My alarm rings by 4:30pm, reminding Clark and I that we have 30 minutes to freshen up before conveying downstairs for dinner. “Clark” I say softly, gently tapping him.“Yeah, is it time to go?” He mumbles sleepily. I nod, “yeah, we have about thirty minutes to freshen up and get ready” I say, attempting to pull him up, though that doesn’t work.“I’m up” he chuckles, sitting up. “Do you want to take a shower, I already did?” I ask, packing my hair in a bun. He nods, “yeah, a cold shower will do me good at the moment” he says, standing to his feet.“You’re wearing the black gown I chose, you look good” he comments, before entering the bathroom.Clark exits the bathroom wearing a black top paired with white shorts, “that was quick” I say, turning to face him. He smiles, “I just needed to take a shower, nothing much”.“You really meant it when you said we were going to match throughout this outing” I chuckle, shaking my head. He chuckles, “it’s something I’ve always wanted to do with my w

“Alice” I call out from my office in extreme pain while clutching my stomach. “Yes Lara, you called?” She says, walking into the room.“Are you fine?” She asks, running towards me. I shake my head, “not really, I feel like throwing up and I’m experiencing terrible stomach pain” I say, still clutching my stomach.“Can you ask my driver to bring the car to the entrance and also cancel my meetings for the rest of the day” I say. She nods, “noted, I’m on it” she says, running out of the room to inform the driver.“He’s ready with the car parked at the entrance” she says, rushing into my office. “Thanks” I say, faltering as I stand to my feet. “Do I need to call the doctor to give you a visit at home?” she asks worriedly, as she holds onto me to keep me stable.I shake my head, “I’m fine, I probably just need to get some rest” I reply with a weak smile. She nods, “I’ll hold you till you get to your car” she says, holding on to me.I shake my head, “I might not feel good, but I’m pretty sur

“The results from the tests we ran show that you have appendicitis” the doctor says, as Clark clutches my hand, softly squeezing my hand with his attention fixated on the doctor.“We have scheduled your surgery for tomorrow afternoon by one pm. You won’t be able to eat any type of food during that time, but we’ll give you drips that’ll keep you strong and fed” he explains.“We’ve also given you some drugs to help reduce the pain. There’s a button on the bed handle that you can press whenever you seek assistance” he says, pointing to a red button on the handle of my bed.“Mr Clark, please could you come with me to sign some paperwork?” The doctor asks. Clark nods, “I’ll be back very soon” he says, placing a kiss on my head before leaving with the doctor.True to his word, Clark returns to the room in twenty minutes time. “Are you feeling better?” He asks, settling on the chair by my bedside. I nod, “I’m feeling way better than before” I respond, smiling weakly as I turn to face him.“P

“Hey baby girl” mom says, running her hands through my hair. “How long have I been asleep?” I ask, searching the room for Clark, “and where’s Clark?”She smiles, “you have been sleeping for six hours since the surgery was done. Clark went to sort some things at the office, he’ll be back soon” she says.“How are you feeling?” She asks, I smile, “better than before and grateful that the surgery was successful” I say, gently squeezing her hands.“Hi darling” I hear Jane say as mum steps away to reveal Jane holding a bouquet of flowers. “This is for you” she says, arranging the flowers in a vase before coming to give me a hug.“You gave us quite a scare but I’m glad you’re doing better. The doctor says you’ll be able to go home in about two days if you recuperate well” she says.I smile, “thank you very much for coming and thank you even more for the flowers. They are very lovely” I say. “Of course, anything for my daughter in law” she says, placing a kiss on my cheeks.“When can I switch

“I can’t believe three months have gone by” Clark says, smiling as he drives to my family home. I nod, “I can’t believe that we’ve been married for roughly four months. It definitely doesn’t feel that way” I say.He chuckles, “that’s definitely because I’m the easiest person to live with” he says. “Of course you are” I reply with a subtle sarcastic tone.“And what’s more exciting is that today is Lai’s wedding. You know my mom is completely over the moon. She finally has her two children married and well settled in their individual homes” I say.“It was so shocking when he told me he proposed to her, after all they only dated for about two months” Clark says, his eyes fixed on the road as he speaks.I smile, “we are definitely not in any capacity to judge them after all we didn’t even date before getting married. I didn’t know anything about your preferences and dislikes and you didn’t know mine” I say.He nods, “yeah you’re right, and it worked out just fine. But I still wished they

I watch as Lai kisses his bride as the officiant declares them husband and wife. “Congratulations brother” Clark says, embracing Lai, “happy married life” he says.“Congratulations brother” I say, pulling him into a hug, “make sure you treat Belle like the queen she is” I whisper in his ears. He nods, “I will treat her no less” he replies, “good” I say, lightly punching him on his arm before turning my attention to Belle.“Congratulations Belle, I’m so happy for you. I wish you both a happy marriage and a home filled with love” I say, embracing her. She smiles, “thank you Lara, maybe our children will be the same age and get to be playmates”.“Yeah” I respond dryly, remembering Clark’s stand on having children. “Let’s not keep you any longer, I’m sure the other guests want to congratulate you” Clark says, escorting me back to our seats.“What’s wrong?” He asks, “nothing, I’m fine” I say, forcing a smile. He shakes his head, “we’ve been married for a while now and I can definitely tell

“What is going on here?” Clark asks, “Why are you here with him?” He asks, clearly upset. I can tell from his tone that he's not letting out half of his anger towards me.“Oh hi Clark” I say, standing to my feet, “this is Jordan, a friend of mine” I say, introducing them. “Nice to meet you” Jordan says, extending his hands.“That doesn’t answer my question” Clark says, ignoring Jordan’s hands. “It wasn’t planned. I heard someone crying and I came to check it out. Coincidentally it turned out to be Lara, I’ll give you both some space to talk” he says.“Bye Lara” he says, walking away, “bye, thanks for this evening” I say, before returning my attention to Clark. “You’re angry” I say, watching him closely, “what makes you think that” he replies, folding his arms across his chest.I wince, “your tone and body language show that your are angry even though you’re trying so hard not to show it” I reply, sitting on the bench. “And do I have a good reason to be?” He asks, calmly watching me.I

A month has passed by and things have been really peaceful between Clark and I. We have fallen into a routine and quickly adapted to each other without peering too much into each other's life but still ensuring that we show care for each other.It's Friday and it’s Lai’s birthday. We are celebrating at the LaiLa Hotel named after Lai and I which was recently built by my parents. My parents have decided to expand their business by going beyond the online gaming industry and diving into the hotel management business.This development led to Lai handing in his resignation letter due to my parents' pressure. As the only son, my traditional parents believe that it’s time for him to run the company that will be handed over to him, which is why I’m glad I started my business long ago.Thankfully Lai won’t be leaving immediately as he has given Clark a two months resignation notice, giving Clark sufficient time to hire a new personal assistant depending on how finicky he is.I head down to Cl

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
