Chapter 10

I ran to meet Sara. She stood up. I couldn't see any scratch on her, she looked beyond okay even. I began to wonder what that could have been.

" What was that, what happened?" She asked the maids, going towards the kitchen.

I didn't know that it wasn't her who fell, she only fell because of the sound she heard, maybe she was scared.

I told her to let the maids be, it was a mistake from them that they didn't keep the jug well, it had to fall and the sound, which I thought was from Sara, was that loud because it fell beside the stairs.

When she realized that I was there, probably after she was calm. She fell into my arms.

" I'm so sorry, this thing just got me annoyed," she said to me, " go clear that place," she said to the maids

" Look at you, how have you been?" I asked her as we went to sit. I was happy to see her, I could also notice the excitement in her voice.

" I'm fine, I have been expecting you but you would not show up, I thought your father had done worse to you," she said to me, well, she was right, my father had done worse to me.

I was only able to laugh. She looked at me, thinking I was laughing because I was happy because she suddenly joined me in laughing, which left me puzzled wondering why she was laughing.

"What's funny?" I asked her

" I should be asking you that question, how have you been for real, how is it going with you and your father" she asked me

I had wanted to ask her if she didn't notice any changes in me, but then again, I looked at myself, seeing that I was still in my old clothes, there was no way she would know that I had moved to another place.

" Sara, something happened. My father gave me out in marriage to this businessman, Nick Grey" I said to her.

Her face held no expression at first, but she later began to screen, and then she began to laugh, I know she must be thinking I was making some silly jokes.

" You are such a funny person" I know right? She probably thought it was some joke, hearing that I got married. I would not even believe it if I were the one.

" It's not a joke, I am married," I said to her, she sat there looking at me blankly.

I know that it was too much to take in.

" I thought we agreed for you to find a way to leave, how did this marriage thing happen?" She asked me.

" He came to my home and that was it, my father let me out, my father agreed to all of these" I let her know that I was fine. I was going to be fine as well.

Nick is a kind person, I won't be soaked in pain all the time.

She was scared for me but I let her know that I was going to be fine.

" I have a request," I said to her, I wanted to go out to pick some clothes, though I haven't told Nick but I know he would agree to it.

" Sure, anything," she said to me.

" O want you to accompany me to get some outfits," I said to her.

She smiled at me, she was happy for me. She went upstairs to get changed. She was done, she came downstairs to where I was. We both left the house.

Walking towards the car, we got to it and I opened the car for her to get in while I opened the cat for myself and got in also.

" Oh my God, Nick, I'm not dreaming, this is Nick" she screamed. I guess she didn't believe I was now married to Nick.

The excitement on her face for seeing Nick was wiped away as it was replaced by shock. She looked at me, guessing the realization just came to her.

" Can I take a picture with you?" I heard Sara asking Nick, as she giggled in her seat. What's with the excitement about? I was even excited when I saw that Nick would be marrying me. I was rather scared of him. I didn't want to marry him, but I guess I just have to stick my ass with this man.

Maybe I don't know who Nick is in public. I see how he has been preventing the crowd from noticing him, little wonder he wore a hoodie.

Well, I know he was a high-profile man, who ladies crawl after. Was I lucky to marry Nick? I didn't look at it that way, I didn't count myself lucky to be his wife.

We got to the fashion house. A fashion house. I didn't know Nick would be bringing me here. I just wanted to pick a few outfits but his driver brought us here.

We came down from the car. Sara was still looking at Nick like she was going to eat him up. He looked yummy by the way. Everyone can see that.

I hated the stares from the ladies, so I slipped my hands to his. He smiled at me, holding my hands to his as well.

We got there and I felt Nick's hands off mine.

I raised my face and saw who it was. I cringed my fist. I felt disgusted seeing her as the memories of what happened that day came to me.

" Hello Nick" she smiled at him.

" Hey, Jane" that was all Nick said

" Wanna come along with me, I got something for you" she smiled again, " oh, is this her? She is beautiful, Nick, you got eyes for pretty Ladies" I was still upset with her and her silly compliment. It made Nick smile though.

" Who is she?" Sara whispered to me

" She is my husband's mistress" I answered her, keeping a straight face.
