I gave a half smile as I kept aside three CD plates having images and soundtracks of Brian. When I fondled further into the cupboard I could find a sizable diary, which had Brian’s name scribbled on it. Upon seeing the diary, I was puzzled and took it out“Welcome To My… Little Secret…”I read the first note on the dairy, and raised a brow when I flipped through pages to realize the uncountable secret he had written down.I am Scribbling down these little secrets in explicit sentences;“If I don’t win the Best Music Award I may lose my sanity. I better win,” I read another note and swallowed hard as I read that particular secret repeatedly, as though I was daring to extract more messages than it had.I blinked anxiously, murmuring, “Music must have made him mad. Oh my God! Why?” I felt pity for him for the first time as I touched my heart to read yet further:“I was robbed of the award. I am supposed to win. I win and will always win. If I don’t win, I will kill. I will kill somebody
Brian, I and his father were the only ones at the dinner. I was perplexed, yet confused to think that the dinner was meant for the three of us alone. But it was. My stare couldn’t stop combing around for the rest of the Fanny’s.I expected to have Opula, Kate and Eva at dinner too, but my expectations were disappointed. From the looks on their faces, I could tell the girls were jealous and angry. I wondered what could have made the billionaire host such a quarrelsome dinner.Fanny gave a lop-sided grin. “I can see your good work on Brian,” Fanny said, smiling and pouring his wine, “He looks fresher and cool now. Thank you very much Melissa,” he added warmly, and smiled at Brain without getting his compliment.Brain was playing with his strawberries, as he threw them away. I threw a glance at him, held his hands before removing the strawberry from him, hoping to feed him.“Thank you very much, Sir. I just feel Brian has a right to life and good things just like us,” I said and forced a
“The next question he asked me was about my virginity. Damn! I was embarrassed,” I complained to Salsa as we sat at the edge of the garden, cutting the flowers and weeding off.She snorted, and gazed upon me with her pitiable porcine face, “You don’t need to worry yourself,” she whispered, glaring around to see if anyone was at earshot, “I overheard Opula tell Doctor Newman to ask you questions about your virginity,” she whispered and glared around.“What!” I exclaimed nosily and Salsa gestured at me to keep my voice down, “But what do they need my virginity status for? What insolence! These girls are impossible,” I mumbled at earshot.“You must understand that these girls are up to ruin,” she whispered, still glaring around, “All they do is spend their father’s money lavishly and live life to the fullest. Their husbands are a bunch of weaklings and live-in husbands that don’t have a say because they married the girls because of Fanny’s wealth. They are so vulgar and annoying.” She sh
Ken didn’t give up on her; he pounced on her like a cat and in retaliation, she turned around and gave him her backside. Ken directed his penis into her vagina and started slapping into her from the backside.She grinned her face and bit her lower lips…Salsa clenched her hands on the sofa to gain support as Ken rammed into her. She was almost moaning loudly when she brought her hands on her mouth and gagged it back. Ken shut his eyes, leaned forward to squeeze her breasts as he pounded her without mercy. They fought back a moan and the only noise that hung over her chamber was the slap-slap sound of his penis ramming into her big buttocks.I couldn’t believe my eyes as I stared with reserved keenness.Ken lasted for a very long time and I could see sweet-painful looks on the face of Salsa. She sweated profusely on her face and bit her lower lips in ecstasy. Soon his body vibrated and shook heavily as he cummed on her, holding her buttocks firmly.Salsa fell on the sofa as soon as he
Anytime I beheld Brian, especially from my inner chamber, I often had pity for him, because of the circumstances surrounding his madness. Although I wanted the marriage to elapse so that we could divorce, and I would be set free yet I wondered how such an innocent-looking boy lost his sanity chasing passion. Regrettably, he may not regain his sanity and even if he did he may not be at his prime anymore.Never in my entire life have I seen a man so cute and innocent. Indeed, he had a good heart and wanted the best for himself; none of us should face ruin and spoil chasing passion. It wasn’t worth it.Having known the issues bordering on his madness, I inwardly decided to add meaning to his life if only he wouldn’t be violent to me. It was a personal decision which suddenly jumped into my mind, and I prayed I would make him a better person than he was when I met him.These days I was fond of listening to his music and learning his lyrics, also I found the large picture frames of his lat
“No! No! Please! Don’t do that! No,” I pled at the tops of my voice, went on my knees and molded my hands begging and beckoning on him not to drink his urine.This was gross and I couldn’t imagine anyone do that let alone somebody under my care. I had suddenly forgotten this cute man standing before me had lost his sanity and all that mattered to me at the time was stopping right there from taking that poison.He grinned at me each time I stepped forward in his direction. But as soon as I paused, he would laugh and dare to drink from it…“Don’t do that! Brian! Please! It is not palatable for your health! Please!”He would stop only when I must have yelled.I was thinking faster than my thought; I would have to pull a stunt to avert this from happening. I had prepared for such fate but certainly not to this extent;I broke down in tears. Certainly he was going to drink his own urine. My ranting wasn’t going to stop him. What did he know after all except the display of madness?An idea
“Please Brian! Don’t do it! Brian; please! Oh Brian!”The innumerable voices echoed into my ears and I sprang from my chamber. Initially I thought it was a dream. The murmuring had sounded too intense that reality flashed before my eyes only to wake to this horrible scene.Lo and behold everyone was standing still at the door, begging Brian who was having an automatic pistol in his hand.“What! Oh my God! Oh gosh! No! How come!” I exclaimed, gagged my mouth with my hands, stuck at the wall and almost pee on myself. My entire body had started fidgety at this time and I could feel the balls of sweat pelt on my brow and nose.The billionaire father was on his knees, pleading and begging out his eyes and voice for Brian to drop the gun. I wondered how long he had been weeping that made his cloth to become so wet with his tears that wouldn’t stop trickling.Opula was already all tears. She was also on her knees but somewhere behind her father; just a way of being cautious so that should Br
The police officer stole a glance at Fanny and replied, “We don’t want to lose our lives also, billionaire. Your son is armed. For the records, it is an automatic pistol, Sir. We just gave you the best option to disarm him since he has lost his sanity,”My heart shook within me and I could see the vanity of life flash in my eyes as I saw the police about to pull back the trigger. I wondered what could become of my husband if that bullet should take off; I was at the crossroads right now; not knowing the next step to take.The Fanny’s and the party of police had started arguing rapidly about what action to take.In the heat of the argument, I broke down in tears let loose, shut my eyes and started singing his lyrics in a voice most alluring to any audience:My heart melts whenever you grip meAnd I suddenly realize I am immortal.When I lock eyes with youCan we kiss till the sun goes by?May this love never say goodbye!I sang it repeatedly, letting out the best voice from my lungs.E
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. A whole lot was pacing through her mind right now and she wished she could escape from this snare of betraying the only friend she had in the vill
Salsa was sobbing in her chamber and didn’t realize I was standing at the door and it was more careless of her that she left her door open while she sobbed and murmured within herself.“Oh Ken you have finished me. I told you but you wouldn’t listen. Behold now I am being implicated in dirty romance that will lead me to ruin. How do I save my mom who is dying at the hospital…”By some sort of smartness, Salsa perceived my presence and flinched when she stared around to see me stand at the door. “How long have you been around?” she asked with so much suspicion decking her eyes.I walked in, “What is troubling you, Salsa? I don’t see much of you these days and right about now I just heard you murmur about Ken putting you in trouble. What trouble is that? Some minutes again I overheard some quarrelsome voices at Opula’s chamber.”“You did?” she snorted and lowered her gaze, “Come and have a seat, Melissa. I need to confine in you about my life.”I settled my gaze on her and this chef had
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
