Noah’s Pov:
That son of a bit-ch! He’s just lucky I didn’t want to create a scene else, I’d have punched him in the face that very instance.
I followed dad to wherever it was he was taking me and finally, we st©pped in front of a room.
“What’re you doing, Noah?” He turned and asked immediately.
“What do you mean you’re getting married to Maxine?”
I scoffed in surprise.
“Sorry, but I…don’t get your point. What’s wrong with getting married to Maxine?” I asked with my palms open.
“Because she…”
He paused and sighed.
“What do you even know about her? I mean..you’ve only gotten to meet her few days ago. So, how can you be so sure about getting married to her?”
“Well, if I can remember Dad, you also imposed this marriage stuff on me few days ago. So, what’re you talking about? You made it urgent for me and now, I also have to make a quic-k decision.
“Anyway, Maxine’s a nice lady. I’ve studied her for sometime now and I might say…she’d make a good wife.
“Like you’ve told me – the feelings might not be there now, but as time goes on, they’d surface. So, plea-se, don’t go against my decision” I concluded with a huff and inser-ted my hands into my trou-ser pocket.
Gosh! I hate it when he tries to complicate things for me.
He’s been the one hell – bent on ma-king me get married before gaining possession of the company. And now, I’ve
gotten a wife, He’s bringing up annoying as-sumptions.
“Okay, Noah. If you say so. I just hope it’s the right decision. After all, she’s one pretty lady”, he said and I muttered a “yeah” un-der my breath.
“Alright, then. Let’s return to the dining before everyone gets suspicious” he added and started walking away while I took in a de-ep breath and followed him.

Maxine’s Pov:
I felt so anxious as I sat on the dining.
Where could Noah be? And why’s he taking so long with his dad?
Oh God!
I suddenly felt like running away – running far from them because I felt I didn’t belong there.
Rex kept throwing loathing stares at me. And the Audrey – she had quite an inexpressible look.
But to my own opinion, she looked really soft and kind.
After a while, Noah returned with his dad and I suddenly felt relieved.
“Hey, is everything okay?” His mum asked as they took their seats.
“Yes – of course. Just a father and son talk” Mr Sigmund replied with a light chuckle.
“So…you’re Audrey, right?” He diverted his attention to the lady.
“Oh! Yes, sir” she replied with a polite smile.
“Ahh! I do recall your face a lot because I remember you coming frequently to the house back then with my boys”.
“Yes – you know she was Noah’s favorite” Rex ch!pped in with a smile and my eyes dimmed.
Huh? Noah’s favorite??
“Yeah…she was always around him back then” Mrs Sigmund also said and they all chuckled, except for Noah who didn’t even smile.
O…kay.
What exactly is going on?
“But, I’m curious, you know? What happened between you two? I mean…you had seemed inseparable, you know?” Mrs Sigmund asked.
“Well, things changed, mum. It wasn’t meant to last forever, I guess” Noah replied and a cold silence stepped in for a while.
Hm.
The Audrey’s countenance suddenly changed as she stared down at her food.
“Um…Maxine” Mr Sigmund cleared his throat and said and I looked at him.
“I actually want to use this medium to officially welcome you into the family. Since my son has decided to get married to you, I want you to know the decision’s highly welcomed by us all and we’re never gonna reject you.
“So, we’ll set out to work now and in a week time, the wedding should’ve taken place. Are you okay with it, dear?” He asked and I felt my cheeks become h0t.
“Y…Yes, sir. And…thanks a lot for accepting me. Its my plea-sure” I replied with a shy smile and suddenly, the Audrey lady stood up.
“Um…excuse me. I nee-d to make use of the restroom”, she said and left in a hurry before anyone would say anything.
Huh?
What is wrong with her?

ru-by’s Pov:
I sat next to Tammy on the floor as the cold breeze of the night made us shiver.
“I’m tired ru-by” Tammy squealed and gr!pp£dmy hand but I couldn’t even do anything to console her.
We’ve been out there for hours now, having nowhere to go to.
We just felt devastated and stuck.
There was no single person we could go to for shelter. Our parents’ wealth had made us so lazy and unfriendly and now, we had no one we could turn to for urgent help.
“What do we do, ru-by? I’m so hungry and nee-d a be-d to sleep. We can’t continue this way” Tammy wept on my shoulders and I sighed.
“Right now, Tammy, there’s nothing we can do. So far, I think we’d nee-d to go to Maxine for help. I think we’d nee-d to beg her” I replied and she flin-ched.
“Beg Maxine???” She skrie-ked.
“Yes. But right now, I don’t think that alone would make her hand us the keys. Tammy, I think we might nee-d to work as her maids” I replied ruefully and she moved away from me.
“Are you kidding me???” She scoffed.
“You…you want us to work as Maxine’s maids??? For real???”
“Yes, Tammy. At least, that way, we get to live in a house. And gradually, we earn her forgiveness”.
“She doesn’t deserve our forgiveness!”
“Of course, she does! Look carefully, Tammy. If the rumors are true, then mum and dad really killed her parents. So, she nee-ds our forgiveness”.
“But…she used to be a maid to us. How can we turn the tables around?”
Tears were alre-ady raining down her cheeks.
Gosh!
“Well, neither of us planned for this to happen. Now, if you really wanna get rid of this cold and hunger, you’d think wisely about it” I told her and she looked at me and busted into more tears.

Maxine’s Pov:
After a while, the Audrey lady returned, looking a little better.
She smiled as she took her seat, but stood up with her bag immediately.
“I’m so sorry, but I have to be on my way now” she said and I arched my brows.
So early?
“Huh? But why? You’ve ba-rely eaten” Mrs Sigmund said.
“Don’t worry, ma’am. I’m actually fine. I just…nee-d to take care of something important. Thanks for accepting me, by the way.
“Um…Noah”, she called.
“Can I have a word with you plea-se?”
Huh??
I looked at Noah immediately. What’s she talking about?
“Uh…okay, sure”, Noah replied and stood up.
“Thanks for the dinner once more. Bye Rex” she waved and left the room with Noah.

Noah’s Pov:
I followed her out of the room, wondering what she had in mind.
We got out to the facade and she st©pped walking and turned to face me.
Her bulgy eyes gleamed in the dark.
“Hi Noah”, she gave a light smile.
“I was actually scared you wouldn’t remember me” she added with a chuckle and I also smiled.
“Hi Audrey. Long time” I said
“Yeah – we’ve said that before. I’ve actually…missed you and just wanted to say a proper hi. I can see life is going on well for you. I mean…you actually getting married. Congratulations”.
“Yeah…thanks. And…I pray you find the same happiness” .
“Of course” she smiled and didn’t say anything else.
“So…I guess I’ll be on my way now. Take care” she said and gave me a p@rting hvg which made me a little uncomfortable.
“Bye, Audrey” I cooed and she smiled and finally left.
I took in a de-ep breath and watched her walk into her car and take off.
Oh! Boy.
Where has she been all these while?
Hm. Anyway, its a good thing to know she’s actually fine.
As she drove out of the compound, I turned around and returned to the house.

Maxine’s Pov:
I felt so uneasy knowing Noah was having a secret conversation with her. Why does she have to show up in the first place?
I mean…his ex. Why did she show up, huh?
“So Maxine, you really like my son?” Mrs Sigmund broke into my thoughts and I looked at her.
Oops! I don’t think I’m re-ady for this conversation.
“Um…yes ma’am”
“Are you sure? Or you’re only getting married to him cause it’s urgent and you probably have an eye on his wealth” Rex said and I looked at him in a ridiculous way.
Gosh!
“Let her speak for herself, Rex” Mr Sigmund cut in and he rolled his eyes.
“Okay…let’s continue, Maxine. Are you really getting married to my son cause its urgent or because you like him?’ Mrs Sigmund continued and I cringed a little.
“Well….the thing is, I’ve always crushed on Noah, ma’am, even before I’d gotten to meet him. So, I actually like him and…see it as an honor getting married to him” I replied and she nodded with a smile.
She was about saying something else when Noah suddenly walked in and I heaved a sigh of relief. At last.
He returned to the dining and took his seat next to me and Mrs Sigmund didn’t say any other thing regarding the issue and I wondered why.
“Is she gone?” She asked Noah and he just nodded and continued eating.
After a while, we were done eating and Noah announced our leaving, considering the fact that it was late.
His parents had excused him for a brief discussion while I waited outside for him.
And while waiting, Rex showed up.
“Hey”, he sm-irked as he stood beside me and I sighed
Gosh! Not now.
“plea-se, I don’t want any trouble” I said tiredly and tried walking away, but he held me back.
“Hey, chill. I just want to congratulate you on your engagement” he tea-sed.
“Don’t t©uçh me!” I snapped and wriggled my hand from his.
“Woahh! Looks like someone’s grown some wings, huh?” He laughed.
“Yeah – and trust me – I’m re-ady to cut out your ba-lls if you mess with me again” I said, pointing my f!nger at him and he wi-de-ned his eyes in shock.
“For real?? Wow! Do you care if we carry out some practice?” He said grumpily and moved closer to me.
“Rex!”
I heard someone call and turned to see his mother walking out with Noah.
Thank goodness.
“What do you think you’re doing??” She asked, alarmed while Noah just stared.
“Chill, mum. I was only having a conversation with my sister in -law” he said with a chuckle and walked away.
Gosh!
Noah only watched and didn’t say a word and I noticed he was looking kinda moody.
“Goodnight, mum” he said simply and started walking towards me.
“Um…okay son. Goodnight and take care of yourself, okay? Bye Maxine” she replied and waved at me.
“Thank you, ma’am. Goodnight” I replied in obeisance and left with Noah.
Finally. I just couldn’t wait to get home.
I sat next to him in the front seat as he started the car and took off.
Hold on; where’s the driver?
He kept his eyes fixed on the road and didn’t say anything and just immediately, it started raining.
Oh my God!
I had s-en-sed it from the house alre-ady. I knew it was gonna rain.
It was more like the rain had been waiting for us to set out on the road because it started falling immediately.
Holy Molly!
Thank goodness the road was clear and Noah tried to drive as fast as he could.
Suddenly, the unexpected happened.
The car broke down.
It screeched to a halt and the manner at which it had happened almost made me skrie-k.
Oh my God!
“Wh…What’s wrong?” I turned to Noah and asked and he gro-an ed and hit the sterling.
“I think we’re having a flat tyre” he replied and my heart skipped.
What?
