Introduction
In the bustling city of New York, there lived a woman named Claire Parker. She was known for her elegance, intelligence, and charming personality. Claire was married to a highly successful CEO named Robert, whose immense wealth and power propelled him to the upper echelons of society. However, behind the facade of opulence and success, Claire's life was overshadowed by the agony of being the overbearing CEO's wife. From the outside, it seemed like Claire led a glamorous life, attending extravagant parties, residing in a luxurious mansion, and being the envy of many. But deep down, she harbored a sense of emptiness and suffocation. Robert's demanding and domineering nature left her feeling trapped, unable to express her true thoughts and desires. Her dreams of pursuing her own passions and finding fulfillment took a backseat to Robert's insatiable hunger for success. Claire longed for companionship, understanding, and a genuine emotional connection with her husband. She yearned for him to see beyond the materialistic world they had built together and embrace the simple joys of life. But Robert's obsession with work consumed their relationship, leaving Claire feeling like an accessory rather than a partner.

Chapter

"We join you together in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit", And there was a loud applause all over the place.

When I heard the clerk declare Robert and I as husband and wife I could feel my heart almost bursting out from my ribcage because I was too excited until I saw the dark face of my 'so-called husband', I had to stop smiling even though I didn't want to but I had to because I could feel Robert's hostility towards me.

Yes! I'm Claire Wellington now Claire Williams because I'm married to Robert Williams. I've loved Robert since I first sighted him and he has been my heartthrob but he doesn't love me and maybe he doesn't even know we've met before. I'm sure he doesn't love me because he still has a grudge towards women because his first love or better still his childhood sweetheart broke his heart, he now believes women are generally players and gold diggers. I know this marriage is not going to be a very sweet one but I still want to give it a try even though he hates women.

While I was lost in my thought I heard the voice of my friends

"Mr Wellington please could we borrow our friend for a few minutes, we're sorry for the inconvenience after all you both are newly weds and we shouldn't be disturbing but we have to talk to her" Harriet said sheepishly

Robert had walked away even before I could ask for his opinion as if my presence alone was suffocating him. I sighed

"Hello Mrs Williams" Harriet and Juliana spoke in their teasing tone

"Well.. You can say it again" I said twirling myself around and we all laughed. I'm not suppose to be laughing this much but I just have to because right now I just want to divert the attention of my two best friends because I am not ready for their questions but it's like lady luck isn't on my side because I heard Harriet's voice

"Claire tell me what's with this flash marriage or....." Juliana interrupted before Harriet finished what she was saying

"Yes thank you harry, Claire I thought we were your best friends but you never informed us about your marriage, you didn't tell us you were getting married to the most eligible, handsome, richest man in New York..."

I could feel the headache coming just by looking at their faces and I don't even know how to answer their questions because I don't know where to start from but I have to say something because they won't stop looking at me with faces almost screaming 'I'm waiting tell me what happened'.

"Guys you have to calm down it's a long story and I'll tell you some other day I've to go and accompany Robert" I said

"Well.. Harry what do you think about that? Okay fine I understand you're eager to meet your husband so go but you have to promise that you'll tell soon" Juli said

" okay fine I promise. I have to go now bye girls"

" okay bye sweetie, take care of yourself"

"Oops.... We forgot, And happy married life to you sweetie, I hope to carry my godson very soon" Harry said

Juli and I laughed.

I went ahead to look for Robert and I found him at the other end of the reception hall talking with his friends, 'this is a good opportunity to know his friends after all I dont know them and I've never seen them before' I thought to myself

"Hello" I said loudly so they could hear me and they all looked at me, they said 'Hi' in unison. I stood there hoping Robert could at least introduce me to them and them to me but it seems i was fated to be disappointed again because he didn't even look at me not to talk of introducing me, since he didn't introduce I have to do it my self.

"Well.. I'm Claire, Robert's wife" I could feel Robert's piercing glare but I didnt glare and in reply they all introduced themselves

"I'm Jordan" I shook hands with him after he said his name. I was so happy because this Jordan has the best law firm in the whole of New York, he is a competent lawyer and I can't believe I just shook him but I have to compose myself even though I'm very excited.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Bernard you're finally conquering this cold and ruthless man" he teased and I smiled and just shook hands with him. I guess this Bernard is the most playful amongst them not only amongst them but in the entire city he's well known for his player attribute, he changes girlfriend like clothes.

'why wouldn't he be a player? He has money and he has the face' I said to myself

I was there chatting with Robert' s friends when I heard the M.C calling us the newest couple in the city to the dance floor and instantly, I felt extremely nervous not because I can't dance but because I'm dancing with Robert, maybe or maybe he'll refuse or tell the M.C he doesn't know how to dance but to my surprise he stood up walking up to the dance floor without me but I still walked up to him and together we walked towards the dance floor. Even though he was still indifferent, I was still very happy because to me this was a good sign or "isn't it' I said to myself and I chuckled
