Avery's pov
We arrived at the mansion.
"Here's your suitcase ma'am" the driver said and I thanked him before taking it from him.
I turned to ask Ace to help me with my suitcase but he's nowhere to be found.
He so mean,he left me here.
I took my suitcase and carried it to the door, I rang the door bell.
Looking around I admire the beautiful trees and flowers outside the house.
It reminds me of the garden mum and I have at the back of the house.
Mum and I started gardening when I was 8, she knew I love plants and flowers.
So one morning she woke me up and told me we are going to start our very own garden, I was so excited.
The door opened suddenly and there stood a maid, she looks young and pretty.
"Welcome ma'am, may I help" she asked.
"Please call me Avery, okay?" I asked her awaiting a response.
"Okay ma..Avery"she said and took the suitcase from me before I could say anything.
Walking into the house, I was beyond stunned.
I knew my husband was rich but wow this house is so big and beautiful.
I can't wait to explore it.
I hurriedly ran up the stairs, so I wouldn't lose sight of the maid.
"Here, This is your room" she said and placed the suitcase at the front of the door.
I opened the door and walked in.
The interiors are perfect, A walk in closet, even a queen sized bed.
I think the walls needs transformation because I don't like pink, Asides that my room is beautiful.
I showered and changed into my pyjamas.
Falling into the bed I stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
I miss my bed
I miss my apartment
I miss mom
I miss dad
I miss Ella
God…I miss my home.
I still haven't brought all my things here, just few of my clothes are in the suitcase.
I have to pack and bring it here from my home.
I feel sad,lonely and weird here
It's not been an hour but I miss my home already.
This is my home from now on.
I walked out of my room to explore the place, since I couldn't sleep.
I must say Ace has a good taste in interiors.
Everything here screams rich.
After roaming for hours, I felt tired and sleepy.
So I went back to the room and laid on the bed.
Life is really surprising, I can't believe I'm married.
About two weeks ago I broke up with my ex, now I married.
I don't know when sleep took over me.
I was awaken by the sun shining through the window. I got up and went to the bathroom to pee.
I brush my teeth and took a shower.
I changed into comfortable clothes and was putting my hair up in a bun when I heard a knock at the door.
"Ma'am Avery breakfast is ready" she said with a smile on her face.
"I'll be down in a couple of minutes" I said to her, she nodded and left the room.
I put my hair up in a bun and left the room.
Entering the dinning, I see my husband eating.
I sat down and the maid served breakfast.
I had pancake with chocolate syrup toast, bacon, sandwich and hot cup of chocolate "mmhm so good" I mumbled to myself.
"Morning" I said to Ace.
He didn't reply.
I returned my focus to eating and managed to finish almost everything, The maid took my plates away and I got up and headed back to my room.
I rang the maid, so she could assist me in turning on the tv in my room.
Selecting my favorite show "Dog judge" I sat back and watched.
I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in" I said.
Ace came in, all dressed up in his suit.
He looks nice.
He dropped a stack of paper Infront of me.
"What's this" I asked confused?
"A contract" he said.
"Contract" I asked.
"I want a contract marriage, we would be married for a year.so go through it, I won't be reminding you of anything" he said and I mentally rolled my eyes.
We didn't discuss about a contract marriage before getting married, so why now?
"Why a contract marriage " I tried to ask calmly.
"Stop asking questions, go through it and sign it.
It's not damn hard" he replied angrily.

"Do I have to sign this ? And why?" I asked while placing the contract on the table.
"Yes , you should" he responded.
" A yr contract marriage, really?" I asked.
"Yes" he replied nonchalantly.
" This contract is all about you, what about me?" I questioned.
" I don't care about you, sign this damn paper" he said with gritted teeth.
"I'm not signing anything!" I shouted, he appeared in front of me
" Don't make this harder than it is…AVERY" he shouted my name in anger, he took the contract from the table and gave it to me.
"You're already breaking one of the rules, sign the fucking contract!" He said making me flinch.
Taking the pen, I nervously lifted my hands to the contract and signed it.
"Good" he said, snatching the paper from me and he left.
Asshole!
