We drove silently to his house, as the automatic gate opened, and the chauffeur drove in.
'Wow, this place is beautiful. If only this man's heart could be as beautiful as his house then… I would probably feel lucky for getting married to the perfect man, but his very…
"Get down" His voice dragged me out of my thought but I was still processing what he said,
"I said get down." He repeated as I wasn't moving. Oh! Picking my phone, I helped myself out of the car before the chauffeur parked the car properly.
His compound is also large, large enough to contain the Limousine that we rode in, as well as the three escort cars and probably more. He started walking towards the building and I quietly followed suit. Immediately I stepped into his house I was glad, at least if his a terrible person and can't make me happy, this house probably can… It's beauty relieves stress.
"Andrew…" Zachary called and an elegant handsome fellow walked up to us
"Good day Sir…" He greeted Zachary then turned to me
"Good day Ma'am" Ma'am? His looks obviously older than I am
"Oh please call me Genesis" I said. Zachary looked at me then looked away before Andrew looked at Zachary with a stare almost asking him 'Is that okay with you Sir?' It's my f**king name dorr.
"Take her to her room" He said.
"What about my stuffs" I just realized that they carried my stuffs but I can't see anyone unpacking them out of the car.
"I trashed them." He answered with no atom of remorse. What the…
"My stuffs… Like everythi…" He cut me off
" Yes, Everything."
"What are my expected to wear?"
"Stay naked, I will be back." He said then turned to Andrew,
" Take her to my room" He completed. His room? But he first said my room. I took an unbalanced step backwards, he doesn't mean that… right??
"You don't mean that" I said. His obviously trying to get on my nerves. I then turned to Andrew
"Your taking me to my room, right?"
"Don't be dumb. We're staying in the same room, on the same bed."
"Why"
"Because your my wife" He as he turned to the large exist door,
"Where are you going?"
"Mind your business, princess." He said as he walked out of the house. Punk! He always cut me off like I'm a fool.
"Okay, handsome. Lead me the way to my room." I said complimenting his look. But instead of a smile he frowned,
"Please ma'am, call me Andrew." What's that? It's not like am planning to call him handsome forever.
"Alright then, if you say so but in agreement, you will have to call me Genesis"
"I'm sorry but I can't do that"
"And why not? That's what I want you to call me."
"Please follow me, let me take you to your room." He said as he slowly started walking towards the grand staircase and I didn't argue as I came along.
"We can't do anything without the Boss's permission" he finished
"It's my name Andrew, you can call me whatever you like."
"Not without the boss agreeing to it. And he doesn't seem to like it."
"How so?"
"That look tells a lot" What? How did this man get to understand that weirdo with just a look.
"You must be very smart. How long have you worked for him?"
"For five years now. I'm not smart, I just had to learn. Because if I'm unable to understand him and do anything that gets him angry, since he doesn't speak much, I always get punished. Mr Logan teaches by punishment and they're not anything fun at all." Was that suppose to scare me? I chuckled
"Yeah right." Let's see him punish his own wife…
"Here we are, ma'am. Your room." He said as he opened the door, still holding the door knob. This is not my room…it's his room.
"Zachary sleeps here?"
"Yes ma'am"
"And I can't take any other room"
"No ma'am. Only if he agrees to it"
"Yeah, sure. Whatever, you can go now."
"If you need anything please call for my service with the telephone."
"Okay, thank you." I said before he turned and left.
Absolutely… Lovely. Look at me hoping that, if I can't get happiness from my husband, I can at least get it from his breath taken house. Only for me to find out that I can't do anything in his god forsaken house without his permission, like… what the heck?
I walked into the room and took in a deep breath, it is filled with his erotic cologne. Stopping in front of the king size bed, I couldn't help it but swallow hard. Firstly, the shape of his penis my head drew at the reception came to my sight and I swallowed again, gosh…it felt so big. Secondly, he asked me to stay naked…he can't mean he would have sex with a stranger he barely know, this night?
No! Never!!
Throwing my phone on the bed, I turned, backing the bed, trying to keep those thought away from my head. I looked at the two doors in front of me, then walked up to one and opened it. The first thing I saw was the large mirror pasted on the wall. I walked inside and what I saw is the two large wardrobe standing in between the room and the other side wardrobes, which amazed me.
What amount of clothes does he have for it to occupy the two large wardrobes. I first opened large wardrobe at the left and I saw his well ironed suites, white shirts and trousers, white tops and black joggers, then few colored shirts and tops which we're isolated. Freak!
I opened the drawer below the wardrobe, and there led his expensive nice shoes. I went on to open the side wardrobes still at the left hand side, and all I saw is his bowers, watches and jewelry, then on top was all his hair and body accessories. Satisfied with my first round of site seeing, I turned to the right. If all his stuffs are in this large wardrobe then what is in the other large wardrobe.
I opened it, to see women's cloth. Beautiful, amazing looking clothes. I couldn't recognize any as mine but they looked and smelled new. Don't tell me he trashed my cloth and got me new ones?
I opened the lower drawer and I saw shoes, more than I ever had. Then to the side wardrobes, I saw nice inner wears and night wears. They we're gowns and they we're short, my nightwear used to be shirts and trousers, I've never wore gown to sleep. So for this, would I still put on panties as I don't used to since I put on trousers. Why didn't he ask first before getting me nightwear, so I will tell him my choice? He always do what he wants without asking.
I got out of the dressing room, and entered the other room which I guessed to be the bathroom. Opening the door I saw the bathtub just steps away. Walking in, I realized the bathroom also has shower and a toilet in it, which gets me wandering…what if his in the shower and I want to make use of the toilet? Just while I was anticipating, I heard my phone ring in the bedroom and I ran to pick it, it might be Mom
"Hello baby"
I was right
"Mom…" I don't know how to explain to her why I left without saying goodbye
"Baby?"
"I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. Something came up and I had to leave with my husband."
" There is no need for any explanation. I was informed."
" You were?" How? I never sent anyone to inform her
"Your husband asked someone to lay down the information." He did?
" I will make it up to you by coming to the hotel you and Dad booked. I will visit you and settle things with Dad…"
" Oh, baby. That won't be possible because, I and your father are on an airplane to the state."
"…" This has happened before, I shouldn't be disappointed but I am. I mean, they married me off to a man I don't know, and travelled.
"Sure. See you when I see you." I have no idea when that will be, but I have hope it will be soon. If everything goes according to my plan, after I divorce that man, I will take a leave from my boss and travel to the state, then I could finally settle the dispute between I and my father.
" Mm" she murmured
"I will be in touch with you, goodbye." I finished and she immediately cut the call. She didn't even reply to my goodbye, I will try not to think too much about it.
I better take my shower now before he comes back and I get uncomfortable to do so. By the way I still need to sleep early so I can wake up early for work tomorrow, work is the only thing that can completely clear my mind and let me think soundly like I am still a spinster. I took off my reception gown and put it inside the dirty cloth basket in the bathroom before I got into the shower. Turning on the heater I turned on the shower and the warm water fell on my hair, uncurling my hair and making it damp, it felt so refreshing to take a shower in such a luxurious house. I made sure to enjoy the bath before I came out, getting into the dressing room, I put on one of the night gown he got for me. It feels so uncomfortable but I try to ignore it. Hopping into the big bed with my face buried on the bed, I spread my arms. Trying to breath with my face buried in the bed all I could smell is Zachary, causing me to turn back and lie on my back. Why can't I get my own room, this house is big enough to have more than seven rooms.
I guess I will just manage until a month when he gets tired of seeing me around, I could easily divorce him. Another thing I will make sure to do within this one month with him, is not to let that man have sex with me. I gradually drafted to sleep while thinking about what this month will be like.
I didn't want to get up as this bed makes getting up a nightmare, thankfully my body is trained to wake up around 4:30 at the dot. I forced myself to get up, but I didn't see the man that scared me by saying he would have sex with me. Well I took off my night gown and got into the shower, as before, I took my time in the shower. Getting out I entered the dressing room and opened the large wardrobe at the right hand side. After putting on inner wears, I just stood there with my thumb finger in my mouth
'What would I wear now' I don't know whether it's only me that gets confused on what to wear early in the morning especially when I have many amazing option to take. Anyways I ended up putting on a white silky top and a short white jean skirt, with that I headed down stairs. His house maids we're already up, taking care of the chores, I will have to get used to this. But I didn't see Andrew…
"Good morning, Ma'am. Do you need anything?" A young lady with blonde hair and skinny body said. She's probably within my age range or older. She was dusting the already clean furniture.
"Not at all. And you are…"
"Sorry?" She seemed confused and surprised.
" Your name?"
" Oh, my apologies Ma'am. I'm Stella"
"Hello, Stella. I'm Genesis, nice to meet you"
" Thank you Ma'am"
" Alright. Look here Stella, I would be going out now. Could you help me inform Zac…My husband that I will be back around three"
"Absolutely Ma'am"
"Great." With that I burst out of the house. There were cars everywhere but firstly, I don't know how to ride and secondly, if I did, that freak will never let me drive one of his cars, so I took a cab to my work place.
"Congratulations!!" Everyone screamed in unison on seeing me. As sweet as this may looks, I wasn't enjoying it. What would they think of me after I divorce that man within a month? But of course, I have to act like it's all good
"Awww. Thank you guys, thank you." My boss, Mr. Fredrick walked up to me
"You know, you could take a day off right?"
" How very kind Sir, but I have no trouble in coming to work and so do my husband." I formed a fake smile causing him to tap me at the back as he said before he left
"Congratulations again Mrs. Logan." This is crazy, it sounds so crazy to my ear cause he usually called me Miss. Edwardo. After the 'nice' welcome back section everyone went back to their post, including me.
"You look stunning today Mrs. Logan" Brian said.
"I will break the balls in between your legs if you call me that one more time, Brian." I said and he chuckled.
"You would have to get used to it Cinderella, cause you would be hearing it a lot from now on" He said with one of his nice smile
"I can take it from anyone but not from you. In essence, your not allowed to call me that." I returned the smile but with a brow up
" Alright… Alright, Genesis."
"So what's going on with you for the past days I have been absent?" I asked as I arranged the files on my desk accordingly to there alphabetical order.
"I would tell you, but not now. So let's get to work, you gat a lot on ur plate." He said as he took some of the files on my desk and placed it on his desk as he sat down to analyze them.
"Acordada" I agreed.
Just around six O'clock, we were done with all the file and was good to go. I packed my things as he packed his, then we walked out of the bank and down to the packing lot.
"Now spill it, Brian." I said as he drove off from the packing lot. He turned in search for something, before he finally found it and placed it on my palm
"A box?" I asked.
"Open it." He said and I noticed resistance in his tune. I did as he asked, I opened it
"A ring…?"
"Yes Genesis. I want to propose to her." My mouth failed to function at that moment
"That is incredible Brian… I'm happy for you" I said with the purest, biggest smile
"Yeah, um…" He stuttered
"What? Why do you sound resistant?" I asked
"I'm worried"
"And what makes a good man like you worried?"
"Genesis, What if she don't say Yes? What if she doesn't love me enough to get married to me? What if…"
"Brian" I called.
"Yes…"
"What reason would she have not to say 'Yes' to getting married to you? I mean…your kind, your cute and handsome, you put people's problem first before your's, and you have a big ass…" I said jokingly causing him to chuckle
" So…why are you chicken out?"
"I'm not, just being a bit skeptical…" Had to cut him off on that
" Why be at all? Not like she won't say Yes but if she doesn't then it's a sign she's not meant for you. Come on Brian, propose to her already cause I can't wait to escort your wife down the aisle and watch you two exchange vows. Whether or not she says Yes, what harm can it cause?"
" Heart break?" He responded with his voice a bit louder than before
" Okay okay, I'm sorry." I said with my arm up, in an act of surrender causing him to sigh…
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have raised my voice at you especially when your looking forward to attending my wedding, meanwhile I couldn't attend yours."
"For a specified important reason Brian, so I understand. That reminds me how is your Mom faring?"
" She's better."
" She deserves better…How about you bring her over to Benidom?"
"What? No, I understand that she deserves to have the best for her last days that's why I went all the way to getting her out of the hospital to get her treatment at home and I went all the way to getting her out of the hospital to get her treatment at home and I also scheduled for an outing to the park or anywhere of her choice every weekend."
"You don't understand do you Brian it's not all about her, if only you know that feeling of losing someone that is family. Speaking by experience Brian, it will fill all… annoying I'm stupid to you now but when she leaves this surface of the earth you would wish you had more time to bid her farewell, then you would regret not booking a quick flight for her to Benidom." I finished, causing him to sigh
"Okay, your probably right"
"Not probably, I am right.
"So… how is your married life going?"
"I can't tell, I just got married yesterday anyways."
"Alright, here we are." He stopped in front of Helena's cafeteria. And I jumped down from the car, I have a lot of explanation to give to her
" …" I cut her off before she could say a word immediately she saw me.
"Before you badmouth me I'm sorry. That husband of mine dragged me into his car against my will, that's why I couldn't inform you of my leave. And I…"
"Can you shut up…" I was caught off guard by how mean she sounded then she turned to Brian
"Can she shut up for a second?" then back to me
"First of all what the hell are you doing here? You should be in your honeymoon or something. She ended her sentence teasingly causing me to let out a sigh of relief"
"Honeymoons are for couples who are deeply in love and you know that's otherwise in my own case. But…Instead of talking about me, there are fun things to talk about other than me, like… the part Brian got a ring and he's planning to propose to Beatrice…" Helena cuts me off
"No f**king way… Congratulations bro." She said with a wide smile
"Except…He is chickening out." I said and her smile vanished
"Are you kidding me?" she chuckled
"I'm not chickening out. I just have doubts." He said then Helena turned to me
"Yeah, he's definitely chickening out." She said as she mimics a chicken sound and its movement in front of Brian causing she and I to burst into laughter.
"Okay whatever, if your done laughing meet me in the car. I bet your shift is over." He said as he started walking towards the exit.
"Aww he's annoyed. Come on it's late already." I said to her so she grabbed her stuff immediately as we followed Brian to the car.
"Brian, you know there is nothing to doubt right? Beatrice is a lovely person and so are you." Helena finally broke the silence
"I told him that same thing." I said
Okay fine. I'll propose to her this weekend. I'm hoping I could get some nice tips from you guys."
"I thought you never ask." Helena said as she chuckled
"We will always be here for you." I agreed with her
"Looks like you'll be dropping first Helena, this is your stop." Brian said as he hits the gear
"Lucky you Geny, now you get to be dropped last." She said as she came down from the car and stood at the Brad's window
"Goodbye sweetie, see you tomorrow."
"Don't mess things up before weekend. Begin the proposal today, I don't mean literally. I mean…start giving her a special treatment more than you used to. That will get you a fast yes when you finally propose to her. I'm giving you a tip now don't say I didn't give you any, Love you both." She said before she stepped back and Brian drove off.
"You have five days to get things right, not like it's not already right…but to make things perfect to her taste." I said making him to sigh…
"Yeah."
The rest of the drive was in silence as it was a long one. Unlike before, when I had to even drop before Helena. Reaching in front of Zachary's gate, Brian stopped.
"Thanks for everything." He hugged me
"Alright, see you tomorrow" He said as he released me
"Okay" I came down from the car, stood by the side and watched him drive off. It has been a while since we had this kind of ride, actually for seven days now, since Brad travelled when his grandma fell ill. Yeah, it's a while for me cause we don't go pass a day without a ride together. How I love those two humans, their my best friends for life.
