49

We said our goodbyes to Ava and Hattie and Armani drive us home.

The drive was so uncomfortable and I had to pretend to be asleep half of the time. I guess I wasn't as good as I had imagined because Aramani finally broke the silence, asking me about how my first day went. First, this is not my first time in college, I know my way through. Even though I went to a different school before, all institutions have a thing in common; discrimination.

"It was fine" I answered Curtly."

"One of those girls is a Ricardo, right?"

"That is what she said."

"Great, keep good contact with her because her family could be of a great use in the future." Amazing, he wants me to start using my newly made friends. Could he be any less ridiculous? I thought to myself.

"Of course" I answered annoyed.

I kept thinking about Ava statement that Charlotte is her cousin. Who knows what the idiot would say about me if she happens to ask her anything?

"Hmmm, Ava happens to be Charlotte cousin." I said, not knowing why I even bother to mentioned it. It's not like he cared enough to know how anyone thinks about me. But then again, I think I am attached to the girls already I don't want what will ruin our relationship.

"So what?" He questioned.

"When I told Ava that I am married to you, she said she happens to know through her cousin, Charlotte. And you know..." I was cut short by Armani voice.

"Charlotte knows better than to run her mouth bitterly about our relationship."

At least he would keep her in check. I sigh inwardly.

By the time we got home, it was already late. We meet up with traffic on the road, making the journey longer than I had imagined.

I am already so tired by the long drive, I wonder how Armani would be feeling for driving for that long.

Jenny welcomed us with a big smile, probably shipping us together. I looked at her with a half smile, while I silently swear for her in the inside. Stitching bitch.

I thought it would be easier to move on and act like nothing happened because she was probably doing it to keep her job but the more I think about it, the more it piss me even more. Maybe an apology will ease my anger but that also means bringing the whole thing up and that way, Armani would know that I had found out about how he is keeping tracks on my every move. All of these is really stressing me up and its making me want to cry.

Jenny informed us that she had made dinner but I will rather go to bed empty stomach than spend another minute with her. I find it annoying, I mean, how can you be backstabbing someone and still be putting on an act in her presence?

What hurts me most is the fact that I had share a lot of secrets with her, some of which I don't even feel comfortable talking about, but I told her everything, thinking I can confined in her. If my chance she happens to tell Armani about all of it, no doubt, he will see me as an helpless one.

"I am so tired right now, I lied. Jenny, thanks for taking your time to cook but I will rather go to bed."

I bet Jenny knows that I have been trying to avoid her because she look down as if she understands what is going on.

"You cant just waste her effort like that" Armani said, offended.

"I'm sorry, I would make it up to you." I lied.

I took it as a cue to take my leave.

When they thought I can no longer hear what they are saying, Armani asked Jenny if something happened between us both, I guess he noticed the atmosphere. I was half expecting her to tell him what happened but she didn't, leaving me confused.

Is she not aware that Hailey had told me everything? Or is she pretending not to know?

If it is the latter, that means she is lying to Armani right now.

I walked slowly into my room in hope that I will hear something that can prove me right or wrong, but nothing. Better luck next time, I said to myself.

I create a big mess in the room earlier this morning before leaving home. I am already thinking about how to clear the mess, maybe I will just leave it and go to bed.

My room is always neat, not because I am a neat freak or hate dirt, no. Organising my room is just something I do out of boredom so it's more like an habit. Ever since I started living with Armani, I haven't been doing anything so arranging my room is a way to help keep sane.

Surprising, my room has been neatly arranged. It was almost as if I didn't leave a loads of shit behind in the morning.

I literally jump in excitement as I rush into shower to prepare for the night and call it a day.

I decided to check my phone for any message before going to bed.

There are 3 messages from Ava, Hattie and Bella.

Ava and Hattie were asking if I got home safely and they sent their regards to my hot husband. Husband my foot. I replied them immediately, wishing them a good night rest.

I opened Bella's text and saw "it is him" without an further explanation.

Who is he?

What is she referring to? I felt lost and called her number immediately. Her line kept on dropping, saying it's unavailable.

I sent her a text to call me back as soon as she gets it.

I remember her telling me that she is going on a date with Hammer to find answers to her questions. But then again, she already know who he is.

Did she find out a secret we didn't know about?

Does it have anything to do with my father like she had claimed?

My mind keeps wandering around, asking different questions.

"It is him" I read out again.

Who is he?
