I shook my head as I looked around, trying to make sense of what was happening. Could it be that I was the same woman that he hooked up with that night or was there someone else. As I looked around, trying to understand exactly what was going on, I could not help but wonder if it was all a make up story. "Tell this is some sort of prank or something." I said to her and watched as confusion washed over her. "What are you talking about?" It wasn't worth it. I suddenly decided that it was not worth my time having to get into the conversation with her. "Okay, let me understand something now." I said. "Your parents told you guys about the marriage and he left the dinner like that? And he went to hook up with some woman?" "Yes " I wasn't sure I was prepared to know what the answer to my next question would be but I had to ask. While trying to control my voice and steady my hands, I asked her"Do you have any idea who the woman he ended up with that night was?" I asked. "No but by yo
"You okay?" She asked me as she stopped to stare at me once again. "Umm, yes. I am good." "Okay, because you blacked out for a moment there. Is everything alright with you?" She was a great observer and it freaked me out. I looked around, trying to get my thoughts together before I answered. Any little mistake I made would definitely not go unnoticed by the girl. "Umm, yes. I am. I'm just surprised that he could be that cruel. I mean why would he do something like that? Why would he go to that extend just to hurt good people?" "Well, it's quite simple. He is nothing but a pathetic liar. And you may not believe me right now but I am extremely happy that you are not in love with someone like him.""I am grateful about that as well. But does he have any other bad news that I should know about? I mean, I am living with him and I think for my safety, I actually deserve to know if he is just a person I should avoid totally or if he is worth saving?" She looked at me in shock as if I h
I looked at Daniel and for a second, I actually felt pity for him. He was a young troubled man who had to make such ridiculous demands on himself simply because he was trying to meet up with the expectations of his family. I could tell that the only reason he was actually behaving so stupidly was because he knew his life was going to be caged immediately he finished school and so he decided to use the opportunity he had to do all the wild and crazy things that he ever wanted to do in life. I know Sandra had told me to not try and make excuses for him but as I looked at him, all I could see was a man who was extremely troubled and it became very obvious to me exactly what was going on with him. I couldn't exactly blame him. He didn't know how to react to the circumstances surrounding his life and so he acted out by getting himself involved with every little woman that he saw. He wanted a taste of them all before he finally settled down to marry someone that he did not love. I know
I stared at this man in horror. He could not have left his queen just to come here and chit chat. I knew that he needed something from me and I was going to figure out exactly what he wanted, I just hoped that I didn't get myself injured in the process of trying to do that. "How did you find me?" I asked him. "Well it wasn't that difficult really. I know you well enough and I know that when you are pissed, you like to hang around places like this to try and see if the will be any difference in your life. I gotta ask though, did it work?" "What the hell are you talking about?" I could feel my blood rising. I wasn't comfortable with having him so close to me and I knew that I had to do something quickly if I wanted to get rid of him."Well after you embrassed me and maybe even embrassed our entire family, you are here to see if you can actually relax. How is that going for you?" My brain exploded. And my rage rose. He could not actually be serious, could he? Could he actually be say
"Did you just say that she is your ex girlfriend?" I asked him. Even if the young man was lying to me, I would not have known but still, I wanted to hear those words come out from his mouth in a way that will prove to me that I wasn't actually losing my mind. And then maybe, just maybe I would remember that this guy actually had body movements that I could observe and maybe detect if he was lying or not. But I could not see anything of that sort and the more I thought about it, the harder it became for me to actually assure myself that I would see anything. It didn't take too long before I noticed that his eyebrows were arched, his eyes were filled with confusion and he took a bold Stance."Yes she is my ex girlfriend and I am guessing from the surprised look on your face, she didn't mention anything like that to you, now did she?" I asked. "No, she didn't mention anything like that." I agreed, not wanting to play a game of hide and seek with him. "And I am also guessing that beca
I watched as he sat there, not knowing what to say to me and his head was in his hand. I knew he was regretting the fact that he did not pay Sandra to keep shut and in that moment, I was happy that Sandra was a grown woman with her own money so he could not even do that no matter how much he wanted to. It was obvious that he never wanted me to know because now that I knew what he was hiding, I would be more than careful around him and I would not even allow him to touch me at all. It would be simpler now and I knew exactly what I was going to do to prevent him from having the last laugh. "You really are not going to say a thing are you?" I asked him and he lifted his head up. I saw regret and sorrows in his eyes or maybe I was just being misled once again by this man. If he could lie about his life in the manner that he did, I wondered what else he could lie about without even bathing an eyelid. "Liv,.." "Do not call me that! That name is reserved for only family and friends and
Daniel stood up speedily and walked up to me as I stood still and looked at him. My heart was pounding in my chest and I had goosebumps all over my body. I didn't know what the plan was but I could tell that he wanted to look into my eyes and say his next words, hoping that it will have some impact on me. "What the actual hell is going on here? Why do you always chose to never believe any words that comes out of my mouth. I have told you over and over again that I love you. Please believe me because I won't lie to you about this." I arched an eyebrow at him and he sighed knowing what he had done. "Okay fine. I have told you twice but in my book that still counts as over and over again." And then he chuckled, trying to lighten the mood and I looked at him and smiled. "Okay fine. I should not be making jokes right now but you need to understand that I won't keep saying this if it wasn't true. My plan was never to fall in love with my own sister or anyone that I may have family relat
As Daniel spoke, I could see the regret he had about those incidents in his eyes. I know that he did not like the fact that such things were actually happening to him. Sandra didn't tell the story like this and I wondered why. Could it be that she did it on purpose or could it be that she did it because we didn't have enough time to talk? "I know that I messed up and that I should have done the right thing and given them money or better still, I should not have allowed them to go through with that abortion but you have to understand me, these women only wanted my money. They never really loved me and they wanted to trap me with pregnancy.""Dad and I did what we had to do to protect our reputation because we know very well that if we ever meet a woman like that and allow her into our family, she will not hesitate to take everything that belongs to us and do whatever she please with it. Dad was trying to avoid trouble and so am I." "Liv, please say something. Your silence is killing
