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.
Chapter 15It took me a while to lapse back into consciousness. But I did all I could. I tried my best and I still couldn’t get in.I’m more brilliant than Tiana is. How could She get in and I didn’t.I want to cry but I couldn’t. Right now, I just want to get wasted and forget this ever happened.I stood up from the bed and wore my slippers and exit the room.I practically staggered downstairs. The maids looked at me weirdly but I just ignored them.I signaled to Jacob who was seated outside and he hurriedly rushed over to me and opened the door for me. He got into the driver’s seat and turned back to look at me.“Where should I take you to?” He asked.“Just drive” I said sternly and he nodded and drove out of the house.During the drive, I just kept thinking about the rejection letter. I just want to forget about it. It’s driving me crazy.“Stop here” I said when we got to the front of a bar. This is where I want to be right now.“Huh, this is a bar?”“Oh you are saying I’m blind?”
Chapter 16 I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room. I was laying on something hard and it was pretty comforting.Wait!I jumped off the bed and looked beside me to see a shirtless Hayden asleep on the bed. My eyes widened when I realized I was laying on his chest.“Hayden!” I screamed and he got up from the bed.“Why are you naked and why am I sleeping on you??”“Huh, we share the same room and bed” he uttered.“Thank you for reminding me” I rolled my eyes.“Why are you naked?” I asked shooting daggers at him.He was about to answer and I looked at myself and realized I was in my pajamas.“Haaaa” I screamed.“What is it?” Hayden asked confusedly.“You took advantage of me. How could you?” I yelled.“Calm down young lady. I didn’t take advantage of you.”“Then how come I am in my pajamas?” I inquired“I wore it on you yesternight”“So you saw me naked?”“Yeah?”“You freak!” I yelled throwing a pillow at him.“Why are you making it sound like it’s a big deal” he shrugged.“
Chapter 50FINAL CHAPTER. BRITTANY’S POV.Hayden and I left for Dubai two days after my birthday. It have been fun of course.Exploring the country, date night, going to the movies and lots of fun things.We are currently on the bed of the hotel we lodged in. We were naked as we just finished a hot section of love making. Hayden and I both agreed not to have a baby yet because of my education.We would start up a family when I graduate. He was fine with it and I was too.My phone started ringing and I told Hayden to pass my phone to me.It was my mom and I picked it and placed it on my ear.“Hello mom”“Brit, i’m sorry for disturbing you...”“You are not. What happened. Your voice doesn’t sound too good”“Your dad...” she mumbled.“Did he hit you again” I frowned.“Yes...”“He should be taken to jail for domestic violence. Mom, I know you are going to say he will change but I’m not even sure he will.”“No...no... I left the house. I’m filling for a divorce. Your dad is influential.
Chapter 49SEMI FINAL.BRITTANY’s POV. TWO MONTHS LATER... It was the last day of the first semester exam. I was excited.Finally going on a break after a whole semester stress. I would be seeing Ezra and Tiana today. They finished their own exams last week and would be arriving today. We would meet up tomorrow.After answering all the questions, I left the exam hall happily.Brenda and Andy were done already and were waiting for me outside.Brenda started talking to me after Andy asked her out on a date.They have been going out but haven’t started dating which I know they eventually will.“How was it?” Andy asked.“All I know is that I’m starving right now”“Let’s go and eat” Brenda said.“Yes please” I nodded.At the eatery, I told them about my friends in Harvard.“We are hanging out tomorrow. Will you join?” I asked.“Yeah sure” they both said at the same time and looked at themselves and smiled.“Okay then. Will text you the location this night” I told them.******That migh
Chapter 48HAYDEN’S POV.My joy knew no bound when the doctor informed me Brittany have woken up.I rushed to her ward and she was seated on the bed.I went to sit beside her.“Hayden...” she said softly.“How are you feeling”“Light” she replied.“Lie down.”“I’m okay like this. I’m fine” she said and I kissed her forehead.“I thought I lost you” I said.“You can’t” she utters with a smile.“What happened?” She asked and I explained everything to her.“I never knew she hated me” she said.“Me too. I fired the rest of the maids”“Wait, what?”“If nana can plot to kill you, we don’t know what the rest have in mind” I explained and she nodded in understanding.“I badly want to see that Nana and give her the beatings of her life” she gritted her teeth.“She is in the custody of the police. Don’t worry. She would get the punishment she deserves”“She better” “When will I be discharged?” She asked.“This evening”“Thank Goodness” she utters and shifted to my side resting on my chest.“Wha
Chapter 47LAYLA’S POV“That wasn’t part of the plan, what’s wrong with you?” Heidi shouted at me when I told her about my visit to Hayden’s house”“I just couldn’t control myself. I have to tell him how I feel.”“Now where has it led you to? No where” she said shaking her head in disappointment.“He doesn’t love me” I utters.“Thought you knew that” Heidi said and I eyed her.“It just hurts hearing him say that”Heidi came to sit beside me and held my hand.“I know you get whatever you want. I know you to be the type that never gives up. But Hayden is married and is clearly deeply in love with his wife. Okay, let’s look at it this way. Our initial plan of hurting Brittany if you hadn’t gone to Hayden’s house and confessed to him ruining everything, if we have succeeded, that doesn’t still guarantee Hayden loving you” she said and surprisedly, what she said made sense.“And I think what Hayden said about you been obsessed with him is true”I looked at her and she looked away scared of
Chapter 46HAYDEN’S POVTWO DAYS LATER...Brittany haven’t woken up neither was I allowed to see her and it’s really frustrating. The doctor kept on assuring me she would be fine but I’m not seeing any improvement.I just left the hospital after talking to the doctor and he said they are trying their best to treat her. I’m currently at home.My phone started ringing. It was Layla. I contemplated whether to pick it or not and finally did when it was about to finish ringing and muttered a silent “hello”“Hey Hayden, i’m in front of your house. Inform your gatekeeper to let me in”“My house. What are you doing here?”“Aren’t we friends again. Common”I dropped the call and called the gatekeeper to allow her in.She entered shortly and looked around the living room and finally at me who was siting on the couch.“Sorry for the impromptu meeting. Came to check up on you since you haven’t been at work for two days now” she said coming to sit on the couch beside me.“Took some days off”“Whe
Chapter 45LAYLA’S POV “It seems hard! It just seem hard and it’s so annoying” I complained to Heidi.I’m currently in her apartment because I badly need someone to talk to. “Brittany isn’t so easy to handle. She is rude. She talks back and I won’t lie, she scares me” I said frowning.“You are still close with Hayden right? Why don’t you sleep with him and make sure you get pregnant and pin it on him” Heidi suggested.“Easier said than done. This guy doesn’t even look at me. Doesn’t give me the chance to get close to him. It seems that stupid Brittany bewitched him” I gritted my teeth.Heidi looks at me. “Why don’t you just give up. There are other men outside who you can get at a snap of a finger. Why are you still chasing after Hayden if he doesn’t love you”I gave her a look. “Really? I thought you could come up with a solution. Coming here was a bad idea” I uttered and made to carry my bag and leave but Heidi stopped me.“Calm down baby. I didn’t mean that” she said and I roll
Chapter 44BRITTANY’S POV (Some days later...) “But Hayden, it’s too expensive” I said.“It’s not, nothing is too expensive to get for you” he uttered.We are currently at a boutique shopping for clothes. Hayden spotted a gown worth a thousand dollars and insisted on getting it for me. It’s worth the prize but I still find it too expensive.“But...”He cuts me off. “No complains. Go try it on” he said pushing me into the dressing room.“Fine!” I raised my hand up in surrender and entered the dressing room.After 10 minutes, I finally came out. Hayden was seated already, his phone is his hand.“Hayden” I called nervously and he raised his head up to look at me.“Wow” he utters and walked up to me.“Red is definitely your color” he complimented.It’s an armless red gown with diamond stones on it.“It looks good on you. “ he said and I blushed. You are definitely taking it and you are not saying no” He added“I hear you, Mr Wyatt” I snickered, a smile on my face. We ended up with five
Chapter 43BRITTANY’S POV Walking away from the elevator, I couldn’t help but think about Layla words. How come she works here and I never got to know about it. And Hayden didn’t tell me about it.“You never asked” my sub conscious said.I decided not to think about her words. Not like she can do anything.I got to his office and met with the secretary.“Where is your boss?”“In a meeting” She answered without looking at me.I said nothing and walked towards the direction of his office.She stopped me before I could enter.“I’m sorry. Who are you?” She asked.“His wife” I answered.She looked at me as if observing my face.“I’m sorry but you would have to wait here till he is done” she said.“I just told you I’m his wife” I rolled my eyes.“I have to do my job”“Then get ready to find a new one” I said.Her eyes widened in fear. “I’m sorry. So so sorry. You can enter” she rushed her words and I smirked.“Good” I said and entered the office.It was big and of course spacious. I walke
Chapter 42*BRITTANY’S POV* I woke up in Hayden’s arms and a smile appeared on my face. I remembered last night. I can’t believe I actually did give Hayden my virginity.“What’s my beautiful wife thinking about this early morning?” I heard Hayden’s voice and I raised my head up a bit to see him staring at me.“Last night” I replied biting my lower lip. “Can’t stop thinking about it too” he said making my heart skip a bit. I gulped down nothing and made to stand up from the bed but Hayden drags me back making me land on his chest.“Where to?” He asked.“I need to prepare for school and you should prepare for work also” I said.“I don’t get a morning kiss?”“I haven’t brush” I rolled my eyes.“I don’t care”He made to kiss me but I turned my neck and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom laughing.I am still feeling slight pains beneath my legs but it wasn’t as severe as yesterday night. After having my bath, I dressed up and Hayden went to the bathroom for his bath.I was in the bedroom
