CELESTINA'S POV
When did my pillow start breathing. I open my eyes and noticed I was lying on Zavid's chest. I slowly untangled my body from his and got off the bed. I saw the time on the clock and saw it was 8:00am. I yawned as I headed towards the bathroom. After doing my business I got out and shook him awake.
" Zavid."
"Zavid."
He opened his eyes and smiled at me
" Good morning hun."
And he gave me a light kiss as he got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom. I smiled and walked into the cloakroom to get ready. I wore a spaghetti strapped red sundress with pink plockadots which reached my mid thigh and paired it with some pink wedged heels. Did light makeup and left the cloakroom. I noticed he was in the bathroom. I placed his outfit on the bed and left the room.
As I walked into the kitchen I noticed Ariel ordering the maids. I signaled them to keep quiet as I watched her.
" Ariel how's your leg now? "
I asked walking towards her.
" I'm better now Celestina."
I nodded at her.
" Marga show Ms. Ariel to the dining room."
I stated and turned to her.
" You're a guest here so how can I allow you to do such work here leave it to me or ..."
The smile on her face fell but quickly came back. She nodded and followed Marga.
" Zavid."
I stated as I felt someone sneaking his arms round my waist whilst I was placing the food on the table. I smiled as I turned my head to him .
"You look ravishing darling."
He whispered to me as I blushed bright red.
" Stop it we have a guest here."
I whispered lightly hitting his chest. He released me and I turned to look at Ariel and I saw a murderous look flash through her eyes but it went as quickly as it came making me feel as though it was a fragment of my imagination.
The silence on the table was a comfortable one except for the fact that she kept sneaking looks at my husband. I frowned staring at my plate.
When we finished so maids cleared the table. I turned to fix his tie well ignoring third party here.
" You're late."
" Hmmm."
He hummed wrapping his arms round my waist.
" How about you go with me to work?"
I raised a brow at home and turned to look at her but she flashed me a smile.
" Sure thing but what about Ariel."
I noticed her paused as she anticipated his reply.
" I'll have the driver send her home to the Harwood Mansion."
I smiled with relief as I saw her stiffening.
" Well then let me go change."
" No, you look perfect."
I laughed at his cheesy line as he let me go.
" It was nice having you here."
I said as I gave Ariel a hug.
" Don't think I don't know you're in love with my husband."
She stiffened at my words.
" It's good you know but just so you know whatever I want eventually becomes mine, I either own it or destroy it."
She laughed softly but yet it sounded maniacal.
" What are you women whispering about?"
We broke the hug at the sound of Zavid's voice
" Nothing much just women's talk, don't you agree?"
Ariel said smiling at me. I could only force a smile and nod. But what she said kept flashing in my head.
I know Zavid doesn't like her else I wouldn't have being married to him but I can't say the same for her. I felt threatened as I thought of what she said I stared at her as she walked out of the house but knew this was just the beginning.
If I can't have him I'll destroy him, this statement kept echoing in my head.
"What are you thinking about?"
Zavid said looking ate worriedly. I shook my head at him assuring him I'm good.
"I'm good."
Not sure if he believed me but he dropped the topic.
On the way to the office my mind wondered off but I could feel his eyes on me but didn't mind. Surely wanting to know why was going on in my head.

" Babe."
She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Zavid's voice.
" You alright?"
He gazed at her worriedly as he caressed her face. She muttered in a small tone.
"I'm fine"
As she gave him a small smile.
He wrapped his arms round her waist and pulled her closer to him in the car.
" You know you can tell me anything."
She nodded and smiled.
" I really am fine. I just got a lot on my mind. I'll tell you everything as time goes ok."
He stared at her then he just nodded.
" Mr. Costa we're here."
The driver announced.
Zavid got out of the car and helped her out.
He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him as he held her cute purse in his other arm. Funny enough there was some kind of harmony in it.
The employees stared at the couple walking into the building in shock. Their boss was known to hate females so much but today he was walking with one.
There were rumors that he got married but he never really stepped out to confirm those rumors so they were treated as rumors but it turns out he did get married. As they saw the woman they could understand why their boss kept her hidden.
She looked exotic with an aura that screamed enchantingly innocence but yet flamboyant. How she managed that but she did. Her green eyes with gold speckles gazed around and her eyes screamed innocence.
The ladies there though to themselves that even her body looked like God's work of love, her waist so thin looking like it could break different from her abundant boobs, ass and hips but yet she looked thin.
Zavid possessively tightened his arms around her when he saw those gaze on her. He felt like hiding her away from the world. She looked at him inquiringly yet curiously when she found that he tightened his hold on her not that she's complaining.
The employees however found her gaze filled with an innocent curiosity like a gazelle at loss.
They made way to his private elevator.
" Why was everyone staring at me "
She asked him curiously but he just stared at her , her cheeks tinged with a shade of pink as she felt the intensity of his gaze.
" Zavid."
She whispered and he smirked at how shy she easily got.
" Because you're the first woman I have brought aside the occasional visit of my family."
"Oh really?"
" Yes."
" Then I'm honored."
She replied as she smiled.
They both made way to his office as they settled in. She gazed at him work silently.
He could feel her eyes on him as he worked and that brought a smile to his face
" Is this what love is?"
He muttered in his heart but there was no answer. Whenever he would lift his head to stare back she would turn her head away looking like a deer caught in headlights.
Soon enough a blush coated her cheeks pink making her look so alluring that he wanted to take a bite off her. His chest vibrated with laughter and she turned into a deeper shade.
He stopped and turned back to his work and she breathed a sigh of relief.
