CHAPTER 2

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 wiped away the tears that were now rolling down her cheeks. Richard respected her privacy and didn’t say a word as he drove straight back to the mansion.

The butler came out to greet her and took the food inside. She was no longer hungry at all. All she wanted was just to hide herself and let herself drown in her sorrow. She didn’t want him to see her like this, it will be embarrassing.

“The food is yours, please enjoy it and everyone take the rest of the day off and tomorrow,” she said looking at the butler.

“Are you sure about that ma’am?” the butler asked her.

“Yes, go and spend some time with your family. That is what is important,” she said fully knowing what it was like to be detached from the people you love.

“We will do like that,” the butler said and she made her way up the stairs for the bedroom.

Even though she was young her husband gave her the authority to manage the household as she liked though most of the job was done by the butler. She had the final say on most of things and she was grateful.

She wanted to be alone which is why she was driving everyone out of the house. She didn’t want to give them a reason to talk behind her back again. She was going to cry and let it all out by herself.

She went to the bathroom first where she took a nice cold shower and changed her clothes. She crawled on the bed where she sat and just blanked out.

“Sir, we have a situation,” his P.A said as he entered his hotel room.

“What happened?” he asked him.

“It’s the young madam sir, she sent away all employees from the mansion and her driver told me that she just had another altercation with your sister and ever since then she just changed. What should we do?”

“I think it is time to go back home. Prepare the jet, we will leave in ten,” Sean said.

“I will get down to that,” Brian his P.A said and left the room.

Why won’t these people leave him alone? He didn’t mind if they attacked him but did they have to attack his little and innocent wife like that? He treasured her so much that he couldn’t bear to put a hand on her. He thought he would break her and lose her.

For the first time in his life he met a woman who could look at him and tell him what he wasn’t willing to hear. She was honest and forthright with him. She was a fighter but above her it was the love in her eyes he saw before he married her.

All the women he knew all had lust and desire for him in their eyes and yet this kid it was different. She never made a move on him even when she was in that state. He was interested in her he found himself going there every day just to see her face.

He was prepared to take all the blow for marrying her but he never expected that they would do that to her even when she was married to him. It was time to make things clear.

“We can leave now sir,” Brian said.

Sean packed his bag and head out with Brian. The drive was not that long till they arrived at the private airstrip. Within minutes the jet was airborne.

He opened his phone and saw the text she had sent him earlier; he smiled as his head got filled with all kinds of crazy things. She worked so hard just to pass and he was proud of her.

It all started as a joke. One day he told her that if she gets her own driver’s license then he would take her out on a date and get her a car of her own. She was so excited that she began the next day.

He knew that she wasn’t a materialistic person but she was excited about the date. He was lucky to find someone who was into him more than his money.

It was three months ago when he first saw her. She was just a timid young girl who wore this eye glasses. She was not that beautiful but she caught his eye. You could tell that she was a scared cat but that didn’t stop her from doing what she was doing.

She was just a girl who came to the big city from the countryside for her tertiary education. He had never been attracted by young girls before and yet she just kept on drawing him to her.

He vowed not to give his heart to anyone but with her he was failing. He watched her all the time until the day of the incident. It was just a minor incident to him but to her it meant a lot.

She spoiled his shirt with wine and she cried her balls out. It was the funniest thing he had ever witnessed that he got busy to keep her clam and assured her that it was fine.

From that day onwards she began to talk to him that was his condition. He wanted her to serve him whenever he comes to that place. After getting to know her for a while he dropped the bomb on her and she agreed. He knew that she agreed not because of the promises he made to her but because of her pure love for him.

He wasn’t going to shun her out anymore; he was going to officially make her his wife. Within a couple of hours, the jet landed and another car was there to pick him up for the mansion.
