The deal

ALLYSSA

As the wind blew furiously, sending chills to my spine.

I layed in bed alone, sweet memories haunting me.

I had to be strong, this was for us all.

Nothing could please me more than Rev's happiness.

Even if I was not part of his life, 

Watching him happy from the sidelines could give me much happiness.

I love him very much, and love was sacrifice.

I could not sit and watch my husband suffer, I could not see him try to hide the pain in his eyes.

I remembered how difficult it was for us, how he went from place to place, did two jobs at a time, so we could gather five million for the surgery.

Maybe someday, he wouldn't hate me so much, he wouldn't think that I betrayed him, he could understand why I did this. 

It was the only way I could protect him, the only way I could help him out.

There were a lot of things that Jedd didn't know about.

If hurting him and myself, would save him, I'd do it a million times.

He would get a better life, a life where I was not included.

I could live with Rev's hate, could survive seeing him happy with someone else.

But not in a world, where there was no Rev.

I breathed in, my hands rubbing against the ring he'd given me.

I still remembered, those moments, his eyes, his handsome fair face, his blue eyes, full lips, against my face as he asked me to be his.

I could treasure every moment, from the first day we met, to the time I'd broken him.

From our first night together, when he thrusted his cock deep into me.

The very moment he made me his.

The way he cupped my face.

"Look at me" he said, as he glided in and out of me.

" I don't deserve you" he trailed kisses on my skin, drawing moans from my lips.

" You don't deserve me for real" I replied, my hands all over him, as he took me deeper, pushing me deeper against the bed.

His hands pinned mine, as he trailed kisses from my neck, downwards to the curves in my breast.

"I'm going to worship every part of you, I'll be so wealthy, that everything, everything desire,every wish, of yours will be served, you're my queen and you deserve the world" 

I still remembered every mark of his teeth, adding perfect marks to my body.

Every words of love, he whispered to my ears.

To him, I was his everything, his desire, his happiness..

He would surely hate me for breaking him, for breaking US.

The door opened, interrupting my sad memories, little Essy in pink pajamas came in.

She smiled, as she made her way to my bed.

"Why are you all alone?

" Where's daddy? She asked.

I thought of a lie..

"Well he's out for now" I drew her close, wrapping my hands around her.

"Do you two even sleep together? She asked.

" What do you think? I smiled.

"Married couples sleep together"

"Of course they do" I replied.

"Mmh, I've never seen you two tho"

"Cos whenever you decide to come, Daddy is never in with me" 

" Mmhh, next time, I'll meet him"

" Sure" I stroke her hair.

" I love you, I'm glad you're here"

" I love you too baby" I drew her close enough to shower her face with kisses.

JEDD.

I stood in front of the door listening.

My chest tightens with warmth.

I didn't know what I would have done, if not for her.

Essy was diagnosed with, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

She'd held unto Allyssa at the hospital.

She was crying, and I knew from that moment that my daughter needed her.

I could not make a move, she was married.

I only watched them, holding unto each other, with tears in their eyes.

It was later I learnt of, her husband's mother in the hospital.

Parting from her was not easy, Essy wanted to be with her.

And I myself wished that the pretty lady, with long black hair, and beautiful eyes was single.

Her kindness, her devotion, melted my heart.

I still found ways to look for her, my daughter demanded for her everyday.

It was part of the contract, it was the first on the list of the reasons why we were together.

Why we could be the couple, everyone thought us to be.

The next morning as I got out of bed, the workers had arrived, I watched from my window.

Rev Montago was with the boss, I'd given him the contract, but he couldn't know, at least for now.

I'd also paid up his debts, keeping my part of the deal.

I watched him, this could be hard for him, seeing us together, it wasn't my intention, but it already happened..

The building construction was for a new tenant, and also for my sister.

Ari was coming back from Florida.

The workers could certainly be done with the building, when she was due to arrive 

I showered quickly, Allyssa was up, I watched as she brushed Essy's hair.

"Today the weather is nice, can I take you both out?

Allyssa turned.

" What do you say? She look at Essy.

"Why would you give me the rights to decide? 

Essy folded her hands.

I smiled.

" Well I'll decide then " Allyssa looked at me, those beautiful eyes settled on me.

"We're going" Essy said quickly, she looked down at Essy giving her the sweetest look.

Fuck, she was beautiful.

"You both have to hurry up, before I change my mind" I looked away.

"Hear that? Let's gooo" Essy dragged her hands, I watch as they both went upstairs.

The moment they re appeared, hand in hand, they were the most beautiful sight.

"Dad how do we look?

" Beautiful" I looked from Essy, my gaze lingering on Allyssa.

" Can we go now? She asked..

The moment we stepped out, Rev turned and,

Ally frozed as their eyes met.
