“Did Marie tell you anything? That bitch… I’ll kill her with my own hands,” Bajie swore angrily.

I clenched my fists in anger. It was saddening… no, frustrating to see the person my best friend had spent so much on.

“What do you mean by that, Mr. Bajie?” Dr. Emily asked. “From what I heard, this person in question is your girlfriend.”

“Ex-girlfriend,” he corrected.

“Oh, you have the boundaries properly set already,” Dr. Emily replied, a smile on her face. He crossed his arms, confidenc

    BruceI wanted the kiss to continue… maybe escalate into something more. It didn’t and that’s just sad, I know.I would have to track down this man in question that caused me not to spend time with my wife. I called Joe via the burner phone he gave to me.“What’s up, prince charming?” he asked.“I need you to track someone’s whereabouts for me,” I requested.“That will cost you…” he was saying.“Oh, come on. I’m sure you know my net worth. Forget about the cost and get to work immediately. I will send you his name and picture,” I told him coolly.“Alright, I will work on it. Send what I need,” he replied.“How long will it take?” I asked. “Depends… Is it urgent?” he asked.“It is,” I replied impatiently.“Give me fifteen minutes,” he replied and then cut the call. It took around seven minutes before he called me back. He had what I needed by that time.“Go ahead,” I permitted.“He was last captured on a CCTV camera near WX Club. I believe he entered the club and hasn’t come out since

    Natasha “You must learn how to control your anger, Natasha,” Dr. Emily muttered.“Pouring a glass of water on his face was provocative. That wasn’t ladylike at all. Also, you got worked up too much in the conversation. I understand he is a jerk but you didn’t have to act like him.”I took a deep breath before replying. “That bastard…” I paused. “He broke my friend’s heart and who knows? He might be the end of her life. He is a devil.”“I’m not arguing about that. What I’m saying is that you should keep your cool next time,” Dr. Emily replied coolly.“Well, I’m not sure,” I shrugged.“As for your friend, we will have to find her some other way,” she muttered.“I am sure she will appear close to Bajie. She is obsessed with him. She will definitely go to see him,” I replied confidently.“That sounds like you are saying we should hire someone to follow Bajie around,” Dr. Emily muttered.“That’s what you think, Emily. Should we do that? I could make a call, make some arrangements…” I sugg

    Natasha “Did Marie tell you anything? That bitch… I’ll kill her with my own hands,” Bajie swore angrily.I clenched my fists in anger. It was saddening… no, frustrating to see the person my best friend had spent so much on.“What do you mean by that, Mr. Bajie?” Dr. Emily asked. “From what I heard, this person in question is your girlfriend.”“Ex-girlfriend,” he corrected.“Oh, you have the boundaries properly set already,” Dr. Emily replied, a smile on her face. He crossed his arms, confidence visible all over him.“She must be begging to have me back already. Did she try to commit suicide?” he asked. “Don’t tell me, did she die already?”“Scumbag!” I spat on him. His eyes reddened in anger and he raised his hands to hit me.Those hands never descended. He must have reconsidered midway. He should know I had a husband that would kill him if it ever got out that he hit me.“Get out of here, you wench, else I will kill you,” he threatened. Dr. Emily stepped in as calmly as she could.“

    Natasha “By any chance, can you help someone break free from a toxic err… obsessive relationship?” I asked carefully.Dr. Emily looked flustered the moment she heard that but she didn’t let that expression last long.“First of all, I need to know the victim,” she said carefully.“I’m not the one,” I replied.“Oh great,” she touched her chest. She sounded glad to hear it.Now I understood why she was flustered in the first place. She must have thought I was the victim with Bruce as the assailant. She asked now,“Who is the victim?”“A friend of mine,” I replied.“You don’t seem like the type to have a lot of friends,” she said carefully.“Well, you are right. This particular friend used to be my best friend until recently. Please don’t ask why we fell out. It’s extremely personal,” I told her firmly.“I won’t ask,” she replied. “After all, we are supposed to be helping your friend right now. Can you bring her to see me? I will see if I can help her after we meet.”I sighed. “I’m not s

    Natasha“I shouldn’t have confided in you in the first place. You are the one who caused this entire thing to happen,” she told me angrily.“How did I cause this? I didn’t…” I tried to say.“If you never asked us to leave the apartment, we would have never had issues with accommodation and I would never have been at his uncle’s place and he wouldn’t have asked me for sex either. You pushed us to the streets and now my whole life is messed up,” she told me without any hesitation.“I will accept that I am a little responsible for this,” I muttered.“Not little, everything in its entirety is your fault. Bajie broke up with me because of you,” she told me firmly.It would be hard to change what she firmly believed. I took a deep breath, knowing I had to be calm here. I should be her shelter right now, not the one who drives her away again.“Did you forget that he beat you up?” I asked carefully. “You can’t blame me for that. He did that because he was a terrible human being.” I tried to t

    Natasha “Are you okay?” I asked, holding her tightly.“No, I’m not,” she replied. Of course, she wasn’t okay. She was crying and shuddering like a leaf.“Come with me,” I led her into my car.That was when I figured out I couldn’t take her to the mansion. Also, I couldn’t take her somewhere public. The only choice I had was to take her to my own house, the place I had asked her to leave.I drove her there and opened the door. She looked away when I pressed the pass code. Of course, she must still bear grievances for the actions I took. I’m sure she wouldn’t blame me entirely. She was the cause of it.“The house is a little dusty… it wouldn’t be like this if someone lived there,” she muttered as we entered. It was truly dusty and I coughed a few times.I opened the window, offered her a seat and a bottle of water. Both of us sat opposite each other.“Will you tell me what happened between Bajie and you?” I asked carefully. She smiled,“I have no other friends but you, Natasha. At that

He still looked determined.Gregor still held onto me tightly. It was almost impossible for me to get out of his grip.I watched as Bru

It worried me greatly that he held the bottle like it was a weapon.“Fuck off!” He told me threateningly. Due to the
