I didn’t know when we arrived at his mansion as I had fallen asleep in the car, Carlos was right about me needing some rest. As promised, he woke me up and waited till I was wide awake before helping me out of the car. He was acting like I was a sick patient or something, at least it was working in my favor so I shouldn’t complain.When we both got the doorstep, Laura had been waiting for us even as the time was way past midnight, I figured Carlos must have called and told her everything while I was asleep.I tried to look pitiful and tiresome as Laura pulls me into a hug, I still do not like her close to me not to think of her touching me but I couldn’t resist and just played along. Just like Carlos had asked if I was alright several times, Laura had done the same.I don’t understand what their problem but I am sure I made it clear that I was fine, maybe they just love to get into people’s good books all the time.Laura asks if I had anything to eat and that she could ask their live-

Dawn came in sooner than I thought. I spent my night rolling around the bed not been able to sleep as my mind were clouded with thoughts about Vanessa’s killer coming to hunt me.The possibility that my like might have been cut short from me last night and then the revenge I came all the way here for won’t happen again.

The Seductress TWENTY TWO
The tour ended immediately I set my eyes on a cabinet that held a photo frame of my former self, candles were lit and flowers surrounded it. This was placed in a much private area away from the living room.I looked at myself for a while as I was building up intense anger, it hurt me so much because I saw no use of this. What were they trying to prove? Huh?What is all this?! I hollered within me as tears started falling from my eyes, I felt I was been mocked by them because they lack no right to lit a candle for me.I fell to my knees breaking down in tears, Laura had laid comforting hand on my shoulder thinking that I was crying over my dead friend, I shrugged it off, immediately wiping my tears with my hand.I was determined to leave until when Laura said, “She was my best friend and I loved her so much”“Which was why you married her husband?” I blurted rudely, having no control of myself as I added, “I mean, it wasn’t up to a year before you married Carlos, was it?”I know my que

It hasn’t even been a day since I came here, and am already noticing how angsty Laura gets over her son’s illicit behaviors when it came to the workers.

Abigail didn’t seem to reject as he return focus to the book he was reading which was about little women, literally.For a moment there I thought that I might have won him over,

While Mr. Whites and Carlos discussed business in the living room, Laura and Sasha did a bit of catching up as they laughed and giggled talking about their children and how they couldn’t wait for them to be finally be together.I sat with the ladies, listening to every of their conversation, I couldn’t relate as it had nothing to do with me or anything that could probably surround the lifestyle I was living now.Sasha made a few side comments when talking Laura, throwing shades at me because they were married, she said something like, “Us married women…” like who does that! I was once married too, you idiots! That fool, stays there laughing like she isn’t a husband snatcher her self. I didn’t mind them as I was more concerned about eavesdropping on the conversation Selma and Abigail were having in his room.
