CHAPTER 21

Samuel was standing at the door with a medical attendant by his side. The look on his face told me that I was in trouble.“Why the hell are you doing here?” He asked, shouting at the top of his voice.I stood up abruptly and stammered.“I……. I came to see Mom”.“How dare you?” He yelled again, making me take a step backward.I remained mute as usual. I refused to regret my actions and applauded myself for a job well done.“Get out of here, back to where you came from this minute, and don't ever show yourself stupid self till further notice”.I picked up my bag from the floor, tucked my hair behind my ear, and walked out of the room. Sammie and the medical attendant proceeded into the room and started discussing in low tones, I stopped walking abruptly and came back curious to hear what they were saying.I peeped and saw the medical attendant trying to inject the same yellowish substance into Mom's drip bag. I don't know why something inside of me was feeling suspicious about it but I

CHAPTER 22

I hesitated before picking up Adrian's call wondering why he was calling me. Funnily, this is the first time Adrian has called me since we got married.“Hello”. I muttered holding the phone close to my ear.“Jenny, get ready you are joining me here in California. There is an important event I need to attend and you must be present. As a matter of fact, you have the next one hour to be here and your flight is in twenty minutes”.And just like that, he ended the call. I sat there dumbfounded for a few seconds trying to digest what Adrian told me. Then suddenly, the statement “your flight is in 20 minutes” rang in my head, making me snap back to reality.I flew to my room and jumped under the shower; of course, I had to take a quick bath to smell fresh. Afterward, I brought out my traveling bag from the wardrobe; it was pink in color with the perfect girly vibe. I threw a few official clothes in it and added a dinner dress, hoping I would wear it to the event. I packed up other necessary

CHAPTER 23

After much thinking, I decided to attend to my phone first, then the door, and lastly, my headache. When I glanced at the caller and saw Adrian's name I quickly deduced that he was the one at the door. My gaze quickly diverted to the wall clock and my eyes almost popped out of their socket. What! It was past the time for the event.I rushed to the door to open it, but on second thought, I decided to peep through the door hole first. What I saw scared me to my marrow; Adrian was standing outside sweating profusely and banging on the door in anger; some of the hotel workers were with him, trying to calm him down. I took a step backward in fear, I had never seen Adrian so enraged.The only reason I was able to summon up courage and open the door was because of the workers who were with him outside. At least they would protect me if he tried anything funny.I twisted the door knob clockwise and opened the door hiding behind it. Adrian ran in with the workers immediately, looking around fo

CHAPTER 24

When I saw it was Adrian who made the statement I remained mute. I wanted to tell him that I would love to stay more in the hospital and fully recover but I did not see any use of it. I got used to obeying his orders whether pleasant or not. In no time, the discharge documents were ready, and I signed them and strode out of the hospital with Adrian.We rode in the same car but each of us isolated ourselves to our own thoughts. Soon, rain started drizzling. I manipulated the car window and made it leave a little gap through which the rain would shower on my face. The feeling was so soothing and satisfying. The cold evening breeze was another special therapy for me.When we got to the hotel, Adrian fled to his room, but I was not ready to do the same yet. I quickly ran to the receptionist and asked for the kind lady who was at the hospital with me; after much description, the receptionist finally remembered her and gave me the necessary information I needed.**********Immediately Adria

CHAPTER 25

“Marcus I never knew you were this perverted”. Adrian shrugged with chuckles. “Firstly, I don't just feel right about sleeping with her, and I'm sure she doesn't want it, neither do I. Besides, this whole marriage arrangement is solidly based on business. Secondly, I perceive her to be timid, docile, and reserved. I know she thinks of me as a mean person but I don't care. I can't add taking advantage of her vulnerable state to the list of mean things I have done to her. And thirdly, you know I am a feminist so anything related to abuse of females is highly prohibited by me”. He explained.“Bro, you are truly a genius if, indeed, you haven't tasted her,” Marcus said in one breath.“Everyone knows billionaire Adrian is a genius, a super one at that”. Adrian replied with his voice laced with pride.“So, since you are aware that you are mean to her, why do you keep doing it?”. Marcus asked glaring at him keenly.“Well, that question is actually deep”. Adrian replied, looking away.“But yo

CHAPTER 26

“Hey”. A voice sang after the door was opened.I raised my head and saw Kira. She walked in dressed in our usual hotel working hours uniform. Before I could say anything to her the door flung open.“Why are you not dressed yet?” He asked, his voice reverberating in the room.“I thought we still had about two hours to get there? I stuttered in reply.“Rubbish! Get ready now.” He roared and turned around to leave but stopped abruptly.“And you, what are you doing here?” Adrian asked, looking at Kira.“I am sorry sir. I will be on my way”. She stammered and hurried out of the room.He turned to glare at me coldly, making me quiver.“Who is she?” He asked intently with his eyes still glued on me. “I have observed her around you more often than proper.”“Is it not obvious? She is a worker in this hotel.” I replied.“What was she doing here because her uniform tells that she is in charge of the hallway and not rooms”. Adrian pressed on.“I think she is the one in the best position to answer

CHAPTER 27

Cameras were shuttering here and there, and flashlights kept interrupting my sight. I looked up to Adrian and he wore the most intentional look I had ever seen. We were walking into the meeting hall, hands intertwined like couples walking up the aisle. I felt really nervous plus the crowd from the press and the media around us. They kept stretching their sick microphones to our mouths and asking dumb questions.“Billionaire Adrian, since you got married, you have kept your wife off social media. Could you tell us why?” Another almost poked the cell phone in my mouth “Mrs Jenny Sterling, could you kindly tell us how your marriage experience with Billionaire Adrian is?” The next question was the dumbest question I had ever heard: “Miss Jenny Sterling, rumor has it that billionaire Adrian is good in bed; how true is this?” I almost freaked out. The security men were doing their job but it wasn't enough.“What are you doing?” Adrian whispered at the corner of his lips.“Nothing”. I blurre

CHAPTER 28

I stared at him in bewilderment.“Stop staring at me and eat”. He whispered with gnashed teeth.“You are unbelievable,” I whispered and regretted it immediately because he heard me.“What did you say?” He leaned in again and asked with furrowed brows.“Oh, nothing.” I stammered in reply.“Good.” He muttered and leaned forward to join the meeting again.I heaved a deep sigh, picked up the cutlery, and took a piece of the snack. It had gone cold by then and had lost that hot, crunchy vibe. I continued munching on it and used the wine served along with it to take it down. When I was done with the snack, I sank back into my chair with a filled stomach.After a few minutes of sitting mutely beside Adrian, I observed the meeting room begin to resurrect because it was getting interactive. People were giving their opinions and points of view on different issues and topics. Soon, the menial side talks graduated to heated discussions and blunt exchanges. The board did not withhold anything, pou

CHAPTER 29

The meeting finally came to a wrap. I almost jumped out of my chair in excitement. When I stood up, my limbs went numb for a few seconds and I had to hold on to the table and Adrian's left hand for support. He glared at me, confused, and yanked my hand off. I gulped hard and picked up my bag waiting for him to finish exchanging pleasantries with the board members so we could go home.Out of the blue, the ladies who snubbed me from the commencement of the meeting gathered around me and raised their phone cameras in the air. Selfies were shuttering here and there and I was just trying to make sense of what was going on. Soon, they were making short videos. Some were going live on Instagram, TikTok, and X, saying things like, “Guys, guess who showed up today? Billionaire Adrian's queen and you all know I don't have time for dull moments; we are connecting with her right away.”Maybe I would have had any problem with the whole thing if they were doing it decently and coded but we're just

CHAPTER 30

We stayed in the elevator for about an hour before the lights were finally restored. The elevator started working again, and in no time, we got to our rooms. I thought to ask Adrian about my luggage again, but before I could do so, he disappeared into his room and locked the door. I quietly opened my room door and went inside, when I turned on the lights I saw all my luggage right in front of me.“He really meant it”. I murmured aloud.My hurting back and my swollen feet told me I was not going to unpack anything at that moment. All I needed was a quick shower to loosen up and a good night's sleep. I wished I could get a massage, but it was too let to go to the spa in the hotel as the attendants don't work all around the clock.I woke up the next morning expecting to feel better but I turned out worse than the previous night. My feet, instead of reducing, got more swollen, and my back was a total mess; I couldn't even sit well.“Why the hell am I like this”. I cried making a face.I d
