Hickey??

As Shirley left the house that morning, she thought about her unpleasant encounter with Niklause. As the event played in her mind a fresh feeling of rage flowed through her again. Only God knows what he was thinking.

As she reached outside the huge gate she saw Sarah coming out of a black jeep. She remained at her spot waiting for Sarah to reach.

“Hi Shirley”. Sarah greeted politely.

“Where have you been”? Everyone at home was worried about you”. Shirley said moving her face from Sarah’ to the now disappearing car.

“I was at a friend’s place”.

“Why didn’t you call to at least tell us that you were spending the night”.

Sarah raised a brow at her and in quick motion moved her eyes to Shirley’s neck.

“I know it’s none of my business but you should have informed us”. Shirley said.

Sarah still kept her eyes glued to Shirley’s neck. Seems like someone or rather two people were busy having fun instead of worrying about her.

“Sarah, Sarah.” Shirley snapped. “Are you here at all”?.

“Y-e-s I’m so-r-ry for not coming home earlier”. Sarah stuttered trying to keep her eyes off from the purple mark Shirley’s neck.

“I have a few places to reach, I’ll be back before sunset”. Shirley announced walking away.S

As Shirley walked away, Sarah couldn’t help but stare as her disappearing figure, when she asked Shirley to make Adon fall for her, she didn’t know that he’ll be sleeping with her so soon.

As she walked into the compound and into the mansion, tears clouded her vision. She refused to wipe them and neither did she let it fall. She walked aimlessly around until she bumped into someone who hugged her in excitement and relief.

“Sarah, baby where have you been?. I tried reaching you and everything but you weren’t answering your cell phone. Are you okay?

As she refused to give a reply, Adon looked at her face. “Are you okay? Why are you crying? Who hurt you baby? Who hurt you? Tell me and I’ll make sure they pay for every of tears you’ve shed”.

She remained motionless and she stared at him. She made her way half up the stairs and half way through she turned back to stare at him. When I told you to do whatever you wanted, I didn’t know you’d be having a woman in our matrimonial bed a day after.

As she made her way up the up the remaining of the stair Adon couldn’t help but wonder what she meant by that, but from what he could see she looked really hurt. But why? Probably because she felt he took another woman their bed. But she didn’t like to share that bed with him and she had just referred to it as their matrimonial bed. Even if he ever decided to have intercourse with some random bimbo, it wouldn’t be in their house much more their matrimonial bed. For him, that seemed like the highest level of disrespect.

As much as he wanted to forget what just happened, he couldn’t get her crying and sad face away from his head. He so badly wanted to comfort her and bring her out of her misery. He thought of going to her room but decided against it the next minute. He first needed to find a way to clear himself from this newly found allegation placed against him.

As he took steps to where ever it is he wanted to go, he tried connecting the dots then suddenly something clicked in his mind.

She found out that he slept with a woman which is clearly a lie, or maybe that bastard; Paul had lied to her again, then she came home crying and not wanting to talk to him. Does that mean something, is it what he was thinking. Suddenly a smile spread across his lips. “Is she jealous”? He asked himself amusingly. Then suddenly he burst out into loud laughter.

“Yes. I did sleep with someone, and she was as hot as fuck. She was hot too”. He screamed on the top of his lungs making sure she heard every single word he said. If she truly felt jealous, then they were making progress.

Sarah slammed and locked the door behind her as she entered the room. She rested on the door and as she let her tear fall freely, she came crashing to the ground. She didn’t know the reason she cried or was it better to say that she knew why she cried but didn’t want to admit it?

Paul had told her after coming to a halt in front of her gate this morning that he was taking a night flight to London and would be back in two weeks’ time. That was the only thing she believed would make her cry because there Is no way she was going to admit that Adon taking another woman to their bed brought real tears to her eyes.

Seeing those love marks on Shirley’s neck gave her mixed emotions, different things ran through her head. The marks still looked fresh so it probably means that they were together throughout the night till early hours of the morning.

She never thought that Adon was capable of doing such a thing, he looked too innocent to even know the meaning of a hickey. As she kept thinking she heard him say. “Yes, I did sleep with someone and she was as sexy as fuck, she was hot too”. That did it. The flood in form of tears that she kept locked came running out.

“I need a cold shower; I need to clear my head”.

Charlotte woke up in the room, staring weakly at the ceiling. “Am I in heaven already”? She asked herself. “But why do I feel so much pain”? She managed to sit up on the bed without breaking a bone. She felt weak, hungry tired and most importantly her vision was very blur she could only see the color white.

For a moment she felt really happy. Heaven has only color white right? Then as if she remembered something the look of fear dominated her face.

“Paul, Paul”. She muttered to herself. She stood blindly and weakly trying to disconnect the several drips connected to her body.

But wait, if she was in heaven she didn’t need to worry about Paul, right?. She sigh out relief but the color drained out of her face again when she heard James voice.

“Charlotte, Charlotte are you okay? What the fuck happened to you? How did these come off your hands”? He rushed over and helped her sit down.

“What happened to me and why am I here”? Charlotte asked weakly.

“That bastard almost killed you, he left you to die a horrible painful death”. James said angrily in one breath.

Charlotte pushed him from off her lightly. “He would never do that to me. I need to see him, I need to get back to him”.

“What? You’ve been out for days and that bastard didn’t even try to reach you or look for you”.

“That’s because he wouldn’t know your location”.

Charlotte stood up but fell back weakly, she stretched out her hand to James for help. “You’ll help me find him if you want me alive”.

“You’ll still end up dead anyways”. He helped her to her feet and without warning he smashed his lips on hers. Kissing her passionately and slowly until she felt something sharp pierce her skin. The pain stung her so much she winced into the kiss.

“What did you do to me”? She asked as she felt her eyes go dizzy and her body go limp. In three seconds she became unconscious again.

“I’ll make sure he doesn’t get to you and I’ll make sure you don’t find him”.
