It’s now 6:00 am sitting outside my workplace with Taylor waiting on my husband.
“You sure you don’t want me to ride you home? ” Taylor asked for the hundredth time.
“He will be here anytime soon” I answered.
“Can’t you take a cab or something do you always of to listen what your husband say” Taylor argued.
“I don’t want us to end up fighting again so yes I have to listen what he said” I reply.
“Come over my house tonight we got some serious girls talk to do” Taylor said.
“I don’t know if I can…” she began making puppy face at me and I can’t let her down “Oh God OK I will come! ” I said.
She giggled then said ” Here comes your husband” I look up and saw his black car drive up beside me.
“See ya” I said then hug Taylor.
I hop in the car and he began to drive.
“So how was your day? ” Nathan asked.
“Hmm it was great what about you?” I asked.
“Bored” he reply.
The rest of the drive was silent we arrived home he open the door and we enter the house.
“Am starving cook dinner babe” Nathan said.
“Sorry honey am so tired and I will be going out… let the maid cook us dinner” I said.
I walk to my room I could hear his footsteps behind me.
“Where you going?” he asked.
“At Taylor’s house” I reply while taking off my jacket I sat on the bed and began removing my heels.
“So you got no time for your husband just because of your stupid friend” he said.
I was in no mood for arguing right now so I walk away heading to the bathroom. He grab my hand and grip it tight.
“What the hell you doing!” I shouted.
“Don’t you ever walk away while am talking to you!” he shouted.
“Am a freaking grown woman I do whatever I want to do!” I shouted while trying to pull away that’s when I felt a hot sting across my face I froze.
“Did you just hit me!” I shouted.
“You don’t do whatever you want because your under my roof!” he shouted.
“Well am moving out am sick and tired of you treating me like a freaking kid!” I shouted using all my strength and pull away. I quickly began to walk away this time I heard glasses breaking behind me I let out a loud scream and turn around seeing a angry Nathan. He glare at me my heart began to beat fast I was so afraid he will hurt me I began to run towards the door when I felt a strong hand grab my waist and throw me on the bed I landed really hard. He began to walk towards me while I shake in fear I quickly began to crawl further on the bed but he pull my leg and pin me down on the bed.
” You f-cking trying to cheat on me again well that’s not going to work Nicki you going to stay here tonight!” he demanded.
Tears began to roll out of my eyes “I wasn’t going to cheat on you I will never do that I was just going at Taylor’s house” I whisper crying he glared at me for a while.
“Let’s do this the easier way you stay here and no one gets hurt or you go and you get hurt what do you say?” he asked.
“I will stay” I reply.
“Good” he said releasing me.
I take a shower then lay in bed I texted Taylor telling her I can’t make it to her house tonight.
“Honey dinner is ready!” Nathan shouted from downstairs.
That freaking bastard I hate him I no longer love him he is freaking insane.
I slowly walk to the kitchen and was greeted by the sweet scent of baked chicken. We sit together eating dinner in silent until I break it and blurted out
“Do you love me?”
He look up at me from his plate “Yes” he reply.
Then why the hell you treating me like that I thought to myself.
The next day I woke up do my usual routine then my so called husband drop me off at work I gave him no goodbye kiss luckily he didn’t argue about it. I sign in then went to my office Taylor was already seated in my office she fold her arms looking pissed off.
“You blew the plan!” she whisper shouted don’t want Mr Jefferson hear us.
“Am so sorry” I reply walking over to my chair.
“Why didn’t you come?” she asked.
I can’t tell her what happened she will ask me a ton of questions and end up telling off Nathan which I know won’t end well.
“Nathan took me out” I lied.
“Seriously Nicki tell me a better lie…. I know when your lying and new you are” she said.
“I…no…” their comes a knock on the doors.
“Come on!” I said.
It was a delivery guy with a huge bouquet of red roses and small sparkling diamonds glittering on them they are cute but not from a cute hearted man.
“Ms Parker?” the guy asked.
“yes” I said.
“sign this please” he said I sign the paper then he walk away.
“Wow!” Taylor said excitedly.
I fake a smile and smell the roses it’s real roses.
“I believe you now… see ya at lunch girl where you will give me all details”she winked and walk out.
I look at the roses does he really loves me and treat me that way he is a freaking bipolar asshole. I got up grab the bouquet of flowers “Roses won’t do” I said then throw it in the bin. I heard a knock on the door followed by my boss entering the room with stacks of papers in his hand.
“I want you to make six copy of each
papers” he said then throw the papers on my desk while looking around my office tapping on his chin.
“Is there something wrong sir?” I asked.
He look at the bin with the fresh roses then look back at me.
“Is everything Ok with you and Mr Parker?” he asked.
How the hell am going to explain to my boss what happen. Hell no! he can’t know like seriously he is my boss and why does he even care, people can be so inquisitive.
He walk towards me and held my small hand in his large warm hands.
“You can talk to me Nicki” he said gently.
Oh my god did my boss just call me Nicki and not Mrs Parker!!
Wait why am I even excited about this…..hmm maybe because he is handsome and my name sounds sexy in his mouth…..God Nicki! What the hell your thinking you got a husband!
“Nicki… Why is your arm fill with bruises?” Mr Jefferson asked which snap me back to reality.
“Huh what bruise?” I asked.
I look up at my arm it was red and purple bruises from my husband hand last night.
I quickly cover my arm and look up at Mr Jefferson. His dark green eyes was fill with worries.
“It’s nothing” I said while walking away with the papers to copy.
“It doesn’t looks like nothing” he said.
I stop and he turn me around with his warm hand I wish he wouldn’t let me go.
“Talk to me Nicki I can help you” he said.
I look down at my feet I can’t tell him.
“I don’t wanna talk about it Mr Jefferson” I said fighting the tears back.
“Call me David” he said with a smile then hand me a card “Call me when you feel like to talk” he said then walk away.
I wipe my tears away put the card in my purse then went an copy the papers.
David Jefferson POV
Nicki is the most beautiful girl I ever seen she got a warm, kind heart I wish she was single. When I saw the bruise on her arm and the roses in the bin I felt so sad. If I have her for myself I would make her the happiness girl alive. I know it’s that freaking bastard Nathan Parker her so called husband abusing her. Why he have to be so cold to her? What the hell can a beautiful girl like that did to get those treatment.
I went to my office and sit down in my leather chair worrying about Mrs Parker.
