Chapter 3: Unwanted Visitor

Kimberly's POV :

His affairs? I have no interest in getting involved in his stupid affairs and I hope he does the same.

'As you wish' I smiled fakely before placing all of my focus on my meal.

'Have breakfast with us tomorrow' Stanley stood up and started pacing in front of me.

He said his last remark firmly. He was not asking me to have breakfast with them tomorrow. He was commanding me. What did he think of me? And why should I have breakfast with my husband's mistress? Did he think I have no pride in mine?

'And why will I do that?' I asked him with a straight face.

'I don't want her to feel like she is not wanted. Tell her that you are not interested in me and will never cross the boundaries, assure her that we are nothing more than strangers.' He stopped in front of me and looked down at me.

Is he crazy? He wants me to say all that stuff to his supposed fiancée, it's true I am not interested in him and this marriage is just fiction but he doesn't expect me to say that.

'What happened to staying out of each other's affairs? Deal with her alone' with that said I walked back to the kitchen and dropped my dish before finding my way to the guest room.

Just my luck, I wish tomorrow wasn't the weekend then I'd have a way to escape the love birds.

Out of curiosity I grabbed my phone and searched for Stanley Williams online.

Then I saw his I*******m account, he had a massive number of followers and he tagged Jennet Cruise. I found my way to her account and her pictures were cool.

I spent a long time staring at her never-ending photos, and every time I see a photo of her and Stanley I will automatically roll my eyes. They must have been the best couples in the country they come from. They are both just showoffs, irresponsible, and too clingy to each other.

I was deeply asleep when the constant knocking on the door woke me up.

I jumped off the bed and walked towards the door, I saw Stanley standing outside while manipulating his phone.

'Yes?'

'It's eight o'clock and you are still asleep?'

'And so?' I asked, confused, wasn't he the one who said we should both stay out of each other's affair? So the time I sleep and wake up is my affair.

'Who will make breakfast for Jennet? She will soon be here'

Wait what, when he said I should stay for breakfast did he mean as the cook, so now he expects me to make them breakfast? That's awesome.

'I can't cook' I lied abruptly and I could see he was angry.

'So much for a wife' he sneered and walked away.

I shut my door grumpily and sat on my bed, what did he expect? That I will be his maid and serve his beloved woman..in his dreams.

I decided to catch up on lectures so I took a book and spent my time reading, after an hour I heard a car pull in.

It must be Jennet, I rolled my eyes and continued reading but I was not at ease.

If they think I'd let them have privacy and do whatever lovers do, then they must be joking. Quickly I freshened up and walked to the living room.

Jennet sat on the couch with her leg crossed, she must have heard my footsteps and stared at me.

Unexpectedly she smiled and waved at me, I forced a smile and closer.

'Kimberly good morning' Jennet greeted me with a wide smile the moment I sat across her. It appeared that she looked more beautiful in person than in her photos online. She must be paying an exorbitant amount of money to maintain her texture and soft body.

Impressively, her style was top-notch, and everything she wore felt like it was personally designed for her.

She did not look like a lady who lost her fiancée to a college girl, rather she looked excited.

'Good morning' I greeted back with a gentle smile.

'I am so sorry that you have to suffer by marrying Stanley, but don't bother as he won't make things difficult for you, I spoke to him' As soon as she finished, Stanley walked in with some packages. He must have ordered breakfast.

'Kimberly help with this' he handed the packages to me and I had to fake a smile before walking to the kitchen with it.

Soon I was done serving the table and I saw how kind and nicely Stanley discussed with Jennet. When he saw Jennet today, it felt as though the ice in his body melted, and he changed instantly.

His attitude towards Jennet was different from the way he treated me.

'Breakfast is served' I yelled out and they both walked to the dining room when Stanley pulled a chair out for Jennet.

I rolled my eyes and turned to leave when Jennet stopped me.

'Why are you leaving? Let's have breakfast' 

For a moment, I thought I was the maid and it wasn't prior for me to join them, but since she asked nicely then why don't I join?

'Kimberly you see how much we love each other, it's just so amazing' she said and stared at Stanley with a blush.

'Hope you don't mind us having this discussion? Stan said you were okay with me'

Of course, I don't mind, go ahead and showcase the shades of your love in front of the legal wife. Was she just trying to rub it on me?

'No, actually you can say whatever you want to. I won't mind because I have a boyfriend' I blurted out and as soon as it left my lips I regretted it, why did I have to lie?

'You have a boyfriend?' Stanley asked with a shocked expression and I nodded.

'Wow that's great, we could always have a double date right?' Jennet said excitedly and I felt my palms develop a sweat.

'So Kimberly, why don't you tell us more about this boyfriend of yours?' Stanley asked with a suspicious tone, didn't he say we should stay out of each other's affair, then why is he probing deeper?

'Do you have any photos of him?' Jennet asked inquisitively.

Her question caught me off guard. I looked at Stanley and he seemed to be curious as well.

'Well, we hardly go out, so I didn't save his picture on my phone,' I reasoned out and then continued eating.

'Is he perhaps on I*******m or F******k? Maybe he posts photos there. I want to see him,' Stanly urged. It seemed that he had no plans of dropping the subject until he saw the man himself.

I brought up this fake boyfriend story to help assure Jennet that there is nothing to worry about. But he is ruining everything by asking so many questions.

'Let me check.' As I spoke, I took out my phone and thought about which coursemate u should pretend to be my boyfriend. The best option that came to my mind was Jakes, he is like the cutest guy in Willsburg college.

I visited his F******k page and immediately saw a picture of him in front of the school. Jakes was so handsome that he could be a match for Stanley, so I smiled and showed them the picture.

Jennet seized the phone happily and checked the picture ' Wow! He goes to Willsburg college, and he is so cute. Stan, do you remember the picture we took in our uni days, it was so cute.' She then showed the photo to Stanley.

He just glanced at it for a second 'Not bad' he coldly remarked.

Jennet finally returned my phone 'Where did you guys meet?'

'I go to Willsburg as well'

'That's cool, do you love him?' Jenner asked in anticipation and I could feel Stanley's gaze penetrating through me.

'Of course' I tried my best to keep it real, so they will not see through me.

'That's great, Stanley and I love each other so much,' she said and placed her hands on his.

'Are we not eating?' I asked, breaking their moment.

Moments later, we were done with breakfast and I decided to do the dishes since there was no one to do that.

I was doing the dishes when I felt a palpable silence behind me, I turned around.

Stanley was standing there and staring at me.' How long have you been standing there?'

He did not reply. He just walked towards me and kept staring.

'Your family knows you have a boyfriend?' he asked.

His curiosity was irritating ' I lied'

'You lied to them?'

'No, I lied to you. I don't have a boyfriend, I just said that so Jennet can be reassured' I explained and he smiled.

'Why are you smiling?' I asked confusedly.

'You look so innocent to have a boyfriend; I wonder if you ever kissed a guy?'

Did he just ask that out freely, I am just eighteen and he doesn't expect me to have done all that stuff.

'For a man who said about our personal affair, you have so many questions to ask' I said sarcastically and he frowned before walking out.

'He pisses me off'

Stanley's POV:

She is such a nuisance, I thought of being kind to her since she wasn't rude to Jennet but she said that.

I walked toward Jennet and she smiled at me 'I told you everything will work out right? She is not even interested in you'

She beamed happily and I nodded, is she not interested in me or is it all just an act? I mean I am Stanley Williams and every college girl will be dying for my attention. But Kimberly doesn't even spare me a glance.

Kimberly walked in and joined us 'I have to study now' she said and left for her room.

Later I sent Jennet off and walked back in. I was about to go upstairs when I heard Kimberly yell from her room.

With great impulse, I ran to her room and pushed the door open.

'Ahh' she yelled out again and immediately I closed the door. What have I done? I thought she was in trouble and never knew I'd meet her half-naked.
