FREDA’S POV.
I shut my door and rested my back on the door of my bedroom. Tears dripped down my face.
“How could I have been carried away that I let this happen? I didn’t plan to lose my virginity this way”, I thought, with tears streaming down my face.
My heart skipped as Briana’s voice echoed back into my head.
“God! What if Briana finds out? I asked about myself. “ She wouldn’t understand it was all a mistake, she would think I wanted to steal Alexander from her”. I thought in fear.
I went to my bed, I curved myself up and cried all through before drifting back into sleep.
I was awoken by a knock on my door. I opened my eyes and quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash my face. I didn’t want anyone to see my face this way.
I walked to the door, I opened the door, and it was one of the maids at my door.
“ Good morning ma” The maid greeted me.
“ Good morning, Liya” I replied.
“Mr Alexander sent for you, he is inviting you to join him for breakfast” Liya says.
“ Alright, I will be there in a short while” I replied in panic.
The maid noticed my voice, she looked into my eyes, then I gave her a forced smile, she smiled back at me, then she turned around and left.
When the maid left, my heart skipped. I quickly shut my door, I began to pace nervously with my eyes becoming teary. I just don’t want to talk about it, I don’t want anyone of us talking about last night.
We have been married for about eight months now, and he has never invited me for dinner.
“Why is he being so nice all of a sudden? Is this because he got his inheritance or because he thinks what happened between us last night will continue? I asked myself.
I returned to the edge of my bed. “ No, I will just stay back” I said to myself.
Then I heard another knock on my door. I pushed back my tears and rushed towards the door and to my shock it was Mr Alexander at my door.
He was wearing a white shirt, its sleeves were rolled up, the first button of his button was opened.
He had his hands in his pants, he looked up into my eyes and, for the very first time in eight months, I realized how attractive and sexy he looked.
I couldn’t look up at his face. I kept looking down at my feet.I was ashamed of myself, he must have concluded I was a loose girl. My eyes became teary, but I forced back my tears.
“ Hey, Good morning” he says softly.
“ Good morning” I replied, still looking down at my feet.
“How was your night?” He asked.
“ It was fine” I replied, still looking at my feet.
“ How …..was ….your night? I asked stuttering.
“ Cool with you by my side ……” I quickly looked up at his face in surprise.
“ It was a wonderful night having to discuss with someone again in eight months”, he says. I nodded.
ALEXANDER’S POV
I don’t know why I woke up feeling I had sex with someone, but I felt it was a dream because I know myself, I wouldn’t cheat on Briana and I wouldn’t take advantage of this poor girl.
“ I hope I didn’t get you drunk last night because I must confess to you, I didn’t even know when I slept off, I was such a waste last night”, I said with a smile.
“ I left as soon as I found out you were slumbering, and I was feeling sleepy as well” she replied.
“ You must have seen how wasted I usually get when I drink, that is why I don’t drink too much” I said jokingly. She gave a faint smile.
“ Please, I am famished, and I have been waiting for you at dinner. Will we go down to have our breakfast” he says.
“Don’t worry about me, I can have my breakfast here” she replied.
“ Please” I pleaded.
She stared at me for a while and nodded her head. “Let me change into something better”I said.
“ I will be waiting at the dining table” he said, and took his leave.
FREDA’S POV
I felt relieved a bit because he didn’t remember, but then I thought of my virginity that I had always wanted to keep till my wedding night, and it brought tears to my face.
I undressed and changed into a casual shirt while I was still wearing the same Denim pants that I wore before.
I descended the stairs and walked into the dining room. I was going to pull out a chair for myself, and he placed his hand on my hand.
I looked down at his hands in mine, and he quickly removed them. He gave me a smile. “ Let me help you” he says and help me to pull out of the chair.
I sat down, and he picked up a plate, he piled up some food on my plate while he also placed a little food on his plate.
I sat down staring at him, he looked up as he dug his cutlery into his food, then he asked me,“ You don’t like it? He asked.
I gave a force smile and picked up my cutlery. “ It looks nice”, I replied, and began to eat the food, even though there were lots of thoughts going through my mind.
“What about we go out and having some nice time and also visiting your stepmom and stepsister? He says.
“About a good time, that wouldn’t be possible but meeting my stepmom and step-sister is a nice thing to do” I said, smiling.
“ Why is having a good time not good? Do I bite? He asked.
“ No, it’s just that, I always have my studies to do every day. I am trying to understand some things on the course I am taking before joining the school. I quickly gave an excuse.
“ I know that’s just an excuse, but never mind, I will fulfill your dream. We will go tomorrow. Is that fine by you? He asked.
My face brightened up, I was happy, I would be seeing my stepmom and stepsister.
“ Thank you” I replied and ate my food .
ALEXANDER’S POV
I descended the stairs and saw her already sitting in the living room. “ Did you sleep at all? I asked jokingly.
“ Yes”, she replied with a smile.
“ You are the girl I have seen treated badly by her stepmom and step-daughter and still have a big heart towards them” I said jokingly.
“ They might have treated me badly, but they didn’t try to kill me like any other stepsister or stepmom would have done, and they even wanted the best for me.” She says.
I smiled and pulled her cheek. “ You have a good heart, I like that about you” I said.“Let’s go”, I replied.
I held her hand, and she tried to pull her hand away. I paused and looked into her eyes.
“Do I bite? I asked.
“No, it’s just the agreement, I mean the contract”, she says.
I smiled at her and looked into her eyes. “ I will never take advantage of you, I just want to help you and give everything you have been denied”, I said to her.
I held her hand and led her to the backseat. I helped her open the door of the car, she climbed in, and I shut the door behind her.
I walk to the other side of the car and the Chauffeur opens the backseat of the car for me.
I entered, and my Chauffeur shut the door. I looked at Freda who was sitting in the car happily.
Not long later, the car stopped in front of her stepmom’s house. She got out of the car and walked into the mansion.
She could see some building contractors on the building, she rushed in, and she could see that the building had been pulled apart. A couple came to her.
“ What do you want?
“ This is our home, I am looking for my mom and my sister” I said nervously.
“Do you mean Mrs Emma and her daughter? She asked.
“Yes” Freda replied.
“They sold this house to me and I heard they had traveled somewhere in Europe”.
Freda turned back to me, I could see how teary her eyes were already, she had questions written all over her face.
