"I'm sorry Sam." Dominic said"My wife's name is Samantha." Emilio said behind me really angry now"Damnit. Chill out bro. I'm sorry Samantha. Samantha DeGeneres. There you happy now?" he said glaring at Emilio"I do not understand. Sorry about what? What's happening here?" I asked, utterly confused as I looked from Dominic and then behind me at Emilio.Emilio now walked around to where Dominic was seated and tapped Dominic on the shoulder."Apparently our dear lawyer here has a hobby. But his hobby went a little too far with you as clearly, he was smitten by you." he said"I don't understand. What are you talking about?" I asked"He had video recordings of your time at his place and don't worry I already extracted the truth that it was before our wedding and I do not hold it against you." he said"I don't believe you." I said as tears gathered up in my eyes"There's more my darling wife. After seeing you were my wife, he sent me those photos but then I have my sources and it was not
I knew at this point that my marriage to Emilio had just been set up on hold indefinitely because I had absolutely no idea for how long I would be staying away from him but if I was being honest, I slightly wished he had not torn the divorce papers.All these years, I had been living with a man that believed I had been cheating on him. Now the most funny aspect of it all was the fact that the very same lawyer whom I trusted had been the one orchestrating the entire situation. I had no idea what to make of all of this but I needed to leave."Sam, please. Let's just talk." Emilio said to me as I walked inside.He looked broken and I could see the shock at the turn of events in the eyes of the staff members. Clearly, they too were confused as to what had happened. I moved quickly and straight to the guest room where I had moved my things as I drew out my luggage. I started pulling out clothing from my wardrobe and still would say nothing. Emilio was there this time."Samantha, let's talk
I stood out there for a while as I could not get my friend on the phone. Then I decided that I should probably start moving in the direction of the junction when a car flashes its light behind me. I had not noticed it before but right now, I saw it was parked a few yards away from my home. It felt weird but I did not want to see who was in it or the type of car it was. I started walking briskly with my luggage and then I noticed it was following me steadily. I increased my pace as fear gripped me. Perhaps, Emilio had sent people after me or something because why on earth would a car be parked away from my home at such a strategic point today of all days and now following me steadily. A greater part of me was of the opinion that I should return home and apologize for my husband for my behavior earlier but there was this tiny stubborn part of me that would rather I see through everything he was clearly throwing my way. I got tired now as I was already beginning to sweat when I stopped m
The insistent knocking on the door got me nearly swearing out loudly on what I was going to whoever was behind the door. My head was banging from the headache I felt and I managed to get off the bed. Dominic was turning in his sleep on the couch while I went for the door. I had thrown every last bit of caution in the air on whether it would be Emilio or his cronies as I grabbed the handle, turned the key and opened the door. She flung herself at me in the tightest embrace and Lord, I realized how much of that I needed as tears fell from my eyes."Girl, I'm so sorry you could not reach me. I got your text this morning and I had to make my way here immediately." Zara said as she held on rather tightly to me.I sniffled.I recalled that in the bit of my frustrations the previous night, I had asked Dominic to spend the night there. No way would I be asking him to sleep on the same bed with me when there was a rather big couch in the room. Hence, I passed him to the duvet and turned off th
EMILIO'S POVShe had to come back. I mean, she is my woman and there would be nowhere else for her except with me.She had left the home bearing her luggage out into the night but I had not been bothered with chasing after her. I mean, this was really late and she would not be getting any taxi at this point. She would probably wear herself out and then realize her mistakes by trying to end what we shared that was really strong and return to me. I asked the men to keep at alert just in case she returned as I walked into my bedroom in absolute rage.What was it with this woman and why could she not see reasons with me as to the fact that it had not been my fault. I mean, I was not the damn lawyer she had been frolicking with that had led us all up to the moment. I would not have myself be judged by another man's weight. I was really pissed as I rushed in for a really quick shower with bigger hopes of meeting her inside the moment I returned to the sitting room. She would not be able to
EMILIO'S POVWaking up that morning, I felt my lips give way for a smile. I could not help but recount all that had happened the previous night with Samantha. How I had touched every sensual part of her body and of course, how I had left her desiring more. But then I had slipped from my obvious dreamy oblivion. We had been looking for her all night right? So how come she came into my bedroom for some cosplay sex or whatever you might want to call it. It felt odd, as much as it was fishy, which was when I quickly opened my eyes and looked directly at the person sleeping on the bed beside me. That was not Samantha and sadly I had done it again.I quickly tapped her and she struggled awake but the moment she saw the look in my eyes, I could have sworn that she felt fear streaming through her veins as she glanced at me. She hastily sat up with her hand at the back of her neck like she was trying to suppress her nervousness."What are you doing here?" I demanded."Well, sir... I...you... a
EMILIO'S POVGood riddance, now I could actually see who it was that had been following my wife and probably kidnapped or given her a ride. As the case maybe but trust me, he would be wishing he never did. I saw a little hint of worry in the man's eyes and I knew instantly that something was actually wrong. There was something they might have seen."I'll be there in a minute. Make sure you do not waste my time." I said."Yes sir." He said to me and then left my study.I looked at the cigar I had placed in the ashtray and then grabbed it again as I lit it up again with the lighter. I reclined as I smoked it deep in thoughts as I began imagining things I would be doing to the person while I wait for her return. I had given her two days right but clearly, there was no way Samantha would not return to me within this short period of time. I had this strong feeling towards that. I mean, I was that perfect man whom no woman would want to resist even if their head screams for them to resist m
MARIAH'S POVMariah Gonzalez is my name and I know that you probably hate me for what happened with my boss that night but seriously, I truly hope you would understand that being the person I was and the person he was, I could not resist him. It was seemingly something I had to do or there would be no way out and I seriously did not want to get on the bad side of my boss.Perhaps if you could see through my eyes, you would understand. Being born in the family where I had been born, far into the most deadly ghetto areas with four brothers who were doing absolutely nothing with their lives, I could not lose my job for fear of returning to the slums where all we see is the reflection of the gangsters and their vanity. I had been sexually assaulted several times over and twice because of my brother's drug dealership debts, I had to sleep with men I knew nothing about.So take it that you were in my shoes and finally you got this job that was a little elevated from what you know and gives
