Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Worried About You

RAYNE’S POV

My eyes were glued to the entrance of the house the whole evening, waiting and expecting Eric to drive in any minute. but my instincts kept failing me Every Time I felt he was coming.

I got tired of sitting on the balcony so I decided to make some coffee while I waited for him in the sitting room.

It’s already past ten and he isn’t yet back. He hasn’t been this late before and this sudden drama got me going crazy.

Wait, drama! Did I say drama?

My damn husband is missing this is no joke. I said to myself. Damn I was going crazy.

I brought out my phone and dialed his number for the hundred and God knows how many times.

it was still not reachable.

Damn you fucking network I yelled out loud.

“Are you okay mam?” one of the maids asked, trying to show concern.

“Does it seem like I’m okay? Huh!!!” I half yelled at the maid.

I saw how frightened she looked, I felt sorry for her, I really didn’t mean to yell at her or let out my anger at her but I was so pissed right now.

He’s Erickson Arnold right, nothing could possibly happen to him.

But what if something did, why am I so pissed.

“Arrrghhh!” I grunted not too loud.

“Please leave.” I said to all the maids who were standing beside me in the sitting room.

And they all walked out.

I laid on the couch, my eyes glued to the wall clock which just ticked eleven on the dot.

I drank the coffee gently and watched a tv show which was actually boring.

My whole hope was for Eric to walk through that door and say.

“Hey baby, I’m home.”

But that wasn’t happening.

Soon I started feeling dizzy and I fell asleep on the couch.

I woke up the next morning still on the couch.

Didn’t he return home last night, I checked my phone to see any missed calls.

But there weren’t any missed calls or text messages from him.

I looked around, the day was so bright and the maid had started with their morning duties.

I got up in disappointment and walked up the stairs to my room.

I locked the door and slumped on my bed.

I’m such a big fool to think that I matter so much to Eric.

My phone buzzed and I got hold of it immediately thinking it was Eric.

The little smile that appeared on my face earlier died down when I saw it was Ann. But again little hope that Eric had told Ann to call me, perhaps he had been so busy and had no network either.

I didn’t even know if the excuse was making sense but I’ll go with it.

I picked it up after it rang for the third time.

“Hey girl.” was her tiny feminine voice from the other end of the call.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Hi baby girl.” I tried to act along hoping she doesn’t notice that I’m worried in my voice.

“What’s wrong, you sound a bit down.” she said.

And that’s Ann, always detecting someone’s mood.

But still I was thinking about not telling her, or should I tell her.

They’re siblings and she knows him more.

“Talk to me girl.” her voice brought me out of my thoughts.

“I’m just a bit worried.” I said.

“Worried, about what? Wait girl, don’t tell you’re pregnant?” She said excitedly.

How could I have forgotten how dramatic Ann could be.

“No, I’m not pregnant Ann.” I replied

“Then what’s getting you worried?” She asked.

“Eric hasn’t returned home since yesterday and I’m worried.” I said calmly.

“He must probably be in his office lounge.” she said casually like it was a normal thing he did.

“Office lounge with who, and doing what?” I asked.

“Rayne, you really do not know who you got married to. Here let me help. He’s a very busy business man, not like he can’t sit down and let the employees work, he’s not just the lazy type. I bet he’s clearing up some work, that’s why he wasn’t home last night.” She explained calmly

That’s a very good reason and I’m believing it but what if….

“What if he was out with another woman, you know men.” I said, trying to push harder.

“Yeah that’s a possibility for others but not on Eric, you should know that.” she said.

“Whatever, why did you call?” I asked, remembering that wasn’t the main reason she had called.

She must have called for something else.

“Just checking up on you but now that I know you are bored.” She said and I could hear light giggles from her end of the phone.

Oh God don’t let her say shopping, I am tired from all the shopping and parties and also the honeymoon trip.

This whole new lifestyle was so exhausting. and at the end of the day I don’t get to go to work.

“Let’s go on a tour.” she said excitedly.

Just like I knew it.

“Please don’t say the shopping mall.” I whispered gently.

“To the mall.” she giggled excitedly.

“Please don’t say the mall!!!” I said out loud with a not too loud grunt.

“Okay then I’ll take you wherever I’m going just get dressed, I’ll be in your house in an hour.” she said.

“Common Ann, I just wanna have some rest.” I said trying to decline the invite.

“Pick you up in an hour, love you.” she said and hung up.

Damn that bitch she’s always like dis now I have to start getting ready.

I heard someone knocking on my door.

“Come in.” I said nonchalantly without wanting to know who it was.

Two maids walked in.

“Good day mam.” they chorused.

“I didn’t call any of you.” I said.

“Yes mam, we’re here to help you take your bath, it’s time.” one if the maids said.

“Hell no, I can do that myself, out now.” I said to them and they left.

I probably must have forgotten how they work out in this place.
