The turn out of my wedding was a complete irony in comparison to what I had initially thought it was going to be.I had started the morning with confusion and an awkward uncertain feeling that lingered somewhere within me, but from the moment that I saw Alexander on the alter, with that bright smile on his handsome face, I felt all my worries and fears wash away.Maybe if Alexander Mckenzie was there at my second grade Science fair programme, it would have spared the humiliation I brought upon myself.How could I feel this way for someone whom I had only talked to just once?Some people said that if you're y had been starved from romantic love for such a long time, then the littlest bit of what looked like it was going to have you swarming in a sea of fantasies and fairy tales.But was that what was happening to me? Was that why I seemed so helplessly affectionate everytime I saw him? Alexander Mckenzie— a man whom I had only had one decent conversation with.And was tripping all over
The workers and staff at Alexander Mckenzie's mansion were the most warm hearted people I had ever met.It was easy to tell that the man treated them with so much respect and it told with how much they paid their service to him and now, me with smiles on their faces and a warmness in their tone of voice."You're so beautiful," One of the women had said to me for about the hundredth time that evening and even though I was so exhausted, my smile came naturally and my eyes reciprocated appreciation.And really, I was so exhausted.People always told fancy stories about how their Wedding Night was going to be and how magical it was going to be for them and their significant others, but no one ever really talked about how much all you would really want to do is come back and slouch on the bed to doze off into a very deep sleep.As much as I would have loved to envision and daydream what a perfect wedding night would be like for me and Alexander…I thought more about sleep right now.But st
Waking up to Alexander was magical. Breathtakingly magical. In all honesty, I couldn't even bring myself to remember the last time that I was this happy. I had gotten up from bed initially, and in a space of a second where I was just adjusting to my wake, I had forgotten everything and anything and would have had a panic attack opening my eyes to fine skin and silky jet black hair. And then, I remembered I was married. The realization brought a sweet smile to my face. I stood up from bed first, smiling to myself as I looked away from Alexander who was sleeping softly like an angel. With a sigh, I stretched out, eyes roaming the room as a feeling of curiousity started to linger forth in me. I suddenly wanted to wander all around this big mansion, for the fun of getting to know my new home. "Where to, my love?" I was just on my way towards the door when suddenly, Alexander's voice come behind me. I stopped on my track and looked behind to the man whom I thought was actually deep
Can I kiss you?" Darlene's pretty eyes flustered before me, the glow in them brightening more than ever, and God knows she was the prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen that way.Her skin, under the sunlight, was as white as snow, and the golden hue cast a fine shadow upon it. She looked like milk. Very beautiful, very dainty, the most gorgeous thing ever. And the sexiest too.No woman had ever been so bold enough to make the first move before me.So, having her ask to kiss me, excited a nerve deep within me and at that moment, the things I wanted to do to her—"Afternoon, Mr an Mrs Mckenzie."We were interrupted by a new voice, and on cue, Darelene and I had our heads turning to the woman in front of us.Instantly, I was able to tell that it was one of the Picnic staffs. The plain white shirt and blue trousers she had on— which I was certain was their uniform— was right in front of our faces, struggling with that bright grin on her tab face, for attention."Afternoon," Darelene wa
DARLENEOur picnic was a success and afterward, Alexander and I insisted on having a walk, on my request.He was truly the sweetest. Everything about the man was a turn on for me, and never really had I met someone who was very much eager to have things done my way. Alexander redefined a lot of standards for me and that was one thing I really loved about him.Hand in hand, we walked through the field and all the tranquility and serenity that abounded between usnmae our silence to be comfortable and not awkward."I should have married you long before now," He said to me.I laughed, flattered."Well, to be honest, years before now, getting married was not really in my bucket list," I told him. Not like it was in it when my Dad had forced me to get married even.But hey… it was not such a bad idea."Hm," He noted. "So, what was in your bucket list?""Well, so many other people things," I told him. "Like, starting a band," I laughed as I told him, waving it off in dismissal, but he didn't
DARLENE Alexander fauked to show back up to our date. I'd hate to admit that I found it beyond disappointing how he did not even have the decency to hit me up with a call or a message as heads up.The guard had come for me alright, just as he said that he would unstruct them to. But, the part of his promise where he said that he would be back for me, so that we could continue what we already started, he failed to keep that.So all through out the afternoon and to the earky hours of the evening, all I did was sit there in the bedroom, and stare at the ceiling. Worry gripped me. I wanted to be offended that he didn't say anything to me after he left abruptly, but my fear for his well being and the anxiety that crippled me, wondering what must have been so urgent, who it concerned, how it connected to him and if he was safe, made it difficult for me to even be angry at him.I tried calling, but all to no avail.So there I sat on our giant sized bed in our chambers, awaiting the return o
DARLENEI couldn't believe that it had barely been twenty four hours since I had moved in here with my 'husband' and a start which I had thought to be the beginning of something wonderful, was quickly taking a sour turn.I stayed away from him, and unfortunately, thanks to the guards that stood all around the fucking mansion for my safety, I could not even go far enough as I would have wanted from him."Great." My sarcasm rolled of my tongue, without ease as I sat somewhere — I didn't even know where the fuck it was supposed to be — and quietly seethed in my own anger.I hated that I couldn't at least pretend like I was not angry. I had barely settled in with Alexander, and we had not even completed out first date and the Alpha st thing I could do is get angry at him.Still, no matter how much I scoled myself within, I didn't get less angry. I hated that I coukd not feel any other way than offended. I also hated that even when I was seething like this, he had so much control over me.
Alexander"Darlene is not happy with me."I chipped that in, in the midst of our silence. With hands on the wheel and blood on heads, I felt like I needed to let my brother know the truth behind calling him here. One thing about Frederick was that he trusted like a fool. I mean, yes, I am his brother, but I just called him out of the blue, late at night, and asked him to come with me on a drive, completely failing to let him know where our destination was going to be.And he just followed me."Did you hear me?" I asked when he didn't retaliate.Immediately, he jumped slightly, pulled out the air pods from his ears and looked towards me. I knew he did not hear me. I repeated myself again."My wife is mad at me."Frederick looked at me, his eyes registering concern, confusion, and worry for an iota of a second. His brows were furrowed, a sign that made it clear to me that he was indeed worried.Or maybe I concluded too soon.Because the very second that I actually thought my wacko lunat
