Chapter 2 Is this a dream

"Ava , where have you been ?, I've been calling non stop and why are you putting on white, that's not the colour for today haha" Mia asked while hugging Ava

"Mia I just got married" Ava replied , Mia burst out laughing "I just got married" Mia mimicked but looking at Ava she knew she was saying the truth and she wondered " To whom then, you don't have a boyfriend " Ava then explained what happened to Mia , Mia was puzzled but still supported her bestfriend.

Ava proceeded to rest and spend the rest of her day thinking of what will happen going forward and when it was time to go home she got a call from her father, Jeffrey

When she picked it up, his weak voice echoed "Ava, how are you?"

"I'm fine papa, how are you?" Ava replied "never been better dear" her father said laughing "I'm on a hike, you know, trying to exercise more"

"Dad" Ava called "yes dear " Jeffrey replied " I love you" was all she could say and then they proceeded to have a little discussion about their family members

In all honesty, Ava had never realized she was so brave - she had actually married a stranger! But, what was done was done, she would never regret her decision but she still couldn't tell her father bacuse to be fair, she did tell Curtis not to tell anyone.

While heading out , she spotted a car and with a strong bulky physique and a cunning personality.

It was Curtis , but why was he waiting for her.

She went over to tell him not to worry but she had a ride home already

"You're my wife now , we have to live together, where do you think you're going to" he said cunningly

"Ah! This dog " but he was right

"Can it wait ? My things are still in my apartment and I need time" Ava replied

"They're at my place now , don't worry, I had my assistant pack the things you'll need from your home , your landlord was so kind so you will come with me"

"Let's go home, wife"

When Mia came out , she almost had a heart attack

"Are you married to Curtis young?" Mia asked still in shock

It still didn't make sense to Ava because she's never heard of the youngs before now

" Mia you know him? Well we're heading home now so I'll see you tomorrow "

The bade goodbye to each other with Mia still shocked but happy for her friend

While in the car, Curtis looked at Ava and wondered how she hadn't heard of him

But quickly dismissed the thought

"Wife, tonight is our wedding night" Curtis said smirking

A look of horror quickly filled Ava's face , how could she forget the fact that married couples consummate their marriages

Curtis smiled...." Don't worry, I don't expect you to and will never force you" Ava heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. When they got to his place , it was a very big mansion.

They came down from the car with Ava's mouth in agape "This is yours?" Ava asked

It was too big for one person to live in "it's possible we won't see each other for days " Ava laughed while the workers ushered them in , the house was dark so Ava and Curtis just went upstairs

Curtis showed Ava her room and went to his room , it was beautiful and Ava couldn't stop being in awe , it was 5 times bigger than her room, "this place is a castle" "is this a dream?" Ava thought rubbing her eyes

She quickly went to take her bath and couldn't stop being in awe of the place , she sang while taking her bath , singing the song her mom taught her and when she was done she went out of the bathroom and quickly dressed up.

"Whoa, they even arranged my things" Ava said smiling but she couldn't wait to jump on the bed to sleep because of how tired she was from today but then she heard a knock on the door

"Madame , your food is ready" Mrs hades said

At that moment Ava's tummy growled and decided to have a little bite just to satisfy the hunger a little bit.

....when she went downstairs, it was just her so she quickly rushed to eat so she could sleep and when she was done she thanked Mrs hades and rushed upstairs to sleep.

At that moment, Curtis's phone rang and it was Melissa, his childhood friend calling so he picked it up and her voice echoed "Curtis, Hey"

"Hey" Curtis replied

"I will be back by tomorrow can you pick me up" Melissa said pleading

"Sure, no problem just tell me when"

"You know, it's been long we've seen each other, let's catch up , I'll tell my parents i'll be staying with you, just for a few days " Melissa said dreamingly

"No, you can't stay with me" Curtis replied and Melissa was beyond shocked

"...why? Don't you miss me " she said laughing and Curtis ended the call.

Melissa knew Curtis well enough , or so she thought but why wouldn't Curtis let her stay, he let her stay other times Melissa thought "or has he seen someone he likes, that's impossible, it's either me or no one" Melissa said menacingly.

On the other end , Curtis was reminiscing about his marriage, he never wanted to be like his father and decided not to get married and just focused on the company but life played its part with the help of his nana whom he loved so much so he could not refuse.

He was no longer a child and believed he could control himself "I guess I'll have to know with this trial marriage then" he said yawning but from this moment this became his greatest fear.
