What did she think? That I would deny how exactly I feel about them? Hell no! I have done that for the longest time. Did she think that I was going to apologize for anything? To hell with anything wrong with the love of my life coming back into my life with a bundle of joy. The only person who needs to apologize is that soul responsible for the anger that Irma feels toward me right now.“Spare your wife the torture, son!”“Just shut up, mom!” I state, and she narrows her eyes. I have never spoken to her this way. She must be really shocked at my outbursts and disrespect, but I am thinking of the worst of her right now. She and this other witch. They are the last persons who crashed with Irma before she left. I have a sense that one of them here is to be blamed for how Irma sees me now.“You just met that witch for the first time in five years and you are acting this way? What did she do to you, son? Better still, what did she tell you?” My mother asks, fixing her eyes on me as if sear
We perch on the dining area - only me and Julie for the first because Angel is still upset with us. She has refused to come down for breakfast and I didn’t have the strength to fight with he over this again. The little girl has made a pact with the devil to wreck the little peace of mind left in me. I don’t know what else I am expected to do again now. The heart-to-heart talk in not working at all. She does not want to listen to me or talk to me ar even see me. That is ripping my heart apart.I need her so much in the midst of this chaos. I miss her affection. She is my only solace and hope, but she has grown so far-flung from me.“Do not think too much! She will come around soon.” Julie tries to console.“How soon is that, Julie? I feel like she is drifting away from me every single minute. She is beginning to hate me for denying her the right to be with her daddy and no matter how much I try to explain, she does not understand. She does not want to understand.” I state, a very big c
That is the fulgent headline, inscribed in astronomic bold letters as if they were meant for people with eye-sight problems. I slam the phone on the table as Julie stands from the table going to only she knows where. I don’t even care to read the trash that is inscribed beneath the headline.Those pesky skanky media ninconpoops!How dare they? How dare they pair me with that repellent bastard! The sceret that no body knew? And they think this is all about it? Secret, their useless asses! What inept jerky tomfools! They don’t even know the whole story and yet they could not think twice before publishing this trash! They should have at least did a better job by digging deeper and know the root course of the story. The nerve!“In the bulleting, the photos of Mr. Mazur Junior, which have left everyone with questions have emerged on social media plaforms…” I spin around, facing the damn television where the scene like that I have seen on Julie’s phone greet me.Our photos. The three us.
“Why? Did you think you could hide forever? Or were you expecting someone else? Maybe my husband?"It is no longer her disconcerting, ugly-fugly visual aspect, but her anger for me. And who told this witch that I was hiding? Well, I won’t deny that I was, but that was until days ago! And how did she find my place? How did she know where I live if they were not together in all this, huh? It is only that sick bastard that knows where we stay, right? I knew it! They are all together. They are up to something. And Julie was right. They have launched a war and made their first move.“You have no right to be here! Get lost!” I say, turning to walk back into the house and concentrate on my attack, but she forces her way in, almost pushing me to the ground. I thank my strong stamina for giving me such a stable balance.This long-necked ostrich! The bitch got balls, huh! She is no different from them all! She is as rotten as them all. It is not like I expected any less from her, though. She wa
“What will you do? Why are you so secure of her? Why? Does she have some kind of magical disease that will catch me if I mention her name? Does she have some kind of disformity or something?” She speaks with mounted mockery.I alighn my face perfectly with hers atop of mine, making sure she reads my words pefectly because I swear I will not allow her to insult my daughter ever again and I don’t give a fuck what happens to me after breaking her neck is she dares.“My precious daughter is a gift from the Almight. A lot of people wished her nothing but harm when they learned of her existence in my womb. But God kept her safe and sound. She is perfectly fine. It is me who you should be wary of, Tarah, because I will kill you if you dare mention her name ever again. I swear!” I state, and she blinks a couple of times, swallowing hard as she tries to mobilize her scattered nerves.She didn’t expect that? She has seen or heard nothing. They just can not even begin to surmise my flaming wrat
Julie and I are at a loss for words with these two hotheads. Ray is throttling his wife with his murderous gaze while this witch is trying her best to avoid me and Julie. She is probably ashamed of us catching wind of their acrimonious marriage. As if we care!I am more than aghast. The way Ray is talking to her is so baffling. Actually, it is the way they are both acting—not like some jocund couple swimming on cloud nine with love and adoration, like it was said in the news.But all that aside, I don’t care whether they are blissful or miserable. But did I hear Ray ask this witch what she was doing here? So he did not know, or is it another pretense? How did she find us, then?‘Calm yourself down, Irma! You can never be too certain with these people. This might be yet another charade. They're maybe trying to fool you again with this.’ My inner voice howls, and I think I agree with it. It is too much of a coincidence that he didn’t know his fucking wife was here. Maybe they were toget
His wife stops when she realizes she is walking alone. She turns around with a heavily confounded face and drags her flamingo legs back.Ray takes a sip of his whiskey, which I would never have recommended. He looks extremely knocked off.“I said, Let us go, Ray!” She screeches between gritted teeth, as if getting wind of her puzzling husband’s weird behavior.“I don’t remember coming here with you. Just leave! I will leave when I feel like it!”Hello! He what? He will leave when he feels like it. This is my house. He is an unwelcome guest who I just asked to leave. I thought I made it clear that they both overstayed their unwelcome visit. What makes him think that he was axed from my statement?“I don’t understand, Ray. What exactly do you mean?” Tarah asked.She is still washed up in a stupor and mental rejection. I appreciate her question, though, because I am also curious about what is going on in this guy’s mind.“I came here to talk to Irma. Well, I don’t think I actually need t
“Mr. Rayson, I am asking you to kindly leave us in peace. You know you have no right to be here. Haven’t you caused my friend enough trouble?” Julie speaks.My mind is boiling with a zillion things to say to this jerk. I want to howl all the insolences from that night to him loud and clear. Maybe that will pull him from this heap of oblivion that he is pretending to be. But my anger is so deep that I do not know where to begin. I wish I could just let it all out in a single howl.“That is what your friend keeps shouting at me since I met her days ago. I want to know why. Only then can I understand exactly what I am being crucified for to the point of being denied the right to be a father to my only child!” He spoke, looking at me and not even blinking.Crusified, huh!“Realy? Then I will rub it on your face so that you will stop disturbing my best friend, Rayson. You and …” I grab Julie’s hand, stopping her from talking.This is my own battle. I appreciate her concerns and the will to
“Umh, my dear?” His father calls, and I turn to her, leaving Rey’s eyes scorching my skin. “I think it is time. And forgive me once again, but hold nothing against your friend. She is a good soul. I just needed to get to the root of all this, and I knew she was the only person who had the answers that I sought, aside from you, of course. She means well.”I knew it was. “So, this happens to be the evidence that you have been telling us, Irma? What is this all about? Where did that come from? Why do you have an old check for this huge amount from our company?” Ana asks.Well, I had not anticipated this happening any sooner, but I guess my father-in-law and my friends planned this well. I can’t lie anymore.I turn to Rey after looking at these two women, who look like they are about to pee in their pants. “I am…”“She asked me for the money. She blackmailed me!” Kathering snaps, confusing everyone.Even I am confused by her guts! I blackmailed her. Whith what? Or for what? She is so sham
The three of us once again trade quizzical glances. There is more.“What?” We all trace our heavily pregnant gazes to Katherine as she whimpers, “This joke is the worst of the pains, so what more is there, Mazur?” She asks.A joke? She is still refusing to believe that he is divorcing her, even with the divorcing headline in bold and staring right through her eyes. Not even his serious tone is enough to convince her. Poor woman! I wonder how she does not collapse after the next blow, and I am also eagerly waiting to know what it is.“I have frozen your cards, Katherine. From this moment on, you have nothing. You are barred from coming close to any of my companies because I have erased your name from everything that has my name on it. As for your children, I will leave it to them to decide. I want you to sign these papers and get out of my house.”Mr. Mazur’s words hang in the air like a heavy cloud. Silence has been the only sound for a long time. Fear and quiestions linger in the roo
“You can’t do that!” Tarah screams, sprining to her feet. “You know that you need us. You need the support of my family for this business. You can’t terminate this agreement. You can’t…”“Your parents and I, young lady,” Mr. Mazur cuts the hysterical parrot off, “have already talked. We agreed that this agreement was a mistake. It is not working. Since this mess has also touched their family because you are in the picture, they agreed to end it in peace and set our children free. We will refund all the investments that your company made in our empire once we do our calculations, and that will be the end of it. For now, all you both need is to sign the papers and go your separate ways.”Hello, to the moon and starts. Here I was thinking that I would be the one to have this bitch divorce my man, but it seems like the stars and the moon were working on my case. Blessed be unto the heavens, and to this man as well. God, please restore his health so that he can witness and be a part of the
We all get to Mr. Mazur’s room with fear and curiosity gnawing within the deepest parts of our souls. I know we are all worried. For instance, I have come to love this old man like a father. He adores my child and is excited to welcome the next one that is on the way. He has justified my stay in this house and my love affair with his son with sincere intent. How can I not love him?“Father? We are all here. I thought we had a party next week, which you were preparing for. What is with this sudden meeting?” Ray asks.And I know how much he adores his father. I remember how badly he pleaded with me not to harm his father. Our paths crossed in this second phase, and my hurt was pounding with waves of vengeance and wrath. He was willing to do anything, even to take up his father’s punishment on his behalf. And in the months that I have been in this house again, I know how deeply he cares for him. He and another love him so much. He may be rendered incapable of anything right now, but I se
Katherine remains mute, but her expressions ooze hurt and pain. It is like this is a bitter pill that she has to swallow.“Next time, don’t you dare go high and mighty on me, Katherine. You don’t want to cross, or else...”“Shut up!” Katherine shuts her up, her voice coming out between gritted teeth. “Don’t say something that you will regret,” she hisses again as they stand before each other like two antagonistic lions.I feel Rey shift beside me, and before I know it, he is standing up, taking me with him as he approaches them. They drop the rage when they sense us. As if we have not been watching the entire show. As if there is anything new with them. I know their secrets. I know they were together in that blackmail attack against me years ago. The person I pity is Rey, because I still have not found the courage to do what she did.I know that he deserves to know. I know that he has all the rights to know what his mother is capable of. I know he needs to know what his mother thought
I join the annoying party, hugging my fury at my claws because I am supposed to be having the best of this moment with Rey and not burning my arse here watching some manner of less arses drink their already inbriated arses off. Why did this b*tch even need us here? All they have been doing ever since we sauntered from the kitchen is just drink and pick on Rey and me. And she—I don’t understand why she had to stay this close to Rey. She annoyingly pressed against him on the left side while I was clinging to him on the right. The poor guy is so unconfortable and lost at the meaning of this whole thing, just as I am. And you, if all she wants is to show off, then I don’t need to succumb so low. I know who it is that matters to Rey. I am serious as fuck about where I stand in his life.I unbandage my hand from him and shift aside from him, an action that causes his to reach for my hand and shift closer, pining himself on me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. With ease and care, he g
She cloaks her anger for a minute, putting on her signature bitchy crown. But today, her act is not working decently. Even through her iciness, you can still pick up the pecks of anger, hurt, and shame. Bingo, Irma Rose! You are serving this diet, which is the recommended diet. Thumbs up! Stuff her more!“Do not be too sure. And, by the way, how did it feel to see me kissing my husband, whom you can’t stop swooning over? I saw how you almost collapsed with utter stupor and hurt. Did your heart break into pieces after witnessing us kissing?” She asks, almost emitting a smirk.Sha! This witch is so cheap at deriving plans. Was that the only way she could come up with to rile me? My! My! She should have asked me for some advice to spice up her rubbishy, unsuccessful plan. She couldn’t even pull off something to equal a kiss. Such a pathetic loser!“I admit I was thunderstruck and hurt at first seeing Rey’s lips on your disgustful ones for a second. But then, reality slapped me—that was a
After a moment, she clears her throat myriad times, scraping the back of her neck as if she has an itchy skin disease. She is still dreaded in ignominy and bewilderment, and her friends are still looking at her with dismay and shock. She could have prepared them instead of trying to showcase something that isn’t real.“I will just get some glasses. Feel at home and make yourself comfortable on the seats.” She is still battling with her conflicting sentiments.Her friends start dragging their confused bodies to the seats where Rey is perched, while she starts towards me. I was about to get out of her way, but she grabs my hand and drags me inside the kite with her.The door slams shut behind us, the fresh scent of our raw sex with Rey minutes ago slams our nostrils, and we stare at each other like two antagonistic lionesses that we in reality are.I roughly jerk my hand away from this bitch!“What in the devil’s name were you doing in here with my husband?” Tarah screeches after I snat
“What were you doing in there? Been screaming your name for minutes, hun!” I hear that bitch’s voice as I finish cleaning myself up with the Soviets.Hun? Since when? And what is that annoying cheeselike tone? Trying to play some lovey-dovey games to fool her fucking guests? I reckon she is even clinging to my Rey’s arm or fixing the nothingness on his tee just to show off. Bitch!“Uuuu! Spare us, will you?"Spare us?From what?Silence!There is no voice from that witch, and these parrots of hers are just cheering; only the devil knows what. I detest those shrieking sounds! They are making my ears itch! I fix my hair and walk out feeling so raw and content, and...And dumbstruck!The heartbreaking visual visage of my Rey and Tarah together with their lips pressed so iniquitously against each other impairs my visual sense for a minute.Holly fuck!I slam my back on the closed kitchen door the minute it closes. A tinge of stinking jolts down my spinal tube, almost paralyzing me. My who
