Chapter Twenty One- Soon to be a bride

Vanessa's point of view And we arrived our apartment by 12am that morning. Victoria was fully sober now while I was drunk and bumbling around like an idiot.I must have said a couple of things that did not make sense because I could feel her whispering into my ears.The name Mary kept on appearing in my subconscious mind but I could not for the life of me understand what the heck was going on.I was out as soon as my head fell on the pillow.The sunlight on my face was quite warm but the headache that assaulted me wasn't funny. I felt like the insides of my head was constantly being hit by the hardest hammer in the world.The groan that escaped from my lips was involuntary. I tried to get up but honestly the only thing I wanted to do was sleep throughout the day.I wouldn't even get up for the ......The Wedding.The speed I used to rise up from the bed could be added to one hundred ways to die because what was this. The headache came in thousand fold this time."Argghhhh" I groaned

Chapter Twenty Two-No Emergency

Vanessa's point of viewThe only thing amiss in the Thorn mansion was the lack of anything worthy enough to be called an emergency.However there was a few new additions. Not at the front of the mansion but at the back situated in the garden. Chairs were wrapped and arranged carefully side by side and there was this small pulpit where the priest was going to ordain the marriage.Elizabeth was nowhere to be found but I could see my sister and Daniel, Elizabeth husband ordering some people around and cussing out loud when they got it wrong."Where the fuck is the emergency and my brother?" I shouted out loud to no one in particular but to everyone that could give me answers.Mary was by my side but she said nothing.The activities going on in the garden continued going on but Victoria and Daniel turned around at the sound of my voice. Daniel gave me a strained smile that did not reach his eyes while Victoria was ecstatic to see me."I'm so happy Anthony was able to get you to come on ti

Chapter Twenty Three- Here Comes the bride

Anthony's point of viewThe urge to go into the bathroom right after Vanessa went in was stronger than any other situation I had seen myself in. I remembered the electric jolt I felt when I came into the apartment this morning and saw her lying on the bed, her body in this sort of babies position with her hair covering her face. She looked so much younger, I almost felt like we were in high school again.Then the call from dad about Victoria's dad going ballistic on Victor and he needed me to come sort out the issue. I could not leave Victoria alone but luckily for me, her roommate arrived at precisely that moment.Now here I was, taking the man I spent so much time grooming myself yesterday back to the rehabilitation center.Why did he have to behave this way?The car drive there was quiet because I had nothing to say to him at the moment. Sometimes when I was sure he wouldn't see me, I stared at him from the corner of my eyes.Vanessa, Victoria and Victor's father. The famous artis

Chapter Twenty Four-First time

Anthony's point of viewThe after party was interesting enough but honestly I just wanted to go home now. The events of the day had really exhausted me.My grandparents had gotten Vanessa in a chokehold and did not seem to want to leave her side any time soon. I knew my grandmother was already smitten by her judging by the numerous amount of times she kept on holding her cheeks.My grandfather too but he wasn't going to show it.Honestly, I just wanted to walk past without anyone noticing but my grandfather had eyes sharper than a hawk. He saw me and he called me over. I couldn't move forward without looking like a rude man who would definitely hear about it later."I see you guys have become acquianted with my lovely wife" I said, placed my hands casually on her waist then place a kiss on her cheeks.Grandma smacked my hand "Don't you think you guys have done enough kissing for today. Don't traumatize the older generation" She placed her hands over her eyes to drive home her point.G

Chapter Twenty Five- Honeymoon

Vanessa's point of viewWatching Anthony sleep peacefully after everything we did made me realize I actually wanted to start working as soon as possible.I did not want to rely too much on Anthony and his mom. And Victoria would be going to college soon if everything worked out. Oh my gosh.Anthony's penthouse was the definition of exquisite and modern. He had not given me a tour yet and the first time I came here, I was too much of a chicken to take the tour by myself.His kitchen where I had prepared breakfast this morning was nothing short of the latest technology. Something I knew he hardly used because though Anthony could cook, he preferred not to. It had take some practicing but I got used to the few gadgets I needed to use to prepare breakfast.I had seen his room. Had spent the night there and this morning too.But the rest of the apartment was still a mystery. I moved around the apartment taking note of the rooms, perhaps I could turn one to a designer workshop. The room I

Chapter Twenty Six- I think I'm inlove with you

Vanessa's point of view"Why the heck is this place scattered? Just two days and this place is a dump" I screamed as soon as I opened the door to my apartment.My ex apartment.Mary was seated on the floor, legs crossed together and arms stretched to the back in an abnormal yoga position. Mary was doing yoga. She only did yoga when she was stressed."What's wrong?" I asked coming to her side as fast as I could, I wrapped my hand around her shoulder.I could feel the tremors that occured within various intervals, the struggle not to cry as she shook really badly. I did the only thing I knew I would be able to do. I continued to hold her until every single tremor had stopped, every tiny hiccup was quenched and she could give me a smile on that pretty little face.Dressed in a simple sports bra and leggings, Mary looked like she should be in the gym she had a membership in and not in the apartment."I'm okay really" She said, her lips breaking into a grin that did not quite reach her ey

Chapter Twenty Seven- What is love?

Vanessa's point of viewBasically the only thing that could remove Mary's words from my mind was the touch from an angel.Or the biggest distraction in the universe.Anthony proved to be that distraction I needed because as soon as I stepped my foot on the floor of the penthouse, he was on me kissing me repeatedly like I was his lifeline and without me, he would just die."Slow down there tiger" I joked, my hands entangled in his hair while he kissed and suckled on the delicate part of my neck."You were gone for too long I guess" He whispered, he raised his face from my neck and looked at me with that boyish grin still plastered on his face.He looked even more handsome when he smiled. I held his head between my palms and just stared at those gray eyes like they were my anchor to the real world.Anthony Thorn was a beauty to the world.He moved his head from my palms and settled it down on my thighs then placed my hand back in his hair. He enjoyed it."So how's everything? How was yo

Chapter Twenty Eight- Ronald

Anthony's point of viewWatching Vanessa sleep turned out to be my favorite pastime once I got married to her. The rise and fall of her chest as she breathe in and out, the soft sighs she made which indicated she must have been having some sort of dream and the way she trashed around sometimes when she could feel no one on the bed with her.The questions she asked earlier kept on disturbing me.What would I have done if Ronald had told me he was inlove with me?How would I react in a situation like that?I had joked around the question, using jokes as my answer. Ronald would never be inlove with me because I wasn't even his type.And Ronald had talked to her friend without informing me. Was that the emergency he had to attend that was so important? We had not talked since the day of the wedding and despite my numerous calls which went to voicemail and my texts, he hadn't really answered any of them.And finally it dawned on me.The sudden realization hit me like a brick. The stress an

Chapter Twenty Nine- Close Friends

Anthony's point of viewThere was nothing that could scar a man for years than seeing your closest friend getting his back blown when you thought he was wallowing in self pity and hate and drowning in alcohol."The fuck" I shouted unknowingly.That was enough to get their attention and the girl turned her head to face me, showed me her pearly whites and continued what she was doing. Ronald on the other hand had gone further into the other world because he didn't even acknowledge me.I took this as a sign to disappear from the doorway and walk to the sitting room. My phone vibrated and I removed it from my pockets.Perhaps it was a text from Vanessa.It wasn't. It was a text from Josephine and Vanessa.I opened Vanessa's first."Hope you've seen him? Is he okay?" The text read.She sent another one to follow that."And if you don't see him, don't go into panic mode just yet. You have to do everything with a clear head"I chuckled at the absurdity of the entire situation. The fact that

Chapter Thirty - A drunken mistake

Anthony's point of viewI wouldn't have expected the sight in front of me but yet there it was, standing seductively in front of me like the temptress she was."Well Mr Thorn, don't you like what you see" She purred like a cat making me grimace.I raised an hand to stop her "I don't understand what the fuck you think is happening but it's not going to happen" I picked up the documents I needed then stretched my hands forward. She looked at my outstretched hands with confusion written all over her face."I need my keys back Josephine, I'm a married man now and I think whatever fooling around you're envisioning should stop right now" I said to her "I told you we were done"Confusion mixed with shock were the emotions written on her face now, her eyebrows raised high up and her mouth getting into an open O shape.She nodded her head and walked to where ever she kept the keys and when she was back, she handed them over to me.I took them and told her to leave the office. She would be tr
