Jared paced from one end of his study table to the other, thinking.

What was it Esmeralda was doing with his card? What was she shopping for? She had spent almost 2billion in just few hours of the morning.

He scrolled through his contacts and saw a name he had saved on it. "Esmeralda".

Without thinking, he dialed it immediately, as beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

The call got forwarded and he had to end it. But it didn't take a few minutes after he did for him to call it again.

No response came and he kept on calling. On the tenth ring the call was finally answered.

"Esmeralda what's the meaning of...."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep calling people's house landlines in such a manner?" A voice had shouted from across the other end of the call, dismissing him before he could finish speaking.

The voice was etched with disdain. A disdain Jared felt even though it was just a call he was answering.

But there was something that put him off. The voice was famil

    "Begin processing the travel documents as soon as possible!" Esmeralda said to Gaius as she stepped out of the boardroom, with him following her closely and fast in order to keep up with her speed. He was still confused about what had just unfolded before him, haven never seen of her before nor heard of her. But he had once suspected that Jared was married, reason he was unaware of his house address, but never would he have thought that the company wasn't his, despite how he paraded himself as if he were the owner. The meeting they were stepping out from wasn't far forgotten by him either.. When the stake holders had stood to honour her presence, Gaius had watched silently, questioning whom she was then and what aura she carried for her presence to cause the grumpy old men to stand on their feet to welcome her. " It's almost a decade heiress, where have you been?" One had asked her while they were still standing. " I always questioned your whereabouts and why you would leave mana

    Esmeralda didn't care for the countless judgemental eyes she got as she walked into the the corporation. She didn't expect any of them to know her. Afterall her marriage to Jared had been a private topic. If not, she would have had issues with them all for not being able to identify the real owner of their company. "Who are you?" A voice asked her on seeing her seated in Jared's office. Esmeralda turned the rotating chair she sat on, facing him. On seeing her, the man had hissed, assuming her as one of the women he kept who was there to cause a scene. "Jared isn't in and he won't be coming today. Just leave. Don't make any scene. How much is it you demanded from him? I'll forward the money to your account" Esmeralda was surprised on hearing him say that, but she was quick to mask her expressions. She had already known much about Jared for her to surprised by any new thing she would get to know about him now. From his demeanour and the way he was trying to tip her off Incase she

    While driving out of the plaza, she saw a store with some clothes outside on display. Looking down at the body hugging dress from the previous day which she still wore, Esmeralda decided that it was time already for her to change her cloth. Especially with where she had in mind to go to at the moment. Alighting from the car, she made a walk towards the store. "Good day ma'am!" One of the workers rushed towards her at the entrance and greeted. "You're welcome! What would you like to order? We have various dresses from Turkey,China and even Vietnam. We have limited edition collections and bags worth every penny you might want to spare. Do you want to check any of them out ma'am?"Esmeralda was drawn back by the warm reception she was receiving. Normally this didn't happen. She knew society. Her dressing wasn't befitting of such a welcome the lady was giving her but instead, she followed her. " I want the most expensive custom suits you have available. Designer collection shoes tha

    It didn't take a few minutes before Esmeralda was done assembling the new cellphone she had just gotten for herself. When it booted, she went on to its internet browser, immediately after the network came on. It seemed funny to her but what else was she to do when this was her first time, since after getting married, that she would be having a cellphone of her own. And not the house landline which Jared usually called from the office from. Giving lists of what he craved and demanding she prepared it. His sister always joined in the disrespect. How weird that she hadn't reacted since all these while believing she was being a good wife by condoning such. There was one reason she had purchased the phone and it were to check one thing on the internet. As she typed away on the search bar, "What is the colour and taste of tequila", a news popped on her screen. She slid it off and continued to type what she wanted to search when the same news popped up again, but this time from a diffe

    Back in the car, Esmeralda was unsure of what she felt. It couldn't be normal and regardless of how much she tried to, she couldn't bring herself to let it slide. Maybe she was overthinking because of her rage but then something odd had been wrong with that drink she was sold. Or if it wasn't the drink, it would have to be her. Last she recalled, tequila was a very strong alcoholic drink. A shot was perfect to get one sober. But she and taken three and didn't even feel drunk one bit. Eyes clear. Her visions perfect, even to the extent that she was ready to drive her car by herself without needing a chauffeur service. Still doubting the possibilities of that happening, coupled with Francis' confession that he owned the bar, who knew if he hadn't instructed his workers before then not to serve her alcohol anymore. She was naive in the world of it, hence she had been unable to tell. But she couldn't shake it off her mind. Starting the car, she drove to a Mart and walked straight to
