Chapter three. Secrets and Seduction
She had a heavy bleed throughout the day and was scared so she made her way to the hospital.
She finished her appointment with the doctor early.
As she left the hospital and stepped into the bright sun. She was bombarded by flashes from cameras of journalists and reporters waiting outside.
She raises her hand to shield her face from the barrage of questions thrown at her "Mrs. Andrew!"
"Is Gabby Andrew dead"? "Who wants to kill him"?
"We heard you married him for his wealth. Is that true"? "Are you in the hospital because you are pregnant"?
"Is he sick?"
"How do you feel being married to a billionaire and going through this in under 48 hours"?
The questions were relentless and she was overwhelmed as she tried to pave her way through the crowd, covering her face from the camera.
Gabby resumed work a few days after the wedding. Henry kept Kendall's company which made them close when Gabby was off to work.
"My parents married me off because of the benefits they were going to get in return. This is disheartening. Am so disappointed right now". She said while crying bitterly
"Oh, it's okay Kendall. You are going to be fine and remember I'm still here". Okay? Henry assured Kendall that he was going to make sure she was fine.
Days went by and they started having feelings for each other but It got complicated day by day because they had to make their relationship a secret because of Gabby, the press and the employees in the house.
"Should we go grab a drink outside"? Henry asked, holding Kendall's hands. Yeah, sure! She answers.
They both wore black clothes and a face cap to avoid the press.
"You look beautiful damsel" Are you set? He asked with smiles playing at the corners of his lips.
Yes, I am! Kendall answers with a big smile.
Kendall had never been this happy before, She wished everything could continue like that but he was her husband's brother.
Gabby went on a business trip which gave them the freedom to do whatever they wanted. Their relationship grew to the stage where they both shared a room, slept together every day, ate and went on outings.
Gabby's friend whose name is John advised Gabby to treat her like he was truly in love with her just to satisfy his s****l urges. Gabby was disturbed about her closeness with his brother.
Gabby started to suspect them so he hired a private investigator to watch them closely.
Henry's phone rang and it was Gabby.
"Good morning brother". I hope you had a great night. Henry asked
Yes, sure I did! I slept like a baby. Gabby answered. "I called to tell you I will be back today before noon.
Okay brother, can't wait to see you. Henry said
Henry and Kendall had numerous outings and conversations when Gabby was out of Los Angeles. Kendall started feeling uncomfortable about it because she felt it was not the right thing to do.
Gabby got back so exhausted that day. All he needed was a good shower and a delicious meal. He noticed the house was so silent. The workers in the mansion were all gone.
"Kendall! Kendall! Henry!" He called but there was no response so he made his way to her room and noticed the door was also locked.
"What is happening here"? He said with a bedroom voice.
Kendall and Henry heard Gabby's footsteps while they were both having a conversation in Kendall's room. She hid Henry under her bed just to avoid any conflict. and went straight to get the door.
She opened the door with a smile which was weird to Gabby.
"Hey hello! You never mentioned you were coming back today". She said even before Gabby could utter a word.
"I changed my mind. Couldn't wait to see my beautiful wife" he said with a smile roaming around his cheeks.
Held Kendall's hand and they both sat on the couch.
"Am sorry for the way I treated you and am sorry for forcing me on you sexually. I am ready to put everything behind us so we have a fresh start" Gabby said.
Gabby said all this, just to get what he wanted from Kendall. He knew that deceiving her was the only way he could satisfy his s****l urges.
"Okay also ready to start this journey with you. Let's give it a trial". Kendall said with a confused facial expression because she already had a genuine relationship with Henry at the time. Henry heard their conversation and was filled with anger.
"Where are the workers in the mansion? I can't seem to find anyone around," Gaby asked.
"They wanted to have the summer leave so we allowed them" Kendall answered confidently with a smile.
"Have you seen Henry around"? Gabby asked again. "He stepped out with his friends" she answered
"Okay. Am exhausted right now and I need a shower. I'll see you later" he said as he left the room.
Kendall shut the door after Gabby and allowed Henry out. Henry came out with an angry face.
Are you going to work things out with him? He asked angrily.
What about us? Are you just going to throw everything we have shared away? He is a monster you can't just believe him
Kendall went blank. She couldn't say a word.
Henry held her hand and she became conscious again
"Henry, you need to leave my room right now. Please leave. Gabby is back from his trip. I don't want any issues" Kendall said with a big fear on her face.
"Okay! Fine! I'll leave now but have it at the back of your mind that we are not done with this conversation!!" he shouted and left the room angrily.
Gabby is a dangerous and wicked man. I can't believe him. He is a liar and I won't let him manipulate me. Kendall said to herself.
Gabby kept trying his best to assure Kendall that he was a changed person.
Kendall continues her relationship with Henry secretly. Their relationship was built on honesty. They allowed things to come naturally which made their relationship stronger than ever. She was able to find solace and comfort in his hands.
