The following night, Lara had tailed Joseph to a club with her friend. They sat at a distant end while they glared at a particular corner. "Common, are we going to seat here while you smile and flirt with that guy all night? He hasn’t glanced your way even once!" Daisy asked Lara curiously. "We are not living here until I have found out what secret Carlos is keeping," Lara responded to her friend. "And how sure are you that he would give in to you? He doesn't even know you!" Daisy exclaimed as Lara stood up from her chair before speaking. "Oh well, I would like to introduce myself to him." She uttered before cat walking towards the corner where Joseph had three girls with skimpy clothing clustered around him. "Drink up girls!" The voice of Joseph uttered cheerfully."You know what, you girls are just too beautiful." He lamented but his attention was soon diverted when a hand tapped his shoulder making him swirl around. "Guess what, you forgot to wear something?" Lara said with a
Meanwhile, Miriam sat at the dining table while staring at the tea in front of her in deep thought but the voice of her sister had brought her back from all her thinking. "Miriam dear, why are you so up early?" Eleanor questioned as she glared at the clock on the wall."To be sincere, I wasn't able to sleep a wink last night. I kept thinking about Carlos's bad dreams he had been having recently, he always seemed so scared." Miriam said putting her hands on her jaw with an unhappy expression. "You can't blame your husband. He is always busy and might have so many things on his mind. That might have been the reason why he had been having all this horrible nightmare." Eleanor told her. "That was exactly what I told him but it seems like something bigger is bothering him. Asive he is hiding something from me, like something he can't tell me!" Miriam told her sister while careesing her exposed arms. "Miriam, you have known your husband for a long time. You know that he would never hide
"Miriam had fixed some snacks to take over to Carlos and his friend when she stopped to eavesdrop on what they were discussing. Not that she wanted to but the discussion they were having seemed so serious and heated that it had made her very much curious!"It's a good thing that your mum gave you some money but what about the rest? How the hell are you going to get the remaining two point five million without your mother knowing!" His friend exclaimed."Yeah, but I can still sell off some of the properties right?" Carlos said."Are you crazy? You would definitely end up in the street if your mother finds out." Jeffery uttered. "Jeffery, I would lose Miriam if Joseph began to talk. I would rather lose all the riches and go poor as long as I am with them, I can't live in this grand mansion without my wife and daughter. It would be a waste," He told his friend and Miriam had decided to go back to the kitchen with the snack. THE FOLLOWING DAYThe next day, Miriam had gone out with her f
Miriam had just gotten back home from shopping with Doris who just couldn't stop herself from smiling widely. "Oh my God, I must have been lucky to have a rich friend. I get to go shopping while she buys me all these things! It's like every day is Christmas." Doris had said and that had ignited a chuckle from Miriam."I think I need to go home to try all of this wonderful stuff you bought me, I know that they would look nice on me!" Doris said while hugging her friend. "Hey, my driver here can take you home," Miriam suggested kindly. "No, you don't need to bother because I would be fine! I will see you tomorrow." Doris said before leaving and at that point in time. Christian came down from his car he had parked at a distance before walking towards Miriam. "Miriam," he called and that had ignited a frown on her face when she laid eyes on him. "Christian, what on earth are you doing here again?" She blatantly asked. "You aren't answering any of my calls or text messages. I got so
"What, how did Lara know that you were the one who had raped Miriam? Did you tell her?" Jeffery asked Carlos who looked tensed up. "Look, I can't obviously be that stupid to have told her anything. I really don't know how she found out." Carlos spoke out as he walked around the office. "Joseph is the only one who knows right?" Jeffery implored. "What if he had told her?" Jeffery expanded smartly. "But Lara doesn't know Joseph, what more? Why would Joseph tell her about this, what would he gain?" Carlos questioned his friend."You know what? This is getting way more complicated than I ever thought. Especially now that someone else knows about your secret!" His friend uttered. "I'm not going to give in to Lara, I know that I'm not supposed to lie. Especially to my wife!" Carlos voiced out. "But do you have a choice?" Jeffery lamented. "You expect me to keep this away from Miriam forever? If I tell her the entire truth, I know that she would detest me. Buddy, I can't live without
The following day. Miriam and Doris had gone to a particular house in their avenue, she walked towards the pouch before pressing the house bell outside the door for the owner of the building to know that someone was outside their house waiting."Miriam, what are we doing in This house?" Doris had asked her keenly."I just honestly want to know if the owner of this house is truly Joseph's friend." She responded briskly as the door of the house made some cracking sounds that had gained both their attention."Yes, how can I help you!" The lady in her early fifties uttered. Miriam sighed before smiling charmingly at her. "Uhm__ sorry to bother you, I'm a friend of Joseph!" Miriam spoke up politely. "Joseph?" The lady repeated. "You see, he is a very good friend of ours and we honestly don't have an idea of where he lives!" Miriam said smartly. "I'm sorry but we don't have a Joseph that is here or one that we know!" The lady told them plainly. "Is that so, well, thank you!" Doris sa
However, Christian had stopped by at the station. He had gone straight to the lieutenant's office to discuss a few things with him."I would like to see the little evidence you accumulated when you found Miriam. I just feel like it may help in finding the victim in the ongoing case of Miriam!" Christian pointed out and that had ignited a small scoff from the lieutenant. "I'm very sorry sir but those things are considered confidential. We can't just show them to anybody who just asks for them!" The officers blurted out and that had ignited a fumed expression from Christain. "But Romeo, I was the first one you talked to regarding this case, I have helped so much in this case!" Christian exclaimed."But that was the past sir, right now. You are no longer involved with Miriam!" The officer told him plainly. Christian scoffed in annoyance. He turned around to leave but not without calling the eyes and mouse he had in the station. Presently, he was seated in his car with the officer wh
The sun was just setting out and Carlos had gone over to Joseph's house to confront him very early in the morning. He kept banging on the door of his apartment while he bellowed angrily. The door finally pulled open as an unfamiliar face came into view. It was a lady in her late thirties who had opened the door Rather than Joseph who he was looking for."Where the hell is Joseph, I want to speak with him." He asked still fuming in anger. "I'm sorry but the person you are lookingfor does not live here anymore." The lady told him."When did he leave this place and to where?" Carlos asked more calmly while he glared at the lady in front of him intently."I don't have an idea, he had left in a hurry!" The lady in a red flowery gown told him clearly. To this, Carlos undoubtedly ruffled his hair in more frustration."Thank you!" He told the lady before leaving to pick up Jeffery from his apartment. Soon, they were both seated in his car while they head to work."Miriam had recognized J
