THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND Father and son
“And who's my father?” He asked with so much anger laced in his voice.Aunt Elsie paused for a moment, reading his facial expressions. Is heaven answering her prayer's. This is her best chance to win against Ryan, at least Herzl won't recognize him as his biological father just yet, and it's a perfect opportunity for her to win against Ryan.“My love, is no other person than that leach of a man called Ryan, Ryan Lerman.” She asserted, observing his close expression of what it might become.Herzl paused for a moment, trying to remember the name, he knew he had once heard of it before at a time. There was a time he has heard his mother mention Ryan to his late uncle, and immediately they saw him coming, they quickly changed the topic, but his little mind wouldn't picture what was happening.“Ryan Lerman...” Herzl dragged the name. “I don't know him, I only know Ryan, mom's friend.” Herzl winched.“My boy, he's not your mom's friend, that's your father. He dumped your mother when she was

RYANI couldn’t take my eyes off him, while the driver pulled into the big road outside Elsie’s place, from where I had just reclaimed him.He looked just like me, when I was a teenager in high school, and he was glad to have been claimed by me.Elsie wasn’t that good to him, I was sure of that, because if she was good to him in any way, he wouldn’t be so glad to leave her for good and go with me, but the least thing I had in mind was going home without going to the hospital to see Ciara.Thoughts of her bought loads of guilt on me, having been the one who started the fight the day I dumped her for my ex, shattering her world in just a minute.I shook my head, and rested it on the headrest, my eyes still on him, who is a replica of me. How could I have denied him if Ciara brought him to me and claimed I got her pregnant?But she did the good job of fleeing from me and the world around us, then, she sought refuge in the arms of a hidden neighborhood where she could deal with the mess,

RYANWe left the room, and went down stairs through the stairs.There were elevator here, but I chose the stairs because we met Ciara in the first floor, so there was no need using the elevator when I knew I could get myself and Herzl downstairs through the staircase.“Done?”It was the same security guard who wanted to deny us access to the facility. His face still looked as mean as the congealed face of a corpse. I wonder why he suddenly tossed himself into the little mess of hating my kind of person at first sight. Well, his day gets screwed every minute, either by the patients up there, or the families of the patients, who maybe, doesn’t drop tips.“Yes.” I said, with a sizable nonchalance.Why would I care what he had to say, when I had had my way through the CSO?“Wait, sir.”I stopped and turned to him, though I didn’t really intend to.“Please don’t feel bad about my attitude recently. I was just doing my job, but thank God the chief security officer came by and settled the r

Two years later CIARA“Ms. Ciara.”I was getting my hair straightened in my room, when the nurse called my name. I spurned to see her standing behind me with her hands folded.It was nurse Mary, the one who became my friend after I was declared sane by the doctors in the facility, I had been caged in for more than two years. She did mention that Ryan and Herzl usual paid me visits all the while I was mentally derailed, but she doesn’t like using the words, mentally derailed, she prefers using the word, sick, to describe my condition then.But what’s the difference between someone who is sick, not in the body, but in the head, and a mentally derailed patient?There is no difference there, but she prefers being fair, maybe to avoid getting me provoked.“Mary.” I said with a smile.Others calls her nurse, but I call her Mary, because the first question I asked her the day I woke up and sensed I was being held in a rehab center was what was her name, before I demanded to know what I was

CIARA“Address.”The man doesn’t sound like an Uber, and he was putting on a mask. I didn’t see that coming, because the car had tinted glasses, and maybe her wore that mask immediately I hopped into the car and shot the door.I tugged out the door, but it had been automatically locked.I had been trapped in a strange car. A car I didn’t book for myself. Another masked man rose from the at the driver’s side.He must have been bending all the while they were waiting for me to join them in their car. I was being practically kidnapped for heaven’s sake.“Who are you?” I posed with tears welling up in my eyes. Going from a rehab facility to a kidnapper’s den wouldn’t be a pretty experience here. The driver turned on the engine and the car stereo to keep my shouting blurred with music, and the second man fished his gun out of his cloth and turned to me.“Do try to be nice, Ciara, we were ordered not to hurt you, with if you push us to the wall, we would have you dealt with. You are safe

ELSIEThe worst thing the rehab facility ever did wrong so far, was keeping me away from Ciara, only because I demanded she be returned to me when I saw she might get sane there and realize I was the enemy she ever had so far.They suspended me from coming by to see her, after I sued them and they did well in the courtroom, winning the hearts of the Jury and having them grant them the right to keep me forever away from the facility.But keeping me away for two years wasn’t enough to keep me far from Ciara. I had intel who do the good job of reporting to me on her improvement, and on those who do the pretty job of visiting her in the facility.Well, my intel didn’t talk of any other person, but Ryan who comes with the kid he took from me.It was my intel who informed me that Ciara was back to her senses, and she had been granted access to her phone, after passing the tests organized by the facility, to monitor her sanity and confirm she was back to her true self.I was informed that sh

CIARAMy house had changed so much with Aunt Elsie in control of it for quite a long time; two years to be precise, but nothing changed about my room.It still bore the curtains from two years ago, and I could perceive the strong smell of dust which rose into the air as I pushed open the door and dragged the curtains aside.My room had been this unkept, but she got pictures of herself all over the living room, and takes a luxury daytime rest at the pool.I shrugged and made to the window, with my left palm shielding my nose. I knew what would happen if I drag the curtains aside, so, I had to first take defense, before heading to the window.I held the curtains and dragged them aside, and thus came into view, a dust ridden window. It had been shot for two years, and it had not been cleaned for two good years.Gosh.I had no clue on why Aunt Elsie became somewhat careless. It was very much unlike her, who would do the cleaning and the cooking without seeking aid from the maids.I looked

ELSIEThe good thing about me is the fact that I’m never in rush to execute the evil I had hidden in my mind. If anyone should ask Ciara what the problem was, I’m very sure she would not be able to drop an answer, because she couldn’t even tell she was being kidnapped when my men picked her up at the hospital.Well, that’s because they brought her home to meet me at the poolside, and talk to me as though she was still in charge of both herself and her house.Of course, she is in charge of her house, and one other thing I need, but not her body, because she had been caged up here in her own house.I made her Sunday toast, and took it up her room where she was. The boys were such wicked creatures that did not bother to chain her up in bed.The chained her up on the floor. That wasn’t what I told them, but that’ the good thing they can ever do to a little girl who got my husband killed for doing away with her goddamned parents.She is in charge of one other thing though, and that’s why I

"There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 069
The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 068
When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 067
"I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 066
As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

"Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 064
Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 063
It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 062
Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
