While Mr. Whites and Carlos discussed business in the living room, Laura and Sasha did a bit of catching up as they laughed and giggled talking about their children and how they couldn’t wait for them to be finally be together.I sat with the ladies, listening to every of their conversation, I couldn’t relate as it had nothing to do with me or anything that could probably surround the lifestyle I was living now.Sasha made a few side comments when talking Laura, throwing shades at me because they were married, she said something like, “Us married women…” like who does that! I was once married too, you idiots! That fool, stays there laughing like she isn’t a husband snatcher her self. I didn’t mind them as I was more concerned about eavesdropping on the conversation Selma and Abigail were having in his room. I needed to hear every detail but I didn’t want to make it look suspicious either so I sat there and listened to married women talk.“Vanessa, you were engaged to be married befo
Carlos waited for me at his car as he was taking me with him to work. “How was your night?” He asked while the driver drove us.“It was fine” I replied with a smile, “Though I think I am reacting to something, a bit of a rash, I will have it sorted with the doctor, I already scheduled an appointment”“Oh, that’s good. I was starting to get worried, do let me know what the problem is” Carlos said offering the best care possible, he does show concern a lot.“I will”Our talk moved from personal to business real quick as Carlos ran me quick on the schedules for today and how I should manage it, he also had a meeting today of which he will be going all by himself and would barely be at the office, which for me was a good thing.I will finally get to search every nook and cranny for more info on Carlos, something tells me he is hiding something about those prenuptial agreement I saw, then that man and lady he called Sabrina.I need more dirt on him and what better time than to find it.My h
Work, work, work and work but nothing could stop me from taking my eyes away from Carlos’ office, I was strongly biding my time, waiting for the appropriate time to strike. Many hours passed, each hour, I was more and more anxious as I could hardly hold my breathe.I already checked out o the security team handling the CCTV and I know when they leave to have some drinks leaving one of their member behind, that is when I shall go in. I can easily go in and do whatever I wanted but it will be suspicious if I stayed longer than usual and especially checking out Carlos’ desk.I need to be very mindful so no errors will be made at all.At the stroke of eleven, I was a hundred percent sure half of the workers had gone home, I went ahead to briefly check on the security team and as I thought they had all abandon their duties, this time no one was on seat!I didn’t need to be told twice that this was God-given opportunity.I hurried to Carlos’ office and went for the drawer that I had seen th
Salome Pov“Laura, are you sure he will like this? Carlos doesn’t really like surprises” I said to my best friend, she was helping me get into a tight night gown so I could finally woo my husband to bed.Carlos and I have been married for a year now, not for once has he bothered touching me. I have tried so many times to make myself look attractive to him, even went to the gym to get myself fit, after a couple of days I gave up.I am actually fat, but in the modern world we call it plus-sized. However, Carlos looked past all that and we both fell in love, we’ve kissed a couple of times since we started dating three years ago, but never for once has he made a move on me.I am starting to get worried that one day someone might steal him away from me, so I have decided not to let that happen and I have finally embraced Laura idea of seducing him to bed but now I am starting to re-think the idea especially since we’ve been trying to get me into this sexy night wear, Laura bought for me.“
Salome Pov Tonight events kept replaying in my head as I drove to my best friend’s which wasn’t really far from my side, I didn’t want to call to let her know I was coming because I know she will freak out on the phone. I message Carlos a couple of times, still trying to apologies, I really hate it when we both fight, which rarely happens, I feel tonight was just a mere misunderstanding. I am more than willing to look over what he said and just let us move on, I always grateful to him and I do want him to know that I love and appreciate him, so I sent so may love emoji to him, maybe he will see it as cute and forgive me. When I got to Laura’s house, I recognized a car that looked exactly like the one I bought for Carlos. I know Carlos and Laura weren’t close, they were like cat and dog anytime they were in the same room together. I quickly took off my seat belts and went to examine the car, it was exactly the same one I bought for Carlos. Something was off here and I am not liking
Salome Pov Hours after I had returned home, Carlos came home as well. I could tell by how the bed deep, I acted like I was totally asleep when in actual fact I was still wide awake, thinking about all the atrocities that has been committed behind my back. I felt him embrace and kiss my neck, he cuddled closer as I tried to remain still. I was really disgusted by this and wanted to cry. Those times he came home late and does this, I always felt affection for him and would return the hug, it was what sustained our relationship. I can’t believe that the man I loved all this years, whom I thought had my back was just a facade. I wiggled my body so he would feel uncomfortable, but he did not as he whispered into my ear, “I love you, Salome, and I am sorry for tonight” he said, cuddling even closer. “Are you asleep?” When he asked, I gave no respond as I prayed that will deter him. I was glad he took the gist and went back to his side of the bed. The next morning, I saw a different si
Salome PovAs I drove to the lawyer’s firm, I can’t stop thinking about last night and how everything in my life might not be true after all. If it wasn’t for the dinner party I was planning to welcome my family and a few guests, I think I would have lost it by now, it is really hard having to keep my cool when I am around Carlos.Deep down I wanted to scream and yell at his face, tell him that I know it all but I start to think about the effect it might cause.My company, respect and dignity, they are all the things I hold on to, I don’t think I can fail my father just because of a failed marriage, if any of my family members know about this they will all have one thing to say, “I told you so” and it hurts to know that were all right---- that Carlos is a gold digger.A sharp pain pierce through my heart as I wince in pain, then the tears came and it just won’t stop, where did I go wrong in my life? I don’t berate people and love earnestly so tell me if I am deserving to this kind of
Salome Pov “Please help me…. Laura please….” My eyes closed as I completely blacked out. 9:45 PM Thirty five minutes before the explosion. The dinner party I have been planning for a few days, finally came to place, silent orchestra music played at the background to soothe the mood. Several of the guests trooped in, even more than I had bargained for. It was nice to see most of my father’s friends and that they could make out time to celebrate tonight with me. There was no actual reason for tonight party, most of the parties I held and attended never really had a purpose other than to show off our flashy outfit and make new business partners, I know for a fact that my husband will stand out in that aspect. I walked alongside Carlos as we went around, greeting all of our guests. We both smiled at each other when we get praised about how our love was blooming on our faces. As we walk past Laura, I notice Carlos eye her, she turned away immediately, she is still angry that Carlos s
