Adepe turned around to see her sitting up on the bed with her hand rubbing her blurry eyes."Yes, little wife." He answered her and walked back to sit near her. "I am sorry for leaving without telling you." He pulled her in and kissed her forehead.Loreen's eyes fluttered in confusion, and she gazed intently at him, as he drew her back. Was this Adepe or a clone? I mean, earlier, he was cold to her and now he's like a different person. He was acting like he used to before, towards her.Adepe 's brow creased a bit when he saw the blank expression on her face, and a low sigh escaped his lips. "I really am sorry. I actually went to the bathroom, only to see you sleeping peacefully in the tub, so I didn't wake you up because I didn't want to disturb your nap."Hearing his words, Loreen hurriedly pulled the blanket up and dragged her pajamas down. Then she stared at her thighs and her face began to alter in terror. What the fuck? What the hell is going on? The wounds she had were gone.
The early morning sun shone brightly the next day and showered its rays through the window on the couple who lay hugging each other.Loreen blinked her eyes open and a yawn escaped her slim lips. She rubbed her eyes and her gaze fell on Adepe , who was still sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face, as though he was having a nice dream.'This is the first time he has stayed beside me till I woke up.' Loreen smiled to herself, as she thought, with her cheek a bit red, and raised her hand to caress his face. She stroked his cheek and gently removed the strands of hair that fell over his face and tucked them behind his ear.She glanced at his long hair that was scattered on the bed and suddenly found it unique and lovely.She stared at his lengthy lashes, which looked so beautiful when he closed his eyes, and she felt quite envious. 'I will cut them one day.' Her lips curled into a grin as she thought, and she traced her fingers over his scars. A pessimistic expression emerged on
He watched her for a while, and suddenly cleared his throat to get her attention. "Um... little wife.""Yes." Loreen raised her head to gaze at him with an expectant look on her face.Adepe coughed yet again and darted his eyes around. "How do I go about this?" He muttered to himself, as though contemplating how to say whatever he wanted to say.Loreen's brow furrowed at his behavior, and she arched her brow in suspicion. "You... have something to tell me?" She asked and stared at him in a questioning manner.Adepe raised his eyes to gaze at her, and he slightly nodded his head. "I do have something to tell you." "Then go ahead." She shook her head at him and scooped up a full spoon of rice to eat. However, the next words that excited Adepe 's lips had her halt the spoon at her lips. "I want to take you on a date." Her body stilled and she raised her head to gape at him with disbelief, evident in her pitch-black pupils.Adepe parted his lips and began to glance around, with nervou
The young lady smiled nervously as she asked, and beads of sweat began to drip from her forehead. Why is she sweating? Well, if she makes any stupid mistake and offends Adepe , the manager of the company might not be so happy with her... she might... even get fired. Adepe glanced at her and blinked his eyes in contemplation. "Something sexy and beautiful." He said this while staring at the young lady."Okay..." The young lady smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. "What about color?" She stares at Adepe with anticipation in her eyes.Adepe fluttered his eyes and took a low breath. His little wife was not a fan of pink, as he had never seen her wear pink, and white, as wearing that to date won't be so nice. Maybe red can work. I mean, red dresses are beautiful. He agreed within him and glanced at the young lady, "Red.""Okay, please follow me." The young lady gestured to Adepe towards the second floor and they walked into the section that sold the most expensive dresses, in whic
The day went by faster, and just like Adepe promised, he returned around 6 pm. A deep breath escaped his nose as he stared at the entrance of his mansion. He shoved his hands into his pocket and, with a wide smile on his lips, he walked through the door and entered the building.He took the elevator and went straight to their room, then opened the door and shut it behind him. "Little wife." He called when he saw no one inside the bedroom."I'm inside here." Loreen's voice sounded from the bathroom. "Where did you go? been waiting for you." She opened the door and stuck her head out to peep at him with a little frown on her face."I had some business to deal with," Adepe replied with a smile and strode to the sofa to take a seat."I see..." Loreen nodded at him in understanding and retracted her head. "I will be done in a while." She smiled and closed the door.Adepe took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa to take his jacket off, then strolled to the second bathroom in the co
They arrived at their destination in the shortest time of an hour, and Alex slowly drove the car into a dark area that was only visible with the support of the bright light of the car. He packed the car, and the men following behind them in the SUV also parked and hurriedly climbed down to open the door for them.Adepe stepped down and gestured with his hand to Loreen to help her out of the car.Loreen's brow furrowed a bit as she stepped down from the car and looked around their area that was filled with darkness. "Adepe ..." She turned her head to question him, but when she saw his gestured hand, she held back the question.A deep breath escaped her nose, and she interlocked her arms with his, then slowly, Adepe began to lead her somewhere that she couldn't see properly as a result of everything being enshrouded by darkness.Adepe had just led her up a staircase; she had no idea was there when, unexpectedly, hundreds of small bulbs that emitted luminous light came on, leaving her
Loreen's eyes fluttered in utmost happiness, and she smiled as she nodded her head in approval. She placed her hand on his, and Adepe helped her up.He walked her out of the canopy and, under the full moon and thousands of stars in the sky, Adepe wrapped both her hands around his neck and then placed his hands on her waist. With that being done, they both began to move in rhythm with the classical music.Loreen gazed into his green eyes just like he was also gazing into hers, and Adepe placed his forehead on hers. She shut her eyes and inhaled deeply before exhaling. She laid her head on his chest and hugged him. Adepe smiled at her action and wrapped his arms around her.They danced this way till Adepe pulled away and kissed her on the forehead. He interlocked his hand with hers and stared up at the dark sky. "I want to take you somewhere.""Huh?" Loreen blinked her eyes in confusion and gazed at him."Come with me." He kissed her on the forehead and placed his mask on his face,
"Loreen-" A deep breath escaped Adepe 's mouth and he fixed his gaze on her "-On that day, I found you about to commit suicide. I felt very pained and hurt that I couldn't hold it anymore, but had to run up to you and catch you before you jumped off."Loreen's mind went blank the moment she heard that, and the scenes of that day replayed in her mind. That hand that held onto her, that was... Adepe . The person that stopped her from killing herself was Adepe . She could vividly recall that person's face. She could now vividly recall Adepe 's face from that day."I requested your hand in marriage even though you were sold to me, but I want to tell you right now that I do not regret having you sold to me because if it were not for it, I would not have you standing in front of me right now.""Every day, my heart raced every second for you, but my brain couldn't agree with me that I was in love with you. I tried to convince myself that I didn't love you and that I only cared for you, bu
