MORGANA; The Rise And Fall Chapter 75
The living room was draped in muted hues creating a somber setting for the condolence visit. Framed photographs of Genevieve’s late child, Maya, adorned the mantle. The scent of lilies permeated the air, mingling with the faint aroma of freshly brewed tea which was being served to the people that came to condole with the governor at his time of loss. Three women huddled near the bay window, their voices hushed but filled with an undercurrent of judgment and hate, tinged with jealousy. Margaret, a woman of sturdy build with a penchant for knowing everyone's business, leaned in closer to her companions. Her eyes glimmered with a mixture of sympathy and a certain eagerness as she began, “I can’t believe poor Genevieve lost Maya. It’s just heartbreaking. But can you imagine, almost forty and this happens? It’s almost like the universe is punishing her.”Beatrice nodded, the second in the group. Her face which was mostly always pinched in disapproval nodded to concur with what the first

Genevieve noticed how her husband had walked off to go meet Le Faye the woman that had just entered.No, she couldn't be wrong, there was something more to it than them being in the same political party and she being a grassroot supporter.The way he had looked at her while she offered her condolences had something in them, sometimes she hadn't seen in his eyes for long, something she had always wanted, how she had always wanted him to look at her.She recalled the video that had gotten sent to her. The woman in it had been slim, with a hourglass body build, and she had worn a white dress!!!!!She had taken it as a random person, any girl could wear white. White fitted most girls. But as she kept on looking at the lady in the parlor, hourglass figure, black hair, white dress. Something melt on striking in her, a thought she didn't want to continue thinking.She and Lucas had made a promise earlier to stay accountable for whatever happened during the condolence visit.They had agreed t

Genevieve's heart churned as she watched her husband stare at Faye.He had seen her brother trying to harass her and had watched how he gulped down the tea he held, even though he was with some guests, his eyes were not taken off her.She was not mistaken anymore, the pictures had become clear. She were the one, she was the other woman, the other woman that dared her by going after her husband.What pained her the most was the caring eyes with which her husband stated at her with, vexing at her brother as he could not excuse himself to go confront him for his actions, lest calling attention to himself.She watched him, his reactions, his eyes, his expressions.He had never looked at her with those eyes, not even one, not even when she had given birth to Maya for him.He had always seen her as Genevieve, the wife that forced herself on him, and nothing more, nothing less.Not even as a woman worth desiring, the way men she had been with always did.The nights they had made out when her

Genevieve and Lucas returned to the parlour because of the sound of the falling glass that had caught their attention, the tension between them was still very visible. As they entered, the room fell silent, the remaining guests' eyes fixed on them with a mixture of shock and curiosity. The atmosphere was heavy, the usual murmurs of conversation replaced by an uneasy quiet.Genevieve's assistant, a young woman, hurried to her side, her face pale with anxiety. "Mrs. Genevieve," she whispered urgently, "your conversation with Mr. Lucas—it was broadcasted. Everyone here has heard everything."Genevieve's heart sank as she glanced around the room, seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the guests. Some were whispering to each other, others simply stared in disbelief. She clenched her jaws when she saw some of the women muttering things to themselves.Nathaniel, standing near the back of the room, seemed lost in thought, his mind clearly occupied with the implications of what had ju

The phone rang several times before Genevieve answered, her voice weary. "Theo, it’s late. Haven't you gone home yet? What do you want?"Theodore took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "Genevieve, why didn’t you ever do anything about Lucas? You knew he was cheating on you, and yet you did nothing. You knew that lowlife was cheating on you,yet you did nothing!! You didn't tell me!! You didn't let father know!!!."There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Finally, Genevieve spoke, her tone defensive. "It’s complicated, Theo. Marriage isn’t as black and white as you think. There are things you don’t understand.""Complicated?" Theodore's voice rose, his frustration boiling over. "What’s so complicated about standing up for your rights? You let him walk all over you, humiliate you! Even though he's a lowlife!!! Why didn’t you teach him a lesson?"Genevieve sighed deeply"Do you think I didn’t want to? Do you think I didn’t lie awake at night, thinking of ways to

"Why?" Lucas fired, watching her go on with the wine she had in her hand drinking. His face and part of his clothe was bloody but he did not mind it, waiting for the answer he has come to get. "Why what?" Faye replied nonchalantly, dropping the glass by the side table."Why did you do that Faye?" He asked again, this time his voice louder."I just gave her a gift. Like she did to me. I only returned the favor"Lucas was angry and was not having it. He went over to the table and smashed the wine bottle and glass on the floor."How dare you do that Faye? How dare you???? How dare you broadcast my wife and i's conversation?" He thundered." Your wife?" Faye repeated after him.She chuckled." Isn't that what she is?" Replied back. " I felt tired of being in the shadow. I felt tired of being the unknown woman. I wanted to be known, that was why I did what I did" she replied him and began walking to where her bag and clothes was, picking up her jacket to cover her hands that were bare fr

"Theodore Montenegro?" The police called and Theodore turned back to look behind him from his father's office he was in. "You are under arrest for charges of corruption and other forms of abuses. Please stand up and place your hands behind your back" "Corruption? Theodore repeated, surprised by the number of men that came to arrest him." There must be some mistake!" He Interjected looking at his father who seemed disappointed."You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you""This is ridiculous! I demand to speak to my lawyer immediately!" He screamed as he got hand cuffed. "You can contact your lawyer once we get to the station. For now, please cooperate and come with us."They began to lead him out of the building, the eyes of his colleagues and employees following in shock and disbelief that the former governor was being a

"What is it now? Who is here to see me again?" Theodore grumbled as he came out to the visiting area again, grumbling it might be another person coming to taunt him like his wife had.Looking at the figure standing tall before him, his blood began to boil."To what do I owe this visit Lucas?" He asked and began to laugh, looking him from his head to his toes, wondering how and what made him grow wings enough to think of selling him out."I came to tell you that this was my reply" Lucas said." What?" Theodore replied him, confused."You dared me. This is my reply"For a while Theodore stood and watched him, torn between laughing and screaming at him for keeping tabs at him in the past."You touched my woman Theo, you touched her in places you shouldn't have. She belonged to me but you dated me" he continued, telling him the main reason he had replied him.He moved Faye, alot like he had always told her and he couldn't watch Theodore walking up and down without anything being done to
