SIX.6.
Too much French leave from work has left me with nothing but tons of work. The huge pile of files I saw on my table got me shrieking. Holy fuck! This is the real consequence of granting self-permission without the consent of your boss. I haven't been to work since mom's outburst, for four days. Now I have to work five times extra, the files are just too much. My boss is not even looking cheerful today, he's not even smiling, and he's probably mad at me. And still, he won't let me be every minute and the next found me going and coming out of his office with extra piles of cases to go through. He's thoroughly prepared and ready to punish me.It's past noon already and I haven't even gone through a quarter of the files on my desk. I've done just two and I'm freaking tired. The third file I opened was the case of a woman, filing a petition against her fifteen years old son just because he drove her Porsche car. ' Like what kind of case file is this? Do people have to file a case for everything? Can't they just settle their scores themselves and stop disturbing the peace of the law firms?' I mumbled. This is foolhardy and uncalled for. Why would a mother file a case against her son? This particular case made me feel sick and queasy. Immediately I left for the bathroom to puke. Those crazy case files and the tasteless crunchy pies I had this morning are enough to make me puke. I've practically been throwing up for a good four days now. Everything I smell and taste makes me feel nauseated. I flushed out the mess I brought out from my bowels, I stood there still staring into the sink lost in thoughts. What if I'm truly pregnant like Courtney said?Chris and I had sex once but we had it with protection, we used condoms and I remember vividly, that he forced me to take pills. We never did it raw and besides it was only once. So how could I…. Fuck! I seemed to forget that I had slept with another stranger, but I wasn't sure if he used protection. "Ahh!"I gasped. He had released inside me that night and I was so stupidly engrossed in the breakup episode that I forgot to take pills after I got to New York. Stupid! Stupid! I hit my head and winced, "Ow!" Now I'm throwing up and exhibiting the lackadaisical acts of pregnant moms when I have no idea of the child's paternity. I still don't want to believe I'm pregnant. To kill my curiosity, leaving the office tonight, I'll head straight to Dr. Carter's hospital for a pregnancy test, or better still I'll buy the kit. But on second thought, I don't know how to use the kit, I've never been pregnant before. And if I should consider going to Dr. Carter's place to have the test, he'll tell Mom and that would cause a Civil War VII in my house. Going to Courtney's place is the only option I have. Though she'll mock my ass out, she's the only one who can help me now. I left the bathroom in a stampede to Courtney's office but bumped into someone. I winced loudly when my forehead hit his hard chest. It's a guy because a woman's chest can be this hard. It's hard like a wall.I continued rubbing my forehead in pain. The strong cologne I perceived made my eyes go wide. I can identify that smell and the owner anywhere because only that person smells like that. I looked up to see someone I had never thought I'd ever come across, someone I never thought I would see so soon. The Vegas stranger-- He was in a mask and his green eyes shone brightly just like Lucas's. "Do you mind taking me to your boss?" He spoke softly. His voice pierced through me just like the first time. He snapped his fingers to my face and that's when I realized that I'd been staring at him mouth agape.I wasn't drooling this time, I was partially happy, angry, and surprised. Happy that I saw a cutie, angry that he was the stranger and he took advantage of me, and surprised that he was standing right in front of me in flesh and blood in New York. I led him to my boss anyway. I sat down, slowly assimilating the unsudden presence of this Vegas stranger in my workplace. I resisted the pressing urge to go over to Courtney's office but decided to wait till the day was over. I wouldn't waste time telling her everything. The Vegas stranger in New York looks like Lucas. I kept thinking when the queasiness started again and 'urgh, argh!' I vomited again.LUCAS POV. I stared into my phone, reading a message that just popped in when someone bumped into me, probably not looking. I looked down to see who it was and surprisingly, it was my brunette, her head collided with my chest and she winced. She looked shocked when she saw me. Maybe she recognized me, I don't know but she didn't say a word. She only stared at me with my mouth open with confused emotions, confusing my thoughts. "Do you mind taking me to your boss?" I asked boldly but my voice was muffled because of the mask I had on. Only when I spoke did she close up her mouth, she was already looking like a fish. She directed me to her boss's office looking lost. I noticed her uneasiness and forlorn looks. I stared at her from a distance wondering, something isn't just right with her. My naive brunette. I was with Fredrick, her boss but I wasn't concentrating, my mind continued to waver and drift in her direction. I can't help but think about her curviness, undressing her, and taking her down in my head. The mere thought of her naked body made my dick twitch. I'm hungry for sex and thirsty for her cums. This is the first time I've ever craved a woman this much, but I know it's nothing but just mere lust. I was getting impatient with Fredrick's boring and long talks. I just wanted to get out of the office and see the naive pretty brunette. I never knew she worked with him but now that I know, I'll flock to New York every day. Fredrick had invited me over to discuss issues about his office. He's seeking sponsorship and needs my assistance. I wasn't going to turn him down, if not for anything but for his pretty secretary. Well, I don't know her name yet but I'll ask Fredrick later. With reflex, I flew out of my seat immediately after Fredrick ended his speech. To be honest I heard nothing except the last thing he said, thank you, Lucas.' My attention wasn't on him. I asked for his secretary's name, "Krystal Wallace that's her name, she's my secretary, a very good one at that. '' He said with a smile. Blabbermouth, I only asked for her name and not her position. I'm not dumb to see that she's sitting in an adjoining room with him to know that she's a secretary.I sauntered towards her, and my heart and dick leaped in ecstasy. "Hey Krystal! It's nice seeing you again." I spoke now, I had removed my mask and her eyes flickered in royal confusion, I guess she just figured out who I was. "Hi!" She replied dolefully with that sweet voice of hers.I made to sit but caught a glimpse of Fredrick coming out. I wouldn't want him to entertain stupid thoughts, so I hastened. "Hey Krystal? Let's meet somewhere else if this is okay with you," I requested humbly and quickly. "I…. I don't….." She floundered nervously. As an important man, I couldn't wait for her to approve or accept the date, so I dropped a reservation card on her desk. "Meet me at the restaurant tomorrow evening, a date won't hurt. I'll be expecting you." I said blithely but expectantly before leaving. I left before she could object. I'll just suspend my journey till next weekend. Now I still have to put up with Mom and her'Go get a wife Lucas' palaver till the weekend because of my brunette.How I revolved to call her my brunette is still a little bit of a mystery to me. I never addressed a woman as mine before but her. She's all my first except for the sexing aspect. Well I'm not planning to keep her or marry her, I'm just planning to have her again and again and make her my slut. My pretty brunette.THIRTY SIX. 36. YOLANDA. My curiosity keeps growing and it makes me restless. Every day, I keep having the urge to go into Dalton's closet and just rummage maybe I could find something meaningful. I kept having this lingering in my soul that Anne was putting Dalton up for all of this. She is trying to manipulate him. I finally gave in to my curiosity and restlessness and I walked towards Dalton's closet. I yanked the door and luckily it opened. It wasn't locked. He always locked it. I made a mockery sign of the cross before stepping into the closet and locked the door from the inside. I have a deep sigh. I started my search from the drawers to the wardrobe and even under the cupboards. I was rummaging and seriously searching like I was searching for life but then I found nothing. I grew frustrated. I turned to stare at everything to know where I hadn't checked and then my eyes landed on the fluffy rug lying in the middle of the room. I raised it and fuck! Pape
THIRTY- FIVE. 35.CHRIS X COURTNEY. But why would Krystal hide the truth from Chris? Why didn't she tell him what she knew? Who knows if telling Chris would have helped us? He could have. And the young man needed to save his dad. But wait why am I being so pitiful towards Chris? This is someone I hate with everything in me. Well, maybe it's because it's related to Krytsal's Mom.I know that Krystal is only having a good daughter instinct and her pregnancy hormones are in action. That's why she didn't divulge anything about her mom. Even when she knew that this was what we wanted, to gather an ally against her mom. Now I don't know how we are going to achieve this if Krystal wasn't ready to speak up. And Lucas isn't in New York currently he would have known what to do about this. I was still thinking about all of this when Chris walked into my office. Chris. What the fuck is he doing here? I was expressing some pity towards his case doesn't mean we are cool. H
THIRTY FOUR. 34.Chris and Krystal. "I don't know what has brought you here Chris but whatever it is you have to say it quickly and leave." "Last time I checked, I haven't come to see you. I came to see Krystal. " "You are not welcome dude, you could get the fuck out, " Courteney yelled and spoke rudely at Chris while I just sit and watch the drama ensuing between the both of them. They've never liked each other not for the tiniest bit. They are always on each other's necks and ready to devour each other. Their screams were becoming a pollution to my ears and I had to cut them short. "Can the both of you shut the fuck up? Courtney, it's ok I would handle Chris myself. " I said and winked at her. "Chris, what is it that you want? Why are you here? " I asked. When I saw him coming in, I was stupefied. A bitter gut feeling rose from within me. Why has Chris come to look for me and how did he know I was here at Courtney's home? The last time I saw Chris was the night
THIRTY THREE. YOLANDA X CHRIS. The thought of Dalton's sudden lugubrious and pathetic behavior weighed heavily on my mind and continued to bother me regardless. I have never thought Dalton to be so peevish and act so impishly like a child. He just stopped being a man. He stopped being a man and that troubles my heart and ignites my curiosity. I want to know and I have to know what exactly is up and wrong with Dalton, what his connection and business with Anne Wallace was because I believe she might be behind Dalton's unexplainable behavior of late. It isn't funny. I was so lost in my train of thought that I didn't know when Chris walked in and sat close to me. Not until he tapped me did I come out of my reverie. "Are you ok, Mom? " He asked, hugging me tightly and passionately. He released from the hug to look me in the eyes. I couldn't answer his question, I only nodded my head. "So you asked me to come over, hope there isn't any problem?" Chris asked again. This
Thirty- Two. "Where the hell are you coming from, Lucas? " Mom's question stopped me abruptly. I wasn't expecting her or anyone to see me. I stood still not knowing what to reply to her with, I mean c'mon I can't bring myself to tell her that I went out to fuck some bitches. I decided to ignore her question and walk past her but that I knew would be very impossible. "I am talking to you, Lucas. I ain't talking to a ghost. Where the hell are you coming from? " she asked loudly this time, as she walked out of the dining area into the light to where I was standing. "I went out with Nick, " I replied nonchalantly. "Yeah. You went out with Nick to a club, " she said and I raised my brows in defense. She cut me shut before I could speak. "Shush! You reek of alcohol and scents of different ladies. That's how I knew you went to a club, baby. " I sniffed myself as she spoke and truly, I reeked of alcohol. "You have a wife, a pregnant wife and yet you keep flir
Thirty-One. 31. I don't know why I have this great urge to just help Krystal. Every single step and day with her makes me want to help and get involved with her even more. She has been through a lot lately and she is pretty stressed. All these betrothal things and fighting against her mom have drained her coupled with the fact that she's pregnant. I just hope there won't be any complications resulting from the stress she has been through. I stared at her sleeping face as she lay on my lap. She's too innocent for all of the happenings in her life right now. She is too gullible even though she tries to act tough. I couldn't help but wonder why her mother or better still a mother would do terrible things to her family all for money and fame's sake. Deriving her daughter of peace and happiness, conniving to kill her husband, and blackmailing people because of authority and power. The little information I have gathered about Anne Wallace shows that she is a b
