The staff said you are packing. You can't leave. I have a launching tonight and my both sons must be there.' He said.'Do not bother. We wouldn't be there.' Louis replied immediately. 'I'm sure your pristine and perfect lawyer son would make up for my absence. Believe me, it would not be so much of a big deal.''Now listen, you don't get to choose, Louis. I am trying to be mayor. The last time I tried for that position, you ruined it with that scandal with Rhoda.It would not happen again. Both of my sons must be beside me. It doesn't matter if one has sworn he prefers to be a celeb splayed on bill boards as thirst trap for ladies. ' The man said with a note of finality.'Father-' He started to protest but the man wouldn't let him speak. 'It's by 7pm this evening. Your mother would intimate you on the outfit, the style and the colors for the evening.'She is not my mother. I don't-' Louis started to say again but the man raised his hands to indicate he wasn't going to entertain the co
'Now tell me exactly what is going on.'Wendy could feel her heart rate speed up as she had a immediate rush of adrenaline. How was she going tell the man who had suddenly started making her feel brand new, who no longer saw as a criminal that she was doing some dirty work with Matteo?'Wendy! Can you speak?' His voice was a little bit louder and very firm. She cleared her throat. 'Louis, I -' She paused, deciding to choose her words wisely. 'Yes?' He urged on. 'Why is he calling you?''Matteo is my friend. You weren't exactly treating me well and I needed someone. A friend. He just checks up on me. From time to time he calls to be sure you haven't killed me.' She said, hoping he wouldn't ask more questions or worse, ask to see her phone.'A friend. Friendship.' He rolled the words in his mouth, as if tasting it to decide their genuineness.Wendy jumped in to explain more. 'See, I'm not in good terms with my parents. I had no friends prior to our accidental meeting. Everything hap
'Daddy!' The voice came again and and this time Louis pulled away. He pulled away just in time to see his six year old son running down the stairs and into his arms.'Travis?' Louis was as confused as anything.Wendy went into panic mood, covering herself as quickly as she could. But the boy had already seen her.'Daddy, why is she without clothes?' He pulled away from his father's embrace. 'Who is she?'Louis took a quick look at Wendy and swore under his breath. She was still struggling to get into her clothes.Louis turned him away from her 'Travis boy, how did you get here? What are you doing here.' he asked trying to distract him.'Mummy said-' The boy started to explain but was interrupted. 'Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Seems like we have had our family reunion without me.' Louis looked up and saw Rhoda descending from the stairs.'What the-' It couldn't be. He moved towards her quickly. 'What the hell are you doing in my house?'. Louis barked. 'Oh, keep your bad
Wendy was in front of the mirror when Louis walked. She watched him approach her through the reflection on the mirror. She looked away when their eyes met.He got to her, placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed her neck.'Wen' He said, rubbing her tensed shoulders. 'That is what Rhoda looks like?' She asked, avoiding his eyes. She busied herself with cleaning her makeup.'Uhuh?' Louis said. He waited for her to say something but she went mute. 'Is there something about what she looks like that you want to address?' He asked.'Address?' She shook her head. 'I'm just saying that she's beautiful.'Deep down, Wendy knew the word beautiful didn't do justice to a description of the woman outside her door. In fact, 'beautiful' was a modest word when it had to do with Rhoda. Rhoda was stunning. She had the build of a sexual goddess. Every feature on her face was so damn perfect. Every curve of her body was surreal.Wendy had been sitting in front of the mirror, since she had been asked t
'Nothing.' Rhoda shrugged 'Trav just needs his father to take him to school.'Louis saw red. 'You're sick!' He barked.'Mummy, you are sick?' Their startled son asked.'Travis boy,' Louis said, trying hard to control his breathing. 'Can you go to the sitting room and wait for both of us? I need to talk you mummy..'Louis waited till the bit left the room. 'Rhoda, what the hell is this?'Rhoda ignored his question and strolled further into the room. She stopped just at the foot of the bed. Rhoda looked at Wendy condescendingly. Wendy hugged the sheets tightly.'I see you've brought her up here. Is that what you do? Call her whenever you need her to satisfy your sexual appetite?'Do not fucking try to change the subject . What the hell is this?' Louis barked.Rhoda lazily dragged her eyes away from Wendy and focused on Loyis. 'I thought we talked about this last night.''And because of that discussion, I didn't expect you to be here asking me to fucking take the boy to school.' Louis
Immediately Rhoda left, a Louis grabbed his bag and made to leave the room. Wendy held him.'Louis, are you okay?' She asked.'Do I look fine? Are you just dumb or you are just trying to get me even more upset?' He asked sharply.Wendy was startled. Her hand dropped to her sides.'You don't have to speak to me like that.' She fired. 'I am not the cause of your problems. Am i wrong for trying to find out if you're fine?'Louis opened his mouth to reply but his ringing phone interrupted him. With one look at Wendy, he answered the call.'Father.' He walked off. 'I just spoke to Rhoda. Meet me in JJW Resorts in five minutes.' The man ordered from the phone.'Fucking hell!' Louis swore. He threw his phone into the passenger side of the car before getting into it.Wendy did not know how to feel. He had just gone from sweet and sexy to being so irritant and vile towards her. She knew he was upset but she hadn't done anything wrong trying to find out if he was okay. Her cellphone rang imme
When Louis got back to his office, he was already exhausted. He sank into his office chair and Barbara came walking in hurriedly.'What took you so long? You had a meeting with-' Barbara asked him angrily 'The old Evanston CEO?' He finished for her. 'Considering how you disappeared from the restaurant the other day, the least you could have done was come for the damn meeting. The man left here, feeling insulted.' Barbara complained.'B, I seriously and honestly don't care about Evanston at this point. Well you should have called me.''Check your fucking phone. If you had, you would know I called you over fifteen times.' She said.'I was not in the position to check phones for calls. Rhoda showed up at my house, yesterday.' He said resignedly.'Rhoda. As in, baby mama Rhoda?' Barbara sat'Yup, that Rhoda.' Louis nodded.'I thought she was terrified of you. She painted that picture so well that most people believe you would kill her if you set eyes on her.' Barbara asked.'Apparently
Slowly, Wendy got up. She walked to the door and threw it open. 'Leave my room please.'Louis didn't move. 'Babe, you are not helping me here. What exactly do you want from me? Let me fucking do it. I don't like this.''Just leave, please.' Wendy repeated.He got up, and walked to the door. He stopped right where she stood. He stared down at her but she wouldn't even look at him. He took a deep breath, and lifted her chin with a finger.'Babe, tell me what I can do to make this right. I don't want to fight with you.' He pleaded.She shook her head, freeing herself from the little grasp of his finger. 'You all treat me like trash.' She said walking away from the door. She sat in her bed, swinging her legs angrily.Louis turned. 'How? You're not trash. You are my wife.''Nonsense. You all just know how to pretend like you care until a situation shows your true intentions.''Babe, what's this 'you all' you keep saying? Is there someone else other than me? Or is it just me? Babe?'He
