CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY ONEALEXANDER After the second round of sex that night, I carried Sally to the bed. She was breathing heavily and, at the same time, faintly as a result of exhaustion. I lay her in bed and tucked her in until she fell asleep. I made sure that Sally was deeply asleep before standing up from the bed. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was almost midnight, and I hadn't had dinner yet. I wondered if Sally had, and immediately after I did the wondering. The answer came flashing to my face. I saw a plate of food open on the table. It was almost dried up, and half of it had been eaten already. I saw the label on the plate and immediately knew that she ordered food. I stared back at Sally, who was sleeping peacefully and felt bad for a bit. I knew she was going through a lot already, and I just couldn't help it. I decided to go grab something from the kitchen when my phone beeped. I picked it up and saw that the message was from Clinton. I opened
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY TWOJAMES I walked out of the bathroom and noticed that my screen was on. I walked up to the phone and unlocked it. There were three missed calls from my mom and a message from her, too. I wondered what the emergency was when she kept calling and texting when I didn't pick up.I hoped that she was fine.I tapped on the message icon and hissed loudly when I saw the text from her. "A dinner invitation?" I asked and scoffed. "When do we have frequent dinners like this for no reason?"I placed the phone back on the table and walked back to my wardrobe to dress up for work. I wondered why my mom was so interested in Alex. She already had a son who was doing very well for her and him. Making her proud. Why would she not let Alex be?I wouldn't want to be anywhere close to Alex, so the dinner would wait until I confirmed if Alex would be there or not. Only then would I be able to decide if I wanted to eat dinner with my family or all alone at home. After dre
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY THREE JAMES It was finally Saturday morning. While I dressed up for dinner with my parents as the family house. I began to contemplate on what Beverly told me.I had disagree immediately and sent Beverly away. The idea seemed to be petty to me. Why would I want to get to Sally through Jessica, her younger sister? If it was Alex, I would have gladly agreed, but Beverly wouldn't want to hurt Alex. So there was no point being petty by trying to Sally by hurting her younger sister.I picked up my car keys and walked out of my room. I didn't want to be at the dinner. Especially since it has been confirmed that Alex would be there. I drove myself to my family house, allowing my driver to race for today. Getting to the house My parents were already waiting for me, and dinner was already fully prepared."Welcome, my son. I am so glad you finally decided to come." I rolled my eyes as I hooked my mum. If only she knew that I didn't come because I wanted to, I
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
