「「A R I A 」」

"Hello?"

"We have to attend my cousin's wedding. So be ready, I'll soon be home."

Well that was generous.

Two weeks has passed since the ears dropping incident and I have been fervent to talk to him about uncle Taiwo.

Right, because he will give you answers.

I signed deeply and continued looking through my closet for my attire, it was a silk velvet evening gown with a bit of cleavage. I'm hoping to get a reaction from my dear husband. . . He has been avoiding me all week. Being a designer came with a lot of perks, I could design whatever I wanted.

I slipped into the silk dress, then proceeded with my make up, after that I slid on a pair of wedges and carried my black purse filled with dark chocolate. I bit my lips, unsure about my appearance. My cleavage was noticeable, but not too much.

I can't start feeling nervous. . . I am a queen, I have to act like one.

You're getting nervous now, when you were designing it, you didn't think of the consequences.

My phone started ringing, and I instantly knew it was Adekunle. . . I walked out of the house and straight into his white porch. When I got in he didn't look at me, instead he fixed his eyes in the road and drove off.

A few minutes later, we pulled over at the same church we got married in.

Memories. I wonder if he still remembers our anniversary.

My side of the door opened, causing me to snap out of my thoughts. It was Timi, one of the royal's trusted guards. "Good day your majesty, Princess Sarah is waiting for you in room 3."

I smiled and turned to face Adekunle, but found his seat empty. I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the car and made my way to Sarah's room. Sarah is a simple girl that fell in love with Segun, Adekunle's cousin. I met Sarah two weeks ago. Folake brought her over to the house, she needed me to design her gown. It was a last minute change, the first dress she purchased got stained with red wine.

My first thought was why? Why would you drink red wine with your dress on?

At first I didn't know who she was, but she knew who I was, after speaking for hours she then spoke about Segun, and I was there like, 'what?'

"There you are, I thought my brother locked you in the car." I laughed at Folake's silliness, she pulled me into a tight hug and opened the door.

"Finally! Welcome. Guys I'm so nervous, I'm literally second thinking. . . " Sarah mumbled.

"Enh?! Second thinking what? You better not think about it, we have a wedding to attend, and you have babies to make."

The three of us burst into fits of laughter. "Kai, your head is not correct."

"Anyway, how do I look? Is the dress pretty? Do you think he will like it? What about-"

I immediately hushed her, "calm down! Your dress is perfect, wasn't I the designer? Besides, he loves you for you. Isn't that why he's marrying you? You can go in rags, and he will still accept you, the bottom line is that today is your wedding, so own it!"

She flashed me a smile. "Thank you Aria."

"Wait wait, rags? Hm, my mother will call off the wedding."

"Shut up Folake."

Folake put her hands on her hips, it gave me a moment to admire the design I made for her dress, her red velvet gown was similar to mine, but it had bows. "You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood."



A few minutes later, and we were sited in the church. I was sited next to Adekunle, who held onto my hands like I was his last meal. . . Let me rephrase that, he held onto my hands like I was the best wife ever!

As if, snarled the infamous voice behind my head.

The truth has to be told, I might have developed some kind of feelings for Adekunle. Yes he is an arrogant frog but I just feel like we can actually make it work. I see the way he acts in front of his family, he treats them with genuine love. Deep down, I wish he would treat me the same way.

Okay! Get your feelings together girl! This baby sure is making you feel strange nonsense.

The church erupted into a loud round of applause and the couple made their way out of the church. Segun look so adorable with his baby blue suit, they were literally a match made in heaven.

Folake signaled me to come over and I let go of Adekunle's hand, but he stopped me. "Hey, where do you think you're going to? You're wearing that revealing piece of shït and you want me to let you walk around like that?"

"But Folake is calling me!"

"Hm, just wait till we get home." He turned his heels and walked away, leaving me there thinking of what he will do to me once we get home, I was stupidly excited.
