My wife, my enemy! I’m single now
There’s absolutely no reason for people to apologize for things they can’t control, or that was what Adrian thought. He couldn’t control his emotions falling apart before Ivy, and he couldn’t also blame her for calling him kind. Being called kind wasn’t the same as being called easy, but it felt the same to him.“And what’s with the compliment?!” Adrian wondered. She said he made a good cappuccino and today she said he was nice. Sadly, Ivy’s genuine words had been poisoned by Heather’s assumptions, and even though her sincerity was written all over her, Adrian struggled to lay down his guards and just accept her words for what they were.The informal interview between them had turned sour in a matter of minutes and Ivy had no idea how to resolve it.“Can I take a minute? I need to relieve myself…” he finally spoke, after a few minutes of awkward silence.As he rose up to the restroom, Ivy released her breath and sighed in relief.Gina’s words resounded in her head as her despair fl

“I figured that was the case with the pretty girl, this morning…” Ivy said, darting her gaze to the ground.“Oh?!” Adrian exclaimed, nodding in agreement.“It was that obvious…”“Yeah, I’m sorry…” She replied.“No, please” Adrian pleaded.“Don’t be sorry for me. I already feel terrible enough.” “I’m sorry…” Ivy apologized again, feeling awful.“Now there are too many sorry’s and I don’t know which one to take…” Adrian teased, smiling at his own joke.Ivy let out a soft chuckle that expressed her relief.She looked around and there was almost nobody at the cafe.Adrian followed her gaze, and realizing the same, he said,“I told you… Sundays are half days…” “But we can’t close, just yet.” Ivy protested.“Are you saying that because you don’t want to go home, Miss Evans?” Ivy’s heart danced at the exotic and effortless way he pronounced her name. A faint blush tinted her face and she buried her face in her palms, trying to hide her embarrassment.“I told you too much…” she squeaked.

Ivy hurried out of the dressing room back to the cafe, to meet only Adrian staring intently at his phone. Alex was gone.She stood aside for a moment, studying his features, watching his expression change from calm to upset.A message tone beeped on his phone and he cringed at it, tossing the phone aside. He raised his eyes and their gazes locked.“I didn’t want to disturb you…” Ivy said, in a voice almost as low as a whisper.“It’s okay..” Adrian said, drifting his gaze back to the phone.Ivy observed his expression quietly and smiled, a knot clenching her chest at the thought of him being pestered by someone who hurt him bad,“Girl problems?” She asked, unable to control the emotions that were increasingly becoming apparent.“Not really” Adrian replied, glancing at her.Her piercing blue eyes seemed to glow even brighter today, accentuated by the simple magenta gown she wore, contrasting her red head and creating a captivating allure to her eyes- or at least, that was how he felt as

The new month began, along with a new season.“Spring really is here” Fredrick groaned.“and daddy has to go back to work.”“It’s been three months after all” he told his children, even though they were still sleeping. Fredrick kissed Aiden on the forehead, and before he could get around to Adele, she was already awake, wriggling and writhing in the bassinet, demanding to be held.Fredrick took her from the bassinet, cuddling her in his arms,“Should I take you with me?” “Won’t you cry and ask for mommy’s food.”“You’re going to be late, Fredrick” Alex whispered, emerging from the hallway and heading straight for Aiden who was now awake too.“Did you sleep well, champ?”Aiden made some cooing noises, and Alex replied,“I’ll take that as a yes…”, turning to Fredrick, he said“Should we stay back with them or go with them?” “Don’t be ridiculous!” Fredrick scoffed, turning to put Adele in the bassinet.Alex smiled warmly at Aiden, as he laid him down.“You know, he owns everything you

“I didn’t mean it like that…” Margaret giggled softly, poking at Alex as they gathered around Adele and Aiden, each person cradling the baby in their arms.“I might end up living with Adele for ever!!” Margaret squealed.“Won’t you have your own babies?” Alex teased.“Of course, I will! All of us will just stay here with Adele” she said, wiggling the baby in her arms.Noah and Gary were playing cards on the plush sofa by the corner of the living room, totally ignoring their squishy comments.Avery and Fredrick were taking a walk around the expanse mansion, everyone had just finished eating and were now relaxing in anticipation of the weekend, Adrian busted into the living room and plonked on the couch next to Gary.“I’ve had a long week…” he sighed,“And that phrase is the most repeated thing I’ve heard this week.”“Why do women piss you off, then say; I didn’t mean it like that” he said, mimicking the voice of a certain blue eyed girl with full red hair.He leaned on the back of the

Adrian woke up to a persistent knock on his door, he groggily stood up from the bed and headed towards the door.“It’s too early for this, Avery” he groaned.“What do you mean too early? I came to check on you, seeing that it is past nine and way past the time where you make more money than all your life! “And you’re still not awake…”“Past what?!” Adrian exclaimed, his drowsiness dissipating instantly.“I thought you make more money in the morning than you do all day…” Avery teased as she walked off.“Now is not the time to be petty, nutmeg!” Adrian riposted, slamming door against the wall as he hurried into the bathroom.Ivy couldn’t help but steal glances at the door, her heart leaping with every door bell ring, hoping that it was Adrian. Meanwhile, ten impatient customers were awaiting their coffee and a few had already left in frustration.She attempted to brew a few cups, but it was evident that they could tell it wasn’t the usual standard, and some left the coffee untouched.

“I can scold you if you want” Ivy smiled warmly.“No, I can do without” Adrian replied, walking away with a tray of freshly brewed coffee for the waiting customers.Ivy’s gaze followed him across the room, observing and enjoying his every move, his friendly demeanor and smile lit up the atmosphere as well as it lit up her heart. He effortlessly graceful, making something as basic as serving coffee look good.Ivy’s heart skipped a beat when he turned and his eyes met with hers and butterflies sang in her tummy.“Heather is right” she thought to herself. “I could never have him… he’s way too good for me”She sighed sadly as Adrian drew closer, “what are you thinking about?” He asked, observing her expression.“Nothing” she lied.“I’m just wondering why you came so late…”“Oh!” Adrian exclaimed.“About that, simple, unbelievable truth is; I overslept.”Ivy raised an eyebrow displaying her disbelief.“Overslept?” She repeated.“It’s true!” Adrian protested.“I woke up to a loud bang on

“We’re going to those places tomorrow…” Adrian blurted out during a quiet moment at dinner, piercing the silence with his announcement.“You are actively pursuing love, Adrian!” Noah exclaimed, with feigned annoyance.“It’s a good thing!” Margaret and Avery chorused.“He just left a relationship, what’s the next girl going to do did the last didn’t do!” Gary opposed.“Let him go out there and find out, he won’t just know by assumption.” Alex chimed in.“After every break up, psychologists advise you stay off the opposite for at least two years, before you even attempt another…” Gary said dramatically,“Buts it’s been about three weeks since we broke up, and it feels like forever ago.” Adrian argued.“Yes, like most misery.” Noah chimed.“Ooooh, why are you two so dark?” Avery shuddered.Fredrick leaned over to her and held her in a side embrace,“They’re scary…” he teased.“You know I’m just showing her around town, nothing serious…” “I think it is a pretty intense thing to be showin

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
