CHAPTER FOUR
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE
Samantha who was from a poor background grinned from time to time ever since she got a marriage proposal from her crush Andrew Walker.
She felt as if it was a dream, her sister Tessy wasn't in support of the proposal, because it felt so surreal, her reactions towards her sister Samantha's marriage proposal felt like jealousy.
"Can't you stop being jealous over your oldest sister's joy?" Mr Collins William- her father teased..
"Dad, can't you see it feels surreal, it really doesn't look real? Just like that became a Billionaire's woman, Andrew Walker for that matter?, how beautiful can my sister be to have made him fall for her?" She asked, looking so worried about her sister Samantha
"C'mon I've loved this guy ever since I was little, I can't afford to lose this opportunity to be with him, he's always my role model and I'll love to be with him, sister please " Samantha urged Tessy, her younger sister.
"Besides, he's so rich, look at the way he's been taking care of Samantha, how else do you want to define his love?” Mr Collins said.
Just then there was a knock on the door it was Andrew, he had come to visit Samantha and showered the family some gifts to soothe their hearts towards him, he really acted so real by proving his love to Samantha and each time, he would plant some medias that worked for him to take a few picture for their headlight.
Samantha's father couldn't pray for more, his daughter was getting married in to a rich home, he had always wanted the best for his two children, but since he couldn't be a better father that provided everything that his children needed, he prayed to God for a better husband for them and was happy it was finally answered.
Soon the accident issue was forgotten and it totally died down. His aim was accomplished but then he had to finish what he started, His Marriage with Samantha.
The day finally came, Samantha got married to Andrew which was arranged between himself and Ella, the wedding was enormous, the media were invited, pictures were taken and everyone in the Billionaire's web were also invited. It was like the "Gathering of the Billionaires" Soon Samantha moved to his house and her joy was overfilled.
Little did she know that the joy she had wouldn't last, it was time for her husband to be in the room with her, but was nowhere to be found.
"We're newlyweds, how come Andrew isn't in the room yet?" she asked herself.
She roamed around the building in search of her newly wedded husband but still couldn't find him.
She thought of going into the balcony that was near the store, and she could see him sitting calmly on the couch, with his legs crossed, sipping an orange juice.
She almost rushed at him in excitement but was suddenly held back when she noticed he was in conversation with somebody on the phone.
She could see how happy he was responding to the conversation but couldn't hear him well. She then walked towards him
“My Love, I have been looking for you all over the room, but you are here? Is anything the matter?" She asked, worried.
"Is it a crime for me to sit on the balcony?" He asked sternly, changing his look.
"But, you should be in bed with me by now, it's too late to be out there, please come inside" Samantha urged.
"Look, woman, I'll be right in the room okay" he said firmly.
Samantha turned back in shock, looking surprised and worried
"Could there be something wrong? Did I do anything wrong?" She asked herself as she walked towards the room waiting patiently for her husband.
"Sweet baby, I have to go alright?, trust me I wouldn't have anything to do with her, she doesn't look stunning to me" Andrew told Ella over the phone. He had been in conversation with Ella and had missed her.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way you'll come live with me, don't worry ,she doesn't have a choice, it is my house" Andrew said referring to Samantha.
Samantha was half asleep when Andrew joined her on the bed, he was already sober and tried to keep himself till Ella was back into his house. Samantha moved towards Andrew on the bed as she tried to make some move
"Please, can you move over to the other side of the bed?, as you can see I have been so stressed from the preparation and likewise office work lately has been tasking me." He said to her
"Okay, that's alright, my love I can understand, I can just cuddle huh?" Samantha insisted.
"I feel so tired that I can't endure the weight of your head on my chest tonight please" Andrew returned.
"But why? About some minutes ago you were smiling broadly over the phone, don't you find me attractive anymore" Samantha demanded to know.
All she could hear afterwards were the snores he gave from his sleep, he was already deep in his sleep, as he snored loudly.
Samantha couldn't help it but face the other side and soon dozed off.
At around past 7am the next day , she woke up and didn't find Andrew beside her
"Again?" She yelled.
She could hear some voices in the other room, she left the bed in a hurry to find out what was going on, then met a strange woman unpacking her bags.
"Yes. Yes... Who are you?" She asked in fright.
"Good morning, Madam, Ella is my name"
"Okay, is anything the problem? What are these loads for" she asked again.
"Hey wifey! She's my personal Assistant, I want her to work from home as from today, especially after she returns from the office, I wanted to inform you last night, but I totally forgot" Andrew who was coming from the store said from behind as he wrapped his arms around Samantha whispering "I'm sorry for last night"
"That's fine love, I'm getting to know your Workers" Samantha turned back, squeezed her small body into his broad chest, as Andrew gave Ella a loving wink.
Ella watched in disgust as she felt like someone was already taking over her place, but she soon stopped the thought as she remembered her plans with Andrew Walker.
As night fell, Samantha had hoped it would be a wonderful night in bed with her husband, with joy she dashed into the bathroom to freshen up and smell good, as soon as she got out from the bathroom, Andrew who was with her before was nowhere to be found again, she almost got worried after calling his name a few times then her eyes saw the paper that was In Front of her
"Samantha, I need to pick a file in the office, and I really need to work on it tonight, I'll be back in a jiffy" Andrew had written that in the paper.
"Okay baby" Samantha said to herself as she grinned over the letter.
She jumped in excitement, hummed and sang for a while, still expecting her groom. She then decided to have a glass of water from the kitchen. As she walked towards the kitchen, she noticed the light in the room of Ella was still on.
"Hasn't she slept by this time? What could she be doing?, let me go say Hello before going back to bed" Samantha said to herself as she walked towards Ella's room.
Samantha could hear some whispers, and thought probably Ella was on a call with someone, she still walked towards the door that was still slightly open.
She was eager to know what was happening. Her thought was that Ella was on call with somebody or probably a friend had come to say hello
"How would she bring a friend over? This is just her second day here, that can't be possibly true" she thought to herself
"Why did I accept Andrew bringing over a woman to the house, just the second day after our wedding? What is even wrong with me?” she questioned herself , slapping her head softly as she reached Ella's door.
She stood still as she heard another voice from the room, it doesn't feel like a female's voice
"Could she have brought her man over?" She asked herself .
She turned to go back but the position she found Ella caught her eyes, she managed to look through the slightly opened space and could boldly see that Ella was in a fun-filled moment with a man.
She felt disappointed at the kind of woman she was , and decided to look no more. Just as she was about leaving
She heard a familiar voice.
