CHAPTER 81

"Did you dare raise your voice at me, Julian?" Adrian asked, his voice hushed and metered, only dripping with quiet intensity. There was almost a hum of silence around his words as he spoke-the tone a subtle warning, reminding him of the balance in the power scales."I mean, did you yell at me?" he continued in the same tone of voice, though his words low and controlled, definitely carried a lot of steel beneath them.He tried to explain, to justify the outburst, but Adrian would have none of it. He shut Julian down, his voice rising in a subtle yet unmistakable warning. "Julian," he called, firm and authoritative. The single word was like a slap, sharp rebuke that left Julian reeling.Adrian's next words were like a bombshell-a devastating accusation that left Julian gasping."You asked me for my wife's number so you could send her your nude pictures, right?" he yelled, his voice a mix of anger, outrage, and feelings of betrayal. The words hung in the air like a challenge-a no-he-cou

CHAPTER 82

The moment the music began playing, I lost myself to the rhythm. However, it was then that I felt Adrian staring at me. His eyes remained on my hips and waist; his gaze would move with the way my body moved as I swayed to the beat. Instantly, a shiver ran down my spine, knowing he watched me with such burning in his eyes that seemed to pierce right through me.The music was louder, peaking, when Adrian just vanished into the sea of people and started dancing behind me, his body exactly in time with mine. Reaching around my waist, his hands circled me, almost like an embracing warmth. A surge of thrill rose as he drew me nearer to him; our bodies swaying with the beat perfectly.We were just getting into the mood with the music, until Zen cut through the noise; his hands in a cutting action across his chest stopped the music, as if demanding order."Alright, alright," he started, an irritating smile just tipping at his mouth, "the time is finally ripe to unwrap those presents which you

CHAPTER 83

THE NEXT DAYEarly morning sun pierced the window, its warm rays dancing around the room, lighting it with soft, gold-colored light. Outside, the birds were melodiously chirping, their voices filled with trills, one of those sweet serenades that somehow seemed to go in rhythm with my heartbeat. And then the freshness of the morning breeze, through an opened window wafting in with fresh flowers just opened, promising a new day's greetings.My body stretched, still with the tiredness of the night's party, hanging onto my muscles. My mind started working, revisiting what had happened the previous night, and a smile spread on my face at the passion which had filled every moment Adrian and I were together. Images of our lovemaking filled my mind, and my whole body was aflame in warm sensation-a tingling feeling in my body, like an arousal of my senses.As I turned toward Adrian, he was still sleeping; his chest rose and fell with each soft breath. I couldn't help but smile as I took in the

CHAPTER 84

My mind reeled as I stared at my phone, the message screaming a mixture of emotions. My stepdad, strict and unbending-a man who always demanded and never asked-was on his knees, beseeching me to beg Adrian, a prospective client, to grant him a very lucrative steel contract. Something was not adding up. My stepdad never begged, and the fact that he was doing so made my skin crawl.As I sat down to give it a thought, a growing sense of unease developed in me. Was my stepfather just trying to scam Adrian out of his money, or was there something shady about the deal that I hadn't known? The truth behind my stepdad's desperation needed to come out, and I was going to dig it out.I brought my hands to my head, my fingers massaging my temples as I tried to gather my thoughts. I needed a plan, some strategy as to how to bring the truth to light. I would have to question my stepdad, prod him for information, and see if I could catch him in a lie. But what should I ask him? And how would I know

CHAPTER 85

Out into the kitchen, streaked the sun through the windows; the warmth of morning above cascaded down to the beaming countertops into high-gloss and most modern appliances. With my calculated steps, I headed for the middle island, where several maids had begun preparing breakfast. "Good morning, ma," a rather diminutive-sized one among the group greeted-her head down in some kind of prostrate position-on the floor.I smiled, my lips curling wryly. "Good morning, Helen," I replied warmly. Her eyes lit with a smile, and she rose to her feet. "Aww, ma, you look like someone whose husband is taking good care of," she said, her voice dripping with surprised curiosity. "That's lovely, ma," she said genuinely in admiration.I giggled, feeling the heat rise in my chest as Adrian came into my mind. "Thank you, Helen," I said, smiling at her. My mind kept running to Adrian as I was instructing the maids on what to do for the day, and I found myself thinking,"I think Adrian is the best part of

CHAPTER 86

My hand cradled the phone, but all I could feel was an upward surge of my anger coursing through my veins. I had been speaking with my stepdad, whose condescending tone of voice and hurtful comments had gotten under my skin-literally.Immediately, I hung up the call because he would only be getting satisfaction if he got my goat. Taking a deep breath, I tried to shake the feeling and instead focused on the warmth and comfort a kitchen was supposed to provide.When Mam Helen came into the kitchen, her jolly voice was heard shouting, "Let's cook and sing!" Her smile was infectious; she hummed a wild, unmelodious fire that compelled me to smile back at her, for this beautiful woman had seen me through thick and thin.Helen has always been my rock, my confidante, and my best maid. She knew me better than anyone else, knowing my quirks and preferences with uncanny intuition. I often would say to myself that she was my sister from another mom because our bond was strong.As we began to cook

CHAPTER 87

As I watched the screen, my eyes widened while reading what Samuel said. "You know you haven't seen the bad side of me, right?" he said, and instantly that message ran chills down my body. I started feeling a bit creepy, and questions raged in my mind: what was Samuel talking about, and why was he threatening me? Each one was more ominous than the others, and the words seemed to echo in my mind.My eyes remained on the screen, my heart pounding against my chest, as the next message was: "You have to tell Adrian about it, unless you want to lose your mom. Be ready for the bad news about her." It felt like someone had punched me in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of them.What was Samuel trying to say? What kind of bad news could he have about my mom? It was unbearable even to think of losing Mommy, and Samuel seemed to savor every word with an evil intention.My fingers flew across the keyboard. "What do you mean?" I typed, my worst-case scenarios dancing in my mind. I was get

CHAPTER 88

Seated in this still, quiet space and surrounded by the calm sounds of nature, I felt a wave of comfort wash over me. Helen, with her soft, gentle, and caring countenance, regarded me with her empathetic eyes, her voice a soft whisper, as if to calm the very fibers of my soul."So sorry, mam, do you want to tell about the problem?" she asked gently, in the voice that brought one shade cooler on a scorching summer day.In the first instance, I wasn't quite ready to unburden my heart to a complete stranger, but there was something in Helen's voice which at the same time soothing and judgment-proof.It was as if she had created a safe space, a sanctuary where I could let my guard down and be vulnerable. And so, with a sense of trepidation, I began to open up to her."I did not want to share the problem with anyone," I said in a barely audible voice, "but." I stopped, breathed in deeply, and the words burst out of me like water from a burst dam."Someone is threatening me," I said, and th

CHAPTER 89

As I sat on the couch, my hands just scrolling through my phone, fingers subconsciously leading me to the bank app, I swiftly logged in. The familiar sight of the app was a welcome comfort as I initiated the transfer of $80 to Helen's account as we had agreed upon. The transaction went through in the matter of a second, the confirmation message jarringly reminding me of what I had lost.As I placed my phone away, a heavy depression washed over me as the defeat's weight became very heavy to bear on my shoulders.I couldn't stand the idea of playing another game, with my hands feeling leaden and unmoving, as if they also were in mourning. I was only hoping that Adrian would show up soon; his presence would be comforting, it seemed, even now.Just then, Helen's voice cut into my reverie, her tone a gentle intrusion in my mind. "Please, can I get a plate of rice?" I asked, hardly above a whisper, trying to shake off the feeling of despondency that enveloped me.Immediately, Helen got to h

CHAPTER 90

I put a smile on my face, and with a stiffer movement of the lips, I put on an artificial gesture, hoping this would reassure Adrian that I was alright."I'm good, baby," I said, strained between efforts as my teeth were wide open in a toothy grin. But then again, Adrian's eyes did those almost piercing, see-through kind of eyes that saw right into the mask. He was having none of this and looked at me skeptically."You're not happy, baby," he pronounced with finality, soft, and reached for me. "You're pretending to be me."With these words, my face heated from surprise and embarrassment. How did he know? I thought, trying to look on the floor for the answer it must hold. Slumped shoulders caved in and signaled my defeated stature.These were a bundle of emotions that took me to sea-like depths, but his words would serve as some sort of lifeguard that threatened to expose me at an ungainly posture.But Adrian wasn't buying it; he knew me all too well-knew all of my tricks of the trad
