We didn't fly together, I took the private jet and he flew back using business class in a commercial plane, ever since I had known Cole, he had never flown in a commercial plane, I thought about the countless hours of trips we had have in this private jet while I was still working as his secretary, how many girls I have seen ride with him, how he would flirt with them and how they would think that he was in love with them just to have on the next trip him bringing back another girl. It was a habit for him. I had never seen one girl twice on this train. Most of them flew with us during the trip and he would dismiss them before the trip was over—tops, two days. I sometimes wonder what those girls felt but sometimes I conclude they knew what they were getting into and the truth was that most of them just wanted a taste of his money and glamorous lifestyle. They don't care if this were to be a passing fling, a one-night stand, all they wanted was his money and the prestige that came with

— Beth —I couldn't believe that my life had come to this, i was all on my own and alone . I had never complained about the robotic life i had lived and endured as Cole's secretary. I had never had a single complain in my life. It was sad to see that i, who was once famous for been unseeable was now out there, in the world, bare and exposed. Everybody had seen my delicate parts, my drunken face and my state of vulnerability. I stood at my window, tear drops creased my cheeks and the hem of my shirt. I didn't want to go out today or ever, there was no use for even trying to see the outside world.I knew that it was bullshit but still, been depressed could have been so much better than what I had going on for me. I had no job, I had no money, I had no cole.Cole...My belly twisted in knots and ended up giving my heart another drop in beats. The sky was grey with the tears I had welled up in my eyes as I recalled our vacation.Baecation as I had findky tried to call it, we had so much f

— beth—"How did this happen? What the fuck happened! How? What?" That's all I could remember after seeing my naked body on the internet. I remember the disgust that wrapped Cole's face and made him become like a stranger to me. He didn't see the need to want to speak to me or to even let me handle work and who could blame him? He fired me from my job, terminated the contract and still rented a place farway from the city to keep me from all the socials that may have broken into my home if I still lived there. I could imagine all the glass breaking from the windows and how each man climed in and tried to have their way with her.Which got her even more upset, she was a victim and not the oppressor. She was the oppressed. She had nothing to do with it, she didn't know what she was doing,she was intoxicated and didn't know that it wasn't cole, it was Nate. She didn't get the chance to even explain herself as shades from different angles were thrown at her for showing and proudly showcasi

" Crystal, how did you get my number?" I was overwhelmed with emotions but at the same time I needed to reason because anybody could have been the enemy."Who else? Your doting husband of course" what? I didn't understand how that was even possible. It didn't make any sense whatsoever. How was it that he fired me from my job, took away my freedom, removed me from social media,secluded me from the rest of the world and still have my new number to a friend. Did he love me? Did he still love me? I mean, I remember feeling that it wasn't just me falling in love, he must have felt something too but right now, actions were proving alot more than words. I was so happy that Cole remembered me, my eyes watered at the very moment 'doting husband' was mentioned. I couldn't understand why it made me cry and I didn't know if it was the fact that crystal didn't know that it was a fake, that we were taking it or that he was still caring for me despite the image I had, displayed on ever wall and stre

Eight Am got me cleaning the house and arranging everything that needed arrangement. Eight Am saw me having my bath in days and brushing my hair out. Eight Am had me arranging my fridge and burning my nose wipes in an ash tray. I didn't even smoke but I had one. I smiled at myself. Crystal was coming over today and I didn't want to give her the expression that I was unhappy and depressed and beyond tired of everything at this point. I didn't want her to pity me in the tiniest bit or fashion and then try to help me heal just because she pitied me. It would break my heart and my remaining pride if I still had some left. I washed some apples that I was sure she would eat because although I tried to conceal the real situation of things, I couldn't conceal the lack of energy and strength and power to cook or to properly clean my house. It wasn't as if I was supposed to have visitors, I was in timeout and I had every right to make my timeout house anything I wished, it so happened that I wa

"But I'd like to ask, what exactly made you to cheat on your fake husband?" She was puzzled. Finally an answer to my prayers, my own side of the story."I didn't, I was seduced and I was taken advantage of" her eyes grew wide as saucers and I continued."Let me start from the beginning" I started." Back at the island, Cole and I hadn't bonded and I was feeling so lonely with no friends and in a new place, no body to go on adventures with. Cole had left some money on the table again and walked out of the bedroom, not uttering a word to me" crystal grabbed a bag of chips from the nearby trolley."Don't mind me, go on" I smiled"So, I took the money and got dressed because if Cole wasn't about to follow me and have fun with me then I may as well do so myself, I went down at the beach with my bikinins and a mojiota drink in hand and a hat for the shade and sunscreen for protection. The beach wasn't really occupied at the time and all I wanted was a good time taking care of myself as I ha

" I know I said we need to do something but how about, you let me reflect on this till tomorrow and I come back tomorrow to tell you what I've thought about? I need to go home soon, it's getting late" I looked at my wall clock and exclaimed 'shit!' how fast had the time travelled. K was glad though that I told my story and somebody believed me for every words I had said, she was a good friend and k would never forget her.I saw her out, she took her trolley, promising to being back more snacks on the trolly tomorrow, that made me smile so much, my face nearly froze with excitement.For the first time in weeks in New York City, I could sleep with one eye closed...As promised by eight Am, crystal was at my door, knocking. I walked towards the doors and as I did yesterday, didn't check first for who it was. I was thrown into surprise when I saw not just crystal but the full squad at my door with tiny hamphers of goodies and tinier cards all wrapped up in transperant foil paper."Surpris

Just as they had said, I found myself having an appointment in less than a week's time, to say the truth I was scared and I was nervous but I was determined. My friends had help me prepare for the live interview as I had never done such before in my life. I wore a turtle neck and some overrals with biker's shoes. It made me feel relaxed and it made crystal brow her mind with all the yelling and fussing she was doing before I left the house. She had spent hours arranging and changing her mind on what I should wear, I decided there was no need for the indecisiveness, I simply picked what was most comfortable for me. Here I was, about to go on national television to expose Nate and the magazine for what was done to me. I was not a victim by choice, it just happened. "And moving in to our special guest today... Give it up for Elizabeth Watson " the crowd cheered, mostly the men and some gay women I presumed and some with questioned morality. I walked with uneven legs to the seat that wa

ELIZABETH The phone rang.I turned and tossed as I was the only one awake at the moment, with Cole snoring peacefully close to where I was.He needed it. He had been a good boy doing all the work all night long, I groaned as I got out of bed making my way all naked to where the phone of the cabin."Can you pick that up please." Cole grunted in his sleep.Last night had been a hell of a night, and we've done several things all night till daybreak. It all started with the couples bonfire night —As the last day's event , guess we had too much of the local brewed drink of the South Africans.Could it be termed as?Reconciliation sex? It was far more than that.It was the One month of getting back together with Cole and all we've done during those times was literally fuck all day.We were like new couples who couldn't take our eyes and urge off each other.It was all we did more so it was the reason why we had taken the trip.Olivia had been there first to look at it then had sent the lin

COLE.THE best decision I had ever made in my life was getting rid of Evelyn and that of course was after the Dna test came out negative.Guess Eliza was shocked when my doctor gave out the evidence, I was not the father of Sarah but in a way I felt concern for her well-being.Just like Adrian who was sitting close to Eliza and been in Riel life.I had been jealous for a while seeing them together but then I had taken my mind off it by looking at the face of the judge.It was all going in my favor, there was maids and guards all there to tell the court of how Evelyn had been toxic all this while.All of a sudden, it became a two-way case with me battling for the custody of two children.An Alpha man in every sense…It was funny that Evelyn was only starting to love her child after she found out that she has a part of my finances willed to her name but that had been a trap at my end.Women like Evelyn deserved to be in rehabilitation or even worse hell."Is that all or there are still

ELIZABETHGoosebumps…It was a day to the trial and that seemed to be what took over all or most of my mind, I didn't know how to deal with all of the pressure.Work that week had been hectic, yet at the same time it had been distracting enough that it kept me afloat all this while, it had been the main reason I had not wallowed In what could be the decision made by the court.The wind found its way past my body feeling it with smoothness but left my soul bare, dark and inexpressive.I was out at the mall, smiling at the door man that held the door while I stood looking past the opened door with two bags in my head.As my gaze shifted to the second car, a convertible, where a tall, handsome man was alighting, dressed in rolled up top and faded jeans. I reeled back in shock as he turned towards where I was with Cole slipping out of my lips silently.Disbelief fought with unmistakable recognition, I was barely ten minutes from my house and of all the malls in the whole of the city, h

ELIZABETHWe were always in pursuit of perfection and after getting it all, what else?The need for Perfection was by far the greatest flaw of any man and I found myself succumbing to the same fate.I have gotten the revenge I had spent the last five years of my life looking for but still had no satisfaction—It was all like vanity.To make matters worse Riel had incessantly been talking about his father, in a way it seemed like the two had a bond I couldn't quite describe almost as though they were meant to be with each other all this long while.It was the main reason I had moved out of the hotel and gotten a place, I couldn't just live a life where I kept looking over my shoulders if Cole would pop in anytime and demand for his child.Suddenly, it was starting to look like the game had turned against me and I was the one at the end of everything all, I was the one that was mocked by fate.Over the next few weeks, I worked very hard at blocking Cole out of my consciousness, and

ELIZABETH.It calls for celebration right?The thought of how Cole would feel hearing that I had taken this from him at the last moment brought a smirk to my face.It took me five years, five good years and finally I could say that I had gotten a revenge that was worthwhile.He had rang them in my presence and they had given him the news.A part of me felt a kind of sympathy for the man that had been my husband and who was definitely the father of my child but soon the expression and sick feeling gave room for the grudges I had against him.I was half home and was giving Evelyn the gossip of how everything went when she informed me that she was no longer at the suite but was now at her place.Apparently, she got a call from the office and since she couldn't leave him behind she had gone with him to her place."Why do I have a feeling you just want to see me?" I asked.She scoffed ." Just get your ass here."Change of plans…I thought to myself as I turned the car three-sixty degrees a

COLE "What!"My car came to an abrupt stop on the road, I thought I was done hearing bad news and this popped up out of nowhere.I couldn't think about the possibility of this happening,I couldn't think about me losing the deal and if it was happening that way it was starting to look like Karma was all out to get me.I swerved my car in a complete U turn and headed straight back for the company driving crazilyStill running the thought in my mind, In a way it was hard to believe everything he was telling me, as I couldn't quite place it around my mind.The more I thought about it, the more I saw reasons not to.I rang the company while driving through the highway like quite an insane person. The only memories that kept going through my mind were two.The first had something to do with getting there as fast as I could and the other was a warning thought about how fast I was driving.This shouldn't even be happening, I had outbidded the least person by a whole lot.They picked after r

ELIZABETHImagine the shock.I stood there looking at the prospective bidders and there — Right there was Cole's name.A smirk crawled across so fast as the speed of light, you wouldn't have caught a glimpse of it if you didn't look.One thing I have gotten to know about my Ex husband was he went for only deals that were deemed necessary and important. If he was going for this it meant it was quite as important.It could mean only one thing…The thought of the implications passed through my mind.There was a need for me to know, a need for me to know how important this was to me."Do you have any idea of how important this deal would be to him?" I turned to Annabelle—My lawyer."You mean you don't know?" She looked at me puzzled.The look she gave me was as though I didn't know what was going on …What looked to be trending.If it was, it got me wondering Olivia didn't mention it to me-"Know what?" I looked at her expressing the same emotions that was right they're still on her face.

ELIZABETH There was only one way to explain how blissful a home is and the truth is there was nothing like home?Could there have been anything more?Certainly not as the best part of any entity was getting back home after staying away for so long.No matter how one looked at it… it turned out to be that home is where the heart is .That was the case with my mind all through the trip back home to start. I didn't know what to expect when I got home, whether good or bad.Five years had not been a short while and it was easy to see that a lot had changed during those long while.All through this while I had been far away from home and had probably missed the concept of what a good home could be but the moment my plane landed in the track I could see everything again.The probabilities were high and I could tell everything from the moment we walked through the airport hallway pulling out bags.From a frantic Riel excited to have a feel of the city to myself that didn't know how to take
