Linda drove straight and steady down to Oliver's house while he fell asleep in the back seat.
She parked the car and alighted trying to wake him up when she noticed his phone was ringing.
She took it out of his pocket and stared at the screen.
"Erica..." she muttered rolling her eyes in disgust.
She switched the phone off and fixed it back into his pocket while she helped him out of the car.
"Wake up Oliver, you're home..." she kept saying.
Erica had her son on her bed, she had been trying to make him sleep for hours and finally he did.
"Why is Oliver not picking my calls?" She asked looking confused.
She tried to call him again but his phone was switched off.
Erica wasn't comfortable with that.
She gently carried her son to his room and laid him on his bed.
Erica walked over to the living room, her father was still watching television.
"Are you okay Erica?" He asked on seeing the look on her face.
Oliver's eyes grew wide with fear at Erica's question."You mean my phone?" He asked looking a little dumbfounded."Yes, your phone" Erica answered staring at him.Oliver took another glance at the phone and looked up at her, his face broke into a deep grin "Erica it's nothing to worry about."She arched her brow in wonder "really?"He nodded."So why did you switch your phone off after I called?" Erica asked."I am really sorry Erica, I guess my phone went off after you called" he explained.Erica moved away from him and went straight to the living room and sat on the couch.She sat down looking restless.Oliver took a deep breath."Thank goodness she didn't press further on taking a look at my phone" he thought walking over to the living room.He sat beside Erica and put his hand across his shoulder.Erica moved his hand away from her shoulder at once, she looked very upset."Erica, please I am very sorry, I did
Erica shurgged and moved back to her seat.She had missed Linda's call because of Oliver's sudden choke.They started eating quietly when her phone started ringing.Oliver took a peep, it was Oliver again.His forehead suddenly began to bring forth sweat which slowly dripped down to his face.He looked very uncomfortable as he feared that Linda must have called to tell Erica everything."Hello Linda..." Erica greeted wearing a warm smile as she picked the call.Oliver pretended to be eating while he listened to the conversation.He wondered Omid he should leave but on a second thought, that might make matters worse."I need to sit here and face this shit I created for myself, perhaps I would explain everything to her" he thought while chewing on his toasted bread."You promised that we would hangout but we didn't" Linda said wearing a long face."I haven't forgotten, we can still hangout today" Erica said.
Linda sat in a fancy restaurant waiting for Erica, she was having a milk shake when she noticed Erica walk into the restaurant.She smiled delightfully.Erica's eyes was everywhere searching for the particular spot Linda was sitting at."I am over here..." Linda said waving her hands.Erica sighed with a beautiful smile on seeing her.As she approached Linda stood up and gave her a hug."Finally you are here" Linda said wearing a grin.Erica nodded "yes I am."She sat down and beckoned on the waitress, she was really thirsty."Get me a chilled orange juice" she said to the waitress when she arrived.The lady nodded and walked away."I am glad that we are finally sitting together, how are you doing today Erica?" She asked."Very well..." Erica answered."And I can see you aren't doing bad, I like your dress" Erica added.Linda chortled "Oh this, I bought it when I went to Paris, it's qui
"What nonsense" Erica mumbled sitting in her car."Why do I have this bad feeling about Linda? Perhaps she might end up being a bad influence to me? But... I am not a child, I can always make my own decisions" Erica thought.She heard a tap on her door.Erica looked up, it was Richard."I will call you..." Richard said heading down to his car with his brother.Erica gasped, she watched Linda wave at them with a smile on her face.Linda walked straight to Erica's car and got in."What was the meaning of that?" Erica asked.Linda gaped "meaning of what?""That drama in there..." Erica responded turning to her.Linda rolled her eyes "Erica come on... give us all a big break, why are you being so stiff unnecessarily?"Erica arched her brow "I am being stiff? Was I drunk when I said that I am okay dating Oliver?"Linda shurgged "Perhaps you were, you never can tell.""What?" Erica cried out.
Oliver pulled out from the chair he was sitting on, his forehead and neck was gradually getting covered in sweat."Listen to me Linda...." he tried to say."Their is no point listening to you Oliver, I have told you and I would say it again, be a good boy and we are cool, I do not want or need your God damn money!" He yelled gritting her teeth.Oliver hit his hand on the table clenching his fist tight "if Erica ever gets that video Linda, I promise you one thing, I would kill you and gladly go to jail."Oliver walked away heading back to his car.Eli turned around staring at him, he turned back to Linda and wagged his finger in front of her.Linda smirked as she watched him leave "I am so enjoying this game."Oliver and Eli got back into the car."I don't understand this, like I don't get it all, who the hell does she even think she is? Who?" Oliver cried our in anger."Calm down Oliver, I guess you just have to do just
She got home and shut her door behind her pulling off her pants and gloves.She rubbed her elbow across her forehead ahd sat on the wooden floor.For a couple of minutes she remained that way reminiscing on what just happened at the old amusement park."I actually killed those men" she mumbled gnashing her teeth.She but her upper lip in disdain dragging her feet up, she struggled to stand, her legs kept shaking."I think I'm having an anxiety attack she thought leaning closer to the window.She could clearly see a neighbors chimney smoking, she scoffed shaking her head."It's so hot out here and someone lit their chimney, can't believe his" she pulled off her shirt leaving the clothes laying carelessly on thr floor.She walked to to the bathroom naked and emerged into the shower.The water poured down drenching her dark hair as soon as she switched it open.Linda broke down it tears and sobbed for a long time, sh
Oliver walked out of the bathroom typing a towel around his waist and ruffling his head with another, he noticed the wall clock on the wall and took a deep sigh at how quickly time flies, it was almost 1:00am and he was still awake.He walked past Linda who was still lost in her addiction for cigarettes, the room was covered in thick smoke.Oliver choked and coughed at the same time over and over again."Now don't act like an amature" Linda said looking up at him."Can you please stop? I really can't stay in here if you continue smoking line a chimney" he cried out.Linda raised her hands "fine... I have heard you."She put of the cigarette, she was almost done with it though, her eyes looked blood shot but she didn't seem to care about that."I can't believe how irresponsible you are, Joan isn't like this yet you both are friends" Oliver said.Linda burst into laughter "trust me man, I am far better than she is, at least I am
"Prison is the worse place anyone could ever dream of being but you know what? I still don't regret the fact that I did what I did" Joan said the lady sitting beside her.They were having a time outside, some of the ladies were playing games in the field.The lady giggled loudly rubbing her hand beneath her nostrils "well neither do I regret selling all those drugs, damn I did it to put food on the table for my little daughter."Joan chortled "no one cares about any of us, I am going to spend the rest of my miserable life in here but I am not allowing my sister go freely nor her stupid boyfriend.""Hey... look over there" the lady said took her.Joan turned around and noticed the peering eyes of a group of girls, they were known to be one of the most dangerous groups in prison.She looked away rubbing her hand across her forehead "I don't want to get their attention, don't want to get beaten."The lady smiled "I'm sure you don't."
Linda waited in her car in front of the mall, through her side mirror she saw Oliver park his car behind hers.She waited patiently taking a deep breath.Oliver walked up to her car and got in."I am here..." he turned to her.She smiled trying to kiss him."Stop it Linda, why did you call me out here?" Oliver asked.She sighed "can't you be a little romantic with your side chick?" She glared at him."For the records, I have no side chick, for the last time, why am I here" he asked.She scoffed "open the dashboard in front of you."Oliver took a glance at her and opened it "now what?""Aren't you seeing something inside of it?" She arched her brow."An envelope?" He looked a little confused."Take the envelope" she instructed.Oliver turned to her "What's in it?""Just do what I said and stop asking silly questions" Linda yelled.He quickly took out the envelope."Open it!
Linda found her phone lying carelessly on her bed and picked it up."I am still waiting here bitch!" Joan yelled from the living room.Linda walked back to the livingroom with her phone and quickly called Oliver, her hands were shaking."How did you know I was back into the state?" Oliver asked."With the news of Joan out of prison, you are bound to return with your wife" she gave Joan a heavy glare who had a cruel smirk at the end of her lips.She hanged up asking Oliver to meet her in front of the mall later that evening which he found quite odd."Good girl, isn't it so simple?" Joan raised her brows."Can you leave mu house now?" Linda asked.Joan stood up "of course I would leave but make sure you don't forget that my eyes are everywhere" she picked up her base ball and placed it on her head, she went straight to the door, unlocked it and walked out of the house through it.Linda scoffed falling on her knees "I can't
Linda was playing a loud hip pop music in her room while she smoked nonstop, she was a smoke addict and found it difficult to do anything without smoking a cigarette.She had just putted off the cigarette and walked into the bathroom naked to have a quick shower when someone knocked.Linda didn't hear or notice the knock since the music was very loud and the radio was definitely very close to the bathroom.Linda sang along, dancing in the bathroom and spent quite a while in there enjoying the warmth of the water.She lit on another stick of cigarette walking out of the bathroom, she kept puffing the smoke into the air.Suddenly she heard a noise in her livingroom, she quickly grabbed her radio and turned down the volume paying attention to her environment to be sure she heard clearly.Then she heard the same noise in the livingroom again."Who is there?" She heed behind her door waiting for a response but no one said a thing.She became suspicious "I am sure
A week later...Erica, Oliver, her son and the nanny flew out of the states to Paris where they spent three weeks having fun and visiting lots of exciting places.They had planned to stay for two months but they couldn't stay longer after the night Erica received a frightening call from her father.They had just finished having vanilla gelato at the ice-cream store and got back to their various rooms when Andrew called.Erica was always excited when ever her father calls, she always loved sharing her experiences for the day with him.Andrew also did well calling always to check on the couple but this evening his voice didn't sound as cheerful as always, it sounded a little squeaky "are you okay dad?" She asked."Yeah... sure Erica, I just called to check up on you, how is my grandson doing?" He asked."He is with his nanny, he is doing alright" she answered."Mmhm... that's good, what about your husband?" He asked clearing his
The wedding day was a blast.One of the most expensive weddings ever celebrated so far.Of course the church auditorium was crowded with dignitaries who have come to celebrate with the couple.Erica was dressed in a strapless pearl ball gown, and a bridal illusion veil comfortably sitted on her head.She had this silver little crown on he head which made her look like a real princess.She had a esclavage sitting comfortably around her neck with dangling earnings.On her legs she wore a pair of silver ankle strap heels.Erica was the most beautiful woman in the church that morning, all eyes were focused on her.Linda stood beside behind her while she took the vows standing in front of Oliver who was elegantly dressed in his white suit and so was Eli."To love and to cherish, till death do us part" Erica said wearing a precious smile.They exchanged rings, it was quite and emotional scenario, both couples would spen
Few minutes later...The director of the company called a meeting for all staffs and mentioned that some serious amount of money was missing from the account.One of the staffs cleared his throat raising his hand "excuse me sir but if money should be missing, the accountant and financial secretary should be held responsible, they should trace it all."The director nodded turning to the financial secretary and accountant who looked totally confused."I don't understand why money was continually withdrawn and stolen from thsi company under your very nose and you can't give a reasonable explanation" the director said.He had previously called both men who have served as the accountant and financial secretary to the company for several years into his office and asked them.The money was worth in millions of dollars and it wasn't withdrawn once.At first the director had refused to make it public though so high ranked staff members were aw
Erica have been writing a particular book for years now, it was more like a biography.She had been sitting all night in front of her laptop typing, she needed the book to be ready a week after her wedding and yes her wedding date have been fixed, it was just a month away and lots of preparations were going on already.Erica stretched standing up from the chair, her eyes met her wall clock and she scoffed in despair, she doubted if she would be able to sleep.It was 7:00am and bundles of sun rays were already making way through her slightly open window, she yawned stretching again while she lay up on her bed facing the ceiling, she shut her eyes forcing a self to sleep for few minutes but her efforts were futile especially because of her phone which started blaring nonstop.She forced herself up on her feet and grabbed the phone."Linda! I just wanted to get a little sleep" she cried out feeling so disappointed on picking the call.Lin
"Hey Erica, you have got to go pick some groceries, we are out of food" she heard her father yell from the living room dragging her out of her miserable thoughts.That was a good one and a nice escape from her mood, it was soon going to drown her after all."Coming..." she answered dragging her short gown down, she hurried out of thevroom afterwards to go see her father.It's Zoe's birthday...The living room was decorated with blue, white and golden colors, their were balloons every where and a smooth music to bring life to the occasion.The little boy was already walking but Erica still preferred that the nanny carried him into her arms while the party went on.Lots of family friends attended, their was enough to eat and drink.In few minutes, Zoe cut his birthday cake and lots of gifts were presented to him."I didn't see your gift for Zoe" Erica said while she danced in the arms of Oliver.He giggled "don't worry abo
Saturday had just began and it was noon in few hours.It was a visiting period in prison...The visiting room was already getting crowded with people who have come to visit the inmates who were their family members.Joan barely had visitors but today she had one waiting for in the room.She walked straight into the room and sat down opposite her visitor, she had her hair properly packed in pony tail, they looked a little messed up and so did her face, she smiled adjusting on the seat "Hey.. how is it going?"Linda smirked "very well Joan, doing it all just like you asked me to, why do you have so many bruises on your face today?" She asked out of curiosity.Joan nodded "I trust you, have they fixed the wedding date yet?""You didn't answer my wuestin" Linda interrupted.Joan sighed "I'm trying to survive over here Linda, bruises and wounds are normal to me anyways."Linda gasped "that's really crazy, do you really
