All through the day Diana wasn't able to control her emotions at work. Not only did she feel like a train had run her over, she also wasn't able to concentrate when the departmental meeting was going on, thus disgracing herself in front of the team leader when asked a question.
Here she was in the bathroom, cleaning her face while trying to control herself but before she knew it, she burst out into tears that she couldn't stop.“Diana, what….” Jessica's words were cut short when she swung the door open to walk in on a messed up Diana. She didn't need anyone to tell her what's going on with her friend, before she offered her a hug.“I'm tired, I'm really tired of everything. I don't want to do this anymore.” Diana cried in her embrace, Jessica knew that this was about Kelvin since Diana loved her work so much, and her actions today could only explain that she wasn't in her right senses.She hasn't been able to know what exactly Marianna, Kelvin's mother told her yesterday when she left during break but Jessica knew that whatever it was, was also part of the reason why Dianna was this way.If this was the way the so-called marriage is, Jessica didn't want to get married ever again. Since after witnessing her friend get beaten up daily in the name, that she wanted to change Kelvin.All she knew was that a day would come, when she wouldn't be too lucky to come out alive, but she wouldn't sit down and watch that happen.“Diana, you need to go to the police station, and have him arrested for wife battering. He's going to kill you, No! He’s already killing you, look at you.” Jessica ssid, pulling up her blouse and saw the dark bruises, including the fresh ones that decorated her body. Kelvin isn't human, he deserves to rot in prison all the days of his life.Instead of Diana listening to her friend, to take Jessica's advice she shaked her head in disagreement, and that's the reason why Jessica is finding it hard to do what she wants to do to Kelvin. It's all because Diana is unwilling to face the truth, to see the handwriting on the wall.“He loves me.” Diana said, looking away from Jessica. That's what she believed, no, that's what she chooses to believe.“Diana…” Jessica called, dragging her by her arm to face her.“He apologized.” Diana lied, turning to keep eye contact with her. She can't leave Kelvin, and so does Kelvin.There's no way she could leave him after working so hard to get married to him, afterall marriage isn't a bed of roses, everyone has to choose their own pain.“And you seriously think he's going to stop just because he apologized, Diana, what is wrong with you?” Jessica added, she has gotten really tired of going back and forth with Diana, all she wanted was to conclude things with her and make a decision about her stand with Kelvin.“He's changing, Jessica. I can feel it, no, I know it. It's just that Kelvin is too pressured by his mother, that's why…”“What did she tell you yesterday?” Jessica added, referring to Marianna, Kelvin's mother. If there's anything Jessica is, is the fact that she's a good friend to Diana, irrespective of what Diana was doing trying to sabotage her plans with Kelvin, she didn't judge her or abandon her just like her highschool friends did because she chose to be with Kelvin.Diana looked away, she didn't want to tell Jessica about that part yet until she confirms from Kelvin, that he has no idea what and why his mother did what she did.“Incase you didn't notice, I saw the look on your face when you were back, Diana.”Jessica added, before taking her hands into her own with concern lacing her entire mood. “You are a young lady, who deserves everything good that life has to offer, and seeing you berate yourself by being with that douchebag it hurts me, Diana. There are a whole lot of men out there, better than…”“I won't cheat on Kelvin.” Diana blurted out instantly. No! She won't commit adultery, she owed that to Kelvin as his wife irrespective of him not thinking of her by sleeping around, but it doesn't matter.“But he cheats on you, but that's not what i am trying to say. What i am trying to say is that you will learn to fall in love again, when you divorce him.There's always a second chance, Diana. Don't give up your life for him. He's not worth it, please?” Jessica begged, and that made Dianna really embarrassed.If there's anyone who should have been giving each other advice, it should have been her because Jesus is a social butterfly who doesn't act like she's ready to settle down any time soon. Unlike her who was a die hard fan of romance, Jessica doesn't fail to show off the fact that she's a hoe forever.She would rather remain single than to commit herself in any relationship, and Diana knew that she too was emulating from her marriage with Kelvin, to give up on love.“She introduced a lady to me as Kelvin's second wife, I will talk about it to Kelvin tonight.”“What's there to talk about, Diana? They are literally showing you your place in that family.” Jessica attacked her, which she found offensive. Even if her marriage with Kelvin is dying can't she at least try to save it?“Jessica please, I still want to try to talk to Kelvin.”Diana insisted.“Okay, don't come back crying when he blows one of your eyes out.” Jessica sassed, which made Diana slap her for using such words against her.“How could you?” She growled at her. It's her fault for talking to her about her marital life in the first place, what was she expecting from someone, who sleeps around without trying to put herself in her shoes for once?When Jessica figured out what she did, she came closer to her. “ I'm sorry, Diana, I didn't mean to..”“No matter how much you feel as if your life is all perfect, you had no right to insult me using my misery Jessica, you had no right!” She yelled at her, cleaning her tears before taking her bag and left the bathroom with Jessica calling after her, but she didn't want to hear anything from her anymore.If Kelvin kills her, so be it but what she wouldn't take is Jessica's advice anymore. She's not her friend!It was late in the night when Kelvin parked his car outside the hotel Liliana was staying. He didn't know why he came here instead of going home, to play the dutiful husband to his wife that was keeping secrets from him.Maybe it has to do with the fact that Liliana said that it's urgent, or that he needed a distraction to hold in his anger just at the thought of Diana cheating on him.He stepped out of the car, without knowing that he kept his phone in the car because at that moment Diana's call came in but he didn't pick up.While he entered the elevator to Liliana's room, Diana had to stay awake waiting for him in the house, concern lacing her entire demeanor because she had no idea what was happening to him.At first, she had thought of calling his mother, but swept the idea to the carpet because as much as she and Kelvin had reconciled, his mother's hatred towards her was on another level. So, she waited for him to be back.After coming out of the elevator and pressing in the pas
It was six on the dot, and it was time to leave. After a stressful day having gone through the needed files about Xavier’s new story without any distractions like the first time, Diana could admit that he has grown up.She didn’t see him today, neither did his assistant come to check up on her. The only way she was convinced that she was being watched was through the CCTV camera in the sitting room.Xavier might not be here with her, but his presence was hardly unknown from the number of cameras in the sitting room, the hallway leading to the bathroom?The place was like a fortress , and not just anyone would come into the house, be it a burglar regardless of it being just Xavier that was living alone.As she was busy packing up to leave, her phone started to ring and when she saw who was calling she smiled.Jessica.“Hello, miss girl or would i say Mrs.” Jessica said, teasing her. It was obvious that she’s still trying hard to live around the fact that she wasn’t staying with her any
“I’m sorry but Anne isn’t in sound health, how about we schedule another photo shoot for her when she's…hello.” Mr. Black, her agency’s president, said over the phone while Anne looked at him saying nothing as her schedule for the day went downhill.She was here in the hospital because right after Xavier left her, after breaking up with her. She went straight into drugs and overdosed on it. Had it not been for her assistant, Mia who walked in to find her unconscious in her bedroom. Nobody would have known what would happen to her.But one thing was clear, it was all because of Xavier and right now, Mr. Black is controlling himself from being at it with Xavier’s agency, they were breaching a contract but it was very obvious to Anne that Xavier doesn’t care about any of it.He was down to pay for any damages but she doesn’t want to believe that it’s true, rather she was hopeful that he will come around, and come see her once he hears that she’s in the hospital.“Thanks Mr.Banks. I will
“Anne has been calling.” Jake told Xavier, who was busy watching Mrs. Ross work from the CCTV he implanted in the room. It was obvious that he didn't hear what he just said or that he didn't care, after all, Anne never really meant anything to him.“Yeah, she's a pain in the ass.” Xavier mumbled, not really giving Jake the full details of his sudden hostile actions towards his supposed girlfriend.For the past few days, Xavier has changed his passcodes, preventing Anne's access inside his house. Yesterday, Jake ran into her outside the gate, Xavier wasn't at home when she came and from the look on her face, it meant trouble.Jahe didn't know how to go about, pushing Xavier to tell him what transpired between him and the young lady, the last time he had forced him to do so, they had a huge rift between them. As much as he loved Anne and wanted her to always be happy, even if he's not the reason for the smile on her face, he's still working for Xavier and might lose his job.Jake's phon
“Are you sure that you don’t want me to drive you to work?” Kelvin asked again, suspecting that something was wrong with Diana not wanting him to drive her to her workplace.He was persisting to do that, on the other hand, Diana was doing everything possible for him not to know that she wasn’t actually going to work at the publishing company anymore.She didn’t know, but telling Kelvin about her working directly from Xavier’s house, a non-disclosure contract being signed about this very job, made her feel like she’s leaking out top secret information.He’s her husband, but she practically knew nothing about his family business, aside from the fact that the company is a tech company. So, yeah, she owes him no explanation, well as of now.He’s suspecting her like she’s hiding something from him, she could see it in his eyes. The doubt, but she didn’t know how to go about it that she wasn’t cheating on him, because that’s what the old Kelvin would be thinking right now.They had spent th
That same night*Liliana dropped her bag in her room, before taking the nylon that contained the stuff that she has bought from the convenience store inside her bathroom.She's been calling Kelvin for the past five days and he's not picking up, he's avoiding her. For someone who claims that he's in love with his wife, but spends his night in her bed. That was truly an absurd way of explaining his love for her.But that wasn't the reason why she's been calling him, although she missed him and his touch. She was still trying to live with the fact that Kelvin is not her man.Yet, she still find herself trying to find a place to his heart. She took the pregnancy test that was inside the bag after washing her hands and went into the toilet.She should have been scared.After all, if she's truly pregnant by the man who she thought is the father, she might be making a huge mistake by trying to be a homewrecker.But this was a blessing.Kelvin has always wanted a child, something that his wi
