"I don't know why you are giving in to the Joseph guy when he is just going to suck you dry!" Jeffery said to his friend while adjusting the wrist watch on his hands."This wouldn't have happened if he didn't find out that Miriam is now my wife," Carlos said typing something on his laptop."Do you know what, I don't think that guy can do anything? Why don't we come up with a solution to your problem, okay!" Jeffery suggested.Carlos rubbed his face before getting up from his chair and glaring through the window. "Buddy, just one week!" Carlos spoke out."Just one week, what do you mean?" Jeffery asked."Miriam and I would start living in Paris since we have a branch over there, just one week to go and within that week. I just have to make sure that Joseph and Miriam do not meet or see each other," Carlos said. "You have a long week and anything can happen in that period of time, what if they bump into each other? What would you do?" Jeffery asked his friend smartly and that had left

"I'm not telling you not to help out in the case of Miriam but son, think of the consequences of your actions. you were supposed to run for this election unopposed!" Robert told his son as the maid poured tea into his cup."I'm sorry father but like I told you before, you should not think of political campaigns because the minute Miriam's case is finally over. I know that I would get the sympathy vote that I need to win this election!" Christian uttered as he sliced the sausage on his plate. "What about Lara, what is going to happen to your marriage then?" Robert asked yet again."We already lost each other even before we came back to New York. It is just a contract on paper that binds us together," Christain answered his father before chewing on his meal. "Before you were born, your mom and I weren't on good terms and we had problems in our relationship. There were many different things we never agreed on, we were going to go our separate ways but we later decided that the only sol

The car of Carlos parked in front of the company. He pulled out his key from the side of the wheels before locking his car. "I seem to be lying more often to Miriam, and every day the guilt becomes stronger that I just can't take it anymore," Carlos said to Jeffery who had also gotten down from his car. "Commonly, the person who had called Miriam could have been one of our employees who were present at the party. You shouldn't be bothered!" Jeffery said. "I wish it was that simple," Carlos responded back."What if it was Christian who had called her? He might be trying to take Miriam from you by tarnishing your reputation!" Jeffrey suggested. "That's impossible, I have had many confrontations with him and that is not his call if that guy wants to say or do something to me. He just does it to my face!" Carlos told him. "It's Joseph," Carlos finally realized before sighing angrily. "Joseph, I thought you said all that he wanted was just money from you?" Jeffery questioned. "Yes,

"Carlos, are you serious right now? Did you give that stupid and ungrateful guy such an amount of money? What!" Jeffery exclaimed in shock and annoyance."That's the only thing I could think of to keep his big mouth shut," Carlos said. "I'm not sure that you did the right thing, Carlos, especially now that he would get a taste of so much money. That amount you gave him was just too much," Jeffrey uttered yet again. "My mother doesn't even know anything about this and I know that she would be very furious when she finds out that I issued that cheque from the company's joint account!" Carlos explained and that had made Jeffery to groan exhaustively by all this that was happening. Meanwhile, Joseph had gone to the bank to cash out the amount of money. "I want to cash this cheque, and please make it fast!" He told the lady at the counter. "Sir, can you please follow the line?" A lady behind him said. "I was here before you," Joseph lamented with widened eyes. "No, I was here first!

The following night, Lara had tailed Joseph to a club with her friend. They sat at a distant end while they glared at a particular corner. "Common, are we going to seat here while you smile and flirt with that guy all night? He hasn’t glanced your way even once!" Daisy asked Lara curiously. "We are not living here until I have found out what secret Carlos is keeping," Lara responded to her friend. "And how sure are you that he would give in to you? He doesn't even know you!" Daisy exclaimed as Lara stood up from her chair before speaking. "Oh well, I would like to introduce myself to him." She uttered before cat walking towards the corner where Joseph had three girls with skimpy clothing clustered around him. "Drink up girls!" The voice of Joseph uttered cheerfully."You know what, you girls are just too beautiful." He lamented but his attention was soon diverted when a hand tapped his shoulder making him swirl around. "Guess what, you forgot to wear something?" Lara said with a
