Chapter Three

Ever since Delilah slipped into a coma the Ekalot business was handed over temporarily to her next of kin, Dimitri. Fiona, Delilah's twin sister was supposed to have had the business passed to her since she was in fact the second offspring but Fiona was nor serious about the family business and Delilah removed her sister from getting access to the business, she gave Fiona an allowance so she could keep up with her spending but it was never enough. Fiona seemed to overspend no matter how much her allowance was budgeted.

Delilah takes off her reading glasses, her finger tip massages her forehead. Since she finally returned to her office she's been going through the budget left to Dimitri's care due to her absence.

Dimitri managed to pull it off, though there were some loses it was no matter, the business was doing well. Delilah smiled her past self was wise to choose Dimitri as the next of kin. If she left it to Fiona the Ekalot family might as well gone bankrupt.

"Even when I was at the verge of dying that bitch probably didn't even care.." Delilah mummer to herself. "Poor Dimitri even had to put up with her spending.." Delilah hissed trying to flip to the next page but something caught her attention she wore a frown quickly "That witch..." she growl.

A knock came on the door. "It's open.." Delilah says quickly turning a page and going through the rest of the budget.

Dimitri held a tray of scones with a cup of tea. "Good morning Dimitri." Delilah greeted unaware of the time. "You are back to that old habit of yours, you've been couped in here for seven hours it's 4pm.." Dimitri sighed pushing the tray away and shutting the book she was skimming through and pushing it away.

"I won't have it if you get sick, just have a bite.." he picks up a scone and attempt to feeds her before she could retaliate he was too late and too close, she ended up taking a bite afterall. She tried reaching out for the book but Dimitri pushed it further away.

"I haven't gone through the entire thing, I need to make sure I'm aware of everything that happened to the business when I was away." Delilah pouted to soften Dimitri, he only rolled his eyes.

"I do not intend to let my wife get sick, you only focus on the family's business, instead why not focus on me..." He smirked striding to her direction, he pulls her out with her chair and twirls her to his direction his hand caresses her cheek, Dimitri leans in teasing her lips with butterfly kisses her face slightly blossoms.

His hand grips down on her waistline, immediately he lifts her away from her chair and places her on the wooden desk.

Delilah threw her hands over Dimitri, inviting him for a kiss. Dimitri massages Delilah's bosoms as she moans in between the kiss the only noise coming from the room was their unholy moans. Delilah cuts off the kiss and plants her lips on Dimitri's neck proceeding to give him a hickey, she moans as she a set of love bite down the side of his neck.

Dimitri's hand slid under her dress clinging to her underwear teasing to take it off before she could reply Mathilda walked in on the couple.

When her eyes laid on the couple her face turned white, she attempted to quickly exit but Delilah stopped her immediately.

"What is it Mathilda ?" Delilah asked, with her back turned she tells Delilah that a visitor would like to see her. "Who dares visit at this hour." Delilah smirked, leaning in to kiss Dimitri some more.

"It's Fiona, your twin sister.." Delilah smirk grew wider. "She finally decides to pay me a visit, I wonder what she wants ? What do you think Dimitri ?" Dimitri went silent curious on what is going through Delilah's mind. "No clue, you are always two steps ahead of your sister, what do you think ?" Dimitri snickered back. Delilah grins using the tip of her finger to push up his chin.

"Let her..." Fiona barged in before Delilah could finish her sentence, the frown Fiona wore was evident.

"So this is what you do on father's desk since he's no more.." Fiona snarled. "This could have been avoided if you were patient, Mathilda was just about to invite you in, it's not my fault is it ?" Delilah says gently pushing Dimitri away, he helps her get down from the desk, she assist in helping him adjust his collar.

"Mathilda, Dimitri please leave Fiona has something to tell me I assume.." they both nodded, Mathilda looked worried aware of the relationship between the two sisters while Dimitri leans and whispers to Delilah. "Go easy on her.." Delilah smirks widen, she quickly disguise it with an innocent smile. "Of course." She says, both Mathilda and Dimitri exits the room leaving the sisters alone.

"It's all over the news that Dimitri and you went boating, what are you trying to play Delilah ?" Fiona questions. "Whatever do you mean Fiona ?" Delilah feigns ignorance.

"Don't play dumb, you called the media to know where you were to prove your fake reunion with him in public to drown the rumors that you cheated." Delilah arched a brow.

"Cheating ?"

"What makes you think I cheated ?" Delilah mummer confused, the world didn't know Delilah lost some of her memories, neither did her sister. "The rumors, why do you think Dimitri took three months to visit you, he clearly resented you for cheating." Fiona says.

"Well, Dimitri never said such, neither did he bring up any issue about me cheating, he apologized for taking his time to visit me and we've resolved our differences privately. Besides what you heard were merely rumors. Tell me why would I cheat on Dimitri ?" Delilah questions Fiona who is unable to answer.

"Just as I thought, if you're done spitting rubbish why did you actually come visit me now, you didn't check up on me when I woke up from a coma. When I asked of you they said you were busy spending recklessly you must have really troubled Dimitri with your spending and wish I die, didn't you.." Delilah smirked.

"You do think low of me don't you ?" Fiona stutters. "I wouldn't have to, if you weren't reckless." Delilah says heading to the door.

"Fiona, you'll be on probation for six months, your monthly allowance will be on hold at the time being you'll be under interrogation, you'll be staying here at the mansion at the time being." Delilah says which angers Fiona.

"What is this nonsense? What makes you think you can put me on probation without a reason." Fiona fires back with a crooked chuckle.

"This is not without a reason, I went through the budget for the past eleven months and had a private investigator track down your spendings, the budget and your spendings didn't correlate.." Delilah says and Fiona gasps in shock.

"Until I get to the bottom of this, Fiona Helena Ekalot, I place you under house arrest.." the tension between the two sisters was evident, Delilah smirked and Fiona froze in fear.
