As we arrived at the venue, my nerves dissipated, replaced by a sense of duty.
"Showtime," Liam whispered, patting me on the back.
I stepped out of the limousine, greeted by the flashes and snap sound of camera, i wasn't faze as i was used to lime light and attentions from press.
The ceremony passed in a blur. I kept gazing to and fro at my wrist watch, I have an appointment to attend to.
we exchanged vows, i felt happy that the ceremony was coming close to ending.
The reception was a whirlwind of laughter, toasts, and well-wishes. I played the role of a happy groom, but my mind kept wandering off to who the sender of the massage was?.
I exchange pleasantries with the guest present as they were of high classes.
"Who would have thought, you would be getting married so soon?" Cassandra asked as she attempted to hug me.
I used my hands to stop her from coming close, I brought a handkerchief and wiped my hand. Her face turned red in embarrassment, she smiled trying to mask her embarrassment.
I went back to be with my bride who was seated all alone. I got closer to her, I noticed she was rigoursly searching for someone in the crowd.
"Are you okay, sweetie" I inquired.
It felt like she was waiting for the question, "who's your sweetie?" She called out, with a fake smile plastered on her face.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance, if it wasn't for the show I was putting in I wouldn't have asked. "Smile; people are watching."
As the ship docked, I could see how exhausted she was. The night drew to a close, we both made our way to the waiting limousine.
The ride home was filled with deafening silence, no one spoke a word to each other. I rested my head on the head arm for a while with my eyes shut, revising the project work in my head.
As we pulled over, I could see the surprised look she had on, marvelling at how beautiful my house is. It was personally designed by me and the design was not to be used by anyone aside me.
"Nancy would show you to your room, and all the things you would be needing, she would be the one to take Carr of it. Goodnight."I told her, before heading towards my car, I could feel her stare but I didn't care.
I got to the airport, liam was already waiting for my arrival. "you're here" liam greeted. "Let's go" I said, staring at my phone without giving a glance at where liam stood.
I boarded the plane, without looking to check if liam was coming or not.
*****Amber's P.O.V***
His mansion wasn't bad, even though I thought it would have been constructed in a weird way since the owner was weird. The interiors were beautifully laied- they screamed luxury.
Faced with an unfamiliar environment I tried as much to adapt to it, well it is me, I am Amber for a reason. Nancy showed me to my room, which matched my temperament, the room was decorated in such a way that I thought I was the one who gave the the idea of how the decor should be. 'I guess my maintime husband is reasonable.'
'Hmpt.' I jumped lightly on the bed, laying on my back I reached out, turning the lights off while laying on my back still, only to be caught off guard by another surprise. The ceiling had a universe light.
Astonished by the sight of the lights installed at the ceiling, I couldn't help but exclaim at how beautiful it was. "Wow... It's pretty."
'Hmmm' I stretched. Thinking about the beautiful light, i smiled lightly. 'Well before i keeping blushing, I have a work that needs me' my inner voice called out pulling me out of my imagination to reality. "Yeah we have work" I replied back to the voice.
I got into the bathroom, wondering how come my bathroom has been set, I didn't hear anyone cone in. 'Well i'm grateful' I thought.
"Good morning Mrs Nancy." I greeted. "Good morning my lady."
Heavens know it took all of my self restraint to stop myself from asking after Alex.
"Young master is upstairs, he would be joining us in a minute." Nancy said, as if reading my thought. "Ohhh, he's back." Was all I could utter. 'When did he come back?.'
"Good morning young master" Mrs Nancy greeted Alex, announcing his presence. "Morning Mrs Nancy." He greeted.
"Good morning Al...babe" I greeted him, while he stared at me making me even more nervous than before. "Morning love" he greeted, placing a kiss on my cheek which caught me off guard I wasn't expecting him to do that in front of all his staffs present at the dinning area.
"Hope you slept well? And hope you didn't miss me much." 'You wish', I thought, rolling my eyes. I made sure not making eye contacts with him. "Yes I did, I slept well." "Very well then." I ate my food slowly, while taking a peek at Alex. 'What with the change of attitude, yesterday he was mean, not caring if I was all alone in a house I wasn't familiar with, and now he is acting all sweet' I thought to myself.
