Chapter Forty-0ne

This is unbelievable; is this not the same Lawson who promised me heaven and earth?

At first, I wondered what I had done to him that made him change his mind towards me, but I concluded that he wasn't a baby who didn't know what he wanted.

I thought we now had a perfect home since I can see traces of him changing, and the way he supported me in the last few days, but it's clear to me now that he has chosen the path he wants to follow and the way he wants to find happiness.

We can find how we chose to be happy separately, and I can say I would also find a way to. 

I went upstairs, freshened up, and retired to my bed. I slept as if nothing had happened. I promised myself not to react or say anything about what happened between Sussie and Lawson tonight.

The next morning, I woke up healthy and sound. I went downstairs and saw Caroline in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I don't feel like seeing or talking to either Sussie or Lawson.

 “ Good morning Caroline, can you please make my breakfast and pack it for me?” I instructed her.

I finished dressing up and am ready to go to work. I got downstairs and met Sussie sitting on the couch in the sitting room.

“ Caroline, please bring the food you packed for me, don't forget to put some fruits too.” I waited for her to bring the food.

“ Are you running away now? I have never seen you pack your food to work since I got here, why today? Anyways you need to adapt to the current situation, I told you Lawson is mine, he never fancied you. He told me everything, the reason why he married you. He will choose me over you a hundred times, so get used to it.” She said to me as I waited for Caroline to bring my food. She was happy as she talked.

I collected my food, headed out, and went to my workplace.

My hairstylist was already attending to some customers when I arrived. A customer was having her hair locked and someone was also adding extensions to her hair. 

When I was done with the customers, I had a chance to be in my office, then I remembered I had spoken to Aaron and Roselyn a long time ago, so I decided to give them a call.

“ Hi Aaron, how have you been? Hope you are good? I just want to say hi, I noticed it's been a while, and sorry for the other time.” We spoke for like three minutes before we said goodbye and he responded well.

I also called Roselyn immediately after I dropped the call.

“ Hi Rosie, it's been a while since we hung out, I will see you today at your workplace.” I can't be home early to be frustrated, I also deserve to be happy.

I closed early from the studio when I noticed we didn't have much to do, so I went home to freshen up and have a change clothes. 

“I met Sussie in the dining area trying to set the table, she wore a bum short and a singlet with little make-up on. I can say she was beautiful and I envy her for that.

I went upstairs freshened up and put on jeans and a blue transparent top with the inner showing, surely my bra is showing.

“ Caroline, please get me some food.” I discovered I was hungry then I decided to. Eat before I leave.

“ Food? If you want to eat in this house, then you should enter the kitchen and make it yourself, that's the law in this house don't forget.” She said to me.

I ignored her and faced Caroline.

“ Is there no more food in the kitchen? Please get me something to eat.” I sat on the couch waiting patiently for the food.

“Sussie had packed the remaining food inside the freezer and locked it.” She came back empty-handed with the news.

Sussie burst into laughter, she almost fell from the chair she was sitting in.

“ That serves you right, you should also have a taste of your medicine. If you need food to eat, enter the kitchen and cook, that's all.” She was serious about it.

“ But you prepared the food, ain't you? What audacity does she have to keep food in this house?” I was still talking to Caroline.

“ Yes I prepared the food but she was in the kitchen with me giving out instructions on what to do,” Caroline answered.

I picked up my phone and called Lawson.

“ Hi, I am home and wanted to eat, but Sussie had packed the food Caroline made inside the freezer and locked it. She asked me to go into the kitchen to cook if I am truly hungry.” I explained in detail.

“ Well, it won't take you much time to make your food, you should do that. That's the new law in the house, if you are hungry, you make your own food.” He said and hung up the phone.

It now dawned on me that Sussie knew what she was saying. I didn't say anything else, I sat down to order a cab and waited patiently for it to come.

I got into the cab I had ordered earlier which took me to the club. 

“ Waiter, please get me some red wine and ice cubes.” I made my order

I settled down in a chair waiting for what I ordered to be delivered, then I raised my head and

looked up. Guess who I saw, Grace and Lawson dancing to the music.
