Chapter 61
A car was at the airport to pick them up, the closer they got to Daylan godfather home the more distant he became barely talking to her, heart racing, beads of sweat formed on his forehead as they got closer to the house.
He swallowed nervously holding Faye's hand tighter when the car stopped and two maids came out to take their bags.
Daylan help her hand as they walked inside, the servants turned to another man who appeared and gave order to take the luggage to their rooms. Daylan stopped him, " wait! What do you mean by rooms?" He asked.
The man cleared his throat, " Your godmother had assigned the guest room for Mrs save" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Faye looked sharply at daylan, was she to be in a separate room from her husband? Relief washed over her when he spoke in a firm tone " You will take her bags and mine to my room, is that understood?"
"B..but sir, godmother will be angry with me if I don't follow her order" he said nervously.
Daylan hissed, " I don't give a damn about what she says" Faye placed a hand on his arm to calm him down. He turned to the frightened man before him, " I will speak to godmother, you won't be in any trouble okay? Now take our bags to my room".
The man bowed to Daylan, " As you wish sir, your presence is expected in the dinner room" he gave the order for the bags to be kept in Daylan's room and left. Taking her hands Daylan led her to the inner room, three set of eyes turned to them. One belong to a young man in his early twenties, another was a man whose eyes seems blank when he looked from Daylan to Faye.
But the scariest eyes of all came from the woman who Faye supposed is the godmother they were talking about earlier, her eyes blazed angrily into hers sending cold chills through Faye's entire body. Daylan spoke first, " Faye meet my younger brother Japhet"
Japhet took her hand and kissed the back of it, " so nice to meet you" he looked at daylan " You did well with this one bro"
Ignoring the young man he turned to father, " This is my wife father" , the older man hugged her without saying anything. Then he turned to the woman and swallowed, his eyes on the ground for few seconds he mustered the courage and raised his head eyes meeting her cold ones, " Faye meet my godmother".
The woman eyes swept over Faye sending cold chill through her, the woman eyes were cold, dark and evil. " I see you brought a girl as your wife" she turned to Faye while still talking to Daylan, " what makes you think she is not a good digging bitch like others you have introduced in the past.
Daylan held Faye's hands tighter, " Ma" he warned in a firm tone, " you brought them, I didn't and this is the only girl I have brought as my wife"
She scoffed " Nice to meet you" she said after few seconds not shaking her hand, " they are all thesame Daylan honey, they are just whores who are after your money and nothing else"
"I will not stand here and watch you talk to my wife like this ma, Faye is my wife and I demand that you give her more respect than you show towards me"
The woman laughed, " respect?"
Dyaln getting impatient and angry turned to the man who sat there watching their drama, " sir, we will not stay here if mother or anyone refuse to respect my wife, we will take our leave since the first treatment we received here was telling the maid to take our bags into different rooms"
The man cleared his throat, " Alright, alright. If their childish behavior means that much to you then she can stay in your room and I will have to talk to them"
Daylan nodded, " Faye is my wife and her place is behind me, I will never allow anyone look down or talk trash about her. You will have to excuse us now so we can get settled in" taking her hand Daylan walked away and they went into his bedroom. Seeing her discomfort he took her into his arms " what is wrong sweetheart?"
Faye had a bad feeling about this family, they were so cold, most especially the woman he called godmother. There were no loving hugs or sign of affection, for some reasons she felt scared wishing now they had not come. " Your family scares me" she blurted softly.
Taking her face in his hands he smiled, " No need to be afraid my love, they are just different"
"Why did your godmother want us in different bedrooms?" She asked.
He sighed deeply wondering if he should tell her the truth, then figuring someone else would tell her Daylan decided to be the one.
"I'm this family for generations the husband's always have different bedrooms"
' but why? She asked giving him a surprise look.
Daylan drew her into his arms, " so that they can have mistress without having to go out"
He felt her stiff and jump out of his arms, her hand flew to her mouth, " OMG! They cheat on their wives under thesame roof? Is that what is going to happen to us?" She moved away from him.
