View MoreIt was a bright sunny afternoon.
A car stopped in front of a building,its driver side open and a lady in her early twenties stepped out. She looks so beautiful in her simple yet elegant outfit.
She wore a black, knee-high fitted gown,silver heels and a bag to match. Her simple necklace looks tiny but clearly expensive. Everything speaks of luxury.
She entered the building and was greeted by all the workers in the house. She was ushered in without any disturbance as she was already familiar with everyone in the house.
She was engaged to their boss and was respected by everyone. She has been calling her fiancé for hours for a scheduled lunch date but he didn’t pick his calls and did not show up at the date either,so she decided to visit him at home.
She went straight to his room as she didn’t see him in the sitting room.
She saw a lady’s purse on the couch and while she was starting to wonder what a lady’s bag was doing in her fiancé’s house,she started hearing sounds from upstairs and the situation suddenly dawned on her. “Her fiancé is cheating on her”. He has been acting weird lately so she expected it. She was not in love with him,it was a marriage arranged by both families for the sake of friendship.She walked slowly and quietly to his room and saw the door half opened.
She could hear the lady moaning loudly.
“Mmmm,ahhh,gosh!!!!”
The bed moving continuously under the assault on top of it echoed in the entire room as they went on.
Their sounds reverberated in the entire room. Each thrust given and met brought a creaking sound to the poor bed and their moans echoed louder. Their labored breathing and panting could be matched with their erroneous exercise. Their bodies glistened as they bathed in their own sweat. They’ve obviously been having sex for hours.
She opened the door widely and kept on watching them from the entrance. She relaxed her back on the wall and continued enjoying the scenario in front of her not being aware of the surprise that awaits her.
She was not interested in the engagement but she had no choice but to listen to her father,the only person who had treated her as a human being ever since she was born. She believed love is an important thing in a marriage.
She wanted to get married to someone she loves,but she couldn’t bring it up with her father as she did not want to disappoint him.
She clapped her hands loudly for them to hear as she noticed that they still didn’t realize her presence in the room.
The couple stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to see who had dared to enter the room and intrude on their sexual activity.
She was shocked to see the lady in front of her.
“Jenny!!” Ann screamed.
“Ben,how dare you? You cheated on me with my own sister?” She said,
Both Jenny and Ben,instead of being shocked and apologetic,started laughing.
Ann was shocked to see them laughing.
“Why are you laughing in this situation? Do you even know what you’re doing?” Jenny,this is my fiancé we are talking about. Are you not ashamed of yourself?” Ann said.
“Why should I be ashamed? I’m only laughing because it took you long enough to finally find out. It’s for the best. I was tired of sneaking around.” Jenny replied
“Are you even trying to be funny? Even if it’s a marriage of convenience, I still can’t get married to an illegitimate child. You’re nothing but a bastard. I have worked hard with my father to build this company and I can’t allow you or anyones else to stain that reputation.” Ben replied.
“Did you expect him to choose you over me? You need to wake up from that dream Ann. You don’t belong here. A dirty slit like you do not deserve Ben. You belong to the trash.” Jenny said.
Ann was determined to make a scene initially to use that as an excuse to leave the relationship but with her step sister's involvement,she is relieved as it will become easier for the engagement to get called off. She had to act as if she was hurt just to make things less complicated for herself.
“So this has been going on for a while? I can’t believe you two. I believe this is the end of this relationship. Ann said, looking at Ben.
“I had broken up with you a long time ago. Did you just realize that? Ben said.
“Ohh,the lunch date right? Is that why you’re here? Because he didn’t show up? I sent you that message, not him. Let’s end this once. And if possible,disappear from my life please. I’m tired of seeing your face. Jenny said to Ann.
“Fine. I’m out of here”. Ann said,finally relieved as she had gotten what she wanted. She left the room satisfied as she no longer has to marry someone like Ben but she was not happy because her own step sister Jenny is the other woman.
Jenny stood up after she left and locked the door to avoid any other problem. She went back to Ben, closing the gap between them and kissed him on his lips and they continued from where they stopped.
Ann drove out of the compound and went straight to her best friend’s house to relax before going home. She knows what is going to happen to her in that house after everything that happened earlier. Her step mom and her daughter will definitely deal with her and she’s not ready for it.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming,what happened?”.I thought you were supposed to go on a lunch date with Ben? So what are you doing here?” Martha asked her.
“He didn’t show up” Ann replied.
“I don’t understand,he sent you a text saying he wants to have lunch with you. You canceled our plans for him and yet he didn’t show up? Have you tried calling him?” Martha asked.
“ I called him countless times but he didn’t pick up. So I went to his house to check up on him and find out why he didn’t show up” Ann said
“And what excuse did he give you for not showing up?” Martha said
“Excuse? You wish” Ann replied sarcastically.
“I met him having sex with another woman in his room”
“What!!!!” Martha said, surprised.
“Yes Martha. And guess who the woman was” Ann said waiting for Martha’s reply.
“Just tell me who it is. You know I can’t guess”. She replied
“ It's Jenny.” Ann said.
“ which Jenny again? Your step sister??” Martha said.
“Yes. And apparently,she was the one that sent the text so that I caught them in the act.” Jenny said
That lady is a bitch. How can she stoop so low? I’m not even surprised.” Martha said.
Ann narrated everything that happened at Ben’s house to Martha.
“I knew Ben was up to no good. He’s just an animal. But Jenny is on another level. How can she be having sex with your fiancé?Martha said.
“Ex- fiancé you mean. He called off the engagement. I’m finally free from that bondage.” Ann said.
“Yeah,finally. Let’s just hope another man won’t show up for an arranged marriage again. Your dad should really allow you to get a man for yourself instead of linking you up with his friend’s children.” Martha said.
“I wish. I just want my Mr.right to come soon,so that I can be free for good.” Ann added.
“I’m sure he will. Very soon”. Martha said
“You’re talking as if you already have someone in mind,” Ann said jokingly.
“I don’t but I’m sure you will find someone soon. You deserve better than Ben.” Martha said.
“Forget about Ben. I’m starving,do you have food at home?”. Ann asked.
“Let me ask someone to prepare something for you. Are you going home today?” Martha asked, looking worried.
Ann and Martha have been best of friends since high school. They confide in each other and tell each other everything. Martha and her dad have been the only people by her side as her step mom and her step sister are bent on making life a living hell for her.
“Yeah. Let me just face it once and for all. You know I can’t escape it no matter how long I try to avoid them. Just give me food so that I can have enough strength to fight.” Ann replied laughing.
Few hours later, a lady brought two plates of rice to them and they ate quietly. They chatted for a while and they both slept off for a few hours.
It was quite late when they woke up,Ann dressed up and was ready to leave. Martha escorted her to her car.
“Call me if anything happens okay” Martha said.
“Sure”. Ann replied as she drove out of the compound.
“He has a female best friend???” Martha and Ann chorused. Somehow they were shocked to hear that. Ann thought Henry doesn’t have any other friends other than Ethan because he has never talked about any one else. She didn’t bother to ask him because she also doesn’t have anyone else other than Martha. And now she’s finding out that he has another friend and not just any friend,a female best friend and that threw her off her feet.“Why are you guys so shocked to hear that? Is it a crime to have a female best friend?” Henry asked “Yes it is.” Martha said “I don't understand, why is that?” Henry asked “You have a girlfriend,so she should be your best friend too. Having another female best friend asides her can make her feel insecure.” Martha said “I still don’t understand how having a female best friend can make her feel insecure. She’s just a friend.” Henry said “Just like you said earlier as a joke although I’m not sure, how do you think she will feel if she visits you and she meet
“Wait,don’t tell me Ethan is the guy she told me about?” Ann said looking surprised.“What did she tell you about him?” Henry said “Nothing much. Just that they’ve been going out everyday ever since they met. So I definitely know about him.” Ann said “Well,he told me about a lady but I don’t know her name and I’ve never seen her before. Moreover you also didn’t introduce your friend to me.” Henry said “I wanted to but she's busy with the shoot. Well,you’re meeting her today.” Ann said “Yeah,let’s go in.” Henry said They walked in just when they were concluding the shoot. Martha saw her and walked towards her,same with Henry. “How come you guys are here together? Do you have to go everywhere with your girlfriend?” Ethan said and hugged Ann. “How have you been?” Ann asked him. “I’m okay.” Ethan replied “Do you guys know each other?” Martha asked, confused about what’s going on. “Ohh,I’m sorry. Let me do the introduction,(she grabbed Henry’s hand) this is Henry,my boyfriend. A
“This lady in question is a model. I met her on set today.” Ethan said.“Really? So you’re going back on your words now?” Henry said “For her,yes. She’s worth doing that for.” Ethan replied“You met her today. Are you sure it’s safe for you to drool over her like this? You don’t even know her that well.” Henry said out of concern for his friend. “We went out for a drink and we talked about so many things. She’s not one of those ladies that go out with so many friends. She said she has just one best friend and she’s also a general manager in her father’s company. Imagine a young lady like that with two careers and she’s doing well with it.” Ethan said “My girlfriend is also a career woman. So don’t brag in front of me. She’s not even your girlfriend yet.” Henry said “Very soon. You know I don’t fail when it comes to ladies.” Ethan said “Yeah, I trust you on that. When are you going to introduce her to me?” Henry asked “So fast? Did you introduce your girlfriend to me as soon as y
“You couldn’t say no to him but you didn’t think twice when you sent me a text to cancel our plans? You sly.” Ann said “Why are you being difficult? Just think of it as an emergency.” Marta said “It’s fine. I enjoyed myself too.” Ann said “That’s true. Why are you just coming back?” Martha said “Think of it as an emergency too.” Ann said smiling.“You went out with Henry?” Martha asked “Yes.” Ann replied “Are you guys really dating now?” Martha asked “Well,yes. We settled our differences and he asked me to be his girlfriend. No,he asked me to be his woman.” Ann said proudly. Martha screamed excitedly. “I’m so happy for you.” Martha said “And,he apologized for not recognizing me when we met. He actually lost his memory of that night and the little he remembered was useless. He couldn’t find anything to trace me.” Ann said. She briefed Martha on everything that happened. The date,the settings of the place,how he apologized and lastly how he asked her to be his woman.“And what
Monday morning at Henry’s office.Henry called Bryan.“Come to my office now.” Henry said and dropped the telecom immediately,not waiting for his reply. “Hello sir.” Bryan said when he got to Henry’s office. “Hey Bryan. I need you to do something for me.” Henry said “Alright sir,what is it?” Bryan replied. “Annabel has a younger sister,do you know that?” Henry asked “Yes sir. I found out about it when I did some background investigation on her.” Bryan replied “Okay. So I want you to find out everything about her sister,and also her relationship with Annabel. I just want to know everything about her, even her favorite restaurant should be included.” Henry said “Okay sir.” Bryan replied “That’s not all. She got engaged last weekend, I want you to find out everything,I repeat everything about that guy. Don’t leave out any information. Do you understand?” Henry said “Yes sir.” Bryan replied “I want this report on my table before Friday. You can leave now.” Henry said. “Alright,
He moved closer to her a little bit and drew her to him till there was no space between them. He took one of his hands and placed it on her chin rubbing it softly,he brought his face closer to hers and kissed her again. The kiss was more intense this time. They both forgot every other thing and focused on each other,Ann wrapped her hands around his neck and as they kissed so deeply. Henry moved his hands gently from her waist down to her hips, he caressed her hips moving his hands on the unclothed parts of her thighs. He slipped his hand gently under her gown touching her bare body causing Ann to suddenly break from the kiss holding his hand. He expected her to stop him like the last time or get angry but he was wrong. Ann stared into his eyes and kissed him back while releasing his hand,she parted her legs a little bit giving him the full access to touch her. Henry was excited to see that and he was quick to make use of the opportunity. He brought his other hand down to her second
“Will you be my woman?” Henry said. Ann opened her mouth in surprise. She might have acted like she didn’t care in front of Martha but she actually wished he would ask her out which he just did but she never expected him to say it in such a sweet and romantic way. It took her a while before she could say anything.“What! I’m sorry about that, I wasn’t yelling at you. I just…… I don’t know.” Ann said, stammering.“I know I took you by surprise and I’m sorry about that. I just couldn’t keep it to myself anymore.” Henry said “No,you don’t have to apologize,you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just being overly dramatic right now. I guess I’ve been single for too long,I’m not used to this.” Ann said “I’m not putting pressure on you. You don’t have to force yourself to give me a reply right now, you can take your time. I just want you to know how I feel about you.” Henry said “You’re not pressuring me. Let me start by thanking you for coming out clean about that night. I know how hard it m
“It’s about what actually happened three years ago.” Henry said and Ann looked so surprised. She wondered what he was going to talk about. “What about it?” Ann said “Before I proceed, I want to apologize to you for the way I reacted when you tried to talk about it the first time we met. I didn’t expect to see someone who knows about that night in such a place.”Henry said “You’ve apologized to me already, why are you bringing it up again?” Ann said “It seems you’re not listening to me. The thing is, I regained my memory of that night.” Henry said“What memory are you talking about? Can you please talk in a way that I will understand instead of going through corners?” Ann said “Okay. I lost my memory of that night. I couldn’t remember anything when I woke up the next morning ,not even how I got there. I was going to ask you about it but I had an emergency. I received a call from home that my mom passed away that morning so I had to leave immediately. The duvet was covering your f
“I will doll you up so pretty that he will be so mesmerized when he sees you.” Martha said “I hope so too. I want to impress him but I don’t want to do too much.” Ann said “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Martha said “Let’s just take a nap for about an hour or two. I’m really exhausted.” Ann said Martha agreed and they took a nap for about two hours. By the time they woke up,it was about two hours to the time she was supposed to meet Henry. She got up immediately and went into the bathroom to take her bath. She woke Martha up after she finished bathing for her to help her dress up. Martha started with her make up,it was a light make-up just as Ann wanted it. She styled her hair in a ponytail with three partings by the left side of the hair. Ann wore her dress and a pair of earrings to fit. She brought out pencil heels and a bag to match. By the time they finished their dressing,Henry’s driver was already at Martha’s gate. Martha escorted Ann to the door.“Why do I feel so n
