"Hey uh , l packed your lunch though you might be too busy today ". Isabella said excitedly
"You didn't have to I've got lunch plans with Micheal ".he said looking at his watch and moving on . I packed for the both of you,if that's okay " Isabella said not sure of his outcome .
"You don't know when to quit ,Do you? ".he asked and kept on going but Isabella 's voice stopped him .
'How long are you going to keep this up " Charles turned and looked at her .
"I thought our relationship is nothing " .
"Charles I'm your wife ,I know you've never seen me that way but it's the truth , l won't kill you to be nice to me ,I'Ve tried all l can to warm up to you but all you do is push me away "She finally said.
"Did l ask for any of that ?
"What?"
"You seem to forget your role in this game ,or have you forgotten ."he said walking slowly towards her .
"Charles stop".
"Why ? Have you forgotten the deal made between my Mum and your dad , have you suddenly forgotten that what your purpose is to me was to get me to this ". he said his hands getoculating everywhere .
"Being the president "he continued
"I do hate to break it to you but Isabella,we were never married out of love , it's all business ,so l will appreciate if you always remember that to me , you'll never be my wife , just an asset Okay? "
Isabella fought the tears that threatened to fall Charles words had pierced through her like needles sewed into the flesh .
She had seen this coming ,She knew what she was getting into the day that contract was signed ,She clearly remembered Charles dragging her to the balcony while her discussing and told her to agree to this ,She remembered the words he told her "I only married you for my mom" so don't have any expectations,if you push forward with this " Charles left angrily .
"Bro what took you so long? "Michael asked.
"A little marital talk " .he replied.
"Look man , it's high time,you give Isabella a chance ,the girl is literally begging you to show affection ".Mike lectured putting an emphasize on the begging .
That's some talk coming from someone with a score of side chicks." Charles defended putting on his seat belt .
"Whatever Man." he concluded driving off .

"Hey mum sup , everything's okay at the bar ? "yeah , l have told you it's a band not a bar " .
"Whatever it's the same thing anyways just called to tell , l might not be home today " .
"Today! why ? ".
"Some of the perks of the being the most important person in the country" guess so Jane smiled proudly
"Okay son , l understand , Have fun ."
"No fun in politics mum , It's not as fun as Jane's band ". The voice said sarcastically.
"Just get off the damn phone already".She laughed.
"Okay ,bye love you!"
"Love you more !!" Janet smiled to herself and walked inside few moment later ,Sophia followed also on a call .
"You don't have to tell me that dad I'm 24 " .
"Just reminding you, take care " he said and hung up .
"He's always so paranoid".
She said with feigned annoyance.
"And now we welcome our honourable founder of Janet's band ,Janet Trevor." She heard an MC's voice say from the huge building behind her .

"It could be nice working here at least one of my talents could be put to use. It'll be better than leading some Justice society for the benefit of my dad ." She soliloquized in what she found pleasure in doing lately .Then suddenly her eyes caught familiar .
"The site"
The figure move unsuspectfully down the corner of the road with Sophia on his trail .
"I must get this bastards myself " She thought carefully moving from one pillar to another ,the figure kept on walking,hands in his pocket and hoody across his face until he stopped right under the darkside of the old railway tunnel.
