************************************

Damilola's POV
My entire day wasn't occupied at all. Daniel had left hours ago to who knows where.
It was almost dinner time and he was no where to be found.
Then suddenly, the main door opened; speak of the devil and here he comes.

Earlier on, the cook had told me that he needed to go and see his mother in the village. He had just asked for a week break but I told him that he should take a month instead; starting from today. He didn't want to at first but I insisted he did. I even gave him money for his transport home and he left this evening but had made dinner earlier on. It was just me and Daniel for a whole one month; interesting.

As Daniel entered, I greeted him; "Welcome". He gave me one kind of eye and shrugged then the next minute he had disappeared into his room. I just sighed then stood up to the kitchen to bring the dinner to the dining table.
After then, I went up to my room quickly to do something; just for few minutes and by the time I came back, Daniel was already at the table.
It seemed like he was quite hungry because usually he doesn't come down for dinner on time and his face also.

When I noticed this, I just sat for a bit then I looked at Daniel; coincidencially he was looking at me too. Our eyes interlocked and then he looked away and then;
"Where's Peter?, It's dinner time"He asked; Peter was the name of our cook.
I waited for some few seconds then answered, "He's gone to see his mother in the village and would be back in a month time".
Daniel looked at me furiously as he replied, "And he just left, just like that?, It's like he has another job because..............."
I didn't let him finish before I said, "I gave him permission to, he just wanted a week but I gave him a month, he should take a break, Can't I cook for my husband?"
"Are you ready to eat or not?"I asked seconds later.
Daniel didn't even know what to say to me, he just shrugged.
I'll take that as a yes.

I served the food for both of us and we ate; bon appetit.

Daniel's POV
I had no reply for Damilola. She sent the cook away from the house for a whole month?; Was she insane?; and she wants to cook for me?; Poison?; That spoilt brat; what could she do?. This was simply ridiculous.

I just ate what she served for me because I was quite hungry for food after being exhausted by Beatrice.
I was definitely sure she didn't cook the food because it tasted good. She kept glaring at me as I ate; what was up with her?. This was what I was going to face for the next one month; I don't think so.
I finished my dinner before her. After eating, I just stood up and went into my room upstairs. I awaited Beatrice's call; I don't think she had gotten to where she was going yet but still......
I laid down on my bed and rested my head; the weekend was quite occupied and I didn't think I had enough rest. I seriously needed it. Tomorrow is going to be busy; it being Monday.

I slept soundly through out the night and felt a lot more stronger than yesterday. As I opened my eyes, it met with someone else's eyes which was staring at me. I quickly jumped up out of the bed since I wasn't sure who it was. Then I realized that it was Damilola; what was she doing sitting at the edge of my bed and staring at me like that?.
"Good morning, how was your night?"She said, "And why are you here?"I asked her ignoring whatever she said.
"That's not a good way to greet someone in the morning especially your wife, anyways I just came here to bring you your breakfast, you may want to rush to work now so you won't have time to come down to eat, so you can have your breakfast here, enjoy"Damilola answered and then left the room. I went over to the table where she kept the food and just stared at it then went to take my bath.

Damilola's POV
He didn't even touch it!; How could he be so heartless?. Daniel had left for work and didn't touch the breakfast I prepared for him. Why should I be surprised anyways?. I knew he wouldn't take it but it's okay; he will soon.

Daniel's POV
I was back home from work and was very exhausted. I knew there would be no dinner for me at home since that spoilt brat of a wife had sent the cook away without my permission.
And I was definitely not going to eat the poison she wants to feed me.
So I had had dinner in a restaurant close to my office.

As I entered the house, I didn't sight that pest anywhere so I just went up into my room and then........
"What the hell are you doing here?"I exclaimed.
