EMILIO'S POVObviously, I would not argue my way through this one as clearly there was nothing a man in my state could do. I allowed the doctor to lead me away to the room where he insisted I needed rest. Samantha's aunties seemed like the next thing to family and even more, I loved the treatment they were giving me.Nevertheless, I would not argue at all. I just had one thing to do and that was of course to lay my head down and rest. She would be back regardless and I only needed to hope that she would not be taken away from me.Now, the sins I had committed against her were beginning to overwhelm me to an extent, I was actually beginning to consider having a confession session with a priest.Mon Dieu!!! I am evil.All this while, she must really be confused and worried about her inability to get a child after losing the first pregnancy which was all my fault.Perhaps, I shall have to tell you a little bit of what I had done that would mean that I deserve no forgiveness from either G
DOMINIC'S POVThe moment I heard the announcement, I knew just one thought in my head and that was to make a run for it or get caught. I could notice the other patients looking weirdly at me when I passed them and hence, I tried to guide my escape by flashing smiles at him. I suddenly lifted up my head to look and then I noticed how much closer I was to the doors that were slowly getting closed. I picked up pace.The security personnels were busy trying to stop people from getting through and I reckoned that this could be my last chance to escape.I had gotten near now. Near to my freedom and I would rather I make it out."There he is!!!" I heard the voice and turned to look over my shoulder.It was the bodyguards from my ward along with a team of doctors. I noticed how they were all focused on me as the confused bodyguards could not make out who exactly they were talking about as there were also a number of patients making their way to the door.Act natural...This was the only thing
EMILIO'S POVI could not believe those idiots! Just a few days of weakness and now they were already losing the very man they really should be watching over."And what are they doing to recover him?" I asked the bodyguard who had brought me the bad news. He looked quite scared to answer me."Sir... they are doing all they can but they lost track of him." He said to me,Anger filled my lungs, sinews and insides."They did what?" I demanded with a thunderous tone. The pain in my injuries shot straight up to my head, causing me to regret the sudden yet rapid movement."My apologies, Sir." The bodyguard said to me."What's happening?" The doctor came along now and I instantly realized how much I did not want to see him here."Go back inside, doctor. I need to sort things out." I said to him,"Sir, you employed me to make certain that you are okay and it's my job to make certain that is what happens. So please, I suggest your bodyguard here who seems to be aggravating you leaves." He said
EMILIO'S POVFrom the moment I had seen her, Ma'am Jacqueline gave me the heebie jeebies. She was really something and now seeing her here with her questioning look, I knew there was no getting out of this without the truth."Well boy, we do not have all day. Any moment from now and your wife with my talkative friend would walk in. Do not make me force it out of you." She said to me,"Okay but I just said I have no secrets. No guilt." I said to her,"Let me make this easier and clearer, I'm way older than you. Old enough to bare two of you and I have been with men in my life long enough to know when you hide guilt within ego. So tell me." She said again, looking more serious."I... I..." I could not bring myself to speak."Listen boy, how do they put it? This is a safe space and sooner we get this off your chest. The better." She responded."Fine but please, stop calling me boy." I said to her,"There it is, male ego. Always popping up and ruining the fun. Alrighty, man. Ready wheneve
EMILIO'S POV"You want to talk, right?" I demanded"Yes. Emilio. Just talk." He says over the phone."Then talk then." I said as I stood up and started walking towards the door.I needed to have my men at work instantly. We had to find Dominic before he would ruin things for me."Emilio, please I need my life back." He said to me,Well, that was not quite what I had been expecting for someone I had spent time torturing effortlessly.Perhaps, I had been expecting that he would call with threats and demands. He had awareness of every single thing I have been doing and a simple word from him could be my very own doing."Your life? Funny how you say it like I have it. If I had your life, how would you be talking to me?" I asked him.He seemed to take a moment to think before speaking again. I just opened the door and the bodyguard in front came to stand in front of me like a good old soldier awaiting his orders."Emilio, this isn't life and you know that. You'll never leave me be and that
SAMANTHA'S POVEmilio was at it again and this time he was acting weird and strange. I have been married to this man who has always been secretive and I can tell when he was brewing a brand new secret.I saw the look on the bodyguard that had come to speak to him and I could tell he had not been expecting to meet me in the room."Sam, you just returned from the market, how about that dragon fruit you promised me?" He asked me."Dragon fruit can wait. Emilio, who was he referring to? Is it someone I should worry about?" I asked him."Ah, absolutely not. It's nothing really. I don't want you getting worked up over nothing. Let's go for the fruit, eh?" He said quickly.Rather too quick because I could bet the hair on my head that this man was hiding something.Wait, were we suddenly back to the point where we keep secrets from each other again? Was this how he wanted to play it? Because trust me, it takes two to tango!"No. We're not doing this, okay? Not today and not ever again." I sai
EMILIO'S POVI should go after her. I knew I had to but the fact she had run away crying was too much to bear. I had finally said the truth and now, I felt like a complete demonic personality.I immediately called for the bodyguard outside and he rushed in, closely followed by the doctor who was at his heels."Sir, you called." The bodyguard said."Ask Alfredo to send the jet, we're going back right now." I said to him,"With all due respect, as your doctor I strongly advise against that." The doctor said,"And as the patient, I think you should back away." I stated."You don't get it, do you? You're in no shape to fly and I would suggest you get some rest. That wound would definitely not heal if you're going to keep aggravating it." He said to me,I stood there for a while, weighing in on his words. I took a glance at the bandage and then at him."What is the point of healing? I'm already done for." I said to him,"Is this about your wife, Sir? If that is what I think..." The doctor
SAMANTHA'S POVI had run to Ma'am Jacqueline's place in tears and upon reaching her house, she was sitting on her rocking chair right on the porch.As soon as I saw her, I blurted out," He's a monster."I mean, what other words could compare as to what he had done to me? He really hurt me so badly that this time, I had no idea if I would ever be willing to forgive him."Where is he?" She asked me."In the house." I said."He did not run after you?" She demanded."Don't you get it, he's a monster!" I yelled.Instead of speaking, Ma'am Jacqueline got up and started walking towards my house."Where are you going?" I called out to her."To have a little chat with our monster. You get inside and brew yourself a cup of coffee." She said, walking away.No way. This was not right. Was she actually serious or she was messing around with me? I had just told her what a monster this man was and she did not even care to find out what happened from me?Unless...No, there was no way in the world sh
SAMANTHA'S POVI walked in the hotel and was soon inside the elevator that took me upstairs where Zara was waiting for me.A few moments later and I was in front of the door, waiting for her to open by me she did not.Was everything okay?I called her again and it took a moment for her to pick."Yeah?" She asked."I don't know if you heard me earlier but I'm in front of the door." I said to her,"Oh, I know that." She responded."So, what's holding you?" I demanded."Anger." She responded.Seriously, this was all on purpose?"Zara, what has your anger got to do with opening the door?" I demanded."You left me here and goofed off to Tennessee at the mercy of... nevermind that. But buttomline is you didn't reach out to me." She responded.I had not missed the part of her asking me to not mind but I would certainly revisit that once I get inside."Zara, I'm sorry for the upteenth time." I said to her,"Sorry doesn't fix this." She responded."Does making me stand in front of the door lik
DOMINIC'S POVI opened my eyes and realised that I was strapped to a chair. I was in this damp and nearly dark room whose only illumination was from a half dead bulb.I realised that I was also gagged as a piece of clothing seemed to have been stuffed into my mouth and then another over my mouth.My hands were also bound behind me and then another set of ropes holding me in place on the chair.Taking in my surroundings now, I realised there were cartons of unknown stuff stacked around this place that was beginning to feel like a den for criminal stuff.Which if you ask me is not new for Emilio.I waited and soon realised now how uncomfortable I was. I could barely feel my fingertips and I needed to break free.I tried to make a sound but thanks to the gag stuffed in and over my mouth, only a muffled sound came out.I tried some more to make them louder but it was still the same.I needed to break free and explore these boxes to see what weapon I could find. I mean if this was a den, t
SAMANTHA'S POVI sat at the back seat of the car with my thoughts running quite deep and wide.Zara was already waiting for me at the hotel and we would be having company. A tear fell from my eyes as my thoughts were beginning to wander around the fact that Emilio had slept with Mariah.Of all persons, it had to be her. The young girl I had decided to help. Was there no limit to my dearest husband's sin?I mean, I could forgive a whole lot of things he keeps doing and throwing at me but this was way too much.The toxicity of my marriage was deafening and I needed more than cool down laps to settle this.I needed REVENGE!"Ma'am, we're here." The driver said to me,I had taken one of Emilio's younger bodyguards whom I could influence to take me in the Ford."Good. What's your name again?" I asked the youth.I was actually wondering when he had been hired as a dark thought fizzled up in my mind.I mean, if my husband was so capable of sleeping around with every Rom, Dick and Harry that
EMILIO'S POVI sat down feeling stressed already from all my activities on this day.It was all my fault and it took Alfredo staring at me from the rear view mirror for me to notice that we were not moving."Is there a precise reason why we are stopping?" I demanded."The traffic light, Sir." He responded.I looked up and realised we were at the intersection and were being halted by the red light."Ooh..." I muttered."Sir..." He called me again."Alfredo, what's it?" I demanded."You've been broody all day since we left the doctor's. Are you okay?" He asked me."Do I look like I'm anywhere close to being okay?" I asked him."Absolutely not but I know it's not my place..." He started and I felt offended."Yes. It's not your place." I responded."But we could both agree that I have more experience in this stuff than you do." He said.Wait, what was that right now? Was he indirectly trying to say he surpassed me in managing my home?I was beginning to feel angered."Thread with caution
EMILIO'S POVAll my hopes that I would slip through this one had just been shattered. Samantha definitely would not let this go and here I was, faced with either telling the truth or lying."Sam, she was sacked for being bad. Trust me when I say that she deserved it." I said to her,"I understand she did bad per say, I just want to know what exactly she did that had you sacking her." She said to me,Samantha had that look in her eyes like she was going to deal with me if I did not speak."Samantha, please." I said."So you're not going to tell me?" She asked me."Babe you need to understand..." I started to say."No. You don't have to." She said and I exhaled in relief."Really?" I asked her."Absolutely. Because, I would just ask her myself." She said and turned to reach for her phoneWhat? No way!That would spell doom for me and the fact that she would ruin everything for me."No...no...no!!! It's fine. I'll tell you." I said rather quickly.I had to tell her and the heavens help m
SAMANTHA'S POVFinally after such a long while, Emilio was finally fit to travel although with a sling. Every attempt by the doctor to have him keep that hand in place has always been in vain, hence the sling.Trust me, Emilio did not find that funny in one bit. Nevertheless , he had to agree.In the two where we had stayed here, I had seen him cling to Ma'am Jacqueline like a son would his mother. He formed a sort of friendship with Joey although I knew that was all because Joey had someone now.I have never seen George or Kourtney since the hotel scene. I mean, they sure as hell deserved each other.Ma'am Jacqueline had grown so fond of my husband whom if we all could reckon, she detested at first."You'll come visiting, right?" Lady Florence asked."Hell yes, they do. Or I'll smack the hell out of them." Ma'am Jacqueline threatened lovingly."We would. At every chance we get." Emilio responded."And you'll be good to our Samantha?" Lady Florence asked yet again."Absolutely. I have
HAILEY'S POVPeople would always say to stay away from things that are not yours but I knew it would only be a moment before Emilio would be mine.I was already successfully pregnant and now I had the very ammunition to get into his life forever.I had a couple of friends in the club and everyone attested that he was not around. In fact, it could be speculated he was out of town.Another good friend of mine that was in a relationship with one of his bodyguards said she heard he was ill or injured. It was hard to say whichever it was.However, I had every reason to believe it was the fault of his bitchy wife and her desire to ruin him. Probably, it was because he found love with me and the heavens alone knows what she has on him.Emilio loves me and just me alone.Samantha was the intruder.But not for long. I would fight for him because I deserved all that wealth and affluence.I was getting ready today to get to the doctor's as I had an appointment. From there, I would go pick up one
MARIAH'S POVI spent the night after Marco had left browsing on how to someone and get away with it. I also did a little search on getting rid of a body after murder.Trust me, the more I searched, the darker my thoughts became. I had no idea that I could be this dangerous except now that my freedom had been threatened.I could not let him assume control over me because knowing Marco, soon, he would want to start pimping me out like he did with his girlfriends.He might have promised to keep my secret but he was unstable like a waving flag. He would use me up and whenever he feels he has no further use for me or he gets bored, he would have my elder brother down here.I feel restless now.I had caused more than enough arm to Madam Samantha and her husband. She might not know yet but it was still going to be really bad when it happens.Or should I just move again? I mean, even after furnishings and stuff, I still had a pretty much decent amount of cash sitting in my bank account which
TOM'S POV"Woman, you're scaring me right now." I said to Zara for the second time since she got off that call.Her emotions were a mixture of both excitement and danger. I was beginning to wonder what Samantha had told her."You're scared darling?" Zara asked me."Absolutely." I responded."Does that entail that you did something wrong in any form?" She asked me."Absolutely not. You know me, sweetie. I would not hurt a fly." I said, smiling to show impact."Right. You wouldn't but your friend would." She pointed out."My friend?" I asked her."Yeah. Do you remember him? He used to be married to my friend, then they broke up and now married again. The friend you were coming up with while I was unconscious." She explained.I know right from the start that she was referring to Emilio and man, if I set eyes on that dude, I would kill him.Upon waking and realising how we made up, Zara was really angry. She had been expecting me to put up more fights before settling with him.Like I mean
