Pascal’s POV:

I sat in my office and examined the engagement ring I bought for Sandra.

My earlier conversation with Neil was not what I expected but I was going to do just what he said, I would follow my heart. But first I needed to make her understand that life with me would not always be a chore.

Truthfully I am not as strict as I am with her as I was in my other relationships. I know how to pamper a woman, I am great at anticipating their needs and delivering before they ask. But one too many times I have been played for fools because of it. Then I met Sandra, she was all smiles and waves as she welcomed me and a friend into the restaurant where she was waiting tables.

My friend had been making passes at her and she returned the vibe in equal fervor but was quick to draw the line when he suggested they meet up later in his hotel room to seal the deal.

I remembered how she threw her head back and laughed at my friend, telling him if wishes were horses. My friend of course was mi

    Sandra’s POV:I sat with a sigh in my room, then carried my aching head in my hands. The tears I thought were done came again, why this was hurting me so much is not really a mystery. The pains I thought I had overcome and buried years ago resurfaced with this event today.FlashbackI had just turned nineteen and the whole world was my backyard. Pretty brown skinned girl with an amazing figure, great hair, great skin and perfect dentition. I was probably every boy’s fantasy on the street, and I relished every second of the attention I was receiving.Then he caught my attention. And I caught him.He was from a rich home, his name was Justin and he was an older guy. Twenty four whole years and he was a fine specimen, I deemed him worthy of me and my reputation so I offered no resistance when he asked me out for coffee.That day I was out with my usual biker skirt and crop top, got to show off the beauty that God created, he walked up to me from his range rover across the street. And tha

    The memory brought a sad laugh to me, I began laughing like a lunatic. I gripped my sides as I laughed so hard at my stupidity back then.Kelly had rushed to cover herself with Justin’s shirt as she explained to me that it was not what I thought. That she was helping me keep my man, that this was how she was going to know things to help me keep my man that she only wanted what was best for me.All the while as she spoke I was locked in a heated staring contest with Justin, he did not look sorry now that I thought about it. He looked bored.I remembered asking him what this was about and he had said I was not meeting up to his expectations, that my friend Kelly was just helping him hold his interest in me. And I should be grateful I had a friend like her.That was all I needed to have the scales fall from my eyes. I was indeed a very stupid girl, child even. And I turned around and walked away without saying another word. I dropped the package I prepared unconsciously and I kept walkin

    Sandra’s POV:I woke up a bit groggy, the pain in my head was now a full blown headache. Zina, my darling friend, had a glass of water next to me with some pills I was guessing would be aspirin. I took them and smiled at what she said about her knowledge of hiding a body or unaliving someone.Zina was just a darling friend.“I don’t know which would be more satisfying, you killing him or me doing the job myself.” I said to Zina who squeezed my hand that she grabbed it.“Well I can still hold a torch while you get to it, what did that knucklehead do this time around to make you cry? Usually you rant but you never cry.” Zina said and pointed out the fact that I did not cry. Well, this one warranted more than tears.“He was playing with me all this while.” I said quietly to Zina who gasped.“No, that can’t be true. I overheard his conversation with my husband. He wants to marry you. He was asking Neil for advice on something, I did not catch that part, not like I was eavesdropping on pur

    Neil’s POV:My day was truly filled with meetings back to back and I also got my wish, I did not have time to think about my wife, that is until now that the car was turning into my driveway. I was finally going to see her after a whole day of not checking in on her or hearing from her.When I stepped into the house I just knew that she was either not home or she was taking a late nap. So I went to her room and found it void of her presence, but her wardrobe was left open. Some things were left hanging haphazardly. It was obvious that she picked a few things before she left wherever she went.I sighed as I sat on her bed, was this what I was going to be dealing with for the next two months plus? Was every fight with her going to end with her returning to her apartment and me going after her? Was this what I had to be doing for the foreseeable future? Could they fight and make up like a normal couple? I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. At least she should give me the benefi

    Pascal's POV: There was a trope of elephants having a jamboree in my head. Even the slightest movement was filled with pain. What on earth did I consume last night? The rush of memory came with another rush of pain. I remembered messing up yesterday night's proposal to Sandra, she was not taking my calls. I called Neil and we had a pity party, or better put, I had a pity party with him. He fed me and gave me brandy. Yep, there was the culprit. I managed to raise my head but my brain rattled from the movement. Dear Lord I will never get this drunk again, probably a lie but a good thought. I turned and saw a cup of water covered with some pills in a container. I hoped it was not poison and quickly downed it because I needed a little relief, even if it was momentary. The water sliding down my throat reminded my body that I was thirsty. So I took a hold of the pitcher that was next to the originally covered cup and drank it whole. My head felt better for it. When the trope of elephants

    Zina's POV:I woke feeling lethargic, with absolutely no energy or motivation to leave this particular spot. Mentally I was tired, physically? Definitely much more tired. But when I took in my environment, I found the energy and motivation that was lacking earlier in serious quantity.How did I get home?The memories came. Someone was knocking or banging the apartment door with a vengeance. I remember hearing a thud, signifying that someone fell off, of course it would be Sandra. Then I rolled and pain jarred me temporarily awake, but I did not move. The person knocking did not seem to take the hint so Sandra grumpily went to check. I had to force myself off the floor, falling asleep on the floor did not sound like a good idea, my body would not appreciate the after effects of that decision.I had finally pulled myself off the floor and onto the bed when I heard Sandra yelling something.“Come get your crazy ass husband before I make you a very attractive widow!” Sandra yelled to me.

    The dinner had been at an average but high end restaurant. I had taken a cab to go and meet Jeffery. I declined when he said he would come pick me up. The money Gabriel brought that morning would pay for dinner and get them a room should the need arise. Everything was beginning to look like it would fall into place.The dinner itself was uneventful, I just listened to Jeffrey and pretended to be sad from time to time, he felt it was his responsibility to cheer me up. Poor lamb, love indeed made fools of the best of men, if I wanted to, and I wanted to, I would have him eating out of my hands. Time to play coy and invite him to the hotel room. Gabriel was going to be mad but as he always said, money needed to be made."Jeffrey, I know it is a lot of presumption on my part, but can you stay with me tonight? I do not want to be alone. You can totally say no of course, I just want to hold. It has been so long." I said to Jeffrey and looked away, like I was embarrassed by what I just said

    Zina’s POV:“You really know how to ruin a surprise.” I said dryly to Kathy who this time around screamed but opened the door widely for me to step in. Sandra was already on her feet when I stepped in. She had tears in her eyes.“Babe, if that make up isn’t waterproof don’t even think about it. I am here to walk you down that aisle to your happily ever after, think you can hold it all in till we are done?” I said to her and opened my arms to give her the hug we both needed. The tears now flow, I was grateful Neil forced me to come. I would not have traded this feeling for anything.We held on to each other until the other girls joined us in our hug. We saw some flashing lights and looked to see the wedding photographer.“I’m sorry, I could not help it. This was too precious to pass up. Wait, I just got an idea. We will do this outside, don’t worry we won’t mess anything up.” The photographer said in a rush but I was not paying any attention to her. I was fixated on my best friend who

    Neil’s POV:The PI had to work with Matt and Ian and I did not care, I wanted answers which were pretty easy. The idiot’s name was Jeffrey. I of course remembered him but I could care less about him at the time, he was after Megan and she thought to use it to stir some jealous shit but it failed woefully because I never called him to order or ordered him away from Megan, it infuriated her to no end.So she ended up using him to get to one of the people I loved deeply. Yes, I was admitting that I loved my wife.They had tracked Jeffrey to the flimsy hideout he carved for himself, I say flimsy because it was not difficult to track him. Gabriel of course had skipped town but he was found eventually, and the lady of the hour was picked up from her apartment. She kept screaming that she never meant to hurt me, that Zina was the target. Like that was going to help?Anyway Zina had been by my side all through. My parents have moved to my place temporarily to help them commute to work easier.

    Neil’s POV:I woke up feeling immensely tired, like I was run over by a truck. I blinked to try to recognize where I was. I was still in the hospital ward. I remember waking up earlier and I saw Zina who was running around, then some doctors came in.I sighed and turned to see a passed out Zina on the couch, how long she had been there was a mystery to me but I could tell that she had not been sleeping well, even the dim light could not hide the exhaustion from her face.She needed more sleep. Just then the door to the room opened and a nurse peeked in before trying to quietly step in, she did a good job of being quiet until she was next to my bed and saw that I was awake. She gasped but not loud enough to wake Zina.“Sir, you are awake. Let me call the doctor real quick.” She said to me and I nodded my head but I cast a significant look at her and thank goodness she understood and did not make any noise or wake Zina up. The doctor soon came in and after quietly examining me she told

    Zina’s POV:Neil was supposed to wake up yesterday according to what the doctor said, but here he is, still lying there and not yet awake. I am really trying not to lose my head, this is becoming overwhelming as the hours pass by. I have seen too many movies and the worst case scenario kept playing in my head. What if he never woke up?What if they declared him brain dead?What if he became a vegetable?Did the last two not mean the same thing?Oh my gosh!I massaged my temple as I felt the beginning of a headache. “Please Neil, just wake up, please just wake up.” I said in my head and lifted my head to see that he was still in the same position. The door opened after a brief knock, a nurse stepped in with some towels.“Good morning ma’am, I am here to wash up Mr. Honduras. May I proceed?” the nurse asked me and I nodded my head. I stood up and stayed at a distance where I was sure that I would not interrupt her or block her movements and watched wipe him down with a towel, soap and

    Zina’s POV:I followed the doctor with bated breaths, not really knowing what to expect but I was just glad that I was finally getting to see him. This was not my plan for the day, this was not my plan for any day. The meetings I was rushing out for seem so trivial right now. As we approached the door I felt the hand that I had been clutching unconsciously squeeze mine back. I looked up and saw my mother in-law give me a reassuring smile through the tears that filled her eyes. I nodded my head, bracing myself for this. The door opened and my eye zeroed in on the only bed in the room. The tears I thought were giving me a break came out, I could not control it. I didn't even want to, lying there looking pale with bandage wrapped around his body and wires hooked up to machines was my husband.There was a bandage wrapped around his head, his lip was burst at two places and it was a disturbing color of blue. From the amount of movies I had seen I was glad that the machines were beeping, m

    Sandra’s POV:As soon as we arrived at the hospital, some men in suits immediately surrounded the vehicle and opened the door on Pascal’s side. Pascal turned to me, completely ignoring the madness that was the paparazzi. This was the first time I was experiencing them and this was crazy to say the least. From the ones receiving the news updates this was a favor, but to the families involved this was a major nuisance.“No matter what happens, do not let go of this hand and always follow where I tug you to. Do not answer any questions, do not say anything to them. And as much as possible keep your head down. Ready?” Pascal asked me and I nodded, I just wanted to get this show on the road.I nodded and he took my hand in a firm grip.He came down first, waited for me and took his own instructions. He did not say anything to any of them, he kept a firm grip on my hand and kept a steady pull until we got to the hospital entrance where they were banned from entering.“Where are they?” I hea

    Zina’s POV:I was already heading out of the doorway but I was so focused on my phone, the girls were giving me reasons to regret not coming with them. They looked to be having so much fun, even the video of them attempting scrubber diving was so hilarious. I was about to scroll to the next video when I looked up and saw Neil’s car parked in front of the entrance instead of my designated car.What was going on?My question was going to be directed to the person that could answer it, I turned and saw Matt walking towards me. He looked uncomfortable.“Good morning Matt, where is my ride?” I asked him with a smile which he smirked in return to.“Boss went for a drive early in the morning. I think he got the day off or something, so he instructed that we ensure his princess got to work safely. And since he took your car I figured he would not mind you stepping in to work today in style.” Matt said and I rolled my eyes, ever since that picture of us surfaced on the internet he has not miss

    Zina’s POV:I was two weeks into resuming work and roughly two weeks to the end of my contract with Neil. I was getting depressed as the days went by, I do not know how my heart went and fell for a man that did not want it. And aside from some guarded conversations, we did not spend as much time as I would have wanted. He was immersed in so much work these days and I was left to my own devices.My table was cleared. I was waiting for the afternoon reports so I could work on those as well. On the bright side I was getting reviews from my team. They loved how I worked, how I was giving them short breaks in between. Of course I have asked them not to be too comfortable, rush months are around the corner.I relaxed into my seat and I suddenly felt horrible again. In a matter of weeks I was going to be kissing all of this goodbye. No more Mrs. Honduras, no more special treatments. No more Neil, which was the part that stung the most. I would no longer have the access I have to him right no

    Zina’s POV:“I swear he took me by surprise that day. I just never took him for one for public displays of affection, of course the gossip blogs took it up and praised him for not being ashamed to show the world that he loved his wife. I don't even know why we are making the headlines. There are other rich couples out there.” I said to Sandra who encouraged me to abuse my privilege as the boss’s wife and meet up before it was time for the lunch break.“Well not all couples consist of Neil Honduras. What about your mother-in-law? Has she shared any tips on how to survive the madness in the early days?” Sandra asked me and I smiled. My mother in-law was meeting us up for lunch, well me but I was not ready to dismiss Sandra.“Yes, she called me yesterday. I am supposed to meet her for lunch but you are staying because you too will soon be the wife of a CEO. Guess your dream of being a housewife is finally coming to be.” I said to her and she shamelessly raised her tea cup for a toast.“A
