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 assistant not to let me in? Did you need permission to get in my pants the countless times you did?” She slammed at me.
“What are you doing in my office, Becca? I don’t attend to people unless they have prior appointments?” I said in a gentle tone.
I didn’t want to stoop to her level and start barking like she was.
“Don’t you f*cking ignore me, Victor? Where were you last night? We were supposed to meet at the lounge? You refused to show up, and you didn’t even bother to call to cancel!”
“Well, I haven’t showed up for weeks now… shouldn’t that tell you that I’m no longer into you?”
“What?”
“I guess you didn’t know. I’ll use this opportunity to enlighten you then. Becca, I’ve had enough of you, I’m no longer interested or into you. I’ve moved on to someone else now. She’s better, prettier, and doesn’t cheaply offer herself to men like you do.” I let out while Anna chuckled lightly.
She quickly composed herself, but Becca wouldn’t let that slide. She turned to Anna and almost slapped her if I hadn’t caught her hand fast.
“Don’t you dare!”
“Get out of my office now!” I slammed at her and pushed her off when she wanted to bring her mouth close to mine.
“You can’t do this to me, Victor! This wasn’t our agreement. Remember all your promises, the love we shared, the memories. I know I can be annoying at times, but I love you, you know I do! I’m sorry if I wronged you, I really am. I just want my man back!”
“I was never your man, Becca!”
“Please Victor!!”
“Please leave, I have work to do, and you’re disturbing that.” When she tried to touch me again, I made a face at Anna, and she got the clue immediately.
She left the office and was soon back with the security. Two hefty men. I didn’t need to say a word. One carried her while the other packed her bag and shoes.
“Don’t you dare touch me you imbeci*e! Put me down now!”
“This isn’t the end, Victor! I will be back, and you won’t like to experience that side of me!” She kept yelling, but the men didn’t stop, and I wasn’t bothered either.
Anna closed the door afterward while we settled at my desk, ready to continue with work.
“Make sure to tell them at the gate. Becca is no longer allowed on this premise. Understood?” She nodded and we continued with work.
About thirty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Anna sprung to her feet to get it while my eyes remained buried in the computer screen.
“Heyy, Victor?” The moment I heard the gentle soothing voice, I just knew it was my Freya.
I could never mistake her voice. I looked up immediately and there she was, looking radiant as ever. Her curly hair bounced over her shoulders while her gown hugged her curves perfectly. Even with little makeup on, she looked effortlessly beautiful.
“Hi, Freya. Good morning, please come sit.”
“Excuse us please, Anna.” I said and then quickly went over to welcome Freya and lead her to a seat.
“Good morning, sorry I didn’t call before coming. I didn’t have the time, you know, the people at home.” She retorted while my brows furrowed.
“People? Didn’t know you had other people living with you other than Dennis?”
“Ohh no, I don’t. Sonia came around yesterday to take care of me. I wasn’t feeling too well… or rather, that was what I told them. She and Dennis. I needed a plan to get this.” She replied and then took out her computer.
She clicked some buttons and the screen soon came on. She moved the cursor and the next second, sexual moans filled the office.
“Ohhh sorry…” she quickly reduced the volume while I chuckled.
I could see anger building up on her face as the video played on, so after about a minute, I stopped it.
“That’s not all…” she cut in sharply.
“It’s fine. I can guess the rest of it. That’s Sonia and Dennis having sex. There’s no need to watch them explore sexual positions.” I let out with a subtle tease, trying to lighten up the mood. It didn’t work.
“I can’t believe they could do such in my house, right under my nose! Only God knows for how long that has been going on. Sonia comes over every other week since Dennis and I moved in together. She always pretends she was there to keep my company. I didn’t know she was only there to keep eyes on her man… no, no, no… her husband!!” She let out bitterly.
I didn’t stop her from lashing out. It would do her more good to let out her anger than keep it inside. Having that much energy bottled in could make her go crazy one night and do unthinkable things that might land her in a storm.
“They couldn’t even hide it… or maybe I now see them for they really are. They keep sharing glances, smiling and talking to each other with their eyes. It’s so disgusting, honestly. I just had to excuse them this morning. It was obvious I was the third wheel in their relationship.” She continued.
“So how were you able to get this? You know we can’t use it if it was gotten illegally.” I finally found my voice.
“Of course I’m aware. I had one of my guys install a camera in the room and I secretly recorded them. If you listened till the end, you would have heard them talking about how they thought they fooled me.”
“After Dennis went to work yesterday, I called Sonia, told her I was suspecting Dennis and I couldn’t even go to work because I was devastated over it. She came running over to the house as expected.”
“She tried to probe me and I showed her the text message you sent. I told her I didn’t see the lady’s face though, but I was sure she was cheating.”
“Guess what happened next? Dennis came home that evening with the guys from the office claiming he had planned a surprise party for me. That was his reason for being at the hotel. To meet the planner.” She said the last part with an air quote and I couldn’t help but laugh.
She laughed too. It was that funny.
“That guy must think you’re a fool.” I let out.
“I was. But no more. I’m going to make them both suffer so much that they will never think of doing this to anyone else. Victor, I need to get my revenge.” She said firmly while I reached for her hand, but she slid off subtly.
“Trust me, we are going to get you revenge. I won’t stop until he has learned his lesson… and in the hardest way possible. Just be calm.” I assured her.
“This video has made a lot of things easier for us. I will copy it now and send it to my private investigator. He will safeguard it till we need it. You know anything could happen to this copy. We need to be steps ahead in whatever we are doing.” She nodded and I smiled.
“Please be calm. You don’t want him getting suspicious till it’s too late. We need them to think they’re still in control, huh?” I said to her while she nodded.
“Say it, Freya. Are you with me on this?” I asked again.
“Yes, I’ll be calm…”
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
Freya“So what do you plan on doing now?” Stacey asked after she had agreed to spy on Sonia for me. Since she wasn’t her attending doctor, she could still help out without being bothered about doctor-patient confidentiality. It's just that, the information she can give me would be really limited. I don't need much either, I just wanted someone to keep tabs on her. Someone other than me...“A lot bit for now, I will get in touch with my partner and make some new plans.” I replied while she nodded.“And do you trust this person? I mean, according to what you said, he was the one who texted out first. How are you sure he’s not just using you for his own selfish interest?” She quizzed.“Because he’s getting something out of the deal too. I’m getting married to him. That was his only condition. He needs to take over his family’s business and that won’t be possible until he gets married. That’s where I come in. He helps me get revenge and I get married to him.”“What? Freya, that’s ridiculo
Victor“Why are you helping me out of nowhere, Victor? Have we met before? I mean, maybe there was a time that I stood you up and now you want revenge?”“What? You’ve suddenly lost your voice now? Come on, just tell me the truth? What’s your real motive behind all this you’re doing?” “Why are you helping me, Victor??”“Can you please come in and let’s talk about this?” I finally found my voice after minutes of just staring blankly at her. She glared at me for some seconds before dashing past me. I locked the door and then went to join her. She was too angry to sit so she stood up, her hands gripping her waist tightly while she glared at me.“You need to relax, Freya. You already know why I’m doing this, I have no other motive.” She smirked and then retorted, “ohh really, why didn’t you tell me about Stacey then? Or that we had a blind date where I stood you up and you wanted revenge? Is that what this is about? Revenge?” “Of course yes! We are doing this to revenge for you! About
FreyaI hopped in the backseat while Victor closed the door and waved me goodbye. I kept staring in the side mirror, watching him stuck to the same spot, watching till the car was out of his sight.“Do you know my place?” I finally looked away from the mirror.“Yes ma’am.” The driver replied, while I then relaxed and enjoyed the ride.It felt nice to be rightly pampered by a man who knows what I want without even having to say a word. He knew I wasn’t in the right mood to drive, and then insisted I get help instead. Dennis would never do that. He would have just nodded and watched me drive home tired. The only time he puts pressure is in bed. Once he is horny, he suddenly becomes a caring man.“Urghhh…” I shrugged as we pulled into the front of the house.The driver hopped down and got the door for me, making me smile.“Thank you…”“Anderson! It’s Anderson ma’am!” He chimed in.“Thank you, Anderson. How will you get back to the house now? Why don’t you take the car, and I’ll send some
FreyaI felt my heart tighten in my chest as I watched with horror, my fiancé and my best friend having sex in the hotel. They were so engrossed and couldn’t even care less that they were half naked and anyone who cared, could see them from the glass wall of the building’s fourth floor. Sonia was pressed to the wall while Dennis worked her insides from behind. I couldn’t hear her moans but with every second that I imagined it, my heart sank the more.Tears flooded my face as I flashed into the last two years of my life when I met Dennis. He was everything I wanted and more. Tall, handsome, broad shoulders and chest, I couldn’t stop drooling as he pulled me into a hug. For a moment there, my heart forgot how to beat, and the moment he smiled and introduced himself, I knew I was going to marry him. I had fallen hard in love with him.Before then, Dennis and I had been talking online for two months. Sonia matchmade us, and though I didn’t want another relationship at the time, she had co
