Chapter 12: Visiting Callan Myers. Lisa had just finish her meal, she was clearing the tray when her door pushed open, she glanced up to see Leonard slipping through. “Yeah I should learn the habit of knocking.” He reprimanded softly, referencing to himself before coming in fully. Lisa casted an offensive glance, returning her attention to packing up. “Thanks for the hospitality.” Her voice penetrated the awful silence, sliding off her bed as she slipped back into her shoes. “Incase you need to change, I have some wears in that closet. They’re not for females, but would do for a casual appearance at home. You can freshen up and get more comfortable.” He indicated to his statement, hands pointing out in two direction, one at the door of the bathroom and the other at the closet. “Thank-“ her phone pinged, snatching her attention away from Leo. Her head fell to look into her phone, seeing it was a text from Steve. He was done digging and sent to her all the acquired details about h
Chapter 13: A Devilish Deal. At the verge of stepping into the house, Callan extend his arm into blocking Lisa’s body from coming in fully. “Exactly why should I trust the words coming from the wife of my nemesis?” He grilled, eyeing Lisa suspiciously with his brows furrowed. “Correction, Ex Wife because he cheated on me and we’re divorced.” Lisa answered, damn sure her response would yield him to succumb. He scoffed, not totally convinced. “Okay.” He pulled back his arm, letting her come in. “Just know, if this another scheme from you and your husband to destroy my already destroyed life. I’m not gonna let this go and will simply kill the both of you.” He sentenced his threat with seriousness, slamming his door close as he followed Lisa from behind, leading the both of them to his living room. “That is far off the reason why I’m here, and you should wait for some days. News are going to pick it sooner or later that I divorce Kurt Briggs.” She guaranteed her motive, taking a seat
Chapter 14: The Lie Is A Lie. She watched with anger, laced with an expression founded on hatred, watching him stood up. Her fury clouding how handsome he appeared to be, a different look to his usual clean and elegant appearance, he was all messy and disturbed. He looked up to her face, eyes capturing her glaring gaze as he stood up from where he sat, taking a step closer to her before Lisa raised up her index warningly. “Don’t you dare come any closer!” She cautioned, danger warming through her eyes. “And let me better assume you brought the divorce papers yourself, hand it over and see yourself out.” She addressed in a arid tone, her pointed finger pointing at the door to reference the last part of her statement. Kurt sighed halting on his steps, “I’m sorry but I won’t be divorcing you, Lisa.” He responded simply, sliding both of displayed palms into his pocket as he thinned his lips. “And I’m taking you back home.” He added, nodding his head to agree with his own statement. Li
Chapter 15: He Wants A Visit, Then He Gets It. Kurt wouldn’t believed his ears, Lisa sounded serious, ending her speech as she stalked upstairs, fading out of sight. He remained on the spot, lips parted, trying to convince himself that there’s still hope for him and her. He shouldn’t have lashed out on her said brother, he just couldn’t help it. At this point, he was a mess, a spiraling mess. All he wanted was just his wife, to be back in his arms, on his bed, sleeping with him, massaging his shoulders while he works from home. “I literally was going to help you with her, but my face went against with that decision.” Leo said as he struggled with getting up on his feet, groans falling out his mouth as he managed to move up fully. Kurt glanced at him, the look of regret still lingering over his expression. Perhaps he should have been patient, but if he hadn’t resort to violence. No one was going to tell him who he was to his wife, he had to know one way or the other. And with hi
Chapter 16: Physical Confrontation. Kurt arrived at the location sent to him in no time, parking his car in a safe distance as he strode on foot to the small building sitting amid the acres of field. He got to his porch, placing a knock on his door. “Yes?” His voice boomed from inside, followed by footsteps walking down and closer to the door. The door opened not long to reveal his face.The moment Kurt’s eyes settled on him, he grabbed him by his neck, shoving him deeper back into his house as he entered with him. “What are you doing messing with my wife? Huh?” Rage rushed through his veins, fueling his muscles as he pressed his hand harder on his neck, grooves lining up his forehead. Callan slapped on his hand, coughing out vigorously as he found his respiration restricted and Kurt’s attack unexpected. “What— what— are— you doing?” Within a struggling breaths, he managed to ask.“What the heck are you doing with my wife?” Kurt thundered once more, repeating himself and this ti
Chapter 17: Sure The News Is Fake. Lisa yawned with her limbs stretching out of the bed, she had just woken up from a quick nap and her head felt a little woozy. She sat up, rubbing her face to clear the blurriness off her vision. She was now dressed in a bathrobe, an house wear given to her by Leo. After Kurt left them, Leo came to her room to ask about her mental condition to all of these happening. Albeit, he was the one standing with a pummeled face and a roughened body, yet he looks out for her. Those actions of his kept drawing Lisa’s heart into accepting him. She had shut him out and told him she just needs to freshen up and get some rest. She went to the bathroom, and upon her return a newly torn robe from it packaging was laid neatly on the bed for her. Lisa knew it was his handiwork. She had plan to visit the doctor who gave her the false news of pregnancy after waking up, then Kurt’s mother to let her know about her choice to divorce his son and that the pregnancy th
Chapter 18: Delina Matthew? “Wha- What? What are you talking about?” He feigned utter confusion, brows pulling together with his lips sneering the befuddled line. “Why would you say such thing? I’m very sure you’re pregnant, there is no reason to why I will suddenly lie to you. And nobody is paying me.” He fend out an explanation, the perplexity remaining on his face. Contempt morphed beneath Lisa’s calm face, knowing very well Dr Martin was trying to cover up the exposed truth and still get away with it. She should have known that this was all a scheme, but done by who? Planned by who? Who was the mastermind? Those are some questions she hopes Dr Martin would have answers too. “You don’t need to lie, just tell me the truth and I promise not to hold it against you. Who paid you to fake a pregnancy test for me?” Lisa recited the question once again, making sure her voice remain calm to draw friendliness and seriousness to her words. “No one, nobody paid me to do anything. You’re
Chapter 19: Another Hectic News. Kurt rolled into panic, not much expressed on his face but widely displayed by his actions. He drummed repeatedly on his steering wheel as he had his phone over his ear, making a call that is yet to be picked.“Fucking pick up!” He snapped the moment the call ended and the individual never picked. He blew out a breath, flipping his eyes close to reopen them, the simple technique taking away his rage and panic as he suddenly appeared calm. He was about putting his phone die and continuing his journey back when the vibrated in his palm, ringing as the dialed contact seconds ago was now calling him back. He picked the call immediately, “Mr Briggs. I’m sorry for missing your calls, my phone wasn’t with me and I was taking a shower.” A male voice apologized on the phone. “Miss it one more time and I will give you a reason to hate me. What’s with that text you sent to me?” He shifted the topic to what’s crucial at the moment, really not about reprimandin
