THE BILLIONAIRES DESTINED WIFE

ALISON'S POV.

I was glad when the time came for me to go back to campus. The day had begun with a cloudy sky. As I set out about midmorning, the sky began to show signs of an approaching thunderstorm. It broke up the town just as I reached the campus and entered the passage leading to the hostel. I rushed in, scarcely escaping the downpour. I was absorbed into the warmth of the room. As for my previous attendance in class, I had a lot of assignments to do before school resumed, but none of them were done because of how busy I was in the house.

Huh! I gasped for breath, stood in the room, and surveyed the sky. It was dark gray with the rain which fell as if someone up in the sky was letting down an endless sheet of curtains.

I signed the wall clock and it was getting to 11 am,

"Melissa should be on campus by this time but she isn't here ", I realized that something was drawing g irresistibly toward her." Was it the suspicion that she went to her boyfriend's place or something might happen on her way here? I soliloquized

I kept wondering how in the world it was going to be possible for Melissa to hide something from me.

I was left in a deepened sense of mystery, both as a result of all that I had heard of her and what I had seen of her. I wished to stay longer and learn more but I had a lot of work to be done.

I started packing and sweeping and did everything supposed to be done in the hostel.

The thunderstorm had blown itself out. The sun came out and I had to dry the napkins I used for the cleaning.

I took a bucket and headed towards the path to fetch water when I saw Melissa approaching.

"Melissa! Why are you now coming?

I was told you left early from the house to campus but I didn't see you when I came!

"Tell me, where were you?

I furiously asked her.

She kept quiet and I felt something bad in me,

I realized that she was weeping.

"Won't you talk to me? I retorted!

"What's wrong Melissa?

She could not bring herself to utter a word.

She threw herself heavily against me sobbing quite loudly now

"Well, if you won't talk to me it's okay, it will all be over Melissa.

"Everything is going to be alright, " I said to console her.

I helped her with her bags and took her to the hostel.

I served her the breakfast I prepared and made sure she had enough rest, I left her to fetch water and I came back to see her sitting quietly on the bed with his cheeks supported in her palms.

"Now tell me, Melissa, what's bothering you?
