Salsa was standing idly; despair crowding in and humiliation hung over her. Opula, Kate and Fanny surrounded her. Earlier the next day, Kate had given Salsa a sack letter, which Salsa presented to Fanny.

When everyone saw the fallen countenance on Fanny this morning, they knew he was going to blow hot at his Kate.

But then Fanny had nullified the sack letter and invited the girls, “Why would you sack my chief chef? Do you realize Salsa has rendered a selfless service to this family? She has come a long way with us that the only thing that remains is to bear our surname.”

Kate fumed at Salsa and pointed at her, “Did you report me to my father?” she queried her and turned to Fanny to say, “Father, Salsa has overstayed her welcome as the chief chef. It is time for her to leave. We are going to hire another chief chef who is respectful and loyal…”

Salsa broke down in tears and couldn’t raise her gaze at her accusers.

Fanny queried Kate, “What the hell did she do to have warranted a sack?

    Once the Lamborghini halted, Rod furiously opened the door and alighted as lightning struck through the sky. His face was filled with thunder and brimstone. He had handy the gift items which I rejected. Snubbing the servants that greeted Rod was an understatement; he almost hit some of them that got in his way.He almost bumped into some of them, and he didn’t stop rolling his eyes at those that murmured about his anger. The fact was that the son of a billionaire was furious and prancing like a bull to confront his father .When he barged into the penthouse, he met his father, addressing a few of his domestic servants about what to do at his new site.“Everyone leave now. I want to have a word with my father!” Rod commanded through clenched teeth.And promptly under the sound of his voice the servants took a walk, leaving father and son.“What the hell was that, son?” Mr. Benson groaned as he gaped at Rod, who was fuming with despair and scorn. The task of getting an eligible wife was

    On this day, mom was in her garden harvesting some bunches of flower which had posed as weed to her vegetables, when a Ferrari sped and halted at her compound.She never expected a visitor and since she wasn’t expecting any, she busied herself with the weeding and didn’t consider checking who it was.“My mother-in-law! Where are you? I am here!” a voice called and my mom raised her gaze from the ground. Suddenly, she had familiarized herself with such name because she was certain I would get married to Rod Benson, whether I like it or not.And emphatically, no one called her by this name except Rod Benson. When she raised her gaze she saw a young man in a T-shirt and jeans, having dark shades on his eyes, with luxury hanging around him.Indeed, mom was aging; she couldn’t recognize who it was until Rod took off his dark shades and lit his face with a smile.“Rod Benson,” mom called, and tossed her hoe to the ground before dusting her hand on her wrapper to go forth to him. “My son-in-

    Having waited for Salsa to show up in my chamber, but to no avail, I decided to check her up in the kitchen where I knew she could be found. I needed to appreciate her for saving me from being implicated the other day.Salsa gave me a second chance to stay at the Fanny villa; of course, she had saved my marriage the moment she told a lie about the gift.“Hey, I have come to say thank you for saving my marriage,” I said softly , standing at the door as she got startled under the sound of my voice.“You startled the hell out of me,” Salsa said calmly, her lopsided smile dragging from ear to ear as she turned on the gas cooker, “What are you doing here, Melissa? I hope you know I will be punished drastically if you are found in the kitchen.”I was all smiles too, as I glanced around for any onlookers, “I know family members are restricted from the kitchen. But it is taking you too long to take breakfast in my chamber,” I whispered and glanced around.Salsa seemed to be scared; it was evi

    A mountain of frown crept into my face as I shot an investigative gaze at Salsa. “What is happening, Salsa? My mom is here?” I asked, stood to my jerking feet and advanced to the window.I could hear voices at the third gate, and it was obvious the security had restricted her from barging in and they were yelling at one another now.“I should be asking you that?” Salsa snapped and shot crimson gaze at me. “How did your mom know that you are here? Did you tell her the last time you visited?” Salsa queried as she joined me at the window.A sudden rain of sweat descended on my body; nervousness enveloped me as my lips shook with anxiety. I stroked my French hair confusedly and paced up and down. I was locked in utter confusion.“I never did,” I replied at a breath, “Why would I reveal my destination to my mom, knowing how furious she would be? After I lied to her that I have reaccepted the divorce, I told her I had relocated to Ohio where I worked as janitor.” I paused as suspicion jumpe

    She had barely uttered out a word when mom’s voice shrieked at her, “May thunder strike that mouth with which you called me an in-law to a shameless billionaire who does nothing than lure naïve girls into unwanted marriage…”Fanny’s brow had knitted immediately as he surged closer to mom, with folded arms, “What is the problem, mom? Do you realize who you are insulting, huh? You can’t come to my villa and blurt out rubbish. Do I need to remind you that this is my compound and you have no right to insult me?”Mom couldn’t listen to me; my molded arms were still pleading with her but there was no stopping her. She hollered at a disheartening manner, which pulled out Eva and their husbands from where they had been in the villa.I couldn’t withstand this anymore; I lowered my gaze in shame and wailed uneasily like a child.“Even if I am in your toilet I will talk sense into your dumb head. You evil billionaire!” mom cursed, “So it is you that charmed my daughter into a marriage of no retu

    With jerking hands, I wiped my cheeks, daring to comprehend what mom meant by one last decision. Everyone’s face dragged in frown as they stared at mom in one moment of bated breath.“Melissa,” mom called and said, “You are going to accept divorce this minute and join me home or you reject divorce and remain disowned forever,” she said through clenched teeth and impatiently waited for my reply.Opula and Kate shook their heads in approval as if, in a subtle way they would give me a warm handshake for finally agreeing to accept divorce.Fanny dimmed his watery eyes at mom and threatened her with his thunderous face. It was not only he that settled his gaze on my lips waiting for my reply, also Eva, Opula, Kate and Salsa wondered what my reply would sound like.I stood to my feet in one moment of payback. Mom had really bitten more than she could chew; what stopped her from inviting me home so we could figure this out. She shouldn’t have embarrassed me in this way. This was absurd.Thro

    Shortly after mom had disgraced me, Opula and Kate hissed and walked into the villa. I knew they felt disappointed at my decision. They thought mom would have been the only person who would have convinced me to accept the annulment of my marriage. But my mind for Brian had gone rocky and not even my late father resurrecting from the dead, could convince me.“Pet Melissa and ensure she is well taken care of in her chamber, “Fanny ordered the maidens who had been part of the onlookers.Frankly speaking, I had gone soft in the head, my countenance displayed shame. Salsa and Eva surrounded me and I could hear Eva telling the maidens to disperse. As usual, she had taken my dilemma personally and wished she could save me from my fears.I didn’t expect this to happen; into the night I wailed bitterly and felt dejected. To an extent, Salsa and Eva grew wary of petting me.“Hence forth you cease to be my daughter. If you hear that I am dead tomorrow, please don’t come to my funeral …”Those la

    Salsa had nicknamed Fanny a time bomb that was about to happen. And indeed Fanny was. If not for Salsa, who made that revelation to me, some day Fanny would take me unawares and demand a divorce.I was midway putting my inner chamber in order when a servant approached my door, knocked shortly and said, “Melissa Fanny demands you share the table with him.”With my eyes shut, a wave of irritation swept over me and I wondered if I could keep low and not question his intention of getting Brian an older lady once he woke from a coma.“I will be with him in a jiffy,” I said, and swallowed hard to contemplate the audacity I would use to share a table with him.“If Brian wakes from a coma and Fanny threatens to deprive him of being the heir unless he marries this old lady be rest assured that Brian may divorce you.”Those words of Salsa resounded in my head as I got ready to go to Fanny. “Brian would never do that,” I said to myself, “He can never divorce me,” I said yet again as I shook my h

Although fanny had never supported their marriage, yet he least expected Opula asking for divorce.From the onset of their marriage he knew Opula wasn’t just in love with Ken, but she outlived Ken and wouldn’t heed to any of his advice about Ken being a gold digger and a cheat.With the manner at which Opula loved Ken, Fanny never believed a day like this would come; a day when Ken would walk into the villa , with a furious , red face and plead with him to beg Opula on his behalf.“Please father-in-law,” Ken said, sinking on his knees, “I don’t want this divorce . I want my wife back. I am innocent of what she is accusing me of. I still love my wife.”“Hold on Ken,” fanny ordered him.

    Upon hearing that Opula leapt to her feet and jumped in excitement, before tweaking her waist and danced around. Seeing how carelessly she jumped around, and danced, the doctor was forced to warn her, “Apply caution Opula. This is early pregnancy. You need to be careful to avoid miscarriage.”Bu there was no stopping Opula. She kept to her dance and tweaked to an imaginary song, “Oh my God! This is unbelievable, doctor. I am pregnant? Wow!”The doctor smiling cheek to cheek, said, “Finally, after ten years of barrenness you are pregnant for your husband. He must be a happy, fulfilled man by the time you share the news with him…”“No! Never!”Opula interposed him and rolled her eyes at her beholder, “I can never be pregnant for that bastard! I can’t recall the last time he shared the bed with me so I wondered how I became pregnant for him,” she rubbed her stomach appreciatively.The doctor dragged a knitted brow at her to question her guts, “I perceive separation in your tone.

    When I said those gift items were for Opula , I didn’t know I was saying the opposite because what I just saw now baffled me . Finally Rod had decided to fool himself by presenting those gifts to me.Once I got back from the cinema, I was provoked by an offensive sight of the gifts which were kept at the entrance of my chamber with a stylish tag ; For my wife, Melissa.“What the hell is this? Who kept this rubbish?” I yelled, my gaze combing around for any servant and once one came in sight, I queried him, “Hey do you know who put this rubbish in front of my chamber?”Bowing to me, the servant explained briefly, “Ma’am these are heartfelt gifts from your prospective husband, Rod Benson. He deemed it pleasurable to present them to you in this manner.”Right about now I wasn’t infuriated by what Rod just did, I was mad at the servant for mentioning the word ‘husband’ when describing Rod Benson.“May your tongue get twisted and rot for ever referring to Rod as my husband.

    Opula couldn’t stop throwing up and already her chamber had been messed up. Kate didn’t hesitate to help her into the restroom where she continued throwing up. Opula had not had it this way before and Kate was as scared as a rabbit that stole a carrot.“What is wrong with you, Opula?” Kate queried, “I will invite the medical right away. This is getting out of hands,” she nagged and about to leave the restroom.Opula called to her attention. “Hold on, sister, just hold on,” she gasped and gestured at Kate to return, “I think it is just a churning in my stomach. You don’t have to invite the medicals. It will be obnoxious; I will visit the family doctor for a test.”Kate quarreled with her ridged brow, “Can you just listen to yourself, Opula? You have thrown up the potato and steak we had for breakfast and you are still sounding impossible. Is it until I lose you that you will know you are not feeling strong?”Opula placed her hand on her stomach. She hadn’t thrown up for more than a de

    Opula and Kate were having itchy ears all through the hours Rod Benson spent at the villa. And although I had stayed in my chamber with Salsa yet the young chef never for once settled down without peeping through the window to see if Rod and Fanny were still discussing at the dining.“You don’t seem to be at rest. Anxiety has clouded your eyes ever since Rod got in,” I said to Salsa who was busy fixing some fresh fruit juice, which I had not seen her make for a while now.“I am looking out for Rod and Fanny who are eating at the dining. I just want to ensure they are lacking nothing and if they need the services of the chef,” she lied.I interrupted her, “Is that the reason you have been frequenting the window for the hundredth time? Besides, you are the head chef. If they need the services of chef, the junior chefs can attend to them.”Salsa protested with the shaking of her head; it was obvious that she was lying and she had been restless because of Rod Benson.

    The wailing of the siren caught the attention of everyone at the villa and through the window, everyone peeped to behold the ambulance conveying my husband.I stood ghost-struck, chin soaked with tears , goose bumps ravaged my skin as I vehemently rejected the thought of Brian finally breathing his last; I couldn’t stop rejecting such thought because it had always been my undying desire to fulfill destiny together with my husband; to look into his eyes some day and remind each other we made it.Would such a day ever come or was I an ill-fated woman just as mom had assured me when she disowned me?”“Melissa,” Fanny called and gestured at the ambulance, “On your request we have decided to transfer Brian to another hospital. We hope this new doctor will perform better and help your husband wake from the coma.”When I stared around, I could see Kate smoking quietly by the pool side, Opula was submerged in the pool, and Eva was the only one standing by the ambulance to gaze upon Brian.

    “Opula is just impossible!” I intoned and clicked my fingers irritably, “How could she do such a thing? Rumor is going round that Rod is her ex, but that doesn’t mean she should sleep with him just so she could make me his wife …”Salsa’s gaze was still settled on my tea. I perceived a lot was going on in her mind and most especially about the reason I was yet to sip my tea. Indeed, she actually wanted to retain her job as chef at the Fanny villa and to accomplish it she had to fulfill the task of putting me to sleep for Opula and Kate. She poured a fresh tea for herself and earned a sip.“Now between me and Opula who is better? She is married and from a famous family. If her infidelity should escalate will she be able to deal with it? She is mad at me over a romance I called off a long time. We are even now. Nothing stops me from letting Ken know she cheated on him just recently.“It is baseless,” I said and gripped my cup and about to have a sip; my first sip. I could see the quietn

    “I made this fresh tea for us,” she said and handed me a cup before stirring hers, leaving heavy aroma of the natural herbs hanging over us.I shut my eyes to appreciate the unavoidable aroma of caramel which was too inviting; I guessed she took her time to fix this tea because of what she intended to achieve.I had noticed she often stole a glance at me each time she sipped at her cup; it was close monitoring and she expected me to drink up the tea right now so that she could hand me over to Opula and Kate for their evil intention.“There must be something unique about the tea, “I said and waited impatiently for the hotness to disappear while I blow at it, “The last one I had at the yacht party gave me a soothing sleep which I hadn’t had in a long time,” I said.“Oh really,” Salsa replied, lowered her gaze in suspicion and grinned briefly.
