ir woke up to the awful sound of tters around her. She grabbed her pillows cing it over her head. “Get away Samantha! I don’t have the time for your rubbish today.”


    “Who is Samantha?” A deep voice asked.


    ir’s eyes flew open, as she jumped up, hitting her head with something as equally strong. “Fuck!” She cursed, falling back on the bed as she grabbed hold of her forehead. “What the…” The rest were words in a strangenguage even she didn’t know. She looked up to find a groaning Dn also holding to his forehead as he sent her a ugly look. “What’s your problem!” She fired. “Where you watching me sleep?”


    “What’s my problem? You’re the one with the Iron man head and I wasn’t watching you sleep…” He eyed her. “Why are your eyes red and puffed up?”


    ir frowned looking away from him. “None of your business,” she muttered. “What are you doing in my room?”


    He took a step back. “This is not your room ir. I suggest you pack your things out before Donnaes back and find you here.”


    “Donna?”


    “My help. This is her room and you shouldn’t be here. You know you could have asked for a room, instead of just barging in here like you own the ce. Now if you’re done drooling, get your things and… ra has made breakfast, go watch your face before youe down.” With that he turned to walk out, but then stopped just at the door. “Also, the doors to every other room is locked, the only one avable is mine so that’s where you would be sleeping this night.”


    “Not going to happen, no way am I going to share a room with you.”


    “Fine, then I hope you’ll enjoy your time sleeping on the couch tonight. By the time I get back from work, I want you out of here.”


    ir eyed his back as he walked away. She stayed still, not nning on moving till he had left. The moment he was gone, she quickly rolled out of bed. “Asshole,” she muttered as she wore her slippers hastily, rushing out of the room.


    As ir descended from the stairs, she ran into an elderly woman. She was carrying tworge bags in her hands, like she had just returned from a long journey. “Hi, good afternoon,” The woman greeted her with a kind smile. “You must be ir.”


    “I am. You are?” Though she already had an idea who it was already.


    “I am Donna, Dn’s help.” She gave a smallugh. “Sorry, but when I heard Dn got married, I said I muste back home immediately and see for myself, he is always ying tricks on me and I thought this was one of them.” ir gave an awkward smile in response as she didn’t know what else to say. “I apologize, I just didn’t think there was a woman strong enough out there to catch Dn’s heart, especially since I’ve never even seen you around before… I wonder what else I don’t know about Mr Lancaster.”


    ir forced augh. “Well, what can I say. Love really is a… thing. Anyways, I best be going.”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Going? Where are you going?” Donna looked confused. “Also, where is Dn, isn’t he supposed to be with you, his newly wedded wife? Or did he go to get something?”


    ir thought back to Dn’sst words before he left. “Uh… yes, he wanted to stay with me, but an emergency, he didn’t want to, but he had to go. He will be back soon though or whenever he is done.” Donna nodded.


    “Ok then. Have you heard breakfast yet? Give me a moment to drop my bags, I’ll tell Aliyah to prepare something for you.”


    “Oh, don’t worry about that. You should go rest… I suppose you just returned, don’t bother, I’ll try and make something for-”


    “Nonsense.” Donna waved her off. “Don’t say that. I won’t take a minute, you just go rest and uh… just rx.” ir gave her a grateful smile, deciding to ept the offer. After all, it was just a day after her wedding, it was nice having that feeling of being pampered.


    ir decided to do a little tour round the house, since this was her new home, it will do well to be familiar with her surrounding. After wondering around for hours, ir found herself in the library. There was something about the library that reminded her of the one’s back in her house, it wasn’t as big, but big nheless. She sighed going through the books, admiring it. There was something beautiful about big books, she might never get to read it, but she liked holding it, it was always hardcopy before softcopy.


    “ir? Are you in here?” It was Donna, she had just entered the room. “Oh, I was looking everywhere for you.” She chuckled. “And I did pass here before.”


    “Sorry, I didn’t hear you,” ir apologized walking over to her. “Do you need me to help you with something?”


    “Oh no, I was just going to tell you that breakfast is ready… though I wouldn’t call it breakfast anymore, it’s already past two.”


    “Really? I didn’t know.”


    ir ate slowly, watching as Donna walked around. “What time does Dn return from work?” She asked.


    Donna looked really surprised by this, as she would have expected ir to know. “Oh, I’m not sure. It depends, hees home before eight anyways, other times he stays till around eleven. You should call him and find out…?”


    “Yeah, sure,” ir muttered. She was happy with this, it meant that Dn wouldn’t be around during the day to make her life even more miserable. If he was out in the day like this, ir could see herself living with it. “Is it just us in the house? No one else.”


    “Aaliyah is also around,” Donna said. “Surely you must have met her.” ir nodded although she had no idea who Aaliyah was. “She doesn’t stay here though, shees in the morning and leaves, returns back in the evening for dinner and then till the next day.”


    “It’s kind of quiet around here.”


    “You will get used to it soon. I mean, it won’t be quiet for much longer when we have children running around, then you will surely miss the quiet.”


    ir almost choked on her spit when she heard that, though after that all she wanted to do wasugh. “Yeah, children will be nice,” she told Donna. “I’m just not going to have them in this house,” she muttered.


    “Did you say something?”


    “Nothing.” ir stood up. “Thanks a lot for the meal, I enjoyed it.”


    “Good, I’ll let Aaliyah know. Maybe you will meet her tomorrow, she had to hurry home.” ir took her te to the sink, after washing them. “So, how long have you known Dn? Was it a love at first sight?”


    “No. Dn and I… we met at work. I used to work in this bar and he came in one day, we just started talking and we connected a lot… so that’s it. We started seeing each other, though I don’te here often, he is usually the one whoes over to my ce.”


    “Oh.” Donna nodded. “That would exin why I’ve never seen you before. I have to say I’m a bit angry with Dn for not telling me about this. I didn’t know he could be this secretive.” She chuckled. “My surprise when I learnt that he got married yesterday, while I was away.” She shook her head. “I didn’t know he could be this secretive, he wasn’t like this with his ex, though he isn’t really the rtionship kind of guy.”


    “Really? I didn’t know that. So, has he been in a serious rtionship in the past? Anyone you felt he was definitely going to marry?”


    “There was one,” Donna said. “I can’t remember her name though, I don’t know much about what happened. She broke up with him, few days after I resumed here. Dn was heartbroken after that, you could tell that he really loved her.”


    ir found it hard to believe that Dn could have been in love with someone, or even had a heart that could be broken. She believed that Donna hadn’t gotten the correct story and was just saying what she thought had happened. “That’s sad.”


    “Yes, but if he never ended things with her, then he wouldn’t have found you, so in the end and then your marriage wouldn’t have taken ce, this worked well in your favour.”


    “Yeah, guess we were just fated to find each other or something like that. Anyways, I don’t want to disturb you, I’m still kinda new here. I’ll just goy and leave you to do your thing.”
