TWO MONTHS LATER
Selena was happy she couldn’t believe that she had passed just after one try. She had been nervous about this exam ever since she started the lessons. But since she had passed and got her driver’s license now she can drive herself. He was going to be proud of her, she could see it.
Her husband was the only person who brought joy to her life especially with so many eyes on her. She remembered the day she visited her parents in her small village, the shock they had on their faces when she told them she was getting married.
With time she convinced them, she told them honestly that she couldn’t live without him and he was her source of joy. They have always wanted her to be happy so they finally agreed.
She was raised in a small village where everyone worked in either the plantation or the factory. Her parents got married after finishing high school and they conceived her. They were childhood sweethearts and to make her life better than theirs, they saved money.
She received all the love and care no other child could. They wanted her to attend a famous university and she got to do that. She wanted to make them proud so she studied like a maniac.
Because of her background, she didn’t make any friends at all which was not a problem for her. She knew why she came to the big city and having friends in a place you didn’t know was just one huge risk for her and she didn’t want that.
Even though she was married at eighteen she was still attending school and everything was not the same at all. It was the way they looked at her and call her names behind her back. It wasn’t a crime for one to marry another so why did they make it as if she committed a huge sin?
“Congratulations ma’am,” her driver said as she reached the car.
“I should be thanking you for all the help. I never thought in just a short period I would do it. Thank you,” she said smiling at the man.
“I’m just glad that I could help. Where do you want to go after this?” he asked her.
She pondered over the matter for a while before she reached a conclusion.
“Let’s go and buy something to eat first,” she said and the driver opened the door for her and she got inside.
She took a photo of her new license and sent it to her husband who was abroad for a business meeting. He didn’t open the message since he must be busy.
“How is your wife?” she asked the driver, the man who had been her driver ever since she agreed to marry her husband.
Richard was a good man and she liked him a lot, he cheered her all the time whenever she was depressed because of all those people who just couldn’t stop minding their own business.
“She is doing great. She wanted me to ask you if you still want those seedlings,” he said and she remembered it.
“I nearly forgot about it. I would love to have them. I am planning on making a garden behind the house. Some vegetable will do,” she said already seeing how her new project will pan out.
“That will be great, if you need some help please don’t hesitate to ask me,” Richard volunteered and she smiled.
“I will keep that in mind,” she said.
The car stopped at her favorite food mall and she happily jumped out of the car and rushed into the pizza den. Whenever she was happy she just loved having some.
She couldn’t afford to have it whenever she wanted it back then because she had to save but now she just buys whatever she wanted thanks to the card her husband gave her. Even though she wasn’t using the card the way he wanted her to do but she was doing her best in spending his money in her own way.
“Welcome, it’s good to see you again so soon Mrs. Sawyer,” the female attendant said as she stood in front of her.
“It’s good to see you too,” she said with a smile on her face.
“Can I get you your usual?” she asked her.
“Yes, and three more flavors too,” she answered.
“You must be having a feast,” Anne said as she created her order.
“I am celebrating, I finally got my driver’s license,” she said happily, she just couldn’t hide her joy.
“Congratulations, I am happy for you,” Anne said as she gave her the receipt.
“Thank you. Can I have some beverages and get one for yourself. You always talk to me when I come here,” she said feeling grateful.
“Thank you so much,” Anne said as she took the card to bill for the beverages.
After getting her receipts, Selena went to sit down on one of the chairs while she waited for her order to be processed. Just hearing someone calling her by her husband’s name made her heart flutter.
“What a coincidence, I didn’t think I will bump into you like this,’ a familiar voice said and she turned her head to look. It was her husband’s step sister; she really loathed that woman a lot.
“How are you?” she asked as soon as she saw her.
“I am doing fine as you can see. I can see that you came to squander his money like always. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Wendy asked her and she looked at her. She hated people like Wendy, people who were so full of themselves that they thought the world only revolves around them.
“How can I be ashamed when I am just spending what my husband makes?”
“I cannot believe this. I wonder where he picked such a shameless gold digger like you. It’s just a matter of time before he dumps you for another, enjoy it while it lasts,” Wendy said and left.
She took a deep breath before shaking her head. She was used to this and she was not going to let anyone continue to push her around. Was it a crime that she wasn’t that good at taking that they all bullied her with harsh words like this?She finally took her four boxes of pizza and a plastic bag containing her beverages, Richard helped her with the food to get to the car. All the happiness she had was now gone thanks to Wendy. One day she was going to get back at her for causing her so much mental stress.Did she have to remind her that her husband was not into her? She was just holding on to that little hope and yet someone was trying to crush it down. They had been married for over a month and yet her husband had never laid his hand on her.They shared the same bed and yet he treated her much worse than one would treat a sister. Maybe she wasn’t attractive enough and that is why he didn’t even bother to consummate the marriage.She wi
“Welcome back sir,” Richard his driver said.“It’s good to be back. Where is she?” he asked.“She locked herself in the room and haven’t eaten anything since morning,” Richard answered. Seeing how she couldn’t even eat it meant she was distressed.“Isn’t she craving anything? I can buy it for her on the way.”“She bought her favorite pizza and gave it away,” Richard answered.That was serious then, he knew how much she loved pizza and if she gave it away then there was trouble. They arrived at the mansion and the staff was no longer there.“You can go home too Richard. I will take care of myself,” Sean said as he got out of the car.“Have a good night then,” Richard said and drove away.Sean walked into the mansion and it was quiet and peaceful. It wasn’t wise for a depressed person to be alone. What if she tries to
She hoped that she will be able to be that brave and bold and start something too.He undressed himself and she looked away, seeing him fully naked for the first time was just so difficult she couldn’t look at him in the eyes.“Look at me dear,” he urged turning her face to his.“I….,” she didn’t get to talk as he leaned in for another kiss again.She closed her eyes once more and let this man of hers take her places she never went before. She was busy concentrating on the kiss when she felt this sharp pain between her legs that she cried out. When did he do that?“It’s okay, just breathe,” he said and she did as he told her too.He poised himself over her and she could feel him inside her. He had broken through that barrier and she was no longer a virgin wife, she was excited that she forgot about all the pain and pulled her husband down for anther kiss.He understood witho
Sean took the dishes to the sink and washed them. She watched as her husband did the chores and he was sexy. How could she be so lucky to have such a man like that?“If you keep on staring at me like that, I am afraid that you will have to skip classes this coming week,” he said as he turned around.She choked on herself and drank some water. How did he even notice that she was staring at him?“I will go and do my assignment now,” she said as she stood up.She was going to go as far away from him as possible before she does something she will regret. He caught up to her and embraced her in a hug.“Aren’t you forgetting something?” he asked as he locked eyes with her.She shook her head, she was done with everything so what was he talking about?“I don’t know,” she answered him.“Let me remind you then,” he said and lowered his mouth to hers. She smiled and
She could feel the butterflies in her stomach; Sean was acknowledging her in public. Ever since they got married he had never went with her anywhere in public like this. This was a dream come true, she no longer had to feel sorry for herself anymore. She hold onto him tightly and never let go as they went into this boutique.Inside was this other woman, she was dressed in such a manner that she wouldn’t even dress like. She was a beautiful woman and someone she had seen her husband with before they were married. She didn’t like this at all; it was as if she was walking into the lion’s den with her two feet.“Sean, I didn’t know you will be dropping by. I can see that you brought your wife,” the woman said and she could hear dissatisfaction in her voice.“She needs some clothes; can you help her with that?” Sean asked as he led her to sit down on the couch.“Yes, I can do that. What a kind of clothes ar
“It’s nice to meet you,” Selena said as she stretched her hand to greet the man and the other woman who seemed to be her age.“It’s nice to meet you too,” Victor said in response.“Are you here to have some dinner?” Sean asked.“Yes, I came to spoil my sister. She will be attending Empire University from tomorrow,” Victor said and Selena’s face light up.“What a coincidence. My wife is a freshman there,” Sean said as he looked at her.“Really? That will be great. Can we be friends?” Vivian was all over her and she just couldn’t stop it.For the first time someone wanted to be her friend but since she had no idea who these people were she looked at her husband for an answer and he smiled at her.“Yes, we can be friends if that’s what you want,” she agreed on the request.“That’s good then. Can I have your
Like every time the class was full and they all gawked at her the second she walked in. she was used to it so she wasn’t bothered anymore. She found a nice seat and made herself comfortable; Vivian joined her and sat next to her.“Why is everyone being awkward?” Vivian asked her after seeing the way the other classmates were staring.“They have been like that ever since my marriage. Apparently, a poor girl is not allowed to marry a rich guy and an older one on top of that,” Selena explained.“How can they be childish like that? It’s not a big deal having money; besides I can tell that you love him and that is all that matters,” Vivian came to her side.“Thank you, it means a lot.”“Don’t let those people bother you. From today going onwards I would love to seek your help on something,” Vivian said.“What is it?” she asked.“There is a matte
That was some hard truth he was hearing. He would be happy if she has some power of her own, maybe she will start to look down upon herself. It was a good deal after all and he was glad that he was seeing her in such a new light.“If that’s the reason then I thank you for choosing her. I am grateful for your consideration,” he thanked his father.“I just want you to be happy. You should visit home more often, your mother misses you,” he told him.“I will visit with Selena some other day, if there is nothing else I will take my leave now. I have some meetings to attend to,” he said.“Sure, I will not keep you. Go and do your business.”Sean bided farewell to the chairman and left his office. He went straight to his office only to find Wendy waiting for him. She was so furious he wanted to take a photo and keep it as a reminder.“I don’t remember having an appointment with you D
