LIFE OF AN HEIRESS

Chapter 8

Nasir's pov

After the little warning I gave hannatu things became a bit awkward between us, not only was she avoiding me but she would wear so many layers of clothing it made me a bit uncomfortable to watch how much she sweat in them. I didn't say anything though, I know it's probably her way of dealing with the situation.

"i-i was thinking if we could go out tonight?" I hear her voice call from behind me

"Yeah that's fine, we'll be leaving around 7pm" she left without saying anything else or replying to what I said. I sigh and got back to watching my TV show.

After getting dressed, we decided on going to a seafood restaurant where we ordered different things. I'm pretty sure anyone in my position will be feasting on the food but I couldn't, mentally and physically. I just stared at hannatu, she looked so good, sexy was an understatement. I bite my lip as my thoughts get a bit dirtier than it should, a throat clearing opposite me had me quickly looking back at my 'wife'.

"Are you okay, you're just staring off into space?" she asks sounding genuinely concerned

"Yes i-i'm just thinking" I winced at how hoarse and deep my voice sounds

She shrugs and goes back to eating while I continued staring, after few minutes I couldn't take it and excused myself to the bathroom.

"Are you okay?" a voice which belonged to a guy the same size and height as i asked, I could tell he's form Nigeria from his thick Hausa accent.

"Not really, but I'll be" i sighed miserably

"You sure? Cause you looked like you were ready to pounce on the young lady out there." he teased with a smirk as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Was it that obvious?" l ask after giving up on arguing with him.

"Yeah, it really was obvious. Kinda felt sorry for you." I chuckle and he joins me

"I'm Nasir, and you are...?" I introduced myself

"Kabir, and lemme guess you're here for your honey moon?" I nod at him stiffly

"Same here, and I'm regretting coming because the amount of shopping my wife does is outrageous and criminal." I smiled at him thanking god that hannatu had that under control.

We talked a bit and exchanged numbers hoping to meet when we had free time, I got back to hannatu to find her eating a slice of cheese cake and ice tea.

"I'm gone for less than 30 minutes and you've finished everything and you're eating desert?" I raise an eyebrow at her and she let's out a giggle, kinda cute but definitely not her.

"Yeah, a-and so-so? " she slurred on her words

"I'm just saying " I say looking over at her to check if she was okay.

"Y-you're handsome, a-and hot, but you're also an asshole sometimes. I mean why can't I wear what I want? I-is it my fault I'm sexy " she rants, and that's when I knew something was definitely wrong.

"Oh fuck!" I swear when I took a whiff of her drink and it smelled weird

"Where did you get this?" I ask her

"Some guy came over and gave it to me, he started hitting on me and I told him I was married so he left this and told me to take the drink anyway." I clench my fist as I call the waiter over.

"What the hell is wrong with this place? a guy literally drugged my wife. What if I wasn't with her, what would've happened?" I scream on top of my voice which seem to get other people's attention
