Chapter 2: A Shocking News.
Silence rushed between them, both staring at each other with ghost eyes morphed widely on their expression trying to understand the situation better and deeper.“Turns out I’m not the only one cheating.” Kurt quoted, making sure his tone was sarcastic while his eyes never left her face.Lisa scoffed, forced to shifting her gaze as she rolled her eyes before settling them back on him. “Cheating?” She scoffed once again, her brows furrowing into disbelief.“Are you for real? Or you’re really saying that to me?” Lisa questioned, utterly stunned by the accusation.He is the first man she ever fell in love with and she regretted it, she wish she could take it back.“Then care to explain to me how you became pregnant, I don’t remember the two of us ever having sex.” Kurt tried to reason, sounding less offensive than he sounded when he called her out.Lisa scoffed at his words, tears beginning to soak her sockets wetting her lashes as it threatened to let out liquid. “I don’t know, I have no idea. That’s the good news I got early this morning that I could not wait to share with your stupid ass only to see that you’re not worth it!” Lisa screamed out the last sentence of her response, pain visibly displayed on her face as she raised her index pointing at his face.Kurt moved back a little, appearing confused still, he’s very sure that he had nothing to do with Lisa intimately throughout their years together. He wanted it special and not rushed was why never made attempt.“Lisa how can you not know? Does that make any sense to you at all? You’re pregnant and you have no idea how the pregnancy arrives, and how are we even sure that I’m the owner of this pregnancy when you don’t even know how it happened?” Kurt was being logical, and he was right.Lisa couldn’t help but question herself on how it happened, but she had no one and was sure the pregnancy was Kurt’s because he is her husband, apart from that there’s no explanation for how she got the pregnancy.Perhaps they got intimate on a drunken night that didn’t stuck in their memories, Lisa had no one except for Kurt so there is no way he’s not the owner of the little life growing inside of her.“All I know is I’m pregnant, and you can think whatever you want to think but you’re the father and no one else. You should think about the part where you’re literally the only one left in my pathetic life and now I have no one thanks to your false loyalty. Fuck you Kurt and I hope you rot in hell!” With that spoken she turned around walking fully out of his presence.Kurt stood still on the spot trying to process the strange news. How could she be pregnant, is it possible she’s having an affair outside their marriage and she’s hiding it with her sweet love and kisses, her perfect display of affection.Kurt was heartbroken that she left him, but still in denial about the pregnancy. He hadn’t gotten to the stage where they’ve both consummated their marriage yet.Things just started sailing smooth for the both of them since they got together. Lisa has always loved him from the very first day he placed a ring on her finger and she did same.But it was different for him, he wanted to explore not commit at his early age. He hated Lisa, because she was a result of her mother’s pressure on him to marry.Kurt was still juggling through his thought when he felt a present behind, not long two hands palmed on his shoulder giving a slow massage down to his chest before a body pressed with his from the back.Kurt pulled away immediately turning to the back to face the girl he allegedly cheated on Lisa with, because he’s certain he had nothing to do with this lady. She was nothing but a coworker and never a fling.She’s his secretary and they were together throughout yesterday because both worked on a project that came out successfully, they decided to celebrate the little success and that was when they had wines brought in for them.That was all he remembered, he doesn’t remember himself getting naked with her at all. Or the both even going up to his bedroom.“Did I not satisfy you enough yesterday? I’m willing to try again this morning if you don’t mind.” She bit on her lower lip seductively, her leg stretching out as she took a step forward.She had dressed herself into a towel and nothing more.“What happened between us yesterday, Rhea?”Kurt seemed pretty unfazed by her slutty moves, keeping his expression plain and gaze boring at her.She was hinged to stop making gestures. “Well if you must know, it was a pretty long night. You met my expectations and I was surprised. You took me to places I did not dream of myself getting to. Ohhh Kurt, you literally gave me the best night of my life and-““Shut the fuck up!” Kurt’s loud snap with his voice broke through her not so subtle experience with him.Kurt’s expression had changed, becoming threatening with his brows squeezed and lips parting slightly releasing silent yet audible breaths.A look of fear flashed through the Rhea lady’s face before it got replaced with a smile. “You shouldn’t get upset for something you enjoyed really, I literally try to stop you didn’t I but you begged me into it, you were practically begging with watery eyes. This is all your fault not mine, or have you really forgotten? I don’t have to remind you right? Cause you and I know how perfect I am in getting into details.” Rhea winked at him, turning around about to depart the scene when Kurt stopped her with a call.“What happened between us last night? This is the fucking last time I’m going to ask!” He sounded grounded, his tone solid matching his peeved face.“Get the hint dumbhead, we had great sex. You fucked me good with your big, long, and satisfying dick. It was the best experience letting you pound deeply into my tight hole. I really don’t wanna get into details but you’re leaving me no choice, that is what happened between us last night, Big Boy.” Rhea shrugged during her response, not caring about the reaction her response could obtain.“Get out of my house this instant!” Kurt pointed towards the exit.“Why-““I said get out bitch!” He yelled out loud motivated by anger that displayed wildly on his features.“I have only on me a towel-““I don’t fucking care and the least you want is me throwing you out, because I can assure you I won’t be gentle and non violent.” His eyes closed for a brief second showing how dead serious he was.“I know who your wife is cheating on you with, I know the owner of the pregnancy in her. She doesn’t want to tell you, but I will tell you.” Rhea said quickly, gaining the positive reaction she wanted from him as soon as he heard that.Chapter 3: A Twisted Lie? Lisa stormed out of his mansion, one hand clinging to the arm of her handbag while the other laid on her face stopping the tears storming her vision from wetting her cheeks. She arrived inside her car, throwing the bag to the seat beside her as she clasped her palms against the wheel while giving in to her sadness. She bit on her lower lips with her eyes reeling close dwelling in the pain hurting her emotionally. She really doesn’t deserve this, after everything she’s been through, an heartbreak shouldn’t have added to the list. Why did this have to happen to her again? She really thought she had gotten her happy ending didn’t she? Not knowing it was a dream she took long before waking up from. Kurt was never going to give her that and she should have known before signing her life up in love with him. “Fuck you Kurt! Fuck you!” She vented out loud while slapping the wheel repeatedly with tears tumbling down her cheeks. “I fucking hate you!” She kept
Chapter 4: Unwanted Proofs.Driven by curiosity, Kurt had lay back his decision to throw her out and wanting to hear what she has to say. She had mentioned about knowing who Lisa cheated on him with, would be fair for him to know the person was at least. Henceforth, the given chance to spill. “Who owns her pregnancy?” Kurt questioned, acquiring a stagnant pose with his arms crossing over his chest. “You know when I first found out, I was so shock-““Go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush. Who got her pregnant? Either you say the name or get the fuck out.” He censured in a stern voice, his facial housing an unfriendly expression. “Alright. Callan Myers. Your business rival.” She told him. Kurt knitted his brows, a bit awed by the name mentioned to him but quickly masking it with a blank expression. “You said you have proofs, where are your proofs? You just don’t expect me believing my wife truly has anything to do with that Lucifer unless your claim is heavily
Chapter 5: Face From The Past. Lisa was still in shock with her lips parted in a wide gasp when the room door bursted open, the least unexpected person sauntering through the door. “Kurt!” Her voice deepened with disgust as she called his name. Kurt who just came in ignore the strange eyes present in the room and went straight to his wife, “I came as soon as I heard. How did this happen?-““Get out Kurt!” She shunned at him, tone rolling out her irritation as she cast him a repulsive glance. He halted on his tracks, inches away from where Lisa laid on the bed. “I think this is our cue to excuse them.” A man whispered out from behind to another to passed on the information. At once they turned around, departing from the scene and leaving Kurt alone with his wife except for Leo who was still present. He was originally the one who passed out the sentence to excuse the room. He went to the bed, “Here are your things, the ones I picked earlier from your car.” He told her before drop
Chapter 6: An Anonymous Call. Lisa halted on her walking tracks, his recent words repeating all over in her brain at a dingy solo sound. If she heard correctly, he just claimed to be her brother and to have been searching for her for quite the year. She turned around, her paled expression coming to face him to see the seriousness gashing his face. He was serious with his claim. “What are you talking about?” She asked, still believing she heard wrong of what the strange man who saved her mentioned. There was no way he was being serious, how could she have a brother. She was the last and the only survivor of The Carter family, where did he come from, he must be joking. “We should talk, I can drive you back to your car. There we’ll discuss all that is there to know.” He proffered, coming to a stop ahead of her. Lisa gaped with confusion. Of course she needed illumination to whatever he might be insinuating about so she accepted to take his ride. Throughout the walk back to the ca
Chapter 7: Obsessed It Seems. Kurt had just gotten his heart shattered into a million pieces, he stood there with a droopy aura drowning his entire soul. Lisa had just walked out on him and he has no idea how to beg, what else to do? He knew nothing about how he arrived on that bed with Rhea. He could swear, but Lisa was done believing him. His phone vibrated with a ding repeatedly in his pockets, series of messages popping into the phone made him snapped out of his hurting moment. He brought out his phone and all the notifications were derived from a single person who sent him multiple texts. He scrolled open his phone, tapping on the message bar to see the pictures that were forwarded to him from his secretary, Rhea. A message was then attached at the end of the pictures. “You want proof, there is your proofs.” The text screened in his vision, he read the message before going through the pictures. It was his wife, captured together with his enemy. Callan Myers. He swiped thr
Chapter 8: Brother With The Past. Lisa was uncannily quiet throughout the ride to Leo’s home. She had her mind occupied by the strange call she received a while back with a very familiar voice uttering quite the threatening statement.She was threatened and was stuck wondering who was behind it. Leo halted his motioning car to a stop at a nicely marked garage, stepping out of the car as he ushered Lisa to do the same. He led her straight into his well structured and modernized home, upon walking through the door a middle aged woman showed up. “Mr Woods.” The woman bowed her head, greeting him. “Mrs Elle, this is my sister. Lisa, and Lisa, this is the housekeeper. She’s very nice and I see her more than what she is, if you need anything, just go straight to her.” He made the introduction, glancing from both the woman to Lisa. “Nice to meet you ma’am, I’m Lisa Brig-“ she paused within her sentence, her instantly turning droopy as she realized the name she was about addressing hers
Chapter 9: Vengeance Screams Louder. Lisa hesitated in picking the call, wanting to ignore it because his voice is the last thing she wants to hear at the moment.But then changed her mind to hear the rubbish he has to spew. She picked the call, “Hello,” she forced the word out of her mouth, coming out unfriendly. “You never told me Callan was the man.” A solemn voice dimmed from the phone, the sound tipping Lisa off a small edge. Seems like their separation is taking a toll on Kurt already, but then her mind referred back to his statement. She never told him Callan was the man. Who is Callan? What does it have to do with their situation? What about him is he talking about?“What are you talking about?” She quested for illumination, her brows knitting in confusion. “Don’t play dumb, Lisa. I know everything now, your secret affair with Callan Myers, I know even he’s the owner of your child. I just don’t get the reason why you never told me and rather allow me fall in love with yo
Chapter 10: Contacting His Nemesis. Lisa’s mind relish her moment on phone with Kurt, his bitter words chanting beneath her ears. A litany. Animating her as she mapped upon the veneers of her heart her intended plans for Kurt. He had accused her of an affair with Callan Myers, she might as well launch her revenge from him. A smirk edged her lips at the thought of that, knowing very well who Callan Myers is. The man topping the list of those blacklisted CEOs of Atlanta, he was canceled due to a scandal leaked by no one else other than Kurt, his rival to tame and destroy his nemesis forever. They’ve been at it for quite a long time, ever since Kurt dredged a secret kept by Callan. The secret gaining awareness of Kurt’s knowledge slammed an axe into his bond with Callan. Both were best friends, best of friends, and overnight became enemies. Caught up in the city’s hustle and bustle playing a game of cat and mouse, that was until Kurt grasped a good hold of him and put him down. Ca
Chapter 44: Some Facts And Threats. Cole thrown in a dazed mood, stared around, retracted his hand and tried to understand Kurt’s words. He did just referred Lisa as his wife, so his words needed to be understood. And if he wasn’t looking wrong, he’s staring at the well known Kurt Briggs. When was Kurt Briggs ever married? So Kurt Briggs has a wife. It’s shocking for him. “What are you doing here, Kurt?” Lisa trailed her darkened eyes up to look at him, to show him just how much he’s bothering the flow of her peace: “Call it instinct, wasn’t this dude hitting on you?” He grilled, his feisty gaze focused on Cole. “Do you know him? Is he really your husband? What is going on-““You can shove those questions right back where they came from, and instead tell me the reason why you were touching someone that doesn’t belong to you?” Kurt closed the space separating them, his tone more rough and his hand fisted. He leveled Cole a daring glare, as if daring him to utter the wrong word. L
Chapter 43: Danger For The Stranger.Throughout Lisa’s ride to the club where her friend was, waiting for her. One thing pressured her thinking box, her encounter back at Leo’s mansion with a possible captive. She didn’t want to believe what she heard, or the strange moments that was with Mrs Elle; she was all edgy compare to her usual self. Lisa arrived at the club, sauntering her way through the sweaty crowds downstairs till she got to the spot secured for their outing by her friend. It was space inside the VIP’s lobby. “Lisa!!!” Jules called out once her gaze met with Lisa’s. Springing to her feet with her arms stretched wide, calling Lisa in for a hug. “Come here girl, it’s been so long,” she wheezed, gleaming with glee. They chattered quite briefly before taking their seats, “So I have two more friends on their way, and this is going to be your first time meeting them. Where I met them or where they’re from is not important at the moment, what’s important is,” she paused, whi
Chapter 42: Captive In The House. Lisa reached for her phone, tapping it open to read whatever message she received. Her eyes paled reading the text, it was from an anonymous sender, making yet another threat. “What are their names again? Steve and Joanna. Stay away from Kurt or they die!” She exhaled audibly, glancing around at the unease settling in her system as she dropped her phone. This was becoming more than she can handle, and there is no one she could reach out to for help. She’d lost appetite for her lunch, putting it all aside with the half emptied juice. Her phone buzzed where she tossed it, ringing up in the silence. Lisa heaved a groan before picking it up, the caller contact screening Jules. “Tell me you’re getting ready or that you haven’t changed your mind?” Her gleeful voice sounded on the phone. Tugging on Lisa’s emotions. She wanted the happiness, the excitement Jules was currently feeling. Her feelings are shacked into a void filled with darkness and dept
Chapter 41: An Overall Shadiness.Although she never wanted to accept any gift from him, or allow him get her the jewelry he planned to buy. However, after seeing the pedi-white colored ring, made out of crystal, with beautiful gemstones adoring the edges. And an emerald green thin necklace made out of gem, plus the purple and black designed bracelet. All worrying close to ten million dollars, she couldn’t refuse it. He got it all with just a swipe of his credit card, handing it over to her before he driving her off to a florist shop. He bought her a new bouquet of Iris flowers, with gold dusts sprinkled all over it giving the beauty a much more elegant feel and look. There wasn’t another stop next, he dropped her off at Leo’s mansion and finally left her alone, waving her goodbye and expecting to see her tomorrow at the office; with her bodyguard sacked of course. Lisa retired straight to her room, slamming her body straight on her body while heaving a long heavy sigh. Her flow
Chapter 40: A Petty Gesture.Lisa had no option than to call an ambulance over to help Callan’s pitiful state. He only allowed her made the sky. Thereafter, he took her bag from where it was dumped and volunteered to hold it. He also offered his bloody hand for her to hold, a gesture she refused in a blink, glaring hard at him as they both boarded the elevator.They arrived at the first floor, the company’s employees were starting to clear out, but those who were present witnessed the whole new boss helping his secretary with her handbag and the knuckles of his hands filled with blood. They could only stare, unable to mutter a single word of gossip as both pair departed their gaze. “Your bodyguard is parked there, time to go fulfill your promise.” Kurt pointed out to a familiar vehicle, making his statement. “I can’t, I’m not the one who hired him. It was my brother, when I get back home, I will talk to him about firing him and how he is a danger if on our way home you’re going to
Chapter 39: The Toxic Side Of Jealousy “Oh mine, thank you so much!” Lisa fumed out a fake well contorted excitement, reaching out to collect the gifts when it was smacked away. Kurt’s hand withdrew to himself afterwards, he went over to where the bouquet fell and the bag. In visible rage, he jumped on the flowers, stomping on it till it was smashed to pieces. He then took the gift bag, check out what was inside and it was an Hermes golden bracelet neatly placed in a box. All together with the box, he threw it out of the glassy window, creating a hole through the glass. Anger radiated from his presence when he returned to where Callan stood standing across where Lisa seated. “What was my warning?” He seethed, in a grim tone as he launched a folded fist into his face. Lisa gasped, totally not expecting all he was doing from him, she expected a much more reserved reaction.She had never seen a jealous side of Kurt before, because it took so long even experience his love. She nev
Chapter 38: Two Sides To A Coin. “Pardon?” Again, she also expressed her shock. “And who are you to demand that might I ask? Like I’m very sure you know you being my boss doesn’t stretch over to my personal affairs?” She backed her point, taking an offensive stance against him. “He’s a danger to your safety, so I suggest you do by my order and indeed fire him. I wouldn’t be asking you to do this if it isn’t crucial, it’s crucial to your safety. I can’t share more than I already share, sack him and get him far away from you if you want to be safe. If you don’t do that, then you’re in danger. He is not who he said he is, a skilled bodyguard assigned to protect you I mean, he’s a formidable assassin posing as the protector when he is in fact the danger. You can go!” Instant he dropped his attention back to the system he was operating on, having no interest in a further conversation with Lisa about his demand.He purposely did that, to make sure he did the right thing. Asking her to s
Chapter 37: His Pesty Appearance. Lisa furrowed her brows, her gaze narrowing a confused look. “What do you mean not possible? I said I’m not interested in working here anymore.” She rephrased. “No!” He sharply declined just after she made the statement. “Why?” Lisa flummoxed at his sharp declination, he had just stated for her not to mix up their personal vendetta with profession, yet that seem exactly like what he’s doing. “Because Ms Carter, you can’t just quit on your boss all of a sudden or out of the blue. You need to at least inform me days before I concur with such decision, then a resignation letter needs to be submitted for me to review and approve. Yes I said approve, because things here will be changing to exactly how I want it to be. Employees can now only quit by my approval, and that is after certain steps have been carried out. Today is a long day, Ms Carter, I suggest we get to work. Go on to your desk, I will call you when you’re needed.” He came up with a long e
Chapter 36: Her New Boss“Hello? Lisa! Earth to you!” Leo waved in her face, bringing her back to consciousness with a snap as she’s far into her imagination. Lisa blinked, becoming aware of her surroundings. She looked up at the man in front of her, flashing him a sweet smile. “I’m going to work and I wanted to let you know, but I chickened out as I wanted to knock.” She came up with a smooth explanation, retaining her smile. “It’s fine, just make sure to remain safe and away from trouble. Wyatt, your bodyguard told me what happened yesterday. I don’t want anything happening to you, so try to keep yourself safe in anyway you can. For instance, don’t go talk to strangers who are following you except the person is Wyatt.” He admonished, coating his words with both concern and care. For a split second, Lisa caught herself burying her doubts. That the man talking to her is a true human being, and not shady like she just found out. Nothing on his face, by his words hinted on what he m
