I got home after a while, I rested a little bit then took a shower while preparing to call Liam, I heard a knock on my door"Who is it?" I asked while listening on the door“It's Benny" She replied, Benny the P.I I said to myself before I went over to open the door"What are you doing here?" I asked her“Can I come in?" She requested"I don't want you in my house" I replied her while still standing in her way and blocking the entrance to my apartment“Please, I...am just trying to help" She said to me“Why?" I asked her suspicious“Because I don't think this is your fault, it's his and that son of a bitch should pay, please, just let me come in let us figure this out" She explained and I thought about it or a second "Come on in" I said to her and moved out of the way for her to come in“This place is really nice" She commented while looking around"Thank you' I said to her "I'll be selling it soon" I added"Oh, am sorry about that" She said"What's she saying?" I asked her so that sh
After they left my apartment. I picked up my phone and dialed Ana’s number “Hey girl, how are you doing?” she said once just picked up but I didn’t respond “Hey, Mia, are you there? What happened? Did you meet up with him? What did he say?” she asked worried“i…don’t…” was all I could muster up before I went silent again“Girl, you have to talk to me okay”“Can you come over?” I asked her“Of course I will come over” she replied and I was grateful for her answer “then we talk, right?” she added“Then, we talk” I repeated“Alright, I will head over the minute I finish up from here” she said “Yeah, pack a bag” I said which was a way of letting her know she will be spending the night over“Okay, then I have to go home before coming out okay?” she said “Okay” I replied“Alright, see you soon, bye” she said“Bye” I replied before ending the callI went over to the bathroom and took a cold shower, then climbed up my bed and wrapped myself in and sobbed, I have been holding in the tears
After he left I laid down and cried some more then slept off from there. After what seems like an hour, my phone rang and woke me, I picked it up to know who was calling and it was the private investigator, I signed and dropped my phone, after like two minutes it rang again, I picked it up without looking a the caller ID this time “Leave me the fuck alone!” I screamed“Geez Mia, it’s me, Ana your best friend” Ana said from the other side of the call“Oh sorry, I thought you were someone else” I apologized“Okay but what is wrong, I just called to check up on you” she said“He came here and got me a riled up” I explained“Who? Liam?” she asked“Yea coming here to tell me to choose him over my life and career and…and accusing me of not loving him because I would tell him to stay” I explained“Oh no, he crossed the line this time, am coming over so we can talk okay?” she said“Wait for me okay? I won’t be long” she added“Alright, am waiting” I said before ending the callI went to the
After much crying and deliberation, Ana made sure I had stopped crying before she prepared something for me to eat, which i took and slept off not long after. I was asleep when she returned to work as her assistant has been calling her that a client has been waiting for her. Ana kissed me on my forehead then I felt her cover me with a piece of blanket, I opened my eyes and raised my head up.“Are you leaving so already?” I asked Ana with a sleepy tone“Sorry I have to go now, I have a client waiting for me at the salon but i will be back as soon as i can” She replied“Alright I understand, go on and be safe okay” I said to her while she picked up her bag and keys and exitedI went back to sleep as soon as she shut the door, I needed the rest anyways, it has been a rough couple of daysAna’s POVRushing back to my saloon after leaving Mia’s house and my phone kept ringing and distracting me from the road which is very irritating, does she have to call every two minutes?“I’m on my way
"Hey girl, don't do anything rash, just put down the gun and we can talk this out" Rose my assistant said with her hands up but Ken's ex-wife just pointed the gun at her instead. "Shut up!" she yelled"Okay, okay, am sorry" Rose apologized "You" she said turning the gun again to me and I shivered "I don't want to hurt you, I just need you to stop seeing my husband" she said to me"I promise you, am not seeing your husband, if anything, he is the one that keep showing up. I don't want anything to do with any of this, if you want your husband, you can have him so please put down the gun, you don't want to do this" I replied as calm as I could, even though i tried hard for my voice to be steady and to not give me away, it still sounded shaky"Tell him to come back to me, apparently he listens to you" she said still pointing the gun at me. I was so scared that I was sweating all over and my legs were shaking if not my whole body, I mean I like the man but am not dying for him"Can you p
“I never lied to you, I never did” He turned and said to me while looking into my eyes“I know” I replied, nodding my head“I wish I could take this all back, but I can't so-” He dropped his hands slowly as he said this to me“I know you can’t say anything, I don’t even know what the fuck am saying but I mean it, I will give her anything she wants as long as I can have you” He said but I just sat there looking at him and thinking, If only I can see through him, I would know if he meant what he just said. If only.“She’s going to sue me for it and have me disbarred” I said to him softly“What can I do to stop her?” He asked and I was silent just looking into his eyes“What can I do to help?” He asked again but I kept my silent“I would go back to her like you wanted me to, I would do that” He suggested and I just nodded my head in agreement“Thank you” I said to him feeling that's something we both can agree on considering the circumstances“But I won’t be able to see you anymore” He a
I picked up the phone and answered the call“It’s Ana’s assistant, Rose” I said to Clara who’s with me after hearing the voice of the person I was speaking to. I could hear her voice shaking as she narrated an incident in Ana’s salon, that a woman attacked and shot at Ana inside the salon.“What? Is she okay?” I asked over the phone and Clara looked at me surprised“We are at the hospital” Rose said “The one closest to the salon” She added"What about the shooter?" I asked"We called the police and they took her away" she replied“Alright, I will be coming over now” I said to her before ending the call“She said some woman shot at Ana’s in her saloon” I said to Clara who has been waiting to know what's going on then I got up to go dress up. After a while I came out ready to leave then Clara requested to go with me and I accepted. We rushed into the hospital like we were been chased by a ghost“We are here to see Ana” I said to the nurse at the front desk“And you are?” The nurse aske
I walked over to where Mia and Clara were standing waiting for me“Are you okay Ana” Mia asked me“Yes I am, let’s go now” I repliedMia and Clara took me home, they bought something for me to eat on our way to my place, I pushed myself to eat as soon as we got in, I took the drugs given to me by the doctor, Clara and Mia made sure of that. After hours of talking, it was almost dark and the atmosphere was calm, Clara woke me up“I have to go now” Clara whispered to me calmly, Mia heard her voice and got up from the seat where she was sleeping“Really? You can still stay a bit more” Mia suggested to Clara in a sleepy tone“No, we can do this another time okay, I still have some work to get done” Clara replied“Alright, I will see you tomorrow” Mia replied, I laid down to listen to them motionlessly and Clara picked up her things and left. After some hours Mia had to go too since she had something to attend to and work the next dayMia’s POVI got home from Ana’s house very tired and st
