ALINA'S POV

The next morning, things had run so smoothly it was a wonder why they got into arguments in the first place. She had felt so remorseful about accusing him last night that she had gotten up early that morning to prepare something for him before Mrs. Agatha got a whiff of it and shut down her actions.

Fortunately, the older woman must have been so tired that she had slept right through breakfast. She had eventually given the woman the day off, looking at how frantic and guilty she looked when she hurried to the kitchen apologizing for oversleeping.

Was this how her mother had felt whenever she made a mistake at her employer's house? Her heart softened and without a thought added an extra week on her vacation period, a paid leave. She had advised her to go take good care of her family and to treasure every second of it.

    ALINA'S POVShe was seated on the couch two days after their encounter snacking on some chips and some guacamole when the doorbell rang."Who is it?" she called.The intercom buzzed alive and the screen showed no one. She frowned and returned to her chips.Maybe she heard wrong. She thought as she stuck a piece of chip into her guacamole one more time. The doorbell rang again and this time, she decided to go check who was behind it all.Her expectations didn't prepare her to see Agatha Wheeler, her husband's younger sister. She was wearing dark corduroys and a peach coloured tank top waving with enthusiasm and a huge smile on her face."Hi sister-in-law!" she chirped."Agatha?" she called in pleasant surprise.

    MICHEAL'S POVEarly that morning as he walked to his car, his cellphone had rung. It was a call from his mother telling him about his sister's intention to visit him. He had bluntly refused and didn't bother to tell Alina about it.He had felt bad for turning her away but he knew that she was just there to act as a spy for his mother, at least for the duration of her holiday.That day at work he had made an appointment with one of his contractors that he hired to sell a very huge and well-sought-after piece of property and had inquired about the results.The property was within the same vicinity as his but wasn't that far away that the person living there could see what was going on outside his estate. He had decided to sell it to the highest bidder and for so long had stayed closed until today when his assistant had informed him of the property being sold and surprisingly so fast. It had only been a few days since it was listed."So what's the name of the property buyer?"That was th

His jacket was slung over his arm and his tie was loosened. He looked stressed.She rushed to his side to take his jacket from him and pulled his tie over his neck. He gave her a grateful smile. She could feel the heat of his sister's hateful stare as she watched from the couch."You guys! Get a room," She said, her face scrunched up with a wealth of disgust. Micheal let out a resigned sigh."Tell me, Agatha, why are you here instead of with your parents? as it should be" he answered."Because I wanted to stay with my brother and sister-in-law, is that so bad?" she quipped stressing

    MICHEAL'S POV "What?"He had slumped back into his chair as he lost his balance. He had just finished a meeting when his mother had called him. For a split second, he had contemplated not to answer her call. But judging by the number of times he had already missed her calls, he had to answer. It might have been something very urgent. And it was."I said your father has been rushed to the hospital. He had a heart attack. We're at the hospital right now." His mother repeated."No," he said quietly."Micheal, can you hear me?" his mother's frantic voice broke through."This can't be happening," he said dazed.This couldn't be happening. His father had been fit as a fiddle just yesterday when he had gone to meet him to go over some details. During the conversation, he had caught his father massaging his chest.FLASHBACK"Dad, are you okay?" He had asked out of concern. "Am okay son. It's just beating a bit faster that's all. Am alright.

How are you feeling today?"She had asked on the first ring. "Am doing much better sweetie "Her mother had said. She smiled because she did sound much better. Her voice had gotten back to normal and she sounded more bubbly than more than she had been throughout her illness. "Are you doing okay? How is your husband doing?" she asked. She hesitated. "He's okay. Am doing much better. Are the doctors treating you nicely over there? And your treatment, is it working?" she questioned changing the subject quickly. "Everything is fine o

Why?!"

He asked panicked as he looked under the covers to find that she was wearing nothing underneath.He quickly closed it,wrapping the bedsheets around him sarong style as he jumped out of the bed trying to get some distance away from her. She had on a satisfied smile and he could clearly recognize that smile from all the times they had made love in the past. He chastised himself inwardly for being unable to erase that part of his past and memory."You're the one in my bed " She clarified.His eyes darted around the room and his eyes widened in recognition."How did I get here?"
