(Mr. Axl's Mansion)
" I need the receipts for the transactions made last week" Cathy yelled from the dining room as she climbed the stairs. " You have no right to get explanations on how I spend my money". She let out a mocking laughter as she said " your money??, Listen to me Axl it's My money " "Am married to you so everything you have is mine" "Really?? She asked with popped eyeballs. " Get your ass upstairs and get me the receipt she ordered. " You should be ashamed of yourself, ordering your husband like a common helper" Axl pitifully said. " Young man, your wasting my time I honestly have work to do" she commanded sternly. " I regretted ever marrying you Cathy Chester " She laughed mischievously as though she knew he didn't mean what he said. " For God's sake who would ever regret marrying the richest woman?" Cathy was about to say something when a maid came and bowed " Sir, your friend Mr Dementrio had come to see you " " Bring him in" he said with smiles all over. His best friend had just saved him from the furry of his wife. " I will get back to you later" he whispered as he rushed downstairs without waiting to get her reply. "Dementrio, the deadliest of all" Axl's greeted his friend as he welcomed him to his study . Dementrio was the exact opposite of his brother. From his height to his face and other features they were all definitions of being ugly. He wore dark shades every time to hide his fearful eyeballs. His skin were full of scars that showed he had been through hell in life. He sat down at the cushion opposite the desk as Axl moved to get a drink from the mini bar in his office. "You returned so early from your trip Dementrio" "It wasn't as favourable as I wanted " He sounded angry. "Have some drink to cure your pain my friend " Axl offered as he handed him a glass half filled with red wine. "How about you? How have you been? You had another fight with Cathy?He asked taking the glass. Axl and Cathy had not even been married up to six months and their marriage was already filled with drama and quarrels. He vividly remembered how grand their wedding was and how Cathy smiled as they exchanged wedding vows.As soon as they came back from their three days Honeymoon, they became total strangers and enemies. Axl's answer brought him back to reality "Yeah, just some regular quarrels" "Didn't seem like regular to me, remember she hasn't come to say hi to me" Dementrio spoke up. " You know how Cathy could be about spending money, she always wants to know how I spend the company's income" Axl muttered bitterly. " Why not divorce her??" He asked watching his friend's face from the dark shade he wore. Axl raised an eyebrow after hearing what he said, He couldn't even picture out what Dementrio was saying. "How could he suggest divorce of all solutions? What happens to all the properties his father had ensured he gets?" "Cathy is a ruthless being just like her father, the blood line of Mr. Chester is ruthless and evil" Axl explained bitterly. "Have you tried talking her into giving you a share of her father's property " Dementrio asked this time removing his sunshades. He always did that whenever he wanted to say something serious because he felt his blood shot eyes showed seriousness."Yeah, a lot of time " he answered pouring another glass for himself Axl nodded and continued "what was her response?"."The wealth is strictly for the Chester's family and she can't give it to an outsider "Axl replied bitterly. "Goddammit...she's really a pain now, but I thought as her husband you have all the wealth?" He asked as he finished his glass wine , everything was becoming more complex and complicated. "That's what the public thinks but the companies, businesses and houses are still under Cathy's name, she will have to make me a sole proprietor before I get the full access to the wealth and fortune "Axl explained. "Why not drug her and then make her sign the documents " Dementrio asked. Axl wasn't surprised hearing that, he knew his friend and the ideas he was capable of thinking but drugging Cathy won't be that easy , she is very smart. Dementrio sat quietly as he sipped the red wine allowing the scent of the alcohol flow through his nostrils. He needed the properties as fast as possible, that was his last promise to his father and he wanted to keep that promise. If left for him, he didn't want to involve a lady like Damien mentioned because Axl was his best friend and he could trick him into signing the property papers at any point in time but now the properties weren't even in Axl's name so there was no way he could get them. He breathed heavily as he felt Damien was hiding something from him and anger flowed through his vein as he thought of Damien trying to betray him but he couldn't tell if it was true of not. Damien was his elder brother and he was so smart and cunning . "Cathy is very very smart, she has connections with different cannibals of human beings so we can't even hurt her" Axl cried out. "Don't worry about Cathy, I will think of a solution to put her in her place" He stated as he stood up to leave "You have plans for going to work today??" Axl asked peeping through his glass "Yeah, I have some meetings arranged to get me more money" Damien answered with a mischievous smile. "Smile often Damien, so you could get yourself a young and beautiful girl" . "Am not interested in women, they are so complicated and I can't stand their drama" He retorted . Axl let out a loud laughter almost chocking and spilling his drink. "Yeah, that's true"he nodded in affirmation "I will be leaving,see you some other time" Damien said as he straightened up his jacket, put his dark shades on and left ,walking as fast as possible.
Driving home she felt total rage and anger .She kept cool as she drove fast back to her house trying hard to keep her speed level in check. The last thing she wanted right now was to be arrested for over speeding or reckless driving. As she got home,she rushed to the kitchen to get her favourite whisky from the refrigerator, tightly clutching to the bottle of whiskey like someone was going to take it from her, she drank from it directly without bothering to pour it in a glass cup to show courtesy. She gulped it heavily as she strode across the room in furry, her face was full of anger as she tried to clear her long black hair that had fallen over her face with her left hand folded into a fist with the memories of the night she was assaulted running through her head ,the agony, pain mixed with anger flowed through her veins. " She knew who assaulted her and she was going to make him pay back dearly". Tears flowed down her pretty eyes as she remembered the incide
She typed the address and quickly sent it to Rhea, " She would have no problem locating it, it was just down the street " She thought. She wore her jacket as she left the house driving slowly to the coffee shop. The coffee shop looked fanciful and had many customers today which was due to the weather. "What better way of spending the winter than having a nice cup of hot coffee". As she entered,she sat down and signaled for a waiter who came up immediately ,she ordered Cappuccino and steamed stuffed buns. Her order came right after 3 minutes and she ate silently while waiting for Rhea. Rhea appeared about 10 minutes later looking as gorgeous as ever. She was a black beauty with beautiful long hair which she tied up in a ponytail. She wore plain and thick clothes which was to protect her from cold. " How long have you been waiting?" She asked immediately she arrived. "Not too long, only that I had already finished up my coffee and was about to order another on
"Here are the information you asked for Cindy" Rhea said giving her the laptop. They had just returned home a while ago and where already making preparations for their revenge plan."He has no photographs here, why is that?" She asked looking at Rhea. "His a wealthy man so information concerning him are kept secret and highly confidential, Mr. Damien was close so maybe that's why he got his photographs" Rhea explained. " That's weird, so when he drives to work nobody takes his pictures?"She asked . " His powerful Cindy, so controlling the media is not a problem " Rhea answered as she got up to the refrigerator to take a bottle of whiskey. " Why is there a half filled bottle of whiskey?" She asked taking another whiskey bottle. "I drank that one earlier today but am keeping it to celebrate my Victory when the time comes" Cindy answered with smiles. " Hope the information I got on Mr. Axl is okay?". " Yes, it's okay for now, at least we know how he looks like,
She opened her eyes slowly as she wondered why she was lying down on the cushion when she was supposed to be on her bed, she looked around to see if she could find Rhea but she wasn't there. She stood up gently because she was still feeling tired as she walked up to her room only to find Rhea sleeping peacefully on the bed. "Typical Rhea" She sighed as she quickly scanned the room looking for something to hit her. Nothing in the room caught her attention, they were all hard objects which will hurt Rhea if she used it on her, so she had to settle for the extra pillow on the bed which Rhea wasn't using. She hit the pillow hard on Rhea making her scream into reality in fright. " What's the meaning of this Cindy?" She yelled in shock and anger. " I should ask you that Rhea, why are you on the bed?" Cindy interrogated. " I want to sleep, don't disturb me" she replied as she turned to sleep. " Are you serious? Rhea you left me on the cushion and came to sleep her
"Boss, the supposed dead daughter of Mr. Chester is still alive" he answered. "What! That's good news, so Cathy's twin sister is still alive " Dementrio said with a grin and for the first time he removed his sunshades to show his happiness. " Although I have some bad news" The bodyguard answered, he was in all black and wore a mask. "Your brother Damien had already gotten to her and the Information I got says he plan on using her in getting the wealth of Mr. Axl" He continued and bowed his head waiting for Dementrio's orders. "Damien, Damien, you won't change right?" He mocked . He wasn't surprised his brother will betray him, the Damien he knew will do anything to be above him but unfortunately he always knew all his plans . Unknown to Damien, his brother kept tabs on him and he knew every of his move. " You can leave" he ordered the bodyguard. He laughed at his brother' s cowardness and stupidity. "He doesn't even know all the wealth belonged to Cathy an
"What was that all about" Cindy asked as soon as Rhea got close to her. "It's nothing, he just mistook you for someone" She answered. " Wow,I thought as much because he kept staring at me like he had seen me before" Cindy responded. " Yeah I noticed, he said you reminded him of a friend he met in California " "California? She laughed , but I have never been to California" . " That's what I said to him and he left but did you notice anything about him" Rhea inquired. "Anything? Like what exactly? She questioned. " Like his harsh and bossy Aura" "Yeah, he reminded me of Damien only that he looked more dangerous and Damien is more handsome" Cindy answered. "You think he could be the right one? Rhea asked with a grin on her face. " Hope it's not what am thinking ?" She asked ignoring her question."Depends on what your thinking Cindy" she answered." That guy has no respect for ladies and your already catching feelings?" Cindy said. " I also don't have respect
The building stood out looking magnificent, it was a skyscraper and she wondered how many floors it contained. Maybe 40 to 50 floors, she thought. She walked to go inside when she suddenly stiffened. Was she ready for this, she thought. She took a deep breath and moved forward, 'It was too late to turn back'. The door automatically opened for her and she entered into the office. She shivered, the air inside was much colder than outside. She quietly rubbed her palms as she walked up to the receptionist. 'Good afternoon, I need to see Mr. Axl ' she said politely. "Do you have an appointment with him" the receptionist asked. She was petite with a short brown hair and looked quite older than Cindy, maybe in her late 30's . "No I don't" she answered. "Am sorry Miss you can't see him" She explained without her eyes leaving the system in front of her. Cindy scowled, she already expected this and was ready for it. The information Rhe
(Axl's POV) I looked at her for the 8th time as she kept staring at me. 'She's must be up to something, I thought . With the corner of my eyes I examined her face, she was really pretty . After a while , She got up gently as she swayed her hips swiftly to where I was sitting and started massaging my shoulders gently. I didn't have the courage to tell her to stop, her hands were just as warm as soft fur which sent a sweet sensation to my bone marrows , I quietly enjoyed the feeling when she suddenly brought her lips to my ears and whispered, ''there are cameras all over'. At first I didn't understand what she said because I was still feeling the sensation of hearing her voice. Her words digested and the reality of being of caught in camera freed me from her lust for that moment but then I maintained my composure after giving it a thought. ' Who are you?' I asked peering at her beautiful face. She blinked twice and answered, " Call me
