Gretchen flinched as she saw Michelle. She didn't want to be caught, at least not now.
"Gretchen" Michelle called. "What happened?" Michelle noticed that Gretchen was shocked to see her.
"What....What do you mean" Gretchen asked, pretending not to know what she was talking about.
"Why were you shocked to see me?" Michelle couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, that. Actually, my boyfriend was just playing pranks on me and he eventually said that I was gonna see a ghost, when I turned I saw you..... In other words, you startled me" Gretchen lied.
She was a fast thinker, so thinking of lies wasn't a problem.
"Really" Michelle scoffed. "Was that the reason you failed to staple the documents you sent to me? Things are not alright in the company and all you could think of is talking to your boyfriend".
"I am sorry, ma'am" Gretchen quickly apologized.
"Go get it done, now! Otherwise you want to be kicke
The anger burning through him was just too much. It wasn't his fault, he thought it was Skylar, not knowing it was Beatrice."I... Am not a slut. Why aren't you blaming yourself? Why putting the blame on me" She couldn't bring herself to yell, she had to mutter those words."Now you are blaming me. I wasn't in my right frame of mind, but you were. Why didn't you stop me, why?" He yelled and Beatrice couldn't give him a reply. "There's only one answer and that's because you are a slut! A fucking slut!".More tears flowed from her eyes. "You wanted it before, right?. You wanted to have sex with me. Now you've gotten what you want, why are you scolding me" Beatrice cleaned her eyes with her hands. "We are married, Brandon, and all married couples have the right to have intimate"."Screw you Beatrice. Screw you!......I can't believe am doing this again" Brandon said and walked out.Beatrice didn't understand the last part
Mia was contemplating on whether to pick or not.Who the hell is Gretchen? And why is she calling cade - Mia was lost in thought that she didn't know when cade walked in, the sound of the glass dropping on the table made her jolt out from her thought."Mia" Cade called, he was putting on a smile - a cute one, like Brandon cade also had dimples."Who's Gretchen?" Mia wanted to say those words out but she stopped herself.Yes! She was jealous, but what if Gretchen was his friend or relative? Or nobody to him?. Because it's a lady's name it doesn't mean its his girlfriend.Mia took the glass of wine from the table and drank all the content down. Cade was surprised, Mia was the type who likes sipping her drink."I know that look, cade" Mia said, smiling."Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded. "How's your boyfriend doing?"."You must be thinking Derrick is my boyfriend but he's not. I turned down his
She couldn't push him off her body, a part of her was enjoying it.Brandon finally stopped kissing her, he smiled and got off her body."Happy new month, sis in-law" Beatrice heard,. she stood up and behold she saw Mia at the door holding a phone.With Mia there Beatrice understood everything - Mia was behind everything, somehow she convinced Brandon to act."Mr Malcolm's daughter, Gerald is launching her hotel today and there's gonna be a party. Here is the card, dad wants both of you to attend it" Mia gave Brandon the card. "Silver gown for ladies and black suit for men" Mia informed."Okay" Beatrice replied, she gave Brandon a stare."I have a new month gift for you" Mia said and Beatrice smiled.Having someone like Mia is so amazing, she even got Beatrice a new month gift.Mia brought out a wrapped item and gave it to Beatrice."Merci beaucop" Beatrice appre
"Three two one..." Brandon immediately stood up and gave the man a hard punch on his face.Considering it was an unexpected attack, the man staggered and the gun fell off his hand.Beatrice quickly picked the gun and put the man on gunpoint. But Brandon was immediately held by one of the goons."Drop the gun now!" The one holding Brandon screamed.Beatrice couldn't think, why didn't Brandon think of this before risking his life."You have 30 seconds, or else both of them would die" He threatened again. "10 seconds remaining" He cocked the gun.Beatrice took a deep breathe, slowly she was about to drop the gun when Brandon yelled her name.He gave her an eye contact not to. Before Beatrice could fathom what Brandon was saying, he used his elbow to hit the face of the man holding him and then they both dragged for the gun.An idea came to Beatrice, she cocked the g
The reporters wondered why she was smiling."I don't know how I should be feeling. I feel bad and at the other hand I feel good - I feel bad because I killed someone, and I feel good because I saved my husband. What I did I did for self defense, anyone in my shoes would have done same" Beatrice stated. "There's this music, one day we would all leave this world behind so live a life you will remember. At least I saved my husband, I have a good memory to remember. I love my family so much, if you are seeing this now Michelle, I love you bestie. Thank you" She concluded and signaled the bodyguards to clear the reporters off her part."Why does it sound like a goodbye, Ma......... What is gonna happen when you don't make it out of trial" Different questions were heard, but Beatrice ignored and entered the car with Brandon.******"What was that for?" Brandon asked immediately the car took off."And why on earth didn't you tell me about the trial!" Be
Brandon walked to the room, holding a tray of food. He tried opening the door but it was locked."Why is my door locked .... Oh, I have forgotten I have a crazy lady as a wife , she's probably dressing by now and that's why she locked the door" He muttered and stood, waiting for Beatrice.Knock! He knocked but the door wasn't opened."Beatrice!" He repeatedly called but no reply.A maid was walking by, so Brandon called her."Take this and keep it on the dining table" He told her.He brought out his phone and dialed Beatrice's number. He could hear the phone ring but Beatrice wasn't picking up."I wonder what is wrong with her" Brandon thought. He took a deep breathe and suddenly kicked the door openedSeeing Beatrice on the floor made Brandon to chuckle."Seriously, do you think this is the right time to play such pranks on me? I see, so because of how I pranked you the ot
Gretchen furrowed her brows as she stared keenly at the TV. She had just returned from work and decided to watch some news."Who could be responsible? Is it her?... No, why didn't she tell me to do the job" She brought out her phone and dialed a number."Bonsoir......" She was disrupted by her secret boss's voice."English please"."Sorry ma'am. You sent someone else to do the job" Gretchen said, trying as much not to sound angry."I know exactly what you are pointing at. I didn't do it... You are my best soldier Gretchen, why do you think I would ignore you and give order to someone else. Find out the culprit and tell me about it".The call went disconnected immediately."Who sent those men to the hotel?" Gretchen wondered as she walked to were how laptop was.THREE MONTHS LATERBrandon just kept staring at Beatrice who was sleeping.Yes! She had been sleeping for three month
Beatrice stared at him, she didn't know what was on his mind."Take your calls" Brandon muttered, the person wasn't picking."What are you doing?" She asked him."Prooving to you that I love you" He said and Beatrice chuckled."Well, I just woke up. It's not needed, all I need right now is some spaghetti, some ice cream, some chocolates and some ... " She was counting her finger when saying those words, but then she stopped when she noticed the bracelet tied around her wrist. "Who... You?" She asked and Brandon nodded."We have a lot to talk about, but first I wanna ask you this question.....Why did you take the poison?" He asked and Beatrice sighed."At night, I wasn't able to sleep and that was because I kept seeing him. That day at the police station, I saw his files, his family... That little girl won't get to see her dad again, I felt guilty, I couldn't live with the guilt. And also you act grumpy and am left alone, it was a
