They sat in silence in the living room. Trevor still sitting on grandmother’s couch. Everyone stood. Except for the old woman and his mother-in-law.Eliza was still looking at the phone. Trying to see a fault in what he just showed her. She looked at him a couple of times. Opening her mouth and closing it again. She had nothing to say about the whole thing.She looked at her family members, but they all tried to look away from her.“Why would I lie about such a huge thing, Eliza? You have seen it for yourself and, in case you are in denial, they can’t even look at you right now. They have nothing to say to you because they know what I’m saying is the truth,” he spoke walking to her. “I know this is all a lot to handle. It was as well for me. But we can’t run away from reality. All we can do is embrace every moment of it. Life is too short to worry about crap,” he spoke, resting his hands on her shoulders.She looked up at him, and he let her go. She walked to her grandmother and sat n
The night He just had was the best night of his life. Still not able to believe he was rich now. Able to provide for his wife and for himself. Get back at the people that looked down on him.But he was still trying to think if what he was doing was the right thing. Allowing the people that wanted him dead to be left with him on the same roof.They can easily kill him. Poison him or something else. Though you never give up on family, he was thinking twice about his decision to allow the Noah family to leave under the same roof as him.But what was he going to do about it? This was the only way to prove to his wife that he was still good. That money didn’t change him. It was the only way to prove to himself that he was still good.“Sir, this responsibility is way too much for me to carry. What am I going to do now? You know your family better than I could have. I love you and I want to do the right thing. But that right thing might be my death,” I spoke, looking at Mr. Noah.He just got
He looked at the note that sat on the table. Trying to think about what it all meant and why they sent it to him. If it was not addressed to him, then maybe he would have thought the mailman made a mistake. But the note was addressed to Trevor.He sighed and got up, walking around the room. Thinking if he had any enemies in mind. The only people he could think of that would want to get to him were his in-laws. They all hurt him for the stance he just pulled the other night.He took the thing they called home. They have no say around the house because of him. They never liked him in the first place, and now that he has money and he was treating them the way they deserved, their hurt grew.Before he could pick up his phone, someone entered the office.“Eliza,” he spoke as he turned around. “What do I owe this pleasure?” He asked and gestured for her to take her sit.She began as she sat, “I just wanted to make something clear...”“So, you came all the way from work to make that somethin
They talked for some more time in his office. Him telling her and asking her time and time again for her to tell him about the people that wanted him dead.But the woman refused to review their identity.All he could make of it, and the people he could think of, were his in-laws. After what he just did to them, they were out to get him and will do about anything for them to get their hands on his money and everything he had now.“Listen, Natalia, I appreciate what you are doing here. But they wanted me dead because they didn’t want me to attend the party. Because of what I have now. So, they are not expecting me there. And I need to be aware of them when I show my face there. Just tell me who they are?” He pleaded.But the woman just looked at him and smiled. Took another sip from the wine and slapped the bottle on the table. “We talked about being confidential. You almost refused to take this offer because I betrayed the people that hired me first. And besides, what will be the fun o
He looked at her as he repeated the question, “what do you mean by the one I’m not expecting will be the one that hired you?”She smiled, looking at him, “nothing. I was just telling you to keep an eye open. And speaking of eye opening, your wife has been looking at us all this time. Actually, a lot of people are looking at us. I think she is jealous,” she spoke and tapped his shoulder as she walked past him.He stood there, thinking about what she just said to him. People were canning, that is one thing he knew. But what she said about him trusting people was something he really needed to put into consideration. What if as Natalia said the one his not expecting to hire Natalia was the one that hired her? That will give the person way too many chances to eat away with everything because he or she is not on the suspect list.Just as he turned to Natalia, Eliza called. “Trevor, can you come here please,” she gestured to where she was standing with three men that looked to be in their ea
He looked at her with rage burning in his eyes when he asked again, “what the hell are you doing here, Natalia? I thought I made it clear that you need to leave this place,” he spoke and finally allowed Eliza to get out of his grip.“Well, I thought about everything. Your offer of me allowing you to be safe,” she spoke and walked past him, then locked the door and put the keys in her pants. “And I reached a conclusion dear,” she spoke and looked at Eliza. “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out between us, but it was nice doing business with you,” she spoke.Trevor stood there dumbfounded, trying to grasp what she was saying. What does she mean it was nice doing business with her? Was she saying that to him or to his wife?And if to his wife, when did Eliza and Natalia meet and began doing business together?“Oh, you didn’t tell him? Whoops,” she spoke and slapped a hand on her mouth. “I thought that is the reason his dragging you up here like a mad person,” she smiled at Eliza.“Natal
He looked at them again, waiting for them to say what they wanted at his house. Why they would even show up and block him from going to work? But they just stood there. Watching him.“Aren’t you supposed to say something or anything? What do you want here?” He finally asked.Then one of the police officers spoke, “Sorry, sir, but someone reported you to us that you kidnapped their sister or something. So, we need to take you in, if you don’t mind.”He smiled, trying to be sane in all this madness that was going on in his life. As if messing with his company was not enough, they have gone to this extent.First, his wife hired some messed up assassin to take him down. When all he has ever done was love her. All he ever wanted was for her to love him back. Nothing more. But that is what she repays him with.And then they messed with his company and now this.“Listen, sir. I think they have been a misunderstanding here.....” before he could finish up the tall dark one spoke.“Anything you
“What do you think you are doing?” Eliza asked as Natalia locked her up. “I thought you were just messing with me and playing along. Like part of the plan for you to do what I asked you to do. What the hell is the meaning of this, Natalia?” She scolded.“Oh, precious lady. Seriously, woman. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you get involved with an assassin? I kill people for a leaving, woman,” she spoke and turned her back on her. “I need money or I will go hungry to bed. And I can never do that to my beautiful self,” she spoke.“But made you think Trevor will show? What I did to him was worse than everything I have ever said or done to him. He will not show up here to save me. And much less spend money on someone who wanted him died,” she spoke as she looked down.Natalia turned with a smile on her face. “That is what you think. Because sadly, you never got to learn to say what is inside your husband’s heart. How did he ever end up marrying you in the first place?
