Chapter 108

Ammy stirred from her sleep but her eyes remained shut. The light that was flooding from the sun through the window and all the way to her face was just great bother to her.

The sun was already scorching and it was so uncomfortable for her as it hit hard her soft skin.

She simply guessed that it was Rose who opened the curtains.

Without opening her eyes,she called to her.

"Rose,close the curtains already. The sun is too hot,"she complained,her voice abit hoarse.Nobody answered but she heard light footsteps approach the bed then stopped when they reached where she was sleeping.

"Wakie Wakie sleeping beauty!"a deep sweet and beautiful voice called to her. The voice was accompanied with a soft touch on her cheek,more of a caress and a deep and sweet smell of Lavender and honey.

The voice ,the smell and the touch said it all.

It was Max.

'Such a funny scent for a man!'she teased in her mind.

"Wifey,wake up it almost noon time...your body will ache from sleeping for soo long"Max spoke again.

Ammy would have loved it if it was any other day but after the previous nights' scandle',the voice stirred up the anger that was the previous night.

'Why do you care?...leave me alone!'she yelled at him in her mind.

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

He was soo beautiful.

She looked away before his beauty could bewitch her to forgive him without a sorry.

Ammy sat up on the bed.Her eyes travelled to the wall clock.

Fifteen minutes past twelve noon.

It was very late but Max had not gone to work.She badly wanted to ask him why he was still at home but she didn't bother.

"How did I sleep to this time?"she asked herself while massaging her temples.

"You slept very late yesterday and maybe the crying made you sleep some more...anyways,I prepared for you breakfast,"Max responded.

'Did I ask that aloud?'she wondered when he answered her.

She looked at the tray of food where the beautiful aroma of breakfast tacos erupted from.A glass of passion juice accompanied the tacos.

She would have proudly eaten that if it was any other day but that morning....it was a no go zone for her.

"I would have loved it more if it were lunch,"she responded then pulled away the blanket.

She got off the bed and started walking towards the bathroom.Max stood and held her hand making her stop mid-step.

"I will prepare for you lunch as well but first,have something,"Max insisted.

"No thanks...am fine and I don't eat food prepared by my boss,"she responded sharply,her eyes glazing anger.

Max knew where all that was coming from. She was still angry with him.

Ggrrrh! Ggrrrh!

Ammy's tummy grumbled angrily. It seems it was determined to prove her wrong.

"You should stop being stubborn for once. The poor fellow must be starving,"Max spoke with a small smile when her tummy grumbled.

Ammy sighed in annoyance. Both her tummy and her husband were just too annoying.

Without saying anything else, she went to the bathroom and cleaned up. She walked back into the room and went to the dressing room. She did her skin care, dressed up and arranged her hair.

She walked back to the bedroom.

Max was nowhere to be seen but there was a note left on the food tray.

PLEASE EAT ME!!

A crying face.

Ammy smiled to herself. She didn't know if he was trying to make up for his behavior the previous night,but that was just too sweet of him.

She atleast could just eat the food and wait for the apology later on.

She sat on the box shaped glass stool and dug in to the food.

"Hhhm! So yummy,"she exclaimed with her eyes closed.

A handsome husband and a great cook as well,she was lucky indeed.

She was still into her food when her phone vibrated on the bedside stand.

It was her pretty young sister.

"Hey Andy..."she started when she received the call, trying to make her voice sound as jovial as she could.

Too bad her sister noted that.

"Hey Ammy... what's wrong with your voice?...have you been crying or something?"she asked directly on the point.

"No,no!..I haven't been crying and why should I even cry?"she asked.

Andy knew something was definitely wrong with her sister but she didn't want to push further.

"It's alright...I finished my last exam today.Am more than happy. You know that I have been waiting for the day I would finish my school so this calls for a celebration.... Oliver's Best Restaurant at 2 pm,my treat,"she spoke the hanged up the phone without waiting for her response.

Ammy stared at the screen of her phone and smiled.

"Finish school?...college is waiting,"she spoke then kept the phone on the stand.

She took the fork but before she could eat,the phone rang again.

Unknown number.

She placed the fork back on the plate and received it.

"Hey..."the caller started as soon as she received it.

"Hey...who am I talking to?"Ammy asked.

"Rayan Evans...I really need to talk to you about something important..."he continued.

"Yes,go ahead..."Ammy responded calmly.

"Not over the phone please. Can you make to come to Castle Hill Restaurant at 2 pm?"he asked.

"I have a date with my sister at that same time,"Ammy informed.

"Tell me the name of the hotel and I will join you...I promise not to take much of your time,"he spoke.

Ammy gave it a small thought.It wouldn't hurt to listen to what he had to say and maybe he wasn't even involved in his sister's scandal.

"Alright... Oliver's Best Restaurant,"Ammy finally gave in.

"Alright,thank you so much. See you then,"he spoke before ending the call.

Ammy continued with her meal.She was glad that she wouldn't have to be in the same house with Max for the rest of the day.She remembered that Maya and Milady had visited her the other night.She dropped the fork,gulped down half of the juice and went out of her room.She went to Milady's room but it was empty and so was Maya's room.

"Did that fool chase them out?...they wouldn't leave without telling me!"she spoke to herself as she went downstairs.

She came across,Max,Miguel and Vivan,sitted at the longue.

"Good morning!"she greeted them with a warm smile.

Miguel frowned at her.

"Good afternoon too,"Vivan responded with a grin.

"Oh,it's afternoon!...That's great actually,it's just that I woke up not too long,"Ammy responded with a small laughter.

"Seems like Max here gave you the best night and sent you to cloud number 7,"Miguel teased .

"Yeah...a night among nights and cloud number 10 I guess...just the climax,"she joked too and they all laughed except Max who knew what she was talking about.

"So when did you two arrive?"she asked.

"Since morning. We had a business meeting then he left to prepare breakfast,to my surprise but now it's just a friendly forum,"Vivan responded.

"Oh,what a sweet husband I have!...can I steal him from you just for a moment?"she continued with a sweet smile

Max watched the whole chit chat between the three silently. What amused him is how Ammy pretended like nothing happened at all. She was now all smiles and he loved that.

"Why not?"they both replied in unison.

Max stood and walked out of the lounge after Ammy.

"I haven't seen Maya and Milady..."she began.

"Yeah...they left.I told them you were having a headache so they didn't want to disturb you,"he answered proudly.

Ammy sighed again.This man was just too impossible!

"Great lie that was.I guess you deserve a gold medal for that.Am leaving..."she finally spoke.

At the word, Leaving,Max felt like his body was growing numb and cold.

"L- leaving?!"he asked silently trying to keep composed.

"Yeah...I have a date with Andy at 2pm. She finished her exam and she wants to celebrate that with me..."she answered and Max's nerves calmed down.

"Where?.."he asked again.

Ammy saw no reason to tell him that. What if he decided to follow her.His face would just ruin her mood at the moment.

"I don't think you should know that,"she responded curtly.

"Why is that?"he asked with a deep frown.

"Because I don't think you should...am off,"she answered and walked away.

"See you guys,"she shouted at Miguel and Vivan.

"Alright...see you,"they answered.

Max looked at her as she walked away and when she started her car he took his phone,dialed a number and called.

"Sham... follow your madam!"he ordered.
