“OK, shoot. Tell me what I need to do,” she said, clasping her hands. She looked like a child waiting for a candy.I smiled and turned to face her. I lowered my voice and said, “I need you to threaten her. Oh, wait, no. Better still, I need you to kidnap her,” I said with a wicked grin. I saw her eyes widen and her mouth drop open. She looked scared and shocked, but I wasn’t going to hear a no for an answer. I was a very ruthless person, but I couldn’t carry out any of my tasks myself. I needed somebody who was well capable of doing that. And I needed Bianca out of the way, so I could make my move on her husband, regardless of what my gym instructor had told me.“So, are you in or out?” I asked, putting some pressure on her. “Remember, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can have everything you ever dreamed of, if you help me and I can be very nasty, if I want to.”“I get what you’re saying, but what I don’t understand is why you want me to go that far. To kidnap her? I mean
“Fuck you. Why didn’t you tell me that there are cameras in this room? Where are they?” I asked, standing up in panic. There was every possibility that my husband may have heard or seen what was going on and he would prepare ahead of time for it. And I didn’t want anybody to mess up my plans.“What did I tell you that I would do to you when I find out you’re not being loyal?” I asked her, threateningly. She just kept shaking like a little baby, trying to protect herself so that I wouldn’t hit her or do anything bad to her. “I swear, I-I didn’t know how to tell you. I’m sorry. You can take the cameras down. I know a way. I know where we can erase them from his phone so he won’t see it,” she said, pleadingly. I hissed and clenched my teeth. “Oh, my goodness. Are you fucking stupid? What if he has seen it already? He’s with his phone. We don’t have a chance,” I said, angrily. She looked at me with a very scared expression. I was already feeling sorry for her, but my plans were about to
So I finally finished my skincare and decided to slip into some pajamas just to be comfortable while I slept that night.I decided to go with my bum shorts which were also of very lightweight material and the matching top that went with it. I felt really comfortable and got into my duvet. I turned off my lights and called it a night. But before I closed my eyes, I checked my phone one last time. I had a missed call and a text message from Landry. He wanted me to come to his office first thing in the morning. He said it was urgent.What could be so urgent that Landry couldn’t wait till morning to text me? And why was he texting me by 1 AM in the morning? A shiver ran down my spine as I saw his name flash on my screen. I looked at the call and it was Landry, but I didn’t want to pick it up. So I just had to ignore it because I was really really sleepy and very tired and I just wasn’t in the mood for any calls at that point. But the call kept persisting and I knew that it was very import
I drove silently to the hospital, the only thing on my mind was how I was going to do it alone. I had literally nobody to speak to, because at that point I didn’t trust anybody, not even my sister. I was trying so hard to make sure that none of this blew up and I was going to see it to the end. I parked my car in the lot and walked straight to his office. I knocked on the door and a minute later he opened it and looked at me with a bright smile. “Hello, Jane,” he said as he left the door open for me to enter inside.I walked into his office with my chin held high and my chest out. I went and sat down on the chair without him asking me to. I was trying to give him an attitude for not checking up on me all this while. “So, start speaking. I don’t have all day,” I said with a smug attitude as he chuckled lightly and walked behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. “Can’t you at least say hi or that you miss me?” he asked with a romantic voice, massaging my shoulders a little. I a
“What?” he asked, looking at me inquisitively. I shrugged, squinting my eyes and staring at him. “What do you mean, what?” I asked, still giving him that smug expression. Then he rolled his eyes and took a deep breath in and out. “Look, listen, Jane. I know you’re giving me the impression that you don’t want to speak to me and honestly I don’t know why. But I called you here this very moment so you’ll be sure of the kind of things you’re dealing with, OK?” he said, sounding serious. I nodded. “OK, fine, cool,” I said.“Good. Now, may I continue to speak?” he said and sounded a bit rude to me. But I did want to know exactly what he was talking about, so I had to agree.So I shrugged and nodded. “That’s fine. Talk to me,” I said and he smiled and sat back down on his chair.“Good. Now, like I said, Patrick is a very big liar and he just wants your inheritance. So what he did was lie about your husband getting a vasectomy and cooked up the bullshit story about you not being able to have
“Really, are you okay, Landry?” I asked, concern etched in my face. I sprang up from my chair and extended my hands to caress his face. He looked pale and bruised, as if he had been in a fight. I turned his face to the left and right, so that I could examine his injuries. I knew too damn well that even if they did something to him, he wouldn’t tell me. He probably believed that I was weak and I couldn’t really do anything about it. But I wasn’t, and I was going to deal with whoever that touched Landry, anytime, any day.“I’m fine, I swear,” he said defensively, as he finally brushed my hands off his face. I looked at him with a smirk, not buying his lie. “You’re fine, really? Then why did you have to push my hands off your face?” I asked, slightly offended. I wondered where our romance had gone. It was actually a very long time since we got together and spent quality time together. I know I told him that I wanted to stop, but deep down inside, I wanted everything to continue. I wanted
Everything sounded so funny to me, just because it was Landry who was saying it. I never saw him as somebody who was very religious, but there was something he said that stuck with me, which was when he mentioned God. My face suddenly turned blue, remembering my past experiences and even the times I had to turn to God for help, but he never really did. Not come to think of it, my life was starting to change, and if it wasn’t God, then I wondered who it was that was so loving, so kind, so merciful to make tables turn in my favor.“Why did I just hear you say God?” I asked, with widened eyes, glaring at him like a cat would glare at you in the middle of the night. “Yes, I said God,” he said, more confidently this time, but he swallowed hard and I noticed he was tapping his feet quickly on the floor and his hands occasionally on the table, indicating that he was sort of nervous, probably because of me, because of the topic we were talking about. But I couldn’t blame him anyways, so I had
“Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this conversation I’ve had with you has impacted my life. It has made me see things from a whole different level and just thank you. I know what to do now,” I said, feeling a surge of gratitude. Landry smiled at me and said, “Well, I wish you all the best with your divorce with your husband. And if you ever need a second husband,” he chuckled and I laughed, “you know you can always come to me.” He said it as a joke, but I could see the sincerity in his eyes. “It’s fine. I will consider coming to you,” I said, playing along. I stood up from the couch in his office and walked towards the door. He followed me and gave me a hug that lasted for what seemed like minutes, but it was just a few seconds. His cologne hung in the air like a pungent smell. It was a very beautiful smell, but very tempting as well. And I didn’t want to be tempted to do anything stupid, so I had to break off the hug and turn around. “Goodbye, Landry. You have other i
