EPISODE TWENTY-THREE
FLEUR POV
•~•
I woke up the next morning feeling so sore, Mateo almost broke my waist last night due to his rough pounding.
He’s not on the bed anymore, I picked up my clothes and put them on one by one.
Stepping down the bed, I dragged my legs out of the room so as not to be late for work.
Then, Mateo came out of the room with a tray containing small plates, steaming hot.
” Good morning, Mateo “I stuttered feeling so embarrassed, The bed is so rough and stained with blood and his spe*rm.
I should have cleared it.
” I will clear it out “I mumbled immediately he took his eyes there.
” Good morning, How are you doing? “He asked and I nodded.
” I’m good, I prepared some soup for us, Come over to lick it before I wash you up ”
” Uhmmm, I’m sorry but I need to go to work, I….”
” Don’t worry, You’re not late already, You should take the day off, You’re still sore ”
” Alright, thank you “I stuttered before walking slowly you to him.
I collected it from him and sat beside him before sipping it.

MAYNARD POV
She look so tired and exhausted, I made her went through a lot last night.
Her body couldn’t take it anymore.
I sighed before stepping down the bed so as to wash myself up.
I don’t think she will be able to go to work today, I will handle all the office work myself.
” Good morning sir “I heard her soft voice and turned to her.
Her eyes look bleary and messed up, Like she cried the whole night.
” How are you? “I asked straightening my suit and she nodded.
” I’m fine but sore ”
” Sorry, I’m on my way to the office, You can take the day off, Make sure you use the drugs on the table, I ordered some food for you”
” Thank you, Are you sure you will be able to cope with the office work? ”
” Yes of course, Don’t worry, I will handle them ”
” Alright then, Bye ”

ZOE POV
I walked to the office slowly, with my steps measured.
Maynard sent for me, I’m sure his Dad explained to him already about the marriage.
The receptionist led me in, Thankfully, Magnolia isn’t around.
I entered the office and met him putting off his jacket.
” Good Morning, Maynard “I greeted in a soft tone, He turned to me and let out a small smile.
” Have your seat ”
” Sure, thank you “I mumbled before taking my seat.
He sat on his chair and stared at me carefully.
” You’re ready to spend the rest of your life with a man who doesn’t care about you or feel anything for you? “He started with a cold tone, Mg heart skipped a bit before arranging my dress again.
What’s he talking about?, I thought his Dad briefed him about it already.
” I don’t understand what you’re saying, is there a problem? ”
” You understand me quite well, Zoe,, Before you come back here, You have a boyfriend, And you guys were deeply in love, Then, what happened?, Why did you insist on sealing the deal with marriage?
When you clearly know that I’m not in love with you?
” But I’m in love with you, Maynard, And my love is enough for the two of us, Trust me, I wish you spend the rest of my life with you ”
” Let’s sign the documents, We can talk about this later in the week, I have lots of things to do ”
” Alright then “I mumbled before bringing out the documents, He took one of his pen and signed it carefully.
I signed it as well, He took a deep breath before closing them.
” You should leave now, Thanks for your time ”
” Alright then “I mumbled before walking out of the office.
Immediately I’m out of the room, My tensed body was at peace.
I smiled gently as I stare at the documents.
Now, Everything is sealed.

I wonder where he’s working now, Imagine sleeping with a man I don’t know anything about his occupation.
