Chapter 7*BRITTANY’S POV*Some minutes later, I was done and I came out of the bathroom and opened my wardrobe.I took my pajamas and wore it. I retired to my bed and carried my phone.My eyes widened when I saw five missed calls from EZRA.I scrunched my brows in confusion. Why is he calling me? I asked myself.I contemplated whether to call him back or not and decided not to. I laid on my bed expecting him to call back but he didn’t.I didn’t know when I slept off.**THE NEXT DAY...I woke up feeling extremely weak and my head was banging.I managed to get up from my bed and touched my forehead.I got down from the bed and limped out of my room. Immediately I left my room, I fell on the floor and lost consciousness.*******I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. This is definitely not my room. I stood up when I saw my mom walking in.“Baby, how are you?” She asked, a worried look plastered on her face.“Where am I?” I asked instead ignoring her question.“The hospita
Chapter 8He started moving his face closer to mine and I gulped down nothing. His lips were about touching mine I heard a crashing sound and I widened my eyes on seeing Ezra been pushed to the wall.He made a painful groan and I turned to see who pushed him.“Dolly!” I looked shocked on seeing her. How did she get the strength to push him that hard.“I don’t want to see you with my boyfriend” she glared at me angrily.“Boyfriend?” I arched my brows and moved my gaze to Ezra who also looked shocked to see Dolly.“I’m not your boyfriend” Ezra gritted his teeth.“Of course you are. You asked me out, remember “ dolly said.“You literally did and I’m not interested in you. I don’t love you” he uttered.“But you love her” she squeezed her face in disgust. “You love someone you can’t be with. Someone who is nothing but a whore. Someone who is...”Her words were cut off when I slapped her hard across the face.“I can take anything from you but don’t you ever call me a whore. I’m not like you
Chapter 9On getting to the church, I realized how nervous I am. I was scared to even enter the church.“Just take a chill pill. It will be fine” Tiana assured me.“I’m not scared. I am fine” I said nervously while Tiana just stared at me and squeezed my hand softly.**The door to the church opened and the bridal chorus started to play. Down the aisle I came. I held a French rose silk bouquet. My dad held my left arm and smiled at me as we reached the bottom step.There waiting is the pastor and my husband to be. Tch! I can’t deny the fact he looked stunning but he kept a straight face.He wore a black, single-breasted,satin tuxedo with a white wing collar shirt.My dad removed his hand from mine while I stood in front of Hayden.His eyes were on me but his concentration isn’t. I scoffed and looked at the priest waiting for him to just get this over with.*“Do you Hayden take Brittany as your wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward , for better for worse, for richer,
Chapter 10I walked around the room checking everything out while Hayden was in the bathroom. “Why will he paint the room brown?” I scoffed. He doesn’t have taste at all.Few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom wearing a singlet and a short.I walked past him and went to the bathroom. I was wowed when I entered the bathroom. I removed my clothes and got under the shower. When I was done, I took the blue towel on the hanger and wrapped it round my body. I went into the closet.My clothes was arranged already at the right while his were at the left. He scoffed. He has lots of suits and tuxedos.“Such a boring man” I huffed and was about to take my pajamas when my eyes widened.I am going to be sleeping in the same room with Hayden. Wearing my pajamas is really dangerous.I took a white turtle neck and blue jeans and wore it. I smiled satisfactory and left the closet and entered the room.Hayden was on the bed operating his laptop. Does this guy have respect at all.Working on ou
Chapter 11I looked at him unbelievably.“Better stop dreaming” “You need to wake up too because you are never getting a new room” he said and walked to the bathroom. Argh. He just love getting on my nerve. I rubbed my tummy and skipped to the dining room. I was halfway through the meal Wednesday Hayden joined me. He already had his bath. He said nothing to me and just started eating.I ignored him too. I imagined how it would have being having dinner with a guy I truly love and marry. Feeding ourselves, cracking jokes, laughter etc not with this cocky man who only knows how to work.“So unfortunate” I said rather loudly and Hayden looked at me questionably.I scoffed and continued eating.LATER THAT NIGHT.“Don’t tell you are going to sleep like this too today?” He inquired looking at my dressing not satisfied.“It really isn’t ur business” i shot at him.“Yeah It isn’t. Goodnight” he said surprising me. Why isn’t he arguing with me? Whatever. I slept beside him leaving enough sp
Chapter 12“What do you want?” I asked with a shaky voice.“Money” the voice replied.“Sure. I will give you” I opened my purse and brought out dollar bills and stretch it to him.I still can’t see him as he is at my back. He collected it and disappeared immediately while I heaved a sigh of relief.I walked more faster and in no time, I found a cab.I got home and paid the cab man. I knocked on the gate.“Who is that?” I heard the gate keeper voice.“It’s me. Open up” I said sternly and the gate opened.“Where have you been?” He asked.“And who gave you the right to question me?” I frowned at him.“Boss came back a long time ago and have been looking for you. He left a while ago to look for you”“Will you open the door for me or you will continue blabbing?” I inquired.“I’m sorry” he apologized and made me enter.I went straight to my room ignoring the guards and maids stared and went to the bathroom immediately.I took my bath and wore a blue shirt and bum short.I got back to the r
Chapter 13“Uhm Hayden” I started and he just looked at me saying nothing.“I am ...uhm..” I scratch my hair finding it hard to say.“I guess you aren’t ready” he said turning to leave and I hurriedly stopped him by holding his arm.“I..I am sorry about yesterday. I went out with my best friend and lost track of time. That was why I came home late. I’m also sorry for snapping at you. I was wrong, I admit”Damn! That was so hard to say.He looked at me as his facial expression changed and then at my hands on his arms. I quickly released my hand and gulped down nothing.“It’s fine. Just allow Jacob take you anywhere you want to go” He finally said.“Aye aye sir” I raised my hand up dramatically.“So why didn’t you go to work today?” I asked curiously.“Want to spend...uhm, I have some work to do” he replied and I just nodded.*******Hayden and I had breakfast together and it was kind of awkward until I decided to break the silence.“I am going to the library today” I started.He doesn’
Chapter 14“So you apologized to him” Tiana said on phone.“Yeah”“So you guys are cool now”“I guess” I sighed remembering what happened yesterday and how I talked to him. When I woke up in the morning, he had disappeared again.“Now tell me the juicy part”“What juicy part?” I rolled my eyes.“Don’t tell me you guys didn’t kiss or something”“We didn’t”“Such a boring couple”“I know, right” I agreed.“I have to go now. My mom needs me. Argh!, needs to get the fuck out of this house as soon as possible. Always ordering me around” she groaned.“When you gain admission into Harvard, you will be free as a bird” I said.“Yeah, can’t wait. Talk to ya later” she ended the call.I dropped my phone and laid on the bed ready to take a long nap.I really can’t wait to get into Harvard. Here is so boring.*********THE NEXT DAY....I woke up feeling more energetic and got off the bed. I checked the wall clock and my eyes widened in seeing the time is 8am.How could I have slept for so long.
