It had become pointless for Leah to beg Adonis to let her go .
That dude had wax in his ears ! He never heard her cries .
"Good morning !"
At the sight of Leah in the kitchen ,the housemaid broke into hysterical whimpering ; and the cook , crying out "Bless God ! It's you ma'am!" she ran forward as if taking her in her arms .
"So what do you guys have for me today ?"She asked ,packing some jelly gums into her mouth .
"Baked kidney beans with alfredon !"The cook said .
"Gosh ! Who eats that ?"Leah asked ,surprised .
"I do ! "Adonis answered from behind and both the housemaid and cook shook in place .
"I see , you're already awake and spending time with these people ,ha !
Are they're now your friends ?"He asked , satirically .
"And you ..."Pointing to the housemaid ."What're you still doing here ,huh?
I thought I fired you !"He affirmed .
"I told her to stay ! You can both leave us alone !"Leah said like a boss ma'am.
"No don't leave! I don't chat in kitchens !
You ,follow me !"He commanded ,Leah dropped her jelly gums and followed him swiftly .
"What was the meaning of what just went on there ?"He asked ,increasing his voice pitch .
"What was the meaning of what? What went on where ?"Leah asked like she knew nothing.
"Don't give me that naive act ! I settled that woman with enough money and fired her and you ,you dare to flout my rules and ask her to stay?
Have you forgotten you almost got injured because she kept those stupid mop buckets around ?"His asked ,his nose flared .
"So what? Was it your legs that almost got broken ?
Was it you who slipped and fell ? No ,right ?
So why're you complaining?"she also asked and Adonis couldn't just believe his eyes .
She was giving him nasty answers in his own house !
"Look here Lea.."
"Oh please Adonis! Don't say anything! As a matter of fact ,you barely stay here now adays to come and order us around !
As you've locked me in here against my will ,you don't expect me to get up and stress myself with all the house chores right ?
So they'd help me and if you fire them , I'd bring them back because I'm not your maid !
Take a chill pill and relax or you can invite one of your many perverts to come home and please you !
X'cuse me !"Leah walked off on Adonis who was in disbelief .
"What's wrong with her?"He asked himself and later gulped a bottle of water on his dilemma .
"This woman certainly won't kill me !"He moved to the garden where Leah stood and enjoyed the breath of a beautiful morning .
Hugging her from behind ,she panicked and stayed low-key .
"You're so high today ,wife ! Any special reason ?
Did I do anything to anger you ? Are you angry at me ?
Are you feeling hurt ?
What's wrong ? "Adonis muttered patiently and Leah smirked .
He was asking like he didn't know what he had done .By bringing his mistresses to the house ,was he expecting her to stay calm after everything they've shared together?
"It's nothing !"She quickly said and kept a feet away from him .
"It's nothing ? If it's nothing then , why're you giving me a cold shoulder ?"He asked ,tugging her hair behind her ears .
He gently traced his fingers down her face and Leah wobbled .
"Tell me why you're angry at me and I hope to hear something other than not allowing you to visit your mother because you and I know that ,that is your punishment for disobeying me !"He said and gently sat under the summer hut .
"I said it's nothing ! Besides you don't expect me to always be in a good mood ; I've got problems and mood swings too !"she said on the low, because she was tired of all the fights that brought her back to zero efforts with him !
"And about last time , Leah ..!"
"I don't care , sir !"She said firmly and Adonis furrowed his brows at her .
This woman here was getting on his nerves .
"So you mean to say that if you and I get married ,you don't care if I have other mistresses?"He asked ,his voice on calm but held a wrath of ego that was waiting to see her reaction .
"What ?"She questioned surprisingly .
Who ever said she was going to marry a psycho like him ?
And who put it in his mind that they were compatible in the first place ?
Adonis is a psycho and Leah didn't like psychos .
Besides ,every normal man who routs for peace would like to stay with one woman but since Adonis is a psychopath,he just can't do without two ,three women in his bed at the same time .
"Thwart !"Leah thought angrily .Her feet wobbling again and her fists clenching like she was about to knock him down to the floor.
"Leah ! Won't you talk or you're just pretending not to hear and understand what I just said ?"He asked ,rising up to his feet .
"I'll never marry you !"She said , amidst her thousand thoughts and Adonis just pretended not to hear that .
"I'm also not asking for your opinion on whether or not to marry me !
I'm just inquiring from you , if it wouldn't be a bother .
So tell me ,is that going to bother you or not ?"He asked ,grabbing her shoulders tightly.
"You're not well Adonis ! You're a psycho !
I don't want to marry you and I won't marry you !
You can't force me to do that ! There was no part of the contract that stated that we're to get married so you better stop this madness and let me be !"Leah slapped his hands off her angrily .
"So you know it's a contract ? And you're not allowing me to have my peace ?
You know it's a contract ,and you want to run away ?
Leah ,may I take the liberty to remind you ,as far as you've not fulfilled your purpose ,you can't leave ." He echoed .
"The contract ends in a week ,six months of my life is already gone ,what's a week that I can't wait for ?
You need not remind me at all ,I know what I got myself into .
I'll not do anything that's not stated in the contract and that includes getting married to a psychopath like you !"Her fingers continually run into his chest angrily .
"Okay ! We shall see who's finally gonna have a last bite of the cake !
Whether it's you or me !"He told her after winking sarcastically at her .
He began to walk away from her ; ego shadowing his every step and confidence running all over his body .
"Hey Adonis ! Adonis !"Leah rushed into his study .
"Stop this ! You know you can't force me to marry you !
I don't want to !"Leah said , slamming her palms against his desk .
"You don't want to marry me ?
Do you have a choice ? Leah ,I'm not forcing you to marry me ,I'm only granting you your wish .
I don't want jealousy to kill you by the day ,you'll make a good wife ."
