“I never lied to you, I never did” He turned and said to me while looking into my eyes“I know” I replied, nodding my head“I wish I could take this all back, but I can't so-” He dropped his hands slowly as he said this to me“I know you can’t say anything, I don’t even know what the fuck am saying but I mean it, I will give her anything she wants as long as I can have you” He said but I just sat there looking at him and thinking, If only I can see through him, I would know if he meant what he just said. If only.“She’s going to sue me for it and have me disbarred” I said to him softly“What can I do to stop her?” He asked and I was silent just looking into his eyes“What can I do to help?” He asked again but I kept my silent“I would go back to her like you wanted me to, I would do that” He suggested and I just nodded my head in agreement“Thank you” I said to him feeling that's something we both can agree on considering the circumstances“But I won’t be able to see you anymore” He a
I picked up the phone and answered the call“It’s Ana’s assistant, Rose” I said to Clara who’s with me after hearing the voice of the person I was speaking to. I could hear her voice shaking as she narrated an incident in Ana’s salon, that a woman attacked and shot at Ana inside the salon.“What? Is she okay?” I asked over the phone and Clara looked at me surprised“We are at the hospital” Rose said “The one closest to the salon” She added"What about the shooter?" I asked"We called the police and they took her away" she replied“Alright, I will be coming over now” I said to her before ending the call“She said some woman shot at Ana’s in her saloon” I said to Clara who has been waiting to know what's going on then I got up to go dress up. After a while I came out ready to leave then Clara requested to go with me and I accepted. We rushed into the hospital like we were been chased by a ghost“We are here to see Ana” I said to the nurse at the front desk“And you are?” The nurse aske
I walked over to where Mia and Clara were standing waiting for me“Are you okay Ana” Mia asked me“Yes I am, let’s go now” I repliedMia and Clara took me home, they bought something for me to eat on our way to my place, I pushed myself to eat as soon as we got in, I took the drugs given to me by the doctor, Clara and Mia made sure of that. After hours of talking, it was almost dark and the atmosphere was calm, Clara woke me up“I have to go now” Clara whispered to me calmly, Mia heard her voice and got up from the seat where she was sleeping“Really? You can still stay a bit more” Mia suggested to Clara in a sleepy tone“No, we can do this another time okay, I still have some work to get done” Clara replied“Alright, I will see you tomorrow” Mia replied, I laid down to listen to them motionlessly and Clara picked up her things and left. After some hours Mia had to go too since she had something to attend to and work the next dayMia’s POVI got home from Ana’s house very tired and st
It was around 10:30pm when I got to the club, I put on a sexy gown, tried to look my best and have a good time. When I got to the entrance of the club there was a queue, I was asked to stand outside with the others because some persons already rented the club and doesn’t want anyone inside the club without their permission.“Bun you can let me into the club, you know that right, you know me and I am a regular here” I said to the bouncer at the door to the club“No ma’am, I can’t, I am under strict instructions to abide by the guest list” Bun said to me in an uncomfortable manner While I was still busy begging Bun to let me into the club, this young man came over, whispered something into Bun’s ear and he opened the door for the young man“Why don’t you come in with me” The Man said to meHe is tall, mascular charming and has this evil sexy smile. I wouldn't have gone in with a stranger under normal circumstances but I really need to get in there. I didn't dress up and come all the wa
I got there and Mia wasn’t in, I remembered I had one of her spare keys with me so I took it out, opened the door and let myself in. I went straight to the fridge and got out a bottle of wine. After about ten minutes of drinking, Mia walked in dressed all hot and sexy. I turned my seat towards her while sipping from my glass of wine. Mia startled the moment she turned around and saw me sitting there“Oh my... you scared me” She screamed in shock placing her hand on her chest then she smiled after some seconds"Oh damn. Sorry about that" I said “Where have you been, Mia?” I asked her after dropping my glass of wine on the table“What are you now, my mum?” Mia asked me, then she walked up to the fridge, she got a wine glass, and she came to sit down beside me“I tried to text you first” I said to her“I left my phone at home” She replied“Why?” I asked anxiously“Girl you know why” She replied“You know he would call and text and you don’t want any of that now?” I asked Mia and she nod
After work, I checked my phone to see Ben's text. He texted me the address and time 'deVuage bar, 9pm'. It's a popular and very expensive bar in the city, just my type. 'Good job Ben' I muttered to myself the I packed up and left. I drove home straight to freshen up and get dressed before coming out to meet him. I picked out a short red dress, it was a bit tight so it helped bring out my curves and my boobs were all in the way. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt satisfied, I did a little makeup, put on some perfume and was ready to move out.When I arrived at deVuage bar, I saw him already seated and waiting looking all charming, he was drinking alcohol from his glass. I stood there and studied him for a while before I went over to the table"I hope I didn't keep you for long" I said while sitting down"No you did not and even if you did, it's worth it. You look amazing" he complimented"Thanks, you look good yourself" I replied blushing "Just good?" He asked gesturing at his
"Oh heck no!" I screamed once I saw Liam and jolted off the bed dragging the bedsheet with me as a cover"What is the meaning of this?!" He spat at meI shivered from the tone of his voice"Hey man am B—" Benny started extending one hand for a handshake and using the other to to hold on to his cloth wrapped around his waist, I could still see his ass from where I was standing, they were cute"Don't hey man me and yeah I know who you are, i heard your name all the way from the outer door, Ben" he snared and Ben gently withdrew his extended hand"Why are you here Liam?" I question still angry he didn't let me finish before bringing his drama, I was really close 'fuck!'"What do you mean why am I here? who the heck is he and why is he here?" He retorted"Hey man, you don't have to sound so rude" Ben said to LiamLiam made to attack Ben but I quickly got in-between them"Liam stop it!" I yelled"You need to leave right now" he said to Ben angry"Liam this is my house" I said to him"And I
The next day, I prepared and left for work. When I arrived, my secretary came to me and informed me that there was a meeting going on with the partners and it might be for me, she also said I was needed there. I wondered what the fuss is about, I went into my office to drop my purse before heading to the conference room. On stepping in my eyes met Liam's and his wife was by his side. My heart skipped and pounded so loud in my ear. What is the meaning of this? What were they doing here, both of them? Whatever this is, I know it's not good news, it's trouble."Well, hello miss Mia, how nice of you to join us. We have been waiting for you" Ms. Jones said with a smirk on her face"Have a seat Miss Mia" Edward my boss saidI quietly sat down, waiting for the ticking bomb to blow up. I convinced Liam to go home and make nice with his wife so that I can keep my job not for them to join forces and come here to still get my fired and disbarred. Was this about yesterday when he saw me and Ben
Mia's PoVThe next morning I prepared and headed to the office, I had a plan and the plan was to expose my boss for who he truly is and what he has truly done. I know he is smart enough not to implicate himself so I have to be very crafty with this. I need to push the call ight buttons or all is lost. I don't have the evidence the P.I gave me with me anymore since they were confiscated by the police after Liam dragged me into his mess once again. I have to be really smart about this actually because I do not have any other plan, if this doesn't work, I don't know what next to do. I have just one shot and I plan on making good use of it. I took a taxi to the office, ones I entered the premises, I told my secretary to let Mr. Edward know am here and that I want to meet with him. After she made the call, she told me that he said to send me in, which I know he wouod,. He must have been curious as to what brought me back here with everything that is going on in my life right now which am
"He said one thing at a time and promised everything is going to be alright" I said sitting down on the couch and stretching out my legs. It's been a really long day and my legs are aching badly. A massage would be such a bad idea right now. I desperately need one"Ana, do you think am stupid?" I asked"What? No, not at all" she answered quickly and I smiled"You are a good friend and I know you love me but I need an honest answer this time please" I said to her"Mia, you are the smartest woman that I know, I don't think you are stupid, you just made some wrong choices that's all and hell, who doesn't at some point?" She said"I'm not so sure about the smart part" I said as I started to get emotional again and tears started to line up"Mia, opening your heart to someone doesn't make you stupid, you were in love, it's not something that you can control, we can't control who we love" she said in a sweet voice"I don't know, I feel really stupid, I feel so empty" I said sobbing"Hey stop
"Liam took me there to see a building, he wanted me to start up private practice there, to start my own firm in the middle of nowhere. His wife said some things about him being an isolator and a control freak and am seeing that now"This is bad Mia" she said taking a sip from her glass then her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number. She picked up"Hello, who is this?" She asked"Hi Ana, this is Liam" he replied "It's Liam" she said to me"What?" I asked coming closer and whispering to her to put it on speaker"How the hell did you get this number?" she asked him"I just spoke to my lawyer, we really need to talk to Mia, it's really important, is she there with you?" He asked ignoring Ana's question"No she is not, whatever you want to tell her, you can tell it to me, i will just pass it on later" she said to him"I know you don't know me like that but I promise I didn't do all these things am being charged for, am innocent. It's just my wife and her lawyer that is doing all th
Mia PoVWhen we got to Ana's place, I sat down like someone whom the body was present but the mind was absent. Ana went over to her fridge and got out a bottle of alcohol and two glass cups. We came over to the couch and dropped them on the table then poured out the drinks into the two cups, and slide one my way as she took up her own glass and drank from it, a slight frown appeared on her face as she did"Are you going to tell me what happened now?" She said taking another sip"He was laundering money and dealing with really dangerous people" I said still sitting still"What? Mia did you know about this?" She asked surprised"No, I did not. You know I can never involve myself in something like that. Why would you even ask that" I said looking at her"Then why are they in your house and taking all your stuff?" She asked still doubting that I didn't know anything at all about the crimes "He asked me to move some money into my account but that was to keep it away from his wife, not bec
Ana's PovI drove over to Mia's place after she said not to come pick her again, I waiting for over an hour but she didn't come in, so I went across the street to get dinner but when I came back up the door was unlocked and wide open and there were police all over the place tossing everything around and moving things. I was so shocked I thought I went to the wrong room, but looking inside I realized I didn't go to the wrong room, I am at the right room, all of Mia's properties were there and the police officers were just touching everything."What the heck? What is going on here?" I asked as one police officer rushed out to stop me from entering the premises "is Mia inside that house?" I asked the police officer but before he was able to respond, Mia showed up, she was coming from the stairs and has no idea about all of this."You again?" She said to the police officer that came out to stop me from entering the place, I guess they know each other or have met at least"What the hell is
"Good news, he accepted to let you meet with him, he should be here any second" he said and I breathed out in relief and my face brightened up"Thank you" I said happy he did me the favour"Sure" he said. Then the door opened up and another officer led Liam into the room in handcuffs. I should really get used to seeing him like this since it's now happening more often. After the other officer brought him in, he left the room"I will let you two talk" the nice officer said before leaving us both alone in the room and closing the door behind him"Hey, listen" Liam started but I could wait for him to talk not after what he put me through today and all the things I found out about him"What the fuck Liam" I said upset"Look, listen to me. It's my wife and her lawyer lover, they are the ones setting me up, they are the ones doing all this. I can tell you I didn't do anything. They had all this planned out" he said desperately"Do you know how worried I was, when those guys carried you, I
"Look the charges are all legit" he said apologetically but still confident"You should know that his wife is really on to him, she could have plotted all of this, believe that woman is crazy, I wouldn't put it pass her, maybe you should be focusing on her instead torturing me" I said upset"No, this isn't his wife. He has been doing this for a very long time now, even before he met her,tl this one is on him not her" he said"Okay I think am gonna go" I said getting off the car seat but he got off the driver's seat and stopped me "Please just calm down, I know this is a whole lot for you but being angry about it isn't going to make it go away and besides where are you going to go?" he said to me"No am not upset about what you are telling me, I guess am just angry at myself for not figuring it out on time. You think you know someone but–shit!" I said with a mixed feeling. This is just all too much"Hey listen, you know I really can drive you back to the city, instead of sitting here
Once he heard my reply, he parked by the side of the road and got down from his car"Hey, are you okay?" He said coming toward me, I became scared and alert I took some steps backwards to put a space between us at least to give me a headstart if something should happen. What is he is a psychopath or a kiddnapper or a killer? There were many things running through my mind and my insecurities set in. If anything should happen to me here, nobody will know because Liam drove me out here very early in the morning, I didn't get the chance to call or tell anybody where I was headed and now I am left here no phone, absolutely nothing on me but my cloth"Obviously not" I said still suspicious"Well, did your car break down somewhere? I can help you to fix it, I am not a mechanic but I know a few things" he said nicely. How is he so nice, it's awkward I thought to myself"No" I said keeping my eyes on him and studying him"In that case, can I give you a ride back to wherever?" He asked"Do you
It was a building, a complete building. I did not know if I show uod get excited or not. "Liam what is this?" I asked a little confused"It's a building, you can start your firm here. I mean it looks a little bit old, we can fix it up a bit" he said smiling. I stood there still confused, why would I want my firm an hour away the city? Was he joking and I specifically told him I don't want to go private"It fit the profile perfectly, it's spacious has all the equipments and fittings intact, you will love it, let's just take a look inside" he continued"Liam, we didn't talk about this, you didn't think this is something you should have mentioned to me before now? Instead of driving us out here this early?" I asked a little upset"Just wait a second okay, let's go take a look inside first, am sure you will love it" he said. I just felt that he wasn't hearing me"I'm a city girl, I love the city, I don't want to be here Liam, out alone here in the middle of nowhere?. All my friends are i
