" Mother I need to speak with you " Olivia said mustering all the courage she has. " What is it dear ?" Her mother asked while preparing to close up the eatery ." Promise me you won't get upset with what I'm about to say " " Just tell me already olivia ..." Her mother paused what she was doing and stared at her daughter for answers. " Mum ....I ...uhm .... I'm dating someone " olivia replied and the mother chuckled .She knew her daughter was seeing someone ,the late night outings even though she always lies to her that she's going over to Matilda's house ." Why are you scared of telling me that ? You are old enough Olivia ....I was just waiting for you to introduce him to me " .Olivia smiled gently at her mother knowing the bombshell she's about to drop next is going to definitely annoy her mother ." He already proposed mum and we are getting married in two weeks ". She replied staring at her shock strikes mother.Olivia's mother bursted into laughter not sure how to react to
Christopher and Olivia pulled to a stop in front of Olivia's mother eatery ." Welcome sis " Robert greeted cheerfully smiling more cheerfully at the man beside his sister .He overheard his mom and sister talking about his sister getting married to a rich man and he definitely like this man that drove this latest car to their eatery ." Christopher ...this is my junior brother Robert ". Olivia introduced and Christopher stretched his hand to shake him ."Don't let me dirty your hand brother in law , I'm really pleased to meet you " Robert said happily not taking his hand." He is not your brother in-law so keep your mouth shut and go and attend to customers now !" Olivia's mum yell and Robert squeaked off like a child ." Mum " Olivia called but her mum ignored her and walked out ." I'm sorry about that " Olivia said turning to face Christopher who just stood there with a stoic expression ." It's fine " " She won't be back till night with the way she stormed out , I'm sorry you mi
" I can't believe my little daughter is getting married today ". Olivia's mum said staring at her beautifully dressed daughter. " Me too mum " Olivia replied feeling sad at the fact that she has to lie to her mother ." I wish you a happy married life my daughter .... I'm so happy you are getting married to the man of your dreams " .Olivia sighed gently as tears streamed down her face .For a while she felt like backing out of the marriage .What will happen after six months? The divorce will hurt a lot of people most especially her mother who also got divorced .But she cannot possibly go back on her promise to the stranger she's getting married to and afterall her dream of going to college is worth the pain ." Mum she'll be fine , let's not ruin her makeup " . Matilda answered." Ohh I'm really sorry ,I'll just leave you two alone " . Olivia's mum answered wiping her tears and she walked out of the bridal suite . " Tilda ....do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Olivia asked
A comfy car took Olivia and Christopher to their supposed honey moon house that Grandpa Andrews got for them .Olivia has always fantasized about her wedding night and this is totally the opposite , getting into a car with a stranger to an unknown place ? That has never been in her wildest imagination. The journey was silent ,it seems the two couple enjoyed their privacy and silence so no one spoke until they got to their destination. Olivia couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful the mansion looked ." Wow ....this place is so beautiful ". Olivia said breaking the dead silence.Christopher just shook his head at Olivia and led them into the house. Olivia giggled and marvelled at every beautiful thing they saw in the house ." This is where we depart ,your room is over there .." Christopher said pointing to the room opposite his ." And you should never come near mine " he continued and Olivia rolled her eyes at him .She thought they were friends now but judging from the way he'
Olivia rolled and rolled on her bed in boredom .It's her first night and first time in such a large room and big bed but she just couldn't bring herself to sleep .She rose up from the bed and checked the time on her cellphone .12 midnight! Christopher is probably asleep so she is free enough to look around the house until she feels sleeping .She tiptoed gently ,the lights were all switched off so she contemplated switching it on but that might wake him up so she decided to just walk around in darkness .She walked into the sitting room but stood frozen when she saw a figure sitting on the chair.A ghost ? Or is it a thief ? She tiptoed gently towards the chair and grabbed the person by the neck .Christopher grabbed the fragile hand that held neck and twisted it then he heard a little yelp of pain .He quickly rushed over to see Olivia crying with pain on the floor ." What the heck are you doing at this time ?" He yelled holding onto her her twisted hand blowing on it ." Wai
Christopher woke up wondering about what happened last night .He still doesn't understand what he did to upset her.He stood up gently from his bed and picked up his phone from the table beside his bed and dialled David's number ." Hey man ! Good morning ,how is the honeymoon going ?" David's always excited voice greeted but Christopher isn't just in the mood for his jokes .He needs to know why Olivia is mad at him and that's why he called ." She's mad at me " he replied ignoring his friend's greetings ." Who is mad at you ?" David asked confused ." Olivia ...." He replied and regretted it instantly ,he knows his friend is going to surely tease me about it ." You guys are having fights already ? Come on ,I taught you better than this Christopher Andrews ". David said mocking his friend who didn't miss out the sarcasm in his remark ." Stop joking around David ....I don't even know what I did to upset her ". Christopher replied surprising David who is so shocked at how desperat
" Sorry ...sorry ..." Olivia pleaded rushing up with her face flushing with embarrassment.Christopher stood up gently from the floor and smiled ." You got what you want ,are you happy now ?" " What I want ? What do you mean by that ?" Olivia asked and rolled her eyes at him shyly. " Kissing this handsome man in front of you " Christopher replied proudly making Olivia choke on her saliva .She can't possibly let him tease her and get away with it just like that so it's only right she says something in her own defense. " Kiss? Come on Christopher that wasn't a kiss we just bumped into each other " she replied swallowing how she originally feels about what happened. " What ?.... Bump into each other ? Really?" .Olivia threw him a fake smile and walked back into her room triumphantly .***********Two days later ........" Mum we are returning back home today "." Your honeymoon is over ? Isn't that too soon ?" ." Christopher has to return back to work tomorrow ,he has a lot a to
" What are you doing here ?" Christopher finally asked not sure how he's feeling." That's not a pleasant way to welcome someone you haven't seen for years chris .." Evelyn replied still clinging onto his clothes ." It's better you leave now Eve....." Christopher replied biting his tongue as the idea of calling her name after all these years gave him an eerie feeling." Why ? Why should I leave ?" She asked ." Because I'm ....."" He's married and we just came from our honeymoon and we won't be needing the presence of a stranger ". Olivia replied cutting Christopher off .She doesn't know who this godforsaken woman is but she knows they definitely won't get along .For these six months she'll have to play as Christopher's wife she might as well just play the role well.Evelyn scoffed at the remarks of this woman who stole her man .A stranger ? No ! " Chris do you really think I'm a ....." " You heard her ,we need our privacy and we don't want a stranger! to be around " .Evelyn
