Michael's eyes were shut as he waited for the result of her decision. Frankly, he could not predict her action right now, and he didn't even want to do that.
"Kill me now, Zee." He urged her without opening his eyes.
Zee still had the gun pointing at his chest. Her mind was a whirlwind. A heavy feeling of dejection had overcome her system. It told her that love conquered all. Still, her finger went for the trigger and touched it. She knew that they could both hear the cock of the gun. She noticed no tension from Michael. What a Don, she thought. Then she pulled the trigger, releasing a couple of bullets as her shots were fired.

Michael slowly opened his eyes and saw her. Zee had her back to him. She had turned and taken the s

In Michael's absence, Zee didn't go searching for a job. She found that now she had the freedom of doing so, the drive was not as strong as it had been. Admittedly, most of her actions were borne out of rebellion. When Michael called and inquired if she had started searching, she said she was taking her time. He had just laughed it off and wished her well. Zee was bored out of her mind by the second day, so she decided to travel back to her home state. She didn't tell Michael. They were both good now, so she didn't see the point. She had gone by road, driving there on a whim after shopping for bedroom groceries in their bedroom. When she was back home, she called Glory and informed him that she was back in the state, saying Michael asked her to pick up something from a client. She told the same lie to her parents

"Hey, Darling." Michael's deep voice filled the phone. "Hi." Zee forced a smile. "How are you?" "Fine, thanks. You?" "Great. Thanks," she responded. "Where are you right now?" "I’m in the bedroom." "I see that you're about to go to bed." "Yes, Sexy Guy." Zee decided to flirt in order to lighten her fear. "Hmm. I see someone is boldly flirting on the phone." "Only with you, Sir." "I prefer it that way." "It's part of the rules." She said teasingly. *** LEMUEL AND INARA'S PHONE CALL "Hi, Baby Girl, how are you?" Lemuel's voice came through the phone, warm and deep. "Fine. Thanks." "Where are you?" "Bedroom." "Which one?" Inara paused in confusion. "Which one?" "It could be the guest bedroom? We both know that you like to sleep there sometimes." "Oh, yeah that's true, but I am

MOMENTS BEFORE THE PHONE CALLS It was evening and hours after the successful shooting of Lemuel's Orchard Mist Advert, Starring Michael. Sitting down over a drink at the luxury hotel restaurant they were lodged at, Lemuel and Michael were watching a clip from the ad. They had their eyes glued to a tab withstand on the table they were occupying. In the video, he was in a dark suit inside a red luxury car. He pulled up before an exotic movie theater, sprayed on the orchard mist perfume, and stepped out of the car, a small smile on his lips. His amber eyes were alluring. A group of people, around ten in number, who were around outside the building, turned in his direction in admiration. Michael paused the video. "At this point, there will be some visible aroma digitally done so when they start inhaling the sweet scent and running over to you..." Lemuel tapped the play button and the people began inhali

"Must we stay outside to welcome them?" Inara asked. "Can't we just stay indoors?" "We could, but there is no point. Each time my husband is back from travel, I have to welcome him out here. He prefers it that way." "Oh my God, that's my mum and dad for you." "I know." "Well, we can just pretend not to know that they are back," Inara suggested. "You're right." Zee agreed. "Let's go back inside." They held hands and headed towards the entrance of the house. They had barely taken more than five steps when Zee's phone started ringing with Michael's ringtone. She paused with a sigh, making Inara pause alongside her. "What is it?" Inar

As Inara whipped past her, a wave of regret hit Zee over trying to blame her. She hadn't meant to. She had been driven by fear, knowing that Michael would punish her, but might be lenient if he believed that the whole thing wasn't her idea. Michael's leniency was barely bearable, so she had to protect herself by thinking of herself first. Zee hastened her steps so that she would try and catch up with Inara. She managed to reach a foot behind Inara by the time they closed in on the stairs. "Inara." She called, hoping to make her pause, so she could render a quick apology. "Leave me alone!" Was Inara's response as she ran up the stairs and she didn't stop until she was inside the guest bedroom. Zee was just reaching the door of the guest bedroom when Inara slammed it shut. "I'm sorry." She still apologized. "Tell that to the guys," Inara said tearfully and dismissively. "They don't care about whose idea it wa

"Close the door, baby girl." He said and she became aware that she had been frozen in place. Swallowing hard, she shut the door but remained standing just inside the door. She made no move to step forward. "Looks like your friend is getting her comeuppance pretty fast. Aren't you lucky?" "I..." "Shhh." He said, one finger swiftly crossing his lips to emphasize his command, so she fell silent. "Now, by your judgment, is this grander?" It took her a few seconds to realize that he was talking about the room. Her emotions were all over the place, due to her fear. Her fear was even more intensified by what was currently happening to Zee in the bedroom. Michael was not playing. She could hear the belt rising and falling, Zee pleading. Shivers danced over her spine. She nodded in response to Lemuel's question. She could not find her voice. "Mr.Ray says, this room is for whenever they have government officials as guests, you kn

The next day, Zee and Inara managed to settle their differences as Inara finally forgave Zee. Michael had convinced Lemuel to stay, and so they all hung out on the evening of the following day after their punishments. Lilly had brought breakfast for everyone in bed but Zee had made lunch, which everyone had, with Lemuel teasing Zee about being a good cook. He and Michael acted as though they had not just spanked the hell out of their respective wives. Both men were friendly and attentive. But Inara remained cold to Zee. Zee, for fear of embarrassment, refused to talk to Inara over the table, while the men chatted away. That evening, during dinner, the men left the table with glasses of cocktails in their hands. Zee was going to follow Michael, but he told her to stay back and do

The last thing Zee expected as she lay cuddled in Michael's arms, was the beep of an SMS alert. Stretching her hand to the head of the pillow, she retrieved her phone and saw that the message was from Cassy. "Who's that?" Michael asked drowsily before she could open the message. "Random network Advert message." She responded, placing the phone against her chest to hide the screen because he was spooning her and could easily view the phone if she wasn't careful. "Okay, please put it on silence. That volume was quite high. You know I don't like my sleep disturbed and I have a long day tomorrow." "Okay, sorry." She said and silenced the phone. She was so curious about the content that she couldn't sleep at once even with Michael's calm breath behind her. She pulled up the phone and pretended to play a mobile game, hoping to sneak read the content. "What are you doing?" Michael asked. "Playing a game." "It's late, baby, you
