Chapter 4: The Holland Mansion
Last Updated:
2024-07-10 21:09:29How well do you know the Holland family? I asked Bryan on our way to the hospital to see Dad.
“We have been business partners for a while… he is a very nice and polite man you’ve met him before during the dinner remember.” Yes, I remember but am I getting married to an old man?
Bryan looked at my face and asked what the problem was and all of a sudden he started laughing hard, “Do you think you are getting married to the grandfather.”
Curiosity was written all over my face… Bryan eventually stopped laughing and said “Mr. Holland has a grandson but he is someone people regard as invisible his sister Grace is the one everyone knows. She even comes for business meetings with her grandfather”
I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding “So I am getting married to the invisible Mr. Holland”
“Yes, you can say that… I have a business meeting with the visible Mr. Holland you should come with me. Although I have never seen your future. Husband. Mr. Holland assured me that he is of good behavior and he will treat you right.” Bryan said
“Consider this a win-win situation” he continued.
How?
“This way the company will be out of bankruptcy, I can pay for Dad's medical bills and you can finally be out of the house with those two people you consider evil and I will be sure of your safety” I was in tears that Bryan loved me this much.
After the meeting at the Holland mansion, a date for the wedding was set.
I went to the Holland mansion a couple of times for the wedding planning but I never for once met my future husband.
I had a meeting with Grace, I got to the mansion she wasn’t home yet so I decided to wait in the garden instead so I could feel the fresh atmosphere.
As I sat on the beautiful wooden chair I could feel an awkward presence I looked around and no one was there.
“Grace, Grace is that you?” no one answered.
Although the atmosphere was beautiful the awkward feeling I was having was too uncomfortable. As I stood up to leave my eyes looked up and I saw someone staring at me.
Although there was a distance I could feel goosebumps all over my body so I quickly broke the stare in rushed back into the living room.
Grace was just coming into the house when I was stepping into the living room… we had some biscuits and juice while talking about the wedding.
It was getting dark so I decided to go but I stopped to use the little lady's room and as soon as I was stepping out the lights went out the corridor was very dark and I didn’t have my phone on me.
Suddenly I felt a presence and then I heard clearly “You better decline this marriage or I will make your life as dark as this corridor” I suddenly felt so cold and very scared.
The lights suddenly came on and I hurried to get my bag and out the door. I waited outside for my taxi and I still felt that uncomfortable stare.

With all his wedding preparation I almost had work I had work, I worked at a small homely café and I knew almost all our customers cause like I said it was a small place.I got in a few minutes to my shift and went to the back to get ready.As soon as my shift started I had customers at my table already, I was taking an order for a customer when the manager called on me and asked that I serve a table that wasn’t mine. When I tried to ask why he screamed at me so much that it got the attention of the whole café.“Yes sir” I replied quickly and hurriedly left his presence.“Sir what would you like to have,” I asked the customer still a little teary.He didn’t even raise his head or remove his face cap, he stretched his hand and I gave him the menu.“Do you expect me to read anything on this wet piece of paper?” he asked arrogantlyI wanted to reply but that voice sounded so familiar. I picked up the paper from where he threw it and saw that it was wet.After he placed an order for a cup

“You need to get married now” Shock! That’s all I felt.“What do you mean now?” I asked confused.“Look your invisible husband has suddenly become visible and he wants the wedding today” he repliedI went to sit on the pavement confused… I started feeling dizzy and seeing Bryan pacing was not helping so I had to sit to catch my breath.“That’s not possible. How is that even possible?” I started thinking out loud.“He said the wedding is today or the deal is off and that makes the contract useless” Bryan was already agitated.“Can I please speak to him?” I asked Bryan“I am afraid you can’t”“Why?” because he sent this letter.I read the letter and I was back on the pavement in tears. It was either marrying him now or we lose the deal completely.“What time do we have to get there?” shiit we are late fast get readyWe both ran into the house but to our surprise Hailey and her mother were already dressed for the occasion. With no time to wait, I sprinted up the stairs and got ready as f

“What the hell is going on here?”With that, everyone turned to look at me. I was so surprised to see what was going on but I didn’t put it past them because, with the evil twins, anything is possible.So when I left the hospital I went straight home to pack my things because Big H called and informed me that he would send a car at noon to pick me up. I left the hospital after speaking to the doctor and as soon as I got home I went straight to the garage to pick up my boxes but to my surprise, my stepmother and her vicious daughter had started a yard sale and they were selling out all my stuff.“Who does a yard sale in such an environment?” I had to ask who was more stupid to come up with the idea.We lived in one of the finest estates in the city, so I'm wondering which of the two evil sisters came up with such a stupid idea as a garage sale. While all this was still in my thought.The more foolish one said“There’s a first time for everything,” I turned to look at those who had boug

The drive to the Holland mansion was quiet and as soon as the car was parked Big H was there to welcome me properly. When I got there was lunchtime time so he said to have lunch first before he took me on a tour of the mansion.“We didn’t know what you liked so I asked them to make everything a lady likes” That was his reply to my reaction when I saw the dining table. The food was so much that we could eat it for 2 weeks without making anything new.After dinner, he took me around the mansion as promised. He showed me the west wing which was his side of the mansion and then he got tired. So we sat at the office in his wing and then he started showing me pictures and then I asked a strange question“What is my husband’s first name?” Grandpa looked at me with so much surprise“What do you mean by that love?” He asked still having a surprise look on his faceI became confused and Grandpa asked, “he didn’t tell you his name when you guys met but you told him yours, why?”Met where…when? t

Just like that the trans was brokenI turned around to see Grace staring at me with a raised eyebrow and a questioning look on her face...“so, whats going on?”I felt so ashamed that I reacted in such a manner.I adjusted myself and cleared my throat to talk.“hmm, nothing,” I said looking down“So why are you hear at this time, looking lost.”I was very confused about what to say, Just as I was about to say the nonsense in my head I quickly spotted my bottle on the table.“I came to get water” and with that, I ran off saying the quickest “good night” ever.I quickly entered my room and shut the door.My back rested on the door, and my heart was racing fast. It took a while to calm down and then I walked to my bed.I sat in the middle of my bed tired… feeling unknown heat all over my body.I stretched my hands to carry my bottle of water, I slid the lid to the side and bent it but nothing came out that was when I opened the bottle and all I could say was“Ohh shiit!”I didn't even ge

It just feels like I am some bad luck always waiting to happen.The knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts “Come in”“Good morning Amelia, I came to check on you”“Check on me? What’s the time?”“It’s almost noon and you didn’t come down for breakfast, don’t worry I brought you something to eat but Grandpa has been asking your whereabouts since morning”“I didn’t know what the time says I’ll get ready and be out soon” She had such a sad look on her face for me.Lizzy put her hand on my shoulder and stopped me from getting out of bed “Relax Amelia, Grace told me what happened at the hospital”I automatically had tears in my eyes “I acted paranoid, and he laughed at me” The tears were already streaming down my face.“No you didn’t act p

Hello Grace are you there” she wasn’t saying anything I wondered why. I ended the call and dialed again.“Hello Grace” Hello Damien is that you” “What sort of question is that, you called me 2 hours ago but I missed the call thanks to Lucas? How did the meeting go?”“Where are you Damien, because this shit is confusing the life out of me?”She was also confusing the life out of me “I’m out with Lucas”If you are out, who is in the theater now?”My battery died so I went to look for where to charge up a little.

I was confused as to what she meant by “that’s my husband.”I immediately followed the stretcher; and tried asking the nurses and doctors questions but no one paid me no attention. When we got to the theater I tried to go in but the nurse blocked my passage.“You can’t go in ma’am “ But that’s my husband I have to go in”Ma’am the doctors have limited time to save the patient’s life, you have to wait till he’s in the clear”Are you sure he will be okay?”Ma’am, we have to wait for the doctors to come out of the theater, but for now, I advise you to call all his other available family members” She walked away.I felt so helpless; I took out my phone and called the only person on my mind.“Hello Bryan, I can’t do anything he’s in the theater and in here doing nothing, they won’t allow me to go in…” I kept rambling until my phone was snatched from my hand.“Why Lizzy I was telling him the problem”No, you were not, you were only speaking about how useless you
Married to the Invisible Mr. Holland Chapter 17: The Supermarket
The mall wasn’t so busy because it was a weekday; we headed straight to the supermarket because Lizzy had a lot on her list.“Here take this, and shop for everything, I'll use this to shop from the other side” I turned to begin my task.“Amelia, please mind the quantity and brands, it’s essential” I just gave her a nod.I picked a trolley and began the supermarket search. I moved through the iles carefully so I didn’t miss anything. As I looked through the list I wondered who ate some of these things because they have not cooked meals with some of the ingredients on the list since I have been in that house.As I moved on picking items and putting them in the trolley, of course looking at the brands carefully, I noticed that my trolley was already full “what is Lizzy even shopping for if my basket is this full” I was just wondering. I signaled to the bodyguard who came with us to come over.I asked him to get me another trolley and a basket I’ll use to buy school-related items that I’l

I woke up the following morning feeling very relaxed and refreshed, I was surprised to see myself on the bed though I remember sleeping off on the couch I didn’t want to do too much on the first day, thank God he brought me to bed I would have had sever body ache in the morning. I looked around the room but didn’t see Damien anywhere in sight; the room was still dark so where would he have gone to? Did he even sleep in the room at all? I laid in bed thinking about my husband I'm glad I got to finally see his face, now my mind is at ease about his looks.“come in” Who is that disturbing my beautiful thoughts, I whispered to myself.Lucas came in to view “Lucas what are you doing here Damien is not here”I know that ma, but he asked that I take you back to the main house before he left”“Left, what time is it?” “It is 10:47 am ma”“10:4 what!

I stood there face to face with my wife, and I must say she is quite a beauty just as Grandpa described her. It wasn’t my intention to stay away from her or be invisible but I thought it best since the accident 10 years ago.I'm sure she is wondering what I'm doing at home and in sight all of a sudden. Well, I got word when Jasmine got back to the country after serving her jail time I knew she was going to come straight to my house.So I told Lucas to get the guys ready but I got held up by a little issue so Jasmine got to the mansion before I did. I know she won't do any harm because only I have the one secret that can crush her forever. I just wanted to show her that she had no place here anymore.Her bad character does not fit the one that Mrs Holland should have. I can't believe I used to be in love with such a person, but Amelia has the sort of Holland woman character but she doesn't have the charisma yet I know Grace will do a good job of building the charisma her stepmother and

“How dare you hit a staff in my house?”I ask again, how dare you.”Are you normal, you dare hit her and right before my grandfather”My hearing got heightened at that statement… grandfather.Could this be Damien or another family member. He has never sounded like this even during our few dark encounters. I don’t blame him though this Jasmine girl has a thing for making the Holland men angry.I turned in my chair a little to have a peek of his face and what happened next left me speech lessHi darling how was your day, sorry I came late for dinner it was Lucas who caused the delay.
