My wife, my enemy! Alex meets Margaret
The pizza box was opened delicately by the gracious Avery, as her face sprawled into a smile, Fredrick made a mental note that his wife loved pizza.His gaze swiftly went from his wife to the chattering Margaret who was talking and chatting with Alex like they’ve known each other forever,“I don’t need to introduce you two then…”“They are getting along pretty well” Avery chipped in.“I shall introduce myself” Alex retorted.“Hi princess, I am Alex.” He said stretching out his hand for a handshake.Margaret hesitated for a while before taking his hand, she fixed her gaze on him without averting his eyes,“You are intimidating me” Alex shuddered playfully.“Princess?” Margaret repeated.“What would you rather be called? Stranger?” “I’d rather be called Margaret, sir” Margaret retorted with a hint of irritation in her voice.“Nice to meet you, Margaret.” Alex bowed.“The pleasure is all mine!” “Now are you ready for my delectable plate of …..”“I’ll pass…” Alex said, as he arose from

“Avery Hughson!! Come out now, it’s urgent!” Margaret yelled.At the sound of her thundering voice, Avery jumped out of her husband’s cuddle and hurried out to meet her friend.“Don’t bring down the roof!” Avery chuckled.Seeing her friend, Margaret hurried to her side in a frenzy,“I might be getting married soon, recommend wedding dresses” she squealed excitedly.“Okay, you’re getting too far ahead of yourself here” Avery laughed heartily.“I know! But I can’t help it, he’s so sweet. I’m so excited, he promised to call me. That means he wants to see me again, doesn’t it?” Margaret rambled on breathlessly for minutes, talking about how exciting her evening had been, forgetting that Avery herself was present the whole time.Abruptly, her phone vibrated in her hand cutting her rambled short,“I think that will be him” Avery teased,“Omg! You think so?!”“I know so”“Okay, I’ll go into my room for this. You should go back to your husband, this might take a while.” She said, as she leapt

Avery threw herself off the bed, dressed up and hurried into her Bentley Mussane. She was worried about her husband and Alex. From the little she knew about him, he’d never bail on Margaret.“Avery” Margaret whimpered on seeing her, like two sisters, Avery threw her arms on her friends, patting her back in consolation.“I’m sure he has a good explanation.” “I think I fooled myself… Maybe I read too much meaning into our little time together that I forgot that it was possible for him not to be interested in me”“Oh Margaret, I’m sure it is nothing like that…” “I hope so” Relieving each other from their hugs, Avery raised her hand to beckon on the waiter but she halted at the buzz of Margaret’s phone,“Is that him?” Avery asked expectantly,“It’s Noah…” she replied.“Excuse me,” Margaret said as she pressed the phone to her ear,“What is it?” She charged.“What? No, yes…I’m coming sir.” Margaret dropped the call weakly, and began to gather her things,“What is it? Is something wrong

Avery drove back home, worrying and thinking less about Fredrick, Alex had assure her that he was busy working.Still, she couldn’t shake off the unsettling revelation about Noah, she wondered why anyone would abandon their child, because it happened with two people she was close with, it made her worry about how many more people are abandoned with no clue of their biological origins. “It must be very disturbing, not knowing who you take after.” Avery sighed, She made a mental note to call Adrian once at home, “Thank God for our parents, Adrian”She glanced at the screen on her car, it was well past nine, the day had passed by so quickly.She had spent all day running around that she had missed all the day’s meals. Having no energy to cook, she delved into the garage of Dawn’s restaurant, “It’s getting late, I’ll just order to go…” As she walked into the eatery, she sighted a man whose figure looked like her husband’s. Avery drew closer, trying to satisfy her curiosity.“Thank yo

“What woman?” Fredrick asked, seemingly confused.Without a word, Avery walked away, going into the house, leaving them speechless and worried.“I know you’d never cheat on anyone, not Avery or anyone else…What’s going on?” Alex spoke first.“I’m equally as confused… I didn’t do anything wrong.” “So she didn’t see with someone at Dawns? I’m sure she’s making things up, I’ll be sure to let her know.” Margaret snapped, walking away “Wait, wait! That’s not what we’re saying” Alex interjected, “Then what are you saying? I think you should just be honest to her, you’re married to her for Gods sakes!”“Now everyone is gone, it’s just us. Who did you have dinner with?”“I didn’t have dinner with anyone.”“Did you go to Dawns today?” “I did. But I didn’t have dinner with anyone.”“Then what did you go to do at Dawns?”“I went to see the cake la…”“Oh hell!”“I am happy you remembered, go in there and fix it. Why are messing up so much?” Alex exclaimed “What did you do?” Fredrick amidst

For a long time, Avery had anticipated their end of contract, she had waited for the day where Fredrick would present her with divorce papers signifying the end of their marriage. Somehow, she had begun to brace herself for that day.Fredrick’s voice resounded loudly in her head, “will you marry me? Really and truly?”Avery contemplated horridly, one thing was confused her? Did getting married for real mean the end of their contract? Then what about her school, her pay? Would it be counted as null since they would be bounded by love and not by contract.“I can’t, I’m sorry” Avery whispered.Fredrick’s heart sank at her response, for a while he had been thinking about it- asking her to make their marriage valid, but never did he consider that Avery’s answer would be no, she was the one asking for consummation.She admitted her feelings first, she nursed him, she waited for him to grieve, she cheered him up, she stayed by his side, never did he imagine her to say no.He sat frozen on th

Alex hurried upstairs, with his heart pounding tremendously.He had wanted to tell Fredrick about this unwanted visitor from the moment he met him on his doorstep but he didn’t know how.Fredrick was quite unforgiving, he knew that he wouldn’t let him stay.As Alex caught up to him, Fredrick shifted his gaze to him, Alex whimpered and flinched at him, he didn’t want to fight with his best friend but he had to face him.Slowly, gradually, he regained himself as he returned Fredrick’s gaze, both of them stayed glaring at each other- Fredrick’s gaze more intense and piercing.“Enough! Both of you. Fredrick I’ll leave by morning if it bothers you so much that I reappeared in Alex’s life.”“You reappeared in both our lives, after everything you did! How dare you?!” Fredrick roared.“I regret all of those th..”“You don’t!” Fredrick cut him in.“I have learnt something about people and I’ve learnt they never change”“What about you? Hmm? Haven’t you changed? I heard you’re married now?” Th

Like two birds busy on building their nests, Fredrick and Alex ran around the house preparing hurriedly.“How did we sleep through all of these notifications?!” “Maybe if you had spent less time yelling at me, you would have slept early enough to wake up in time for whatever you have planned for your wife.” Gary interjected, he was cautiously seated on the couch, sipping his cup of coffee and watching them run helter-shelkter.Fredrick had no time to respond to his comments, Alex’s words would not stop resounding in his head, he had promised Margaret that he would not miss her day but half the day was gone and he wasn’t nearly on the way to Paris.The two hours flight from Greenville to Paris was spent on endless pictures with Margaret.She must have made her change up to six times, trying different poses every thirty minutes.Avery’s heart sank nervously at the thought that her husband must have bailed on her after planning out such a nice day. She wanted nothing else but to spend

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
