" we are legally and traditionally married so of course you have to carry out your duty as my wife" he says in such a tone that I felt like slapping him. The only reason I did not, is because I am the one who cause this whole situation. 

" you can't be serious " was all I could say. Does he want me to do all wife duty like taking care of the household? I guess I have no choice in this matter.

" fine. Just until we divorce " I say. I don't have a choice but to pay for my sins.

" Majid do you know what you are saying? " Majid's father, Mr Benjamin asked him. 

" yes, father I know what I am doing" Majid insisted.

" then I guess it is okay" Mr Johnson agreed to what Majid has suggested. 

" Adrian, you will have to move into my house" Majid says to me. I can't believed this is happening to me. My house is a bit far from here so I will have to leave now.

" Tomorrow then I will go to your house " I say.

" no, it must be today" he insisted. Does he not understand that I need to calm down for today and prepare myself physically and emotionally for this situation.

" I don't think that is a good idea, my house is quite far from here" I tried explaining. I am silently praying that he will understand.

" no I disagree. Why don't we enter the car and go pack your things" he says.

" um, Majid I think you should listen to him" says Mr Benjamin. Yes finally, someone seems to agree with me.

" no dad, they have hurt me enough. I won't take no for an answer " he insisted. God, why is he so stubborn. Fine, I know I did wrong but he should take it easy on me.

" I guess you won't change your mind. Fine, let us go and pack my things" I decided to agree with Majid. I am too tired to argue with him.

He ushered me to his car. I was about to open the car door by myself but he first me to it. He opened it for me as if I was a lady. Damn you Majid, stop rubbing it in my face that I am your wife. I know you just want to mock me. But I won't let you treat me like this.

" you know that I have hands, right?" I say to him as I entered the car. 

" my wife should not stress himself " he replied me.

" dude in case you are forgetting I am a man like you" I answered him back. He pause and look at me and smiled before he close the car door. What was he smiling for? Is he laughing at me? He entered the driver seat and started the car.

" where to?" He asked me.

" pine villa road" I say. Yes, my house was indeed far. I usually stayed at Florence's house since I am her personal assistant. Most times I spend my weekend in my house. As he drove I sneak look at him. The feeling that I had earlier that I had seen him before returned to me but for the life of me, I could not remember where I had seen him. Maybe I have met someone who look like him before, only time can tell.

He keeps smiling to himself. This is definitely not a situation to smile about. I wonder what is making him smile. Could it be that he is planning to make my life a living hell?

" we are here" he says, pulling me away from my wondering thoughts.

" huh yes" was the only dumb thing that came out of my mouth. He drove inside my compound which was very small. My mother and I use to stay here together until she started travelling around. He opened his car door and automatically lock the car knowing fully well that I was about to open it myself. Before I could manually remove the lock he has already opened the door, waiting for me to come out. 

" stop treating me like a lady " I shouted at him. I didn't mean to shout but he was frustrating me.

" stop shouting. As long as we are married you will always be treated the way you deserved to be treated" there is definitely something wrong with his head. Could he not see that I am a man? Oh he is definitely mocking me. I ignored him and got out of the car. We walk to the front door. I check my pocket but I could not see my key. I had to raise the carpet for the spare key.

" that is such an obvious place to keep a key" Majid says.

" well there isn't much things of value here" I say. " it is just a place where I lay my head once in a while" 

" still you should be more careful. Well, since you will be staying with me, I will protect you" he says. But why does this sound like a speech from Romeo to Juliet.

" I can take care of myself " I say as I open the door and entered and as usual my house is a mess.  I quickly head to the room and brought out my clothes, I pack only the clean ones and left the dirty one. I pack some other things too since I don't know when I will be coming back.

" is this your mother?" He asked me. He was holding a picture of my mother and I of when I was graduating at Hamilton's college.

" yes" I say. 

" she is beautiful, no wonder you are handsome too" this guy is definitely patronizing me.

" I am done" I say ignoring his comment.
