EPHRAIM’S POVI had been having s*x with my personal assistant for as long as I can remember but we have never been caught. I wonder how we were caught this time. Was she informed? Or was it my own stupidity? I decided not to do it in the house because she might come around unannounced and catch me in the act. I should have just stayed in the office and do what I wanted. Now, what do I do? I just realized how much I loved her and I can’t afford to lose her. I didn’t know what to do.I looked at the wounded girl on the other side and took pity on her, she just had a minor bleeding from a tear on her face where Becky’s blows had landed. Now, I would have no choice but to fire her; she was sweet though.“What are we going to do next?” she asked.I smiled. “We? You mean we? As in me and you?”She looked at me with confusion written all over her face and she cocked her head to the left side.“Yes, obviously, don’t you want your girlfriend back? I fear her; don’t know what she might do lat
BECKY’S POVThis was the second most terrifying day of my life, coming after the day I lost my dad. The driver dropped me in front of the door and drove to the garage to park the car. I dragged myself into the house before the workers would asking me what was wrong with me.“Ma’am, what happened to your eyes? Were you crying?” One of the workers coming from inside the house asked me.“None of your business.” I answered and rushed inside the room.I saw Tyler arranging a stack of books on the dining room, he stared at me and his jaws dropped when he saw me. I rushed upstairs and bolted the door of my room; I wasn’t ready for any unnecessary conversation.Few moments later, I heard soft knocks on the door. I knew it was going to be no other person than Tyler.“Uhmmm… Hi, what’s going on with you?”“Leave me alone.”“Calm down, I just want to talk. I know you don’t really like me; but it is still my duty as your husband to make sure you’re okay.”And that was where I lost the remaining pa
I drove into the hotel’s parking lot and tossed my key to the valet driver, I went in and booked a room giving specific instructions to the receptionist that I didn’t want to be disturbed. I was shown to my room and I checked in.Some hours later, I had gotten over the sadness and tears but the anger in me was still very much boiling and I just needed a cool drink to ease my blood pressure. I picked up the phone and dialed room service.“Why is the refrigerator here empty?”“Because you didn’t make an earlier reservation, we would have stocked it beforehand but you didn’t. Which drink would you like ma?”“Are you serious? What do you mean I didn’t make a reservation beforehand?”“Ma’am that is the hotel’s policy. We can’t just stock an empty hotel room. I’ll send someone to bring a basket of exquisite drinks to your suite. Please bear with us a couple of minutes.” The call dropped and I was enraged even further.I was just wearing my underwear and I put on something on top when I hear
BECKY’S POVThis bartender was surely joking. Does he know who I am? Surely, this people joked with their jobs and I wouldn’t want to fire this one unnecessarily. I spoke in a low tone with a naughty smile playing across my face.“Hey, I’m going to give you some money. Can we sort this out?” I offered.“No amount of money will buy my conscience.” He said defiantly.I smiled and tried again. “I can pay you twenty times your salary right now.” I was ready to do that, wanted to show him who’s boss.He smiled and answered. “No darling, thanks… my work is enough. Now, if you don’t mind, there are other people that probably need non – alcoholic drinks at this hour. Excuse me.”He placed a cup of coca cola with ice blocks in it in front of me. Now, it was no longer funny; I was getting infuriated.I looked at my watch and realized I was angry already. I spun the chair a hundred and eighty degrees to see the people seated in the bar; no one had come to the table, I would have been noticed.I c
BECKY’S POVMy mind went on a flashback to when I received a short video from an anonymous number stating that my father was alive. I reached for my phone inside my bag and quickly opened my messages section searching for the video. I remembered I had not paid much attention to the video and I started searching; my eyes scanning for something different amidst the different rows of numbers and their messages.I finally found it and I opened it, playing the video with the sound. The sound was just that of the city and it showed the car pulling up to the same spot I had seen it now. It was a coffee shop. The door opened and one man came out in a regular three piece suit, as my dad always dressed. It was not too recognizable. Then I realized, I didn’t finish the video on that day and I didn’t bother to check back. I looked at the number and realized the sender masked the number; it was something the cyber security guys would take care of; but not today.I made to come down from the spot
BECKY’S POVThe taxi driver followed the red vehicle to a guest house situated just at the outskirts of the city. The gate opened to reveal a magnificent, state-of-the-art hotel with massive, marble walls.The driver pulled into the parking lot a few rows behind the trailed vehicle. I needed to follow him discreetly, thank God I came with my heavy shades and I just fixed my hair over the weekend.I looked over to the meter reading at the other edge of the taxi. A hundred and thirty nine dollars; that was a whole lot cheaper than the cup of martini I downed some minutes ago. Intentionally, I asked again.“How much is my bill?”“According to the meter, a hundred and thirty dollars.”“Do you want me to give you a hundred and thirty dollars? Or would you do more work and I pay you ten times your fare. No hassle.”“As long as it helps the country.” He was feeling very patriotic. I hope God would forgive me for using this man like this.I looked at him, he was moderately dressed and he could
BECKY’S POVI didn’t know if I should be shocked or surprised. I felt a sudden jolt of electricity sweep through me. No, this isn’t happening to me. Today must be a day of surprises. First, Mr. Humph, and then Tyler. There must be something happening in the universe today. I felt more curious to know the estate event that was being talked about. I had not been invited to any event.The event started with the master of ceremony coming out and introducing guests. I couldn’t take my eyes off the two things I have seen today. Tyler must have been very careless with the company’s card, going around getting himself expensive sport cars, watches and shirts without even my consent.Then the master of ceremony introduced the main aim of the event and it happened to be an auction. Tyler; at an auction? He is surely going too far with my money.Different estates and products were called and people bought. Then, the auctioneer went.“Now, to the big jewel, at the heart of the city, housing over t
BECKY’S POVTyleratte Brooke. The name kept ringing in my head as I drove home. I couldn’t piece all the clues together to give me a meaningful picture. First, my dad's PA, with my dad's favorite car, and now, Tyler is a billionaire. Not just a billionaire, the top youngest billionaire in the country.I got home late in the night due to the traffic only to meet Tyler at home in his normal, usual state. He was wearing the sleeveless shirt he wore when I left for work in the morning. His hair didn’t look so sleek like what I saw earlier today.I opened the door and stood at the doorway, staring at me with confusion written all over my face. He was addressing one of the maids so he didn’t notice my presence until the maid in question greeted me.“Good evening. Welcome back ma’am”“Out! Get out!”Both Tyler and the maid looked at me with confusion in their eyes. I don’t really care; I was confused and I needed some answers, a lot of answers and I was ready to get it politely or by brute f
