Chapter 1

Diane dialed a number on her phone again for the fifth time in the last ten minute.

She has been trying to reach Michael since morning but all to no avail, he left the office in a rush leaving her with loads of work.

They have been working side by side before they started dating.

She was his solicitor but now her work has included being his personal assistant, business advisor and a lot more.

She likes her work and she doesn't joke with it, that is why she is at her wit's end right now.

"Miss Diane, these are the documents from Mr Ezekiel". The secretary came in with another pile of work.

Increasing her work load.

" Okay, drop it on my desk. I will check it when I get back".Diane said to the woman before hurrying out of the office.

Her anger is slowly turning into fear, what if something was wrong with him?. What if he has been in an accident?. 

Series of questions roamed her mind as she was thinking of random possibilities.

She drove the car out of the company, and sped her way through the highway.

The car was at an insane speed.

She was restless and could barely recognise anything wrong with her driving.

Not more than fifteen minutes later she packed the car in front of their home, and walked inside in her frenzy manner.

Some of the maids around the house moved out of the way for her, because she was a sight to behold.

Some cower in fear as if she was coming at them but unknown to them she barely register their presence.

Her strong instinct had told Diane her boyfriend was at home.

She opened the door to their bedroom and found nothing before making her way down to the study.

Without ceremony she threw the door open ready to nag at Michael.

But no word could come out of her mouth.

Her mouth hung open as she stared  with wide eyes at Micheal.

He was sitting with a woman on his lap, the upper part of her body  was stark naked and they were so engulfed in the act that they could not detect her presence, until Michael glanced up and they scrambled apart.

"What the hell is going on here?" Diane asked, the feeling of total disappointment stifling her heart.

She could barely hear a thing, as she felt the world spin around her in a mocking manner.

"Micheal I'm asking you, what the fuck is happening here?" Diane asked again, yelling this time.

Her anger overpowering her pain, the man she loved with all her heart in arms of another was unacceptable.

While Diane was battling with the turbulence of emotions, Michael ushered the person he was with out of the room.

"How dare you?" Diane voiced out above the startling pain of her shattering heart.

She looked straight in his eyes searching for a reason for the betrayal.

Whatever it might be, but she could not find any.

"I'm sorry" Micheal's low voice came a few seconds later.

He sounded remorseful but he looked far from it.

"I didn't mean to, I got carried away" He continued in the same breath.

"Are you fucking kidding me?, you left work almost five hours ago. No message or reason for it, you left me with tons of work and no explanation. Just so you could come home for this?

Diane's emotions were way out of the roof, she was oblivious on how to caution herself and just decided to let everything out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" Michael said again louder this time.

"Sorry can't change anything, you did  this because this relationship means nothing to you" Diane continued  ranting. He had been acting suspicious recently but chose to ignore it, she was foolish.

Her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears, she is never an emotionally vulnerable person but what just happened came as a big shock to her.

She turned around on her heels and made for the door,  she was exhausted.

"Wait!" Micheal pulled her back by the arm and she wriggled  from his touch, his touch made her feel disgusted.

She couldn't get free, with an extra force Micheal pulled her back toward him and she fell to the floor with  force.

"I said I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional" Michael's loud voice sounded so strange to Diane's ear.

She stares at him like a stranger, he is a lot different. And she blamed that on herself, she had been ignoring the little changes over the past few weeks.

She picked herself painfully from the ground, she had fallen really hard. He had shoved her to the ground unexpectedly.

She quietly left the room and he made no effort to stop her again.

She felt empty, she felt disintegrated, she felt exhausted.

She absentmindedly opened the door to the car that brought her home earlier but she immediately changed her mind from using it again.

She made a call for a rental car but stopped when she heard someone walking towards her.

Upon setting her eyes on the person she felt angered again, she felt the need to slap the smugness off her disgusting face.

But she calmed herself down, she had used a lot of her emotions today it was time to act like a robot.

She stops short of a few steps from her gloating.

"I wonder what Micheal saw in your ugly ass buried in that ugly pantsuit of yours, anyways as you know he is now mine so buzz off" The woman snorted after making series of displeasing faces at her but Diane held onto her initial decision of not showing any emotions despite the strong need to tear the other woman apart.

After realizing that she wasn't going to get a reaction out of Diane, the shameless woman walked away feeling on top of the world.
