CLARA "So, are you ready today?" "Sure, why not? It's my job and I have to carry it out with all pleasure and joy." That's my girl. She knows the job very well. Because of this singular act of hers, I decided to forgive her. I know the reason why I chose her was because she was the only single friend that is not yet married. The rest are in their husband's house. But I never knew that she was this bad. If I had known that she is into this part time, I would have been disturbing her for money. So why was she claiming innocence earlier as if she was only having an affair with her boyfriend. They were about to leave when I reminded my father in-law about our agreement and he told me that after the performance, he will make payments just to be sure that she was good like she projects. I accepted and they left. I was in my room reminiscing on what happened earlier. I wondered what would be going on in their bedroom. Does that mean that he took her home? I thought he said he respect
CLARA My bank account is beginning to shake and I am happy. Since Damien feels I need to be a full housewife without having my own money, I will let him be, but this is the greatest move I have made. This continued and I was getting what I deserved. Damien hasn't found out about what was going on.I was very much careful so that he wouldn't notice that I had some money with me. But there was a problem, I never knew that out of excitement of pleasure, President Flores was paying Rose for each round of sex they have in a day. No wonder she sends my share quickly with hesitation. And she never bothered to tell me about it. She is really cashing out but she's a bad friend. How did I find out? One evening, I was discussing with President Flores, and the discussion we had led to him telling me this. "For a while now, the happiness you are having knows no bounds. What's the secret?" He chuckled, “Clara, you know the truth already. You did something spectacular and I will forever be i
CLARAI was already on my way when Paul called me and told me to come to his place."What for?" "Obey before you start asking questions, it is very urgent." I had to branch over to his place. "You sent for me.""Why are you so heartless?""And where is the talk coming from?" "You gave Rose a job and why are you demanding so much from her as if you are the one doing the job?" Oh! She has gone to tell him? Rose is really playing with my emotions and she will get what she wants. "I am the one who gave her the job and I also deserve some share." "Nobody says you shouldn't get any share, but it is too much. You are the wife of a billionaire yet you are not satisfied.""Was this what you called me here for, huh? I beg to take my leave." I was about to go but he drew me back, trying to give me a kiss on my lips. I struggled within myself to reject it, even though I felt like doing so but the moment I remembered what happened the last time, I disengaged myself from him. "I don't wan
CLARA I was taken into Damien's office and he was surprised to see me. "Ma, I don't know you….""Excuse us," Damien said. I glanced at the Secretary and she left. "Clara, what happened? What changed?""Can I sit down?" "Sure." I remembered that I was supposed to serve him immediately without sitting. At least I was happy that I didn't meet any lady in his office.I quickly cleared off his table that was filled with files of different sizes. Damien was just staring at me like a lost sheep. I brought the packags out from the bag and he was wowed. His eyeballs were almost bulging out. "What is this?" "I got you something," I said, smiling and unwrapping the food. "Hmm, the aroma smells nice." I opened the food and he screamed! "What is this?"At first, I thought he didn't like what I got. I looked up at him only for me to see him smiling and licking his lips. "You like what you see?" "Sure! Let's eat together." The spoon that was wrapped was just for one person but he got
CLARAI used my side eyes to look at those ladies. I hope they heard him well? "Wait here, I want to see my wife off, I will be right back." I was glad that Damien was very bold and proud of me. This will tell them that he is someone's property. I entered my car and Damien gave me a kiss on my lips, "I will see you tonight baby." I ignited my car to leave but I felt like I was pressed. Damien has already rushed inside to attend to his visitor. I opened my car door and asked the security guard where the restroom was located. I don't think I have the energy to go back to Damien's office. The security guard directed me using his mouth and hand. I walked through the back building, while approaching the restroom, I heard voices talking. "I never knew she was his wife. Why has he been hiding her?""Hiding who? This lady is not the real wife because I can remember I attended the wedding and this is not the face that I met that day.""Are you kidding?""No, this one snatched her sister
MICHIGAN When I got to the venue of the conference, there were many fleets of cars. People were trooping in and out. If I had known, I would have taken Gloria along with me. I got out of the Uber car, paid the driver, and entered the building. The usher took me to where I sat down. The crowd was huge. When I entered the conference hall, I kept my face high and focused because I was very shy. This is my first time attending such a conference. I sat still and greeted the man on my right-hand side and the man on my left. I wonder why the usher made me sit in the middle of two men. I am sure Damien is in this hall. I was kind of nervous because I didn't know what would happen if our paths crossed. I was focused and listened to the speaker who was speaking to us. But I noticed that eyes were piercing through my skin. I used my side eyes and looked at my right and left, the two men were taking glances at me. What is this? They should focus and stop making me feel uncomfortable.
MICHIGANThe attendant came inside and dropped the food tray. She noticed the way I was looking at her in annoyance. "Sorry for the delay ma'am," she bowed and left. Good for her! I opened everything and I noticed that even some things that I didn't demand were served to me. "There is a mix up here. This isn't my order." I called their line immediately, "This is the receptionist. How may we help you ma?" "There is a mix up here in my order. What is this with the fruits and chocolates and some other things?""That is your order ma.""Are you saying that I don't know what I told them?" I heard another lady's voice in the background, "Sorry ma'am, someone said we should add those things for you and your bills have been paid.""Huh? Who?" There was no response from them again and I hung up. What is going on? I am confused at this point. Who paid for all these? Why should the person do that? Hmm, I will have to find out because this is strange. I don't know if anyone knew that I
DAMIEN My father is the only one I need to call now because the situation has really gotten out of hand. How can I be given the wrong address twice? They must have kidnapped Clara. I called my father immediately because I needed his help. "Damien, hope there is no problem?" "Dad, there is a big problem.""What happened?" "Clara had an accident and I was informed and given the location of the clinic but I can't find her there. I have gone to the second address given to me and I still can't find her. Please contact the rescue team in case she has been kidnapped." "I will do that right away." In less than seven minutes, the news went viral. It had circulated around the Internet. And I got to find out through the phone calls coming into my phone. A lot of people were calling to know what happened but I refused to pick their calls. Finally, my father called me to tell me where they found her, he gave me the address and I zoomed off with my car. When I got to the hospital, I was su
MICHIGANA few weeks later after the incident at Damien's mansion, I felt sick and became bedridden due to a very unusual flu which I ignored at the start.I thought deeply as to where that moment of fantasy would lead me and Damien, it felt different as I embraced the mutual feeling we both shared and gave in to my heart's deepest desire.The flu kept me from work and doing anything productive leaving me with no other option than to hire a maid. I was too stubborn to go to the hospital as I feared that I would have to spend days thereafter testing.Just as I sat in my room with my wipes on my side and my nose as red as that of the red reindeer, my maid walked into the room and there seemed to be someone at the door as well."Someone is here to see you madam.""Come in."I responded with anticipation as I watched the door to see who it was, surprisingly I saw Damien walk into the room with flowers in his hand.His expression changed when she saw the drain look on my face that hinted a
DAMIENThe death of my father was more than a shock to me as I still could not grasp the level of the situation. What I felt in the aftermath of my father's death was indescribable.I would sometimes be lost in my mind each time I thought about his death, it would seem as if I had lost my mind and driven to madness.A few friends of my father had gathered in the mansion to mourn him after the burial, and countless people all came to me to say the same thing over and over again.It became infuriating but I had no other option than to keep up and put up an understanding face. I left the main room where all the guests were gathered to the outskirts of the mansion.To my greatest surprise, I saw the most unexpected guest I didn't think would come, I watched as she walked out of her car and her driver drove off to park the vehicle."Michigan."I stuttered as I still could not believe my eyes as I saw her in a black dress approach where I stood, she looked even more beautiful in the dress.
ARMANDOI looked at the letter that weakened me from the very moment I saw it, a letter from my long-lost family.All my life I never thought that this day would come when I would meet my people again, a cluster of emotions raided my mind as I couldn't help but feel an outburst of happiness and sadness at the same time.The name I had made for myself as well as Michigan made it easier for anyone to find us as well as my long-lost parents."What about Michigan?"The one thought that made me think straight in the fog of all those emotions, I spent so much time with her as we became a crucial part of each other and I could not help but feel what this message would do to her once she heard.I closed my eyes as tears dripped down my cheeks, there was only one road for me to take and it would be a painful one but the best for us both.I walked into Michigan's office after leaving my desk with a different sense of being, I took my steps slowly in an attempt to find the right words to disclos
CLARAI could not help the fact that my meeting with Paul caught me off-guard as I did not expect anything like the outcome of what I encountered, it made me drive with a worried mind."Why do I keep getting this intuition that something wrong would happen?"I thought aloud in the car as I drove alone, the exact words rang through my mind as I approached the end of my destination.Arriving at the mansion with the same worried and troubled countenance as I walked up to the door, the mansion appeared even more quiet than usual as I stood at the door surprised."What is going on here Damien?"I asked as I saw him sit in anticipation and with a menacing look on his face, he sipped the glass of juice before bringing himself to speak to me."Look at those test results, all the answers you need are in there."He spoke in such a calm tone which made the situation even more frightening as I touched the test slip on the table. He watched me like a predator waiting for me to make the wrong move
ARMANDOTo my greatest surprise, she did not even seem fazed by the fact that I was with Paul, it was almost as if she knew about us the entire time which I highly doubted."Why am I not surprised to see the right-hand man or should I say servant of Michigan, you guys do make quite the duo after all."She spoke with a sense of calmness as none of what had happened seemed to catch her by surprise, even with the element of surprise on our side she was not moved."I haven't got all day Paul, If you have something to say to me you might as well go on with it or save us the stress of having such an absurd meeting.""I did not come here to banter words with you Clara for that time is far behind me, you decided that you do not want me in Benjamin's life knowing fully well that he is my son and not Damien's."I watched as Paul poured out his mind to Clara in a tone that I never heard him use until the moment he accepted the gruesome fate that Clara presented him with."I will leave his life b
ARMANDO"We were able to apprehend the assassin as well as his employer who happened to be an underground drug lord portraying an addictive gambler to the public. I got the drug lord to talk and he confessed to his crimes."The detective said as he revealed the concluding aspects of the investigation, one thing was still ringing in my mind and I waited for him to finish the reveal before I asked."There is still one part of the investigation which seems like you skipped it, it's the part that concerns Michigan and happened to the same thing that linked her to the case.""I was just getting there, the drug lord also revealed that he was working with Clara whose sole aim was to frame your boss for the crime while the main plan was to kill Paul."Such a full disclosure was certain to drive one into a state of unparalleled shock, I stood my ground in disbelief as I slowly assimilated the information that shook me."it is now up to you guys if you will press charges against her or not, you
DAMIEN"Hello madam so sorry to have kept this from you till this time but Benjamin fell sick last night and right now I have him in the hospital receiving treatment."I spoke with a polite tone as I disclosed the current situation with Benjamin to his school management. They were more than ready to give him as much needed time as possible to recover."We will find time to get his classmates and the staff to visit him, my regards to him.""Will do, madam."I responded to the headmistress as I hung up after seeing the presence of one who completely changed my neutralized countenance, someone who needed to be here but not the type I would expect to arrive at anything early."Where is he, where is my son?"Clara asked as she walked straight to the room I was standing close to, I stopped her from entering as the nurse was still administering his medication."Hold your horses right there, you barge in demanding to see a son you didn't even bother to check on before driving off to some busi
DAMIENAfter a day of nonstop paperwork even as the owner of the company, I returned to my mansion with a weighted expression and a tired countenance.All I needed was rest at the moment, nothing more nothing less as I crawled out of the car, trying to lift my entire body and the briefcase I held in hand."Nancy!"I called out to Benjamin's nanny as she was the only maid in the house before crashing into the nearest couch I could find in the living room, loosening my tie as I awaited her arrival.After a few minutes of no response, I decided to call her as I had no more strength left in me to call out at the fullest extent of my lungs."Where are you, Nancy?" I asked immediately if she picked up my call, "I have been calling you since I got back and you are nowhere to be found.""I went to the store to pick up something that Mrs. Clara ordered, she asked me to rush down here a few minutes before you called sir."It was not of her own doing as the task sounded exactly like something Cl
DETECTIVE LEONARDSteven added as he then approached the pair to apprehend them, I could sense that one of the two suspects would want to defy the odds and try to pull a stunt on us.The more deadly tossed the nerdy guy unto Steven as he immediately jumped through the big vent that sat behind him, a smart move that I did not anticipate."Cuff him!"I said to the detective as I ran off to meet up with the escapee who happened to have planned his getaway plot if something like this were to happen. To my greatest surprise, the officer caught him before he could get on his feet, cuffing him up as he could not pull any more tricks out of the bag."You nearly got killed in there, I hope this goose chase you were about to take us on was not for nothing or else you will have me to answer?"The suspect did not want to answer as he held a bold and overconfident expression with me, he wanted to make this even harder than it already was but I knew just what to do to get to him.I drove them back
