Bryson hadn't thought about that for a while. A few months ago, Ainslie had talked to him about getting a loan to have a befitting wedding. He didn't want that but she got the loan documents ready and convinced him to take the loan while she stands as his guarantor. On her quest, he had applied and gotten a loan of fifty thousand dollars. He recalled why she wanted their wedding to be a lavish one and a look of disappointment and devastation appeared in his eyes which he tried to hide. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about the loan, you prick," she cursed him with a thundering tone. Bryson didn't want to but he felt it would be best if he reminded her of her reasons for pushing him to take a loan for their wedding. "My love, it's not my fault, you know," he defended himself but that was a wrong Idea of his. He later regretted spilling that. Ainslie stared at him for a while in astonishment and chuckled. "Oh my dear husband, it really isn't your fault right? It's my fault. Right? O
As his mother-in-law stared at her, Bryson swallowed a lump, his Adam's apple moving up and down uncontrollably. He couldn't meet up to her gaze as she stared at him with a sign of disgust. "G.. Good morning, m..mo…mother-in-law," he stammered and her brows knitted more to a frown."Don't you ever address me like we've got a connection. I really don't see you as anyone I know. I can't believe I'm here in such a neighborhood like this one.""Um, sorry, ma'am. Please come in," Bryson said, trying not to stutter again. He made way for her and ogled at him in a dismissive way. "It's quite cold out here so please, kindly come inside the house and take warmth.""I should step into this cabin you call a house?" She asked him. He couldn't say a word and she exhaled and looked above her shoulder at a woman standing opposite the house. She was their neighbor and Bryson could tell just by a glance that she was wondering how such a woman like Ainslie's mother would be here to see me. "It seems t
Bryson was awestruck by his mother-in-law's action. He had never received a slap from her before. But looking at the woman's eyes, he didn't need a sorcerer to tell him that she really despised him from the bottom of her heart."How dare a lowlife like you refuse to do what I say? Are you mad?!" She barked at him. "You are a piece of worthless trash and you dare to refuse my request? You have dared to defile my order, you'll face the outcome of it sooner or later, mark my words, Bryson!"Bryson felt embarrassed by his mother-in-law's action. It was a big disgrace she gave to him by slapping him in his own house and under his roof but he took no offense. Staring at his wife who was both shocked by her mother's action and also angry with him, he felt like he deserved the slap he got from his mother-in-law."I thought you would at least be reasonable for a bit, Bryson. You know I am disgusted by you so much that words can't simply explain how I feel about you. You know, I now think it wa
Bryson shut his eyes as his wife angrily banged the door of the room close. He couldn't believe all that had just happened. He turned to go and talk to her but knew she wouldn't hear him out. He took out the money he had left in his pocket and dropped it on the table. He wrote a note and placed it next to the money and left the house for work.As he was on the public bus, holding onto a straphanger and clutching a pole, he recalled the hurtful words of his wife. The questions she asked of how he was going to pay the loan he had taken for their wedding and see to it that she lives a good life. He pondered on everything her mother had said and what his wife had said too. Before he got to his destination, he decided to speak to the factory manager.When he arrived at work, he was almost five minutes late and he received a few rebuking words which was okay.While he was waiting for the delivery truck to be filled so he could go do his first delivery to a newly opened company, Bryson dec
"Its decided then. I will find a good outfit now. To heck with that useless husband of mine, Bryson. He hasn't even both any clothes for me recently. Just professing his god-damned love for me. Scree him," Ainslie grumbled as she tied up her hair and walked back to the closet. She ran her eyes through every clothe hung inside and kept sighing. She ransacked the closet and turned it upside down before she could find a suitable outfit.She changed into the dress and properly tied her hair because she couldn't curly them look lush because she had no hand dryer or the tools to use and dress up gee hair. She took a while to get dressed and finally left the house, putting on a summer outfit and a sunhat with a pair of sunglasses. She knew she looked a bit weird but she decided to go looking that way because she didn't want her friends to notice the wrinkles she has been having and her pale looking skin for she hadn't gone to the spa the last few weeks to get her skin rejuvenated.When she a
Ainslie was really shocked to know that Dora's boyfriend had rented the restaurant for six hours. Just in a span of twenty seconds, she stared at Dora and imagined herself to be greatly surprised by Bryson in a special way. She knew there was no hope of him even bringing her to such a restaurant to eat and she dreaded that.When Julie shook her a little, she came out from her thoughts and smiled."Forget about Bryson. Let's talk about you since it's your special day, Dora.""Excuse me? Special day? Gosh, everyday is special to me though I'll admit today is a little bit more special than other days because of my darling, Kyle. He rented the restaurant and got that chef to make a nice lunch for us. I hope you can enjoy this day and dream of someday getting to have another meal here, maybe with Bryson, right, Ainslie?""I told you before. I eat here sometimes. Anyway, I'm happy for you.""I can see how happy you are for me and I can also tell that you're probably feeling jealous, but it'
It seemed to Dora like Ainslie was zoned out so she tapped the table and said:"You've got nothing to think about, honey. Your husband is worthless. You'll die in poverty being with him. Should I be honest? I don't even think he got a job as a manager of a company like you said."Ainslie shifted her gaze to Julie, thinking she must have blurted out what Bryson's actual job is to Dora before she arrived.Seeing her stare at her, Julie sighed and got to know what Ainslie was thinking about some seconds later, she then decided to clear the misconception Ainslie was conceiving in silence."Ainslie." Julie leaned to her and whispered. "Listen, I know what you are thinking about. Trust me, I didn't tell Dora anything and I'm sure she has not gotten to know about your husband's job. She's just trying to squeeze the truth from you, believe me."Ainslie nodded and returned her gaze to Dora. "I am right, Ainslie? Be honest with your friend.""Look, I don't know what you are talking about. I'm
Ainslie paid the taxi that dropped her at home after she stepped out of the taxi. She walked to the door and realized that Bryson wasn't yet home when she tried to open the door. She took out her spare key and opened the door. "Ainslie, love." She furrowed her brows, she was about to push open the door when she heard Bryson called out to her.She spun to see him on the lawn, holding something behind him.He walked up to her, grinning and she looked around to see if any of their neighbors heard him calling out to gee live a barbarian."Why the hell did you call me like that?" She was upset. He took no offense and quickly showed her the flowers he had got her. Her eyes widened in shock and it was a silly mistake of Bryson to have thought that she was surprised by his gift. The truth was that she was annoyed."Baby, I had taken 20 percentage of my salary to get you these flowers." He thought his words would impress her but he was wrong about that again. "Isn't my boss good? It's barely
