Richard and I had to end the conversation as we heard Joseph's footsteps."Did you have to tell Grandpa to force me into coming?" Joseph asked."Of course. You have been away from your family for years now."I didn't want to listen to their conversation and gladly, Erica called. She was my best friend since preschool."Hey girl." She said as soon as I answered the call."What's up, babe? How are you?" She squealed from the other end.I decided to end the call and finish up in the kitchen."Excuse me," I said to the two brothers who were still talking angrily to each other.I didn't get any reply and I left for my room.I quickly called Erica again and she answered immediately."Is everything fine?""Yes, Erica. I've missed you." I said as tears clouded my eyes."Tell me the whole truth. How has Joseph been treating you?" She asked. I knew that she could tell my moods and when I was hiding something.I made sure the door of my room was locked before I narrated all that had been happeni

A gasp rose from the lips of the young man as recognition hit him like a freight train.“Joseph Dale!.” He said in astonishment. Everyone around stopped whatever they had been doing to watch. The young girls by the side had their jaws slacked. Joseph felt his pride rising, a feeling that was not too far from an erection rising.“You’re my boss! You’re my boss from work!” the young man exclaimed. Joseph was completely surprised by the turn of events. A thought ran through his mind and he chuckled to himself.“What’s your name, young man?” he asked in mocking sympathy.“D-Dalton..Dalton Johnson sir.” He stammered excitedly. “Intern at the marketing office. My office is four floors below yours. I see you come in every day and I see you leave every evening.” “Is that so?” Joseph asked with a smile. This is going to be nice, he thought to himself. “Dalton right?”“Yes sir.” The young intern said, desperate to please his billionaire boss.“That’s good,” Joseph said with a smile. Everyone w

Joseph stood staring at me for a long time. I could not discern the thoughts in his mind when I looked into his eyes.Was it admiration?Or was it just lust?A tingling sensation filled my body. Not the sensation of lust or arousal, but one that made my skin tingle.He snapped out of his trance and walked away from me. The echo of his footsteps filled the halls as he walked away. I bowed my head low, I could never understand why he did things like this. He made me feel so loved for one second only to dash my feelings against the wall.“Are you coming or are you just going to leave me waiting here?” His words floated into my ears and I raised my eyes to see him standing in front of the door. I walked to him and together we walked to the car. I was about to open the passenger door but Joseph strode to my side and held the door open for me to go in.What the hell was happening? I couldn’t understand a thing that was going on. Was this my husband, or a doppelganger? I could not wrap my m

They say expect disappointment and you can never be let down, but right now I was completely thrown off balance.The attendant had given me such a feeling of happiness that I forgot that my marriage brought together the two biggest business rivals in the world. Every single one of them was glaring at me, including my own husband.Joseph was staring at me with a look of absolute hate. My heart missed a beat and my mind was instantly scrambled. What happened to be the little perfect couple in front of his family? He lifted his eyes from mine and glared at his grandfather with a look that surpassed the one he had treated me to in a thousandfold.“You have no right to talk to my wife that way.” He said with so much anger that his voice was basically trembling. I could see his fist clenched so hard that his knuckles had turned white.“Shame on you Joseph. How could you bring this filth here to our house.” An elderly woman by the

“I don’t remember much of what happened but one day when I was nine my parents went out one night.” He began, “I had been left with my grandparents and sometime that night there was a call.”He paused and gulped. I had never seen my husband this way, and my heart bled to see him this way. The lights from the buildings reflected on his face and I could see a faint glitter in his eyes. My husband was crying.“The hallways echoed that night because my grandpa had gone to bed and I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go answer the phone.” He paused and looked at me. I immediately knew that he was fighting the urge to stop talking but could not.“The call was from the doctor, he didn’t even know it was a child on the phone.” He paused and wiped his eyes. I could already guess what had been said and I wanted to tell him to stop. It was obviously hurting him so much. “My parents had been involved in an accident and had died on their way to the hospital.” He stopped and stared at the way ahead an

I did not understand what was going on but I did know one thing. I did not hate it.I wanted to stay in bed with him forever but my morning called and I knew that I had to make breakfast for him. I slowly removed his arms hoping not to wake him. He simply groaned and went back to sleep. II turned on our cooker and placed some slices of bacon on the frypan. The house was so quiet so I decided to liven the place up a little with a little music. I went to my phone and got on my Spotify app. Soon the happy sounds of Maroon 5 filled the house with beautiful music and couldn’t help it when my hips began to move to the rhythm of the music.“My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen…” I was drowned in the melody and soon I put the eggs on and brewed the coffee. The chorus came on once again and I was about to sing to it when his voice came to me.“My heart is a stereo, it beats for you so listen closely…” I turned around to find Joseph, my once abusive and grumpy husband singing at the

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” have you suddenly gone mad?” Josep asked. He was absolutely flabbergasted and the look on his face brought me so much joy.“It seems you have forgotten your place.” He said with a sneer and walked to me. “ I make the rules in this deal, I pull the strings, I make the shots.” He said punctuating each statement with a poke at my chest. But I refused to be intimated, not now, not ever.“I have been a fool to let you abuse me so much in the last few months. You have treated me less than shit and I won't stand for it anymore.” I retorted back with so much energy that Joseph took a step back and stared.His shock was soon replaced with anger and he rushed at me and grabbed me by the wrist.“You think you’re something? You’re a nobody, without me, you’d be no better than a beggar.” Joseph pulled at my wrists and pressed hard. A stinging pain shot up my arm and my knees became weak.“Let me go,” I said with a defiance that I did not truly feel. He responded

An easy quiet filled the space between us. The full extent of my words hit me like a hurricane. Joseph stared at me for a long time in unbelieve. I gasped and quickly shut my mouth with my hands.“I’m so sorry.” I pleaded.Joseph just watched me. He seemed completely lifeless and was no longer paying attention to my plea. Jesus, what have I done?He looked at me with a strange expression on his face. Soon his face contorted in anger and his fingers coiled into a fist. His eyes turned red, and his lips trembled greatly.He raised his fist and made to punch me and closed my eyes out of fright. A few seconds passed in absolute silence and I slowly opened my eyes. He was standing over me with his fist a few centimeters away from my face. My heart was racing at an astounding speed and my chest heaved like a piston. He stared at me and dropped his arm but the anger was still in him. The silence was broken by the ringing of his phone and Joseph rushed to it like he had been waiting for

I could not stop the tears as they came gushing out. “Papa, Papa!! Wake up please.” I pleaded. “Don’t leave me.”My whole body heaved with the effort of crying and my eyes felt like they were going to fall out of their sockets. I soon felt the firm touch of my husband’s arms around me and I happily leaned into him. I cried until his shirt was soaked through but he just stood there. He didn’t over any words of solace or sympathy. Joseph just stood there. He pulled me up to my feet effortlessly and walked me to the car. I was too numb to protest and my eyes were almost blinded from the tears.“Let me go.” I protested weakly. “Let me go, you bastard. Let me go now!!” my voice increased in tempo but he just continued dragging me along. I became angry and started hitting him as hard as my frail body would allow but he didn’t even flinch.Catherine walked behind us with wet eyes and Joseph turned to face her.“lock the house up and take this.” He pushed me into the car and locked the door
