The act of marriage( Book 1)

CHAPTER 7: Plan into action!

ADDYLINE'S POV

"That is for me to know and for you to find out" what do I have to find out?

The past four days had gone by in a haste, which consisted mostly of me trying to avoid my friends especially after they visited my mom before she went back home. She decided to complete her mission by telling my friends that they would be seeing a certain someone soon. After that my friends started calling me every chance they got, invading my working time just to find out who it would be.

It had been stressful for me considering the fact that I had no idea what that weird man had in store. He had left me flabbergasted that night when he had kissed my cheek. Maybe I was making a big deal out of nothing but it was not every day a girl like me received kisses from a Greek-god.

How was it possible that you could like a person and still want nothing to do with them? Yes, I did admit that I might have developed a little crush on that arrogant man, I mean who could blame me, right?

He was a sight to see, I was sure that God took some extra time off his schedule just to make a masterpiece of a man but I think he forgot to add some human emotions such as compassion.

I was angry at him because he had left me hanging, how could he just leave and not tell me what our next plan would be. I didn't want to be dependent on him, I wanted him to treat me with the same respect he had for his business associates. Since we were doing business together it was only fair that we both know the plans, steps and innovations we were to take. I couldn't live for two years with him and always have to wait for him to tell me what to do. I really wished I had some kind of communication with him so that I could give him a piece of my mind.

"How much for those thoughts?" Freddie said as he entered my office looking worriedly at me.

I sat straight on my chair and sighed.
"Do you have a million dollars for moi?"

"Well if that's the case, how can I be of help? You don't have to say if you don't want to tell me." He sat next to me on my desk.

I looked up at him and gave him a small smile. I really needed to work on my life.

"Heee..... Don't worry about me, I'm just worried about mother dearest."

Well, I was partly telling the truth so I didn't have to feel guilty about hiding things from him.

"How is she? Is she getting worse?"

"I don't know, I don't know Freddie. She has built up walls in a way to not let me and Lily worry. She does not realise that it makes me worry even more."

"You can't blame her Addy, she knows how you get when things go wrong. You always want to be in control, but sweetheart, you need to remember that there is no controlling your mother's sickness. All you can do is try your best to make her feel better." He advised.

"I know, but there must be some other way. I have heard from a certain person that it is possible to cure Leukaemia but it must be at a certain stage. If it passes that stage then there is no hope. The only things that I do know are what I see when I get her doctor's weakly report, but I need her to speak up as well.” I said.

Freddie looked at me with a deep frown. "You want to know at which stage her Leukaemia is at, so that you may try and cure it?"

That was more of a rhetorical question considering his weird facial expression.

"You don't think it's possible?" I asked.

"No that's not why I'm getting worried. It's how you seem to be too hopeful... Addyline, I don't want you to have a breakdown when this does not work. Somehow I feel like you won't be able to get back up." He said grimly.
