'You got me worried' Jackson repeated. I'm so exhausted! she said. Jackson brought a cup of very warm tea and gave it to Arryah. 'Here, just the way you like it'. He smiled. she took the cup, looked into it and sipped some tea. Thanks she said.

Jackson helped her to remove the jacket and took it to the laundry. Arryah poured out the remaining tea into the washing sink. She doesn't like tea at all. She only prefers lemon green tea which Jackson doesn't know but only assumed she likes sugar tea. They are getting to know each other, they had barely met six months ago and had only gotten married yesterday.

She stood there shivering but was too timid to undress in the presence of a man. She had never undressed in the presence of a man and no man had seen or share her nakedness unknown to Jackson. She was a young girl who was naive, vulnerable and didn't even know how to navigate through her ordeals. She looked into the mirror and saw a reflection of a young girl who had grown into an adult and had been built by the hard times of life and though moments too.

Jackson came back and was surprised she's still dressed. You need to warm up by taking a warm shower, I'll be in the bedroom. He said as he walked away. He smiled like a conqueror who had just won a big battle. 'It will be a great night tonight'. He whispered to himself and smiled again.

Aryyah stepped into the shower after she had undressed. Her body slippery due to the rain, she applied some shampoo on her hair and washed it out as the water runs over her neck and shoulder. She also applied some bathing gel on her body.

Her mind quickly flashed back to the past where she would go for a whole day or two without a shower simply because there was no home or even a house to keep her head for the night and no place to call her own. She would roam around street corners just to find a place to lay her head each night while the struggle continues the following day.

She smiled happily and she thought in her heart 'there is nothing as good as a good life and a fulfilled destiny. She is about to experience that good life now. Jackson laid down on the royal bed which was dreesed in purple and gold with white sheets spread over him. He wore a pair of white boxers only with a bare chest.

He has a well constructed straight face, fine beards with neat moustache, a straight nose and natural pink lips. His black hair lies on his fair skin that made him shine like a star with a golden chain round his neck and a customized pendant with J.P inscribed on it.

His masculine shoulders and hairy chest seem so attractive and really seductive. He is indeed a very handsome young man with a fulfilled career.

He waited patiently for his beloved wife to join him in bed, 'I can't wait to make love to my darling'. This very thought made his heart to skip. His emotion began to betray him as he longed to have her in his warm arms immediately.

Arryah came in wearing a short revealing night gown with her hair all over her shoulders. She sat by the mirror and took a pin to bond the hair into a pony tail. Her face reveals a natural beauty that could make a man do anything.

Arryah never thought she would one day sleep on a bed as royal as this not to mention being called a billionaire. 'This is an unimaginable dream come true. Truly, patience is a virtue and there is dignity in labour. There is a time for everything and a chance for everyone' she soliloquizes. She smiled shyly and joined Jackson in bed.

He immediately wrapped his arms around her and kissed her fore head and then her cheeks. Arryah's heart skipped a bit. She knew what was going to happen tonight even though she's wasn't prepared now. She had imagined and waited for a night like this but she never knew it would come so quickly.

Jackson reached for her neck, he kissed her neck which sent a chill down her spine. She looked at him with hungry sexy eyes, her body is about to betray her right now. She shifted a little, Jackson drew closer, he wrapped his strong hairy legs around her and he looked into her eyes with a stare that says 'you are mine'. 'I want to devour you right away, I'm going to take you to the clouds'.

He kissed her on the cheeks and was about to kiss her sexy pink thin lips. They were both startled as Aryyah's phone beeped. Mom's calling, she took the phone to pick the call. Jackson collected the phone and kept it by the bed side, Aryyah took the phone again while Jackson took it back. He tried to kiss her again as he reached to smooch her breasts, Arryah took the phone and finally picked the call.

Mom? I'm so sorry I had a very hectic day. What's up with you? Nothing serious? Oh thanks for checking up on me, I need to sleep right now, I'll talk to you tomorrow. She thought about her mother who had abandoned her years ago and is now calling her every moment. Her mother had abandoned her for greener pastures and a more favourable career which made Aryyah to suffer and experience really hard times.

Her mother later met a man who she thought would stand by her during some dark moments but no, he left her with no trace after he had siphoned the little wealth she had tried to build and made her go back to square one. She really tried to climb up the ladder of success in life but the hard circumstances of life didn't permit her to.

Aryyah shook her head, breathed out deeply and turned around but couldn't find Jackson.

Jackson? She called, she stood up to look for him but found him in the twin room, the next room which is her own bedroom. He stood facing the window and peeped into the dark lonely night.

Jackson? She called again, he answered without looking back 'this marriage means nothing to you, please, leave. I wish to be alone now'.

Aryyah could sense he was angry, she let him be and went back into his room. She had a hectic day and deserves a pleasant night, sleep filled her eyes and made her eye lid heavy. She laid on the bed quietly, cold and lonely. Jackson in her room laid on the bed cold, angry, sad and lonely too.

Why would a woman that I love do this to me after waiting for so long? He had had a few women in his life but none is compatible with his kind of personality. He couldn't get what he needed in a woman and none ticked his desired boxes. All they ever wanted was his money.

One of them even tried to trap him with sex and tied a pregnancy on him when he had not had sex with her, he only slept in the same room with her just once.

He presented the CCTV recording as evidence, yet the court were on her side and she even refused to negotiate with Jackson's lawyer. He had waited patiently for the baby to be born so he could conduct DNA test because he was very sure the baby is not his but the results came back positive. He refused to be vindicated by the court and so he swore never to allow any other woman in his life again.

The first time he set his eyes on Aryyah, he knew she would become his wife even though she never saw it coming. That was the last thing she could ever dream of! But now, he was beginning to think;

What kind of a heartless, irresistible woman is this Arryah?

No woman ever set me on fire like this and leaves me burning this way! I'm on fire, oh gosh. He hugs her pillows and stroked his erected manhood gently and kept burning with emotion.
