“Let me refresh your memory a little, when Kennedy tried to kill your husband. Who do you think saved him?”
“You did” Aerial answered.
“Who do you think kept your family save?” Frederick asked
“You” She answered.
“And why do you think I did that? Why should I care about your family anyways?” Frederick asked.
“That I don’t know”
“Liar, of course I did it for Gold. How ungrateful can you get? You actually owe her your lives. Now let me sound a note of warning to both you and your daughter.
I know what you did to her father so don’t try to play that game on me because It won’t work. I have eyes only for Gold and also don’t try to harm my baby or you might end up dying a tragic death” Fredrick warned.
“Are you threatening me?” Aerial asked giving Gold a deadly glare.
“No. I’m warning you and don’t take my warning for jokes. Chike send her out”
“Ma’am this way please” Chike said but Aerial issued a note.
“I’ll leave but be rest assured that I’ll be back and I will make sure Gold suffers”
“Empty threats, Gold can never suffer as long as she’s with me so just get out”
“You don’t know what you’re getting into, she’s a big time slut!” Aerial fired
“I said get out” Fredrick yelled and Aerial stared at Gold again before walking out in anger.
When she left, Gold ran towards Fredrick and hugged him
“Gold” Fredrick called but she deepened the hug
“I love you so much Freddie and I wonder what I would have done without you” Gold said emotionally.
“I love you more” he whispered kissing her hair.
“Hey I have work to do and don’t worry my love I’ll take care of them” Fredrick assured Gold as he raised her face up and stared into her eyes.
Gold momentarily lost her breath when she felt Frederick’s hand curl around her waist then he pulled her closer to himself. His thumb brushed her lower lip and she heard his breath hitch. He leaned closer to her and slowly kissed her already parted lips.
Her veins throb, my heart flatter and her eyes closed as she readily received his kisses then he slowly kissed her lower lip and disengaged from the kiss then her eyes parted open to see his smiling face.
“Looks like someone can’t get enough of me” he teased and Gold hit his shoulders playfully.
“You wish” Gold huffed
“Prove it to me then” Fredrick said as he pulled her closer to himself and kissed her at once. She felt her body go haywire as he kissed her breath away and her lips parted open to receive his.
“My love, you need to go to work remember” Gold whispered in between kisses
“Fuck, we will continue this when I get back” Fredrick said to Gold as he left the house.
QUEEN POV
“Ouch mom it hurts” Queen said boiling in anger as she applied the hot cloth on the cane marks on her skin.
“I’ll make sure Gold pays for this” Queen assured
“Don’t worry Queen this will be over soon” Aerial said.
“I can’t believe he wants to marry her and I also got whipped too. I hate Gold so much… ouch” Queen said and immediately the door slide open and Mr. Collins walked inside the room.
“What is he doing here? He obviously came to mock us” Queen said to her mother
“Have you seen it, see what you brought upon yourself because of greed and jealousy” Mr. Collins said.
“Dad is that all you can say” Queen asked sobbing
“What else were you expecting me to say?” Collins asked.
“Collins, your daughter was beaten by Fredrick and this is all you could say. What are you a man for if you can’t act as one” Aerial asked angrily.
“Oh it is now that you know I’m a man then as a woman, a mother precisely what did you do?”
“Collins you should call Gold home. She needs to be taught a lesson after all you are father” Aerial spoke harshly to Collins.
“Can you hear yourself? Hear the nonsense you are vomiting from your mouth. Why on earth would I do that? No one asked both of you to go there” Collins fired back at her
“You can’t even defend your wife and child. What type of a man are you?”
“I didn’t come here to argue with you. Well since you care so much about not letting Queen stay all alone at home, you can stay with her yourself”
“Meaning?” Aerial asked
“Meaning you won’t be coming with me anymore I’ve already found someone else to replace you”
“Collins. How dare you? I’m your wife so I should go with you and not some mistress. Wait a minute Collins are you cheating on me?” Aerial asked but Collins huffed.
“Think whatever you want to think but I don’t care. I’m out”
“Collins stop there” Aerial called but Collins sneered and walked out then she felt tears gathered in her eyes.
“This is all Gold’s fault. Not until she came back from Lagos, I was still in charge but now he barely listens to me, barely talks to me, he even stopped having sex with me and It’s obvious that he’s cheating on me.
But not to worry, I will skin and eat that woman alive then as for Gold, I’ll make her miserable to the extent that she will beg for death” Aerial assured herself inwardly while crying.
GOLD POV
“Oh My God Best, I’m so happy for you” Esther said giggling
“Same here Gold” Ella smiled.
“Thanks” Gold responded with a smile on her face
“I still find it funny that Queen was flogged like a like a six year old child” Esther said laughing..
“That serves her right she’s is a complete replica of her mother and they are both husband snatchers” Gold responded
“She is even lucky we are not in Lagos because she would have definitely slept in the cold room” Ella said a bit angry.
“Cold room? What’s that?” Esther asked them
“It’s like a metallic room where offenders are kept below freezing point” Gold answered the curious Esther
“Woah, that sounds horrible” Esther said
“It is and actually no one ever comes out alive but Gold ws the first. Ella said to her sister Esther
“Woah, Gold you’ve been there” Gold asked wanting a response
“Uhmm yeah. I was accused of trying to poison Fredrick but It was actually a set up”
“That was terrible I guess” Esther asi
“I still wonder how Gold survived because no one last more than fifteen minutes in there and she was there for more than twenty five minutes”
“Actually something strange happened”
“Really? What happened?”
“Few minutes after you left, the freezing effect stopped like they turned it off or something but I was too weak to really notice it”
“And you never mentioned it to me”
“You never asked and not until now, I really didn’t remember it”
“Oh my God! It’s obvious Fredrick asked them to turn it off. What if that was part of his plan?”
“That means he knew I was innocent and basically almost let me freeze to death. God, he’s so mean” Gold muttered.
I can’t believe this but Fredrick has some explaining to do” Gold muttered as she left Esther and Ella to their room to confront Fredrick.
When she got to the room, she saw him laying on the bed so she asked him if he had a hand in whatever it was that happened on that day but he chuckled.
“So it took you this long to figure it out” Fredrick mocked.
“It’s not funny” Gold said frowned.
“Look baby, I just got back from work and I need to bath, eat and rest” Fredrick said smirkinf as he removed his shirt which visibly revealed his perfect abs.
“You are obviously trying to run away from this conversation” Gold said and hit his shoulders but he held both of her hands and pulled her closer to himself causing her let out a gasp.
“You really want to know what happened right? but in a condition that I will make love to you after telling you” Fredrick whispered as she felt his breath on her neck then she swallow hard as her breath hitched.
Frederick is so good at making me want him and he’s completely irresistible” Gold muttered inwardly then he lifted her up and carried her on his torso. He kept her on the bed with him on top of her before kissing her neck again which made her moan softly.
“Well…” Frederick began in a whisper
FLASHBACK
FREDERICK (POV)
“These maids are something else, I can’t believe she tried to poison you”
“She’s innocent Ethan It was all a set up”
“How?… Never mind but sometimes I wonder if you are really are human”
“Of course I am and I want the girl because she’s mine. Nicholas go tell Chike and Elvis to turn off the freezer and be fast about that”
“Yes master” Nicholas said as he scurried out.
“Seriously bro, don’t tell me you are into her?” Ethan asked
“Don’t be silly”
“You just said she’s yours and now you are denying it” Ethan muttered angrily.
GOLD POV
“Of course, I knew from the very first day I set my eyes on you that you were mine”
“Why me Freddie?”
“Because I know you are pure Gold, you are different and I wasn’t wrong about you. I really didn’t expect to fall so much in love with you. I thought I could control the feelings I had for you but I was wrong baby.
I love you so much and I will love you till the end of time and even in our next lives, I will still love you” Fredrick assured her then Gold smiled softly as she stared into his eyes breathless.
“I love you too Darling and I don’t regret falling in love with you at all because you gave my life meaning, you light up my world even in the darkest moments. The love that I feel for you is eternal and I will forever love you till the end of time and even in our next lives”
“I can’t wait to make you mine forever” Fredrick whispered and kissed her at once.
The next morning, Gold smiled as she shoved the popcorn into her mouth. The three of them were actually watching a movie in the sitting room nd as usual, Fredrick has already left for work although they were supposed to spend much more time together but work wouldn’t allow them.
“Well, he did say he was going resolve the issue within a week but honestly, I can’t wait, for us to go to a lot of places together and have fun” Esther said to her inner self until her she was interrupted by Esther’s ringing phone.
“Ok, thanks a lot” Esther giggled as she ended the phone call.
“Who was that?”
“Guess” Esther said to them as the grin on her face widened.
“Just spill it already” she begged
“Fine I just got admitted into the university” Esther said happily
“Wow that’s great news”
“I’ll have to thank your boyfriend but first thanks to you too Best, you are the best friend one could ever ask for and you just made my dreams come true” Esther appreciated Gold
“Friends help each other best. so ensure you read your books” Gold added.
“You are starting to act like my mom”
“Whatever”
“Ella, you never really told us about your sex escapades that day at the club?” Gold asked and Esther concurred
“Yeah that’s right how was it?” Esther asked grinning
“Well it was good” Ella simply replied.
“Just good?” Esther asked as she shrugged.
“Yeah, well he actually gave me his Call card”
“Really? he did?”
“Yeah but I haven’t called him besides I don’t have a phone” Ella muttered the last part.
“That won’t be a problem because I actually got you a new phone” Gold said to her.
“Woah, you got to be kidding me?” Ella asked unbelievably as she rolled her eyes at Gold.
“Well, I’m not. I ordered for it this morning so let me go get it” Gold said and rushed out of the sitting room ad after some minutes, she came back with the phone which was enclosed in it’s packet then she handed it to Ella who. was still staring at her in disbelief.
“Oh my God, Gold, Thank you so much” Ella said hugging her tight.
“Awwn, thanks Best” Esther cooed.
“You welcome sweeties” Gold replied sweetly with a smile on her face then Ella opened the phone packet and brought out the phone.
“Oh my God, its an iPhone 11 pro?” Ella exclaimed as her jaw dropped.
“This is really expensive Thanks Gold” She said this time with tears rushing down from her face
“How many times are you going ti thank me already?” Gold complained about the incessant thank you
“As many times as possible because you are such a darling” Ella said giggling.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Wow you got ma a sim card as well?”
“Yeah, you should register that online”
“Let me help with that” Esther said and she helped her sister register the Sim card on her phone.
“Done” Esther said smiling when she finished the online registration.
“Thanks sis” Ella said
“You should call him now”
“No way besides, I’m yet to recharge” Ella complained
“That won’t be a problem, I will transfer airtime to you” Esther said
“Esther” Ella called in desbelief but Esther ignored her
“So, I’m done. Call him now” Esther said pouting.
“Esther it was just a one night stand no feelings attached”
“You should call him” Gold told her.
“You never can tell, He might end up being your boyfriend” Esther said laughing out loud.
“Geez stop it”
“Then call him” Esther said giving her a funny threatening look
“Fine” she sighed and brought out the call card from her purse.
“Wow Noah Philemon huh? ” Esther giggled teasingly as she looked into the card.
“Fuck you!” Ella huffed dialing the number on her phone.
“Whatever sis” Esther said as Ella placed the phone on her ears and whispered to them that it was ringing.
ELLA
“Hello is this Noah?” Ella asked unsure of if she should be doing this because to her it was just a one night stand and it meant nothing
“No this is Wendy and what do you want with my boyfriend?”
“Boyfriend?” So this bastard has a girlfriend and he slept with me. I knew this was a bad idea” Ella muttered inwardly.
“Yes, got a problem with that?” Wendy replied rudely until a harsh voice spoke at the background
“Wendy what the hell are you doing with my phone? and how did you get into my room” Philemon asked as he dragged the phone from her. S
