Adam's P.o.v
It was early in the morning, I woke up and couldn't find Imelda on the couch, I stood up and walked around looking for her, I checked the bathroom looking for her but I couldn't find her then, I went downstairs to check Sandra's room. I saw her sleeping beside her I stayed from afar looking at her then I entered to wake her up before Grandpa could suspect anything.
"Stand up and let's go upstairs," I said whispering, trying not to wake Sandra.
"Wash up and let's go for breakfast Grandpa is waiting for us," I said.
I held her hands and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Adam and Imelda you are awake," Grandpa said.
"Good morning Grandpa, " we both said.
"How are you, Sandra? How are you, Reynold?" I said giving them a bright smile.
"Sandra, eat more vegetables, Reynold, eat more vegetables, " I said putting more food on their plate.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling this morning? I said.
"I'm fine" Grandpa replied.
"Grandpa, I and Imelda will take the child to the kindergarten, " I said
"Bye Grandpa," Sandra and Reynold said hugging Mr. Lawson.
"Bye my darlings" Grandpa replied.
"See you later Grandpa," Imelda said.
After dropping the kids at the kindergarten, we both departed.
Imelda's P.o.v
I sat down at a cafe drinking a cup of Americano waiting for Linda to come. I saw her from afar and then waved my hand to signal her.
"Sorry, I'm late," Linda said as she sat down.
"It's fine," I said.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" Linda asked.
"Em I'm married," I said shyly.
She bursts into laughter.
"Girl if you want to joke then at least tell me a joke I will believe," Linda said as she continued laughing.
I brought out my marriage certificate and showed her.
"Babe I'm not joking," I said as I showed her the certificate.
"What! Are you for real? Why will you get married?
Are you involved in a marriage scam? Did you owe someone money that he threatened you to marry him?" Linda asked shockingly.
"No, calm down, "I said trying to explain the situation to her.
"He is someone you know. I married the CEO of KD company" I said.
I explained everything to her including how Grandpa Lawson gave up his slot for Sandra.
"Are you telling me you got married to someone you have no future with just because they helped you?" Linda asked.
"No, Adam proposed to me before Sandra's sickness, and have been trying to consider him, I think I should give him a chance since he seems to be a nice and good person" I explained.
"I can't just let you marry someone like that I need to see him and ask him some questions, "Linda said.
"Have you told your parents, will they accept? You know how stubborn your father is " Linda asked.
"I will explain to them later, " I said.
I took out my phone and called Adam to tell him my best friend wanted to see him.
"He said we should meet at Velda Hotel, "I told Linda.
Adam's P.o.v
Celina barged into the office looking furious.
"Adam, why are you married? Who did you marry?" Celina asked surprisingly.
"You have heard about it, yeah I'm married to Imelda the designer you saw the other time," I said.
"I know you can't marry someone like that without any reason and for whatever reason you married her I will make sure I find out," Celina said angrily.
"I won't give up my love for you Adam" Celina added and barged out of the office angrily.
As Celina is about to leave Justin enters.
"Adam I heard you got married man, what's going on, explain to me, " Justin said.
"Today is for explanation Celina just left after asking me the reason why I got married to Imelda.
I'm about to go meet Imelda and her best friend let's talk later" I said.
"That's nice let's go together I need to know what type of woman intrigues you to marriage," Justin said.
At Velda Hotel, Imelda sat down beside Linda waiting for Adam, as soon as Adam and Justin arrived they sat across Linda and Imelda.
"Hello Linda, I'm Adam, your best friend's husband," I said reaching out for her hand to shake her.
"I'm not here for formalities, why did you marry Imelda? What are your real motives?" Linda asked rudely ignoring Adam's hand.
"LINDA," Imelda said trying to caution Linda.
"I am also here to know the reason why your best friend married my friend, "Justin said facing Linda.
"Will you keep quiet? did I ask you to talk?" Linda rudely told Justin.
"Now I'm listening " Linda continued facing Adam.
"I married Imelda because I loved her from the first day I saw her, I liked everything about her, she is a woman of integrity and I believed she can change my life positively," I said in a cool and lovely manner.
"I believed I could overcome any difficulties with her by my side, and she would be a perfect wife and mother for our children and I promise to love Sandra like my biological daughter" I continued tapping the table.
" I almost believed your words, but I know you don't love me, this is part of your acting, if only your words could be true I would be happy," Imelda thought.
"Are you sure all your words are true? If you bully my friend I won't spare you " Linda said.
"Shut up I didn't ask you to talk," Linda said facing Justin as he was about to talk.
"Did you guys know each other before?" Adam asked looking at Linda and Justin suspiciously.
"NO" Linda and Justin replied together.
"Are you sure?" Imelda asked.
They both nod their head In confirmation facing their sides.
"Okay, "Imelda said.
" I have to go to the kindergarten to pick up the kids, it is closing time already," Imelda said.
Linda and Imelda took their bag and left for the kindergarten.
"Adam, are you sure you have no ulterior motives for marrying Imelda?" Justin asked in a serious tone.
"Why did you ask?" I asked him.
"Have known you for years man, you do tap the table whenever you are trying to strategize I can see all your words are not true" Justin replied.
"I'm not lying," I said and took my leave.
Imelda P.o.v
Imelda's phone rings and she picks it up.
"Hello Imelda, I heard you are married to the CEO of a big company, how can you get married without our consent? Did you not see us as your parents? Are we that insignificant in your life? Your father has been angry since he heard the news from our neighbors, we will be coming over tomorrow, and if we see any issue with the man you marry you will divorce him instantly" Imelda's mother shouted and scolded her harshly.
"Mummy, allow me to talk," I said.
" I don't want to hear anything from you and that's my final decision," Imelda's mother said and hung up immediately.
"Em I can't get divorced mummy" I shouted as the call disconnected.
