There are many things Denzel was never sorry about; fucking his college roommate's girlfriend and sister in the same week, nor the numerous married women with visible wedding rings on their fingers.
But here he was in the comfort of a twenty-five storey building, in the middle of New York city, having of all things, regret. He scoffs.
"For fuck’s sake, Denzel, how did you allow yourself to fall so deeply in love with a woman? Not just any woman, Denzel, a damn fucking maid!" Now furiously pacing around his office, he smashed the figurine his mother had given him as a symbol of his strength when he decided to leave behind his glamorous and adventurous modeling career with a lot of boobs and asses to come sit in a God-forsaken dangling chair all day, telling grown people what to do and convincing people who obviously didn't like him on why he should remain CEO.
“What has Katie done to him?” he ponde
Kate had always been a woman that expected more from relationships, for her, love, faithfulness, and commitment must always be captured in the scenery of romance. But here she was, with a chronic Casanova who obviously had trailed her from her last job to this one. She knew she was too fragile and Denzel was nothing but trouble."When are you gonna give up, Denzel?”"Not in a billion years, I guess," Denzel responded."I love you, Kate, I really do and this is not the kind of words that escapes my mouth easily, hell!! I'm quite sure I have never said those words to any woman that wasn't my mother."Kate adjusted her apron and a flush of frustration ran rapidly across her face, she knew she couldn't deny this fact, she loved Denzel and she was helpless about it. She only wished he could disappear from her life, never to return. This torture of having to deny her heart and her body this inf
Kim's call had woken Denzel earlier than usual; Frey had called an emergency board meeting, and she had informed Denzel. He was going to argue the merits of Denzel trying to align the company to a man as vile as Raash.He was a non-apologetic conservative who believed in the grounded structural status quo of patriarchy. He was a man that didn't hide his views, “a man of the past” as Frey would put it.Denzel hurried downstairs, almost missing a step, and yelled out in frustration."Where is this damn maid?"Denzel, realizing he might be talking to himself and sounding both stupid and crazy at the same time. "Fuck!!" he yelled out. When he remembered it was too early for the new maid to have resumed her duties. He quickly hurried to the kitchen, made himself a cup of coffee amidst the humming sound of the microwave, followed shortly by a “ding” sound reminding
Kate sat on the marble veranda floor of her family's house. She had driven home to pick up some things she needed to be comfortable enough; an excuse she had given her boss, who had taken a liking to her, to allow her to travel home and basked in the memories of loving moments her family home held.She sat there staring into the nothingness of the suburbs. The smell of hustle, and the bustling energy of her neighborhood. The sight of boys and girls with nothing but dreams on their hands attempting to take on the world, as she had done, she had to take a job since her senior year in high school to support her mum who had quit her job after being diagnosed with cancer. And since that day she came home with a white envelope contains her test result, he life had spiraled down. Kate had grown up sooner than most of her peers ever had to. She knew she had to give life everything she's got because she was already behind, life's odds were instantly stacked against her.
The busy traffic of Manhattan had made a siege on Eva's car. She was going home from a hectic day after managing to find herself the past few days. She still hasn't recovered from the thought of Denzel picking a housemaid over her.She still remembered that night as vivid as a clear sky. After they had the most explosive sex, Kate had interrupted with a buzz at the door of Denzel's house. And then like a man under the spell of an enchantress, Denzel had left her and ran after Kate almost naked. What is so special about her? she was just a maid or was she more? she thought to herself.Eva still wondered what was so wrong with her that Denzel has not been able to see her, she only wished he could just love her, or maybe even care for her a bit, or pretend to show he did. But what is even more hurtful was the fact that she couldn't forgive herself for loving him so much and letting herself become obsessed with him, he was her first love a
The Police sirens were blaring all over the street intersection. There had been an accident. Denzel had managed to swerve out of the way from a drunk driver that was driving in the wrong lane with the police chasing him down."That was close," Denzel said letting out a loud sigh.The Sedan had pulled up behind him, and Stan had emerged from it walking towards Denzel hurriedly and knocked off his windshield, obviously pissed off."What the hell man, you left me at the bar with Priya, driving to nowhere almost drunk! Are you trying to kill yourself?"That was when Denzel remembered he had actually gone to the bar with Stan in his Mercedes to meet up with Stan's fiancé, Priya, and her friends."Sorry man, I needed to see her," Denzel added."No. What you need is a cold bath and some rest. Move over, let me drive you home".&
"Hello miss Kate, my name is Doctor Dylan. How are you feeling today?""Where am I?"Kate had managed to respond after momentarily scanning her surroundings, noticing a slender looking man with quite a lot of hair on his head, and smiling young women with blue colored clothes trying so hard to keep her calm and relaxed from the confusing scenery of her waking up somewhere that was as unpleasant to her as a hospital."You are in a hospital in downtown Manhattan, you were involved in a shooting earlier today at the restaurant you worked at,”"Sho... Shooting... The shooting of what?" Kate had managed to let out after managing to gather her obviously paralleled thought pattern."What is your name?" Doctor Dylan had inquired. After realizing he had not followed the correct questioning pattern because he had underestimated the impact of the incident on he
Denzel could not hide his joy; his happiness was spilling over onto his face. It's been a long time coming; this was the best news he has had in a long while. After much persuasion, Kate had finally decided to quit her job at the restaurant to come work for him as his maid, or friend or lover. Whatever capacity she wanted to work was fine by him.He hasn't been able to sleep since yesterday night when Kate informed him, she had finally decided to come back to work, and she wanted what he had promised; a fivefold salary increase. That was nothing to Denzel, he could pay her even more if she had asked.Denzel had tossed all night anticipating her return; he was yet to inform Mia that her job had been offered to someone else, that quite didn't want it. Denzel felt guilty, he couldn't bring himself to sack Mia, especially not after she had sucked his cock so well, he had always tried to replay that scene in his head each time he was alone.
Karen had been pacing around the penthouse all day. Denzel had ignored her or was rather cold towards her at the office today."We will talk later in the day," he had told her, after several attempts she had made to intentionally run into him at the office today.Karen had been anxious all day, speculating what might be running through Denzel's mind. She didn't love him, she couldn't bring herself to love someone like Denzel, she needed him to get through college and maintain her newfound luxury lifestyle.She was earning twice of what most permanent staff were earning in Denzel's company as an intern, not to talk about the numerous designer gifts she got, coupled with the countless orgasms he gave to her. She was scared of losing all that if indeed Denzel was planning to get rid of her, she needed him, at least to get through her final year in college.There was a knock at the door, and Karen rushed to the door."Good evening Mr. Denzel," Karen mu
Kate stared blankly into the street ahead and let the tears flow from her eyes. She sat on the roadside bench and waited for Collins. He had promised he would come and pick her up. The cold evening breeze blew against her body and she shivered but she was too sad to cover herself. Neither did she care about her brutal wind. She could only blame herself. She had been foolish to believe she could find committed love with Denzel.Collins' car pulled over and he rushed out to meet her. When he noticed he was shivering, he took off his jacket and covered her. Kate sniffed and thanked him. Collins sat beside her, and for a moment, no words were spoken. Collins wondered what happened. Whatever it was, he knew it was terrible. Kate's box was standing behind the bench."You were right," she said with a light chuckle. "Denzel didn't deserve me and I was too foolish to see it.""I'm sorry, Kate."Kate pursed her lips and sobbed."Stop crying, Kate. Whatever it is, he doesn't deserve your tears.
Four NYPD vehicles blared along the road to the house of Raymond Dantley. The winter clouds had been dissipated by the sun and the morning dew soaked the tarmac. The cold winter breeze still blew and the men wore their police jackets and sipped hot coffee – their bosses swallowed bottles of gin in their office.The four vehicles came to a halt in front of Ray’s compound and instructions were given. Five cops, armed with a rifle, surrounded the perimeter of the house while the rest three made their way in. The truck loaders who were sniffing some of the drugs they stole were the first criminals they caught.“This is the New York state police department,” one of the officers recited with his rifle pointed steadily at them. There was no escape. “Your hands where I can see them.”Another police officer cuffed their hands from behind. He inspected the substance. “Codeine.”“Take us to your boss. A single mistake and I’ll blow your brains out.”***Stephen watched from afar as the four poli
The men were up long before dawn. Silently, they moved about their duties. In the underground warehouse, several boxes containing codeine, Vicodin, and oxycontin were labelled and placed on each other. The men in the lab were dressed in white overall coat inspected samples before they were lifted to the ground floor. The boxes were carried into the compound and loaded into a truck carrying the Culid company logo. The men ardently placed the boxes of hard drugs in between cartons of beverages.When they had finished uploading the boxes, Roland slapped the back of the vehicle and the driver started the engine. Roland slid into the passenger seat and lit a cigarette. He pushed his cigarette box to him.“Want some?”Tarry, the truck driver shook his head and reached for a bottle of gin. “Gin does it better.” He took a gulp and passed the bottle to Roland. “How’s the boss?”Roland took a gulp. “Mad as hell. He wants Stephen.”“Heard millions of dollars was missing.”“Raash wants his cut, n
Eva heard everything. The sounds of the birds singing on the tree outside her window. The yellings of the crazy men outside her door. The clicking sounds of shoes that belonged to the psychiatrist. At night, she could hear the creeping sounds of the bugs that wanted to feast on her. She hated the place. And she hated that she was locked with crazy people. She wasn’t crazy. She was only fighting for a love that was hers and Daniel betrayed her.The three nights at the mental home had been hell for Eva. The therapy sessions were worse. She sat, hand cuffed, before a man dressed in white overall coat.“Eveline. Can I call you that?”“I’m Eva?”“How are you this morning?”“I can’t be fine as long as I am held in this hell hole.”“Are you ready for a session?”“I’m not mad!”“You tried to kill a woman who dis nothing to you thrice.”“She took my man.”“He isn’t yours.”“How do you know that?!”“Because he said so. Eva, he was only your boyfriend in high school.”“You don’t know anything.”
Kate returned home after listening to Denzel’s voicemail. He explained why he was silent after discovering Eva had caused the accident and also threatened to kill her. He also pointed to her that he never had sex with Eva. Kate was too ashamed to remain in Collins’ company – much had been said and done. Going home was a relief.When she arrived, Denzel wasn’t in. There was a note stuck to the fridge in the kitchen explaining that he had gone to see his father. Kate sat down and thought about the event of the morning. She wondered if she would have enough courage to tell Denzel and she wondered how he would react.She busied herself all afternoon with responding to emails from contractors and business men. A particular fashion celebrity had been pleased with her fashion line and proposed partnership.It was a delightful news.Kate thought about how busy she was going to become as a design creator. She knew it was worth the time it would rob off her. She thought about telling Denzel the
Kate felt awkward and Collins sensed it. “Come in,” he said and moved out of the entrance. Kate stepped into the apartment. It was her first time coming to his place since he moved into New York.“We had an argument,” she explained.Collins closed the door and followed her in. “Was it because of what I told you earlier?”Kate sat down and sighed deeply. “I deserved to know, Collins. I could have died.”He took a seat opposite her. “Does he know you’re here?”Kate shook her head. “He doesn’t know I left the house.” She heaved a sigh. “I just wanted h to explain himself and then he left me.”“Does he know about your fears?”She shook her head. “He never asked.”“How about tea?”“Great.”Kate glanced around the room. She recognized some portraits from his previous house at New Rochelle. Collins loved art and he gathered artistic works. Whenever he was stressed or leisured, he painted.He returned shortly with two cups of hot tea.“Thanks,” she said.Collins thought about what she said ea
Denzel glanced at his sore eyelid in the mirror and decided it was better if he wore sunshades. He combed his hair, inspected his see eyes again, and exited the room. The news of Eva’s arrest had been communicated to him the previous night and he planned visiting her to give her a piece of his mind. But presently, he was on his way to the hospital. When he reached SEW 7, Kate was awake, and was having breakfast. She noticed the sunshades he wore.“What’s with the sunshades?” she asked.Denzel ignored the question until he was by her side. “Nothing.”Kate frowned. “I want to see your eyes then.”Denzel hesitated. “I fell.” Kate’s frown deepened. “I wanna see it.”Denzel took off the shades and Kate gasped softly. “This isn’t a fall. What happened?”“Nothing. I gotta go now. I’ll be here to pick you up by 6pm.”He eased out of the room. Denzel’s next stop was at the station. Eva was pleased to see him. “Denzel? Babe, you came for me? Please, tell them I didn’t do it. I don’t want to s
“You’ve got some effrontery, Eva. What are you doing here?”The glare in his eyes told her that he had not forgiven her yet. But Eva was in desperate need of shelter. “I’m sorry I had to hit you. I told you I did want to return to that place.”“You didn’t hit me, Eva. You tried to kill me. I was cumming when I passed out.”She smiled naughtily. “I can make up for it.”Daniel did not move from the door. “I found another woman who worships me the way I do.”Eva frowned. “I never wanted to be your woman, Daniel. If you’ve gotten a woman, I’m happy for you. I’m here because I’ve missed a friend and I’m in need of a shelter.”“You know where your home is, Eva.”“You know I can’t go home and you know why.”“And where you’ve been staying for weeks?”“It was at a motel downtown but the cops came over today. Please, let me in, Daniel.”“I have to talk to Sylvia about it.”“Fine.”He unblocked the entrance and she shoved in. She fell on the cushion and dropped her small bag. “Is there food in
Eva undressed and wrapped the bloodstained pen knife in a nylon. Then she kept it among her clothes. She moved to the bed with a wine bottle, prepared to celebrate her victory. When she had gone halfway through the bottle, she contemplated calling Denzel. Later, she slept off.Eva didn’t wake up until the next morning. She drove around town and stopped by at McDonald’s. At the eatery, she noticed sly gazes. She bought Chicken McNuggets and soda. When she stopped by at the gas station, the attendant asked her some personal questions before she drove off.Eva thought about Daniel for the first time in two weeks and hoped he had survived the hit. Daniel hadn’t called her.A few minutes before mid-day, she drove back to the motel she was renting at cheaply rate. After a morning of outings, Eva planned to remain indoors all day. Maybe she would watch an erotic movie and masturbate…It must have been the heavy food she ate that drowsed her back to sleep. Her slumber was disturbed as soon
