“I know. But I’m really sorry you had to hear any of this. I…” he said and I hushed him.

“You are sorry I had to hear this? Oh please. Spare me all of that,” I said brushing it off.

“Initially, I didn’t want anything to ruin our day. Someone has come to but it’s nothing. We can still carry on like nothing happened,” I said to him and I saw a look of relief on his face. I wasn’t ready to banter words with him and besides, I was already in a very good mood till that woman came in to my home uninvited.

“Really?” He asked with a bright face and a bright smile, showing off his beautiful dentition.

“Yes really. You are very lucky I’m in a good mood today,” I said to him and he smiled and took my hand.

“Thank you my queen,” he said kissing my hand and it felt like a fairy tale. He was actually so romantic, I had easily forgotten but he was trying to remind me.

“It’s okay. Let’s go and finish breakfast and move on to the next duty of the day,” I said, walking back to the dining table while he

    “It’s nothing, honey. Trust me, whatever it is, I will handle it,” he said, reaching for my hand across the table. But I pulled away, feeling angry.“We, Rick. We will handle it. You are not alone in this. Not especially after you have signed me as a shareholder. We will sort out issues together and make important decisions together,” I said, trying to sound calm and supportive. But I was far from it. I wanted to know what was going on in his company, what secrets he was keeping from me.“So? Tell me,” I said, leaning forward on his chair. He shifted uncomfortably, avoiding my gaze.“It’s not something I want to talk about right now,” he said, taking a sip of his wine. I nodded, pretending to accept his answer.“Okay, fine. If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s fine,” I said, pouring myself a glass of juice. I needed something refreshing to cool down my temper.“Are you angry about it?” He asked, looking at me with concern. I shook my head, forcing a smile.“Oh no, I’m furious. But

    “Oh, Landry probably doesn’t even know,” she said casually, tossing her hair over her shoulder. “Sister, you have a lot of things to tell me about and trust me, I have my own tea to spill with you too!” I said eagerly. She squealed with delight and settled in.“I love me a good gossip. Shoot,” she said, giving me her full attention.“It is a lot! I mean, a whole lot! Are you free this noon? So you could come over. I would have come to your place, but my car is kind of ruined right now, courtesy of Bianca,” I said with annoyance, biting my lip.“What? Bianca who?” She asked, confused.“Bianca. The wife of Henry, the club owner,” I said and she gasped. “No way! No freaking way! You do have a lot to tell me. I’ll be in your house in an hour!” She said and I was so excited.“Alright. I’ll be waiting for you!” I said and she smiled and disconnected the call.I put down my phone and sighed. I couldn’t wait to see her and tell her everything.I decided to take out one of my favorite books to

    “You know Rick. I have never actually met your wife,” she said, following me with her eyes.“No you haven’t. She’s a sight to behold isn’t she?” Rick said, looking at me with admiration. He tried to catch up with me, but I ignored him.“She’s nothing like they describe back at home,” she finally said casually. Her words made me stop in my tracks.“Excuse me?” I asked, turning around to face her.“What do they describe her as?” Rick asked curiously, standing beside me.“Well… they said she was fat and ugly and you only married her because your father threatened to remove you from his Will if you didn’t find a wife,” she said, as if it was no big deal.“Well, that’s refreshing,” I said, feeling shocked. I didn’t know that they despised me that much.“What was that?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.“Oh… nothing. I just didn’t think that you people hated me that much,” I said with a shrug. She had a sly smile on her face, as if she enjoyed my discomfort.“We don’t just hate you. We despise

    I scanned the room for a moment again, hoping to spot the elusive bug, but I still found nothing. “I can swear there’s a bug here,” I muttered under my breath, frustration evident in my voice. I placed my hands on my hips and sighed.“Oh well,” I said to myself with a shrug and walked over to my reading table. It was covered with books of all genres and topics, reflecting my passion for reading. I felt that the more I read, the better the person I became.I had no job ever since I married Rick. The only job I had was to be a housewife. I often cursed myself for not getting a job so at least something would keep me busy from his cheating nature.Luckily, I found solace in my books. Whenever he brought a woman home, I’d block out their noise with music in my ears and just read a book till I fell asleep.I couldn’t exactly do anything about it and I felt he did it effortlessly because we were in a contract marriage. I was the one who went and foolishly fell in love with that man.All tho

    “One of my properties in the state,” I replied casually, as if it was nothing.She stared at me for a few seconds, her mouth agape, then shook her head in disbelief. “What has been going on behind my back?” She said, laughing nervously. I joined her laughter, but mine was more confident and smug.“Oh… nothing. Just a little riches and properties here and there,” I said with a shrug, enjoying her reaction.“So your husband signed this house to your name then? Did you ask him for more houses, Jane?” She asked, putting her hands on her hips and looking at me accusingly.“No! Of course not!… I mean, of course he did sign this house to me, but the remaining places are my properties, not his,” I said in exasperation, rolling my eyes at her.“I’m sorry, Jane… am I missing something? How did you acquire those properties?” She asked incredulously, leaning closer to me.I burst out laughing at her curiosity and naivety. “Oh, Sheba, you never cease to amaze me. With your mind so shallow,” I sai

    “So how do we go about it, Jane? This brilliant plan of yours?” Sheba asked as I was packing my things. She just stood there, confused and worried, as she watched me throw my clothes into a suitcase. She couldn’t understand how I had made up my mind to move out of my husband’s house in just a matter of minutes.The truth was that I wanted to give my husband a reason for a divorce and I was going to use this as one of the many pieces of evidence that I needed to make sure I messed him up in the law court. He was a monster and I hated him with every fiber of my being.“Answer me and think this through. What about the other plans you hatched for him? How will they work without you in his life?” Sheba asked, trying to reason with me. She knew some of the things I had been doing behind his back to expose him and ruin his reputation. She was the only one who knew and supported me, even though she sometimes thought I was going too far.I ignored her and kept packing. I was angry because my h

    “Have you ever seen this Elizabeth before?” She asked me with a thoughtful expression. “She seems to be the latest of your husband’s many affairs.” I racked my brain, trying to recall the faces of the women who had shared my husband’s bed over the years.“You know, I don’t think I have,” I said, shaking my head. “But she doesn’t strike me as the type of woman my husband would bring home.” I dismissed the idea with a wave of my hand.“Oh? How so?” She leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.“Well, for starters, my husband rarely brought any women home. He preferred to keep his escapades outside, away from our family.”I paused, taking a deep breath. It was hard to talk about my husband’s infidelity, even with my sister. She reached out and squeezed my hand, giving me a sympathetic look.“Okay, I understand. And then?” She urged me gently.“Well, whenever he did bring women home, they were the ones he considered important to him. The ones he had some feelings for, or at least

    “Look at that! It’s almost time for dinner!” I exclaimed, glancing at the time on my phone. My sister gave me a puzzled look.“Since when did you ever keep a time for dinner?” She asked, checking her own clock.“Holy shit! It’s already 7pm?!” She shouted.“Yeah, I think we did a little too much bonding, sis. We didn’t even keep track of time!” I said, and she laughed.“Yeah, at least I can stay for dinner instead of going home to meet a very busy boyfriend,” she said thoughtfully.“Oh no, sis, I’m not the one hosting dinner. It’s Bianca and her husband, Henry,” I said, and she rolled her eyes.“Oh my God, Jane. What have you gotten yourself into this time?” She asked, groaning as I looked down at the floor.“Well, she invited me and I thought it would be nice to say yes to the invitation, Sheba. That’s all. Nothing much,” I said, and she placed her hand on her head to rub her temples.“Are you going alone?” She asked, and I shook my head.“No, I’m going with my husband. Why?” I asked,

    “Well! Now, we’re going to have to make a new round of chicken,” I said, groaning angrily while he chuckled and pointed toward the store room.“At least we have a whole island of them,” he joked and I nodded, slightly feeling guilty about wasting food.I had grown up to know that wasting food was not an option and here I was, abusing the gift of abundance. I needed to retrace my steps.“Why don’t we just order takeout?” I suggested and he pondered a while over it before he shrugged and looked me in the eyes.“What?” I asked and he shrugged. “Well, why do you want takeout?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. He was literally impossible.“Don’t give me that look! I just want to know why. I can cook the food if that is what it’s about,” he pressured but I was already having a headache as he kept going on and on.“I didn't know men talk a lot,” I spat and he looked at me with a surprised expression.“Okay, I’m only talking this much because I want you to be comfortable with me. I don’t want

    “Oh, I see. Well, it is hard for a guy to pass by you and not stare at you with his eyes or even make a passing comment. But that’s not what we’re trying to talk about here,” he said, noticing my uncomfortable look. “I’m sorry, okay? I just want to keep letting you know how beautiful you are and how lucky I feel to have you over. How lucky I feel that both of us are sharing the same house at the moment. How lucky I feel that I’m helping you with whatever it is that you need, okay? I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable near me. I want you to feel very comfortable because it’s going to be a long ride in the long run. But I need to remind you once in a while how crazy you drive me,” he said and I blushed again.“Okay, I’ve heard you. I’ve heard everything you said. Now, I guess it’s time to go and have dinner. Maybe. I’m starving,” I said to him as he nodded in agreement. “Of course, yeah, dinner. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed since I stayed with you. You make time go

    “Alright then, we can drive there right now,” David said with a mischievous grin. I looked outside and saw that it was already getting dark. I just wanted to smile and relax and wait, because obviously he couldn’t penetrate that safe. And I made sure that it was a high-quality safe that I laid my hands on while I was at UNI. You know, that woman who first gave me those original documents? She also gave me that safe. Nobody could crack it open, not even the best programmer in the world. It couldn’t even be blown up by a bomb. It was just a safe, just the way it was. So I was less bothered about that, but what I was a little bit bothered about was the fact that he would go in there and probably start taking all the furniture and all his clothes and all that.“Don’t worry, there’s no rush. Revenge, especially the sweet ones, take time. We’re going to go tomorrow. It’s already getting late. We should make something to eat and go to bed,” I said to him with a smile. He smiled back

    “Jane, Jane, relax.” David said, as he rushed towards me. He tried to hold my shoulders, because I looked like I was going crazy. Like I was going mad. And he was probably very afraid at that point, because I was acting batshit crazy. That I was going to injure myself or him. So he held me firmly in his arms and made me look at his eyes. His caring eyes.I said to him, with tears in my eyes, “All the assets, everything I worked my ass off for, everything is gone. I have searched everywhere. I have checked everything. Maybe I misplaced it. But no. Henry has betrayed me.” I said in the most heartbreaking voice you could ever imagine.I was so heartbroken, because I never would have done the same to Henry. But why did he do this to me? He had stolen from me. And I would not stop until I had stolen back from him.“I always knew Henry was shady for that thing he did. Of course, it had nothing to do with getting married to you or you being a terrible person to get married to. There were alw

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said, with a very nervous chuckle, as I tucked my hair behind my ears and faced forward, avoiding his gaze. But deep down, I knew he was right about what he was saying. I was just very afraid to admit the truth. He asked again, “Jane, look at me. We need all the information we can get if we’re going to get to the bottom of this. You don’t have to be afraid to release any information. You don’t have to be reluctant to do that, OK? I’m here, standing by your side. I’m always by your side and I will forever be by your side. Right now, we need all the information we can get. You’re the only one who can give us that information. Do you understand, Jane?” He asked, looking at me intently. I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed by emotions. I didn’t know how to feel at that point, because he was right. I knew so many things that could have made Henry make this decision of his. Or whatever it was. I knew quite a few things about why he may have lef

    “OK, so I have some detective friends who could also help out in your case, but I need your consent with everything. I promise you it’s not an affiliation with anybody, not your ex-husband, not your fiancé. You know I just really want to help, just in case you need backup. Is that OK with you?” He asked, his voice gentle and reassuring.I looked at him, feeling a surge of gratitude and affection.His eyes met mine, and I saw a flicker of something else in them. Something warm and tender, something that made my heart skip a beat.I almost wanted to jump up and hug him, but I had to comport myself because I was a lady. Oh, fuck it, I thought, and jumped up and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.“What was that for?” He asked, sounding surprised but pleased.I smiled shyly and pulled away slightly. “Well, you care about me more than anyone else cared about me ever since I lost my child. So I think you deserve more than that.” I said softly.He took my ja

    “Why don’t you call them to know what’s up?” He asked, looking at me with concern. I shook my head.“No, no, no, no. We already spoke about this. We discussed it. It’s OK. They will have to be the one to call me after the mission is complete. I can’t call them now. It would be destroying something in the mission.” I said, biting my lip nervously. I was already tapping my feet fast on the ground and grinding my teeth anxiously. Just remembering everything already brought a knot to my stomach and a lump to my throat. And I guess he noticed, because he reached out to my hands and took them in his. He rubbed them gently and gave me a reassuring smile.“It’s OK. I’m sure you’re going to get the text soon. But I need to ask you some questions. I don’t know if it will be OK for you to answer them for me.” He said and I looked at him. I hesitated a little bit, because I didn’t say I was going to trust anyone with the information that I had. But I was willing to give him a small chance. May

    “Oh, not so fast, David,” I said, holding up my hand. “Not so fast. You have to take it easy with all this flattery. I’m very quick to fall in love, haven’t you noticed that?” I teased him and he looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes. His smile matched his eyes, bright and warm. It was one of the most brilliant features about him. Was I falling in love again? I had just promised myself that I wouldn’t fall in love so quickly, but I couldn’t help it. This man was amazing. So good looking… Even more good looking than Henry and Rick combined. And I had a very high affinity for very good looking men. And to be honest, at that point, I didn’t really care. I just felt that I should live life and just be who I wanted to be, when I wanted to be, and how I wanted to be.“Oh, I have noticed,” he said, leaning closer to me. “We did have quite the chemistry there when I first walked into the room. When I got coffee with you, you know… I felt it. It was kind of obvious. But I didn’t think anyth

    I felt dizzy for a while because I was so confused. I was usually the one who said I love you first in all my relationships. I was usually the one who made the first move, probably because of my desperation. I hoped so much that this man wouldn’t see through my desperation, that he wouldn’t see how desperate I was to find somebody to love. But obviously, I was wrong because he saw it. Why would a man be telling me that he loved me on the very first day we met? And given the circumstances surrounding it, it was a big lie, at least in my ears. What did he mean by love at first sight?“Jane, Jane, did you hear what I said?” David’s voice woke me up from my little mini trance right there. I didn’t even realize that I had drifted off from the normal conversation that we were having. But in truth, I didn’t know what to reply to that because obviously, I didn’t love him. But I did have a little bit of liking for him. And if there’s anything I’ve learned over the past few months, it’
