Hubby

Inside a private room in a high-end bar, two men were standing by a pool table. Both men were tall and had an aura of arrogance.

One of the men was wearing a black shirt that was folded to his elbows and trousers. His dark hair was neatly styled. The other man wore a white shirt with the first two buttons open. His hair was also styled and on his face were gold-rimmed glasses.

"Second brother, have you heard anything from Ava? I have not seen her since this week."The man wearing a black shirt, Damien, asked.

His second brother, Vincent, shook his head.

"You know, you should claim her before it is too late. Make everyone know that she is yours," Damien said. "And try to win her heart now that she's broken up with that trash."

Hearing his words, Vince chuckled. "Advice from the guy who has never liked a girl and cannot stand women."

Damien said. "I can stand women. it's just the others I've contacted, except Fourth sister and my mother, are disgusting. They make my skin crawl."

Vincent nodded. He, too, didn't like being close to women because he felt they had other intentions. Either his money or his body.

"Anyway, Calvin is returning next week. Inform Ava that we'll be having a get-together to welcome him," Damien said as he positioned the stick ready to shoot.

"Hubby you don't have to worry, I'm treating you today," Ava said as she held her husband's hand and walked around the amusement park. She had never been here before. Since her childhood, all she had done was study, train, study, train... there was no time for games. Even when she was kicked out of her family, she still had no time, till she met them...

"Ava, how can you eat this? It's too sweet," Enzo asked as he removed the piece of candy that Ava put in his mouth. He didn't like things that were too sweet.

"Oh, I have a sweet tooth," She said. It was one thing that her brothers complained about. Her intake of sugary snacks was much.

"Don't eat much because of your stomach," Enzo warned.

"Is my hubby worried about me?" Ava teased and laughed as he looked away in embarrassment.

"It's late, let's go home." He said.

"Wait here, I want to get something," Ava said. She had called her assistant earlier to buy her some simple clothes she could wear at home. She saw him and she was going to collect them.

Meanwhile, Enzo leaned against a pole while he waited. In front of him was a stand where they sold cheap jewelry and accessories. A hairclip caught his eyes. it has a simple design of a blue butterfly and he taught it would look good in Ava's hair. Also, it was going to be his first present to her, his wife.

"How much is this?" He asked the stand owner.

"That would be a dollar."

Enzo paid for it and put the hairclip in his shirt pocket.

"I'm back." Enzo turned around and he saw Ava, in her hand were two large bags.

"I brought my stuff," she said. Enzo took one of the bags from her. "Let's go home," He said.

The atmosphere in the room was awkward as they just realized that they may have to sleep together. Ava had no problem with that but she was worried about Enzo. She knew he wasn't ready for anything yet.

"I'll sleep on the floor," Enzo said. Ava could not accept it. The night was cold.

"I will," Ava said. it wasn't a big deal for her because she had worse conditions when she was at that place.

"No, I will. You're a lady."

"And you're my husband. I can't allow you to stay on the cold floor." Ava said with a dominating tone. Enzo found it surprising how a young woman could have such an aura.

"We'll sleep together," Ava suggested. "But we won't do anything," She said while looking at him. "Unless you want to," she teased and climbed into the bed.

Enzo stood there for a while before he joined her. Luckily it was able to fit two people. He removed his glasses and kept them on the table beside the bed.

They couldn't sleep as this was a new experience for them. "Hubby, are you awake?" Ava asked.

"Hmm." Enzo hummed in response.

"I can't sleep."

"Me too."

"Let's talk."

"About what?"

"Let's know more about each other."

"Okay."

"How old are you? I'm twenty-two."

"Twenty-five," Enzo answered. He was the same age as her brothers. "Have you ever been in a relationship?" Enzo asked. He didn't know why he asked that. He just wanted to know more about her.

Ava froze for a second before she answered. "Yes." She didn't want to talk about it because she recently broke up with him. "We were engaged. He cheated on me." and he wanted my money.' Ava could not tell him this because she wanted to tell him about her identity at the right time.

"Sorry."

"No need. He was scum anyway. You are better than him." Ava said and turned to face him. Enzo's face burned.

"So what was your major in the university?" Ava asked. She wanted to know if she could use her connections and find her husband a job.

"Web design and development," Enzo answered and sighed. He studied that for five years and graduated with honors yet he couldn't find a job.

"Have you tried Kybers, the company owned by the young Master of the McAdams family?" Ava asked. The company was owned by her first brother, Damien.

Enzo gasped. He hadn't even thought of that place. The people who worked there were geniuses among geniuses. They were the best of the best. He was afraid of being rejected if he applied there because he heard that their interview process was tough. "No."

"Try applying there. I'm sure you will be accepted." She had faith in her husband.

"I'll try." He sighed and turned around. "I'm sleepy. We'll continue this another time. Good night."

"Night hubby."

After a few sleepless hours, Ava gently got up from the bed and called someone.

"Hello, fourth sister, why are you calling me this late? Any problem?" the man over the phone asked.

"First brother, I need your help."

"If it's within my abilities," he said.

"I want to recommend a person for the web designer vacancy."

"Who is it? You know I don't accept trash right?"

"I know. Just test him. I told him to come for an interview tomorrow."

"It's a he? Who is it that caught your eye? I hope it's not one of those scums that want your money?"

"Damien, he's not. I just felt like helping him out. Lorenzo Hales. I didn't say you should let him in through the backdoor. Just, access his ability, please."

"Okay."

"Thanks a lot."

"Take care of yourself, Ava."

"I will. Bye." she hung up.
