Chapter 1
Yeah married life!!!
Something exquisite ,yeah?. Not for me
It was just duty and i did all i could to survive through it. It is just that Samuel made it bearable. We were civilized about this relationship.
When my parents arranged for me to marry him i was mortified. My dad had gambled away all our wealth and left us in enormus debt.
The only way to save my family was to marry me off ,how convenient!!!
I know you are wondering why i didn't for once protest,why i didnot run away from home,done anything to prevent it. It is because am just a sensible, practical person in nature.
Do not think i did not have every romantic typical girls dream. To fall in love with prince charming and be swept away to a castle to live a happy ever after.
Samuel may not be romantic but he was sensible,considerate and not at all domineering.
Thanks to this marriage my sister with cancer was being catered for, my parents no longer lived in fear of being thrown out of their residence, they didn't go days without food and my brother could finish engineering.
And i?. A housewife.
I have tried several times to tell Samuel many times that i could atleast work to keep busy but he says there is no need for that because he could handle everything.
He worked in a multi-billion company, a wine and flower company as the managing director.But sometimes staying home all day long was boring and not what i was really used to.
We have been married for exactly four years,tommorrrow would be our 5th anniversary.
He keeps forgetting such days but tommorrrow i could surprise him at office. It would really be a pleasant surprise,right?
He could always make it up to me later but this time i wanted to take the innitiative.
My phone rang and i picked it up with a smile. I was starting to like him, just a little. If i couldn't fall in love with him then it could grow,right? And it was slowly growing.
"Hey,Sofia"He said with an exhausted sigh.
"Hi Sam"I replied with a smile.
"Am really sorry but i think am running a bit late. Have dinner and don't wait up for me"
I felt disappointed. I really had wished to have dinner with him.
"Is it really important?I Just-"I started but he cut me off smoothly but gently.
"If it wasn't, i would really come home to you ,Sofia. Don't try to persuade me because i might really cave in. Bye see you later."He said and hang up with a breathy chuckle.
I shrugged. He might be really super busy. I needed to understand.A needy,clingy woman could be a huge turnoff.
I put the food in the fridge and trudged upstairs,appetite gone downhill. I dressed up for bed in a black satin robe and pulled the covers over my head with a cynical smile.
You are in for a big surprise dear husband.
I wore black lingerie under my black body suit. I wore army green pants and black gladiator heels. I picked the address of his office and walked there.
