My wife, my enemy! Now Mrs Hughson
Here comes the bride, here comes the bride! boldly blared through the huge speakers of the crowded hall.The corridors of the ballroom were filled with the richest one percent of Greenville smiling from ear to ear.The air was filled with celebrations of joyous faces including that of Grandma Jojo beaming with pride.It was a sad thing that from seven hundred guests, the only faces Avery could recognize as she strolled down the aisle were Mr Sinh and Wallace from the coffee shop.She looked around, desperately searching for her brother, he was supposed to walk her down the aisle but he was nowhere to be found.Avery was troubled by his sudden disappearance but she pressed on, smiling brightly and charmingly at the guests who were enchanted by her graceful beauty.As she approached the stage, she caught sight of her groom, Fredrick. For the first time since their first meeting at the coffee shop, Avery noticed how ravishing he looked. His tailored suit hung tightly on his body, making

Being a man who grew up with a painful memory of abandonment, Fredrick hated vulnerability. The mistake of trusting Claire had cost him his heart, he was certain that he had given out all his love.Still, he couldn’t deny that Avery had grown on him.His little charade on the way back from their wedding was as intense for him as it was for Avery.What he intended as a tease was slowly awakening a feeling he wanted to keep away.That he tactically drew a line between them did not stop the recurring flashes of their moments from flooding his mind.He was helpless by an incessant yearn to be with Avery, yet he was determined to keep feelings away from their contract marriage but the less he tried to think about her, the more he missed her.He had gotten to enjoy Avery’s company and presence. “Argh…!!!” He exclaimed in frustration, unable to fight the feeling that he actually wanted her.“I have to do something” he thought.He had to engage himself in something to relieve himself from t

The next few days after the dinner night were filled with dodges and avoidances.Fredrick spent every day working tirelessly, in order to avoid contact with Avery.Avery spent every day studying for her Medical school entrance examinations.She was nervous about it, therefore she decided to give it her all.However, she was more nervous about bumping into Fredrick in the kitchen whilst she went to find food, but no sooner did she realize that Fredrick was avoiding her as well. She rarely heard his footsteps or his door creak open, he was almost never at home.Avery seized the serenity of the house to study harder, she was grateful to Adrian for gifting her the portrait of her parents.Every time studying felt tiring, she’d look at the portrait, motivating herself with the promise she made to her dad.“Whatever happens, I have to make it work!” She said, pushing herself to work harder.She had almost completed her task of the day when the door bell rang vigorously.Avery made no attem

“I have an idea…” Avery began.“How about a business trip?”Fredrick shot a flaring sneer at her suggestion.“She’ll force me to take a leave and I can’t have that.”“Well, I can’t have this turn of events either.”“Why can’t you?!”“Because…”“Yes?”“Because you made this decision on your own…because you have been avoiding me all week. We can’t just be in the same room like it’s nothing.”“I’ve been avoiding you for your own good!” Fredrick replied.“Why is that a good thing?”“I can’t be with you”“Why can’t you?! Because I’m not Claire?”At that moment, Fredrick’s shoulders dropped in despair. He was shocked at Avery’s knowledge of Claire.“Nei-nei…” she whispered softly, observing his shocked reaction.“Nei-nei told me” “I’m impressed that you are even capable of love…” With that, Avery stormed out of the room, leaving Fredrick in his feelings.Feeling hurt and frustrated, Fredrick sat there contemplating what had just transpired between them. He felt betrayed by Nei-nei for giv

The first rays of the morning sun sieved into the room, leaving its warmth on Avery’s face.She opened her eyes to a strange surrounding and glanced around trying to figure out where she was.She fell into a daze of confusion about what had transpired between the time she was in the garden…“The garden, I don’t remember leaving the garden to this room” “I carried you” Fredrick replied promptly. He had been waiting to taunt her.At that reply, Avery jumped in surprise, she hadn’t noticed a second party in the room.As she peered around, she instantly recognized a figure laying wearily on the couch in the room.Her eyes widened in surprise as she turned to Fredrick.“You carried me?!” She asked, slightly embarrassed. The images of last night occasionally flashed through her mind.Fredrick nodded with a devilish grin on his face.“Yes, I carried you Avery Grah…”He paused as he realized she went by a different name now.“Avery Luca Hughson” he corrected himself, saying it out loud for

Avery paced around the garden nervously, unable to settle or study. She grew increasingly frustrated and concerned about Fredrick.Just when they had navigated their relationship to a point where they could be friends, she felt sad that something had to change that.She heard the gate open loudly, she peered out into the distance hoping to find Fredrick’s car returning, she was disappointed to find that it was Grandma Jojo’s driver instead.She noticed Grandma Jojo come out of the mansion with her bags as she approached her.“I don’t think Fredrick is comfortable with me around.”“Nei-nei…” “That’s not it… I’m sure something is wrong, and it is not about you.” Avery said, trying to cheer her up.She was certain that Fredrick would never have a problem with his Grandma, but Jojo was adamant.“I know him too well to listen to you, dear.Stop making excuses for Fredrick, Avery, please.” Grandma Jojo snapped.“Yes Ma’am” Avery replied startled at her response.Observing her startled reac

The next few weeks at the Hughson’s mansion was quiet and filled with tension.Fredrick had been avoiding Avery since their last fight, he had been spending his time with Claire and her baby.Claire on the other hand was trying hard to get even with Avery, she had felt belittled and embarrassed during their last conversation.“You have refused to tell me how you fell into a contract marriage.” Claire probed, trying to find a loophole, which she planned to use against Avery but Fredrick would not open up to her.“You have refused to tell me who the father of your child is. What happened to you?” Fredrick asked.“It’s a long story I can’t quite get out of my stomach. It is heavy.” Claire said, looking grave and sad.Fredrick’s heart immediately went to her and so did his body, he slowly leaned over to her, his head dizzy with emotions. Claire was his first love, his first love whom he hadn’t quite gotten over despite everything she did to him, and how much she wrecked him.When he saw

“Fredrick!” Adrian exclaimed.Particularly happy to see his in-law.At his appearance, the house went hushed with silence, Nei-nei gave him a stern look and he immediately cowered at her glare. His gaze went from Nei-nei to his wife, who stood smiling brightly like nothing was wrong. He was relieved to see her with Nei-nei, looking radiantly beautiful.“Where have you been Fredrick?!” Nei-nei asked, clearly displeased by his behavior.Fredrick was certain that he was about to get an earful from his grandma and he was ready for it.He partially came here hoping to be chastised in some way, he would willingly take all of Nei-nei’s earfuls.“I said do better” She began,“I’m sorry, Nei-nei” he said, approaching her cautiously. He wanted to hug her and apologize for behaving poorly, but he was stopped by Adrian who asked him to open the bottles of wine on the dinning table.“What are you celebrating?” He replied.“Oh no, Freddie!” Nei-nei exclaimed.“Your wife! We’re celebrating her succ

My wife, my enemy! Goodbyes!
The next morning in the large mansion at White Avenue was quite a whirlwind.“Can’t you stay for a bit? Say two more weeks?” Avery sighed softly.Margaret and Adrian chuckled wryly,“I don’t want to go neither” Margaret replied.“But I have to…”“My fiancé needs me” she added, extending her arms so that Avery and Adrian would see her diamond ring.Avery rolled her eyes and pouted slightly,“You can have a fiancé and still stay here… don’t leave me!” Avery cried.Her cries were so outrightly falling on deaf ears because, as Alex emerged from the hallway with bags in hand, followed by Fredrick, Margaret leaped towards him,“Hi there, my fiancé” she squealed excitedly, hanging on her husband’s arm. Avery shook her head playfully, and gestures to her husband too.“I guess it’s just us from now on...”“I know so..” Fredrick replied.“Invite us to the wedding, if you please” he added.Alex nodded agreeably,“That definitely, you won’t miss.”Turning to Adrian, he laid his free hand on his s
My wife, my enemy! Beyond time, as long as forever exists!
EIGHT WEEKS LATERThe most expensive hotel in Greenville opened its ballroom doors to a vast number of guests trooping in. “The Right Wedding of The Hughsons” Fredrick insisted on calling their second wedding that.Of course, Alex was his Best man.“I’m delighted to be ministering at my best friend’s second wedding- to the same person, don’t get me wrong…” Gary said, taking the microphone as the MC of the occasion.Avery was beautifully dressed in the wedding gown Nei-Nei had gifted her, but this time, it was adorned with tiny diamonds, making her glow in the spotlight. Her blonde hair was straightened out and tied in a bun behind her head. Soon, the keyboardist made a procession of the most popular bride song in the world; announcing the arrival of Mrs Hughson.“Here comes the bride, here comes the bride…” The rows and expensive chairs of the ballroom filled with the richest one percent of Greenville, rose in a standing ovation of the prettiest wife ever.Avery scanned the room a
My wife, my enemy! The right way
Fredrick sighed, frustration in his voice as he scolded his brother“It baffles me that the first person you went to ask for help from is someone who abandoned you years ago.” “And Aiden will be saying those same words to Adele some time in the future if you two don’t figure yourselves out.” Noah riposted with a smirk etched on his face.Margaret chimed in her voice feeble and weary,“You’re being really annoying right now, Noah.” “You should apologize for the distress you caused everyone of us here.”Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, “I defended you blindly, and it hurts so much…”“No, no! Don’t cry, Mag” Noah said, wrapping his arms around his sister.“I’m sorry.” He apologized, his eyes brimming with regret.Alex, indignant, removed his hands from Margaret, replacing them with his own.“I’m sorry, please don’t cry… I love you” he whispered, gently patting her back.“You didn’t defend me blindly, you defended me rightfully.” Noah continued.“I wouldn’t dare kidnap any
My wife, my enemy! You asked to see me?
“Noah!” A voice called from behind him as he stepped into the five-star restaurant. Swiftly, he pivoted his head to the direction of the voice and came face to face with face so strangely familiar. “You asked to see me…?” “Please sit down…”Noah scanned the room suspiciously before settling at the table.“Waiter!” “No! I’d rather not…” Adrian interjected,“Why? I can’t let you watch while I eat” lovely smiled awkwardly.“Fine, I’ll take a cup of coffee. Thank you” he replied.The waiter laid a cup of espresso on the table for Noah and a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice for Lovelyn.“Thank you, Meredith” she muttered to the waitress.“How long are you planning to stay in a hotel?” Noah asked, a hint of disapproval in his tone.Lovelyn grimaced uncertainly, “Why did you want to see?”“I’ll go straight to the point. I need your help.” Noah replied.Lovelyn shifted uncomfortably on her seat, unable to contain her excitement.“I never thought this day would come” she smiled warm
My wife, my enemy! Can you hate me later?
Fredrick woke up to the sound screeching chairs and creaking doors piercing loudly into his hearing. He groaned miserably and snuggled into his sheets, unable to bring himself to witness Avery’s departure, especially after his charade last night, he had regretted announcing their divorce and end of contract at the table. He had breached their contract and if Avery wanted, she could take him to court and sue him for damages- after all, the contract was to be done and resolved confidentially, in order to protect each other from prying ears.He shuddered unbelievably as last night replayed in his mind,“Why did I do that?!” “Alex hates me, I’m sure of it” he thought aloud.Suddenly, a thunderous bang sounded on his door, jolting up from the bed instantly.The thudding persisted urgently, without as much as a pause,“Don’t break down the door, I’m coming!” He thundered, hurrying towards the door. Before he could pull the door open himself, the outsider had pushed it open and let himsel
My wife, my enemy! Who took Aiden Hughson?!
Ivy turned down the volume of the soft music on her phone to hear the approaching footsteps clearly.As Ivy strained to listen, the muffled thuds grew louder, echoing through the quiet hall way.She took a quick glance at her phone’s screen which displayed the time as 1 in the morning. It struck her as rather alarming and unexpected that at this late hour, people were not only awake, but also strolling around the neighborhood.“But this is Greenville” she told herself, shrugging it off as she turned the next page of the novel she was reading.Just then, the approaching footsteps stopped in front of her door, accompanied by a knock. Panic surged through her as she held her breath, silently praying the unknown person away. The knocking persisted, this time, a bit louder than before.With trembling hands, Ivy advanced to the door, her voice quivering with anxiety as she muttered,“Please, whoever you are, go away!”“Ivy!” Adrian replied,A rush if emotions coursed through her as she he
My wife, my enemy! Too bad, we didn’t make desserts
Avery drove into the mansion that had been her home for the past one year, her heart wrenching and aching badly at the sight of the man she loved dearly drowning himself in alcohol. Fredrick had readily signed their contract termination papers two days ago.It felt surreal their contract was really over, and she had a week to leave the mansion.As she stepped out of her car, her heart sank at the sight of him sitting absentmindedly in the garden, taking no notice of the car that drove into his compound.“Hey, Avery!” Margaret squealed, startling her from the wrenching sight she was engrossed in.“Hey Mag” Avery replied, forcing a smile.“Fredrick has been like that for days” Margaret said, observing her gaze.“Is something wrong? I’m worried, even Alex is drinking.”“I… don’t know…” Avery stuttered, her voice trembling with inexplicable emotions.She was the one leaving him, but she was the one crying, she couldn’t understand herself.“Are you okay, Avery? You don’t look good either”
My wife, my enemy! The day everything changes
Avery’s phone rang persistently, dividing her attention from the crying babies she was trying to tame.Noah walked into the house, just arriving from school, sensing the chaos in the house, he hurried to the direction of the cries where he found Avery, clutching her phone to her ear.“Can you check on them, please?” She pleaded, grimacing apologetically.Noah quickly nodded, making his way to them.“Okay, Uncle Noah is back and he wants absolute silence!” Noah exclaimed, his voice a little higher than theirs. Surprisingly, as if they understood his command, they gradually quietened.“How did you do that?!” Avery gasped in relief as she re-entered the room. “They’ve been so troublesome today.” She added.Noah turned to face her, a wide grin played on his face, beaming proudly,“Of course, they’ll listen to their uncle. It’s just how it is…” he smiled.Avery nodded sheepishly, grateful for the peace in the house.“If you don’t mind, uncle Noah, can you spend some more time with them? I
My wife, my enemy! Let your heart have what it wants
Just as Alex had advised, Adrian arrived at the cafe and it was already booming. His regular customers were already served breakfast. The idea to add more food to the menu was a good one, their sales were gradually growing by the day and Adrian gave Ivy credit for it everyday.He scanned the room desperately, looking for a red head in the crowd, his heart racing as he scanned through the bustling crowd, searching from face to face for Ivy.Amidst the chaos, he finally spotted her. She was standing near the bar, her red hair sprawled over her back as she drifted seamlessly across the room, going from one table to the other to take their order.“It was a mistake…” Adrian muttered to himself.He head been practicing the same lines on the drive down here, but as soon his gaze fell on the fiery head in the distance, the tingles of her warm lips on him shook him to nervousness.“Adrian!” A voice called from behind, snapping him out of his reverie.As he turned around, his eyes met with the
