Ken peered at her side and peered into her face with his dirty lusty eyes locking into hers, “Yes, you see, Salsa, we don’t have time on our side anymore. We need to elope and start our family in a place that is best conducive for us, where we will be happy ever after. Do you know that Melissa is deeply in love with Brian now?” he added, as a matter of gossip.“OK, I thought I was the only one that figured it out. That girl has developed deep feelings for Brian,” Salsa replied coldly, and felt like resting her head on that muscular body of his.“I could see it in her eyes and voice the moment she was lulling Brian to sleep with that song. I could see the chemistry between them. Those birds are in love. And something tells me that soon Brian may regain his sanity and take over the Fanny Group…”“Yes, Brian could be healed by true love. You know, true love has no limitations. It has no boundaries. It is like a fire in motion, once it gets to its target, there is always a rekindling”, sa
She smiled and stared erotically at him, “That will be golden, Ken, my love,” she was whispering now and couldn’t help to shut her eyes and give in to him. She breathed uneasily and smacked her lips sensually as though she wanted more than he did to her.She got entrapped into his lips as they nipped on their lips with their teeth, licking their tongues and feeling not to stop this secret iniquity right away.He was licking her on the neck now and pressing her forward to himself and squeezing her firm buttocks. Gradually, they fell into the bed before she parted her legs to give him way…Next, they stripped off their clothes, hastily gasping for sex and clenching up as soon as they were naked. In a short while, the bed was creaking heavily and noisily under their weight when he started pounding her.There was no other noise, except for Salsa, who was moaning something that sounded like, “Hmmm…ah…hmmm!”But then I broke down in tears. My heart became heavy brooding over their conversat
Brian had stopped ranting, and I seized such an opportunity to enter my chamber. I tiptoed to the door, wound down the handle and saw the ruins in his room. But he was nowhere at eyeshot. My breath became a thudding whistle as I winked nervously at the spoil and ruin that was scattered all over the place.I paused at a spot, being calculative about my movements, since Brian could dash out from his hideout and lash at me; Occasionally, I expected him to use a weapon on me; to bite me or to catch me in his hold for peril.I combed my eyes within the chambers and couldn’t find any trace of him, but to my dismay, I saw drops of blood in a trail, as though it was his route of escape.Escape? No! I rebuked it in my head, as I wouldn’t want to deal with the fuss of being sanctioned and queried by the Fanny's over failing to watch over my insane husband.I followed the trail and arrived at the backyard of our chambers only to find the rear exit tampered with. The door wasn’t on the floor but

Clamping Brian by the arm, I had to keep to the song as we returned to the villa. It was almost dawn when we got back, and fortunately their heads were very heavy when we entered our chamber. I was very excited. No one saw this error; at least I was able to find Brian within the shortest time I had.Not only was I excited that I found Brian, but also that he didn’t step over the mountain summit which would have cost him his life.This incident had come to install in my heart this special dote on him; most especially about his life. Right now, the Fanny's had entrusted his life to me, and it would be a huge problem on my side if I should flop. The Fanny’s, Opula most especially, would lynch me to death.As I gazed upon him, I saw his entire body itch so much now because the shrubs and weeds had rubbed on him while he meandered his way to the mountain. Although he was mad, I wondered the spirit that inspired most of his actions. Indeed, insanity was evil!He was scratching all over now,
I was out with Brian, holding hand in hand with him as we made to the dining table. I wished I could devise other means to walk with him other than hand-in-hand, because whenever I did it; I was so cautious of his next move.Opula and his sisters were well seated with the father, while their husbands washed up in the poolroom. They had bottles of strong wine and dishes at the pool side, and it was as though they chose to dine separately today.“What arrant nonsense! What the hell is this?” Opula snapped upon catching sight of us.All eyes came on us instantly, and I lowered my gaze in shame, knowing the reason she was yelling at me.Widening her gaze at me, she queried yet further, “Why would you present my brother in such ragged clothes? Father can you imagine! This poverty-stricken Melissa thinks everyone is like her! Can you imagine the clothes Brian wore? Does she realize Brian is the son of the richest man in Rio Hondo?Another voice beamed. “This is ridiculous, father!” Kate sna
There was heavy pandemonium at the villa and I paced up and down pondering over what to do at the time to stop my husband from hurting her. I was as confused as everyone who scuttled for safety.But there was no stopping him. Brian had already started biting her flesh, especially her arm and, all the security held him away from biting further.He wouldn’t let go. His fingers were still clenched on her throat. At the moment, he portrayed a beast, considering his bloodied mouth and constant, angry groaning.When I stared around, I could see Fanny had fled into his room and stared out through his window; that was the best anybody could do right now, because Brian had unleashed his seasonal violence on Opula. I have only put myself in the shoes of Opula right now, and since I stayed in the same chambers with him nothing could stop Brian from doing the same to me. I was so scared now. Things were going to get crazier and messier.A quite couple of others fled away, especially the other gir
I had taken my bath and was midway using some lotion on my skin when I heard the rear entrance open slightly. The door creaked, and I thought someone was either leaving or entering my chamber.It couldn’t have been Brian because he was still bound with fetters, so there was no way he could move an inch. And I wasn’t expecting any visitors either, since after the incident of Brian and Opula everyone had stigmatized us as though we had plaque.I paused my breath in one moment of uncertainty and nervousness. I dared to process the shuffling on the floor which often came on and off as though the intruder was avoiding Brian’s anger and any form of suspicion at the time. I could hear some shuffling of an oncoming walker. It was as though the intruder was being cautious enough to avoid the trouble of Brian and there was no way an intruder could have the guts to sneak into my chamber if he or she wasn’t an occupant of the mansion. But who could that be? I just came out of the bathroom and my
Ken had never been so confused and devastated. “What is this all about?” he queried, “What brought about the divorce? Why did you suddenly come up with divorce? Did I do wrong to nag about your attitude towards this marriage? Do you expect me to keep shut while you misbehave?”“You are the one that has been misbehaving in this marriage!” Opula yelled radically and Ken was startled a bit. “If there is anyone misbehaving, it is you. And I say it here and now you are the worst thing that has ever happened to me…”“What is wrong? Why did you say that? What did I do?” Ken queried and was about touching Opula on the arm.“Get your filthy, adulterous hands off me!” Opula yelled and pulled away, “Every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner. When you think no one sees you, don’t forget God sees you,” Opula broke down in tears and managed to bring out her phone.Just then, feet could be heard knocking on the floor close by and it was obviously the heels of stilettos were knocking o
It was late on a Monday and Opula was yet to return to the villa. Ken had never been so worried. Worse still, Opula’s phone line wasn’t reachable. He had consulted Kate about it and Kate had given him the cold shoulders, with so much malice in her eyes.This had left Ken worried because he couldn’t recall bickering with Kate or quarreling with her. He wondered what could make Kate give him the cold shoulders when he asked about his wife. Ken had told Frank and Tony about it and they mentioned the bankruptcy of Fanny Group was the reason for her attitude.“But today is Monday,” Frank had said, “This is unlike her. She is into this lifestyle only on Fridays, which often took her to the club.”Ken shook his head in confirmation, “Exactly the reason I am worried,” Ken had said as he stroked his ponytail confusedly and took a glass of rum and gulped, “I am still nervous. This is the first time she has been keeping late night, and I am undoubtedly convinced she is in trouble.”“Trouble?” To
The noise of the resounding slap hung in Salsa’ ears, and she shut her eyes afterward, losing interest in seeing more of the video. She raised her gaze, masked her face and sobbed into her palms, as her heart pounded with the heaviness of a banging ball.“No, this can’t be true,” she protested. “As you can see in the video, I called it a quit with your husband. I don’t have anything to do with him anymore. You can call him to confirm…”Opula chuckled in mockery, “Oh really. The fact remains that you were seeing my husband. You have been sleeping with him until recently. You are the mistress that has been distracting my marriage. How dare you, Salsa. Have you forgotten how deep I bite when I am embarking on revenge, huh?”Salsa interrupted, “It is not true, please don’t misunderstand me. I never wanted to date your husband, but he wouldn’t let me be. Despite reminding him about the risk of cheating on you, he still forced himself on me. What on earth would make me share your husband wi
Like a hard-working dog, Salsa hastened into the Villa and headed straight to Opula’s chamber only to meet Kate, well seated to a tray of tequila and rum. Although uncertainty fluttered across her face, Salsa perceived all was not well and if not for her mother’s medical bills, Opula’s chamber was the last place she wanted to be.She stood nervously, arms pressed in front as she watched. Kate sip her wine and grinned hugely, “Good afternoon ma’am,” Salsa greeted , her voice was vague and depressed. She felt the pang of humiliation which hung in the chamber. Yes, it was supposed to be in connection with her rejecting the offer and nothing else.“I guess they are upset for rejecting the job,” Salsa said in her mind and greeted again, this time around very audibly , “Good afternoons ma’am,” and when Kate gave her the cold shoulders , she had to explain herself, “I am back to do the job. My apologies for being an ass. I wasn’t supposed to reject the offer so…so.” She stuttered and swallow
Kate was busy with the maids who assisted the costumier to make her up in her chamber. Suddenly, there was a barge; it was Opula. She was looking thunderous and stolen. She smacked her lips in fury and began to walk up and down the chamber, slightly murmuring under her breath.Kate perceived the unrest on her face and was forced to order the maids and costumier, “Please leave us now.” Her voice was calm, yet her gaze gathered around Opula who kept pacing up and down.“That bastard rejected the offer!” Opula yelled once the maids vacated the chamber. “Despite flopping the job, Salsa has the guts to reject the fifty thousand dollars initial deposit for the job.”Kate’s face screwed up, “What! Salsa did that? What must have given her the guts to reject the money? She needs money like a money hole, especially for her mother’s medical bills,” she contemplated and placed a finger on her jaw , “Are you sure she hasn’t revealed it to Melissa?”Opula clenched her jaw and beamed, “I don’t give
Once Salsa was done serving me breakfast, she got a distress phone call from the hospital about her mother. Fortunately for her she wasn’t holding any of the chinas, otherwise nothing stopped it from leaving her grip and dashing on the floor.For never in my life have I seen someone tremble the way her hands tremble upon getting the distress call. The phone in her hands had fallen and split into parts.“What is it, Salsa? What has happened? Talk to me and stop crying like a baby!” I demanded anxiously, shaking her frail shoulders to quicken her reply.But there was no stopping her. She sank on her knees and wept bitterly. Nothing else came on my mind than her mother passing on.“I just need to get to the hospital right now, Melissa,” she sobbed and sprang to her feet to disappear. “All is not well with my mom. I just pray she remains alive till I get there.”Anxiety hummed on me as I pestered her with more questions, “What could have happened to your mother? Is the cancer growing wors
Each time Salsa caught sight of Opula, unlimited bitterness grew in her heart; the image of Rod in bed with Opula still hung in her mind and she could barely stand sight of Opula. If there was any closer enemy around here, it was Opula and she would never let Opula snatch what belonged to her.For Salsa had come to accept the reality of the true love she had for Rod and Opula would be the last person that could steal her joy from her. Although she was yet to believe Opula was sleeping with Rod, despite seeing them at the cabin, she wondered if Ken would believe her if she should reveal it to him.Salsa was midway fixing brunch when she saw Opula at the door, “You are not supposed to be found here, ma’am.” she reminded Opula as she continued with her cooking.Opula chuckled, “Where else can I find an ugly, cheap chef like you, huh?” she asked and surged closer. “I gave you a simple task to drug Melissa with sleeping pills and you flopped. You flopped a task that paid you handsomely,” s
For days after the yacht party, I hadn’t seen much of Salsa. I noticed Salsa had withdrawn herself from my chamber, always sending the maids to attend to me. The fact was that Salsa still housed guilt in her heart after I mysteriously survived the sleeping pills she put in my drink.Seriously, she thought I would ask her if I should set my eyes on her; I wished I knew what actually happened to me that night.“Why are you avoiding me, Salsa??” I queried her when I bumped into her at the kitchen, “Is there anything you are hiding from me?” I queried yet further.Salsa glanced around and gestured at me to tune down my voice. “I don’t need to remind you, you are not supposed to be found here. Please return to your chamber. I will meet you there,” she whispered to me in a pleading manner.Later, when she came to serve me dinner and sneaked in, thinking I was asleep in bed, I asked, “You have never sneaked into my chamber, Salsa. What is happening?” I asked from my bed, turned around and fl
When I opened my eyes from slumber, my bones nagged at me with a quarrelsome ache and I could tell I had been asleep for God-knows-when and within my face I could feel my favored brow . I yawned from my shattered loins and stared around to see that Eva had been smiling at me.“You are finally awake dear,” she spoke with rare admirable smile dragging down her chin, “You are welcome to my cabin,” she said once she noticed I had perceived the strange surrounding.“Your cabin?” I asked and sat up still stolen by the surrounding before I started fiddling around, “What am I doing in your cabin? Am I supposed to be here? And is the party over?”Eva sat by my side and wondered how she was going to look me in the face and reveal to me that a woman I trusted so much was ready to betray me to Opula and Kate. As Eva smiled at me, she was drowned in thought and she fought within herself not to reveal anything to me.“Yes, dear you are supposed to be here. Em…em… actually you fell into deep slum
