As soon as the young men left, Phoebe dragged Carol into her room after hastily unlocking the door. 'Tell me exactly what happened. Don't leave put any detail'. She Implored. 'There's not much more to tell. I was on my way back from work when I was abducted. I was taken unawares be ause I hadn't been expecting it. They gaged me, so my shouts was muffled. They took me through a path I cannot recall to a mountainous area and the five of them were going to take their turns with me. They said something about sharing the amount the person who sent then had given them. But when they started unzipping my cloths and theirs, I knew I had to do something. desperate situations called for desperate measures. I did not know where the strength came from, maybe from the survival instinct. But I managed to get the gag out my mouth and screamed. They immediately clasped their hands overy mouth and we're going to strangle me. They removed their hands only when the Gaga was firmly in place again. But
Phoebe was recalled to the present by what Jason said that she had missed because of her flashback into her life.'I'm sorry, what did you say?' she asked smiling winningly.'I asked if you would like to dance with me?'There was music playing and alot of couples were already taking to the dance floor. Jason also saw some ladies giving him the eye and knew that they were expecting him to dance with them but he would not have done anything about it except that he suddenly saw Sophie Palmer coming his way.He knew that if he delayed, he would end up dancing with Sophie and that was not what he had in mind. The woman disgusted him. He knew her type and he had got enough of that type to last him a lifetime because she was exactly the same as his ex- wife.'I thought you'd never ask', Phoebe smiled as they moved together to the dance floor.It was walz and Phoebe was a good dancer.When they had been together, Rebecca his wife, had made sure he perfected the act of dancing since she was th
Phoebe had a contrary feeling concerning the intimacy she had just shared with Jason.Though she could not sincerely say it was the best sex she had had but it was great all the same and more than that was her desire to make the man she had been intimate with her husband.She was tired of working her ass off for ungrateful men.Richard had cheated on her though all that she had ever done was to keep him happy and we'll provided for.It was true that she ended up enjoying her liaison with her boss but she had gone into it in the first place to get more money to satisfy Richard's ever increasing desires and demands.When she had returned the next day as she had promised Richard in her disguise, she had come back with her travelling bag.He had welcomed her with open arms.'You are back again,my love' he had said.'Yes I am'.'Now what can I get you?''You do not have to bother yourself. I do not want anything but you'.Phoebe under her disguise had seen the elation in his eyes and her h
'Phoebe!' he whispered still in shock as soon as he found his voice. 'What are you doing here?''The last time I checked, this was my house. Do I need anyone's permission to come into my own house?' she asked enjoying herself and his discomfiture.'No, of course not. I meant that I did not expect you back so soon. You had told me you would be back tomorrow when we spoke on the phone last night. This could only mean....''Finally. You are thinking! I never left in the first place'.'But why?''Why? Are you really asking me why? I have sacrificed everything for you right from the time we met but you never really appreciated me nor the things that I do for you. You carry on with other ladies behind my back and pretend you love me. I do alot to ensure that you are satisfied and comfortable but you do not care about that do you? You are too self-centered and greedy to think about any other person but yourself.I have watched your activities these past few days and I could not believe that
Jason was relieved when he eventually got into his room. The party was too loud. He was not bothered that his presence would be missed because he knew that his sister was more than capable of taking care of things. She had always been the perfect hostess, so he was sure everything was in control, though he knew he would have to come down eventually and bid his guest farewell and thank them for honouring his invitation like the ideal host. Else, it would really be very rude of him.He changed his clothes and went down to the hall where the party was going on. He was just in time because alot of people were already getting ready to leave and had been asking of him.Sally looked up and smiled.'Well,here he is. I did tell you that he would be right down'.'You did, indeed'. They said smiling up at Jason as he climbed down the stairs.After performing his duty as the ideal host by wishing his guest farewell,he slumped on a chair exhausted. The smile he had pasted on his cheek and all the
'I could have been with someone else and both of you could have felt awkward if she had seen you come in this way and at such a time as this as though you were the lady of the manor. I am sorry if my words hurt you but it is the truth and you should always keep our type of relationship in mind'. Jason said as gently as he possibly could.'I saw you come in because I had been anxiously waiting for you'.At Jason's raised eyebrows, she hastened to assure him.'No, there isn't any problem. I was just watching and waiting for you only because I wanted to spend the night with you if you permit it.I also saw that you came in alone and looked stressed and wanted to kill two birds with a stone - satisfy my want as well as help reduce your stress. But maybe I got it all wrong. I shall be on my way out. My intention was not to aggravate you further'.As she made to leave, Jason drew her back into his arms. For a moment there, he thought that he was beginning to get ideas of permanence into he
Jason got to the office the next day earlier than usual because he wanted to see where he could place Nancy and where she would not have to stress herself overmuch but he was surprised to find that his most trusted and efficient secretary, Mrs Amos, who was always the first to arrive had still not arrived. This was quite unlike her. He had decided as he drove to the office this morning that he was going to get Nancy to assist Mrs. Amos. She was very efficient it was true and she had never given him cause for complaints but it was also true that she was getting on in age and needed someone to assist her. He had thought about this before but had not really been serious about implementing it because he had been busy with other things which was quite unlike him because those he was a strict boss who likes his employees to be disciplined, he was also not one to take the welfare of his staff lightly.Now, there was no reason for him not to get Mrs. Amos an assistant. Nancy had said that sh
When Jason had wanted a reliable secretary, and had advertised for it and alot of people had applied.Yound and old alike but he had felt that Sandra would be just well. So he had chosen her and anyway, she had not disappointed him during the interview and all through the years, he had had no cause to regret his decision.She had really served him. When her husband had died about five years ago, he had taken it upon himself to foot the bills for his burial. Jason had considered it the least that he could do for such a loyal and dedicated member of his staff.Their relationship had become even closer since then. That was where he had come to know about her daughter and who had come with her husband and two sons.Mrs. Amos had buried herself in her work, not wanting to dwell over much on the death of her husband. She had loved her husband so much that if not for the demands of her job, his loss would have taken a great toll on her.Her job had become her solace and Jason's friendship an
