Married to My Brother’s Best friend 127
“Please come in,” I say, looking up from my desk. The soft click of the door opening breaks the silence of my office, and Rita walks in, a sheepish look on her face as she makes her way towards me. Her hesitant steps echo slightly on the polished wooden floor, and I can’t help but notice the way her fingers fidget with the hem of her blouse. Ever since the court case, she’s been rather careful with her behavior towards me, mostly because she’s grateful that I didn’t fire her.Rita has always been a bright spark in the office, her laughter infectious and her creativity boundless. But the incident that led to the court case was a significant misstep—one that could have cost her not just her job but also her reputation in this industry. I remember the day vividly, the way the air had crackled with tension as we gathered in the conference room, the weight of the situation pressing down on us. Rita had made a mistake, a grave one, and it had taken every ounce of restraint not to let my fru

I walk into the restaurant, my red dress hugging my body and subtly highlighting my curves. On noticing me, one of the waiters walk towards me, a smile on his face as he approaches me, “Good evening ma’am, how may I serve you today?” He asks.I smile, “good evening” I reply, looking around as I try to find the private room myself. “I’m supposed to meeting my husband for a meal at one of your private rooms, his name is Clark Rique” I say, accepting defeat at my inability to identify one.He nods, pulling out his phone as he scrolls through the list of reservations, “ah, Mr and Mrs Rique, room A1” he says in acknowledgement before looking up at me. “This way ma’am” he says, leading me up the staircase.He pushes the door to the private room open, not stepping inside as he holds the door open for me, “thank you” I say, “are you sure this is the room he booked?” I ask, looking around in suprise at the rooms decoration.The room is filled with a sweet scent of flowers as it is decorated wi

Clark rises to his feet, so that we can hug properly, “thank you, it was long over due” he replies. I nod, “yeah it was, I’m just glad that the work burden on you will slightly reduce” I say, my eyes shining with satisfaction at the news.“Thanks babe” he says, placing a kiss on my cheeks before releasing me from his embrace. “So what’s the second one?” I ask, returning to my seat. He smiles, “the other news is something that’s long overdue. It something that I shoukd have told you from the start of our marriage” he says, his tone serious as he speaks.“Okay, what is it?” I ask, a bit of fear creeping in at what it could me but I maintain a smile as I refuse to let my fear to be evident on my face. “What I want to tell you is the reason why this room is arranged in this manner” he explains and I sigh in relief noting that it could only be something good.“Lara, I know our marriage was that of convenience from the very start. How we went from being enemies to being good friends. It’s f

“Lara” Clark nudges softly, “mmm” I mumble, turning to back him as I attempt to return to sleep. “Baby” he mutters, gently tapping me. “Mmm, what do you want?” I ask, half asleep and half wake.“You need to get up now” he says, his voice sounding urgent. “Why? What’s the time?” I ask, rubbing my eyes, as I make no attempt to move from the bed.“It’s 3am my love, but you need to get up. Lai and Belle are at the hospital” he explains, his voice sounding tired yet urgent. “At the hospital?” I ask, sitting up with a jolt, “why? What happened? Is everything fine?” I say, making an attempt to get off the bed.“Breathe” he says, wrapping his arms around me, “how can you be so calm? Your brother in law and his wife are currently at the hospital. We need to go now” I say, struggling to release myself from his embrace but he keeps his hold on me firm.“Breathe Lara” he instructs once more, “you can go in there panicking” he explains, running his hands down my back to calm her. I shake my head,

I smile, “thank you” I say, scooching closer to him before resting in his arms. “This is so much better” I mutter, my eyes closing as I attempt to sleep.***“We are here” Clark says, helping me sit up. I turn to look out if the windows and true to his word we have arrived at the hospital. “Oh that’s great, thanks for letting me lean on you” I say stretching as every iota of tiredness leaves my body.“Are you ready?” He asks, watching me with a sad smile on his face. “Ready?” I ask, laughing, “I’ve been waiting for this all my life” I say, with a chuckle.He shakes his head, “you’re so dramatic sometimes but that’s one of the reasons I love you” he says, extending his hand as he attempts to help me out of the car. My heart flutters at his words as I take his hand, stepping out of the car, “thank you” I say, with a smile.Clark and I walk briskly into the hospital, and after getting directions from one of the nurses at the front desk, we make our way quickly to the floor Belle and Lai

I nod, “totally understandable. If we could have children” I say, hypothetically waiting for his permission to go. He nods, “you can continue”.I smile, “if we could have children, I’d like to have twins so that I could have them once and for all” I say. He shakes his head, “isn’t that like double the pain, I’m not sure I could bear that”“I’m not sure if it’s double the pain but at least I’ll have my two children once and for all” I explain. “Even if I come around on having children, I think the pain that you might go through is what will hinder my decision”I shake my head, “no Clark, if you are ever open to having children then let me know. I’m willing to go through the pain and who knows it might be a painless birth” I reply.He nods, “I will”. I smile, “great, I wonder what they are having. I hope it’s a girl” I say, bubbling with excitement at the thought of holding my little niece in my arms.The room is filled with the cries of a new born baby. Clark and I look at each other i

Once I’m sitted, he carefully placed the sleeping baby in my arms. I gently cradle the baby, looking at her with so much love. My heart swells as I watch the child gently sleeping in my arms, “she’s so beautiful guys” I say, my heart feeling connected to the child.Belle smiles, “thank you. She gets her beautiful looks from her mama and papa” she says, chuckling. “Have you guys decided on what to name her” I say, looking up at them.Belle nods, “yes we have, why don’t you tell them babe” she says, turning to face Lai. “We have decided to name her Talulla” he says, a wide smile on his face.“Talulla has Gaelic origins and comes from the words tuile and flaith, which mean abundance and princess respectively” Belle explains. I nod, feeling intrigued by the name, “that’s absolutely beautiful. A beautiful name for an extremely gorgeous baby girl”.“Nice to meet you Tallula, I’m your aunty. My name is Lara, and we are going to have a fun time together” I say, looking down at the baby. “Come

It was a crisp Saturday morning when Clark and I decided to escape the city for a while. The sun was just starting to rise, casting a golden hue over everything, and I could feel the excitement bubbling inside me. "Are you ready for our adventure?" I asked, glancing over at Clark as he adjusted his backpack. "Absolutely! I've been looking forward to this all week," he replied, a wide grin spreading across his face. His enthusiasm was contagious, and I couldn’t help but smile back. We hopped into the car, the engine humming to life as we set off toward the countryside. As we drove, I watched the scenery change from the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene landscapes outside the city. "Look at that view, Lara!" Clark exclaimed, pointing towards a sprawling field dotted with wildflowers. I turned my head just in time to see a burst of color against the green backdrop. "It's beautiful," I said, feeling a sense of peace wash over me. "We should stop and take some pictures." Clark pu

As we dig into the meal, the aroma of the food fills the air, wrapping around us like a comforting blanket. The table is adorned with a colorful spread—fresh fruits glistening in the sunlight, a platter of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and golden-brown toast, all meticulously arranged to create a feast for the senses. I watch as he takes his first bite, his eyes lighting up in delight. “This is incredible,” he exclaims, savoring each mouthful as though it’s the best thing he’s ever tasted. I can’t help but smile at his enthusiasm; it’s moments like these that remind me of the joy of sharing a meal with someone special.We fall into a comfortable rhythm, the clinking of cutlery and the soft sounds of chewing filling the space between us. I take a moment to observe him, the way he enjoys his food, the little quirks that make him uniquely him. There’s something so endearing about the way he closes his eyes for a brief second as he savors the flavors, as if he’s trying to capture the mome

I smile, nestling deeper into his embrace, “what’s done is done, there’s nothing we can do about it now. And it’s not like you can fire her after all you went through to hire her” I say, sympathetically.He shakes his head, “right now, I’m thinking very much of firing her. She can’t go scot free with that sort of behaviour”. I smile, “no let it be Clark, I don’t want to leave you without help at the office. As long as this was a one time thing then I’m fine, let’s move on” He smiles, “you’re just too kind but I can see that your mood isn’t totally lifted. I shrug, wearing a tired smile, “I just feel trained after that conversation, why don’t you go ahead and have lunch without me. I’ll eat later” I say.He shakes his head, “no way, you came all the way to my office for us to eat together. So what can I do to lift your mood” he says, a mischievous smile on his face. “Letting me sleep” I chuckle, suddenly feeling very tired.“I’ll let you do that in due time, but please let’s have lun

“Afternoon Miss Denie, you require our assistance” one of them says. She nods, “yes please kindly escort this woman downstairs”. They both turn to face me, their eyes widening in shock, before returning their attention to her, “that’s Mr Clark’s wife, please excuse us” they say, before exiting the room.I watch as Denie remains immobile and speechless as she processes their words. I don’t bother getting up as I patiently wait for Clark’s arrival.In less than a minute, Clark walks into the room, concern evident on his face as he walks directly towards me. “You sounded upset, is everything fine my love?” He asks, crouching down as he takes my hand.I look behind him to see Debie’s eyes widen at her mistake. I shake my head, “not really. I closed work early to come suprise you with some food and drinks” I say, raising up the lunch bag for emphasis.“But I was met with insults and disrespectful t from your assistant. She wouldn’t even let me inside your office. To think she actually cal

I’m met by a woman who seems to be in her late 20’s. She is seated in Lai’s former desk. Her auburn hair drops over her shoulders, and her hazel eyes catch my attention. “Good afternoon” she says, rising to my feet, a surprised look on her face as she slowly assesses me.Feeling uncomfortable with being under her scrutiny, I mumble a quick greeting before walking towards Clark’s office. “I’m sorry you can’t go in there” she says, blocking my path.I look up at her, obviously surprised at her audacity, “excuse me” I say, trying hard to control my emotions. She gives me a smile, which is more of a mocking smile, “I’m sorry but you can’t see Mr Clark right now, you shouldn’t even be up here. I wonder who let you in here” she says, frustratedly running her hands through her hair.I chuckle, slightly moving backwards as she’s right in my face at the moment. I quietly assess her, wondering how to address the situation. I force my lips to form into a smile, “I don’t appreciate the tone that

Clark brushes a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle and reassuring. “We’re in this together, babe. No one can come between us,” he assures me, and I believe him. Our bond is unbreakable, forged through years of shared experiences, laughter, and even tears. I lean into him, feeling safe and secure in his arms.“Remember that time when we first met?” I ask, trying to lighten the mood. Clark grins, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. “How could I forget? You were so sassy, but you still managed to charm me with that confidence of yours,” he confesses, his voice filled with warmth. “Yeah, I can be quite sassy,” I admit, “but I didn’t know this side to you. You were definitely worth it.” Clark’s smile widens, and I can see the pride in his eyes. “And look where we are now,” he says, pulling me closer. “Married, happy, and in love. It’s a beautiful journey we’re on.”I nod, feeling a swell of gratitude for the life we’ve built together. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” I say e

Jordan coughs, obviously uncomfortable with being made the third wheel, “I think you guys would love to be alone, so I’ll just leave and catch up with the others” he says, attempting to rise to his feet.Clark shakes his head, “absolutely not, I honestly don’t mind your presence here. A friend of my wife is mine” he states. Jordan smiles, “thank you, but in all honesty I have some things to discuss with Lai. Please excuse me and it was nice meeting you Clark” he says, before walking away leaving Clark and I to ourselves.“Why were you alone with him?” Clark asks, studying me. I smile, “I wasn’t alone with him, I was basically in the open. I purposely discussed with him, where you could easily see us” I say, chuckling at his jealous display.He smiles, “well I don’t like the fact that he keeps hovering around you. You might not be able to see it but I can definitely tell that he like you” smh r says, drawing me closer to him.“How so?” I ask, my tone evidencing my surprise at his words

“So what have you been up to?” Jordan asks, as we settle down. I shrug, partially intrigued by his sudden interest in my life, “nothing much to be honest. Just the usual, handling my business and enjoying my married life” I say, with a smile as I dwell on my relationship with Clark.Jordan chuckles, “how’s that going? Last time I saw you guys, you were both heavily invested in an argument” he says, slightly leaning forward. I chuckle, “you know how couples are, we fight and we make up. It’s all part of the process of understanding each other and learning to understand each other's triggers and boundaries” I say, my gaze drifting to Clark who’s heavily invested in a conversation before returning my attention to Jordan. “So you guys are good?” He asks, suggestively. I nod, “we are more than good, I’m in love with that man” I say, my smile huge as I set my boundary. “What about you, how’s life going?” I ask, shifting the attention from me.He shrugs, “nothing much, except from the fact

“Heyy Belle” I say, running to give her a hug, almost tripping along the way. “Careful Lara” Clark yells after me. “How are you doing?” I ask, pulling her into a hug, before releasing her as I examine her face.She smiles, “I’m hardly getting sleep with Tululla’s sleeping schedule. But in all honesty everyday feels like a blessing to have my little girl in my arms” she states.I nod, totally understanding what she means, “what about Lai?” I ask, scanning the room for my brother. “He’s over there with your dad and mine,” she says, pointing towards a section of the backyard.“They must be giving him some stupid parent advice” I joke, noticing how serious their conversation is. “Heyy Belle” Clark says, embracing her with a hug, “how are you doing?” He asks, returning to my side.She chuckles, “your wife already asked that. Like I told her, I feel blessed” she says, a wide smile on her face and I can tell that this is the happiest she’s been since I’ve met her. Clark nods, “alright, let
