My fingers move fast on the keyboard. I have to get this paper work done with before it clocks 7pm. I can't help but smile as I think of Collins. He's been acting off but suprisingly, yesterday he brought up the topic of a date by 7pm today. Not just that, he also bought me an outfit to wear later tonight. I know he is off and on sometimes but I think he's just stressed out because of his parent issues and he's also been trying to get a new job. I try to make him feel ok and comfortable with the fact that I have a job but he doesn't. Unfortunately, that only seems to worsen the situation. We end up arguing and he will be away from home for days. When he finally comes back, he's in a good mood and then out of the blue, gets angry. He seems to have the talent of making something out of nothing. I look away from my laptop as my phone bips. I look at my phone and pick it up when I see Clara's message pop up at the screen. 'looks like he's in a good mood again.'
Collins parks the car at the parking lot then goes out of the car to open my door for me. I step down from the car and wait for Collins to shut my door before we walk in together. We grab a sit and table and make ourselves comfortable before Collins calls the waiter to take our orders."What should I get you madam?""Oh, uhm...""She'll go with buffalo wings and then crab cakes for supper.""Oh, ok." The waiter nods and walk away.I turn to look at Collins with a smile. "You are so active today, what's up?" I raise my brows, my smile still in tact."Nothing. Can't I be happy and active?" "I'm not saying you can't but with you nowadays, it's unusual."He sighs and grabs my hand from across the table. "Baby." He calls.Baby? "About how I've been acting, I'm sorry. I'm stressed up with everything that is going on in my life. When I leave home, I try to get a break from everything. To have a rest of mind and to gather myself. I really
I run into my room and shut the door close. I angrily take off my shoes and fall to the floor as I couldn't hold myself any longer. I really don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe Collins cheated on me. I don't want to believe these eight months were for nothing.I wonder how long he has been doing this behind my back. Who knows, maybe that lady isn't the first or even the second. I feel like a fool. I feel disgusted with myself. He's been having sex with me and other girls. To me I'm his girlfriend but to him, I'm his side chick. Wow, so much of my self respect. I won't be ok with myself staying here. I won't. I need to be away from him to think. No. There's actually nothing for me to think about, consider or give second thoughts to. He cheated and possibly, is cheating. There is no better excuse to justify that.I wipe my tears and raise myself from the floor. I grab my luggage bag and carelessly drop my clothes inside. I move on to packing m
"What should I do to him, boss?" I smirk at the helpless guy through the video call. He's so young and penniless, just like his father. I doubt he's going to make any difference in his life any year from now. He'll end up ageing and wasting his life."It's regrettable, your son has to pay for your sins." I turn to the old man beside me. Tied up to a chair and helpless just like his son in the video. The pleasure it gave me to know I have so much power and dominance over souls like these.He struggle on his chair, humming and trying to speak. "Mmm. Mmm." He shakes his head continously. "So tell me. What should I do to him?""Mmm. Mmm. Mmm." He shook his head, 'no'."I'm sorry, I can't hear you." He put in more effort to speak through his sealed lips. "Pardon." I watch him try his best. His vulnerability makes me burst into laughter. The laughter that erupts through my lips, echoe in the dim room. I point at the laptop. "There. That's your son." I stand from my chair and walk to his.
The knock on my door makes me drop my phone and roll my chair forward. "Come in." Seth walks in and bows as usual."Boss, Collins Fisher is here.""Let him in." He walks out of the door and close it. Soon, he walks in again, this time with Collins behind him. Seth walks back to shut the door and then come to stand beside my table. "Sit." I command.He looks quite afraid but he's obviously making an effort to hide it and control himself. He sits opposite me, as ordered. I study him as he looks at Seth, slowly studies the room then finally settles his eyes on me."You want us to lend you a huge sum of money." I state, not question.He nods. "Yes." Before today, the last time I heard of Collins Fisher was when Seth told me about another client who wants to be lended money like that old man. I couldn't attend the meeting then because I had some other important work to do. More like an important issue to take care of. Seth told me the update of the meeting and now another meeting is bein
I currently look like a mess. My baggy-red eyes, bad breath, dried skin and dirty body. I've been on the floor, hugging me knees, crying nonstop. I couldn't sleep last night. How could I? When I don't know what Collins motive his. God knows what he is up to.He has never been this way, right? or I was just the one who failed to see this side of him.How disgusting of him to propose a date while he was cheating behind my back. Now, he keeps me locked in this room, leaving me clueless about his intentions. My biggest fear right now is the monster I saw him turn into just yesterday and my gut feeling might be right that I'm not at all safe here. I shouldn't wait to experience it before I believe it. I should start thinking of how to escape from here and Collins.Clara. She's the only one who can help me now. She has always helped me in difficult times so she won't stop now. At least not on such occasion. "My phone my phone." I mutter as I look round the room. I sight it on the floor jus
I run away from the apartment as far as my legs could go. I stop to catch my breath. I look round, stand and bend. Tasty and exhausted, I know I can't run any further. I've got no money on me to purchase water or something to drink. I decide to fetch a cab to Clara's house. She'll pay the bill when I get there. I just hope she hasn't left the house yet. I gather myself to walk closer to the road and stop a cab. That done, I relax at the back seat waiting for the driver to reach my destination. "Where to ma'am?" He asks but I don't respond. I rest my head on the car's head rest and shut my eyes.~"Ma'am. Ma'am." My eyes slowly open as someone pushes my hand. "Wake up." Exhausted, I struggle to turn my head. I look up at the driver then behind him at Clara's house.With effort, I step down from the car. I walk to the gate and try to open it."My money!" He calls. I ignore him as I had done previously and push the gate open. Just then, Clara opens her apartment door open."Jane!" She
"Jane!" Someone calls.I switch to the other side of my bed and plan to continue my sleep from there. At least after some days, now that I've been away from Collins, I've been able to find a bit of comfort and little of peace."Janet!" Someone pushes my leg. I jerk away and adjust to sleep, but this time, the hard force of my pillow, comes in contact with my face."Ouch." I groan and struggle to stand. I blink my lashes and look over at Clara who's standing before my bed with hands on her waist. "What's your problem?""You, babygirl." She says sweetly but to me whom my sleep as just been disturbed, she sounds annoying. "Do you want to spend today on your bed?" I roll my eyes as she speaks. "I've been waiting for you to get up.""But I don't want to, right?" I yawn. "Come on, the weather feels so good. I haven't slept so well for a long time now.""There are so many nights before we leave this earth, so come on. Stand up.""No." I say sternly and lay back down, covering my entire body
I rest on my office table. My face was calm but my palms was where all my anger lied in. The pain as I clench it at the edge of the table for over five minutes now, doesn't bother me. I swallow hardly. My evident adam apple moving up and down. I seem to be working with foolish people, who aren't as smart as I had expected them to be. But their foolishness is their business. It shouldn't be rubbed off on my work or anything concerning me.I'm not nice or kind enough to tolerate such. It has never been a quality of mine.I look down at the Collins bastard who kneeled before me. The bastard I had thought won't end up like the Johnson's. The bastard I had thought is worth my time. The bastard that had risen my hope on getting her. The price, the worth. I wanted nothing but to make her my possession. I was meant to have her since last week. By now she would have been in my arms, on my bed and I would have gotten to feel every inch of her. But the case is different. Instead of having he
