"Good morning Ms Moore" Edward James said as he noticed she's awake, he woke up ten minutes before she did and took the advantage of taking a selfie of them both.
"Oh my, am sorry I didn't mean to get on the bed" she said and tried to get out of bed but Edward James held in place.
" You didn't get on the bed, I saw that you weren't comfortable the way slept so I carried you on the bed" he told her
"Oh, that's it. How are you feeling this morning?" She asked him
"Good and you don't have to take the risk next time by going out so late at night" he told her but Maria felt he doesn't want her around.
"I didn't come here alone, your chauffeur did bring me here after Kristen called to inform me_ what do you want to eat, I'll get it" she said as she tried to get out of bed again, this time Edward didn't stop her.
"That over there is yours" Edward said to her as he gestured with his hand to the sofa, Maria saw it was a shopping bag, when she opened and saw the content her face was red like a tomato.
"You should eat young master" his assistant said to him
"Hmm, you can get back" Edward said to his assistant who noticed that his boss doesn't want him around then turned to leave but stopped when the washroom door opened revealing a lady. ' is she the young master woman_ oh my gosh she's the lady boss, why didn't I suspect at the initial time they both came to the office. Wow the devil is in love, let the light shine' the assistant thought to himself.
"Seems you have your WILL drafted out?" Edward James told to his assistant flew out of the hospital ward immediately he heard what his boss said, ' hell no, I'm not yet married and you want me dead, ha!" Edward assistant said to himself when he got outside.
Back in the hospital ward Maria couldn't help but ask how he knew her size of cloths.
"You got same body shape as Vanessa and the fact that am in the fashion industry_come let's eat we'll leave after that" Edward told her as he takes his seat on the double sofa, Maria intended to carry the chair beside the bed but it was heavy. Her actions didn't sit well with Edward, " do you hate me that much that you won't share a seat with me?" Edward James said frowning.
" No that's not it, I just_" she was saying
"Do you want yesterday incident to repeat itself, seems you love being in the hospital but I don't have such luxury to waste, I'd rather give it to charity" Edward James told her, Maria had know choice but to seat with him.
"Can I ask you some personal questions?" Edward asked looking at her while admiring the way she eats
"Yes you can"
"Why did you get married to Cent Clark" that question stunned Maria.
" He was good to me and always there for me, which I mistook as his love for me" what she said made Edward to pause wondering if she's okay.
" Why didn't you divorce him when you discovered his true intentions?" Edward asked
"I did but was surprised to find out our marriage was annuled the very day we signed our marriage certificate"
"Why's that?" He asked
"Well the priest who conducted our private wedding was a fraud and I was foolish not to read through the marriage certificate we signed as there were two copies_which means the first one was the actual marriage certificate while the other beneath is the divorce papers" Maria said with a bitter smile.
"Why didn't you leave or call the police?" Edward asked further
"I couldn't because I had no access to my phone, I come out only when I have to perform at an event which he (Cent Clark) would be there, he practically controlled all aspects of my life and when I mean all_ it includes my money" she said and Edward James though new about this things got annoyed hearing it from her.
