Frank's POV
.
I woke up quite early the next day with my beautiful wife sleeping beside me and I smiled to myself.
I'm just so happy that I was able to pull that off though I didn't expect things to go that way.
I turned to her and watched her sleep peacefully then I pick my phone and took some pictures of her.
' woww, so adorable...i promise to do everything to make you happy'
I thought of any romantic things to do before she woke up then a thought came to me.
I got off the bed carefully making sure she didn't notice and went out of the room.
I went to the kitchen and prepare a cup of tea with milk and pick some bread as well then put them on a tray and take it back to the room.
I entered carefully then drop the tray on a table and went back to bed beside her and watch her sleep.
Just about a minute later she opened her eyes and saw me staring at her and she quickly adjusted herself.
" Good morning " I said smiling.
" what are you trying to do?, are you trying to take advantage of me?" she said.
" oh please, if I wanted any of that it won't be that hard but I decided to take things easy and slow"
" I want you to be ready, I want us to work things out between us" I said.
" yeah, good luck with that " she said sarcastically and made to get off the bed.
" wait, i made you something" I said then went to the table and brought the tea to her.
" what's this?" she asked.
" Tea....and bread" I said.
" yeah I see it I'm not blind, I mean what's the meaning of this? " she asked.
" well I thought since it's the first time of us sleeping together I thought I should make something romantic about it" I said.
" point of correction we didn't sleep together we slept on the same bed" she said.
" well it's the same to me" I said.
" look here Frank, I don't know where you get the idea of doing this but I'm not falling for any of these" she said standing to her feet.
" c'mon Bella, can't you see I'm trying here, I'm doing this because I love you...can't you see? " I said.
" I need to take my bath" she said turning to the bathroom.
" c'mon just have the tea even if it's just a sip" I said trying to make her agree.
" What are you doing? Stop it doesn't suit you...you're just embarrassing yourself" she said.
" embarrassing myself?, It's just you and I in the bedroom so I'd rather be a fool only around you"
" you're crazy "
" just drink the tea...please" I said then she move closer and took the teacup from me and was about to drink.
" wait...wait, why are you insisting that I must drink the tea. Did you put a love portion or anything?" she said and I smiled.
" well I don't think there's anything wrong about that " I said grinning.
" what!"
" calm down, I'm just kidding. i don't need a love portion to make you fall for me. so rest your mind there's nothing in there except sugar and milk" I said and she took a sip.
I tried to read he'd countenance but she's not giving any.
" so how is it? " I asked.
" it's sugary" she said and I smiled as she went straight to the bathroom.
{Some Minutes Later}

We both got dressed and ready for the company as grabbed our things.
" Bella" I called as she was about to enter her car and she stopped then turned.
" I meant all I said in the bedroom this morning, I'll never do anything to hurt you. i want you to know that" I said to her but she didn't say anything.
" I love you Bella, have a nice day at work" I said then we both entered our car and drove out.

Bella got to the office and told Stella to meet her in her office which she did immediately.
" ma'am " she said as she entered.
" I need someone who can be my eyes and ears in Nelson group of companies" Bella said.
" you mean a spy?" Stella asked.
" I never say a spy, more like a liaison officer between the two companies" Bella said.
" okay ma'am " Stella said.
" I want a lady and make sure she's qualified for the job " Bella said.
" actually ma'am, I have a sister and she's fit for the job" Stella said.
" oh your sister?" Bella said.
" yes ma'am " she replied.
" okay good, bring her to me tomorrow and I'll explain some things to her " Bella said.
" okay ma'am " she replied then made to leave then she stopped.
" Ma'am permission to speak" Stella asked.
" Yeah. go on" Bella replied.
" Uhm, it's about the divorce papers, is everything okay with you and your husband?" She asked.
" Let's just say my plans failed and there's nothing I can do now but to accept my faith" Bella said.
" Okay. I'll leave now" she said then left.
' Oh God, I can't believe I'm actually doing this...so does this mean Frank and I are married forever?'.
Just then her phone started ringing, she checked the caller and realized it's Frank and she decided not to pick.
The call three more time then she decided to pick to hear what he has to say.
" Frank what is it?" She said.
" Can't I call my beloved wife again?" He said.
" What do you want Frank?" She said.
" I just call to hear your lovely voice" he said.
" If you don't seems to have anything to do well I do and I have to get back to work instead of you disturbing me with your call" she said.
" Can't you see I'm trying for us to work, that's a sign that I do love you. what do I need to do for you to believe me?" He said.
" I need to go Frank...we will see at home" she said.
" Alright take care, and I love you, never forget that" he said then ended the call.
' what a crazy guy'

Gary arrived at Nelson and Richmond Limited in the state and he parked his car at the garage.
He entered the company and was surprised so see the company still blooming in riches which is far from what he expected.
He looked at the wall and realised the name of the company has changed as well then he decided to meet with Bella.
" Good morning, welcome to Nelson and Richmond Limited. how may we be of service?" The receptionist said.
" I need to meet with your boss" Gary said.
" Okay. do you have an appointment with her?" She asked.
" Not exactly but I really do need to see her" Gary said.
" I'm sorry you can't unless you have an appointment with her" she said.
" My name Gary Willis a businessman and your boss's fiance, so I think that should give me a pass" Gary said.
" Oh I'm sorry, I have no idea...please go ahead" she said.
" Good" Gary said then he went towards her office.
He got to her office and saw someone at the secretary seat which is not Stella and he wondered what happened.
" Good day" the lady said.
" Yeah, how you doing?" He asked.
" Fine"
" Where's Stella?" He asked.
" Who's Stella?" She asked back.
" Oh I guess you didn't know her" Gary said then went into the office.
When he entered he saw a figure on the seat which is different from Bella's and he looked around wondering if he's in the right place.
" Hello, who are you?" The lady asked.
" I'm Gary and you're not Bella" Gary said wondering what's actually happening.
" Obviously I'm not" she said.
" I'm sorry, what's going on here?" Gary asked.
" I don't think I understand what you meant" She said.
" Where's Bella?, she's the one I'm expecting" Gary said.
" Oh now I understand" the lady said then smiled.
" Mrs Nelson isn't here anymore so I'm the one in charge and sh..."
" Wait, wait, what do you mean Mrs Nelson?" Gary asked.
" Oh, she got married few weeks ago" she said
" What!"
" What do you mean Married?. she and I had a little misunderstanding a month ago and now you're telling me she's married" Gary said unbelievably.
" I'm sorry about that but that's the truth she's married" she said.
" Where is she now?" Gary asked.
" She's running the Richmond headquarters in Nigeria" she said.
" Thanks" Gary replied then storm out of the office.
