She walked back the remaining metres on barefoot because the shoes she wore were already hurting her abd then her feet were already sore. She got home at exactly 10:15pm, She stopped in the kitchen and opened the refrigerator,her favourite whiskey wasn't there so she opted for beer. She sat down at the kitchen table drinking beer while thinking deeply. "I didn't hear any car drive in" Rhea answered as she leaned on the rails of the stair case. She still wore the clothes she had on earlier today . " I walked" Cindy answered. " You did what?" She asked as she strolled to where Cindy was . "Not all the walking Rhea, he dropped me in front of the avenue, I just had to walk here" she explained. " Oh, poor thing". Cindy sat still studying the beer and then look across her. "Everything feels alot strange Rhea" she said as she drank more beer. "What do you mean?" She asked staring hardly at her. " Everything about my life" she mumbled, her h
' You still haven't told me the reason you called me, rather your just smiling and staring into space ' Dementrio said as he sipped his favorite champagne. He wore a black suit and for the first time he was without his sunshades. It was an early afternoon and the sun was already out to end the winter and welcome the autumn. The weather was warm as the sea breeze carrassed their skin. They were on the roof top of Axl's house carefully observing the city. " Guess who came yesterday?" Axl finally spoke after 8 minutes of silence. 'who are you talking about '? He answered. " A girl, not just any girl, she was very beautiful" " A girl? You must be joking right?" "Am not, she's as beautiful as the stars in the sky" Axl answered with a smirk on his face . " Er... Tell me more" Dementrio said as he observed his friend, for a moment he presumed the girl was Cindy. He narrated everything to him. " Your kidding me right, you actually slept with her?" Dementrio asked
Cathy sat on the couch absentminded , her gaze was fixed on the morning newspaper which wasn't surprising. She always read the newspaper every morning with a nice cup of coffee as she checkmate her business enterprise. Today was different, her coffee stood there untouched and it looked cold. She wore a robe thet made her look like middle aged women from the 80's. They stood there for sometime unnoticed thinking of how to get her attention. " Catherine!" Axl cried with his voice sounding cold and harsh. She turned looking so shocked not because of his yelling but because he just called her by her original name, a name which no one except her father had called her before. At the same time Axl was also shocked by the boldness of his friend as he looked at him for an explanation to what had just happened. She drifted closer as she jerked her head high, drew back her shoulders and with arrogant pride glared him down with her voice. " How dare you Axl!" S
He stood where his car was parked fumbling as he tried to open the door with the right key. He stood there unbelievably shocked by the actions he had just portrayed and fear gripped his heart. He never could had imagined he would ever have been so disrespectful to Cathy, even though she had her own dose of craziness ,she actually never deserved any of the humiliation she just received. He sent punches at his car door, venting all his anger on the window. He was mad at himself for doing that although at the same time he felt glad he opened up that part of him . I need to speak with my father, he thought as he entered and drove off. Luckily the windows weren't broken at all. He got to his father's house in less than 10 minutes, the house was just in the next avenue although he had so many houses scattered across the city. He usually stayed here when he wanted to rest . Just like he presumed his dad was in his study settling down with a glass of cha
Mr. Anderson walked away from his study still holding the glass of champagne on his right hand with Axl following closely. " I worked very hard to make sure all my plans came to accomplishment and all you want to do is ruin it by divorcing her?" He asked as he looked at him with rage. Axl digested it as he bowed his head in shame. " Tell me Axl what do you think Cathy will do when she hears about your divorce plans? He asked. He looked away . " Let me tell you, she would gladly leave you, you know why? He interrogated and quickly answered. "That's because you have nothing Axl, you are nothing without her". " I won't be in this house if she was not here " he concluded. Axl looked around the room , the mansion was all thanks to Cathy.The mansion wasn't like the other mansions in the neighborhood . It was prestigious and stood out in recognition. Stone statues guarded the entrance, in the left was the statue of a lion while in the left was the statue of
"But who could have done that" she asked as she ruffled her hair . " That's a question for another day Cathy, now you will have to look for her" he said. She thought for a moment as she looked straight at Dementrio as if he could read her thoughts. " I will check the Chester's mansion today" she said as she sighed softly. " Can you keep this as a secret?" She raised her eyebrows confused as she gave him a puzzled look. " I mean, we don't really know the truth about everything, so it will be nice if you don't tell your husband or Mr. Anderson this information" he explained. " Sure, I won't " . " Promise? " He asked as he brought out his palm. His gesture made Cathy surprised and she had to accept. " Yes, I promise" she answered placing her palm on his, he held her fingers lightly before releasing her still maintaining eye contact with her . " Are you okay Dementrio?" She asked closely. "Er... Yes am fine" he stammered. Honestly he didn't unders
She woke up with a fright as she thought she heard something, she turned and realized it was her phone ringing. It was Mr. Damien. She sighed as she wondered why he wouldn't stop calling her . She ignored the calls as her eyes wandered round the room. She slept in the living room, this time it wasn't Rhea's fault at all. She purposely slept there. She closed her eyes as she remembered what happened last night, her dinner date was going all well until she started suspecting he wasn't the real culprit. Everything was just going strange and she felt she was doing something wrong but what could it be? She had always obeyed her instinct and this time her instinct made her feel she was doing something wrong. She would have to find out the truth and she has to do it fast. She got up as she walked to her room where Rhea spent the night. Rhea was awake and staring at the ceiling. " I should better move my things out of this room because it has a new o
"Have you sent the message?" Cindy asked as she got downstairs, she was wearing a black handless gown with a black shoe with low heels to match the weather. Finally the winter was over and she should pace around half naked like she used to. "No, have been a little busy" Rhea replied from the sofa watching videos. Her answer made Cindy fold her palms making a fist as she walked up to Rhea to punch her but she escaped before then. "Cindy! You are not normal at all, come close again and am calling the security agencies" Rhea threatened. She slowly calmed herself and said immediately , " If you were a random stranger,I would have broken your bones" . "Don't care Cindy, payback successfully done!" She heaved a sigh of frustration as she turned back to get her phone. A call came from Mr Damien , as she wondered if he knew he was the topic of discord between them. She answered immediately. "Why did you hang up on me? I tried calling thi
