My wife, my enemy! Thrilled
Gary wandered off the table to the foyer of the mansion, he overheard Alex making subtle threats on the phone and he immediately knew something had gone wrong.He peered into the room and their eyes met, Alex beckoned him to come closer and Gary did just that.“What’s going on?” He asked.“Someone is trying to play a cheap blackmail on Avery, I can’t let it get to the public and I won’t let it get to Avery either. I need your help.” Alex replied, his alter ego had overpowered his rational side and now Gary could clearly see the Mayor in him.“What do you suggest we do?” Gary asked, settling down beside him.“Every call I make is recorded and tracked. All I’m going to do is track the caller and find him myself. What I need you to do for me is to follow me when I find him. I hate to take laws into my hands but someone needs to be a scapegoat.” Alex seethed.Gary was shocked at the person before him, Alex who had never hurt a fly was breathing fire and his eyes were burning with anger.“

Adrian’s phone rang persistently somewhere at the cafe. Gary and Alex had made plans to get Francis today.What he couldn’t decide on, was if he wanted Francis to be in jail or if he wanted him to just be shipped off of Avery’s life.“I’ve been thinking, his going to jail would involve some court actions and I don’t want Avery in that position” he said, pressing the phone to his left ear.“We can’t bring Avery to court if we’re trying to keep this away from him” Gary concurred.“Then, we can threaten to sue him to court, if he doesn’t stop.” Alex said firmly.“But we don’t have any evidences that he did any of these things…” Gary succored.“Oh, I do have evidences. I have a picture or two and we can use aunty Aubrey too, she can be a witness.” Adrian breathed heavily.“Send the pictures you have, we are already waiting at the bar side to get the bastard.” Alex seethed in anger.“Are you sure you don’t want me to come?”“No, I can’t expose you to him. We don’t know what he has planned

Margaret and Fredrick set the table for dinner. They had prepared a delicious meal of chicken and broccoli salad for the nursing mother, even though she was clear that she wanted roasted bacon for dinner.Aiden and Adele were fast asleep, and even though they were asleep, Noah would not leave their side. He had been with them all day, talking to them and telling them all about himself. “You’re going to deafen them with all those stories of yours!” Fredrick exclaimed, giggling excitedly.“No, I won’t!” Noah replied.“Noah is obsessed!” Margaret exclaimed, frustrated that he wouldn’t let her be with them even when they were awake.“He’s an uncle, it’s quite overwhelming. You don’t get used to it overnight” Fredrick said in between light chuckles as they prepared the table for dinner together.“Oh, well. I guess I can understand that.” She replied.“How’s your mom now? Is Lovelyn still pressing?” Fredrick asked, arranging the cutlery by the side of each plate.“What?!” “Did you know ab

Alex’s most dreaded day finally knocked on his door. He and Fredrick were passed out on the sofa from drinking. Of course, Fredrick had no intentions of getting drunk, but watching Alex drown himself in a full bottle of Brandy wasn’t his intention when he suggested a drink so he gave in.Winter was slowly giving way to Spring, slow, very slowly.The fogs in Greenville were intense on some days and less on some other days. Today being Joseph Clinton’s wedding- the morning winter breeze came in cold, chilly and snowy, like a Christmas winter.Alex twirled around on the couch, searching in vain for a blanket to snuggle under, instead he wiggled into a body next to him.Gary and Avery watched the two men holding onto each other for warmth.“I can’t believe this.” Avery scoffed, “He left me alone in bed with his children to cuddle with Alex, what did I get myself into?” She heard a soft chuckle cackle in the background, and it wasn’t from Gary.They both turned around and their eyes me

“Hey” Adrian replied, surprised and momentarily caught off guard.“Who’s your friend?” Heather asked, Adrian noticed the hint of jealousy in her eyes, stirring a bit of tension between the trio.“Heather, this is… uh,…” Adrian paused, suddenly realizing that he didn’t even ask for her name.He turned to her and their eyes locked in an understandable awkward moment.“Ivy…” the blue eyed princess replied.“Nice to meet you, Heather.” She said, extending a friendly hand towards Heather.Heather took her hand in courtesy of her genuine smile but her jealousy didn’t fade away, instead, it increasingly grew within her.After their awkward pleasantries, Ivy turned to Adrian and said,“I don’t know your name either”Adrian smiled wryly, feeling his face burn up, “Adrian, Adrian Bells” he replied.As the three of them stood there, an unspoken tension gradually emerged between them, the atmosphere in the cafe suddenly felt different and chilly until a table bell blared, calling for a waiter.

Alex, Fredrick and Gary came home earlier than expected with little to no tales of Joseph Clinton’s wedding. While, if there was a tale, Fredrick and Alex would not say, but Margaret had made sure to join the wedding online, after all it was the wedding of the Former Mayor of Greenville.She had swooned over Alex in a suit forty times before the ceremony was over, beaming and fantasizing about the day she’d be the one on the altar. A feeling of nostalgia overwhelmed her when he came back home with the gold flower brooch attached to his tuxedo.Alex was still not talking to her, even on the dining table, but her unspoken apology was well accepted and Alex could neither keep his eyes off of her. For some reason, the light blue pajamas she had recently purchased made her breasts look fuller, exposing her cleavages, gluing his eyes to her body like a moth to a flame.“Okay, that’s it, come here…” Alex exclaimed, jolting from his seat over to Margaret’s seat.Margaret smiled sheepishly, fo

The next morning, Adrian’s alarm blared persistently, shaking him awake from his deep sleep.“Ugh!” He groaned, glancing at the display time, he had overexcitedly set the alarm for 5am. “Well,…” he yawned, stretching and groaning as he groggily pulled out of bed.By the time he was ready to leave, it was almost 6am.“Just as calculated” he patted himself.Careful not to wake anyone, he tiptoed away from the house to the garage where his Toyota corolla was parked.Driving through through the quiet, dimly lit streets, he couldn’t help but enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. The city was just beginning to stir, early morning joggers were already on the road, together with delivery trucks and road cleaners.As he approached the highway, he turned on the radio, deliberately distracting his thoughts from drifting to Heather. The radio filled the car with soothing melodies of soft music, easing his mind as he drove along.He glanced at the rearview mirror, just checking, a habit he learnt from A

Ivy watched from her side eye as Adrian stood his ground, saying no to the beautiful girl even though he was clearly hurting, and it made her wonder about what really went wrong.Adrian felt he was slowly suffocating from Heather’s constant pleas. She had no remorse in her eyes, only the look of someone who wanted to have her way, despite whatever.“Do you even like me?…” Adrian forced himself to ask.Heather’s hand went to the back of her head, gently rearranging her hair.“Hey, who cares? We make a good looking couple.” She said, shooting Adrian a wry smile.“I care… I don’t want to make a good looking couple, I want to be with someone who likes me romantically.” Adrian shot back.“eiiish, come on! Don’t be archaic. No one cares about those things now…”Adrian nodded emphatically, he was really beginning to see Heather and the kind of relationship she wanted to build.When his eyes returned to her, he noticed quite a distorted expression on her face, one mixed with surprise and anxi

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

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
