Chapter Thirty-two

last update Last Updated: 2023-06-17 22:49:14
Why is everything so complicated now? I have always wished to get married and enjoy my marriage but now it seems I am destined to be in a contract marriage.

I sat down on the soft bed with one leg on the bed and the other leg hanging outside the bed with a pillow that I use in supporting my elbow.

The light was so bright that I didn't feel scared staying alone. I don't even know if I should accept to sign the contract with him. What if he changes at the cause of the contract?

What if he starts treating badly? Will I be able to endure till the contract is over? But why does he want a contract marriage? I thought he said he loves me, so why does he want a contract marriage instead of making it real?

A lot was going through my mind. I don't even know who to tell, but then I remembered my friend Sandra. I had to pick up my phone and call my friend. She was the only person whom I can confide in at this moment.

"Hello, Sandra."

"Zina, how are you doing?"

"I am doing well. Please,

    Today was a very busy day because I was doing too many things at a time since my secretary was nowhere to be found. I don't know her plans but I had to be patient. Immediately after I finished work, I quickly drove home to go and rest. I was very surprised when I met Zina in my house sitting down so comfortably. Megan was already standing with her hands on her waist and shaking her legs. I know she has a lot to ask me but I don't care. I was surprised because Zina has never been to my house. Zina looked like someone so prepared for Megan. I have never dressed like this before. "Stop looking like a lost sheep, what is this local girl doing in our house?""Our house?""Yes.""I can't remember building this castle with a woman. I single handedly did this for myself."I moved over to Zina. I was very shocked when she stood up and came to hug me. I also gave her a peck on her lips. I understood what she was trying to do and so I played along. Megan couldn't believe her eyes. She was so

    I was fuming all around the house, pacing from one end of the living room to another end. The whole issue was getting me crazy. How can the man I have loved sincerely abandon me just like that? "Why are you pacing around like someone that has no plans?""Mom, I am tired. How can Neil do this to me?""You brought this upon yourself. You had enough time to bring him to yourself but you have been careless about it""How mom? You have been with me and see the way I have been planning with George.""So how come Neil still went ahead to continue with that girl? Look something must be done, else you will lose him completely.""Mom, even if I lose him, I won't allow that girl to take over.""That is all you keep saying but I don't see you doing anything reasonable. There is no need to cry. We just have to tighten our belts and plan bigger. I feel so challenged today. How can that girl talk to us in that manner and Neil supported her.""I am beginning to suspect that she must have poisoned hi

    I didn't believe that Zina would be able to pick up the challenge and give it back to Megan. I always see her as someone that is very weak and fears people. But I am very surprised that she was able to challenge the two women. I am actually proud of her and I hope she will be able to continue like this. I can't keep on fighting for her, at least once in a while she should be able to fight for herself.I wish she was able to spend the night with me but she bluntly refused. I just noticed that she wasn't so desperate to be with me. If it was to be Megan, she would be so pleased to spend the night with me without being told. That was how she started living with me. She came to spend the night when I barely knew her and that was how she was leaving some of her things behind and bringing more to my house. I never saw anything in her till all these things started playing out. It is only a desperate woman that can be able to find her way through in a man's house without being told.I picke

    "How did work go today?""It was fine.""I can see you look so bright this evening. Did he surprise you with any gift?""Not at all.""So tell me what happened later. You visited him?""Yes, I did. You need to see the drama that went on that day in his house. Megan acted up like a very cheap and desperate lady, but I gave her levels this time.""Are you serious? Where did you get that boldness from?""Come on, stop it. What do you mean by that? I have always been bold but I was just taking my time to observe a lot of things so that I won't jump to conclusions.""Really? So what happened later?""She was so furious to see me. She never wanted to let me into the house.""Wait! Are you trying to tell me that she lives with him?""Yes.""That means you really need to act fast, if not she will throw you out.""She can't. She got frustrated and left to go and get her mother to fight for her. Her mother came and I challenged her too.""So why didn't she let you into the house in the first pl

    I already have my plans locked down. I know that Megan has no powers anymore to frustrate me. I also love the fact that Zina is now bold to challenge anyone. She is no longer scared of Megan. Now I know I have a woman who is very strong and could be able to oppose her opposition. I know we are all trying to act up just to prove Megan wrong in all that she has said in our absence, but the truth is that Zina is someone I can be able to stay with in the house. I am also surprised by the fact that she refused to stay with me the first time she came to my house and she never acted as if she had never been in such a house before. She was well composed that day and mannered unlike the first time Megan came into my house. She touched almost everything she saw and refused to go back to her mother that very day. I had to plead for her to go and stay with her mother, instead she called her mother on the phone and informed her that she wouldn't be coming back. I was very observant and from th

    "Who has been calling you since last night?""You would have told me that my phone was ringing. Instead of you questioning me to know who the caller was.""Megan, I am your mother and you are not supposed to talk to me in a very rude manner. Don't you have respect for your elders? The call was so much that it disturbed my sleep. Next time take your phone along with you inside your room. Do not leave it here in the living room. You know I normally stay here every night.""But mom, you have a room right?""So what are you trying to insinuate?""I am not trying to say anything but you have a room. Room is meant for sleeping while the living room is just meant for relaxation.""Oh! Really? My lecturer continues please. Go ahead to lecture me. You now have a new ride, right?""What do you mean?""We have a plan towards Neil but it seems you have found someone better and richer.""Yes, I think I am beginning to lose interest in Neil besides this new person is very rich. He has a factory, no

    There came a knock on my door. "Yes, come in.""Sir, some of the computer systems are not working anymore." I raised my head to look at who was in my office only to discover that the head of the technical department visited my office to complain for the first time. "The computer systems are not working and that was why I employed you as the chief over the technical department. Are you trying to say that it is above your powers?""Yes sir, I have tried everything possible but it is not working. Six computer systems have just shut down and I have tried to find out what the problem was and it is not working."I became very furious. They know I hate hearing such. "I am disappointed in you. How can you be in charge and things will get spoiled. You know we have a lot to do and I am preparing for a meeting. Everything must be in order.""I understand sir, it is nobody's fault." The fact that he made that statement got me offended. I was not happy. "Get out of my sight." He quickly left my

    I ordered what I wanted. He doesn't seem angry at the cost of what I wanted. He is truly wealthy and money is the least of his problems. When the order came, I ate gently in a romantic manner and was using my side eyes to watch him. "What about yours? Won't you order something?""Don't worry, enjoy yourself. They know my usuals and it will be here soon." Wow! So this means he does come here all the time for them to even know what he wants. Soon one of the waitresses carrying a white tray walked up to us and dropped it on the table in front of him. "Thank you." I looked at the tray but it was sealed. How come they sealed his own but mine was exposed for everyone to see. I was not treated like a queen. When he opened it, I was surprised to see that it was just wine and a glass cup laid beside the bottle. I was wondering why it was covered as if there was something special. "The way you are looking at this bottle of wine shows your expression.""Yeah! I am surprised.""About what?"

    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
