Yours, Never Again

Eloise’s pov

I planned a lunch date for the Harts before the anniversary party at their private estate and this is only the chance I get to meet them officially before the ball.

The people that were going to be present were his older brothers Joseph and Jacob. Jacob is married I suppose and he has two kids already then of course Victoria and their mum, Kate would be there.

The event planner set up the spot we were doing to use according to the theme. I didn’t use the ballroom because it could not contain the theme.

I foot the bills myself because I couldn’t ask Victor for the cash and he didn’t give me a black card like rich men do in novels.

This morning, I packed a few of my clothes and Victor’s too because we going to spend some time with the family. Victor had gone to work early in the morning. We are not on speaking terms, none of us had said anything to each other since we left my house.

I was always busy with the preparation for the party during the day so I sleep early out of exhaustion. We haven’t been staying in the same room either so we didn’t even get to see each other at all.

I went earlier to the Harts’ private estate so I could cook for the family, I wanted to give them a nice first impression as their daughter-in-law and show off my culinary skills a bit.

I took a cab to the estate and I checked in with my id, I got one after I signed my marriage deed with Victor. I have been coming into the estate since three days ago, they still check me in with the id, with tight security.

When I got to the kitchen, the maids already prepared the ingredients and they were waiting for me in the kitchen. I grabbed a red and blue apron and I started cooking.

A few minutes after I got busy with cooking Celine came into the kitchen. Celine is Jacob’s wife, this is the first time I am meeting her in person.

“Hi Eloise, You look more beautiful in person.” She complimented me as soon as she greeted me. I could feel this nice aura from her.

“Good afternoon, you are more beautiful Sis. ” I beamed a smile at her, hoping she would call me Sis too.

“Is there anything I can help you with Sis?” She asked me, emphasizing the word Sis and we both grinned.

“Nah, it’s fine. I think I heard a kid yelp.” I said nothing wanting to worry her.

“Ah, that may be my second kid, he probably got smacked by his older brother.”

“You should give them a little sister, maybe they will change.” We both laughed at my comment. “Get going sis, I will ring you up when I am done setting the table. She left me in the kitchen then I continued with my cooking.

Victor’s pov

I haven’t spoken to Eloise since we left her house, we have both been busy. The housekeeper was giving me intel on her and how she was working hard. I must say she did impress me cos I didn’t have to oversee the party too.

The butler at the private estate told me she took a tour around the estate and the party was not going to hold at the ballroom. I was hoping for more spoilers but she didn’t know much.

I contacted the event planner to foot the bills, and she told me Eloise had paid. She didn’t take out of her company funds, I checked through the Audit team.

This woman. She spent her cash, I will issue a black card for her or something. I got a notification from the company I got a car for Eloise. I had forgotten to have them deliver it to her.

My poor wife has been taking cabs for transportation when she has a rich-ass boyfriend. I am a bad man, I need to right my wrongs.

She is hosting a luncheon for my family, the housekeeper informed me about it this morning before I went to work. I will get to eat her food today, that’s satisfying.

I left the company early because I felt like surprising her. I called the car company and I asked them to deliver it to our private estate.

When I got home, Eloise was setting the table so I went to the kitchen to wash my hands. I joined her in setting the table.

“What did you make?” I asked Eloise, trying to strike a talk with her. She ignored me, then I coughed and signaled to her that maids were around us.

Her smart ass got the clue I sent her, I knew she wouldn’t like the maids’ gossip about us terribly because it would get to my mom’s ears for sure.

“I made your favorite my love. Honey, we should not be talking while we set the table, it’s not hygenic.” She closed the conversation sweetly and cunningly. She didn’t want to speak with me.

“Look who is playing the sweet husband.” My oldest brother Joesph mocked me as he walked to the table, the whole family was there too.

“At least I won’t die single like you.”

“Whao!” Jacob and Victoria yelled. “You have not lost your touch.” Jacob hailed me.

“Introduce your wife to the family officially. I have the weirdest kids on earth.” Mom said and my siblings settled on the dining table plus Celine too. Jacob and Celine’s boys are probably upstairs with their nanny.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

The maids brought in the food and Eloise came in with them so I didn’t have to join her in the kitchen. While I introduced her officially to my family, the butler served the food.

After the luncheon, I asked everyone to come outside. The car company drove the Prado I ordered at that time. The agent that brought the car handed the keys.

“Hold up your cameras guys, you need to video this,” I announced. “This is for my beautiful wife, my first official wedding gift to her. Eloise, I know we rushed things but I am assuring you today that I love you and I would always love you.” Everyone cheered as they filmed the whole scenario.

Eloise hugged me, and I hugged her back. I raised her head for a kiss, my impatient wife took the bull by the horns and she kissed me first.

“Your mom has passed away, Mrs. Hart,” The Butler said making Eloise and I break our kiss. What the fuck is going on?
