Paul quickly took his phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Larry telling him to meet them at the Homeland Bar and when he noticed him texting he asked “Who are you busy sending messages to? It better not be Larry? I will kill you both.”He denied his accusations immediately “I am not texting, I am just chatting on Facebook with my girlfriend. “He lied because David was giving him a deadly look that made him become afraid. He wanted to strangle him for sure and if looks could kill then Paul would have been dead and buried right that moment.When he looked at the message he sent, he saw that it has been blue ticked which meant that Larry had read it. He replied almost immediately and said “I am on my way don’t let him drink too much”The Bar was filled with people of all ages, loud music could be heard in the room and men and women danced to the lively music. However David didn’t like the noise, he wanted a quiet place to drink his sorrows away.There was a particular private room which
David suddenly turned sad as he stated “When it comes to her I really feel confused. She is so kind and innocent and any man will just be moved by her beauty. When I am close to her, I feel at peace and all my worries disappears. But as much as I try I can’t fall in love with her. The worst thing is that I see love in her eyes every time I look at her and it makes me feel so bad”“The best advice I can give to you is get to know her better. It is probably the fact that you were forced to marry her that is making you reject her. It is not that you don’t love her, you don’t want to allow some else in your heart” Larry had a way of making him listen.“Yeah, I guess I still love Joy, I think that is the reason why I still sleep around with all this useless ladies around. How I wish I can transfer that love to Betty. If you saw the way she took care of me when I was sick you will be amazed”“Boss I think you should give her a chance.” Paul also added to what Larry was trying to do. They wa
But he answered her in the same calm manner and she was surprised “Yes Betty with my status there are so many enemies ready to attack at any time. But I like how you are worried about me. You are so sweet.” Betty also loved the way he was talking but what was disturbing her mind was how he got injured. She took a clean towel and cleaned the wound before applying an ointment to help it heal.“By the way did you see what was going around the social media during the day? I was worried about you and I kept calling but you didn’t pick up your phone.” Betty said with disappointment in her face, she really wanted to avoid the topic but then again it wouldn’t let her be in peace so she gathered her courage and finally asked him expecting to be scolded but he just replied back with a normal voice.“Yeah I saw them and I think it is about a friend of mine who have come back to haunt me. Oh ……How I hate that stupid Elijah. He gritted his teeth and said thought fully, it must be him who tried
She heaved a sigh of relief and accepted “Alright I accept. Can we meet at the usual restaurant? The lunch is on me” When it came to Hannah she was never able to hide anything from her and she decided that it was finally time to tell her everything that was going on in her life.“No it’s on me. I am the friend who want to make it up for you. Any way cheer up and don’t look too gloomy. Anyone can just see that from the fake shades you are wearing” Hannah stated and Betty felt embarrassed, it means that everyone she had passed on her way to the office had recognized her sad face. However the only one who was concerned enough to ask was Hannah.“See you then” She kissed Betty on the cheeks and left to her workstation.Right then, Sam opened his door and called for Betty to come in his office. He was also looking at her with suspicion as he wondered why she chose to wear sunglasses. She looked down with embarrassment and said“I had a slight infection on my eyes and it’s a little bit red
“I knew it, the man is a jerk. How can he treat you like that when you have done him a favor? You are so lovely my friend. I wish you could have ended up with a man like Sam. He would have treated you better”“Oh Hannah if you knew what I went through, I wouldn’t even dare tell you. I almost died, he was so furious with me and asked me to divorce him. You can’t even start to imagine what he did to me, he torture me in the name of punishing me. I was a wreck and he didn’t even care at all, was it not for his doctor friend I don’t know what I couldn’t have done.”Hannah understood well what exactly Betty was talking about and he pitied her “I am so sorry Betty. But what are you still doing with him. If I were you I would have divorced him immediately.” Hannah said without putting herself in her shoes, if she decided to divorce him, who will pay for her father’s medical treatment?Tears of frustrations started flowing on her face as she explained “It is not as easy as you think. I made a
Hot tears was flowing down her cheeks as he narrated that part of her life to Hannah, with her she was very free and she needed to vent some of the pain she was feeling. Hannah rounded the table to her seat and gave her a very tight hug just to assure her. She didn’t like at all how the most confident Betty was breaking down in to tiny pieces.“That is enough please. Stop crying I will always be here for you.” Hannah patted her back softly and went back to her seat.“I almost thought that somehow, there was some little love he had for me and I started getting my hopes up, but guess what? He came home late last night after fighting with God knows who and the only thing he told me was that he doesn’t have any feelings for me and the best thing we should do is give each other distance.”“Just give him sometimes and he will realize how much you are worth to him. You have a good and kind heart and that is why you want to take care of him despite all the hurtful things he has done to you”“
“Fine, I will only do it because you say so” Janet answered not pleased at all with Betty’s words.“Now I need to go sleep. I will have to wake up early for the trip tomorrow. Goodnight Janet” She yawned and left Janet by herself arranging the kitchen.When she reached the bedroom, she picked up the phone to call David. She wanted to inform him about the trip before leaving early in the morning. His number was not going through and Betty gave up on the second call.” To hell with him. Why am I even being worried about him when all he does is hurt me over and over again? She muttered.After she calm down, Betty took her bath and the moment she placed her head on the pillow, she slept immediately on the same side where David usually sleeps. She wanted to smell his scent and feel him close.It was around 6 AM in the morning when she was woken up by her alarm. Betty got out of bed and packed a few clothes in the suitcase and by the time the clock pointed 7.00 AM in the morning, she went to
For quite some time there was unusual silence in the house and she decided to come out of hiding. What she saw broke her heart, David had cut his wrist with the glasses that was broken from the Television and was bleeding profusely. But still his face showed no emotion at all, not even from the pain on his wounds. She remembered that Betty asked her to take care of him and her heart soften.“Sir let me help you clean the wound.” He just stared at her with no reply at all and his blank eyes showed her that he was lost from reality. However she owed it to him for being her employer, he really did pay her well except for his bad moods. For the sake of Betty she will help him calm down.“I don’t know what is wrong with me, Janet. I only want to be a better person but I destroy everything I touch.” David confessed much to her surprise. He couldn’t imagine such a powerful man being reduced to talking to his house help. Was she able to give meaningful advice to him because she figure out tha
