Seducing My Heartless Husband

Martina’s mom was pleasantly surprised by the room. It was up to her taste and liking. She wondered if her daughter had given specific instructions for it to be designed this Way.

She marvelled at the beauty and coziness of the room. Without saying a word, she moved and engulfed her daughter into a tight hug.

Her daughter has always been looking after her . She felt lucky that even though life denied her Love, she was gifted with such a thoughtful and caring daughter.

” Thanks for the surprise dear.” She said, her voice clouded with emotions of gratefulness and happiness.

She couldn’t control the tears that were threatening to fall and she let them flow. She was crying yes, but this were tears of joy. Her daughter has been considerate of her. It made her feel like the roles have been reversed and now she was the daughter and Martina was the mother.

” Anything for my sweet and loving mother. Now, let’s wipe this tears. It’s a joyous day, don’t allow tears to ruin it.” Martina said gently wiping her mom’s tears with her handkerchief.

” They are tears of joy my daughter. You have done so much for me, I feel like am burdening you too much.” Her mother said trying to control the tears from falling.

” What are you saying mother? You have never been a burden to me, if anything, I have been the burden you have been bearing for the last two decades. You have taken care of me and Loved me unconditionally. I have never felt the absence of a father in my life because you were both my father and mother. Now that am all grown up, it’s my duty to repay your kindness.”Martina replied.

She didn’t appreciate it when her mother thought the worst about herself.

She, Martina, was a living testimony of a mother’s sacrifice and love for her children.

Her mother used to take up to two jobs a day inorder to raise money to support her and pay her school fees.

She would come home tired but still pretend not to be and prepare meals for her.

She had overworked herself to ensure that her daughter had everything . So how could she think that she was becoming a burden to her, her own daughter?

Martina had vowed in heart that she will never allow her mother to work, it doesn’t matter if she had to get a house help. That she was going to do just go free her mother from any chores. Her mother ought to rest now and be pampered by her. It was her duty as a filial daughter to take care of her mom.

After settling down, Martina prepared a feast to celebrate their new life and beginnings. They were starting their life afresh here in country B. The family was also expected to enlarge with the addition of Marina.

She hoped that her mother would leave the past behind and start afresh. She wondered whether with her father’s status being single after the death of his wife, were they going to rekindle their love and get together when they finally see each other.

With that thought in mind, she drifted off to slumber.

This past week had been a busy week for Marina. She was working in two companies at the same time. She would go to her law firm in the morning go handle the complex lawsuits and then spend the rest of the day at the Santos company. She was familiarizing herself with the matters of the company. She had never paid any attention to the company in the past 25 years so she was using this time, to study and understand it well.

If she was going to have to take over, then she needed to be conversant with everything concerning the company from the ongoing projects, prospective projects, the financial situation of the company and so forth.

Terry had been bugging her to meet up and she knew why. That gossip lover must be interested to know the story about Lucas and her.

It was through Terry’s phone the two had made the agreement to go together to the Santos family with Lucas pretending to be her boyfriend.

It’s not like she didn’t want to let her into the story, she was just too busy to spare time for gossip.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

To avoid Terry from jamming her phone’s signal, Marina had agreed that they will be meeting on Saturday evening.

According to Terry’s wild nature, she knew that she’ll be dragged to a club that day. It wasn’t a bad idea because even she felt like loosening up abit when the weekend comes.

She will go and dance away the week’s exhaustion.

She also needed to consult Terry whether her decision to Marry Lucas was a good One. Honestly, she had already made up her mind, she just wanted to hear a second person’s opinion about the matter.

She was busy going through some files of the company when her phone indicated an incoming call. Looking at it , it was a new number so she decided to ignore it. She was very tired now and wanted to finish reading through the file she was currently holding before calling it a day.

Her concentration was interrupted when the phone rang for a second time, she was planning to ignore it but thought maybe it was something important so the persistence.

Reluctantly she received the call.

” Hello, how may I help you?” She asked, her voice neutral. She wasn’t sure if it was a work related call or a personal call.

” Is that how a lady greets her future husband.” A deep, husky masculine voice sounded from the other end of the call.

Marina didn’t need anyone to tell her who that voice belonged to.

” Lucas.” She said plainly.

” Yes?” He replied almost immediately.

” why are you calling at this hour?” Marina asked. She wondered what could have prompted that ice King to call her now.
