Unexpected Love

Chapter 5

Bonny's Pov

When he left, I felt a bit off, like he was brushing me off. The way he said that this marriage would only last for a year suddenly made me feel tight in my heart. I don't know what is happening, but I feel hurt somehow, what is happening to me. I need to get a grip of myself fast.

Well, it doesn't matter that this marriage happened fast, and I can't blame him for being the way he is. I don't want anything to do with this marriage. As long as we are able to stay together without giving each other trouble, then I will be the happy wife. I stood up, headed back to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. When I found that Mable had already done that, I looked at her and smiled. Seriously, this woman doesn't listen.

" Mrs Mable, you don't have to worry about making breakfast for me please let me do some chores as well or else not doing anything will definitely drive me insane."

" I'm sorry, Mrs Dawson, it's just my duty. I don't think I would be able to let you do anything, even just to hurt yourself trying to cut veggies. I have been taking care of Brasley since he was a toddler and I already know his preference. "I don't think you would manage to do that without making him sick, so, therefore, I will keep on making him his meal without you interfering. "

I looked at her stupefied, like my eyes were about to lose their shape. How can she be so adamant and for her to think I am unable to take care of my husband, even if it's just a fake husband and as for hurting him wow, that is so rich coming from her on top of that she doesn't even know me.

" I'm sorry, Mable, but I believe I am fit enough to take care of my own husband and, yes, you might be the one who knows him better than I do, but how will I learn to care for him if you don't allow me and besides you have done your part for all the years that you have been in his life, and it's time to hand over the tools so that someone else can be able to take care of him, and one more thing he has already told you to let me do whatever I want so from now on I will be in charge of his meals, whether he likes the meals or not I will hear from him. "

I gave her the look to show that I was being serious because I couldn't tolerate her being judgmental towards me, yet she didn't know me. If I didn't know better, I would say she was in love with him the way she is so clingy to him. I'm just a mere wire. I have no hold on him, but yet I feel like I am staying here with her. It's going to be a problem and I need to speak to my so-called husband about this situation, but at the same time, I don't want to seem like I cannot run my own household if I can even call it that, since I'm new here, and it's only temporary.

" And one more thing mable I do not appreciate your way of thinking. I will never harm my own husband regardless of how we get married. I think it's best we stay clear of each other as I don't want trouble with you or anyone else in this house. We both want what's best for Brasley and nothing else. I hope we can be on the same page as I was looking forward to learning from you as you are the elder in this house."

She looked at me as if I had grown two heads on my head.

" I just wanted to let you know what Mr Dawson prefers and, if it's not what you want, I will stay clear of your way. I'm sorry for saying anything to you. Oh, before I forget, Mr Dawson gave me this card to give you. He said the pin has been texted to your phone, and you can use it to buy anything you want. I believe you won't be that bored after all. "

She put the card on the table and I just looked at her. The way he had said what she said gave me an awful feeling like she was mocking me somehow. I decided to let it slide , knowing this conversation wouldn't end well. I was already irritated.

" Thank you and I hope we can move past this conversation and perhaps, after getting to know me well, you will have a change of heart. I will take my leave now. I still have things to do and thank you for the card I will use carefully."

I stood up, taking the card with me. I didn't even bother having breakfast that was on the table as I headed back to the bedroom to check my emails and the so-called pin. I won't be spending his money on myself. What I would do is just to maintain the household and see what is not there and get it. Upon entering the bedroom, I already knew what to do. I'm going to change a few things here and make it brighter, atleast to give the space a more feminine touch. I decided that I would be going to the mall later on and get a few things. That idea itself made me feel better from the conversation I had with Mable. I don't know why she doesn't like me, but I believe after she gets to know me we will definitely become friends. She seems loving, but I guess I took something that meant everything to her. That is why she is being hostile and indifferent towards me and I totally understand.

I got in the room, took my shower and got dressed in sweatpants and hoddy and took out my laptop and started checking my emails. I got excited when I saw an email from The Grand production and, as I read through the email, I was excited to know that I was invited to an interview tomorrow at 10am. Wow, I was even shaking because I had applied for the job there and, honestly speaking, I didn't think that I was qualified enough to be invited to an interview with them. Besides the Red Ink industry, they were the best among other productions. The company has been doing extremely well and rumor has it that the owner is young and vibrant but hasn't seen him anywhere in the papers or even television. Actually, no one knows what he looks like. I bet he is as handsome as they speak. I feel myself blush as I think about how he might look.

My day suddenly got brighter as I thought of the interview and I couldn't wait to share the news with my husband, but unfortunately, my husband didn't even care, as this is just a marriage of convenience, not a real thing. I jumped out of bed wanting to get ready so that I could go to the mall and outfit myself for tomorrow's interview. I get dressed in a simple yellow summer dress that only hugs above my waist and spreads out through the curves. Yellow suits me nicely with my light completion. I got my bag and headed out asking for the driver that helped me out yesterday to get my stuff. We got to the mall and George, my driver, told me he would be waiting outside, and I nodded in reply. I got to the mall my head in the boutique, but started by doing window shopping, checking out things and sales in other shops. I got to the boutique I wanted. It has great clothes, yet they are quite expensive. I pray that I find the best and at the most affordable price.

When I was busy looking around, I found a perfect dress in the perfect color, my favorite green. I took it and went to the fitting room and, boy, it fit like a glove. I fell in love with it. As I was busy looking at myself in the mirror, I heard someone laugh like they had been tickled and when I looked back, I saw the one person I didn't want to cross path with, my best friend Amelia, or, should I say, my ex-best friend, the one who betrayed me together with my fiancé. My mood was spoiled immediately, and I saw her coming towards me and I knew she was there to cause trouble. So I headed back to the fitting room to change as fast as I could so that I could pay and leave.
