Taina POV

Maybe it’s all for the best if his attitude to me at work remains the same; people wouldn’t know we’re married.

At exactly 12:30pm; I rush to the coffee shop, Nek likes his coffee at exactly 12:45pm and he likes it hot. The coffee shop is just two minutes away from the office, the plan is to get the coffee and bagels and rush back to the office.

“Can I have two cups of coffee and 2 bagels” I barely make out in between breaths

“So the usual” the attendant says with a smile, as she goes to prepare my order.

Seeing how often I come here; it’d be unusual if my order wasn’t already noted down. "Thank you”, I grab my order and rush back to the office. Dashing back and forth between buildings must be one of the reasons I remained single while working with Nek- I'm sure I look crazy to others.

On my way into the office, someone bumps into me

“Ouch, can’t you see” I say while trying to gather my things from the floor, Thank God the coffee didn’t pour or I would have throttled who

    “Where have you been; I’ve been calling your line for the past 30 minutes. Did you expect me to leave my office and search for you at a random restaurant. My meeting is the next 30 minutes; get everything ready” Nek looks upset as he furiously glares at me.I can’t really understand what I did wrong; I’m entitled to a one hour break and seeing that I left a note I think I’m justified. Nek is unpredictable; sometimes he’s nice and sometimes he’s the devil himself.One think I’ve learnt about Nek in my 3 years of working with him is that he’d be mean to you, and expect you to take it with a smile and a cherry on top. But what can I do; it's not like I have another job with a better offer waiting for me somewhere.Nek glares at me as he patiently waits for my response, “yes sir, I’ll call Mr. Fad's secretary and inquire if he’s ready for the meeting. Would that be all?” I add, i have the urge to berate him for shouting at me, but I remember that I’m the employee here.Nek eases on the sc

    Nek POVFad has been my business partner for the past 3 years; our companies most times collaborates, especially during busy seasons. Fad’s company “The Enterprise’ is highly popular and successful; and with our collaboration, sales had skyrocketed. The meeting with Fad today was to discuss our new brand of products that we are planning on jointly releasing, the meeting lasted for about 4 hours, but Fad never noticed time had gone; in fact I was the one who had to draw the meeting to a close.I glance at the clock- 10:50; I didn’t realize it was that late, I shut down my system, gather my briefcase and move towards the door while switching off my office lights.Why’s Taina still here; it dawns on me that I’m the one that kept her waiting; she could just have asked me to let her go early since she knows our meetings never end on time. But I guess my attitude earlier wasn’t helping matters.She’s bent over, with her head resting on the table and her hands in her laps; she makes this cu

    Nek POVBy the time we get home; Taina’s had fallen asleep. I drive into the house noticing the Benz I gifted her; it has remained untouched since the incident with cete. To be honest I was a bit upset that she didn’t drive the car I gifted her; afterall the main purpose of the gift was for her to stop using the bus.But after our bits of conversation, I understand she’s just trying to keep things low key; her showing up with a Benz would only cause suspicions. Maybe I should increase her salary; that could help matters.“Taina”, I gently tap her; she rubs her eyes as she slowly takes note of her surroundings before her eyes finally land one me, “we’re home?” she sleepily asksI’m not big on placing sentimental attachment to houses; I have many houses all over Yula, I stay there as need arises. But when Taina refers to this place as home; it creates a warm fuzzy feeling in me, making me think about what could be if we give this marriage a chance.I’m attracted to Taina and I’ve grown

    Taina POVNek must be crazy if he thinks I’m going to accept another car from him; I know he’s rich but I think this is just crazy, buying me two cars in the span of 5 days. “No, you’re not getting me a new car; I appreciate the thought but I can’t take another car from you” I say with a very determined look on my face.I know Nek thinks I’m stubborn and hard headed; maybe I am, but Nek is crazy sometimes. I think he needs to get his head checked, I steal a glance at Nek patiently waiting for his response; he looks mad, like he’s about to tick, but all he says is “okay , can we go”I’m suprised by his response; I can tell from the way the conversation ended that this is not the end, he’s going to pursue this later on and I don’t intend on giving in. In the real world if we were actually a couple, would we actually work? We are always butting heads; I guess that’s what happens when you put people with similar personalities together, two people who’d rather die than surrender to the oth

    The aura feels different today than usual Mondays; Nek doesn’t glare at me, no rude comments, instead once in a while he smiles at me; and I’m obliged to return it, so as not to be rude. I’m a bit weirded out to be honest; but I would take this any day over his fury at work.The thought of Nek kissing me comes to mind which makes me blush; he kisses me at the most unexpected times, and I let him do so out of shock. I glance over at Nek and he’s vigorously typing on his computer; a moment ago he was busy shouting at one of the staff who had made a mistake in the company finance document draft; I felt bad for him, but I dare not interfere, lest Nek’s anger shifts to me and I’m caught in the loop.The business event is to be held today at 7pm; it is to be held at the magnificence, N'a prestigious hotel, one of Yila's most high class hotels. I’m usually responsible for such events that Nek holds thereby keeping me very busy throughout the day; but this year the job was delegated to Amelia

    One more interview to go and I’d be done here; and headed back to the office. Surprisingly Nek hasn’t called me or texted me; usually when I leave the office, I’m always bothered by calls for Nek asking me where the documents are.“Hello, my name is Sabrina” the last model says, pulling me out of my thoughts. I offer a smile at her and beckon to her to take a seat, “may we begin”; she nods and then I start with the questions.“If Nek wanted to have an affair with you what would you do” I question while looking seriously at her.She bites her lips nervously; but still answers the question with confidence, “I would turn him down, that’s not part of our agreement”. I nod and I'm about to ask the same series of questions I asked the former girls but I decide not to ; and ask a different question just in case they’ve shared questions with one another.“Let’s say you’re are in an enclosed area with one of the rich guests at the event; and he’s offering you a lot of money to be his mistress.

    At exactly 5:30pm, my phone rings; it’s an unknown number. I have no aversion to answering unknown numbers so I pick the call; while I simultaneously send out an email.“Hello”“Hi; this is Nicole your stylist. I’m waiting for you downstairs, so that we can begin”. I didn’t actually expect her to be exactly on time; I guess that’s why Nek pays good money.“Alright, I would be down in a minute”. Not wanting to keep her waiting; I finalize the email, grab my things and head downstairs.I see a red headed lady waving at me, I approach her; that might be Nicole. “Hi, im Nicole” she says, clearing my doubts about her identity.“Hello, nice to meet you” Nicole is very pretty; she has a slender figure and she’s quite tall and very stylish, offering credibility to her work as a stylist.“We’ll start with your hair”, she pulls me towards the vehicle and we head towards the salon. I can tell she’s excited cause she keeps tapping her foot; I keep wondering if this is her first time working with

    The room is filled with so many distinguished guests; I’m in awe as I peek behind the curtains, waiting for Nek and I to be announced to the guests. My parents rarely bring me to such events; they believed that I was not of age to be brought often to this kind of events. To be honest I can’t say I complain, coming to this kind of event requires a lot of energy, one which I didn't want to spare at those moments; I'd rather be curled up on my bed reading or writing, my two favorite things to do.The fear of my parents being here keeps passing as a fleeting thought; as I keep trying to shake it off. Inwardly I know they wouldn’t be here, not because they aren’t of such class; but because this time of the year my parents travel to my maternal home. But the fear they could show up at any time grips me, afterall anything can happen.Nek seems to notice how tense I’ve gotten; he places his hands on my shoulder, “don’t worry; I’ve got you, okay”; I smile at him grateful for the encouragement

    “Taina” Nek says softly, waking me up. “Yeah” I say, sleepily rubbing my eyes.“We have arrived at our parents' place” he says. “Oh” I say, sitting up, taking into view my environment. “It’s been a while since I was here” I say, coming down from the car.He smiles, “don’t worry, we’ll see them more often” he says, holding my hands with Taek on his other side.The maid opens the door, at the sound of the doorbell. A huge smile on her face at the sight of us, “they are at the lounging room” she says, before stepping away from the door.“Thank you” we say, walking past her and towards the lounging room. “Hi everyone” I say, waving as I walk into the room. I take time to respectfully greet my parents and Nek’s parents before returning to Nek’s side.Everyone has an enthusiastic look on their face as their eyes rover on me, I’m guessing they haven’t heard the reason why they’re there.“Who are the parents of this cute little boy” mom says, as she takes Taek from Nek.I smile, “it’s ours”

    The months that went by were fun, full of love and laughter. Nek showed up everyday without missing a single day, bearing flowers and gifts each time he came.He was always with Taek, almost as if he was trying to make up for lost time, which is completely understandable.Taek’s clocked one and Nek threw a massive birthday party for him, inviting my friends in Yuhic. I had wished that my family and friends in Yula would be able to make it but Nek explained that it wouldn't be a nice way to reveal the existence of our child, they’d be happy for us but also hurt and confused. So we decided to wait until we returned to Yula.Nek proposed to me at the end of the party, signifying that it’s a new start in our marriage and I gladly accepted as he’s the only man I want to be married to.Three months later“Are we going straight to your parents' place?” I ask, with Taek in my arms as we alight the plane. Nek takes Taek from me, noticing that I look uneasy, “are you okay?” He asks.I nod, “I’m

    I smile, “I love you too but you have to work for it. I forgiven you but I need to know that I can trust you. I need to know that the situation with Juris will never repeat itself again whether with Juris or with any other lady”.He nods, “I understand and I promise to put in the work”I smile, “you have to”. He nods, “can I ask a question?” He asks, looking a bit uneasy. I nod, “you can ask me anything”. He smiles, “who’s the guy that I met at the Excellence, is he your boyfriend?”I chuckle, “you mean David. David isn’t my boyfriend, he’s just a very good friend and besides, I wouldn’t let you kiss me if I had a boyfriend that’ll be cheating. And in the same manner, I can’t have a boyfriend if I’m married to you, if I do so, that’d be cheating”A look of relief washes over his face, “wait.. so that means… that means” he says, gently holding me by the shoulders.“What?” I ask, looking into his eyes. “Does that mean the child is mine, the little boy I greeted is our son” he asks, a s

    After a while, he stands to his feet and walks to his desk, pulling out a pile of tissue from its box. He gently dabs his eyes and blows his nose into the tissue, backing away from me so I can’t see him.The room remains silent, only the sound of his sobs filling the room. My heart goes out to him as I watch him cry, I want to walk over to him and embrace him in a hug telling him it’s okay and that I’ve forgiven him, but my legs don’t move as I remain fixed to my seat while I watch him dab his eyes.“I’m sorry” he chuckles, returning to the seat, “I guess it’s just pent up emotions for the past one year”. I smile, “it’s fine”.He shakes his head, “no it’s not, I chose my ex over our marriage, our relationship, our family. I literally embarrassed you in front of the staff and others by not upholding your honour”.He sniffles, “for the past nine months, I’ve been planning to see you. I wanted to apologise for my mistakes”“Two months with Juris revealed who she truly is, she is a gold d

    I walk into The Excellence, taking the first stairs, turning right; my heels clicking behind me. How I knew his office was not really a big deal, to others maybe, but to me no.I had taken a chance, The Excellence in Yuhic is built almost exactly like the one in Yula with few structural changes to fit in with the culture in Yuhic.I based off my judgment on that information, the worst that could go wrong is that I got lost and if that happened, I’d just call for help.My actions bring my movements to a halt as I stop at a door, there’s no plaque specifying what the room is, just like the one in Yula. Unlike the others which have a Plaque attached to this door, this one doesn’t. Nek didn’t want people to know he had an office here or that he was around, he said it caused too many unnecessary visits. And to be honest, I completely agree with the concept.I take a deep breath, pulling myself together before knocking on the door.“Please come in” I hear a voice on the other side of the r

    “Dear Taina BellosTrust this email meets you well. I’m writing to you, because I need to see you and sort out some facts that tie me to my past. I’d personally go over to your home, but we are not as close as we used to and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like that. I’d love it if we could meet at the Excellence hotel, in my office this evening at 4pm. My secretary will guide you at my arrival.P.S. I know it’s old fashioned to send you an email, but I don’t have your new number and I figured you’d still be using your old email.Warm RegardsNek Bellos”My heart flutters as I read the email. I've read the message over four times but every time I see the name Bellos attached to my name, I just can’t help but feel butterflies.The first thing I did after receiving the email, was to save it to my computer; just in case he rethinks his actions and retracts the mail.“Dear Taina Bellos” I mutter under my breath, reading the email once again. The feeling of giddiness overwhelming me as I re

    Taina’s POVI’ve been a nervous wreck for the past few days, I’ve anxiously been waiting for Nek’s call or from his secretary. Not that I wanted to receive a call, I assumed he’d want to know if the child is his, after all Taek bears a striking resemblance to Nek.I haven't had a single call, not even a text message. My heart feels less constricted and I can finally stop thinking about my next line of defence. I feel relieved but deep down in my heart, I’m a little anxious and worried that Nek could ask about Taek in the future. But I can’t live my life in worry, so I’ve decided to let things pan out; but one thing is sure, I’m not returning to The Excellence, especially not with Taek.“Good morning Taina” Isabella says, walking into the kitchen. “Good morning Isabella, how was your weekend?” I ask, a smile on my face as I embrace her in a hug.She smiles, “it was good, but I wish I didn’t miss the dinner at the Excellence with you all”. I nod, “well luckily, we’ll be doing it again

    Nek’s POV“Good evening sir” Clinton says, walking into my office, who is the manager of The Excellence located in Yuhic.“Good evening Clinton, how may I help you?” I ask, closing my laptop, and focusing my full attention on him. “Sorry to disturb you sir, but I wanted to inform you that your wife, Mrs Taina Bellos is currently at the restaurant”.My eyes instantly light up, “wife?” I ask, standing to my feet. He nods, “yes, your wife. She actually came some time ago”.I slowly nod, “and how do you know this person is actually my wife?” I ask, resting against my desk. “I’ve seen pictures of her in newspapers and in tabloids, so I could tell straight away that she was Mrs Bellos” he says.I smile, “alright, thank you for informing me. I’ll be downstairs in some minutes time” I say, fully believing that he knows Taina. He nods, “you’re welcome sir, I’ll be going now” he says, walking out of the office.My mind races as I think of Taina, my wife; the one that holds my heart. I slump int

    I gently shut the door to my room, with Taek sleeping soundly inside. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long” I say, walking into the lounge room.David smiles, “I don’t mind, is he sleeping now?” He asks. I nod, “he’s sleeping soundly, the crying in the car must have worn him out”.He nods, “to be honest I’ve never seen Taek cry like that, he’s usually a quiet baby so I was shocked to see him cry so loudly”. I nod, thinking the same thing; could it be that being separated from his father upset him.“He probably was just tired, making him extra cranky. And the broccoli situation didn’t help matters” I chuckle, in an attempt to calm the mood.He smiles, “maybe”.“So what do you want to know, you can ask me anything?” I say, sitting on the sofa. David nods, he looks deep in thought, almost like he is carefully constructing his questions.“Is Nek really your husband?” He asks, breaking the silence. I nod, “he is, he has no reason to lie about that. Nek is my husband and he’s Taek
