He pushed the door open and saw another woman, looking almost like Cynthia arguing with her. Same stature, just a little bit taller and fairer. They both looked like clowns, they were still bickering with each other. Their makeup was still smeared all over their faces.“Oh Cara,” he muttered, laughing inwardly. He was definitely having a good laugh already.Both women had not noticed his presence, their hairs were cut in irregular shape and he could tell the other woman was bitter about it. Cynthia had enough, more than enough to get whatever wigs she wanted. Weirdly as it may seem, he still had her on a monthly allowance.“You ladies are fine?” He wore a mocking smile on his face as they turned gradually to face him.“Oh great, look who it is. You decided to come here after a while,” Cynthia's voice reeked of sarcasm. “I guess the bitch had run her mouth to you and that had you running here immediately.”He found his way to a place in the room, laughing. “I see you don't learn Cynth
“Thank you so much for the ride, I'm truly grateful,” she searched through her purse for a hundred dollar bill. “It's okay madam, you can just go,” the driver blushed. “You don't know what it means to carry the only heir of Sir McQueen.”“Oh that's so nice of you,” she cooed, thinking of ways to repay his kindness. An idea quickly struck her head. “Give me your business card, so I could call you in case I have a bigger project.”“Thank you so much ma'am,” he dipped his hand into his jacket and produced a card for her.She reached for it and kept it in her bag as she dropped. She waved till the driver was out of sight.“Phew,” she sighed. “That wasn't what I expected.”The smaller gate was left open, Cara wondered where Amber would have gone. But then she noticed a different car parked beside the house. Her fear rose, was Amber and her child in danger? She locked the gate and hastened her steps but reduced it when she saw Mason sitting outside and helping himself to a glass of orange
Still humiliated by how Jason treated her in front of Stacey, she vowed to have her revenge on him. That is to continue to have an affair with his father, get him to overwrite his will if he has any and then take full control of his business.She was aware of how sufficient Jason was, he most probably wasn't going to be affected by not having a share in his father's will. But at the same time, there was nothing bad about having more than enough.She got up and walked into the bathroom almost immediately. As the water flowed freely to every part of her naked body, her mind traveled to the days where Adrian was behind all her irresponsible behavior.Now she was all alone and she could boldly say it was her sole handiwork now.She was as jobless as anything. Living off the allowance placed on her by Jason is 10x better than having a job and now she would do anything to make sure she never works a single job again in her life.She selected a body fitted red armless gown, stopping just abo
The rain kept beating the wooden cover of the casket. Jason loosened his hair and let it fall all over his face, standing akimbo. Cara, Mason and the rest stood under an umbrella. She tried to cajole her husband to come under but he wouldn't bulge. His hard stare wouldn't leave his father's coffin.A call at work the week before announced to him that his father had passed away in his office. Traces of sleeping pills could be found in his bloodstream.Whoever murdered his father was still walking free.The screeching of a taxi car got their attention, Cynthia dropped from the car, dressed in a black fitted gown and a large hat. Her heels matched her outfit and he wondered if she was truly coming to a funeral or if she would hit the bar after this location.She opened her umbrella and joined the rest where the priest was giving a sermon.He kept watching her steps, trying to see if he would find anything incriminating. Dismissing it, he believed that he was just overthinking things.“Ma
Jackson's lawyer sat in the living room with them, he held a couple of documents with him, waiting for the rest of the occupants to show up.Jason sat with his wife while Mason sat on his father's lap.“Who else are we waiting for daddy?”“Uhmmm,” he didn't know the appropriate title to give Cynthia. “Just a person affiliated with the family, that's all.”“They need to hurry up, punctuality is something we are being taught at school.”“Don't–”Cara cut in quickly. “I'm pretty sure they must be caught up in traffic. She'll be here soon.”She gave her husband the nastiest look ever, Jason looked away, hiding his face to the other side.Few minutes later, Cynthia walked in majestically like she owned the entire place. She kept chewing her gum noisily. “I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting, something held me up.”Cara rubbed her son's hand. “See, I told you, something caused her to be late.”The lawyer adjusted his glasses and sat up straight. “Shall we begin?”“Yes please,” Jason answe
Cara stood in front of the hotel room, holding her phone in her face. She stared at the text message.'Want to know where your so-called fiance is? You might wanna check Emerald Hotel, room 350.'She had bribed the attendant at the reception, pleading with her just to go in.Now she stood in front of the room, her makeover smeared her face and the tears poured more than before. She could hear his moans and grunts from where she stood.She summoned her entire strength and pushed the door open. The naked sight of Nathan in bed with another woman irked her."You forgot to lock the door," she finally found her voice after so long.Nathan rushed to put some clothes on his body, the woman's face he was laying with came into view."What the fuck Sandra? How dare you?" Her tears poured as she charged towards her.Nathan grabbed her and threw her back before she could get to her. He pushed her to the couch."Don't you dare Cara. I won't hesitate to beat you up if you touch one single hair on h
Nathan walked into the tall building of GLAMFORT ENTERPRISE in his neatly ironed brown suit. His black shoes made gentle noises as he entered the elevator, the personal elevator for the CEO. The elevator dinged and he approached the door. He opened the door and met Cara on the seat."What are you doing here bitch?" He questioned. "Have you forgotten you handed everything over to me?""I'd choose my words carefully if I were you Nathan," she said, going through the files on the table."You want me to call the security on you? They won't care if this is your father's company. They listen to the CEO now."She stopped what she was doing and looked at him. She crossed her legs and relaxed in her seat."Please, go ahead."He said between gritted teeths. "What are you playing at?""You are fired from today henceforth. All your bank accounts have been frozen, you no longer have access to this company again."He walked around and gave a long laugh. She wore a gentle smile and followed him wit
"Congratulations ma'am, you are pregnant," the doctor said. "Pregnant how? I've not been intimate with anyone ever since my last fiancè.""It's 3 months pregnant, I'm surprised how you had no idea that you were pregnant.""Perhaps you are giving me the wrong result. Can you please check again?""If you wish," the doctor said.She sat in her car for as long as she could remember. Nothing was coming to her, no memory of the tiniest bit was coming to her.She drove home and met Jason in a heated argument with a different lady."You better take that pregnancy elsewhere. You know my status, that's why you are trying to pin it on me right?""What's going on here, Jason?" She asked."Not now Cara, leave.""I'm just trying to..""I said get out from here. Leave," he shouted at her before she could complete her statement.She grabbed her bag and rushed to her room with tears forming gradually in her eyes.The past few months, she had watched the jovial Jason go back to the rude Jason she alwa
