Chapter 2: Save my marriage
Chantel drop the juice on the drawer beside Claire bed and Claire continue to stare at her and Chantel notice that Claire was staring at her and she wonders why Claire is staring at her that way.
“ Ma’am Claire!” She says and Claire caution her self from starting at her.
“ Yes Chantel!” Claire replied.
“ Are you ok ma’am?” She ask and Claire stare at her and she smiled.
“ Yes, I am ok. Why do you ask?” Claire ask.
“ You were staring at me few minutes ago and it looks weird to me” she says and Claire smiled and she walks to the drawer and she took her juice and she sip.
“ I am just wondering what a poor orphan young girl like you is doing in my house working as a maid” she says and Chantel gets shocked and wonders why she thought of this now.
“ Ma’am, I don’t understand. I have been working for you for the past two years now and that was when I was fifteen and I told you that I needed this job to take of my self” she says and Claire stare at her and she smiled.
“ I know all of that dear and that is why I would love to help you if you want” she says and Chantel smiled.
“ Wow ma’am, I will be glad if you help me and I promise I will pay with any you want” she says and Chantel smiled.
“ Humm… I wish you could but what you will pay me back with will be what I wish for and I am sure you will not says no to it” she says and Chantel smile.
“ No ma’am why will I says no to it?” She says.
“ Do you promise not says no to it?” She ask and Chantel thought of what it could be.
“ I don’t know what it is ma’am” she says and Claire sip her juice.
“ I thought you said you will do anything to pay me back” she says and Chantel nods.
“ Yes, I said so but I am scared what this would be” she says and Claire walks closer to her.
“ Would like to go back to school and also be on your own and also stop working as maid for me?”she ask and Chantel nods her head.
“ Yes ma’am, I would like that ma’am” she replied.
“ Good, I will do all of that for you but I need a little favor from you” she says and Chantel wonders what he could be.
“ What is it you want me to do for me ma’am?” She ask.
“ I want you to have my husband to yourself tonight, I want him to get you pregnant” she says and Chantel gets shocked.
“ Ma’am, it’s seems you do not understand what you are saying ma’am” she says and Claire smiled.
“ I am not crazy Chantel, I know what I am saying fully well, I want you to have him for just this night, I remember you said you were on menstruation few days ago and I am sure by now you should be in your ovulation period, I want you to get pregnant for my husband but the child will be mind when you give birth and my husband will not know about this or anyone else it will be between we both only” she says and Chantel stare at her and she thought in her mind matte it’s some kid of a test.
“ Ma’am, is this some kind of a test, but I will not fall for it because I can’t afford to lose my job, I am homeless and helpless” she says.
“ This is not a test Chantel, it’s a offer from me to you and it’s help from you to me to pay me back, this is what I want and I want tou help me, I want to make you have home and you should be helpful to yourself and also you should have a good education, please do this for me” she says and Chantel says.
“ How will you husband have sex with me that he wouldn’t know?” Chantel ask.
“ I have an idea for that, you should not worry” Claire says.
“ If you are thinking of using sleeping pills then it won’t work because I am sure his manhood won’t work at that time” Chantel says.
“ I have a good plan not a sleeping pills but a pills that will make him want to have sex but you are going to be on mask and a pills that will not let him recognize it’s me, the only thing will be on his brain it’s sex” Claire says.
“ I think I need to think about this ma’am and also you told me to prepare dinner for Mr Henry so I will go do that” she says and she was about to leave and Claire stop her.
“ No need, I will tell Lily to do that” she says and Claire walks closer to her.
“ Chantel! Please save my marriage. Remember I helped you when you needed help the most even when my husband said we shouldn’t employ you that you are to young for this job but I had to plead my husband and gave you shelter so please me and save my marriage, people must not laugh at me, I don’t want loose my husband, you know among all the walker we have you are the only one that sleeps in the house apart from the security man, all the other maid leave but I allowed you because you needed shelter please do not let me down” she says and Chantel stare at her.
“ Why do I have to do this? Can’t you do it?” She ask and Claire stare at her.
“ If only I can, I wouldn’t be asking for your help. The doctor said that I am barren and I do not want family to know about this and Henry’s family as well, I want you to keep secret, the doctor, you and me only know about my child bearing status, I will offer you one million dollars, just do this for me Chantel” she says and Chantel stare at her.
“ Ma’am! Could you give me a little time to think about this?” She ask and Claire nods.
“ Yes, I will but I want you to give me a feedback before Henry comes back home because I want you with him this night” she says and Chantel left the room and Claire hopes that she is doing the right thing and she drinks her juice and she pick up her car keys from the side of the drawer and ruse out of the room, she thought of going to the pharmacy incase Chantel says yes, she agrees, she walks downstairs and she saw Lily and Chantel was already in the living room.
“ Lily! I want you to make my husband favorite, he will be back home this evening and when you are done please you can go back home early because I would like to be with my husband and tell the others workers the same, I wouldn’t want disturb, I am going out now and I will be back soon” she says and she walks out and Chantel ran after her and she stop her.
“ Ma’am! Where are you going to?” She ask.
“ I am going to the pharmacy to get what I told you about and I am sure you will not say no” she says and Chantel stare at her and she walks to her car and was about to enter the driver stop her.
“ Ma’am, I am supposed to be your driver and drive you wherever you want ma’am” the driver says.
“” I know that well Samuel, I did not forget that you are my driver but please, I need to drive alone this time around, I will be back soon” she says and the drive nods.
“ As you wish ma’am” he says and Claire and Chantel stare at each other and Claire smiled and she opens the door of the car and she enters the car and she drove off and Chantel walks back in to the house and she walks straight to her room to think about what Claire said.
“ Since it’s only to sleep with her husband and get pregnant that should not be an issue, I will do it and give myself a better life, one millionaire dollars isn’t a small money, I will accept the offer, I won’t have to work as a maid anymore” she says speaking to herself.
“ I will says yes to this offer, I am an orphan and I don’t have anyone” she says speaking to herself.
The maid finish preparing the dinner and left and it’s already evening and Claire drives back home and Chantel heard the on if car and she ran out of her room and Claire walks into the living room and she saw Chantel.
“ I will do it ma’am, I accept the offer” she says and Claire smiled.
“ I know you will says yes to my offer” she says and Chantel smile.

You know what, go straight to your room, I will call you when it’s time” she says and Chantel smiled and she left and Claire wake outside and Henry gets down from the car and she ran to him and she kiss him on the lips and she hugs him. “ Welcome back home honey” she says and she takes his briefcase from him.“ Where is Chantel or the other maids? They’d Gould be the one to carry the briefcase” he says and Claire smiles.“ No sweetheart, let me do this, I send all the maids home, I told them to close early for work today” she says and Henry wonders why.“ But why?” He ask.“ Because I want to spend the whole evening with you and also the whole night, you know the maids whenever they are around, they are always distracting with one thing or the other so that is why I tone them to go home” she says and Henry smiles.“ What about Chant

Chantel It’s Tuesday the twentieth of December, and a gorgeous early summer afternoon in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.I don’t visit the city much, so I’m glad my sister has chosen this café on the waterfront, not far from Te Papa, our national museum. We sit at a table outside, overlooking Lambton Harbour. The water is a sparkling blue, reflecting the clear skies. At the table next to us, a group of businessmen and women in smart suits chat over a working lunch. Families and couples on holiday stroll along the waterfront, while a teenager dressed in shorts and a hot-pink vest weaves between them on rollerblades.“So,” my sister says once the waiter has delivered our meals and lattes. “Are you ready to get laid?”“Henry!” Giving an embarrassed laugh, I dart a glance at the people next to us, relieved they didn’t hear her. “For God’s sake, keep your voice down.”She helps herself to the bowl of chunky chips in the middle of the table. “Relax, girl. Nobody’s going to be
Claire, no guy is going to be interested in going with a virgin. It’s not the commodity it used to be. Guys want girls who are experienced and fun in bed. When I meet the right man, I want to know what I’m doing.”“Hmm, yeah, I get that.”“I mean, you weren’t going steady the first time you slept with someone, right?”Her lips twist. “No. It was at a party. You’re right, I just wanted to get it done.”“Exactly. The same for me.”Because I’ve looked after our mother full time since I was sixteen, I’ve been unable to go to university, to have a proper job, or to enter the dating game. I was determined that Claire would get to have the opportunities I missed out on, which is why, when she finishes her degree, she’s insisting on returning home to help share Mum’s care. It means I might be able to enter the dating game eventually. But when I do, I don’t want to go in blind.“So you’re not going to tell him today?” she confirms.“Hell, no. He’ll probably run a mile. I might say somet
Finally, I come to the conclusion that he’s not messaging back anytime soon. Ghosted on my first attempt. I sigh, toss the phone on the bed, grab my book, turn off the TV, and start reading. Within five minutes, I’ve dozed off. I wake about an hour later. It’s warm in the room, and I have a slight headache, but I feel a whole lot better when I look at my phone and discover I have another match, and he’s already sent me a message. His name’s Tim, and he’s the first guy I swiped right on. He’s twenty-six, a dentist, he plays Minecraft, and he likes Andrew. Oh well. Here goes. Andrew:Hey! Looks like He used punctuation and a smiley emoji. Things are looking up! Me:Yeah. You are my lucky star! Tim:LOL wot? Shit. Me:Sorry, it’s a quote from Andrew. Ripley sings the song at the end? Tim:Oh yeah, sorry, I haven’t watched it for ages. LOL cool. You into sci-fi? Me:Yes, and fantasy. Books and movies. You? Tim:Yeah, some, I like horror movies mainly. I’m not a big fan of horror, bu
We exchange a smile, and he leaves the room.I sit back for a moment, my smile fading. Somehow, he managed to sidestep the dating arena by knocking a girl up on a one-night stand and then having her turn up on his doorstep four months later, pregnant with his twins. I’m genuinely thrilled he’s found himself a girl he seems crazy about, but it’s impossible not to feel a touch of envy.It’s been a few months since I had a woman in my bed, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss sex. I don’t miss the emotional turbulence that always seems to accompany dating, though. I wish I could jump to the four-month stage and have done with the getting-to-know-you part.Sighing, I return my attention to the financial report, and I’m a good three-quarters through before I’m interrupted again by the phone on myI check the display and see it’s an internal call—my younger brother, Damon.I pick up the receiver and say, “Yo,” my standard, somewhat unprofessional greeting to my siblings.“My office
I watch a blackbird hop along the window ledge before it takes off and soars toward the park.“I wanted to wish you happy birthday,” Lily says.I lean an elbow on the arm of my chair and rest my head on my hand. “My birthday’s tomorrow.”“Oh… It’s the twenty-first, isn’t it? Shit.” She got the day wrong every year we were together.“Yeah, but thanks anyway.” I wait for her to suggest hooking up again. Be strong, Kip.“I wanted to tell you before someone else did,” she says. “I’m getting married.”I go still. Then, slowly, I sit up. “Oh. Okay.”“His name’s Henry Williams —and no, it’s not the actor, they just share the name. He’s an architect, and we’re really happy together.”“Congratulations.”“Shit, I didn’t mean to say it like that. You make me nervous.”“Why?”“I don’t know. You always make me feel as if you’re going to tell me off.”I lift my glasses onto my hair and massage the bridge of my nose. “I appreciate you letting me know, and I wish you all the happiness in
