Sally It's just one small firm. Just one small company that was like only five per cent of what I owned, but still, it hurts to know that Cisco did this. "Sally... You shouldn't panic, it's just one small firm." Christopher added as I coughed to clear my throat. I snorted, my head was beginning to ache." Just one firm? But he succeeded in taking it from me, and I was completely oblivious I had no idea what was going on. He has the upper hand."My voice broke. The one thing I regretted most was opening my legs for him last night only to find out about this in the morning. I felt like I was being used. Like I was a puppet with no way to break free from the strings. "No, Sally...he doesn't; he doesn't know that you already found out what he did and what he is going to do, so just act like you really don't know and beat him at his own game." I took a deep breath to clear my raging mind." You're right, it's just a small firm. I will be extra careful from now on." " Everything is g
Sally Just then an old lady walked into the cafe and sat on a free chair close to mine. The old lady had a boy with her, she ordered food for the boy and watched him as he ate. He ate like he had been starved for days and the woman had a sad but loving look in her eyes. I stared at the woman intently. The boy and old lady looked quite familiar - then our eyes met. The woman stared at me for a while with an indescribable expression on her face and then looked away. I finally remembered where I had seen this woman. She was the same woman I had seen in my company when I was coming out of the elevator, and the boy was the same child I thought looked like Pamela. I wondered what they were doing here but this was a cafe anyway, so anyone could come here to eat. It wasn't too long before the woman got up to leave, but before she left, she looked at me again and quickly left, dragging the child along with her. Why do strange things keep happening to me? First, that scary shadow in
Sally Liz groaned out and finally moved from her position."Oh my god! We already know so stop wasting time and save yourself the trouble." Rachel glanced between me and Liz, a conflicted expression on her face. "I said ...I don't know what you're talking about." She repeated, her voice laced with a strong resolve. "Damn it! " I cursed, gritting my teeth and slamming my hand on the desk."Don't you dare try to fool me, I'm giving you one last chance." "I already told you, what else do you want to hear?" Tears were already threatening to fall off her eyelids, her voice was choked. I watched as her whole body quivered and how her face turned red. She was probably scared but I didn't care." I already quit your job, so leave me alone; it's not my fault you are not good enough for your husband." At that moment, I made her regret her words. The next sound that echoed in the office were two slapping sounds, one from Liz and the other from me. We had almost slapped her simultaneously,
Francisco "Was that mum ?" Nora asked as she placed her school bag in the trunk of the car. "Yes, she's already heading home right now."I beamed. The girls got into the car and I put on the ignition. We talked about stuff little girls talked about and we laughed a lot. Iris smiled a lot; she was still wary of me, but at least she smiled. It only meant that she was loosening up a little. I missed the old days with my daughters. A smile appeared on my face as I thought back to the times they used me as a mannequin for their dress-up game. The worst part was getting the make-up and paint off my face. It took hours of scrubbing, and that was when I realised they had actually used paint in place of makeup on my face because their mother didn't let them touch her makeup kit. " Hey kids, why don't we all go out tomorrow since you are done with your exams ?" "That would be great."Nora squealed. " But mum said we were going on vacation to a place very far away from here after our ex
Francisco I heard footsteps approaching and turned in the direction of the sound. My eyes were glued to the woman who also stopped in her tracks. She looked even more beautiful under the sunset. Her long thick hair danced in the direction of the wind. She was wearing a huge panda sweater and shorts which got lost under the long and big sweater. I could not get my eyes off her; my eyes travelled up and down her body, and she noticed the movement. She looked like a temptress, an irresistible one even. I think I've gone mad. I shouldn't be feeling any form of sexual desire towards her, at least not anymore, but I can't help it. I wasn't supposed to touch her because it would help keep my emotions in check, but I failed, and we fucked. The whole scene replayed on my mind each second and it only left me craving for more. I should be hard on her; I should be pretending to hate her and make her think I don't want her anymore, but instead, I'm doing the complete opposite. I
Francisco My hands, my feet and my whole body moved on their own, and before I knew it, we were already kissing on the balcony. The heat and tension radiated between us like a furnace. It was like you were kissing your enemy at the same time expecting a stab in the back. The feeling was crazy. I pressed her back on the railing, allowing my fingers to wander through her body. We broke apart for a brief second, both of us panting. Our eyes were glued like a magnet. I could read through her; she had conflicted feelings; she probably hated me but was trying to mask it with desire. It was the same for me. I didn't let the heat die down and took our little act to the next level. My hands found their way under her sweatshirt, and I squeezed her breast. She let out a gasp, arching her back. I claimed her lips again and lifted her up." I think my bedroom is more comfortable." I whispered in her ears as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I carried her into the house without br
Francisco Breakfast the next morning was awkward because Sally was still giving me cold shoulders, and she didn't even throw as much as a glance my way. It was supposed to be a peaceful family dinner until Pamela came to join us. Sometimes, I wonder if she was doing this on purpose; she was supposed to know her place and let me handle everything. The looks I received from my kids and Sally were enough to burn me to the ground. I tried talking to Pamela with my eyes, she shouldn't be here, but she didn't listen. I could have dragged her out myself but I was already on the losing end here. " Umm.. mummy, are we still going out today?"Iris asked. " Yes, but that would be later in the evening because I will be going out with your dad soon." Sally actually made that statement to make Pamela jealous, and I didn't mind. " Ohh okay, we'll wait then." She shrugged. " Don't worry..we won't take long, "I added, smiling at her. Pamela shot me a nasty look, her face turning sour.
Iris I smiled as I fixed the last letter on the Scrabble board; this was the fifth time I was winning. I was So good at this, of course, it's because I'm the older one. I watched my sisters grumble over their failure and happily took the cookie jar which served as the trophy for the winner. I had eaten five jars of cookies now, and the triumphant smile on my face almost made my sister cry. "Want some?"I asked. I wasn't actually going to give them. I just loved the expression on their faces, especially Nora's. "Of course, we want some," Nora grumbled. I stuck out my tongue and happily ate my cookies. What a great feeling this is! "How about another round," I asked, hoping they'd agree so that I could have another jar of cookies "No!"They shouted almost the same time. I shrugged nonchalantly."Okay."I hummed and happily chewed away. I was almost done with eating the last jar of cookies when I heard a knock on the door. There was no one in the house; Dad and M
Sally I coughed and quickly covered my eyes. " I'm sorry for interrupting." I grinned. "No...no...no,you were not interrupting. I was just about to leave."Mr double H said and scrambled to his feet only to be pushed back down by Liz. " Yes! You were interrupting; I'll meet you in five." Liz said, smiling devilishly. I peeked between my fingers to take one last look at them. " I should get going now." I gave them a thumbs-up and finally left the room From behind the closed door, I could hear muffled voices. I actually pitied the poor guy for falling into the wrong hands. A few minutes later, Liz came out I didn't question her till I got into the car and started driving. " Soo...what's up with you and your new friend?" She gave me a cold look. " We're not friends, okay !" I laughed. " Then what was that all about? " " Stop getting wrong ideas, that was all nothing." She said and looked out the window, she was avoiding my gaze. "Gosh, Liz!!.... You only
Sally I grabbed my car keys and headed towards the parking lot. I had to give my statement at the precinct, and I was going alone. According to Cisco, I got her arrested so I should go alone. Last night, he didn't give me an answer. I waited and waited, and we stared at each other for like forever! His mood completely changed as soon as the police van drove out of our lawn. Cisco told me to my face that he was married to both of us, and he didn't Intend to divorce any of us, so he wasn't going to choose. It was then I realized that maybe it was hard for him to choose, that maybe he wanted me but could not let her go. But I already vowed not to share him so I wasn't going to agree with him on that. I would just wait till Pamela's case was settled then have a proper talk with him. It was actually strange that he looked kind of frustrated or rather angry. After I left him in the garden, he stayed there for way longer than expected. I even got worried and went down to check o
Sally I watched as my children fell asleep. It took a while before they finally slept off after the police left. I could sense that they were finally at peace, the relieved expression on their faces told me that they were more than happy to have Pamela gone for good. I was really surprised ....rather overjoyed at what Iris told me before going to bed. Pamela was probably planning to hide it from all of us. Iris told me she had burnt her skin with the iron. At first, I didn't believe it, but Nora and Mia both confirmed it. I had a triumphant smile on my face, knowing that my kids were able to defend themselves made me happy. At least Pamela would be groaning in pain behind bars. I just hoped the burn was big enough to leave a scar just like the little scars she left on my kids skins. Just as I finished tucking them in bed Cisco walked Into the room with a cup in his hand. I could see the steam coming out of the cup so I assumed it was a cup of
Sally The only thing I heard were screams, screams from that monster. I wasn't going to stop till I broke through her skull and forced her to eat her brains. What she did was unforgivable; I would kick her out of my house today! That was it! I would never let her stay in my house; in fact, she would spend half of her life in jail. I couldn't send Cisco to jail when he abused our children but this....I would never let this woman go free, Never! I was about to smash her head on the railing again when someone grabbed my hands and pulled me forcibly away from her. " Let me go!!!" I screamed, I knew it was Cisco who pulled me away. He was the only one strong enough to lift me. I struggled to get free from his hold, I wasn't done with Pam yet. This was just the beginning. Pamela squatted on the floor, holding her head, which was bleeding; she was crying loudly. I scoffed, this was nothing compared to what she did to my children. The mar
Sally We finally drove into our home, my mind still thinking and anticipating what would unfold in Cisco's room. I kept telling myself that I was doing this because I wanted to put on a façade, but deep down, I knew that it wasn't. My face had been red throughout the journey home I couldn't seem to get my mind off him. As soon as the car stopped, I rushed out and headed inside, grabbing the bags of gifts with me. I needed a cold bath to cool my burning cheeks before anything happened between us. I entered the sitting room and took a moment to look around. It was quiet. Maybe Pamela left the house, I wasn't so sure because I think I caught a glimpse of her car in the garage. Taking another step forward I almost toppled over. I looked down and saw that I had stepped on a sachet, and some of the creamy stuff inside it was spilt on the floor. Thank goodness I didn't fall and I was actually wearing heels! Who would throw an almost empty sachet of concealer on the
Francisco Watching her sip on the fruit juice mix we made, lightened the heavy weight in my chest a little. We had mixed different fruit extracts together ...it was actually her idea and I found it quite tasty. Just merely watching her made me feel less worried. Ever since the issue with Pamela came up, I hadn't slept properly, not of course she slept with me. It was hard to believe that she still had some effect on me just like back then. It had even become stronger. I knew very well what this was turning into, I thought I had succeeded in getting rid of my feelings for her; I even thought marrying Pamela would help, but I was wrong.....I was always wrong. Maybe if I had listened to Pamela back then and remained as a trusted friend and not let it cross the friend zone then I wouldn't have been in this kind of situation where I had to choose between my wife, another wife and money. I knew I was greedy, that was second nature to me. I mean, who wouldn't be greedy for something
Sally We finally drove home after many hours of spending time together. It wasn't what I had anticipated, to be honest. I really had a good time, but I didn't let myself get carried away by the extremely romantic atmosphere back at the restaurant. There was still some tension between us but it was manageable. I watched Cisco closely and made sure even his tiniest movement didn't escape my notice. His action seemed quite natural, though; I didn't see anything suspicious. It felt like he was actually genuine, no arriere pensee. I still didn't let my guard down even after concluding that this might just be a normal date like every other married couple do, I just wished he would stop his greedy quest and come back to us, to me. He still had access to my wealth as long as we were married, but what's getting me confused is why he's still after something that's already his. Thinking about it made my head hurt; I had to shove all misun
The old lady sighed as she watched Pamela enter her car so quickly as if she were being chased. She turned around and headed towards the bus stop to take the bus. She wondered why Pamela was so against seeing her, at least no one would suspect a thing. They couldn't just avoid each other forever. She had tried calling her several times, but she always ended the call; she even sent text messages to her, but she didn't reply to any of them. The last attempt she made to see her caused a big fight between them. She had gone to Sally's company hoping that she would perhaps see Pamela there but it turns out that she doesn't even work there. She even brought along the little boy in hopes that it would at least soften her heart and make her change her mind and return home but it all proved futile. Instead of meeting Pamela, she meets Sally, and that causes a big quarrel between Pamela and her. She had tried so hard to stop Pamela from chasing after Cisc
Pamela I rushed into my room to put on a jacket. I couldn't possibly take off my dress without the doctor's help, or I might worsen the burn. I had to get to the hospital and get back in time before Sally and her husband returned. Those brats were lucky; what I initially had in mind was to give them a taste of their own medicine. I had earlier gone into Sally's room to get the iron; I was actually waiting for it to get extremely hot. My plan was to burn their skins and make sure they peeled off; I was in pain because of Iris. I was planning to ruin her face and burn off her skin. I had to calm myself, or I would have ended up doing something that would put me in jail, and then I would lose everything. Whipping them was the best option I had, and that was a pretty good idea the only problem was that the concealer wouldn't stay forever on their skins. Their mother would probably find out sooner or later. I don't care actually...I already have a plan t
