The Returning Godfather

The hotness of the sunlight peeked in, through the window. Which is slightly opened. 

And a ray of sunlight fell on the milky skin of the woman, the hotness of the sun penetrated her skin, and she woke up. 

Kneading her eyes gently to get rid of the sleep, she took her phone from the table.

Glaring at the time, she was startled. Her gaze quickly darted to the curtains, peeking through them, she could see how bright the outside world is. 

It's already 10: am in the morning, it's a good thing, it's the weekend otherwise she would have been late.

Stroking the other side of the bed which is still warm and fuzzy, the memories of the activities of the night before came crashing on her.

A warm smile appeared on her face when the image of the passion flashed across her mind. 

This might not be her first night but this is special to her, hence the smile.

 She stood up from the bed, looking around for her sleeping robes, she found them lying on the ground beside the bed.

She bent over and picked them up, then slides them through her head and left the room, dragging her groggy body along. 

Descending the stair with her hands on the railing, they are dark circles on her face, but she still looks pretty with them.

 When the maid, who was sweeping the floor with the vacuum, Ms. Sue, saw her approaching, she dropped the stick vacuum and rushed over to meet up with her.

 “Good morning, ma'am Giselle, sir has left for work and he asked that you should prepare some food for the evening! 

She conveyed, wiping her hands on her clothes.

 After listening to her message, Giselle nodded her head in affirmation.

 “Ma'am, you can go freshen up while I prepare the table for breakfast so long! ” 

 Giselle flashed a smile at her when she heard her suggestion, then she swerves around to leave for her room. 

Just then Ms. Sue called her attention back again. 

“Happy third anniversary to you and sir ” 

She greeted, then she walked away leaving Giselle to gaze after her.

Yeah, it's her third marriage anniversary today but she still feels like a stranger in Zayn's life.

Despite being married for so long, he has never treated her as his wife.

She was more like a stranger living under the same roof with him, she has done everything to make this relationship between the two work but, he kept distancing himself from her.

Although their relationship is a result of a compromise, she has always been in love with him, but he on the other hand loves her cousin Danica Medina instead of her. 

 On this day, three years ago, her grandparents and grandpa Meyer had initiated the marriage between them.

The family has been friends for a very long time, even before the two were born, during that time grandpa Medina, had done a favor on grandpa Meyer, and when grandpa Medina wanted to find a suitable match for his orphaned granddaughter Giselle, grandpa Meyer had come with the solution of getting Giselle and Zayn married to each other.

Grandpa Medina had always wanted to leave half of his inheritance to Giselle since she is the ablest and hard-working among them.

He knew that leaving the family wealth in her care would be a great choice, but she won't be able to manage everything on her own, therefore the need to get her married, to provide support for her when he is no longer here to help.

Then Grandpa Meyer forced Zayn to get married to Giselle at that time, Zayn was very much against getting married to Giselle since he was in love with another woman. 

Also, he always says that Giselle was not his type, she was too plain and ugly to be called his wife.

He wanted to get married to Danica Medina, who is his ideal woman, and the one whom he believed he had always loved all his life. 

Danica Medina is the city's top beauty, she has the body of a goddess and the face of the world. Her beauty is one of her many prowess.

Unfortunately, she couldn't make it to the list of an ideal granddaughter of the Medinas nor an ideal woman worthy of being in the league of the Meyers.

Grandpa Meyer detest the relationship between Zayn and Danica, he always wanted Giselle to be his daughter in law and that is why he came up with the idea of forcing Zayn to marry her, otherwise, he would face his life being turned upside down when grandpa finishes with his punishment for the humiliation caused.

 With a grievous heart, Zayn and Giselle got married, and now it's been three years of the time.

It's been three years of spending the night all alone.

Three years of eating breakfast and dinner alone.

Three years of being accompanied by the maids.

The past three years have been so hard on her, she thought she had finally been reunited with her love when the marriage proposal came for her but unfortunately, she ended up making livestock out of herself.

She is more of a home appliance since they are all she's got to spend the time with when ms sue is out of town.

 The man rarely came home to her, and whenever he does, he spends the entire night ravishing her body and leaves before the morning, not without a stern warning to take care of her body to avoid pregnancy.

In the last three years, he had warned her severally about getting pregnant with his child, he doesn't want to have a child with a woman like her. 

She has always done everything to please the man and now, she is getting tired of everything.

Never she has thought that the man, she spent her entire childhood dreaming about could one day shatter her dreams and fantasy.

The love she has for him began years before he came to know Danica, maybe he forgot that she was the one, he wanted to love.

 Looking back now, she wished she had refused her grandfather's orders to get married to this heartless man, who had treated her nothing less than a piece of trash. 

All that doesn't matter anymore, since she has decided to end everything and go away from their lives.

 Giselle jerked back to reality when she hit her head against the wall while walking back to her room.

 “What am I even doing? 

She asked kneading the affected area to ease the pain, then she walked into her room.

When she was about to leave for the bathroom, her phone vibrated.

 “Hello, aunt! 

“Grandpa wants you to come back to the house for lunch!” 

The voice said and immediately the call got disconnected.

 “Strange!! 

 “Why would aunt give me such an attitude? Have I done something wrong?  

Giselle asked staring at the walls.

Strange things seem to be happening to her today,

Firstly, Zayn asked her to prepare food for him, which is so impossible

And now, her aunt gave her a nonchalant attitude, which is something she never thought would happen.

Aunt Samantha has always been her backbone, she has been taking care of her since her parents passed away in a car accident, she raised her with the help of granny Medina and now?

What is wrong with her? 

 Samantha might be the birth mother of Danica but she has been more of a mother to Giselle, but then again! 

There seems to be more than what meets the eyes.

 After giving it quite a thought, Giselle rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower.
