Ydref known for cold prince turn himself sweeter and sweeter towards Richi and call her often 'heart' as sign of endearment.Richi never asked Ydref if he accept her already as his wife and love her.She's just enjoying and being happy from the moments they shared together.No pressure.One early morning Richi is being bustling herself in the kitchen engaged so much in her cooking skills.
"Heart,why are you smell so good? I'm still in my dreamland but you forced me downstairs"
"Stop fooling around,Dref.Have a sit and just wait,it will be cook in a minute.You want coffee?"
"Sure"
"Jen,can you please make a coffee"
"Yes,ma'am" was her replied.
After a minute,food were served.
"Representing my specialties tequila chicken wings,brown lentil feat pasta soup and boozy beaf steaks.And for our morning dessert thick and creamy choco cake with cherry toppings.Enjoy your breakfast Mr.Morillio" Richi acted as a cook.
"Heart,you are turning me into a stout whale."
"Whatever,lets eat"
They eat 'til their tummy's gratified.
"How was it? Does it taste good?"
"Well to estimate the taste it is not bad nor good,in between" he said between a laugh.
"I really hate you!"
"That's not what you make me feel when we were in bed."
"Lower your voice!They might hear you"
"Then what's wrong? We're married,married couple does it"
"Still. You should keep it private"
After breakfast they were both geared up ready to go in the office.Ydref offered to take her in the office that morning in which Richi was so surprised she don't even have the guts to talk to him inside the car.He notice her silence and grab her cold hand.She pulled it away but he took it back firmly.
"What's the problem heart?"
"Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why all of a sudden you are calling me heart and what are these sweet gestures your doing to me.Is this all an act? Are you punishing me for ruining your life?".
Ydref look puzzled about the sudden outburst of her wife.She look hurt.Pain was showing on her face.He stop the car and face her.
"Don't hurt me more with your lies,Dref.I knew you doesn't love me.So please if your doing this because something happened between us,don't.I married you for money I don't deserve your love"
"Is that what keeps you bothering? That you married me for money? The hell with that reason.Beside I knew you just wanted to help your father repay us with the money your family borrowed from us for your heart surgery.
And I'm really sorry for hurting you,for calling you gold digger.Sorry,if your husband was such a jerk towards you from the time we are married.I loved you heart even when there's nothing happened between us.And regarding your family's debt you already pay it with your heart,for giving me your heart".
"How did you know about my surgery? I never told you about it."
"Your father visits in the office.He asked me if you are alright.Then he started telling me about you,how they were hurt to see you hurting at the age of fifthteen.You were their only child they loved you more than themselves.You are their precious gem.And I really feel bad for treating you that way."
"Did you really loved me? How? I mean why?"
"I loved you because you're my wife.For being a wife even your husband was a total jerk.When you cooked for me in the morning even I said I would not eat.For helping me in the office even folks did not knowing you were my wife not just my secretary.
Being understanding and patient the times I whine and mad.And for giving me your smile when you are in pain because I hurt you.Lastly,for giving me your heart."
After she heard the words that comes out from the mouth of her husband her tears flows freely down to her face.She never expected even in her wildest dream her husband would said something like that.Richi was so happy she was in tears.She was crying like a baby.
"Hey!Why are you crying? Did I hurt you badly?I said I'm sorry."
"Yes,you hurt me you bad ass.If I just not loved you I'll show you a gun by now and buried your ass six feet below the ground" she said between tears."
"I love you too heart" he joked and hugged her tightly.
"Hey come on drive now we're getting late in the office."
"Its okay,who's the boss anyway"
"Shut up.You'll drive or I will drive"
Ydref no longer fight with his wife and started the car.🚗
