Have you ever been in a state where you are bitten yet you feel no pain? That state where nothing matters and nothing hurts? Yes, numb; that would be how you'd describe Elizabeth state.She had not blinked her eyes since last night. She had not been able to sleep. She lied on her back all through and looked at the ceiling with her hands on her stomach. She had cried to the point tears were no longer coming out from her eyes to express her pain. Everything was dark to her and she looked for help. Victoria joyfully came into Elizabeth's room with a beaming smile on her face. She couldn't wait anymore to tell her friend what had happened to her last night with Mr Smith.When she came to look at Elizabeth, she saw her sleeping on her bed already so she closed her door gently and went to sleep. It was almost twelve last night when she came back home. She couldn't even close her eyes without remembering what happened.She had fun yesterday with Mr Smith. He had asked her to suggest a place
"I must say I got quite a shock when I saw your phone call, Victoria. It's been long, how have you been?" Landon asked.Victoria chuckled lightly as she helped herself sit on the chair in the VIP session of the bar. She had not expected Landon to tell her to meet him here. When she called him this morning, she wondered if she was supposed to have a talk with him after all he never confessed his feelings for her and she had no idea about anything so if she went ahead and dated Mr Smith, it wasn't her problem but then again she felt bad.Mr Smith felt he was the one that was supposed to have the talk with Landon and not Victoria but Victoria insisted on having her own conversation with him."I've been good. It's been such a long time since I last heard from you, I hope you have been living well?" She asked with a smile on her face.Landon shrugged. "Someone missed me?" His brows raised in a questioning manner as he teased her."Maybe so or not. So tell me, have you been fine?" She quest
"I must say it's been quite long since I saw you. Where have you been?" Mr Smith asked Landon as soon as Landon sat down on the couch in his office."And I must say all these while you didn't call or ask about my whereabouts or what I was doing." Landon retorted with a smirk."So Jason, what do you have for me? I'm thirsty." Landon spoke."Stand up and get yourself something from the fridge." Mr Smith replied."Is that how you treat your guests? I must say you are quite bad at this all. Bad hospitality and bad manners. You wouldn't even come to find me if I didn't come to you." Landon tells him."My bad. So how have you been and what have you been up to?" Mr Smith asked.Landon pinched the bridge of his nose as he crossed his legs. "I got promoted and I got transferred." Landon answered casually."What? Are you for real? Congratulations Landon. You got transferred to London?" Mr Smith asked."Yes and I am the COO." He told him."That's good news. How do we celebrate? I'm done for it."
Mr Smith had a frantic facial expression the moment Landon began to laugh. He wanted to understand the reason for Landon's laughter. Did Landon know of his feelings towards Victoria? Did Victoria tell Landon of his feelings for her? He thought to himself.For some reasons he wasn't worried about the outcome anymore after all Victoria had chosen Landon over him. It hurts him so much. He had never been in a situation like this and the pain terrified him.How could he feel pain in his heart, stomach and head, all at once?" He asked himself."Oh my goodness! You should have seen your face." Landon snickered as he pointed his index finger at him."Wow! I didn't know I could scare you like that? Jason this is literally the first time I was able to move your panties!" He spoke, making Mr Smith cringe when he mentioned the words panties.Landon was known to make very unnecessary comments and it wasn't new to him but still it made him cringe. What was funny to him about the whole situation he
Elizabeth tapped her fingernails on the table as she listened to Me Smith rant about his proposal. He had invited her so she could help him with his plans on how to ask Victoria to be his girlfriend. He spoke with joy in his heart as he explained his entire plans to her. She wished she was the reason behind his smile. She didn't like that he was smiling because of another woman and it hurt her to her bone.While she managed to keep her facial expression blank, within her, she was burning. Her chest tightened and her stomach churned. She was in pain. She was trying to look happy for him but ended up failing because if he hadn't been too oblivious, he would have sent her.It hurts her so much that all she had in her head was means on how to strangle the woman to death. She had never thought she'd come to have so much hatred for another woman this much because of a man."So, I really need your help." Mr Smith tells her.He swallowed the pile of spit that formed on her throat. How was s
Today is the day Elizabeth looked forward to seeing the face of the woman who had stolen the beard of Mr Smith.Mr Smith had called to inform her of the location and time with a good heart. He had only told her because she requested it and nothing more.The moment he told her the location and time, her mood had changed. All she could think of was castrating the woman who had stolen the heart of the man she claimed.Elizabeth left thirty minutes before the proposed time given to her by Mr Smith as she wanted to see the lady come in.Victoria went to Elizabeth's room to look for her so she could help her with her dress zip but she didn't see her. She wondered where she could have gone without informing her.After struggling to zip her dress, she finally did it. She was now ready to step out of the house to the location given to her by Mr Smith.Elizabeth immediately hide the moment she saw Mr Smith car drive in. They watched as he came down from the car and stepped into the building. S
Elizabeth almost fell at that moment as her knees weakened and her jaw dropped. She blinked her eyes more than once to make sure she wasn't seeing double and each time the same face sat opposite Mr Smith.She found it hard to believe that her best friend was the one who had stolen the heart of the man she loved. A lone tear rolled down her cheek as she felt betrayed by the one and only person she thought had her back in this world.She placed one of her hands on her mouth to stop herself from making any sound as she held her back with her other hands tightly. So many questions went through her mind and the more she thought of it, the more heartbroken. She had her headache the most. "Why!" She asked within herself before dashing out of the building in tears.Victoria was the one who had stolen her man. Memories of Victoria badmouthing Mr Smith with every chance she had resurfaced in her head and it ached the moe as she thought of it.She felt Victoria had done all of that to make her
Elizabeth couldn't sleep all night because she felt betrayed by the only person she thought she could put her life into her hands while Victoria couldn't sleep all night because she was finally someone's girlfriend and the feeling was euphoric to her.That morning, Victoria went to Elizabeth's room but it was locked. She knocked on the door several times but got no reply even though Elizabeth heard her knock.Giving up, she dialed Elizabeth's phone number but got no reply and so she gave up. Before she left the house, she knocked on the door again, telling her to answer her as she was starting to panic and so as not for Victoria to break down her door. She told her she was fine.Her dislike for Victoria only heightened. She felt Victoria was acting and she hated it. "How could one be so fake and pretentious!" She asked herself mentally.She wanted to approach Victoria already and send her packing but for some reason she was holding it and trying to get a hold of herself first.Victori
