MARRIED TO MY ENEMY'S CRUSH

NINETEEN

I glanced at my phone as my mouth drooped open. Wait, what is this man talking about?

“Hello ma'am, are you there?” He said and I snapped out of my thoughts.

“Of course, I'd be there in five minutes” I said and the call ended.

My friends were looking at me with questioning eyes.

“Girls. I have to go please” I said as I dropped the custard tin in my hands.

“Where are you going?” Tiana asked immediately. She is always suspicious. The rest were also looking at me.

“Justin needs me. I think something came up” I said admist my confusion. How did I even come up with such a lie in seconds.

“Oh. I hope all is well” Sonia said and I nodded. I hugged all of them goodbye and walked out.

I entered into the car and the driver drove out.

I still do not understand what is going on. Justin is supposed to be travel for a week. So how come he is back and collapsed and now in an hospital?

We soon got to Houston's hospital and I alighted. I don't even know how to behave. I was almost at the door of the hospital when I saw Justin walking out with his personal assistant.

Okayyy.

I look at Justin and he doesn't look like som who has been displaced in any way.

“What are you doing here” he asked in that his usual grumpy voice. The audacity.

“You what are you doing here. Are you not supposed to be in a business conference?” I said before I could stop myself.

I had never thought I could get this bold in confronting Justin. He has always being the one with a upper hand.

“Who are you to question my decisions?” I am getting out of here” he said and started walking away. That was when I saw his car, the cybertruck is packed at a far end of the compound.

He got into the car and the driver drove off. I stared on in complete shock. Why is everything turning out to be like this?

I got into my own car too and the driver drove off. We got into the mansion and I came down. Justin was already in and I went to him immediately. He was unbuttoning his shirt.

“What was that for?” I asked in anger. He did not spare me a glance. Instead he took his towel from the closet and walked into the bathroom.

Now, I do not argue the fact that I married a grumpy man but at least shouldn't he accord me some respect as his wife?

Just then, one of the maids came inside the room.

“Ma'am, Mrs Theodore is here to see sir Justin” she said with a bow.

“Alright I'd tell him when he gets out of the bathroom “ I said and she exited the room.

To think that my day started well and now it is being spoiled by my husband of a person.

Justin came out some minutes later and I told him about his mother's presence but he refused to acknowledge it.

I walked out of the room and went to the sitting room to see Mrs Theodore already feeling at home. She is a very beautiful woman and she has a thing for white color.

Every outfit I have seen her wear is white color including her bags and accessories. I glanced at her and she was busy with her phone.

One thing I have come to attribute with the Theodore's home is that they are always busy. If not on their phones, they are always busy on their laptops and making calls. Well, just like my family.

I walked over to her but I was met with a very stern look.

“Where were you when my son was almost killed? Are

you not his wife?” She said and my mouth drooped in shock.
