"Really? Oh my! I will be really glad to welcome you back." I said to Loveth on the phone.
"I–I need to tell you something Monica."
"What do you need to tell me? I know there is surely something bothering you. I would like to hear it, go on." I leaned back on my chair twirling the pen on the desk in my hand.
"I– I–"
A knocked came through the door as she was about to talk further. "Hold on Loveth! Come in!" I removed the phone from the ear and esponded to the person at the door.
A young skinny lady in her twenties walked in to my office. She has this tiny cat eyes with a very dark eyeball. A long chin which made her pretty of a lady. "Hello ma!" She had a normal lady's voice. "The CEO called for an impromptu meeting and you need to be there ma'am."
"Now!?"
"Yes, now! It is about the contract we are dealing with, LA company." She dropped her folded palms on her lap as she make the announcement.
"Moni! Are you the
"Arggh!" I rose up from bed reluctantly to an heavy headache. I clutched my head tightly and slipped my hand into my hair. I screwed up my eyes to the bright sunlight that reflected through the drapery."You drank so much yesterday."I turned to the direction the voice came through. My eyes widened up just immediately. I gazed at him in awe as he sat on the cushion with a glass of water in his hand. I looked away for a few seconds and looked back to check if I was only dreaming. A smile fell down from my lips at the confirmation of my visibility."Ar–""Don't even call out my name Monica," he cut me off shortly. "Why did you need to drink so much at the party?""Noo, I –""No? No! I told you I will be back just yesterday from my traveling, which you insisted I needed to finish up whatever task I had in Singapore before coming back home. I agreed, then I arrived at the house after a long good week spent at the hotel alone. I was expecti

Tears, was what my eyes could made justice to as Arnold revealed the despicable thing that went on his mind. Years ago when the truth hasn't been known, we never once fought this way, nor question each other's character. He never even yelled at me. Now that we are bounded to be together–ahh! Why is this happening to us?"Now you said it is my problem? Whereas you caused this on us. That was why you asked me to finish up my task because of your nasty games. That was just the reason you haven't been able to speak to Loveth. My sister couldn't talk to me about her problem, she insisted on talking to you alone because she trust you. What did you do in return?" He gestured as his voice kept raising up. "You broke her trust.""No! Don't involve Loveth in this, I am going to speak to her as promised and please Arnold, don't be like this. You know I wouldn't do that. Why are you hurting me? You said all you have wanted is my happiness, how did you want to achieve that? By this, by this thin

"Arnold! Arnold! All he said are lies. He just want to ruin our relationship. Arnold! Will you please just listen to me, talk to me please. Please Arnold!" I defended again when we got to the living as he tried to leave for the room, leaving me all alone."What have you both done in the past?" He turned to face me, wrapped his arm around him and said further, "he mentioned you guys had something in the past, and you are here telling me everything are lies? I was there Monica. I have been there for so long while you guys are chatting. I heard everything he said to you, everything! Why did you came back to me when you don't actually love me anymore? You should have just let me leave for abroad instead of you coming back to me. You should have just be with him. I would have let you go if you told me back then that you are happy with him, with just his touch on your skin, but you told me you guys had no relationship or whatsoever. Why are you doing this?"

My hands were on the grey colour cabinet in the kitchen as I sensed someone at the entrance. I looked briefly at the door bumping my eyes into the microwave that was placed at the end side of the placement. Loveth rested slantly against the wall with her two arms folded around each other.Loveth arrived with Arnold the day he scurried out of the room due to the emergency call he received from her.It happens that Loveth had to escaped from the USA because of her fiancé insults on her. He never allowed her to leave the house, not even to work. She came back to Nigeria with bruises all over her faces, and she had been trying to explain them all to me to save her from him, but I never had the time to listen to her."Hey! Sister-in-law!" She walked closed to me and pressed her lower back against the cabinet, where the toasting machine is placed. A cupboard was hung up there, straight to where she was. "Were you disappointed to see me instead of your husband
I knocked at the wooden door in the house. I forgot to mention the house being of different phases. The room was just a little stepped away from the living room with other rooms beside it. Since Arnold had decided to pack his luggage away from our room to avoid me, he had made the guest room his.I switched on my phone to check what time it was as I got no response while knocking at the door for the past few minutes now. Has he slept already? I need to speak to Arnold this night. I just hoped he opened up the door for me. I knocked again, there comes a slight opened of the door. My heart skipped as I held on the door knob. I shut my eyes closed and moved inside the bedroom after few seconds of drama.I am just being scared of what the outcome could be. I stood closed to the door after I locked it back.The only brightness that was visible in the room was that of his screen laptop. I heard the sound as he used his finger tips on the keyboard. He sat on the bed like a student reading f
