Seducing My Heartless Husband

when they arrived at the ice cream section, Mr Santos picked a 500ml vanilla flavoured ice cream box. it was afterall his daughter favourite flavour. He picked two more and dropped them in the shopping cart.

He swiftly moved to the chocolate section and picked two dark coloured chocolate wrappers for his daughter.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He also knew that his daughter had a thing for chocolates.

After he finished his little mini shopping, Mr Santos took his daughter’s arm and proceeded to make the payment.

Martina watched as his new father paid for everything in her cart including the packet of grapes.

” Thankyou sir for shopping with us and welcome again.” the cashier said respectfully handing the shopping bags to one of the store staff to help the mister carry them to his car.

On the parking lot, Mr Santos searched for Marina’s car and couldn’t trace it.

” You did not bring your car?” he turned to question his daughter.

” No I didn’t.” Martina replied.

” okay, get in. I will drop you to your house.” he said.

Hearing this, Marina panicked. Drop her to her house? That was her twin sisters house not hers for heavens sake? what was she going to do to get out of this messy situation? she had no idea but she couldn’t panic. She couldn’t have Mr Santos figuring out that she’s not Marina.

” No need, I am waiting for my friend to pick me up.” she said trying to hide the nervousness in her voice.

Just before Mr Santos could retort, Terry’s call came in. Martina thanked the heavens for the perfect timing.

” Hello.”

” Louisa, can you accompany me shopping, I’ll pick you up.” Terry requested, more like said with finality.

” Okay.” Martina replied immediately, anything as long as she gets to save herself from her father.

” My friend, She said she’s almost here.” Martina lied with a straight face.

Terry’s call came as a miracle saving her from having her cover blown.

She didn’t mind accompanying terry to shop ad long as her father would leave her for now.

It felt good to finally meet her father but she didn’t want her father to know about her existence this way.

” Are you sure you don’t want me to drop you to your house? your friend can pick you from there.” Mr Santos insisted.

” it’s okay, I don’t want to tire you , I’ll be fine.” Martina replied trying to shake off her father. She wondered if this is how it felt to be cared for by father. it was nice, just that this wasn’t the right time for that care.

” okay, if you say so. Don’t forget to drop by the house when you are free. You can also bring him with you.” Mr Santos said teasingly.

” Him?” asked a puzzled Martina.

” Yes, him. Your future husband.” Mr Santos said.

” Huh!” Martina said dumbfounded. She didn’t understand what her father was talking about and from her last investigation, her twin sister was single and not in any relationship, so who was this he?

Did Mr Santos see through her act and was testing her perhaps?

She shivered under the thought of being discovered by her father.

” Lucas, he’s your boyfriend. You can drop by the house for supper again.” Mr Santos explained. It seemed to him like his daughter buried herself with work forgetting her boyfriend.

Mr Santos knew that that wasn’t something impossible for his daughter. She would at times exclude herself and forget about everything including him, her father.

But since the old Sly Fox was eager to hold his grandchildren sooner, he couldn’t help but give his stubborn daughter that extra push to get settled.

” oh! hahahahaha…., yes Lucas.” Martina said stuttering.

” Okay, am leaving.” Mr Santos said, getting to his car, he drove off.

Martina waited for afew minutes until her father’s car disappeared before flagging a cab to go back to her house.

Terry had informed her that she’ll be picking her up in a hour’s time so she needed to get home asap so as to disguise herself as Louisa.

In the car, she contemplated what her father said about Marina.

When did her sister get a boyfriend? She wondered.

From what she knew of Marina, she wasn’t the one to rush into things so no thinking could explain why all of a sudden, marina was in a relationship that even her father knew. That was a sign of a commitment because bringing a man to your parents meant you are considering settling down, or atleast that’s what she thought.

Ànd just who was that Lucas guy? was he trustworthy? Did he really convince her to br in a relationship with him or did her perhaps force her? But the Marina she knew was no pushover, so just what the hell happened when she went back to country B?

Countless questions came to her mind but Martina had no answer to them.

She finally came to a decision to have that man investigated. She was looking out for her sister. Martina didn’t want her sister to be embroidered in some messy relationships. To avoid such tragic happenings, it’s better if she did a background check on that man.

The taxi pulled over upon reaching the designated address. She paid the driver and carried her bags inside the house.

Martina went straight to the kitchen to arrange her purchases to their respective storage sections.

She later went to her room to get a change of clothes and disguise before Terry arrives. When she went to bid her mother goodbye, she found her room empty. She checked the siting room and it was empty as well as the kitchen.

She pondered where her mother could be and she suddenly got an idea where to find her mother.

Martina walked to the back yard and just as expected, her mother was preparing a garden which Martina guessed to be a vegetable garden.

That was her mother’s hobby afterall. She loved farming, anything to do with getting your hands dirty with soil.
