Chapter 9: Vengeance Screams Louder. Lisa hesitated in picking the call, wanting to ignore it because his voice is the last thing she wants to hear at the moment.But then changed her mind to hear the rubbish he has to spew. She picked the call, “Hello,” she forced the word out of her mouth, coming out unfriendly. “You never told me Callan was the man.” A solemn voice dimmed from the phone, the sound tipping Lisa off a small edge. Seems like their separation is taking a toll on Kurt already, but then her mind referred back to his statement. She never told him Callan was the man. Who is Callan? What does it have to do with their situation? What about him is he talking about?“What are you talking about?” She quested for illumination, her brows knitting in confusion. “Don’t play dumb, Lisa. I know everything now, your secret affair with Callan Myers, I know even he’s the owner of your child. I just don’t get the reason why you never told me and rather allow me fall in love with yo
Chapter 10: Contacting His Nemesis. Lisa’s mind relish her moment on phone with Kurt, his bitter words chanting beneath her ears. A litany. Animating her as she mapped upon the veneers of her heart her intended plans for Kurt. He had accused her of an affair with Callan Myers, she might as well launch her revenge from him. A smirk edged her lips at the thought of that, knowing very well who Callan Myers is. The man topping the list of those blacklisted CEOs of Atlanta, he was canceled due to a scandal leaked by no one else other than Kurt, his rival to tame and destroy his nemesis forever. They’ve been at it for quite a long time, ever since Kurt dredged a secret kept by Callan. The secret gaining awareness of Kurt’s knowledge slammed an axe into his bond with Callan. Both were best friends, best of friends, and overnight became enemies. Caught up in the city’s hustle and bustle playing a game of cat and mouse, that was until Kurt grasped a good hold of him and put him down. Ca
Chapter 11: Someone’s A Mess. He sat by the executive chair, slouched down with a bottle half-filled with alcohol hanging down his left hold, while the second slammed his phone into his chest. He had just gotten off the phone with his now Ex Wife, she wouldn’t listen to him, wouldn’t believe him, and worst of all- was cheating on him with someone she’s very sure, he despised with all that runs through his body. That had his heart shattering more than it was before when Lisa demanded a separation. He dragged the bottle of whiskey, pulling it up to his mouth for a heavy gulp when his eyes closed and a tear slid out without consent, rolling down his cheeks as he graced the surface with his palm; cleaning off the particle displaying his emotional state. Kurt placed the bottle he was holding down, deciding it was time to sober up and move on with his life. He has a company to run, and millions of dollars to earn. But the harsh thought of him doing it without the picture of his wife s
Chapter 12: Visiting Callan Myers. Lisa had just finish her meal, she was clearing the tray when her door pushed open, she glanced up to see Leonard slipping through. “Yeah I should learn the habit of knocking.” He reprimanded softly, referencing to himself before coming in fully. Lisa casted an offensive glance, returning her attention to packing up. “Thanks for the hospitality.” Her voice penetrated the awful silence, sliding off her bed as she slipped back into her shoes. “Incase you need to change, I have some wears in that closet. They’re not for females, but would do for a casual appearance at home. You can freshen up and get more comfortable.” He indicated to his statement, hands pointing out in two direction, one at the door of the bathroom and the other at the closet. “Thank-“ her phone pinged, snatching her attention away from Leo. Her head fell to look into her phone, seeing it was a text from Steve. He was done digging and sent to her all the acquired details about h
Chapter 13: A Devilish Deal. At the verge of stepping into the house, Callan extend his arm into blocking Lisa’s body from coming in fully. “Exactly why should I trust the words coming from the wife of my nemesis?” He grilled, eyeing Lisa suspiciously with his brows furrowed. “Correction, Ex Wife because he cheated on me and we’re divorced.” Lisa answered, damn sure her response would yield him to succumb. He scoffed, not totally convinced. “Okay.” He pulled back his arm, letting her come in. “Just know, if this another scheme from you and your husband to destroy my already destroyed life. I’m not gonna let this go and will simply kill the both of you.” He sentenced his threat with seriousness, slamming his door close as he followed Lisa from behind, leading the both of them to his living room. “That is far off the reason why I’m here, and you should wait for some days. News are going to pick it sooner or later that I divorce Kurt Briggs.” She guaranteed her motive, taking a seat
Chapter 14: The Lie Is A Lie. She watched with anger, laced with an expression founded on hatred, watching him stood up. Her fury clouding how handsome he appeared to be, a different look to his usual clean and elegant appearance, he was all messy and disturbed. He looked up to her face, eyes capturing her glaring gaze as he stood up from where he sat, taking a step closer to her before Lisa raised up her index warningly. “Don’t you dare come any closer!” She cautioned, danger warming through her eyes. “And let me better assume you brought the divorce papers yourself, hand it over and see yourself out.” She addressed in a arid tone, her pointed finger pointing at the door to reference the last part of her statement. Kurt sighed halting on his steps, “I’m sorry but I won’t be divorcing you, Lisa.” He responded simply, sliding both of displayed palms into his pocket as he thinned his lips. “And I’m taking you back home.” He added, nodding his head to agree with his own statement. Li
Chapter 15: He Wants A Visit, Then He Gets It. Kurt wouldn’t believed his ears, Lisa sounded serious, ending her speech as she stalked upstairs, fading out of sight. He remained on the spot, lips parted, trying to convince himself that there’s still hope for him and her. He shouldn’t have lashed out on her said brother, he just couldn’t help it. At this point, he was a mess, a spiraling mess. All he wanted was just his wife, to be back in his arms, on his bed, sleeping with him, massaging his shoulders while he works from home. “I literally was going to help you with her, but my face went against with that decision.” Leo said as he struggled with getting up on his feet, groans falling out his mouth as he managed to move up fully. Kurt glanced at him, the look of regret still lingering over his expression. Perhaps he should have been patient, but if he hadn’t resort to violence. No one was going to tell him who he was to his wife, he had to know one way or the other. And with hi
Chapter 16: Physical Confrontation. Kurt arrived at the location sent to him in no time, parking his car in a safe distance as he strode on foot to the small building sitting amid the acres of field. He got to his porch, placing a knock on his door. “Yes?” His voice boomed from inside, followed by footsteps walking down and closer to the door. The door opened not long to reveal his face.The moment Kurt’s eyes settled on him, he grabbed him by his neck, shoving him deeper back into his house as he entered with him. “What are you doing messing with my wife? Huh?” Rage rushed through his veins, fueling his muscles as he pressed his hand harder on his neck, grooves lining up his forehead. Callan slapped on his hand, coughing out vigorously as he found his respiration restricted and Kurt’s attack unexpected. “What— what— are— you doing?” Within a struggling breaths, he managed to ask.“What the heck are you doing with my wife?” Kurt thundered once more, repeating himself and this ti
