“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
By the time David Reached Mombasa, Betty and Sam had already arrived and were busy preparing themselves to meet one of his business associates. The venue was supposed to be in the hotel restaurant.They were seated on one of the tables and she was busy taking notes on the upcoming meeting, when she had a familiar voice talking from behind her.“Hello Sweetheart?” the voice greeted her and she was sure that it was him.Betty turned her head with a surprise to see the most beautiful blues eyes she had been missing throughout yesterday. He seemed relaxed and not bothered at all, but what was running in her mind was what David was doing in the city.“I am Okay David. What are you doing here? “She asked with a neutral voice trying to hide her nervousness. She wasn’t doing anything wrong but the man made her feel small, she definitely had to answer for something now that he had decided to honour her with his visit personally.“I came here to see a friend and we were scheduled to meet in thi
The floor housed a single spacious private room, equipped with all the necessity that an individual might need. Apart from the beautiful decorations and designs it had a full kitchen and a bathroom. It was a room fit for a president with all the luxury screaming everywhere. But David was wealthy and that was just a piece of cake for him to acquire within a short period.The moment he closed the door his previous gentle look changed in to a cold and unforgiving one. On noticing that, Betty hugged herself and sat down on the sofa while looking down. She didn’t want to look at the furious eyes.“Betty! I am very angry with you right now and I have tried to control myself the best I can all this time. Please make me understand why you are here? I had to come and pick you up myself.” Betty was stunned by the revelation, she didn’t think that she was that important to him.“I…I called you but your phone was not going through. So I decided to just come. You know Sam is my boss and he needed
He looked at her side and went back to his computer which was still in his lap. All he ever do is work, he didn’t have time for himself to relax and the only way for him to relax was to go fool around with his mistresses. The thoughts were hurtful but that was the reality she was living and she had to accept it no matter what.“Do you see how busy I am? Do you expect me to be happy with you wasting my time just to come all the way here to get you? “Betty had heard him say the same statement earlier but she didn’t pay any attention to it but now that she was thinking about it she thought that he said that he had come to see a friend, now it turns out that she was wasting his work time.“I understand Davie.” She said the name forgetting that he was still angry with her. And he snarled “David, Remember to call me that next time because we are not friends here.”“Sure” she replied and leaned her head back on the chair, she wasn’t going to talk to him on their way back home. She is going
On the other hand it was unusual that David went to one of his houses. In this house stays a woman who he needed to talk to urgently. So he parked his car and went to the front door. He knocked the door twice.The door suddenly opened and surprised Belinda exclaimed with excitement” Baby, what a surprise for you to come and see me here. It had been a while and you haven’t called me” the woman wouldn’t shut up and he was starting to think that this decision he made wasn’t right.He rubbed his forehead and talked for the first time since showing up at her doorstep “Belinda I only have a few minutes, can I come in” he asked and didn’t let her invite him in instead he went right in to the living room and sat down in one of the sofas. The house was his and this was the first time he was seeing it.Belinda came and stopped right in front of him, giving him a seductive stare became in her head she thought that David had come for their special arrangement and she was ready for him at all the
