Christine heaved a sigh as she walked into the large living room. Her steps faltered as she stood in the middle of the room taking in everything around her like it was her first time there.

A small smile sat on her face as her mind wondered how she thought Ruth lived her whole life in a house that could pass for a palace but it wasn't a big thing to have anymore.

The first and last day she came into this house, she had commented on how high the ceiling was and how the chandelier seemed like a constellation.

That same day, Rhoda called her a gold-seeking thief because of her relationship with Ruth.

—That day was a mess and Christine could remember walking out of the house in tears.

She knew it wasn't her fault she was an orphan. It wasn't her fault she was poor. It wasn't her fault Ruth wanted to be friends with her and wasn't trying to mop off Ruth but she couldn't convince Rhoda otherwise.

She avoided Ruth for a week straight until the latter came to apologize saying her mum had

    Alex sat in the middle of the rowdy club wishing he hadn't gone there in the first place. His small circle of friends, upon seeing the tabloids on his engagement posted on media outlets, called him out to celebrate his upcoming wedding. To do that, they invited him to the club he had first met his bride-to-be and held a small get-together for him. In less than an hour after getting there, talking and binge-drinking, the guys dispersed, going into the crowd of dancing bodies for their catches for the night, leaving him alone on the club's vip couch, bored and tipsy, and maybe just a little drunk. All in all, he regretted the night. His mind haphazardly wandered from the first day he had met Ruth, to the first day he met Christine, to his first date with Ruth and incidental dates with Christine, to him acknowledging his weird feelings for Christine and how her reaction was and then to the point of it all, his coming marriage with a girl he loved —but did he? His fuzzy gaze wandered

    The sweet ringing of the bells as the vehicle approached the church made Christine smile —her first genuine smile that morning."Oh my God! Chris it is really happening! I am getting married!" Ruth shrieked happily.Christine turned away from the window and smiled at her friend. It was indeed happening."What?" Ruth suddenly quit smiling and her large eyes stared blankly at Christine. "Is something on my face? Did that makeup artist ruin something?" She asked in panic.Christine smiled even deeper. She took her friend's hands and squeezed with assurance."You are perfect Ruth. There has never been a bride as perfect as you," she whispered and Ruth melted by her words."Aww, you are such a dove. You always cheer me up," Ruth said squeezing Christine's hands too.This was a moment, Christine had been desperately waiting for after the episode at the bar. She needed to get away but she had to stay and witness this day.Now that it was finally here, she couldn't help but feel happier despi

    "Alex, have you seen Christine anywhere around?" Ruth asked for the umpteenth time that night.Alex only shook his head as he stared out in the distance.There were at the topmost floor of the biggest hotel in the city, enjoying the view after a long day filled with congratulations and smiles."Oh, that girl!" Ruth hissed by his side.Alex turned to look at his wife. His brows rose as he admired her beauty but at the same time, he wondered why she was getting so worked up over Christine's absence.He had been sad too but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was the best thing for Christine to leave. He couldn't give her the love she truly deserved. It was best she went somewhere she could get another chance at love."Hey, come here," he whispered.Ruth paused at the door and slowly, she moved towards him.Alex pulled his wife closer and stared into her eyes."Why are you so concerned by Christine's absence?" He whispered, his lips hovering above Ruth.Ruth let her

His hands on her waist tightened as he allowed the warm feeling of her body take over him.He pulled her neck to him and he kissed her, passionately. Ruth was truly

    It had been a month since Christine came to settle into her new life. It was hard but she gave herself into work so much that the pain had become numb.Ofcourse Ruth kept calling, constantly asking for favours. The ones she could do, she did for her but mostly, Christine, just wanted Ruth to start handling issues on her own."Miss, Christine?"Christine snapped out of her thoughts and raised her eyes from her laptop. She had zoned out again."Yes, Hilda," she replied in that smooth voice of hers.Hilda stepped into the room her olive skin glowing under the white light above them.She stopped in front of Christine's table and presented an envelope to her. "This came in from the headquarters. It seems the executives are extremely proud of you," she said wiggling her brows.Christine smiled at her secretary's enthusiasm but she was sure Mr. Davies, Ruth's father just sent her another impossible task to try and complete.She took the envelope from her and dropped it on the table in front

    "Did he hurt you?! Did he lay his hands on you? What did he do to you?" Christine's words came out so fast it was as if she was trying to win a marathon.She was so agitated and concerned as she held her friend in her hands checking her over to see if there was any sign of trauma on her body.Ruth's face which was shocked at Christine's reaction calmed into a smile as she looked into her best friend's eyes."No one cares about me the way you do Chris," Ruth said in a calm voice with a genuine smile on her face as she gazed into Christine's troubled eyes.Christine did not care about Ruth's comment. All she needed we're answers and she frantically asked for one."Did he threaten you not to tell anyone! I swear to God if that man hurts you he's going to have me to face with. I'm going to fuck him up so much he is going to hate his life...

She had a hand in Ruth's marriage to Alex so she was part responsible for whatsoever pain her friend was going through.For Alex's sake, she hoped whatever Ruth was going to tell her was not true. For his sake, she hoped he had never hurt her friend because she was going to bring down fire and brimstone on him."It's okay baby," Christine cooed to a sad Ruth as she carressed her hair with her hands.

    ~Alex could not stop smiling.Even during the meeting he had which showed that he had lost a sizeable amount of his stocks in a company in Europe, a news that should have made him sad, he continued to smile. He could not help himself.Seeing Christine after all this time was the best thing to happen to him today. Well, after getting married to his wife that is.When Ruth had asked him to let her go and get Christine back to New York, he had agreed without a second thought.He had guided his agreement under the veil that Ruth needed her best friend since she had always been a part of Ruth's life but actually, he had not agreed because of that. In fact, the thought of Ruth needing Christine especially to settle down in her newly made marital home was absurd and something he would never have tolerated but he needed to see her.He had offered Ruth his private jet to go and get Christine because he could not wait for the delay a commercial airplane would pose.And when Ruth had asked tha

    ~"I told you I was going to succeed..." Ruth said with a look of triumph on her face and Christine wished she could slap the look off of her face."Hello, Christine. Nice to see you again," Alex finally said to Christine.He spoke in a voice so deep and smooth that something stirred within Christine.Christine smiled at his words not because he had spoken to her but because she knew without a doubt from his voice that he meant it when he said it was nice seeing her again."Thank you. Same here," She managed to say in response.Her eyes flicked to her friend to see if she must have noticed the awkwardness between her and Alex but Ruth looked entirely oblivious to everything."Can you imagine Chris wanted to stay at a hotel instead of with us?" Ruth said to Alex.Christine closed her eyes in annoyance and closed her hands into fists while tucking her lips into her mouth with a wish that she could land her fist into Ruth's face.She did not know why Ruth was such a blabber mouth.

    "Get up Ruth! We will miss our flight!" Christine called out to Ruth from the door of the room"Stop stressing! We are using Alex's private jet," Ruth groaned from the bed before using the pillow to cover her head from the glare of the light that Christine had turned on"Even private jets have schedules, Ruth!" Christine said before matching over to the bed to get Ruth out of it.She was not ecstatic to be leaving but she had accepted her fate and she was pissed that the designer of this whole plan had not even gotten up from bed.Christine placed a palm on Ruth's forehead."Still have a fever?" She asked Ruth."My head bangs like a marching band," Ruth mumbled in pain."Serves you right. Next time you won't go and get wasted again," Christine scolded her.After throwing up early this morning, Ruth had to take an aspirin to deal with her body pains before sleeping.Christine had been worried. She feared that those men she had gone out with had put something in her drink or harmed her.

    "A friend?" Christine asked."Yes, a friend," Ruth answered.From the way Ruth's eyes danced with mischief, Christine knew that this was more than just a friend and that there was more to the story."Spill," Christine said in a commanding tone as she looked at Ruth through squinted eyes.Ruth rolled her eyes and said, "He's just a guy I met on Tinder.""On Tinder?" Christine asked shocked as she lifted her body off the bed to have a better view of her friend."Yes, on Tinder," Ruth repeated with an attitude stressing the letter 'r'."What the fuck are you on Tinder for? What are you looking for on Tinder? Do you forget you are married?"The only answer she got from Ruth was just a shrug of her shoulders as she ignored Christine and focused her attention back on the beeping iPhone in her hands.Christine was not going to let this conversation die and so she got off the bed and walked over to where Ruth stood.Ruth was so engrossed in whatever it was she was doing on her phone that she

    Christine was livid with fear. She was still confused from being jerked up from sleep and was the more confused to hear Ruth's question.Her sleepy eyes were opened to twice their size as they tried to make out the silhouette of Ruth's figure which was looking above her.Her room was dark. She had not turned the light on when she had come in and collapsed onto her bed. At least that was what she remembered happening. But she was able to see Ruth's face thanks to the dim light that filtered into the room from the opened door.She however could not read Ruth's expression through the dimly lit room but she wished she could. It would have given her a better understanding of what she was about to face."Um..." She started to say trying to fill the silence between them."You were moaning my husband's name, Christine. Why was that?" Ruth asked.Her voice was not helping matters. Christine longed to read Ruth's emotion in her voice since her facial expression was out of the question but Ruth

    "Why would you do that?" Christine asked. She was flabbergasted by what she had just heard."Find a vibrator. Or handcuffs. Or a whip," Ruth added."How are any of those any better?" Christine asked wide-eyed."Is that not what you told me to do?" Ruth asked.Christine shook her head. She had given up on Ruth."Do whatever you feel is best my dear," Christine sighed. "I am super tired and I need some rest.""Unfortunately for you, there is no rest. You need to get your things, We have to be back in New York today so that you can report for your new position," Ruth said."About that, so you are serious," Christine said."Did I look like I was joking?" Ruth asked with an attitude as she got up from the chair and walked over to where she had dumped a couple of shopping bags on the table."But why would you do such a thing? I am happy over here," Christine said. She was already panicking knowing what her return to New York entailed. It meant meeting with the one man who seemed to have po
