I immediately pulled out my phone and recorded the scene. At that point, the people in the room were begging. It was my sister’s husband. The same man we called severally to come pick his wife up. Is that how he usually behaved with her? Has my sister been hiding how shitty her husband is too?
“Lying bastards,” I spat to him, the lady who was with him and my husband, Rick. Oh, how I wasn’t even moved by seeing my husband there. It was very normal and usual to see him. He wasn’t even begging. But I was indeed shocked to my marrows to see Vincent, my sister’s husband.“Wait, wait, Jane, don’t tell Sheba please,” he pleaded and I let out a very loud cackle.“What do you take me for? Like who exactly do you think I am? Not to tell my sister about how shitty you are? You must be mad,” I scoffed, still holding my phone up, recording.“It’s the work of the alcohol, I was drunk. I’m still drowsy from all the drinking and partying, it’s just an honest mistake, Jane please, don’t,” he pleaded, holding the sheets up to his private parts so I wouldn’t see but I laughed at the scene.“So you’re still drunk, yet you know that I am recording you now and you don’t want to get in trouble with my sister? So you are drunk and you realize you’re naked and that’s why you’re covering yourself up? So you’re drunk and you drove yourself all the way to my house, parked carefully at my garage!” I snapped at him while he started sobbing.“Jane, please. I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me,” he pleaded with my phone still in my hand.“Oh come of it! But why my house? My house of all places and with my husband? You have the full loaded audacity to come to my house to have a threesome with my husband?” I yelled and he was already whimpering, while I could notice the lady from the corner of my eye getting bored of the drama already.“I’m sorry Jane,” he muttered amidst sobs.“I thought you were on my side Vincent! Always acting like you’re a fucking saint! Always there to console me alongside my sister whenever my shit hole husband here hit me!” I yelled, crossing my arms under my breasts, taking time to have a good look at the three of them one by one.“What a shame,” I muttered, more to myself but I didn’t care if they heard me.I was embarrassed to say the least. I was embarrassed at what my household was turning into. My husband would bring in ladies at his leisure and embarrass me in my own house and now, Vincent?I made to leave the room and no body moved an inch, it was as though they were waiting for my next line of action. I just shook my head and left the room. I walked out to the living room and found my sister sleeping peacefully on the couch. She was snoring. Of course. I decided to let her lay on the couch while I went upstairs to get a duvet and a pillow for her. While I made sure she was comfortable, I looked at my beautiful sister’s face.“No body deserves these kind of husbands Sheba,” I whispered, caressing her head while tears rolled down freely from my face.I hadn’t noticed any movement coming from the room and none of them had left so I ran upstairs to my drawer and brought out my pistol.“These people really think I’m playing or that old Jane. I’ll blow some heads off tonight!” I said, angrily flying down the stairs till I got to the guest room.I caught them at it again. “Do you people ever learn?!” I yelled corking the gun and pointing it at them.“I’m sorry! We’ll leave now!” The lady spoke up, shaking and trying hard to put on her clothes as quickly as she could.“Get out!” I yelled, the gun still pointing at them.“Jane, calm down. Put the gun down,” Rick spoke up and those were the first words he said to me since I got back.“You wouldn’t want to hurt anyone so put the gun down,” he said slowly while he wore his own clothes looking at me as though he was trying to prevent me from harming him.“Oh come on Rick, if I were to pull this trigger, I would pull it in your direction and guess where I would aim for huh? You guessed right! I would aim for your fucking balls you fucking idiot!” I snapped and first, the girl ran as fast as she could past me and through the living room to get to the door while my husband and Vincent were still looking at me.“It doesn’t have to be this way Jane,” he said, with his hands up in the air. I was sure I looked very pissed and would actually pull the trigger but I wasn’t about to enter a case with the police so I held back as much as I wanted to ruin his manhood.“Rick! Look at what you do to me! The disrespect, the hitting! The cheating! I know I’m a contract wife but at least show some fucking respect! But no, you were a complete idiot before I even married you! I should have seen that. But I ignored those red flags!” I put the gun down slowly, putting it in my back pocket.“You, get out out!” I pointed at Vincent asking him to leave and he whimpered, running out like a little child, into the living room, then a while after, I heard the entrance door close up.I took one last long glare at Rick and all I could do was to shake my head. Maybe he needed therapy or deliverance from his extreme obsession with stupidity. I walked carefully out of the room, checked on my sister on the couch and she was good then walked up the stairs and into my bed room.As I lay on my bed, flashbacks of the union between Rick and I, started to hunt me.……….………..“What are you doing in my home?!” I thundered, catching Rick for the first time with a woman on our matrimonial bed. I had just gotten back from a visit to my sisters. And Rick and I had just made love the previous night. He had promised me the world, he had promised me he would change. But I was still seeing the same version of him before me and even worse. That was the umpteenth time he had promised me of a change. What was I thinking believing him all of those times? Or was that what it was? Maybe I just decided to ignore the fact that he wasn’t mine or maybe it was something more.“Get out! Both of you!” I charged at the both of them but Rick wasn’t having it. “Jane! Stop this bullshit! Leave us alone now!” He thundered and I stood there like a hopeless sheep in the woods. Did he just disrespect me in the presence of his mistress? Was it a crime to love someone? Did he just ask me to leave the both of them in my matrimonial bed?“In case you have forgotten so quickly Rick, t
My sister was always an early riser while me, well I was just me. The incidents of the previous night just flashed like a movie in my head. I slowly got up from my bed, caressing my head because I had a terrible headache from my hangover. I was quite surprised my sister was up and doing that morning.“Hey, Jane. Good morning,” she cooed, smiling like a butterfly that had enough nectar.“Good morning Sheba,” I said, smiling dryly and slowly getting up from my bed weakly and trying to process what was going on that morning“Come, get up. You always wake up late! I thought you’ve let go of that habit,” she said, tapping my feet which made my eyes a bit clearer to look around my room and it was an absolute mess.“Sheba, I’ve got a huge headache. Please allow me to sleep for god’s sake!” I whined, slumping back into my bed.“Not on my watch missy!” She yelled grabbing me by my left leg and dragging me all the way off my bed.“Hey! I don’t want to fall!” I yelled, supporting myself with my
“No no Jane,” she persisted, getting up from her seat and making me sit down. She offloaded the tray and nudged me to eat.“You have to eat first, so you won’t pass out. You haven’t eaten in days!” She yelled and I instantly felt really bad for her. She’s a very good and kind person and didn’t deserve this happening to her. I thought of over a million ways I could convey the message to her but it just wasn’t working. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I couldn’t bring myself to deliver such terrible news. But I needed to let her know. Just hopefully, she wouldn’t be as delusional as I was in my marriage.“The food wasn’t cooked to be stared at now,” she pressed. She walked over to my bed and sat on the edge with a coffee in her hand. I was sure she wasn’t going to leave until I had eaten something. I took a quick look at my sister. Beautiful woman with short red hair. Her curves bulging out through that black trouser she wore with a red peplum shirt. She had a little tattoo on the back
..................“No! You don't understand. I need you. I need you by my side all the time!” I pleaded with Rick. We had just graduated high school and it was time for us to part ways. Rick and I were high school sweethearts. We won couple of the year every single year till we graduated high school. I just didn’t understand why he wanted to move to a different city.“I know that beautiful. But my life is in France, pursuing art. We will still talk. We’ll still keep in touch. Our love won’t ever die,” he said cupping my face in his hands. I was already ruining my mascara with the tears pouring down from my face. He had invited me out to dinner with the text that read, “We Need To Talk.”I thought my love life with him was over and I was head over heels for him. I didn’t want to lose him to any woman at all. “You know that’s not possible. You know it’s impossible to keep up with loving you from so far. Who will get me flowers? Who will I hug and kiss when it’s winter? Who would I fuck
“Well, it’s just my mother. I told her we were getting married,” I said, afraid to complete the sentence, scared of what he was going to say or how that day was going to turn out. At that point, he was already unpacking his grocery while I stood by the kitchen counter, fiddling with my top. That used to be my favorite top at that moment. But it quickly became the most disgusting thing I’d ever worn because of the memories that came with the top.“Okay, great. What did she say?” He asked, kind of excited and I felt bad for what I was about to say but I had to say it anyways so I took a deep breath and out.“Well, she doesn’t approve,” I said and held my breath for a moment, waiting for a reaction but I saw none. “Did you hear me?” I repeated to know if he was actually listening.“Oh yea, I heard you, baby,” he said absentmindedly as he still rummaged through the grocery as though he was searching for something. “Shit! I forgot the sardine,” he spat but I was concerned that he had nothi
“Please… please, I’m so sorry. I just didn’t want to let you go! I was afraid!” I cried, tears pouring down freely from my eyes and down to the ground. He didn’t look like he was going to forgive me. I knew what I did was grave but I did it for love.“And that was the best way? Really Jane! Of all ways you could think of, that was the best way?” He thundered while I shook my head violently. He already picked up a knife to cut the pickle he had bought to make a sandwich for the both of us.“Look, I did it for us. I did it for love. Please don’t be like this baby,” I said and he shot me a very stern stare, I froze and was unable to utter any more words.“You know, all this was just a test to see who really cared for me and didn’t,” he started and I didn’t mutter a thing, I just let him finish.“Did you really think I’d leave my phone at home with you and head to the grocery store? Did you really think that I would invite you to my house out of the blue? What exactly were you thinking hu
Remember when I said I was going to allow the future to decide how chaotic my life choices would be? Yes, I did.“I got it!” I said, staring into my laptop that rainy afternoon. I had finally gotten to my house. I wasn’t in the mood to interact with anybody. “Eeww what happened to you?” I jammed my sister in the lobby. Of course, I completely ignored her. However, I shot her a very stern stare before I opened the door to my room and shut it behind me. “Weirdo,” I could hear her curse me from outside my door. I dropped the bag I was carrying like I was helpless and slid down my door with my face cupped in my hands. I couldn’t let tears stream down my face again because I was really cold and I cried all through the walk home. I was shivering yet I really couldn’t do much about it because the pain I felt in my heart surpassed all kinds of feelings. “Jane, are you okay?” I could hear my mom knock on my door from outside. I immediately got alarmed and shot up from the ground where I sat,
……………I opened my eyes slowly and everything was hazy and blurry. My head was banging with a serious headache and my tongue was really dry, I was so thirsty. I tried moving my fingers and I had no idea if they moved because so much pain and discomfort shot through my body like an electric shock.“Doctor! She’s awake!” I heard a voice shout from the background and I tried looking around to see where I was. I was in a hospital. “Doctor? What the fuck happened?” I muttered under my breath. I tried getting up and sitting up slowly on the bed but I was in so much pain and I was really thirsty so I decided to wait for whomever to get to my theatre.“Hi, Mrs Jane,” the doctor said, excitement beaming in his voice and I slowly turned my neck to the left side of the bed where he stood. I carefully opened my eyes to look at his face and my vision was finally clearing up.“Hi, can I get some water?” I said in a raspy voice and the doctor ordered a nurse to get some clean drinking water for me. “T
“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’
