They had just finished having a good time in the shower - kissing and tender rubbing; exploring each other’s bodies. Fenris and Lumi ate at each other like animals in heat. They got out of the shower exhausted. Both parties slept off. Fenris woke up about 45 minutes later. Lumi was still asleep. He took his keys and phone from the drawer and prepared to step out of the house. Knowing Rowan and how busy he could be, he decided to put a call through to him. But his line was unreachable. So he called Quinn. He had a little crush on her. She was his nightfall at Nightfall Gems. “Fenris, my guy! How are you doing?” “I’m good Quinn. How are you doing? “Couldn’t have been better.” “Is Rowan at home?” “He is not coming back tonight. He is at the office.” “Oh really. Thanks.” Just then, Lumi woke up – enquiring where he was headed. “To see Rowan.” “Hope no problem dear?” “No, my love. You can go back to sleep. It’s just working.” “Alright take care.” Lumi drowsily slept off.
“I’m not the person you were expecting to see right?”Quinn showed up behind Didi who turned in surprise. He never lost his composure though. He just laughed.“How may I help you?”Quinn had shown up in front of Didi.They were meeting in a secluded area. At a mountain top.“I came to visit you, my friend.”Quinn had worn a face mask so Didi couldn’t recognize who she was. And he had not seen her much at the company – or interacted with her as such.“To what do I owe this visit? Lumi sent you to kill me.”“No Sweet. The opposite.”Didi rushed at her – trying to overpower them.Quinn blew her whistle and 50 hefty skilled fighters appeared.She knew his weakness from the stories Lumi told her – he single-handedly worked alone whenever he penetrated his evil deeds. He didn’t have a team or accomplices.“Now are you ready to cooperate with me in saving your life? If I had wanted you dead, I won’t be negotiating with you this instant. It’d have been an instant kill. But here I am being ben
“So how much am I paying you for what you have done for me?” “We never negotiated payment. And that’s because I’m not interested in collecting money from you.” Quinn emphasised. “No, I have to compensate you heavily.” “When I need a payback, I will let you know. Now is not the time to pay me back.” “So when will that be?” “Pay me back by making up with Lumi.” “Why are you so concerned?” “Because I put myself in her shoes.” “Try putting yourself in my shoes rather.” “What else do you want from her, Fenris? At least she came clean and told you everything.” “Yes she did. But why did she take so long?” “Stop being difficult.” “What if she is pregnant for him?” “Let’s focus on the present. She isn’t pregnant yet.” “I can’t harbour any bastard child in my house – especially from that devil.” “Don’t worry – she won’t get pregnant. Now focus on rekindling the love you guys had.” “I thought you hated Lumi. What changed?” “Well, she could be annoying. But she is a good woman lik
Pam didn’t just stay a day in Gisela’s place.It was nearing a month. And she was yet to leave.Gisela had no problem with it.Dashiell enjoyed Pam’s presence in the house.One would think that since Pam was at home to ease the workload, Gisela would devote more time to her husband.Not at all.Rather Gisela was always put shopping with the kids or at one of their games.When she wasn’t there, she busied herself with church activities and volunteering at workshops.She saw it as a period to invest in herself and the growth of her neighbouring community.“Babe, I’m happy with all these you are doing. But don’t I get some of your time and attention?” Dashiell had said one day.“Stop whining like a baby as if sex is food. Do you want to kill me for my parents?”And that was it – the response that made Dashiell give up on pursuing her.Over time, she noticed he wasn’t disturbing her for sex any more.And she felt relieved.But then it was six months down the lane. And he never bothered to
“I just found out that my uncle is dead. And I suspect you have a hand in this. Start talking this minute – I need to know what happened!” Rowan barked at Quinn.“Slow down, Rowan. Where did you get this information?”“A lady by the name Gabriella. She claimed to be his mistress or something. And she also told me he was assassinated. You are the only cold-blooded assassin I know – who’d kill a man that way.”“I see she told you everything. Did she also tell you her friend’s life was endangered?”“That’s not enough reason to take justice in your hands. Why didn’t I know about this?”“Did she also tell you he blackmailed Lumi by making a sex tape? He raped that lady after making her unconscious! And you are here saying that’s not enough reason! Nothing is ever enough reason for you! That’s why you keep having more than enough women!”“Wait – you taking this way too personally. Didi was my uncle!”“No, he killed your father! He wanted your company! Did you also know that?”“Gabriella did
“Fenris! You made my wife kill my uncle!”“What are you talking about?”Rowan dealt him a thunderous blow.“How dare you walk into my home and hit me.”Fenris dealt him a more powerful blow.Hearing the noise from where she was sitting on the balcony, she rushed to meet Rowan and Fenris at a brawl.She intercepted them by crossing their middle.“What the hell is going on here?” Lumi was panting heavily after separating them.“He is accusing me of killing his uncle.”Lumi blinked. She had a huge inclination that Fenris was behind her deliverance that day. Now it was time to cover for him.“He wasn’t the one. I hired an assassin to kill him.”There was pin-drop silence.Both Fenris and Rowan were surprised at her response.“What did you say?” Rowan took slow steps towards her.“He raped me and tried to blackmail me just so that he could steal your company from you!” Lumi was screaming by now.Rowan didn’t know how to feel.“Young lady, I’m so sorry he did all that to you. But poetic jus
Lumi was locked up behind bars. Fenris humbled himself before Rowan so she could get a release. “Please, Rowan. We were just about to wed.” “Wed? With your high-income salary, her unsatiated dad will never allow you to marry her. Quit wasting your time and her time.” “Is that why you won’t release her.” “Yes. I’m giving you a chance to move on.” “No, I wouldn’t do that. I’m a mess without her.” “Oh really. If you want her out of there, then let me tell you what you can do for her.” “Anything. I’d do anything, Rowan.” “Switch places with her,” Rowan demanded. “That’s what you need to do.” “What?! How can you tell me to switch places with her?!” “Then move on, young man. I’m bringing you on the Board of Council – thanks to her.” “Just like that?” “No. It didn’t happen just like that. I wanted to see how badly you wanted that position. And her sacrifices spoke for you. Even went to the extent of killing my uncle.” “But she did what she did out of self-defence.” “She still k
Pam was back at her house.She had wanted to stay much longer at Gisela’s place but she didn’t want her friend to start getting suspicious.Moreso, Dashiell clung to her like a bee on honey.He was getting fuggy with the sex dew she had on him.Even now, he wouldn’t leave her alone.He kept visiting her frequently – bearing gifts and handwritten notes.This particular afternoon, after work, he visited her.She was wrapped up in her skimpy towel and was about to go take a shower.“It’s me, baby.” Dashiell lively announced his arrival.She could recognize his voice.“But you visited yesterday.”“I know I did. I just love seeing your beautiful face.”By now, Pam had opened the door. And welcomed him with a warm hug and wet kisses.“I missed you.” Dashiell continued with the kissing.Pam left her mouth to do the talking with the way she returned his kisses.Then she took a break.“I cooked some sumptuous meal. I would like you to eat right away. I’ll be back in a jiffy.” Pam excused herse
