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
“.….. After several months of digging through what’s left of the Diaz mansion, the search for the President of DSK inc has finally been called off, the reason for this, according to the police, is for the family to be given a chance to mourn her. Months back, the Diaz mansion went up in flames when a dinner party was held, while many believed to have survived, Mrs. Salome Diaz was unable to escape. A service of songs is scheduled to be held in her honour tonight, while we mourn her, we sincerely commiserate with the family who has been affected by this……” I opened my eyes, my sight blurry, my throat parched from lack of water and my head pounded repeatedly, “Water….” I manage to say, weakly. I still couldn’t see nor tell where I was. I found my feet as I tried to get myself out of the bed, immediately taking off the medical things attached on my body. I suffered from sea legs as I struggled to walk towards the door, falling to the ground a couple of time but still able to pick myself
The awkward stare continued between us as I thought by now he would just let go, he was pretty much getting on my nerves at this point, “Hands off” I threw his hands to the air as I opened the car seat door and sat down.He looked utterly confused as he leaned closer to the car and spoke to the driver. I was panicking at this point because I didn’t know what he had planned, for all I know he could be psychopath.“Aren’t you my Uber driver?” He asked, pulling out his phone from his pocket and calling the driver’s line, the phone rang confirming that I was in the wrong Uber and there I was fighting for it.I was totally ashamed of myself as I stepped out slowly out of the Car, “What’s going on here? Didn’t you two order an Uberpool?”“Uberpool?” I immediately checked my ride and saw that it was entirely true, Angry bird did the same, how could this be a coincidence?“You two are going to Scenes Hotel, right?” The driver asked the both of us again and we both said ‘yes’ in unison, we exc

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
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
Laura has been up and doing since morning, doing her best to prepare for this guests that were on their way, she had co-ordinated her maids to help with cleaning and inspected the chefs who were handling today’s meal, it was sad to see what Laura had become.If she compare herself from the time I knew her till now, she has completely changed, one wouldn’t even believe that this party girl has suddenly become a housewife whose job is to sit around, organise dinners, caution her 23 yrs old and wait for her husband to return.She was now a shadow of her former self.Though I offered to help as I had nothing exactly doing, she was kind enough to refuse, saying that I still need much rest and she could handle everything necessary, of course I didn’t object, just sat around watching her over-exert herself while I think of my next move.I already contacted Danger to look into the man who had ransacked my apartment, in secret. I know Carlos had reported this, I just wanted to deal with it per
It hasn’t even been a day since I came here, and am already noticing how angsty Laura gets over her son’s illicit behaviors when it came to the workers. Though I haven’t think much towards it, I have decided to add Abigail into my plans, he seems like someone who would reveal everything to me after gaining his trust through sex.So, tonight I plan on luring him into my room and making a move on him. This will have a serious effect on my main plan a bit, that is, if Carlos comes to know but I do know of a way to handle it.After dinner tonight, Laura and I made small talk while Abigail was in the living room with us, Carlos on the other was yet to return home. Through the entire conversation I had with Laura, I made special eye contact with Abigail.He was witty enough to realize what I was leering him towards. Abigail didn’t seem to reject as he return focus to the book he was reading which was about little women, literally.For a moment there I thought that I might have won him over,
The tour ended immediately I set my eyes on a cabinet that held a photo frame of my former self, candles were lit and flowers surrounded it. This was placed in a much private area away from the living room.I looked at myself for a while as I was building up intense anger, it hurt me so much because I saw no use of this. What were they trying to prove? Huh?What is all this?! I hollered within me as tears started falling from my eyes, I felt I was been mocked by them because they lack no right to lit a candle for me.I fell to my knees breaking down in tears, Laura had laid comforting hand on my shoulder thinking that I was crying over my dead friend, I shrugged it off, immediately wiping my tears with my hand.I was determined to leave until when Laura said, “She was my best friend and I loved her so much”“Which was why you married her husband?” I blurted rudely, having no control of myself as I added, “I mean, it wasn’t up to a year before you married Carlos, was it?”I know my que
Dawn came in sooner than I thought. I spent my night rolling around the bed not been able to sleep as my mind were clouded with thoughts about Vanessa’s killer coming to hunt me.The possibility that my like might have been cut short from me last night and then the revenge I came all the way here for won’t happen again. I had just realize that I was no longer dealing with issues of myself but something bigger than that, there was the prenuptial agreement that I am still to figure, then this unknown woman called Sabrina and now this too.I know that I was strong and could handle it, I just needed to find someone who would help put the puzzle pieces for me together, someone who knows both Laura and Carlos’ relationship perfectly and then I will use it against them…… a minion was who I was searching for.As I could no longer sleep, I decided to take a self-tour around the mansion to see if I could find something useful for myself as I stepped out of my room I noticed how awfully quiet it
I didn’t know when we arrived at his mansion as I had fallen asleep in the car, Carlos was right about me needing some rest. As promised, he woke me up and waited till I was wide awake before helping me out of the car. He was acting like I was a sick patient or something, at least it was working in my favor so I shouldn’t complain.When we both got the doorstep, Laura had been waiting for us even as the time was way past midnight, I figured Carlos must have called and told her everything while I was asleep.I tried to look pitiful and tiresome as Laura pulls me into a hug, I still do not like her close to me not to think of her touching me but I couldn’t resist and just played along. Just like Carlos had asked if I was alright several times, Laura had done the same.I don’t understand what their problem but I am sure I made it clear that I was fine, maybe they just love to get into people’s good books all the time.Laura asks if I had anything to eat and that she could ask their live-
When the short hand of the clock touches eleven and the long hand was at the stroke of twelve, I packed my bag and got ready for the time Carlos will leave. I wasn’t doing anything peculiar before and even now.Carlos wasted no time coming out as he looked shocked to see that I was still at the office, I explained to him that I was just about to leave but forgot something…… him.Things weren’t going according to plan as I had wanted but it is fine which is why you should always have a back up. Whilst he went to pick up his car from the parking area, I waited at the front of the company trying to holler for a cab to pick me up, of which I was trying so hard.I stood out in the cold still waiting for his car to pass by and then he would offer me a ride and I would inexcusably accept, which he knows I have turned down several times that he offered.Today was different, it was too risky for me to go home by myself and my phone was broken beyond repairs for me to order for an Uber, apparen
