Love Hate Relationship by Goodness Shadrach (best business books of all time TXT) 📗

Sasha stood staring at him, how did he know? Should she tell him that her plan changed immediately she knew he was the groom? Will it change anything? Will he believe her? She thought of what to say but can't even think of anything.

Michael took a deep breath and hid his emotion deep in his heart "since that's the case. I will give you the contract but you have to do everything I say, starting from no more work."

"But what will I be doing here?"

"You are going to stay here and practice how to be a good wife and yes, you are not to see those women you called friends anymore."

"What!"

"Yes, if you want the contract, you have to earn it" he replied and walked past her to the stairs.

"It's not fair" she whispered.

Yes, it's not fair, because you married me for a freaking contract, he so much wanted to say but changed it to "I do what I want."

Sasha couldn't control the tears anymore, she really want to shout at him that she love him, that she married him because of her love for him and not because of the contract. That he doesn't have to treat her like this, that he can be loving to her, caring, but will it change anything? He hates her, shouting that to him won't change anything. She slumped on the floor and hugged her knees to her chest.

Michael watched her from the stairs, he wanted so bad to go to her, to pull her in his arms, to hug her and tell her he is sorry to make her cry, to tell her everything is going to be okay. He took a step and stopped himself, hell no, why will he do that? She started it all, she hurt him first, back then in the school, she hurt him first, why should he apologize to her? She brought it upon herself, he is only paying her back, let her feel the pains she made him feel. He knows it won't hurt her like it did to him after all, she doesn't love him. But he is going to make her life a leaving hell.

Thinking to that, he shut his eyes and when he opened it again, all the compassion was gone, all that was left there, was coldness, cold enough to freeze even a Yeti, he turned and walked into their room.

Sasha walked into the bathroom fifteen minutes after Michael left the house. She stepped into the tub, the hot water sooth her aching bones. She shut her eyes and held her breath before going under the water. She raised her head when she was out of breath. She opened her eyes and filled her lungs with air. Should she call his mother? But won't it be bad for her to call her mother in-law to complain about her son three days after their wedding? But what about her own parents, should she call them?

She heard her ringtone blaring in the room and wondered how it got there, she could remember she wasn't with it in the car when she woke up, including her purse. She stepped out of the tub and wrapped herself with a towel and wrapped her hair with another. She stepped out of the bathroom and saw her phone on her dressing table together with her purse.

She shook her head unbelievably, he brought her phone and purse upstairs but he actually let her sleep outside, just what kind of man is this? Her phone started ringing again and she picked it up, it was her mom calling.

"Hi mom."

"Hello baby, where are you?"

"At home."

"Wow, enjoying your honeymoon?"

"What honeymoon mom?"

"Oh, come on sweetheart, you mustn't travel before you have a honeymoon. You staying at home now proved it."

Sasha sighed, of course she will say that "why did you call mom?"

"Sweetheart, I haven't heard from you since you got married and you never bothered to call either. Why don't you come home and have lunch with me hmm?" Angelica asked.

Sasha thought about it, her dear husband stopped her from going to work but he didn't stop her from going out. Thinking of how boring it was in the house on Sunday when she was at home, she really don't want to experience that again. She would rather she listen to her mother non stop talking than stay alone, she thought "fine. I will be there." 

"That's my honey. I will be expecting you" Angelica said.

"Bye mom."

"Bye love" she hung up.

Sasha sat on the bed and unlocked her phone only to see fifteen missed calls, ten from Janet, two from Agatha, two from Agnes and one from Marilyn. She groaned and called Janet first "hey love."

"What was the meaning of what you did last night?"

"Sweety I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Sasha we went out together and you abandoned us at the dancefloor."

"It's not like that, I swear. I went to the lady's room but Michael showed up, he carried me to the car from there. I swear I didn't just leave."

"We were all drunk, we wanted to leave but decided to wait for you cause we can't leave without you only for some bouncers to approach us, telling us, you asked them to take us home. I mean we appreciate the lift but at least you should have told us yourself, tell us you are okay. Agatha refused to leave until she sees you and I was calling you only to realize that you left your phone and purse with us. It was after we found out that Michael is the owner of the club and that he took you home that we agreed to leave. I gave them your phone and purse to give to you."
