My wife, my enemy! For Fredrick and Avery
“For Fredrick and Avery”Fredrick breathed in as he read the first line.“The contract couple, I always knew my grandson would not marry for love. He never wore that expression, I never saw it in his eyes, not even when he was with Claire.There was no redemption for him, he was grumpy, barely spoke, only cared about work, and making sure the next day stayed the same. My grandson likes to control things, they must go his way or the only way. Are you surprised that I know about the contract? One day, Freddie brought a beautiful, amiable young girl to my house. She was a complete opposite of Claire and I knew something was suspicious.Avery, Fredrick would never be attracted to someone like you naturally, logically.He likes quiet women, yes-sir women, women that quiver at his sight, women whom he has complete control over, women hypnotized by his charms.But you have that defiance in you, his charms didn’t penetrate you and that was my first cue.During dinner, you went to his side

Fredrick had been unable to get his mind off her decision to go back to the hostel.As he trudged up the stairs, their last argument replayed in his mind, his heart sank as her voice resounded in his head causing him to wonder if really, Avery felt suffocated staying in the same house with him.His efforts to shake Avery off his mind all seemed futile. He wandered around his room restlessly, unable to ease himself. He stepped out of his room and peered at her room, seeing her lights on, he sighed in relief and made his way towards the kitchen.Avery stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. She had made a mental list of the things she’d do when she got out of the bathroom, she hadn’t called Margaret in a while and she felt guilty. She settled on the soft sheets of her bed and pulled out her phone.She held the phone to her ear for what seemed like forever, Margaret did not pick up after the second dial and Avery ruled that she must be busy with something.She plonked herself o

Noah sat at the Botanical garden in Bryson’s Medical School apprehensive glancing at his wrist watch every now and then.He was only a few minutes away from his basketball when Avery called him saying that she was driving towards the West Wing of the school.Although she hadn’t asked him to wait up, Noah could not control his incessant yearn to see her.He glanced at his watch again and realized he was late to practice, he was becoming more disappointed than nervous,“Gosh Adam will have my head” he sighed.He carried his kits and began to make his way out of the garden, as he began to walk out of the garden, he was startled by the revving sound of a car coming in a distance.He looked closely at the approaching car and his heart raced at the sight of Avery’s Bentley Mussane.A wide smile crossed his face as he waved excitedly at her. Avery pulled over to the side of the road,“Hey!” She smiled, equally happy to see him.“Where are you going?” She asked as Noah finally pulled open her

Avery buried her face in her palms immediately.“I am so sorry, I am so sorry.” She cried.“I only came to ask you to dinner, Margaret sent me” she continued, blushing terribly.Noah‘s heart dropped at the sight of her shrinking body, making him wonder why she looked like that. He looked around him and realized that he was only covered in a towel, he heaved relieving sigh and took a few steps forward aiming for his t-shirt on the bed.He glanced at her again and he couldn’t control the appeal to tease her with the situation.Noah whispered, retying his towel to reveal his well toned abs. As if Avery knew that he was teasing her, she raised her head and her eyes caught his stare, Noah made no attempt to avert his locked gaze with Avery, instead, unconsciously, his lips twitched into a smirk and he found himself sauntering over to her.Avery looked away instinctively, she didn’t understand his gestures but she knew that he was seducing her.“Are you scared of a naked man?” Noah teased

Fredrick had been constantly tormented by his own replies to Avery.He felt terrible about denying his feelings.When Avery had confessed to him, he wanted to take her by the hand, place her on the table and do things he’s only been dreaming of to her, but… he couldn’t.Everyday he came back from work, he peered at her window, hoping to see the lights on.He had tried to call her but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. If he had rejected her, it was only right to give her some time.Cooking wasn’t easing his mind anymore, neither was wine. He needed a break, a conversation, a human connection.He had just gotten back from work, here he was leaving again. Avery’s absence made the house seem deserted and empty, for the first time in years, Fredrick craved human connection, a presence, a friend.“Alex” Fredrick muttered as he walked out of the house dialing a contact.“Fredrick Luca Hughson” the recipient replied.“Alexander, if you’re not too busy, can you meet me at Frond Bar.” Fredric

“Where are you? I’ll come to you immediately.” Fredrick exclaimed in despair.“I think I know what the problem is” Alex said, turning his phone to Fredrick.He swiped the screen left and right, growing increasingly angry.With the phone still pressed to his ear, “Avery, did you serve tacos at a food truck today?” Fredrick asked, his voice was cold and stern.Avery’s heart sank when she heard his tone, she tried to say yes, but she could only wince at the irritation in his voice.“Did you do it to sabotage me? Are you rebelling? Is this…?” Fredrick heaved, steadying himself.He realized he was more angry at the people who took the pictures than he was angry at Avery.He felt distressed by the anguish Avery would be going through.“I promise, it wasn’t to harm you or your reputation.” Avery sobbed.Fredrick remained quiet for a while, unable to speak, he was concerned about her, yet the uneasiness in him rendered him blank.“F…Fredrick?” Avery stuttered.“I’m sorry.” Fredrick hung up

Avery woke up the next day in firm, masculine arms, cuddling and spooning her as the sunlight sieved through the curtains, gently rubbing its warmth in their faces. She blinked her eyes open, trying to piece together the night before.She tried to raise her body and sneak out of bed but the firm hand held her down and pulled her closer.“Don’t go please, stay” Fredrick whispered, his voice coarse and groggy.Suddenly, the happy memories of last night filtered through her mind’s eye. She couldn’t help but replay their moments in vivid details, she felt shivers crawl down her spine as she relived Fredrick’s unexpected kiss, the way his eyes sparkled as he confessed his love to her, the genuineness in his eyes when he spoke to her, his tongue inside her mouth as he tasted her lips. Avery couldn’t help the rush of joy that snaked into her.With a faint smile and racing heart, Avery carefully turned to face him, careful not to disturb his peaceful sleep, careful not to put this moment in

“I don’t think our breakfast is coming any time soon, should we just leave?” Avery turned her gaze to Fredrick, he didn’t seem angry or jealous, his expression was just blank and she didn’t know what to do with that but she knew what to do with Noah,“Excuse me…” she said to Fredrick, as he grabbed Noah by the hand and pulled him away.“What is going on? Noah, why are you so shocked?” “I’m sorry I didn’t tell anyone. It’s a little more complicated than it seems.” Avery said, trying to bring him out of his daze.“I just can’t believe that you’re married” Noah cried,“How are you married? When? Aren’t you like 23?” Noah blurted breathlessly.“Yes, I am married. I’m legally married to the Hughson family, a few months ago and yes I am 23.” Avery retorted, she felt horrible that she had kept this part of her life secret but she didn’t deserve Noah’s scrutiny.“You’re making me…feel weird” Avery confessed.“I… I fell in love with you” Noah stuttered, he wasn’t actually confessing to Avery

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

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
