Sonia
My head forgot how to beat for a few seconds after Freya told me Dennis was cheating.
“What? Where? When? How?” That and more questions fought in my head as I quickly drove down to her house. I didn’t even know what to think. I knew I had to see her and get to the root of it all. I needed to know everything she knew, so I could know the next step to take.
“I couldn’t see the lady’s face. Dennis’ back was blocking my view, all I knew was he was with someone.”
“What about pictures? Did you take any? You know I might know the lady, and we’ll know what to do from there.” That was my own concern.
All her other talks about satisfying him only for him to cheat and betray her, weren’t any of my business. That was between her and Dennis. All I needed to know was if she had evidence.
“No, I didn’t take pictures. The thought didn’t even cross my mind until I confronted him when he got back home, and he denied it. It was his words against mine, since I had no proof.” She retorted and then burst into tears while I let out a deep sigh of relief.
For the first time since I walked into the house, my mind was finally at rest.
No pictures, no proof. My secret was safe!
She had no idea I was the lady she saw Dennis with.
“How could we be so careless?” I didn’t know I was thinking out loud, until I heard Freya’s voice.
“What did you say?” She asked, while I quickly reached for her hand again.
“Nothing. I was just thinking about everything you said about Dennis. It’s so surprising. He doesn’t even look like someone who could cheat. Even with the way he acts around other women, I would have thought he wasn’t into girls if I didn’t know how much he loves you.”
“I know right. I thought so too. Dennis was so sweet on me when we started. He showed me what true love is. He loved me with all his heart and never fails to show it.” She chimed in while I rolled my eyes when she wasn’t looking.
“Of course , I know. He’s a deep lover. So what are you going to do now? I’m so sorry you’re going through this.” I chimed in.
“Oh no, please don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault.”
“But it is, I matchmade you two. If I knew he was going to hurt you like the other ones, I wouldn’t have done that.” I quickly cut in while she shook her head.
“It’s not your fault. There’s no way you could have known.” She insisted, while I then pulled her into an embrace, gently patting her on the back while she continued sobbing.
“It’s going to be fine.”
“So what do you plan on doing now?” I quizzed while I slowly released her.
“I don’t know… I’m still thinking.”
“But you said you had already confronted him and he denied it. What else can you do? And you know how much he loves you, I would suggest you take things slow, you know. Get to the root of the matter before making any decision.” I let out while she quickly pulled away from me and, seeing the fierce look on her face, I could tell she was about to unleash some anger on me.
“Get to the root of the matter? What other root is there to get to after seeing him with my own eyes? He was kissing her, they were tongue deep in each other’s throats!”
“Tell me, where were you last night?” I jerked in my seat when she asked me this.
“What?” I exclaimed.
“I wanted to call you last night, but I didn’t know if you were available. Where were you?” I relaxed when she repeated herself.
“I was at home in bed, sleeping.” I affirmed.
“You know what? Let’s just forget this. You’re obviously getting worked up, and I don’t like that. You’re not feeling well so you need a lot of rest and care, which is why I am here.” I quickly changed the subject.
“Have you eaten?” She didn’t answer me, but I already know the answer.
“I will take that as a no. Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat.” I retorted and then disappeared into the kitchen.
Getting her a plate of breakfast was real easy since the fridge was full. I pushed the tray on the table in front of her and waited till she took the first bite before I grabbed my phone and excused myself.
“I need to use the bathroom real quick. Will you be fine here by yourself?” I asked.
“Of course, it’s my house after all…”
I rolled my eyes when she said this.
She’s so full of herself and always quick to rub her wealth in people’s faces. It’s not even her money. I mean, if her father wasn’t a billionaire, we would be on the same level. Heck, I would even be better than her. I’m a hard worker, and I’ve worked hard for every dime I’ve earned in my life.
Freya? A lazy, entitled brat who thinks the whole world revolves around her pretty face!
That’s why she keeps trying to buy love with money, but the men keep dropping her every minute. I would too if I were a man. No one wants a woman who constantly reminds them she’s richer!
“B*tch ass!” I spat in the sink and turned on the tap. I went back into the room and sat at the dressing table, staring in the mirror with rage while my phone rang.
“Honey?” Dennis' voice sounded over the phone and, just like that, my anger dissolved like salt in the water.
“How are you doing this beautiful morning? I missed you. Last night still rings in my head. Want to meet again tonight?” He asked and I found myself blushing sheepishly. But then, I quickly snapped out of it. This wasn’t the time to slack or make more mistakes.
“I would love that too, but we can’t. We are in deep sh*t!” I let out.
“What? What deep sh*t?" He quickly asked.
“Freya knows! She knows we are together!”
“What?”
“Well, she doesn’t know that we are together or that you’re with me, but she knows that you’re seeing someone else. She followed you to the hotel last night and saw you and I making out!”
“What? She did what?”
“Okay, she didn’t exactly see us together. She only saw you but didn’t see my face, so she doesn’t know you were with me. She only saw you were with a lady and then ran out.”
“F*ck f*ck f*ck!!! That was why she confronted me last night. I was surprised too, she has never done such before, so I was shocked, but I felt she was just being the entitled brat that she is! F*ck!! I had no idea she already caught me!”
“Just relax, she has no proof so we need to think of a way out very fast. I’ve tried to probe her to know if she has any plans, but I don’t think she does.” I let out.
“She’s stupidly in love with you and I don’t think she’s done with you yet. You just need to find a way to get her back right where you hooked her. And you need to do that fast,” I said firmly.
“Yes, you’re right. I need to play this right and I know exactly what to do. You’re home with her, right?” He asked.
“Yeah, I came right away after she told me. I was so scared, I just had to come find out things for myself.” I affirmed.
“Good! Make sure she doesn’t have any time to herself. She’s not really smart but sure overthinks a lot. She might figure things out if she’s left to think deeply, so make sure to keep her on her toes throughout the day. I mean, talk to her and make sure she doesn’t have any free time to think about it.” He ordered, and I felt my feelings aroused for a second there.
I like it when he gets bossy. It turns me on a lot.
“Sure, you know you can trust me on that. I’m going to find out everything she knows and plans to do. Just make sure you come up with a solid plan. We are close to our goal now, we can’t afford to forfeit that because of silly mistakes.” I asserted.
“I’m going to sort it out.” He affirmed and then hung up.
That was weird, he never ends the call without kissing me, but I understood he was probably distracted because of the news I just gave him. I was too, when I heard.
I hadn’t finished that thought when my phone rang again.
“I forgot to kiss you.” He let out and then the muaahh sound came, sending cold shivers down my spine.
He hung up afterward while I sat there smiling at the screen…
Freya“You’re done eating already?” Sonia asked, while I nodded.“You stayed long, and I was hungry, so yes, I’m done.” I let out, and she smiled while coming back to sit beside me.I actually didn’t eat the food. I couldn’t. Not after seeing the way she hung her legs over my fiancé’s head and let him f*ck her like the wh*re that she is. How could I then eat the food that she prepared after that horrible scene? What if she poisoned it? At least that would make their plans come through faster. I would be out of the picture, and they would have access to everything their greedy ass ever wanted…“I’m coming… let me get the nail kit, you need some manicure and pedicure.” Sonia suddenly let out, abruptly pulling me from my thoughts.“But I just did them a week ago.” I didn’t want her anywhere close to the sensitive parts of my body.“A week ago? Girl! That’s long enough for a do-over!” She let out and then ran upstairs while I stared long at the nails.She soon came back with my nail box a
Sonia“Babe…” I quickly ran to the door once I heard his voice.It was Dennis and though I had been boiling with rage ever since he got back this evening, the moment I opened the door and saw his face, all the anger dissolved.“Took you so long… were you f*cking her?” I asked, rolling my eyes and pretending to be angry.He smiled and pulled me into his arms while I tried harder to hold back the blush. He started kissing me all over the face, and before I knew what was going on, I was already smiling sheepishly.“See? I always get you. You can't be mad at your man.” He retorted while I gently hit his chest and pushed him off.“Why didn’t you tell me about the surprise? And what was that about? Kissing and drooling all over her? Are you in love with her now?” I quizzed, rolling my eyes again.He wanted to pull me into his arms again, but I stepped back.“No, you don’t get to do that. I want answers, use your words and not your hands.” I said frankly.“Well, I did tell you I would handle
Freya“Heyyy…” I let out as I stepped into the kitchen and saw Sonia making breakfast.“Why are you bothering yourself this early morning?” I asked while she smiled.“It’s not a bother. You’re not well, and I thought to make breakfast for you and Dennis,” she explained.“But…”“No buts. You’re not a bother, and I’m happy to do it.” She affirmed.“Here, I’ll serve your food now. Come over.” She chimed in and then started serving the dinette while I took a seat.The door opened and Dennis appeared. I caught the knowing glance they both exchanged, but then pretended like I didn’t see.He came over and kissed me on the lips while Sonia stood behind me. I knew they would still be sharing the glances but do I care?“Morning my love…” he finally found his voice.“Good morning Dennis…” Sonia quickly replied before I could.I closed my mouth and smiled. Well, of course, she was his love, so why should I be the one replying?“Morning Sonia. Hope you slept well?” He turned to her.“Yes, I did. W
Victor“Can I have those files on Demock?” I said to Anna, my assistant, over the phone.“Okay sir. The Walters have gotten back to us too. I sent their response to your mail about thirty minutes ago.” She retorted.“Okay then, I will check it out now. Please don’t forget the files I asked for. I need to work on them now.” I hung up afterward, but it hadn’t been five seconds before she called back.“What else, Anna?” I asked, trying not to sound angry.“There’s one Miss Becca here asking to see you sir, I’ve told her now is not a good time, but she’s insisting on seeing you.” She rushed through the words and I could hear the frustration in her voice too.“Does she have an appointment?”“No, Sir.”“Then tell her to leave. I’m busy.” I said, and then hung up immediately.Again, it hadn’t been a few seconds before I heard a loud bang on my door. I looked up just in time for the door to open. It was Becca, looking like she was about to pick a fight with me.“How dare you ask your assistan
FreyaPromising Victor that I'd be calm was easy, but actually keeping to the deal was the problem. I just couldn't take my mind and eyes off the video.I went straight to the office from Victor's place and the moment I clicked the door shut, I hurried to my seat. I grabbed my phone and started watching the video all over again.I watched it over three times and each time, it felt different, like I was just seeing it for the first time.I pushed my phone forward while I buried my head on my desk. I was boiling with rage and I just needed to get my mind off it.The day went by in a blur. I couldn't even concentrate on work. I was so disturbed and had to push a lot of the work to my assistant, which she did under my supervision.“Are you okay, Freya?” Grace, my assistant asked.“Yes, I'm okay. Just a little bit under the weather.” I let out while she gave me a scrutiny look. She wasn't quite convinced, and I could understand her concern. It wasn't like me to keep to myself or even push
DennisFor the first time since Freya and I started dating, I was so mad at her. The anger was so much that I just had to leave the room before I did something I would love to regret. Besides, any mistake could ruin all my hard work and plans. The last three years of my life have been strategic, and I wasn’t going to ruin that just because a b*tch was being disrespectful…I slammed the door shut and it gave a loud bang. I crashed into the bed and flung the extra pillows all over the room. I was trying to let out my anger.“How dare she disrespect me like that? That f*cking b*tch? Does she really think I love her that much to tolerate all her nonsense? If not for…” I stopped for a minute and looked around the place.It felt odd, like someone was watching. I stood up and then looked around the room, not even sure what I was looking for.I went back to bed and started battling with my raging thoughts…I was never in love with Freya. Right from the start, it had always been about money…“
Sonia“No… no… no! Please… don’t... please…” I was literally begging the lines not to come up. I threw the strip in the bin and then pulled out another one. That was the fifth test.I had been feeling sick lately, but I didn’t pay much attention to it until yesterday, when I woke up and started throwing up. Washing off my mouth and face, it occurred to me that something was off. The sickness had lingered for over a week, and it was always in the morning. It started off as a mild dizziness when I woke up and then turned into nausea. Throwing up on two mornings gave me an idea what might be wrong. I desperately kicked against the thought.Pregnancy? Never! I can’t afford to be pregnant, not at this time. It would ruin a lot of things. But then, I needed to be sure, so as I was coming back from the office yesterday, I stopped by at the store and got a box of the pregnancy home test. The first stop showed I was pregnant. The second one too, and the next. Pulling out the sixth one now
FreyaI got back from work a few nights ago and Dennis had indeed moved out of the room. No apology, no remorse… nothing. He moved everything out.The moment I entered the room, I just knew something was different. I went into the closet and it became clear. He had moved out. Not even a single piece of his clothing was left behind.Ever since we moved into the penthouse, we’ve slept in the same room every night. Even on movie nights when we sleep off in the living room while watching movies, we still sleep in each other’s arms. Now we are apart and need to stay apart.I sat there in the center of the closet and scrolled through my gallery. Our pictures, the sweet intimacy we shared. Everything is all down the drain.Every day after then has been a struggle. I tried to keep up a front in the presence of Dennis. I act like I wasn’t bothered, and he does the same too.We both go to work without seeing each other and in the evening when we run into each other in the kitchen or around the
