"She blacked out!" Jane shouted as she struggled free from beneath her friend. Alex rushed over and placed Lisa gently in his arms. Without a word, he found his car keys and drove down to the hospital.

Jane left the hospital when Lisa regained consciousness, she promised to check back but when she called back, Alex told her they were still at the hospital and Lisa was asleep. She concluded that she would come around the next morning.

Alex drove back in the evening. He looked sad and worn out. Lisa was asleep in the car. He brought her out of the car gently and laid her in bed. He tucked her in and sat beside her briefly. She looked calm and as beautiful as ever. How would he have suspected that she was losing it with such a calm facade.

Lisa turned from her sleep, she grabbed Alex's shirt and muttered, "Alex... Alex... I love you. I..." Her voice trailed off and her grip on his shirt loosened. Alex sighed and watched on without a word.

He soon left her bedside and made his way into th

    Jane couldn't fall asleep. Her head was filled with thoughts about her friend's predicament. If Lisa was traumatized, the strong factors that could be responsible for such was the fact that she tolerated too much from Alex's infidelity and never realized she was strolling away from sanity. Another factor was the rape incident that happened few nights ago. The most painful of all was Alex tearing off the papers. Jane felt she should uncover the rape case without involving her friend. She couldn't believe Lisa almost mentioned it before she collapsed. Getting justice for her could give her some closure. "I would start from the bar. I will try to get the name of the bar from her tomorrow. Tomorrow it is. I can't just fold my hands." Jane told herself. She turned off the lights and tried to get some sleep.Just as she was about sleeping off her phone rang. It was Alex. "Hello, Jane, l am outside… in your house… can you please let me in?""What?" Jane responded and checked the time. "Alex!

    Jane led Alex into her living room. She served him a glass of water and went straight to the point. "How is Lisa doing?" "She was calm and well coordinated when she woke up. I made sure she was asleep before coming down here,"Alex replied. "Good she is in one piece... Alex, if you need my help, you have to tell me nothing but the truth," Jane began."I don't want a divorce. I need my wife's trust, it's crucial at this time." Jane sighed, "Alex, are you holding onto your wife because you have realized your wrong or because you need her?" Jane asked.Alex stammered and Jane continued, "Why do you think Lisa will trust you now?" "Well, I am coming out straight without holding back, I pray she sees my sincerity".Jane smirked. "I find it difficult to trust you, I wonder how Lisa will after all she's been through. I invited you in not because I trusted you. I wanted to hear you out because you seem desperate.. If you don't want a divorce I will advise that when she brings in the papers aga

    A hot slap met Alex's cheek as he brought his mouth close for a kiss. Alex drew back, he looked into Jane's eyes and said "stop the pretense, you asked for it, I know you wanted me." He forcefully took possession of Jane's mouth and slid his tongue in whilst his hands made way to fumble with her breasts.Jane resisted and struggled free. She pulled back with all the strength she could muster. She dealt a hard blow at his engorged dick and kicked him hard. He fell on the hard floor, held his dick and groaned in pain.Jane was mad and surprised as well. "Sorry to disappoint you; Mr Perfect, I am one woman standing and no! I never wanted you!" Jane put back her robe and continued. "All I was expecting was a hard slap on my face. You're a beast. You asshole! How could you ?! I am your wife's friend for heaven's sake! I am her friend!" She emphasized the word 'friend'."Fuck! Don't tell me if you had had your way, you would still have the guts to look into Lisa's eyes and tell her to stay!

"It's over now," she said to herself as she tried to understand the emotions that erupted from within her."If he doesn't want me to turn in the papers, why did he sign them?" She muttered.

    When Benny woke up, it was morning. Light rays had filtered through the blinds and the room was sparingly illuminated. "Not too bad, I thought I was sealed away in some abyss," he grunted as he felt the comfy comforter and scanned the room. His eyes caught the remains of the intravenous fluid that was infused into him. It was discarded already. "What the heck is this place?" He thought. A silhouette fell into his line of vision. It was the back view of a man. "Who are you!? What do you want from me?!" Benny put up a bold front."I put up with you because you seemed to be a good man, but you crossed the line when you threatened me." Cole responded."Mr Clinton Cole?" Benny asked in astonishment. Cole turned around slowly and Benny shook slightly."You caused this?" Benny asked and touched the bandage wound around his head."It was an accident," Cole said and looked away.Benny heaved a sigh. He realized he just got entangled with a dangerous man. He needed to get out of this mess.

She thought and sprang up from her sleep.She hugged herself as the feeling of deja vu took over her. "Oh no! This isn't happening! Not again!" She fidgeted and threw the covers open to check herself.She heaved a sigh of relief and rushed off the bed. That was when she scanned the room. She squinted as realization dawned on her. Pieces of the day's events flashed through her head hazily and she groaned."My bedroom? No way!" Lisa yelled in horror. "I can't face Alex now... I haven't caught the culprit... I have to get out of here," she whimpered and dived for the door.The door swung open just as she placed her hand on the lock. She pulled back and Alex emerged. He was holding a cup of freshly prepared oat. "It's my recipe for a hangover," he said casually.

She was going insane and she knew it.She was startled by her own profession earlier but she was more startled when Benny played along."You're a crazy bitch!" She screamed at herself and laughed hard as she sobbed. "Lisa is missing," she said hysterically and brought up her phone. She dialed Lisa's number but the line was not reachable. She stopped after the first trial and threw her phone on the sofa.She climbed up into her bed weakly and drew up the covers to her shoulders. "Jeff is going down tomorrow," she muttered incoherently and wrapped her arms around her pillow as she continued to weep.****"Cheers to a new bonding," Cole said to Benny and raised his glass for a toast."I don't drink," Benny said disgruntledly."A toast is the least...

Jane yelled and knelt impulsively on her bed."What the heck!" She muttered and rubbed her palms against each other as she took a look.Her temples burrowed as realization dawned on her. She leapt off the bed carelessly but staggered backwards and fell back on the bed.She lifted up her head in dismay as familiar footsteps approached her room. "Father!" She groaned and fell on her knees."Who is responsible for your pregnancy!?" Cole yelled coldly. Jane refused to respond rather she continued to groan."Unveil him!"
