ACCALIA'S POV"I guess I'll have to learn to appreciate all of this when I am older," the chief chuckled and looked at Don with understanding. "Do you want me to teach you a bit about the things you've missed out on, dear? I can make sure you're ready for whatever comes your way in the future.""That would be great." Don responded kindly."Alrighty then, let's begin." chief Orel exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly as he clapped his hands in excitement. "First of all, we need to talk about your marriage and children. What do you plan on doing about that?""I haven't really thought about it..yet."The chief nodded his head and glanced over at me with an encouraging smile before turning his attention back to Don, who was looking rather excited. He leaned forward so that his elbows rested on his knees and his chin was resting against his interlocked fingers. "No plans for the little ones?""I...don't understand."The chief raised his eyebrows at Don and laughed again. "Of course. I don
ACCALIA'S POV"We shouldn't keep the pregnant lady hungry now should we?" The chief said, "Martha!" He called out and a young lady stepped out.she was short and plump with rosy cheeks and curly black hair, and she smiled widely when she spotted me sitting in front of the fire."Here is your dinner. Eat up quickly. Don't want you to fall sick." She grinned. The woman set a plateful of steaming meat broth on the table beside me along with a few other bowls of rice and some green vegetables."Thanks Martha." I said and began eating with a big grin on my face."I'm sorry if my cooking isn't to your liking, Lady Accalia, but I only had time to prepare a simple meal today, unlike the other people around here," she replied with a slight chuckle."It's okay. I love the smell, thank you for the offer Martha.""Of course. Anytime." She winked and sat down across from me."So far gone are you in your pregnancy?"I looked up from my meal to see that everyone was staring at me curiously.Even th
ACCALIA'S POV“I do love modelling,” I started, of course, I loved modelling so much but my family had been against it because the believed that if I modeled, it would be hard to marry me off into an influential family. “But I don't do it professionally, just as a hobby.”“Well, that's a shame, I mean, your husband owns a modeling brand.” Martha said again, this time she was really getting on my nerves.How was i going to explain that I was just finding out that my husband owned a modeling brand? I did not even know what he did at work!“Yes, such a shame but getting in through him would be nepotism, moreover we have a baby on the way.”“That's true, Martha stop prying into their private lives.” Chief Orel scolded sternly and that made Martha scoff.“That's okay, my wife will soon begin working as a model for me.” Don said and I stared at him in shock.My mind raced with confusion. Did I hear him correctly? Did he just say what I think he said? A model? Me? The image of me wobbling ar
Don shot me a sympathetic glance, his earlier proposal momentarily forgotten in the midst of the chaos. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, reaching out to touch my hand again.I nodded, still processing everything that had just happened. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... surprised," I admitted with a nervous laugh.Martha hurried to clean up the mess, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Maybe being a model wasn't so far-fetched after all. But one thing was for sure – life with Don was always full of surprises.While, Martha swept up the broken dishes, Don leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "You know, I wasn't kidding about the modeling gig. I really think you'd be great at it."I couldn't help but chuckle nervously, still trying to wrap my head around the idea. "Yeah, well, it's definitely... unexpected," I replied, shooting him a sidelong glance.He grinned, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Come on, Accalia, admit it – you've always secretly wanted to strut down a ru
ACCALIA'S POVSo the dinner finally came to an end and Martha busied herself with clearing the table. I glanced at Don and a silent question passed between us. It was time to address the elephant in the room which is our true reason for being in this remote village."So, Don," Chief Orel began, his tone friendly yet curious. "What brings you and Lady Accalia to our humble village?"Don hesitated for a moment, exchanging a brief glance with me before responding. "Well, Chief Orel, it's actually quite a story," he began, his voice tinged with amusement. "You see, Accalia and I were on our way to a secluded island for a romantic getaway when our private jet suddenly encountered some... technical difficulties."Martha's eyes widened with intrigue, and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh at how Don was creative telling the story."Technical difficulties, you say?" Chief Orel echoed, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.Don nodded solemnly, his expression mirroring his exaggerated tale. "Yes, i
ACCALIA'S POV"So, what are we supposed to do until then?" I asked, trying to keep the panic from creeping into my voice.Chief Orel shrugged apologetically. "Well, you're welcome to stay with us until the bus comes around again. We'll make sure you're well taken care of in the meantime."Martha chimed in, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. "And we have plenty of activities to keep you entertained! We could go fishing in the river, or take a hike up to the waterfall..."As she rattled off a list of potential things we could do for fun, I couldn't help but smile at her infectious childlike attitude. Maybe being stranded in this little village wouldn't be so bad after all.Martha continued listing off the village's activities with the enthusiasm of a tour guide. I couldn't help but chuckle at her strong energy."We could bake pies from scratch, or try our hand at traditional weaving," she suggested eagerly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.I nodded along, trying to keep up with her rap
ACCALIA'S POVChief Orel entered the kitchen with his expression being grave."Sorry to interrupt, but there's something you both need to see," he said, his voice tinged with urgency.Martha and I exchanged a worried glance before we hurriedly followed him behind.Chief Orel led Martha and me out of the kitchen and into the yard, where we found Don and Kito lounging under the shade of a tree and they were surrounded by empty bottles."Don, darling, are you okay?" I asked because there was a mixture of concern and amusement as I approached him and I took note of his slightly glazed expression.Don grinned up at me, his words slurring slightly. "Never better, my love! Just enjoying the local... um, beverages."Martha giggled beside me, clearly finding Don's drunken state entertaining.I couldn't help but chuckle at his exaggerated introduction, shooting Martha an apologetic glance. "Looks like someone's having a good time," I remarked, a hint of amusement in my voice.Kito raised an eye
ACCALIA'S POVAs we finally reached the house, I found myself continuing to chuckle at the sight of Don stumbling up the front steps, his arm slung around my shoulders for support."Well, this certainly wasn't how I imagined our week in the village," I remarked to Kito with a grin.Kito chuckled, shaking his head. "That makes two of us. But hey, at least it's never boring with Don around."Kito then bid me and Don goodbye and left me with a drunken Don. I closed the door and walked towards Don, "Let me get you to be..."Before I could complete my sentence, Don held my hand pulled me to sit on his lap. His hands roamed along my sides and I felt my heart flutter at his touch. My fingers instinctively reached to thread through Don's hair."You look so lovely tonight," he whispered huskily in my ear before placing soft kisses along my jawline.My cheeks flushed, but before I had the chance to reply, His hands slipped beneath the hem of my top, gently caressing my skin. He leaned forward,
