I couldn't bring myself to stop crying or even thinking about the whole incident with Audrey. Valerie tried as much as she would but perhaps her best wasn't enough to dry the tears from my eyes."How about you go to the mansion and talk things out with Lucas?" Valerie had suggested one day.I'd my head and dismissed her suggestion. What's the point? What's the point when everything were based on deception and lies? I should have known Lucas would never get over Audrey.Maybe I was the other woman. The woman who shouldn't be there but forced herself on Lucas irrespective. Despite all of this, I didn't love him less than I did when all of these hadn't happened.I tried to get my mind off everything and concentrate solely on helping Valerie come up with the best marketing structure for her company. It wasn't enough to make me forget about Lucas but at least my head was full of ideas other than sulking and dying slowly."What do you think about this?" I showed Valerie some of the samples

I'd have asked her out of the house. I had every right to do that, she was the other woman. The one bent on making Lucas' life miserable and stubbornly holding on to him. She didn't want to claim him and she definitely didn't want him to live his life that much I was sure of.My heart bruised against the rib cage when I saw the video of her and Lucas kissing in the club. Maybe she was right afterall, because after the scene she led him out of the main room to a secluded part the video didn't capture.One thing was peculiar to me, Lucas' demeanor. He didn't look like he was in the right frame of mind when Audrey led him into wherever– I tried not to make a mental image. From what I watched, Lucas staggered a little, but as someone who efficiently handled his own liquor, the shortcoming was obvious. Something was definitely wrong.Was I mistaken? Perhaps exaggerating my position in Lucas' life? Maybe I was the second woman and Audrey was always meant to be with him. Lucas' expression wh

I waited till the two lovebirds drove off to work before I started getting ready to go out. It was already past nine a.m exactly and I was a few minutes behind time. The prison visiting hours would be due in forty-five minutes.I'd been in touch with Andres since he was convicted of the crime. They'd all forgotten about him, I couldn't not after all we shared together. He wasn't the nicest person but he ignited the fire in me."Where are you off to?" Javier's voice sounded from the stairs when I opened the door. Lousy old man. I rolled my eyes and put on a calm expression before turning to face him.I flashed him a grin, "I'm going for antenatal," I lied. I could only hope he didn't request I go with the chauffeur because then I would be busted.He nodded, "Have a nice day," his voice was cold. I knew he didn't like me, he never did. Not when I was with Lucas, not when I was with Andres. I wondered why he didn't object to I and Andres' relationship when he got wind of it. Maybe he kne

After my visit to Valerie's place, I became more sensitive to Audrey's movements. Where she went to, what she did when we were out. So far, nothing out of the ordinary has happened."Lucas, wait up for me!" Valerie cried from the stairs. We were already running late and one of Audrey's dramas was something we didn't want so early in the morning.Lucas sighed sharply, "What the hell do you want this time?" He gritted.I hope it wasn't what I was thinking. She was dressed in a black velvet gown that stopped just on her ankles, court shoes and a blazer over the gown. It wasn't exactly my style but she looked good."I am coming to the office today," Audrey said.I was a bit taken aback, "Why?" We asked almost at the same time.She rolled her eyes in disgust, "Isn't it obvious?" She sighed, "I want to start working at the company," she looked at me with disdain, "Afterall she works there too,"There was no way in hell. The vein at the back of my neck pulsed hard, and I felt my heart bruise

Soon after Lucas left for his office, Laura walked in looking a bit disgruntled and without my regular morning coffee."Laura, I thought you left to get my coffee?" I questioned, when in fact she left to give Lucas and I privacy.She inched closer to my desk, "The new staff took the cup of coffee from me," her voice was low, I had to strain my ears to make out what she was saying.I clenched my fist into a ball, taking a deep seated breath to quench the anger that was threatening to erupt. "And who's the new lady?"You know who.Laura tugged at the edge of her shirt, "Audrey–"Take a deep breath Samantha. I took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds and forced a smile across my face. "Thank you Laura, you may leave now," I tried so hard to conceal the disdain in my voice."I'm sorry ma'am. I should have been more careful. But, she just snatched it from–"I raised a finger to stop her from saying more. I should have scolded her, but this had absolutely nothing to do with the young la
