Seducing My Heartless Husband

For now, he’ll just keep calm and observe . He won’t rush into anything but he was will surely marry her.

He ought to keep her by his side.

Lucas was now in bed preparing to go to sleep. His heart felt sweet and calm and now he started getting sleepy.

With a content expression in his face, he drifted off to the world of dreams.

Marina finished reading through the file at hand, tidied her office desk and stood to leave the company. She was completely worn out.

The good thing is that tomorrow is on a Saturday and she didn’t have anything important to do.

She will sleep in to compensate the whole week’s exhaustion before preparing to go meet her friend Terry.

She boarded the car and soon reached the parking lot. Using her key, she unlocked the car, got inside and drove off.

She had had her dinner at the office so the only thing in mind now was to take a shower and slump to bed.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The following day, Marina was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

She grumbled and cursed the caller a hundred times. Just who had she offended to ruin her beautiful sleep?

Picking up the call, she said with a groggy voice.

” Hello?”

” Hello my sweetheart.” Terry replied sweetly but came to a realization immediately,

” Are you sleeping right now?” She asked puzzled, not wanting to believe that Marina, the Early bird was asleep at this time.

” It’s so early in the morning ofcourse am sleeping.” Marina replied with an annoyed sound.

If she wasn’t sleeping now, was she supposed to be dancing then or maybe milking cows?

” Early? You mean eleven in the morning is early?” Terry asked back.

” Eleven! Are you sure?” she sceptically asked.

Who knows, maybe that Terry was making fun of her or teasing her perhaps. She was capable of anything anyways.

” Don’t you have a walk clock in your room, check the time if you think am lying.” Terry’s serious voice came from her phone speakers.

Turning to look at the clock, she was dumbfounded. It was really eleven!

” I overslept. Maybe because I was tired and didn’t keep track of time.” Marina said unconcerned.

It was the weekend afterall and she had nothing to do so waking up at this time wasn’t wrong. She was just trying to re energize her worn out body, not like she abandoned her work to rest.

” I always remind you to take care of yourself and not overwork but you never listen.” Terry scolded her lightly.

She was concerned about her friend’s health.

” Now you are behaving like a mother hen. I can take care of myself and besides, I only extended my working Time by two hours.” Came Marina’s stubborn reply.

Terry was getting angry due to her carelessness.

Changing one’s pattern whether it was feeding, working or sleeping was at some times harmful to one’s health. She has been singing that song to her friend who doesn’t seem to listen.

” I know you can take care of yourself but can you be careful with your health. The body has no spare parts.” Terry reprimanded her softly.

” Okay I heard it already, I’ll take care of myself better from today onwards. I’ll eat on time, bath on time and sleep on time.” Marina replied.

” Don’t you think you forgot something?” Terry countered.

” I won’t overwork and will be clocking out in the right time.” Marina said helplessly.

” That’s more like it.”

Terry treated her well as a sister and she could feel the sweetness overflow her heart from receiving such care.

It made her feel like she had a real sister something she has always wished to have all her life.

” Why did you call?” Marina asked casually but Terry pretended to be offended by her question.

” Ain’t we friends? do I need a reason to call you? can’t I just call to check on you?” Terry fired the questions continuously without taking a break.

” Cut it out girl, you know I know you? Are you trying to guilt trap me to make your ridiculous requests, let me tell you, I am not going shopping with you today.” Marina replied. She knew that trick very well, it used to work on her before, but things are different now.

Fool me once, I accept but if you fool me for a second time, it’s called stupidity.

Hearing Marina’s comeback, Terry was tongue tied. She really was planning on making Marina feel guilty and to redeem herself she’ll ask her to accompany her shopping.

It seems her plan has been seen through.

She could only sigh and try persuading Marina to change her mind.

” Okay, you got me but can’t you accompany me for just today. I really can’t go alone and I promise not to take long.” Terry said pleadingly, but Marina was adamant on not giving in.

” You won’t take long? That statement is ironical coming from your mouth Terry.” Marina retorted.

She can still remember the torture she went through the last time Terry uttered those words. She had been dragged from one mall to the other.

It was simply a nightmare.

Since that day, she had sworn to never trust Terry with her not long phrase.

She can still feel the trauma she went through when she remembers that fateful day.

” Please honey, am begging you.” Terry continued with her plea, calling Marina sweet names but Marina was hellbent on not getting tempted.

After trying several times without success, Terry started threatening Marina now.

” If you don’t accompany me, I’ll stop being your friend. I will start avoiding you and hang out with Louisa.” Terry mumbled.

” Exactly Terry, how about you ask your new friend Louisa to accompany you. I remember you told me that she moved to the country. That was, you can take her to see around as you shop.” Marina gave her a beautiful suggestion.

Only then did realization hit Terry. ofcourse she could just ask Louisa to accompany her shopping.

” What a brilliant idea! Thanks alot honey. You are my savior. I love you, mwah!” She said happily, blowing kisses to Marina and hurriedly hung up.
