I got out of my bed wondering what it was as Brianna’s line quickly cut off, probably due to bad connections but it was surely bad timing. My head kept pondering if it was a good thing or a bad thing.No matter how I try to think positively, I end up with negative thoughts.I received another call but this time from my very own mother, not much needs to be said, this was a bad thing. My mum will never call me unless something horrible has occurred, likewise my father, I couldn’t pick up, so I left it to ring.Michael was to travel today and was staying at our hotel. I wonder if he has left already.I finally summoned up the courage to check out everything that got people constantly calling me.It was bizarre.“The Thatcher Family under crisis as the perfect family that is much to the envy of others faces criticism following an intel about the family dark foundation of which it is laid upon,” I read out, I scrolled through the trendy topic of today and my family dominated top five of t
The next couple of days were filled with so much stress that I tried reaching out to Daniella to debunk the rumor while following Michael to attend all of our media houses for an interview, doing my best to convince the world that we were indeed in a good situation and that all of these were just lies.It was easier to defend these lies because the evidence flying around was blurred, if they were brave enough why didn’t they show my husband's face? I laid down this question at each interview we went and everyone seemed to applaud us.At the end of the day, everything did turn out well, this incident gave publicity to my husband’s campaign, good or bad, publicity is publicity.I received a phone call on the day of my last interview, which we were going to do with my kids. I felt apologetic that I had to drag them along.The interviewer started, “How do you feel now that the account who has shared the false information has come out to apologize?”I was surprised at this as I looked in M
Time went by as it came; everything had gotten better now that we were vindicated. I had gotten a lot better, but I felt myself change. I became overly protective, having my eyes and ears on every business that concerned Michael and my kids. One has to be wary of any attack.Louisa came to visit today, and it is clear why.She was still hooked on me doing a favor for her son by allowing Leo to tutor him; at least she was patient enough to wait this long after I had pushed our meeting several times.Her son Rocky was with her, and they both sat in the living room, waiting for me to join them. As I headed in their direction, Seth had walked into the house, and I began having flashbacks about the hurtful things I said to him a week ago. I have been so busy that I rarely needed him, and with Michael forcing this joint family thing down my throat, Seth wasn’t that useful.“S—” I felt my lips move, wanting to call him back, but I stopped myself from doing so. I didn’t regret the things I sa
“You seem to hate not having to smoke, even though I have warned you not to." I walked directly to Seth's position. I had been in my room ever since watching him, and since I lacked anything worth doing, I decided, Why don’t I go confront him? It might be fun, and he might have also forgotten the way I had treated him.Seth calmly greeted me the moment he saw me approaching him. “Sorry, ma'am, I couldn’t help myself,” he said, puffing the cigar in front of me even as I was only just playing around; I mean, he wouldn’t have known that.I was shocked at his sudden change in demeanor. He made sure to keep a safe distance and offered the respect that I asked for.I should make amends; I don’t entirely dislike him. If for anything, he is the only driver I have had who has been able to withstand me and my tantrums. Others would have just taken their bags and left, but he stayed, which is quite remarkable.Or maybe I shouldn't... It is best if he continues to treat me as superior.Seth turne
“What do you mean by resignation?” I slowly eyed the envelope. I turned away from him, opening the car to take out my bag before I closed it, hanging the bag over my shoulders.Seth still had it facing me, and he didn’t seem to want to take it back.Isn’t this what I wanted? To finally have him gone, but then again, I never said it should come this easy. I hate when I get what I want so easily.Seth sighed before saying, “I don’t think I can work for you anymore; I have—”“That—” I interrupted him as we both paused. I thought he was going to go ahead and speak, but he waited for me to continue. “No, I am sorry; go ahead; you were saying..."“I was just..." Seth stopped again. Was he nervous? I don’t think he is. It was sort of like he wanted to get this done, but I wasn’t giving him a chance to. “I wanted to say that I have spoken to Mr. Michaels, and he said, "I interrupted him again. “You have spoken to my husband? When?” My forehead furrowed, sounding surprised, not knowing he had
I went after Seth, ensuring not to cause a scene in front of everyone until he was about to get into his room. I was losing my mind and yet still didn’t care; everything in my life recently has had me insane.“Why are you quitting?"Is it because of the nasty things that I have said to you?” I promptly asked him, and he did listen to my voice as he stopped in his tracks. For a while, I thought he would at least turn, but he didn’t. He simply walked away.Oh God, what am I about to do?"Who is going to drive me? I can't drive." Surprisingly, my question managed to get his attention.“You have two other drivers; don’t worry, you will be fine,” Seth reassured.“Every single one of them is busy, every... David isn’t available because he followed Michael; Ralph is under the weather, and clearly I can’t force him to work; I am just left with you. I am also sure Michael doesn’t know this, which is why he wanted me to process your erm. Whatever you just made me do,” I closed my eyes, feeling f
“What is it?” I exhaled out, seeming uninterested, expecting that whatever she might say was possibly just one of her random gossips, and though it does rile me up sometimes, I wasn’t in the mood for it.“I just heard Melissa is having an affair; can you believe that?” Brianna revealed as my jaw dropped, utterly shocked and somewhat interested now, until something else caught my attention.Seth is seriously leaving?“Scarlett, are you with me?” Brianna tried to bring my attention back to our conversation: “You would think that Melissa would give a damn given that you and Michael had the same issue; thank God it all turned out to be false; people will stoop so low as to get a reaction."“Mhm…” “Brianna I will be heading to your place tomorrow; we can discuss all about this then."I tried to end the conversation as soon as possible, but she still wanted to keep going.“I guess I will be seeing your sexy driver tomorrow then,” Brianna said estactically.I scrunched my nose up, glaring
“No way, no way; I don’t believe it, and her husband allows it." My mouth opened wide at this revelation. I was eager to hear more, and I know Brianna was too.“Of course he is also in on it. As you are now, my mouth was also opened wide when I first found out,” Brianna said after getting up from her seat. “Would you like to have anything? Water, tea, coffee…”"No, please, I am not here for that. Have your seat back; we still have a whole lot to discuss and are just getting started.” I politely refused. I know she doesn’t have a lot, so I needed to save myself the trouble of listening to her go on about how she lacks one or two things to offer.Brianna sat down as she continued, “If we were to look at it, I think we should call it a kink, because there is no other explanation than this."“At least it better be right; you almost had me when you said she was having an affair; if the husband is in on it, then I don’t think it is; any way, continue." I tried to clear out the mistake she m
