Chapter 3
Two weeks later.
**Camille pov*
Asher allows me to go to the grocery shop other than that, am stuck at home.
I do the same thing every day. Have my bath, do the chores, eat, and sleep.
Honestly, am used to it. I only use my phone to call Annie. I have no other friend and am not the social media type.
It was 9:30pm and Asher isn’t back yet. Not like I care anyways. I laid down on the bed to sleep when I heard the sound of a car.
Oh, he is back!
I closed my eyes pretending like am asleep. Few minutes later, he heard him enter the room.
I opened my eyes to look at him and he caught me.
“I know you are not asleep” he said softly and I sighed and sat up on the bed.
“Welcome”
He simply nods taking off his jacket. My eyes moved to a box on the floor and I wondered what in it.
He strolled into the bathroom and my eyes landed on the box again.
Curiosity got the best of me and I walked over to it.
It wasn’t wrapped so it was easy to open. I opened it and it was, clothe?
I brought it out and stretch it to get a better view.
It’s a red off shoulder dress.
“Is it for me?” I wondered.
“It is for you” I heard Asher’s voice behind me and I flinched.
I turned to face him. A towel was wrapped around his waist. Water drip from his hair making him look dangerously cute.
He was still the same Asher just that his attitude towards me have changed.
“For me?” I asked.
“Yes. We are going out tomorrow” he announced and I gulped down nothing.
“My company is organizing a function and we are allowed a plus 1 so am taking you” He stated.
“What if I don’t want to go?” I asked folding my arms around my chest.
He moved closer to me and trailed his fingers on my face.
“Am in a good mood, camille. Don’t ruin it”
Before I could talk, he slammed his lips on mine. It was slow and passionate, I couldn’t help but reciprocate.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and deepened the kiss.
He might be a jerk but he is definitely a good kisser.
He carried me and laid me down on the bed still kissing me and then, he started undressing me.
**************
The off shoulder dress hung low at the neckline, showing off my flawless fair skin.
It hugged my curves, flaunting my small waist and endowed hips.
My make up was minimal, tinted lip gloss, eyeliner on my lids, fleeky drawn brows and a touch of powder.
I carried my purse and exit the room. Asher was in the living room dressed in a black tuxedo.
“I’m ready” I announced and he turned to look at me. His jaw dropped.
“Wow, you look beautiful wifey” he smiled.
I arched my brows. What’s up with him? He have been nice with me since yesterday.
Whatever it is, I love it.
We both left the house in his car with him driving.
In less than half an hour, they were at the venue.
The hall had a magnificent exterior, and guests and journalists swarmed the entrance.
Women dressed in beautiful gowns and men in suits.
Asher held my hand and we both walked in.
For the next 15 min, I was completely bored.
Asher kept introducing me to his business partners and i was bored of saying the same word. “It was nice meeting u too”
He led me to a table and brought soft drink for me.
“I will get you barbeque, wait here” He said and left.
Look who is been a gentle man today.
I sip the drink and look around. I saw a man whose back is turned to mine.
He is talking to a lady and then he turned and I froze.
A soft gasp escaped my lips.
*Don’t you think you are Drinking too much**
Of course, it is him!
Suited in a tuxedo, there was regality in his strides and authority in his demeanor.
He stared at me. Those blue eyes. Then he did the unexpected, he turned away like he doesn’t know who I am?
Is he kidding me right now?
He said a few things to the lady and walked away.
I quickly got up and followed him. Have been looking for all possible means to see him again and now that I have, he is going to act like he don’t know me, not happening.
“Hey, Mr” I called but he didn’t stop walking.
I sprinted and ran in front of him, he wasn’t expecting it and he ran into me making me run into his arms.
I blinked and my heart skipped a bit. His arms were wrapped around me and I love the smell of his cologne.
Am happy we are not in the hall again else we would have created a scene.
He quickly disengaged pulling back from me.
I breathe out heavily. “Hi”
He said nothing and just nods expecting me to say something.
Who the hell is he?
“Do you remember me?” I asked.
“I don’t know you” he answered bluntly.
“Seriously? We were both drunk and then we....”
He interrupted me. “Excuse me, young lady, I need to go somewhere”
He made to walk away but I blocked his way.
“So you are just going to act ignorant right? You had sex with me and you ..”
“Keep your voice down” He said.
“So now, you know me”
“I don’t, you are speaking gilberish. I need to go and don’t try to stop me anymore.”
I was about to say something when I heard a familiar voice call me.
I looked up to see Asher. He walked towards us and look in between me and the guy.
“I was looking for you” Asher said to me and then faced the guy.
“Oh Asher! I thought you wouldn’t make it” He said and my eyes widened.
They knows each other?!
“I told you I will..., Anyways”
He wrapped his arms around my shoulder and smiled.
I felt uncomfortable due to the fact the guy is watching us.
“This is my wife, Camille. Camille, meet my boss, Harry. The Ceo of the company I work with”
I suddenly went numb. Are you kidding me?!
The man I had sex with few days ago is my husband boss.
How come I don’t know this?
***how are you suppose to know? Do you work in the same place with your husband** that was my subconscious again.
“Camille” Asher’s voice lapse me back into consciousness.
“Yeah?”
“Are you okay?” He asked.
Oh, so he cares.
“Yes. Why?”
“You zoned out”
“Ooh” I uttered and turned to find Harry still in front of me, his hands tuck in his trouser’s pocket.
“I would be leaving now. You guys have fun” He said and glancing at me, he left immediately.
I turned to Asher looking at me with a slightly angry look.
“I told you to stay there but you just choose to disobey and move around. Were you planning on flirting with my boss?”
I paid no attention to Asher. He can continue blabbing. Have had enough shock for one night.
Firstly, I met the man I unknowingly had sex with and he denied knowing me and it turns out he is my husband’s boss.
Oh, someone shoot me!
Chapter 4**Harry**After freshening up, I sat on my study chair and brought out some file to work on and placed it on my study table.A knock was heard on the door. “Come in” I said and Chloe strolled in.“You work everytime” she frowned looking at the files on my desk.“More work. More money” I simply said.“You have enough money, if you don’t work for the next few years, you definitely cannot go bankrupt” Chloe Uttered and sat on my bed.I said nothing as I continued glancing at the files on my table.“You look sad. Is something wrong” Chloe sounded worried.Chloe is my younger sister. Am just two years older than her. She is nice, lively and carefree.She is a journalist. Why she chooses to study that, no on
Chapter 5*Camille*My stomach knotted as I packed the car in front of the house.Am in trouble and I know that. The car was repaired, unfortunately, did not arrive on time. Chloe chatted with me while Harry just stood saying nothing.When the car repairer finally showed up, he quickly repaired my car within 15 minutes and Harry paid him.“Give me your digit. We should hang out sometimes” Chloe smiled at me giving me her phone.I put in my number and hand it back to her.“See you around” I waved, glancing at Harry one time, and entered my car, off to the grocery shop immediately.I slowly opened the front door and met Asher still with his laptop in the living room.Oh God, help your daughter.He turned to face me and I could feel his temple throbbed with rage.
Chapter 6Preparing Asher’s favorite food made me go down memory lane. It was when we started dating I found out Asher’s best food is Macaroni and Cheese. I hated it but I couldn’t allow him know that. I didn’t want to make him angry so I would prepare it for him and eat with him.Along the line, I started getting used to it until I eventually loved the food. But today, am preparing his favorite food for him with mixed feelings.First of all, why is he in a happy mood?. I don’t trust him at all. I was feeling really sleepy which was really strange. I wasn’t the type of person that goes to bed early.After vomiting, I felt really weak but had to drag myself down to the kitchen to prepare Asher’s food. I wouldn’t like to get in Asher’s bad book this night.After some reason, the macaroni’s scent wants to make me wanna puke
Chapter 7 *Harry Pov* I knot my tie absentminded as I checked my reflection in the mirror. My mind wasn’t at rest at all. Scarlett would be getting married this week and honestly, it hurts. I really do love her or I loved her but a part of me still loves her. I still have feelings for her and that is the most annoying part. After everything have done for her, this is how she choose to pay me back. I cared for her. She was the first girl I have ever cherished and loved sincerely. It hurts she decided to leave me. She wants money, I would have given the whole world to her because am crazily in love with her but she choose to go after my dad. Who does that? *Scarlett^* my subconscious answered for me and I furrowed my brows. I
Chapter 8*Camille*The next morning......I woke to find out Asher didn’t come home. I had gone to bed early after leaving Annie’s place in the evening.I was feeling really weak and had to go to bed early. Besides, I already had dinner at Annie’s.There was no sign of Asher and I needed no soothsayer to tell me he didn’t come home.It not the first time he won’t spend the night but he would call or text to let me know he won’t be coming home. A meeting or business trip came up, he would say.I brought out my phone from the drawer beside my bed and checked to see if there is any message from Asher but none.Just a message from Annie and Chloe. I clicked on Chloe’s message.Chloe- when are you free?, would y
Chapter 9*Harry* I stared at Asher in anger as he bowed down his head saying nothing.“I don’t understand what’s up with you these days. The work assigned to you, it was done roughly and I gave you the opportunity to do it again but same result”“Am so sorry. Am just not my usual self these days” he explained.“Did something happen?” I inquired.“At all. It just...am sorry, I will rectify the work” he stated and I nods.“Am giving you the last chance. Do it right”I said and dismissed him after telling him to call Avery in.Avery entered a minute later and bow down slightly.“You called for me”“Yeah. The business meeting in two da
Chapter 10He looked shocked too and opened his mouth slightly and the words that came out of his mouth shocked me.“Am sorry”..I blinked not believing my ears. “For...for what?” I stuttered trying to avoid his eyes.“For bumping into you” He simply said.“That all?” I signed in disappointment.He won’t apologize for the one night stand. He would only apologize for bumping into her.The fuck.I was still in thoughts when he walked past me and left till he was out of sight.I hissed loudly as I racked my hand in my hair frustratedly.But wait, what is he doing in Los Angelos. Is he perhaps stalking me.That is not even possible. But why is he here? I hope he doesn’t tell Asher anyth
Chapter 11**Harry pov**Call me stupid, call me dense, call me foolish,Call me all sorts of names cause i deserve it.I left Camille to her fate and went for my meeting.I wonder how she is...,okay, am just joking.Am currently in GoodLife hospital waiting room , I cared less about the contact.Someone’s life is at stake. Avery wasn’t happy with this but there was nothing she could do.I asked her and John to go for the meeting. I don’t care if I don’t the contract.Avery had insisted she take camille while I go for the meeting but I had declined.I don’t know why I did that but I want to save Camille.I rest
