" 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
As I stood at the altar, facing the love of my life, my heart swelled with emotion. Cole, my tall and handsome groom, gazed at me with an intensity that made my knees weak. I looked into his eyes and felt my heart skip a beat. We had been through so much together, and now we were finally here, ready to take our vows and start our forever.As we exchanged our promises of eternal love, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The words felt weighty on my tongue, as I spoke them with all the conviction in my heart. I vowed to love and cherish Cole, to stand by him in good times and bad, and to always be his faithful partner.And then, as we sealed our union with a kiss, I felt a burst of joy and happiness. I was officially Mrs. Cole, and nothing could be more thrilling. I turned to face our guests, and they erupted into applause and cheers. We had done it!As the reception got underway, Cole and I danced the night away, reveling in our love and the joy of the occasion. We laughed and chat
As I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, I couldn't help but feel excited for the day ahead. I knew it was going to be a special night, one that Cole and I would remember for years to come.I slowly got out of bed and started my day by brewing a fresh pot of coffee. The aroma of the coffee filled the kitchen, and I knew that it would be the perfect way to start the day.As I was sipping my coffee, I decided to call Cole and see how his day was going. He picked up the phone on the second ring, and I could hear the sound of his voice on the other end of the line."Good morning, my love. How's your day going?" I asked, trying to sound as sultry as possible."It's going well, thank you for asking. I have a lot of work to do today, but I'm looking forward to coming home to you tonight," he replied, sounding a bit tired."I know you're a workaholic, but I have something planned for us tonight that I think you're going to love," I teased."What is it?" he asked, sounding
I lay there in bed next to my husband, Cole, watching him sleep. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger mixed with sadness. This wasn't the first time he had come home late, leaving me waiting and hoping for a romantic evening together.But then again, I couldn't entirely blame him. Cole was a successful businessman, always on the go and trying to meet the demands of his job. I knew it wasn't easy, and I didn't want to add to his stress. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel neglected and unimportant.As I lay there, I thought about all the effort I had put into planning our romantic dinner. The cooking, the decorating, and the lingerie. And yet, it had all gone to waste.I was brought back to reality when Cole stirred in his sleep and let out a soft snore. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. Even in his sleep, he managed to make me smile. But as I looked at him, I knew I couldn't let this slide.I nudged him gently, trying to wake him up. "Cole, wake up," I whispered.
