The picture above is a nice view of Rory's Beach house kitchen.

Little mix- Sweet melody.

Guys, I read the previous chapter of this book yesterday and I must say, I'm sorry. There are lots of errors and grammatical blunders...jeez, I'm so ashamed of myself 😭😭😭😭😭😔. So,v, from now on, I'll try to think straight while writing and try not to make mistakes. Of course you know my book is unedited, so please ignore the blunders and you'll see the beauty of the story. Thanks.

She video called Cassandra and to her surprise, she picked up at the first ring.
She stared at Cassandra in the phone as a smile spread over her lips. Her sister was in a robe that revealed her cleavages. Her smile disappeared completely when she saw Gray behind his wife, he was in briefs only.

"Cassie, what the hell did you two do?".

Cassie chuckled"How do you think I got pregnant? And besides this shouldn't be new to you, you must have done this with Rory by now".

"No"

Gray kissed his wife on her eyes, her nose and finally her lips. Cassie smiled during the tender kiss. " Honey, I'm making a call right now".

He groaned something that Matilda couldn't figure out and left.

"So, what's up?. I'm sorry for not calling all this while, I wanted you to have a good time "

"Good time my ass. So, you have time for me after kissing your husband. Well I seriously need to talk to you, I'm going crazy....

Cassie rolled her eyes " I'm sorry..I'm on way to the living room because I've got a friend a little sister that would like to talk to you'.

" Oh, really?. Lily and Belinda?". She beamed.

"They are here for the weekend... hold on, I'll get to them soon".

In no minute, Cassie tilted her phone to show Lily and Belinda.

" My babies". She squealed in excitement "How are you?".

"We are fine". Lily replied.

She told them about the weather in Maine and proceeded to tell them about all that had happened between her and her husband.

" Seems to me that he likes you". Cassandra said.

She frowned" He's into Celestine not me. They're always together, they almost kissed last night buh..."

"But you intervened". Linda chuckled "You are in love baby".

"I'm not in love". Matilda retorted.

"Let her be, she doesn't know yet. ". Belinda said with a sigh.

" My issue is with that bitch, how dare she mess with a Wright!?"

"Cassie, calm down. This is a minor issue, Matilda you have to get Rory". Linda beamed.

"I want to teach him a lesson, that's all. Getting him is not my plan". She wrinkled her forehead.

"Getting him is the same as teaching him a lesson". Linda said.

"Alright, first you have to spice up your fashion sense... meaning get rid of your baggy pants for the meantime".

"That's not gonna happen".

There was a short silence.

"Tell me something, how does that bitch dress?"

"She wears skimpy dresses...

" That's exactly why your husband is so drawn to her".

Matilda sighed " So what do I do?"

" Trust me". Cassie laughed " like I knew this would happen, we packed some beautiful dresses in your luggage.... Revealing dresses" . She added.

" I know. You girls deserve some smacking for that".

They all laughed.

"You need to research also, how to get a man, yunno". Belinda said.

"I'm sure that bitch will pay!". Cassie said.

Talking to her sisters really made her at ease. She felt like she wasn't in all this alone, they convinced her to get married to him in the first place, she shouldn't forget that.

She hung up and promised to call them soon to updated them.

"We're going to the beach tommorow, get prepared".

She rolled her eyes. They live in a Beach House, so why did he want  'em to go the beach?

Talk about crazy...

***

MATILDA IS CRAZY...

He smiled at her once or twice as he drove.
Rory wasn't one to get easily impressed by little things and small actions.

Hell yes!

He found her entertaining. He likes the fact that she wears anything she felt like, less sexy though. It spoke of  modesty.

She's beautiful, he thought as he drove. He glanced at her briefly, she's beautiful indeed.

But, maybe he thought that because she was endowed. This lady has some truly excellent curves.

And it wasn't as if he hadn't seen curves on a women before, he had had lots of women; women he barely knew their names. But, what's it with this lady?

"What?". She inquired

He realized he was  staring at her.

"Nice outfit". He said sarcastically.

She looked down at the overcoat she was wearing. This is what's funny to him?

If only he knew what she was wearing underneath the coat.
She had decided that she'd surprise him by dressing sexily, well, he'd have to wait till they get to the beach.

"Thanks". She said through gritted teeth.

That was it.

There was an inertia of silence.

Each of them sinking in their thoughts. There's lot to be said, a whole lot but they both decided to be quiet.

**

As his car pulled out in the beach, the first person she saw was Celestine; grinning from ear to ear.

Jeez ...that bitch.

Rory got off the car as she ran into his arms and gave him a very tight hug while she smirked at Matilda.

Matilda rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Rory". Celestine grabbed his hand and walked away with him.

Alright!. I'll give you what you want BITCH. She  smirked.

She got off the car , pulled off her coat revealing nice bikini. She tied a scarf  around her waist with a wicked grin on her lips.

She wore her sunshade.

The weather was warm, just as she'd like it. And the beach was a bit crowded.

She squinted her eyes beneath her sunshade; in search of her husband. He wasn't hard to find, simply because he stood out in the crowd. She found him lying on a beach mat with Celestine taking selfies beside him.

She walked gingerly towards them.

Rory stared at her, she smiled at that.

It's working, it really is working.". She screamed within her. Rory's looking at her.

Alright!

Time to deal with that bitch - Celestine

Matilda at the beach.😊

****

He gaped at his wife as she approached him.

She's beautiful. The perfect sophisticated woman who could sashay into any city with her lovely figure and attract the eyes of any man.
Around him, he could see other men staring at her.

Without a word, she settled beside revealing her long sexy legs.

He swallowed the lump in his throat and fixed his gaze on the tranquil sea to avoid staring at her.

It was so unusual for her to obey him without arguing but somehow he loved it when she argued with him. For example, when he had told her about visiting the beach, she didn't complain.

" Rory, I'll be right back. I need to get a cotton candy". Celestine said.

"I'll come with you". He offered.

With that, they walked off.

Matilda couldn't deny the fact that  Celestine was beautiful. She was wearing a red bikini, her artificial nail were polished yellow and her face was glowing with makeup.

No wonder Rory is so drawn to her.

*

"Rory, what's wrong? You don't seem excited about what I'm saying". Celestine said arching a brow at him

Thank God she said it herself.
All along, he's been looking at the sky thinking about Matilda. All he wanted to do was walk back to Matilda and kiss her...

Jeez

He shouldn't be having such thought right now.

"I'm fine. I just think we should head back"
He forced a smile.

"Go ahead, I think I need more cotton candy. Gosh I'm addicted to sugar nowadays".

He didn't reply her, instead he walked away.
He sighted Matilda. A smile spread on his lips.

But, she wasn't alone. Two men were laughing with her. One of them have taken his position beside her, looking her over hungrily.

He clenched to his fist. His eyes narrowed speculating with contempt and dismay. Everything in him seemed to explode.

"Matilda!" He yelled.

Slowly, she stood.

"This outing is over!!!". He grabbed her hand but she snatched it from his.

His lips compressed ruthlessly "Nice one Matilda. I thought you repented...

She glared at him "Honestly, I'm tired of all this. To hell with you and your outing".

She walked away.

He sat there, fuming. Matilda was driving him crazy and she knew it not.

-------------------

His phone buzzed. He looked at the caller I.D. Gray's name flashed on the screen.

"Nice timing, dude. ". Rory said.

"What's wrong? You sound really upset". Gray asked in concern.

" I'm upset. I'm really upset". He cursed briefly " Matilda...my wife is driving me nuts right now".

"Oh... really?."

He narrated the whole situation to his best friend.

"She is just.....". He cursed again.

Gray laughed over the phone " Relax man, relax. You are sounding like a jealous husband right now". He laughed again.

"This is not funny. Sincerely, I don't find this funny".

"I'm not going to advise you on this. I'm sure you'll sort things out on your own". Gray Chuckled.

"Fuck off. You're not helping!". 

He hung up.

She was his wife.

He could only hope men wouldn't go near her, ofcourse he knew that wasn't possible. He was trying to make himself forget that man had touched her at the gym because when he did think of it, he went crazy.

He had been sane before he met her but now, as time went by, he was becoming insane.
He watched as Matilda and Karen set the table for dinner.

Matilda picked up a strawberry and sucked it. Suddenly, he wished his lips could be that strawberry.

Fuck

He groaned inwardly.

"Dinner is ready". Karen announced in falsetto.

He scrambled up to his feet " Alright. Thanks so much Karen".

Karen took her leave and he was left with his wife who was already eating.

Audacious...

He settled opposite her, washed his hand and dug into the Basmati rice with his fork.

" Deliciouso". He mumured.

He stared at her as he chewed.

Earlier, he had kept staring at her, she had caught his eyes on her once. He surveyed her from head to toe. She was wearing a brown bathrobe that revealed large amount of her legs.

She caught his eyes, he looked away.

She had accessed  him too. He was wearing a jean tight over his trim hips, his shirt casually unbuttoned, showing the depth of his dark chest.

She slipped down to wash down the rice she ate. Almost immediately, she choked and let out a cough. She stared at the cup on the table not away from her. They both reached for it, his fingers brushed hers awakening her every nerve and sending her into chills of trembling at the same time.

He handed her the cup of water.
She gulped it  and moment later, her coughing subsided.

" Are you okay now?". He said revealing sparkling white teeth, the bulb light dancing in his eyes.

"I'm fine"

She stood to clear the plates and in the process a glass cup slipped from the table and fell to the floor.

He cursed before standing instinctively.

" You're barefooted, did you....

He didn't complete his statement.

He looked down at her legs, blood was oozing out of her right leg.
" You idiot....'.  His voice broke off.

She looked  down at her legs before starting out to the Kitchen. She didn't get there, she felt his hand around her waist, lifting her into his arms.

She protested " Put me down...Rory".
She seriously meant those words as a command,but they came out of her lips as a plea not a command.

But, he'd already spun her and headed for the bathroom. He out her down, opened the tap and let water run over her leg.

He went to the Bedroom to get bandage and peroxide

"I'll do it myself". She said

He ignored her and shut the running water. He bent, poured peroxide over her leg, waited a bit  for the peroxide to dry before wrapping it up with a bandage.

He carried her to the bedroom, then lay her on the bed.

She gasped when she felt his breath on her lips. She stared into his eyes, his eyes were a faction darker than usual. She felt her mouth go dry. Eyes wide, she licked her lips.

Rory was trying to control the force that was claiming him.
It was a surprising realization. No matter how hard he tried, his thoughts couldn't form. He couldn't think.
He looked into her eyes. Wow, he loved her eyes: her eyes were like two drops of coffee in a cloud of milk.

His gaze dropped to her lips, then to her breasts. He suddenly realized he was giddy.

" You shouldn't die". He could barely recognize his voice. " How do you think it'd sound if you lose your life on our honeymoon?". He chuckled wickedly.

Phew!!

The perfect way to back off.

He stood.

"I'm not going to lose my life". She snapped.

"Whatever. Don't try getting up. I'll do the cleaning". He gave her a quick odd look before leaving for the kitchen.

She stared at the door lost in thought. God, he had been so close to kissing her and she  had anticipated.
