Chapter 2 A delicious meal

"Please give me a lift, I have no money on me", She pleaded with the 50th car but just like others, it zoomed off immediately, it heard what she had to say.

She had nothing on her, not even her phone and by the look of things, she must have spent 10 minutes on the road already.

"Please help me... " she didn't even complete her words before the car zoomed off. She sighed.

With no other option, She took to her heels running as fast as She could.

**

She stopped abruptly, she had been running for at least more than 30 minutes but still hadn't gotten to half the road.

She stared at the far end of the road, her breathing heavy, she was completely exhausted but she had to keep going, this was what she signed up for after all.

She took to her heels again, this time running much faster than last time.

**

She held her knees slowly, bending her back in a curve. She banged on the gate softly.

The door opened up, upon sighting Olivia, Oscar, the security man opened the door immediately.

"Welcome ma'am", She bowed. "Ye..ss", Olivia replied out of breath, rushing into the compound, heading for the door.

She twisted the hinges and walked in panting heavily.

"Where do you think you are coming from?" Ethan's voice rang in her ear.

"From the place, you dropped me off", As much as she wanted to sound nice, she couldn't stop the sarcasm in her sentence.

"Are you mocking me?", Ethan yelled. "You good for nothing, wretched soul", He added.

"I'm sorry", Olivia bowed. "How many minutes did I give to you", He asked.

"Twenty minutes, She replied. "Why did you spend an hour more?", His voice was soft.

" I'm sorry", she bowed. "What should I do to you?, He asked. His voice was still calm.

She knew better not to annoy him. "Punish me", She could feel the heat in her words.

"OK, since you asked for it" , He smiled. "Go out, and stand outside the gate in the sun", He ordered.

"I'm only lenient of you because you have been obedient today, you didn't manage to get me angry and also i'm in a good mood, you know I just got married after all", He smiled.

"Thank you", Olivia bowed before walking out. Oscar stared her as she slowly pushed the door open, standing in the sun.

**

"Should I bring you some water ma??", Oscar asked. "No, I'm good", Olivia smiled at him, Oscar nodded and went in.

She was lying yet again. She felt completely exhausted and almost dehydrated.

She hadn't had at most water in the day. Her stomach was groaning loudly, her head banging with a splitting head ache.

She had been standing under the sun ffor five hours straight now. She signed up for this anyway, but why does it hurt so much.

Maybe because it was coming from her own husband. She missed her mom so much, so much.

If only she never fell sick, if only they were a little bit rich, now her mom was in a coma with her being left to endure pains; to suffer.

**

**An hour later**

" Young Master asked you to come in, Ma'am",Oscar said. Olivia nodded, slowly walking into the house, she was completely weak, not a single strength left in her.

She slowly opened the door and walked in. Walking in like someone likely to pass out soon.

"What's wrong with you??", Ethan asked staring at the pale looking Olivia. "Nothing, I'm good," she said almost out of breath.

Ethan stared at her, she looked pathetic, just like how he wanted her to. He wanted to make things clear.

She shouldn't feel pompous and bossy, just because they are married now", He started.

" Dad will arrive soon". "Go prepare a delicious meal".

" Was he really serious right now?" , couldn't he see how exhausted she was?", She almost voiced out but they remain just thoughts playing in her head.

"Now!", Ethan yelled. "Yes!" She bowed making her way toward the Kitchen. Immediately she got there she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge gulping everything down her throat in a hurry.

She gasped briefly throwing the bottle into the trash can. It was time for her to get to work.

**

She stared at the mouth watering dishes in front of her, they were perfect. She smiled satisfied with herself.

She slowly took each of the plate to the dinning room she had cleaned earlier on.

Setting the table perfectly well. It was the first time she was cooking for him and she wanted him to be impressed.

Plus he was in a good , mood, she wouldn't wanna ruin that.

She smiled at how perfectly well she arranged everything and headed for the living room.

"Dinner is ready" , She said Ethan took his gaze from his phone to her and back to his phone as if to acknowledge her presence and letting her know he wasn't ready to reply her yet.

"Ok", He said after almost five minutes. "Yes" , Olivia said before leaving.

"What do you mean by Yes?", "Have you gone blind, or he meant he couldn't see me?".

"Oh no!, I forgot". " You must show that you are a young billionaire, the son of Mr. Peter Harrington",

"You must make this girl feel worthless", She soliloquised demonstrating.

She sighed briefly, if only she could walk straight to him and say all this but then she would be thrown out and he would most definitely asked her to return the hospital bills.

Those thought left her head immediately she saw him approaching.

He adjusted one of the chairs backwards, gently sitting down.

Olivia immediately dished out some of the food into the plate in front of him.

Ethan slowly took the spoon, spooning some into his mouth, his eyes widened almost immediately.

The food, he hadn't tasted anything like that in his whole life. The food, it was so... .
