THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND Reap what not sowed
Aunt Elsie was aware that convincing the company's employees to trust her would be a difficult task. They had all worked for the Feller's family for a long time, and were likely to be wary of change. However, she was determined to do her best to keep the company running smoothly —no, to keep onto the company for her personal interest.She decided to begin by explaining that Dwayne's was no longer with them, she knows this was a difficult truth for each member of the company to accept, but it was something they will have to face.Aunt Elsie breathed in slowly before speaking. “Mr. Dwayne can't be here with us in person —any longer.” She enunciated, each member of the board meeting was wearing a questioning look. “...this is because he is dead!”The room was plunged into an eerie silence, as the executives processed Aunt Elsie's words —which were too hard to digest, it was just like a big lump in their throat that's too hard to swallow.“What?” One of them finally gasped, his voice bare

Gerald was on his way to the hospital as usual when he received a call from Milan. He was surprised to see her call; that was the last thing he expected from her —a call out of the blues when they don't even talk, not even for once.“Gerald…" She called out slowly, unsure of her voice. Gerald could feel her anxiety in her voice. “This is Gerald, right?”“Yes!” His reply was blunt and quick. “Why are you calling Milan? Did something go wrong in my absence?”Milan on the other line hesitated for a while as she breathed out sharp, contemplating on what to say or how to say it.“It's okay, Milan.” Gerald was considerate enough to cajole her, her rapid breathing was obvious on the phone. “You can talk to me, whatever it is, I'm all ears and I'll listen. Okay?”“Okay…" She mouthed almost immediately. “Where are you? Can you come to the company as quickly as you can? This is really important!”“I'm on my way to the hospital, but I can make a detour to the company if it's that important.” Ger

Gerald was furious as he barged out of the private office, banging the door heavily behind as it made a reverberating noise afterward —well, he cared less if the company should fall into a flat crumble at the moment because of it.He weaved his way through the same hallway he has gotten familiar with over the years, his face crumpled down in a tight frown and anger boiling with in him; he couldn't just sit and watch or act like nothing happened with what he heard!As he stormed through the hallway, the sound of his footsteps echoing off the walls, Gerald was overwhelmed with emotion. Anger, frustration, and disbelief coursed through his veins as he thought about the conversation he'd just had.How could this be happening? How could someone so close to Ciara betray her like this? He couldn't let it go, he had to do something. But what?As he reached the end of the hallway, he turned the corner and came to a stop, his mind racing. He looked up at the sight before, the glass doors reflec

Gerald excused himself from Mr. Ezekiel's sight and walked closer towards the door. He tapped on it gently and waited for Aunt Elsie's response.“Come in…" Gerald heard from within after several seconds of silence.He breathed in slowly before placing his hand on the door knob, gently opening the door, and stepped in. He hesitated for a while before closing the door behind him, as he strutted towards aunt Elsie.“Ah, Gerald —it's you…" Aunt Elsie uttered in recognition as well as surprised to see him in her new office, but she did well by offering him a warm smile.“Yes!” Gerald replied to her in a sharp yet blunt tone, taking the seat before the desk —he did not bother to be offered the seat before sitting, he suddenly finds it useless. “I decided to drop by.”Aunt Elsie was offended by Gerald's action; she found it nonchalant and challenging, but she held her anger in, trying not to react rashly towards him.“I see you've made yourself at home without the owner's permission.” Aunt

Gerald walked out of the office, different thoughts running through his mind. He did not see any of this coming —Ciara's aunt seemed to be, not only one but two steps ahead of them.He couldn't help but marvel at how fast Ciara aunt's brain worked faster; how she managed to turn everything into her favor in a twinkle of an eye.“Had she to be planning all of this beforehand? Or she just decided to make use of the opportunity, why it lasts?” He muttered under his breath, rubbing his temples slowly.On the flip side, Gerald did not want to agree with his theory —even though that's the only possibly way he could think of.“There is no way all of this would have been planned, right?” He asked himself, but couldn't find the answers to his question. Yeah, if Dwayne's death was planned —how about Ciara's predicament?He runs his hand through his head as he felt like he's going nut soon, he couldn't think it through, no matter how hard he tries. Gerald knew that he needed to do something, and

The doors of the airplane slowly opened, and a tall, dark-haired man emerged from the cabin. His appearance wasn't so enticing and had reduced much weight compared to how he was a few months earlier. His eyes squinted as he stepped into the bright sunlight, and he took a moment to adjust to the change of light.As he stood there, he stretched his arms over his head and let out a long, deep breath. It had been a long flight, and he was ready to get out of the plane and back on solid ground to relieve his tired limbs after several hours of being in the same spot.He reached down and grabbed his suitcase, slinging it over his shoulder with ease. He was a well-traveled man, used to long flights and layovers, but that moment was different, he looked exhausted and tired —both mentally and physically.His face was gaunt, his eyes sunken in. The dark circles under his eyes were a testament to the sleepless nights he had been experiencing for the past few weeks since he left the States.He had

Ryan couldn't figure out where he had seen the woman before. She didn't seem like one of his usual clients, and the restaurant they were in wasn't the kind of place he would expect her to visit. But as she got closer, a memory clicked, and he remembered her name —Sheila.Ryan was surprised to see around as he wondered why she was here. “To eat, of course!” His subconscious mind hit him.“Yeah, right!” He admitted. Ryan had wanted to dodge to avoid being seen by Sheila, considering his present appearance and environment. But luck ran out on him as he was seen by Sheila before he got the chance to dodge her.“Ah —Mr. Ryan…" She vocalized in recognition, hastening her steps towards him. “It's you!”Ryan couldn't believe it. He had hoped to escape this embarrassing situation, but his plans were foiled. How would he explain his presence in such a place, especially to Sheila, of all people? And with the state he was in — messy hair, unkempt clothes, an unshaven face… Oh, no! He was a mess!

The uncomfortable silence that was starting to build up was suddenly interrupted as her phone rung. She didn't hesitate as she brought out from her chest pocket to answer the call and realized it was from Milan.“Is something wrong…?” Sheila couldn't help but get worried as she made to pick the call, she gave Ryan a quick apologetic stare. “Please, excuse me for a moment.”Ryan nodded curtly, and Sheila flashed him a quick smile before answering the call. “Hello, Milan.”“Ms. Sheila…!” Milan exclaimed, her voice filled with trepidation as well as excitement. “It's good to hear your voice after all this while, Ms. Sheila.”Sheila smiled in appreciation, flattered by Milan's words of compliment. “I know, right?” She cited simply, still smiling. “Why did you call? I notice you did not sound too good, how is Ms. Fellers?”“Ms. Fellers is… far from well, she's not doing too great.” Milan replied, her tone subdued. “—and that's actually why I'm calling, Ms. Under a week, things have managed

"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 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

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

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
