Love Hate Relationship

Waking up the next day, Sasha realized she was alone in the room, well that's it, he has left before she woke up...again, she thought and got up and dressed the bed. She stared at the pile of dresses on the chair and the events of last night flashed in her mind, well, she hate to do away with the dresses but she can't afford to have her husband thinking she is poor and only married him for his money. His statement last night really hurt her and it's not helping that he had to make comparison with the contract which truth be told was the reason she accepted the marriage but not the reason she married him. Will he believe her if she should tell him that? She doubts.

She started folding the dresses one after the other, she brought a big box and packed them inside before lifting it and placing on top the wardrobe. She walked into the bathroom after and took a long shower. Sasha walked into the kitchen and thought of what to take as breakfast but she was so lazy to cook and so settled for a bowl of cereal, after all, there is no one to cook for and even if there is, what's the guarantee that he will eat it?

She sat in the living room later and watched the news, when she got bored, she switched to action movies and after two movies, she got tired of it and switched to cartoons. After watching Barbie starlight adventure, she couldn't get herself to watch another, she has never been a fan of cartoons anyway. She looked at the time and it was almost three pm, she sighed, she is bored to death, is this how her life is going to be everyday? Sitting here and doing absolutely nothing?

She doubts if she can do this, perhaps when Michael gets back, she will talk to him about allowing her to start working again or else he should just kill her than make her stay in this lonely house everyday. She got up to fix a late lunch but decided against it, she will rather eat outside, at least that will be a reason to get out of this boring house. She walked up to their room and opened her wardrobe only to see it empty.

What the? She thought and then remembered she had removed all the dresses her mother in law gifted her and that means she has to get her own dresses. Well, at least that will make her not to return home early. New plan, have lunch outside and then go shopping, she decided but what is she going to wear now? Perhaps she should pick from the one her mother in law gave her? No, she is not going to give Michael more reasons to insult her. She reached for one of the boxes she brought from her old resident.

She picked out one of her old clothes and put on, got her car key and left the house. Two minutes after she drove off, another black car with tinted glasses followed after. The driver of the car made a phone call before dropping the phone and following Sasha's car.

A young man ended his call and left his office, he walked to the door of another office and knocked before entering "boss, there is news, she left the house five minutes ago" Gary reported.

Michael looked up from the document he was working on "where to?" He asked.

"I can't tell yet, Fish is still on her tail, said he will call once she settles."

"Good, he should continue then. Report to me when you know where she went to."

"Yes boss" Gary replied and left the office.

Michael stared at the close door and the corner of his lips lift up in a faint smile "where are you going now love?" He whispered.

Sasha pulled over at the parking lot of her favourite diner, she got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. The black car parked a few blocks away and made another phone call.

Sasha made her self comfortable in her favourite booth, she picked up the menu and ordered for something crispy and a juice. The juice arrived first and she opened it and poured in a glass, she sipped from it and savoured the taste in her tongue before swallowing, the first sweet thing she had tasted after last night, she thought and it made her love the juice more.

Her food arrived minutes later and she enjoyed every minute of it. She rested for more minutes before deciding it's time to go shopping. She paid her bills and left the restaurant, she got to her car, got in and drove off. The driver of the black car made another phone call before following her.

Sasha stopped in front of the first cloth shop she saw, she parked the car and got out, look around her, she don't know why she kept having the feeling that she is been followed but there is absolutely no one looking her way, she sighed and walked into the shop. The black car parked just opposite the shop and was about to make another phone call when he saw a car parked right beside Sasha's car, the driver of the car got down and opened the backdoor, a beautiful lady stepped down, she looked around her before walking into the shop too.

The driver of the black hastily made his phone call while he kept staring at the shop, wishing he could see what was going on in there. Gary rushed out of his office and knocked at the door of another office before walking in "news sir."

"Go on" Michael said.

"Mistress already left the restaurant but she didn't go home."

Michael looked at him then with a slight frown "where did she go to then?"

"She went to Diva's Beauty" Gary replied.

Michael looked at him as his mind processed his words, why will she go to Diva's Beauty? He thought and then remembered she had removed all the clothes his mother bought for her, his lips curled up in a smile, why, she is trying to prove her self to him, he thought. He knew he should be angered by her attitude but he is actually enjoying it, he always love a lady that can take care of herself, but why did she choose his shop? "Okay then, have Fish wait for her till she finish shopping."

"What is that?" Michael asked.

"Fish reported that not long after mistress walked in, Miss Hertz walked in."

Michael frowned "Kira Hertz?"

"Yes boss."

"Damn" Michael groaned, he got up and picked his car key and threw it to Gary "guess we are going shopping then" he added and picked up his phone before walking out of the office, followed by Gary.

Sasha walked around, looking at different dresses, the shop attendant followed behind her with a sweet smile, introducing any new dress they pass. Sasha couldn't get herself to choose anything yet, all the clothe that the attendant showed her are all top notch, if she should buy one of them then she won't have much left for other clothes but she don't know how to walk away or tell the attendant that the clothes are all to expensive for her, just why did she choose this shop?

"If my eyes are not deceiving me, I would have said that this looks like Michael's new bride but how can it be possible, Michael won't let his wife go shopping wearing nothing but that" Sasha heard a lady say and turned to see a beautiful woman dress in a gown which was on par with all the ones she had been seeing here.

"Hello miss Kira, I didn't know you will be coming today" the shop attendant quickly walked to her, abandoning Sasha without blinking an eye, of course she will choose miss Kira who she knows very well and will always live a tip for her over a woman she doesn't even know and have just been walking around without picking a single dress.

"I didn't know I will be coming, I was just passing by when I saw this lady, I thought she was your boss's wife" Kira looked at Sasha lowly "but I see now that I'm wrong."

Sasha tried to ignore her but her words made her stop "wait, what do you say? Michael owns this place?" She asked shocked.

"Well looks like I'm not wrong, and not just that, you don't even know your husband's properties" Kira snorted.
