CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FOURALEXANDER I was waiting patiently for Sally to return with James. It was taking too long. I turned my wrists around and checked for the time. That was the seventeenth time I was doing if I was not exaggerating. I wondered what was keeping James and Sally for that long.My mum and her husband seemed to be carried away. They didn't seem to notice what was going on. I decided to count to ten. If they didn't come back after I was done with my counting, then I would go look for Sally myself.Even after counting to fifteen, James and Sally were still not back, I didn't trust James with my wife. So I stood up and excused myself from the dining table. I knew the route they took, so I decided to go and find Sally myself. I found it difficult to locate the exact spot they entered. Sally's perfume filled my nose. I decided to trace where the scent was coming from. I finally found the restroom and proceeded towards the room. I was shocked when I walked into
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVEBEVERLY I was seated in my room as different thoughts ran through my mind. I could hear my baby crying in his bed, but I pretended that I couldn't hear it. I didn't want the baby to pause my plans. My mom walked out of her room and into mine. She stared at me for a while and shook her head before walking towards the baby. She picked up the baby and walked away. I rolled my eyes after she left. This had been the routine since I came back from the hospital.My mom had been the one taking care of the baby. I didn't care about the baby. I barely even fed him. I could still hear him crying from my mom's room, but I didn't care. I was thinking of how to get Sally out of Alex's life so that I could have him all to myself since James had refused to work with me. I knew I couldn't do it alone. I needed someone to work with me on this.There was another option left, which was killing Sally. The best option was to get rid of her. At least then I would have Al
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY SIXSALLYI walked into the sitting room. I was feeling very tired after working for a very long day. I wanted to just slide down in my bed and sleep. It was a very stressful day with too many emergency meetings.I could hear one of the maids conversing with someone in the kitchen. I didn't know who it was, and I didn't care either. All I wanted to do was to lay in my bed and sleep. As I walked past the kitchen, her conversation caught my ear. "Killing her wouldn't be an option. Please, think of something else or contact someone else to do it. I am sure other maids would gladly do it."My heart sank when I heard this."Who does my meat want to kill?" I questioned myself. I completely forgot that I wanted to sleep. I changed my mind immediately and went straight to the kitchen. I needed to know what was going on. I stood by the door and placed my ear close enough to hear whatever she had to say. But it seemed like She smelt my perfume already because sh
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY SEVENBEVERLY I decided to visit James so that we could talk about our plans without any interruptions. I called him and then informed him that I was coming before I left the house.James was home he told me he didn't have anywhere to go so I could come. I got dressed, took a cab, and went straight to James's house."You're here," he noted immediately when he opened the door and saw me. "You thought that I would not come?" I asked him as I walked into the house."The way you responded to my call. I thought you were no longer interested in working with me.""Come off it," I scolded him. I walked ahead into the house and sat down on the couch without waiting for him to ask me to sit. "You're too full of yourself, for someone who was once a maid," James mocked. I was shocked. That was the last thing I expected James to say, especially since I had never spoken to him about my personal life. I knew Sally didn't tell him that, either.Maybe she did. That
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY EIGHTJESSICA I kept checking my wrist. We were finally done with our exams, and it was time to go home. My teacher wouldn't even let us go home, even though we were already done with our papers for the day.The students were grumbling and whispering curse words against the teacher. No one was interested in what he had to say. I could see some of my classmates sleeping already. I was impressed because I was not the only person who was angry about the fact that he would not let us go home even after our final exams.I hissed and stretched out on my seat. I placed my hands over my mouth and yawned loudly. He was finally done talking. He walked away with the exam papers. We were all excited that he finally left. Some picked up their bags and began walking out of the classroom.Others stayed behind, talking in low tones, laughing, and also catching up. I picked up my purse and was about to walk out of the classroom when Micheal blocked me. I rolled my ey
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY NINESALLYI walked out of the meeting room and went straight to my office. immediately when I sat down, my phone began to ring. I stared at the screen and saw that it was Jessica who was calling me. I smiled because I had missed her. I wondered what she had to say this time.Nevertheless, I picked up the call. "Hello, Jessi," I called out, but there was no response.I continued calling out Jessica, but there was no response from her end. I kept calling Jessica's name, but still, there was no reply until it hung up. I tried calling her again, but there was no response. I dialled her number thrice. When she didn't pick the third time, I decided to let her be..I left my phone in my office and decided to go supervise the packaging of the scandal goods that had been reproduced. I strolled around the room and made sure that everyone present there had something doing.I also supervised the faces of those who were in the team just to ensure that there were n
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BEVERLYI was excited when my driver walked into the small house with Jessica. I didn't believe my eyes at first. How would I have known that it would be so easy to get Jessica."Hard nut to crack," I teased her as I touched her chin.She whimpered fearfully."Was this the reason you came to my school the other day pretending to be nice?" She asked me.I was just smiling at her as I touched her chin. She slapped my hands off."Hold her!" I ordered the driver who had brought her in. He held her hands tightly, and she struggled with him. "Let go of me!" She commanded with so much authority.I grabbed her chin and squeezed her face.She whimpered as she struggled to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn't let her go. "Who do you think you are to think that you can behave whichever way that pleases you?"She spat on my face immediately after I freed her from my grip. My eyes and mouth opened widely."I knew that a prostitute like you should not be trust
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONEALEXANDER I found it difficult to sleep. I had walled in on Sally when she was demanding money from her mom. I knew that she cried the moment I walked in and saw her eyes. Even though Sally kept insisting that she was fine until she slept off, I knew that she was not fine. She was only saying so to get me off her back. I tried to go through her phone, but it seemed like she had deleted her recent calls. The only call I saw was that of her mom and other unimportant calls. I walked back to the bag lying on the floor of our room. I opened the bag and stared into it for a while. I hoped that all was well. I returned to the bed and kept rolling there. I didn't even notice when I slept off.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me tenderly. I opened my eyes slowly, and I rubbed them with both hands. When I opened my eyes widely, I saw Sally seated in front of me. She was smiling, but I could tell that the smile was a fake smile."Morning, love," she
