"There's nothing behind Ma'am. It's just that I have more to say.",she said. " I thought so",I replied keeping a close eye on her. Seems like I was right,he runs their lives." Sir demands your presence in the study." I signal to her to leave. I didn't want to be at his bark and call but as I laid on my bed ,my mind keeps wondering about what he had to say so I went in there.

As he sat down, he was wondering how to explain everything to Lucia. Even after an hour, she had not appeared. As usual, very rebellious. He was wondering how such a well mannered and kind woman like Dora can birth such a rebellion. After sitting for so long, he decided to face her in the room.

I got to the study but he was not there so I went back to sleep 😴. There is no way I will waste my sleep for such a man. Immediately my head hit the pillow, I was gone.
Look at her annoying face, he thought. Such audacity to not appear before me. He decided to teach her a lesson. He pushed her from the large King's size bed to the floor.
"Ouchhh!eiiiiiissh! Ahh that was painful",I exclaimed. I actually thought I fell out of habit. Not unstil I saw that familiar ugly face. " You again, can't you leave Akua and I alone, you ugly thing." " Shhh! Shut up. Do you even know you have been betrothed to me?" ,I was taken -aback. " No, not you. Of all people, they match me with a murderer like you", like I haven't had enough of surprises. "Huh,you think I'm ugly?Have you no mirror in your house? Don't worry. "He took be to stand infront of the floor to ceiling mirror in the room." See, don't forget such beauty, ever." He pointed to himself. Of course, the school bully could not be any less beautiful. When I first saw him during one of G.I.S famous awards night in that gray suit, I thought he was the definition of beauty with brains. He swept almost all the awards that night. Afterwards, I began to plan how to befriend him. Not until I saw his true colours, and now ,he's the ugly duckling in my books.
" Ohh! Look who's talking, see,I don't care whether you're beautiful or not. All I care about is why your son whom I was told was a girl calls me mom. Do you have any explanation. " I pushed him aside,made it to the bed and sat on it while folding my legs. I still feel sleepy. " I called you to my study. Why didn't you appear?"He asked as he was gradually losing his cool. He's just wondering how they both will survive each day with her giving him headache. " I'm not someone you can just summon to your study. You could have looked for me if it was so important to you." I replied. He pulled a chair and sat facing me.
" So about Manu, he ... I actually told him you're his mom and you have to live up to that. " I wasn't surprised. I was even expecting more from him." So who is his mom" Finally, I couldn't help but ask."That's none of your business. Your role in this marriage is to love him,treat him like your son and lastly, accompany me to my business dinners. " I could tell he was not interested in this at all. Looks like the divorce will be granted easily. " I also have a condition, " I really didn't trust him but an assurance won't hurt, would it? "Incase, we never get to like each other,I would love it if we separate. I mean if I get done with school without love from this relationship, then let's file for divorce. " " Well, I can't guarantee for now. Let's just wait to see." Just like that he rose to leave. " Are we done", I asked. " what do you think ", he questioned as he stepped into the bathroom. " Wait, I'm not done" "What else?",he turned to ask." Why are you using my bathroom?",that was actually not what I wanted to ask." Don't married couples share the same rooms. This is your room but as your husband, I would love to sleep with my wife."
I was speech-less but I couldn't do much so I just offered a word of prayer,then I went off to sleep.

Actually when he went to the bathroom, he wasn't going there to wash up but rather to use the adjoining door to his room. After seeing Cia today, he made a mental note to get to know her better and give their relationship a chance.For the sake of his son.
It was already in the afternoon when I woke up today. I decided to make changes to entire house. The mansion looks too dark dye to its interior design. I called the interior planner and together, we chose gray for the hall,dinning and kitchen. I renovated my room to peach, almost everything was peach. Then I got a silver couch I saw online in the center to view my painting. I also changed his dark bedroom to navy colour . I was just hoping he will come late so that this talk will not be possible.
Thank God, he never arrived until midnight.
