out as Aaron, and the anonymous lady whose face isn't much noticeable but she kept wiping her face which I assume was soggy from sobbing. She was propelling Aaron back like forcefully attempting to say something but he was evidently outrageously infuriated which made him continuously push her for him to walk away. It went on like that till he shoved her with extensive pressure. She inches far and hit her head on a sharp abandoned iron. It resulted in her having a heavy flow of blood from her forehead. Aaron proceeded forward and suddenly halted when he noticed her situation. He hit his hand on a button angrily and probably cussed. The force on the regulator caused dust to overshadow the place. It was like it was compressed in a cylinder and the button was the regulator fixed up on the wall. Bizarre, equivocal and questionable. He spared a glance at her, said some
Allie's POV Aaron walked towards me with a bright smile and gently placed the covered breakfast on the medium sized eating table. He then leaned his knee into the bed and peck my forehead. "How was your night?" he asked softly and caressed my shoulder. "It was fine and yours?" "Never had a more pleasing night" he grinned. "The bed… she.. et? " I stuttered. "I cleaned you off while you were asleep" he said and I breathed in relief. Gosh! I got the best hubby. "Your face looks disturbed. Is everything alright?" he asked, his eyebrows crinkled in concern. "I'm feeling sore and weak" I replied and he sank on the bed beside me and tug me in his muscular arms. I pushed my phone away from me and adjusted comfortably in his arms. "It's because it's your first, give it some time I love you" he murmured and massaged my arms. Sincerely, I'm scared of saying anything maintaining this threat to him with the assumption that he might think I am doubting his love for me even when we
Allie's POV I nodded in response and pointed to the Mercedes Benz. "Make sure you wear that seductive material. You need to make that fella groan desperately in pleasure, make him beg. Geez, show him what you got. You know what I mean" she smirked "Make him scream your fucking name while he cums, remember all those styles and positions I thought you. You can message me if you forget" she muttered with a smug expression. My face turned scarlet as I turned to stare at Alvize and Aaron hoping they didn't hear what she had said. "What if someone hears" I tried to keep my voice low. "Well…" "Lily let's go," Alvize called and tugged at her hand. He winked at me and veered around leaving me with Aaron."The chauffeur will take us to the airport tomorrow morning. Dad made preparations for Dubai without telling me. I had tried to convince him that you don't want to go outside the country for the honeymoon but he insisted and said it is your dream city" Aaron explained and played with the
Allie's POV Three weeks later~~~~I stared at myself through the enormously large mirror opposite me, while the senior designer assisted with the trims and hems of my gorgeous wedding frock. It was the most beautiful nuptial dress I have ever laid my eyes on. It was epitomized with plenitudes of tiny bits of crystals which were handmade arranged on it. I overheard from one of the assigned fashion designers that it had been in the making for months even before my wedding was planned but it hadn't been on sale.Apparently, Aaron had hired a whole team of beauty and fashion companies to make the matrimony arrangement regarding my wedding and pre-wedding dresses and make-up. I could recall how delighted the assigned designers were when I said I loved the dress. They had been nervous about the outcome of things mainly because Aaron is their customer. Aside from not wanting to dismiss their hard work, I had fallen in love with the gown at first sight. The weeks had been a bit frenzied as
Allie's POV "I will take the plunge with you" I breathed and pulled him to stand on his foot. His brows furrowed in disarray and a blend of apprehension. I was pulling his legs and he fell for it. It was just an unusual grammar for a positive response in this type of situation. "I mean yes I will marry you. I accept to stay by your side for the rest of my life…" Aaron's legs teetered and his face lit in aghast. He was already sweating profusely, all races of emotions displayed on his face. I nodded my head in confirmation of my response and at a speed, he lifted me in his arms so tightly that my stomach churned tremendously. "Thank you for giving me the chance, baby. You just gave me a memorable birthday. Fuck. Oh sorry about my language. I love you" he appreciated in a whisper tone and a rush. He raised me again and he shouted to the extent that his veins were popping out of his flesh. "She said yes!" Jubilations and congratulations erupted and blasted through the r
Allie's POV "I love her and I would even prefer that but wouldn't that be too early? Wh...at if she rejects me?" I heard his voice quiver in doubt. I lessened my sight and watched him as he promenades out of the room. After rolling on the bed several times, I got up to shower, wore a simple gown and strolled out of the room. I walked up to Aaron whose back was to me while leaning at the kitchen entrance. He yanked out of my hold in fear and it resulted in damage to his phone screen as it shattered on the tiled floor. "Oh no" I muttered and attempted to pick up the remaining part of the phone but Aaron breathed out in relief when he realized I was the one and he held my hand from taking it. "Let it be, it will be taken care of," he said. "I'm sorry but why did you react that way?" I asked. "Nothing." he replied and brushed his lips against mine "Good morning, sweetie. How was your night?" "It was great," I smiled. He led us towards the dining room. I noticed Aaron's behaviou
