“Would you strip or not?” The woman asked with an arrogant grin, but Emily didn’t bat even an eyelid.“Good. Bring the gun”, the woman ordered as she walked around the room in circles.She had no other time to waste tonight. There was a big means for her to make money, and she wasn’t going to let it slid away from her.The gun was brought to her almost immediately, and the moment she cocked it, Emily raised her head abruptly.“Please”, Emily pleaded again, but kept quiet when she realized that her pleas fell on deaf ears.“You shouldn’t have been here to save your boss. You only complicated things for yourself”, she said to Emily and pointed the gun to her head.Emily took in a deep breath and allowed her tears to flow out of her eyes without any restraints.“Fine! I would remove it”, Emily surrendered and stood to her feet.She took off her dress and as she stood naked, the woman’s eyes glittered in admiration.Emily felt worse because the eyes of two other strange men were on her as
Emily was the first to wake up. She jerked up the moment she realized that the ceiling looked different from the one in Richard’s mansion.And then, the next thing she saw made her jaws drop in surprise. She was naked and so was Richard.“Oh my God!” She yelped and held her head that was banging furiously.All efforts to recall what transpired last night proved abortive, and the more she tried to think, the more her head ached.“Richard!” Emily tapped him until he swirled around and eventually woke up. Richard opened his eyes and glanced around, taking in the new environment and wondering how he got there.He caught sight of Emily and for a minute, his heart got relaxed. However, that didn’t last for long because he remembered that he never left the house with Emily.“Emily? What are you doing here?” He hurriedly sat up and looked around.His eyes popped out of his socket when he observed that she wasn’t putting on any clothes, and neither was he.“Richard, what is going on?” Emily
Richard got home first and walked into the house. He needed to take a pain reliever because the pain he felt on his head was beginning to get worse.“I see that you are back from your adventure!” He heard Barbara’s voice the moment he walked into the kitchen.He ignored her and took a bottled water, after which he stormed into his room.Barbara sauntered behind him, trying so hard to decipher why he looked like someone who is extremely sick.“Are you sick?” Barbara asked, peeking into the room and watching him gulp down a pill.“Why do you care?” Richard asked and shot Barbara a suspicious glare.“Barbara, where were you last night?” He questioned and stood to his feet.Barbara scrunched her brows confused as she tried to ascertain why he suddenly asked such.“I was home! And where were you?” She asked, peering piercingly into his furious eyes.“You weren’t home and neither was your maid! Where is she now?” Barbara yelled out of her lungs while Richard retreated to the bed.He held hi
Barbara walked out of the house, boiling in rage and wondering how it was possible for a quiet and naive maid to suddenly become so blunt and wild.“I would teach you a lesson, I promise you that!” Barbara swore under her breath as she revved up the engine and drove out of the house.She had a meeting with a strange person and that seemed to be a significant one that was difficult to ignore.The person sounded very urgent, and all Barbara could think of was it being a business deal.She chuckled when she thought of that. Recently, Richard and her had been trending on the news and internet and as such, it wasn’t really alarming to get calls for modeling deals.Barbara walked into a mini restaurant that had few people around. She glanced at the address on her phone and nodded her head in confirmation. She was at the right place.She placed her sunglasses over her eyes and walked into the building, ignoring the gazes of the few people around. Barbara was certain that they were talking
“What the hell is this?” Barbara asked as she threw a sharp glare at the woman, who was now laughing softly.“This is not funny. What the hell is this?” Barbara asked, increasing the tone of her voice.The woman leaned closer to her and with a voice that sounded like a whisper, she said, “That is your husband, having sex with your maid!”Barbara gasped as she lowered her eyes downward. Her eyes were burning in rage as she glared at the woman, who didn’t seem concerned about how she felt.“Your husband is the brand, and we are going to work for it”, the woman announced and started laughing aloud.Barbara picked up the glass of wine that laid on the table and gulped all of its contents down. She was suddenly feeling hot, even though the weather was cold.“Emily!” She gritted under her teeth and slammed her fist on the table.Ever since she got married to Richard, she always tried to avoid such blackmail from people. At this, she took note of every person she went out with, as well as th
“I understand that Barbara is always angry. But then, I think something is wrong this time”, Emily said after she recovered from the little show of Barbara’s aggression.Richard nodded his head in affirmation and returned his gaze to Emily.“I would go find out what this is about”, he placed a kiss on her lips and scurried out of the kitchen. His eyes fell on the series of broken vase by the hallway and this heightened his interest in the situation that may have caused it.“Barbara!” He called out, taking slow steps towards her room and trying so hard to curtail the anger that was beginning to brew inside of him.He hated it when she destroyed things as though they didn’t matter. Of course, he had the money, but that wasn’t a basis for her to damage things whenever she wished to.“Barbara! How many times do I have to tell you never to break things in my house? You can do that in your lover’s place!” Richard barked angrily as he barged into her room.He found Barbara laying on the bed
The phone fell out of Richard’s hands the moment his eyes took note of what it carried.“What is this?” He questioned, with a shaky breath.The video was clear and very explicit. It showcased Emily on top of him while he laid flat on the bed, naked.“This is manipulated! I know it is”, Richard sighed and dug his hands into his head.Barbara hissed aloud and stood to her feet. She walked closer to him and stopped only when she was a foot away.“I got a call. When I went there, they showed that to me and moments later, I received it on my phone. It is real Richard and there are people out there who wouldn’t stop until you are down. I mean, until we are down”, Barbara chimed out and paced around the room.She was confused, but Richard was clearly in the worst case of confusion.He had woken up to see Emily beside him in a strange room. And now, he saw a video of he and Emily? It was totally ridiculous!“This is dead serious Richard. I have always wanted to avoid this and that is why I re
“Everything is your fault, Richard, can’t you see?” Barbara asked and walked towards him again.“You are opening up to the enemy, and you are too blind to realize that. Stop being foolish and open that damn eyes of yours”, Barbara said and slapped him hard on the shoulder.“Emily is not the problem here. Something happened, and I’m very sure of it”, Richard said as he drifted off in thoughts.He recalled that he wanted to leave, but a lady stood in his way.“There was a lady who stopped me from leaving. I’m very confident that she was the person behind all of these”, Richard mouthed out as regret flushed through him.First, he regretted calling Mike and asking him to suggest a cool place for him.And next, he wished he never entered that place.“This is my fault”, Richard muttered, digging his hands into his head.“It is your fault and also, that of the maid. Have you ever asked yourself what she may be up to in your life?” Barbara asked and threw a cold gaze at him.Richard hissed al
