Vivienne Parker POV
I didn't inform my dad that Aaron and I will be visiting him. I wanted it to be a surprise visit , for the first time he will be meeting my supposed husband Aaron.
I woke up very early in the morning because Aaron said we will be going to my father's house very early so he will come back and prepare for work. I didn't want him to change his mind so I woke up by 4:30 in the morning to cook my mother-in-law food and other things she will be needing. I prepared her breakfast and set it in her room since we won't be around she won't be able to walk down to the dining area and nobody will pull out the seat for her. I kept everything she will be needing by her bedside.
I left to wake Aaron up to have his bath and come have his breakfast. I made breakfast Aaron..I said while tapping him to get up.
You are up so early..he asked
Yes I have even prepared breakfast..I replied
Oh my goodness this is just 6 o'clock, where are you going this early morning…he asked rubbing his eyes
You said we were going to visit my dad today Very early this morning..I replied looking confused.
What do you mean by that.. Vivienne Parker.
I don't understand you right now Aaron, you told me yesterday we will be visiting my dad today very early in the morning so you will come back early enough to prepare for work..I replied.
Have you forgotten who you are to me..he asked..if you have forgotten let me remind you. You are my substitute wife.. he added.
Please let me have some sleep ok, I'm leaving for work by 8 o'clock this morning..he said and went back to sleep.
I was broken, I sat on the bed looking at Aaron Richmond, I just fool myself with tears in my eyes. I left my mother in law's room to pack the food and other stuff .
I did that quietly because she was still sleeping and I didn't want her to question me. I packed them quietly and quickly and left.
I was already done with cooking and other domestic chores. I didn't want to go back to our bedroom so I went to sleep in the guestroom. I couldn't imagine lying down beside a man that would insult me and disrespect me. I was so broken, I was taken away yesterday by Aaron words forgetting it was just for a moment. But yesterday was really a day to remember, I smiled though still in tears, I don't have to be offended, at least I should know Aaron by now. He doesn't really care about people's feelings, but once he cares he cares with everything in him.
I left the guest room to our bedroom , All thanks to God I didn't inform my dad…I said to myself.
What excuse would have I given to him to believe and I don't really want my dad to know how my supposed husband has been treating me, just this morning he reminded me that I'm his substitute wife, I'm not bothered because I have achieved something.
When I got to the room, I didn't feel like sleeping anymore. It was already morning, I just laid on the bed with my thoughts.
I still wonder why my step sister asked me to sign a contract marriage with Aaron Richmond, where they paid.. I asked myself. Or was it really because of dad's hospital bills, how did they meet, is it because of his rude attitude, maybe my step sister Mary Parker couldn't withstand his rude attitude that's why she and my step mom asked me to sign a contract for marriage. Because I can't see why my step sister will ask me to marry her fiance or is Aaron not aware I'm her step sister?
Many questions kept running in my mind but I couldn't give answers to them.
It was 7 o'clock already, it's time to attend to my mother inlaw, so I quickly went to her room but she was still sleeping. I stood there for a few minutes but she was deeply asleep. I left to wake Aaron up to prepare for work.
I got to the room and went straight to the bed but first I was scared of waking him up. I didn't want his troubles but on the other hand if I don't wake him up it's still trouble, sometimes I don't even understand his attitude. I decided to wake him up, whatever his attitude would be towards me because of waking him up I don't care…I said to myself.
Get up Aaron.. I said while tapping his right leg.. it's a few minutes past 7 o'clock already..I added.
He was still sleeping, so I tapped him again. What is it Vivienne, can't you let me have some sleep… he asked me angrily.
Come on Aaron, I'm only waking you because you will be running late to work, you told me you will be leaving for work by 8 o'clock.. I told him.
Oh that's true Vivienne, I will be having a meeting with a few executives from a Company in the US and they will be coming to my company.he replied.
That was the first time I heard him own a company and tell me about the meeting.
Oh that's great.. you have to hurry, have your bath, your breakfast is already done.i added.
Oh really, this means I won't be late.. he said and turned to me, giving me a soft kiss.. you are a darling Vivienne..he added.
I couldn't say a word, I was just standing smiling and staring at him, truly his attitudes are unbelievable, this minute he's harsh the next minute he's very nice. He dashed into the bathroom and I left to check on my mother in law. With a smile all over my face.
What I don't understand is why I am smiling. Maybe it's because Aaron was nice to me a while ago.
But what I keep asking myself every passing day is, why him calling me a substitute bride make me feel bad so much. Because I am not supposed to be angry since that is who I am to him truly.
And after 5 years I will need to leave his mansion and his life. But the thought of that sometimes make me feel very angry.
I don't know why but I don't want to leave him. I just want him in my life even if it means he will keep calling me a substitute bride I don't mind as long as he is with me.
