CHAPTER ONE

Hey there my name is Bianca and this handsome guy sitting next me is my husband Luke Mark but before we ended up here, we faced the hardship in our relationship just like any other couple does, and now I'll like to take you all on the journey and share our love story with you.
One Afternoon
I pulled my car over at (L Mark Enterprise) the tallest glass building I've ever seen, I got out from the car wearing (Blue skinny jean, white shirt with two top button-unbuttoned and some white wedges) I walked inside and everyone were going up and down as if they are about to miss the dead line or something
I went to the receptionist desk "Good afternoon" I greeted the receptionist
"Good afternoon Ma'am" She replied
"Bianca Blue, Is your boss free?" I asked
"Right Ms Blue I think Mr Mark is still in the meeting"
"Great in that case I'll wait for him"
I walked away from the reception desk heading to the elevator then I heard the receptionist making a calling I bet she was calling Mr Mark assistant.
"There is a woman coming there her name is Bianca Blue she's looking for Mr Mark"
The elevator doors slide opened I got inside and pressed the top floor button when the elevator got to the top the doors slide opened and there was a classy lady waiting for me she was wearing (White pencil skirt, pink blouse and pink heels) and her long hair let loose
"Ms Blue welcome my name is Emily I'm Mr Mark assistant"
"Okay hey nice to meet you Emily I'm here to see your boss"
"Ah Mr Mark is currently in the meeting right now"
"Its fine I'll wait for him in his office" I whispered while passing her and headed to Luke Mark's office
His secretary rushed in front of me blocking me "Ms Blue you can't just..."
I stared at her "Do you know who I am get out of my way" she moved aside "Thank you" I opened the door and got inside and closed the behind me and walked to Luke Mark's desk I slowly traced my fingers on the desk and walked around his desk and putted back his chair and sat on it "Luke Mark your time has come" I turned around and faced the outside view through the window.
After a short while I heard the door opens and some footsteps walked towards me and stopped shortly
"Excuse me who gave you permission to sit on my chair?"
I slowly turned and faced him he was wearing (Black slim fit suit, white shirt, black tie and black shoes)
"Why are you getting hyped up it's just a chair"
"You..." Luke whispered
"Yes me, your time has come Luke Mark" He slowly walked around the desk and turned the chair around so that I can face him he putted his hands on the edge of the desk behind me and stared at me with his face close to mine
"My time has come for what?" he spoke slowly with deep voice
I sighed "Don't play dump with me"
He smiled at me "This feisty attitude of yours reminds me of the first time we met"
I remembered:
Luke's car pulled up at the entrance the (CEO) and the driver got off and open the door for him when Luke got off the car he was this tall handsome with serious face wearing (Navy blue slim suit, white shirt and brown shoes) he walked in the company reading a file then he bumped into me hitting my shoulder that caused me to almost fall down as I was also walking fast not looking where I'm going as I was busy looking for something in my bag.
"Ah..." I yelled with my eyes closed that moment I had made peace with the fact that I was going to fall on my ass or my face and be the laughing stock of the entire day but suddenly I felt my hand being held with force that enraged me I quickly turned and looked at the person who held my hand and there was this tall good looking guy who smelled like heaven we stared at each other without blinking an eye still holding my hand.
"Are you blind, can't you see where you are going?" I whispered
"Excuse me, you bumped into me alright" Luke replied I looked up at him then we both looked at our hands he quickly left my hand I sized him from bottom to top.
"No wonder you didn't see me you are tall as a pole" I heard some workers holding their breath I looked around
"And you are stupid as you look to walk around counting your footsteps" Luke whispered that shocked me a bit
I sighed "Or maybe the tall walking pole should stand still instead of walking around reading files like a stupid person he looks.
"Excuse me" Luke said staring at me
"Go ahead I'm not stopping you"
Luke stepped closely in front of me "How dare you talk to me like that, do you know who I am?"
I narrowed my eyes at him I raised one of my eyebrow "I'm sure you are dying to enlighten me but it's not my business to know who you are, as you didn't seek a chance to know who I am now without wasting each other's time as we already did I suggest we both go on with our day"
Without Luke replying we passed each other and walked away, as from the distance we looked back at each other with annoyed faces he got on the elevator and I made the exit.
The memory ends:
I slightly hit him "You ruined my feisty ruthless act"
"I'm sorry you are just cute"
"But tell me my acting was promising right?"
"Yes absolutely" Luke whispered I pushed him and stood up from the chair I made him sit down and sat on him and rapped my hands around his neck "You were saying my time has come for me to do what?"
"Can we go to the funfair tomorrow it's been a while not doing something for fun just the two of us today I got my leave?"
Luke quickly replied "Funfair no way forget it think something else plus I have to fly to LA tomorrow" I made a sad face for being disappointed I stood up from his lap took my bag and walked to the door as I was about to open the door I heard him calling his assistant.
Phone beep:
"Emily"
"Yes Mr Mark"
"Clear my schedule for tomorrow and hold my calls I won't be at the office"
"Yes Mr Mark"
"Thank you Emily" Luke ends the call "Can you smile now?" I smiled still facing the door Luke stood up from his chair and walked to me I felt him standing right behind me he turned me around and lifted my head holding my chin so I can look at him he kissed me "I'm sorry" I smiled and kissed him back.
I buttoned his blazer "Do I need to sulk first in order for you to comply with me?"
"I guess you got me under your spell"
I raised my eyebrows "Trust me i don't need a spell to make you comply or come with me just your conscience will do the work"
"Really and why would my conscience compile me to do that for?"
"Because your conscience knows that if you don't do that I might find..."
He stared down on me "I dare you to say it"
I gave him a dare look "I might, No I would find someone else to accompany me"
He gave me a blink stare "Even after i just told you, you dared to say it"
"Luke Mark it seems you are forgetting me, even if you dare me I won't tremble on your feet"
He just shook his head "Bianca Blue you are the only woman in this world who has a sharp tongue when talking to me"
I rapped my hands around his neck "And that is why you love me so much, because I'm one of the kind."
He pulled me closer "Yes you are" and he kissed me again
"Shell we go?" I asked
"Yes ma'am let's go" Luke opened the door behind me I turned and we walked out holding hands
"Thank you Emily"
Luke looked at her with a serious face "Emily you..."
I cut it him off "Emily if he bothers you I'm just a phone call away alright?"
"I see so you have a shield on your side"
Emily smiled at us "Thank you Ms Blue"
I sighed "Emily how many times I've told you to call me Bianca?"
She looked at Luke "Many times but I'm just not used to it" Immediately I understood
"Alright I got you"
Luke walked ahead of me holding my hand "Okay let's go"
"Thank you again and enjoy you're the rest of your day"
"Thank you, you too"
Luke looked back "Bye Emily"
"Goodbye Mr Mark"
Luke and I walked to the elevator he pressed the button as we were waiting I held his elbow and looked up at him
"Can we go straight home I need to prepare dinner I've invited Shane and Amanda to dine with us tonight
Luke sighed "Again?"
"Luke Mark you are so greedy" The elevator opened and I walked in first
Luke held my shoulders "When it comes to you yes I am, I want you all to myself" The elevator closed with Luke kissing me when we got at the lobby we walked out of the elevator some workers were staring at us it had been a year since we've been dating but the stare just keep increasing by each passing day.
We went to the garage and walked to Luke's car he unlocked the car and opened the door for me his always been chivalrous cause his a gentleman
"Thank you" I whispered and sat in the car than fasten on my seatbelt
"You are welcome my baby" Luke replied and closed the door and he walked around to driver's side he handed my car keys to his diver "Mike you please come with Bianca's car"
"Yes Mr Mark"
"Thank you" he opened the door and sat inside than started the car and drove off.
"So baby what have you thought to prepare for tonight?"
I breathed out heavily "Hmm... I thought I should prepare a proper dinner since last time I made something light"
Luke quickly looked at me than back at the road "What do you mean the last time you should say last week"
'You are so greedy they are our friends, and now speaking of which if you behave yourself and smile to our guest" Luke made a serious face "I'll reward you later"
He looked at me and gave a goofy smile more of the childish one "What time?"
I laughed "You are such a pervert" we both laughed while Luke was driving as we got at Luke's house he opened the door for me
"Welcome home babe"
"Thank you I'm practically living here since you don't want me to go to my apartment"
"Yes cause I want you here 24/7 young lady"
"With this rate you'll get bored with me" As I'm about to walk away he pulled me back
He rapped his hands around my neck I looked up at him "Never that will never ever happen" he lifted me up and kissed me
I tried to pull away and get down but held me tightly "Let me go I have to prepare dinner"
He kissed me again walking towards the stairs to go to the bedroom "Never I want my reward in advance in order for me to be well behaved with a smiled of cause"
"Luke tell me the truth were you a pervert before this life?"
He laughed "Yes I was"
"I knew it" I yelled
***
In the evening as I finished the cooking I went to the dining room and prepped the table with table centrepieces (fresh flowers, steel & glass vase, candles, plants and wine glasses) as I was heading back to the kitchen I heard the door which Luke went and opened the door.
"Hey Luke"
"Good evening Amanda, Shane"
"Good evening Mark"
Luke sighed "Do you see my father around Shane?" Amanda and Shane walked inside and Luke closed the door
"You are my boss I have to show some respect right?" Shane whispered
"Really shell I show I'm the boss right now?" Shane quickly looked at Luke "Buddy why you getting serious all of the sudden" Amanda smiled looking at them
I placed the food on the table (Steak, green asparagus, couscous and red wine) the three of them went to the dining room and found everything ready and dinner served I lastly walked to the dining room holding a glass bowl of green salad.
"Hey guys" I whispered
Amanda turned around an looked at me "There you are I almost got caught between them again"
I looked at Luke "You promised"
He stared at me "What?" he made gesture with his hands "He started it and I finished it"
I set the bowl on the table "I don't care who started it or finished it can we eat today without you two creating a fuss"
"Thank you" Amanda didn't wait for Shane to pull the chair for her she just sat down being annoyed Luke on the other side pulled the chair for me
"Yes madam we heard you now can you take some rest you must be tired"
I smiled at him and walked around "Thank you" I sat down
"No need baby" Luke said and pulled the chair next to mine and sat down while Shane sat next Amanda we served ourselves and poured some wine we ate our dinner while chatting and laughing
"Wow Bianca this dinner was amazing thank you" Amanda whispered
I smiled "I'm glad you guys enjoyed it"
"Thank you" Shane said
Luke held my back "She's my baby after all"
I shook my head "That's so cheesy"
"But romantic unlike someone else sitting next me who hasn't complimented me the whole evening" Amanda whispered looking at Shane
Shane looked at Amanda "Babe you know I don't need to be cheesy to be romantic I'm the man of showing not telling" He held Amanda's hand and kissed it we all laughed
"Nice one" I whispered and we continued with our dinner
"So competitive" Luke said looking at Shane "Did you tell Amanda that we are going to LA tomorrow?" Shane's jaw dropped
"What?" Amanda stared at Shane
Shane looked at Amanda "Babe I was going to tell you"
"When you guys reach LA?"
"Of cause not"
Amanda stood up "Guys thank you for lovely dinner, goodnight" she then walked away taking her purse and phone from the table and headed to the door
"Amanda" I called out to her but she just walked away
"Dude really" Shane said and followed Amanda I just stared at Luke with eye side
He looked at me "What?"
I just pointed at him "Your arrogance and narcissism will be your down fall one day"
His jaw dropped to the table metaphorically speaking "Arrogance and narcissism me?'
"Yes add them on the list of your flaws" Luke just stared at me being shocked
As I stood up to clear the table I felt Luke's grip on my hand I looked at him with blink eye more of a dare
"Take them back" Luke whispered
I gazed down at him "Take what back?"
He slowly stood up "What you just said take it back"
I walked away from the table and folded my hands "And if I don't then what?"
He walked up at me "I'll make you say it the best way I know how"
I raised my eyebrow and looked up at him "Hell no"
He quickly picked me up "I was hoping you would say that" He started walking towards the stairs
"I have to clear the table" kicking my legs in the air
"I already informed Ms Grace to come early tomorrow now you are all mine Ms Blue" he walked to the bedroom.
Threw me on the bed "Aha" I looked up at him as he unbuttoned his shirt I laid back with my elbows staring at him he took his shirt off and crawled up on the bed coming at me as I was sliding at the back he got on top of me making me lay flat on the bed then we shared a passionate kiss.
