"Yes it was indeed tight but I don't think it could leave bruises on her skin because she wasn't the hostage," Susan explained and Chris was a bit confused wondering how she would have gotten the bruises if she hadn't played hostage. How dubious is she? Is this the fragile woman he had been with for five years?

Could it be that she had gotten the bruises before the game so she could use it as an alibi? Chris thought to himself. If that is so then where had she gone to and how did she get so badly bruised that her colleagues didn't know about it when she was to play hostage or could the person who had tied her hand know about it and shrug it off? Chris' head kept ringing with a lot of unanswered questions.

He was running out of patience wanting to know the truth about everything at go but it didn't seem like it would happen that way.

"Were your rooms together back at the hotel?" Chris asked Susan who was silent for a few seconds, she nodded her head negatively trying to recall who ha

    "There are a whole bunch of men that fit your description so I can't say I know that person." Susan shrugged. "If you knew what his name was then that would be a different scenario." She added scratching her hair as she nervously looked around wanting to be out of their sight at any moment. "Damn it!" Chris stomped the ground hard as he frowned his lips in frustration, just when he thought there was going to be a lead but it was another futile dead end. "Are you lying just to cover up your friend?" Brian asked staring at her eye to eye which was intimidating as she looked away from him. "Why would I lie knowing you could end me with just that video on your phone?" She rolled her eyes feeling as though she was stomped upon, she felt her pride meltdown once again. "I doubt she can sprout any lies at the moment," Chris informed Brian who backed away from Susan leaving her to breathe properly, She rolled her eyes at him hating his presence around her. "Does any woman in the company g

    "Keep your filthy fingers away from my husband, you cheap whore." Aria snapped at Melissa who was stunned. "It's not what you-" Melissa tried explaining herself but got interrupted by the raging Aria who seemed like she was ready to pounce on her again. "That's what they all say." She snapped. "Just because he seems like an easy target doesn't mean you would have him to yourself. Chris was shocked by his wife's reaction wondering if she was the same woman cheating on him, he was in a daze and had no idea what to say to her because now she seemed to make herself the victim. "And you!" She turned to look at her husband glaring at him. "How could you do this to me?" Chris remained quiet unable to defend himself, he wanted to bring up the findings he had made of her cheating but decided against the idea as he wanted to have all the evidence needed. "Melissa, I'm so sorry about this, could you go freshen up?" Chris told Melissa who didn't waste another second and turned away walking aw

    But how could he pick it up now when his wife was beside him?"It's Brian won't you answer?" His wife said, staring curiously and his phone vibrating. "Unless you want us to die I can't discuss it with him right now," Chris explained to her immediately in the call. If Brian had anything important to say then now wasn't the right time but Chris was consumed by curiosity as he continued to drive. He needed to find a place to distract his wife so that he'd find the time to call him back."Why don't we have something in our bellies?" He offered his wife who still seemed to be angry at him. "Sure! I've been quite hungry, maybe that's why I'm angrier today." She joked trying to lighten the tense atmosphere in the car that was suffocating them harshly. Chris parked his car at the lot getting out, letting the warm embrace of the nice air surround him. He stared at the sky with his sunglasses on and sighed tiredly turning around the car to his wife who circled her hand in his as they both m

    After dinner, both Chris and his wife went to rest. They were in their room and Chris couldn't help but want to ask her questions as he recalled the phone call he got from Brian. "So tell me more about the party you attended on the business trip, did you enjoy yourself?." She turned to look at him with a frown on her face as she tied a robe on her body. "Are you at this again?" She folded her arms on her chest. "Is there any harm in sharing all the fun you had with your husband? When did it become a problem to do so?" He reasoned with her teasingly. "Well we played a lot of games, Like I told you earlier, I played the victim part." She pointed to her bruised wrists staring at it for a while, smiling before covering it. "If I had known it would be this injury then I would have not decided to change roles." She shrugged, looking away from him. "Oh." Chris silently listened to her speak. "I was also pissed that I didn't get to sleep in the same room as Susan because one of the supe

    Chris sat down on his desk trying to round up some work when his assistant walked in along with his secretary Melissa. He didn't bother raising his gaze to them and continued what he was doing."Good morning sir." Marcus greeted placing a file on his table containing his schedule for the day."Morning," Chris mumbled passing what he was typing and glanced at Marcus before looking at the file on the table, taking a glance over and happy he didn't have much to do since he was going to meet Susan soon. He furrowed his brows looking up at them wondering why they were still standing and exchanging glances at each other."Is there any problem?" Chris finally looked up, stopping what he was doing gazing at them."No sir, it's just…." Marcus stared at Melissa unable to finish his sentence as if waiting for her to back him up."Could we please let us both join the project group?" Melissa stared at the floor scratching her hair shyly not knowing what his response would be bit tried hard to ment

    Chris stared at the man in the video who he identified as the manager of the company his wife worked in, Mr Parker Kade. Kade was a gentleman who could easily pull as many women as he wanted with his handsome face, his ever dazzling hazel eyes, his perfect jawline and his muscular posture that sent women on their knees begging for his attention. Chris took a closer look at the video as he saw Mr Parker Kade and a lady walk into the hotel together, the lady had huge glasses on to cover their face, making it difficult for him to see clearly who it was, he knew who it was, he could tell but he didn't want to fully believe it, he paused the video footage and zoomed in. Chris leaned closer to check the features of the woman, hoping it would automatically change and prove him wrong, Aria won't cheat on him. “Aria?” He gasped for air, placed his hands in his head, as she stroked his hair, he placed his hands on his mouth, covering it. He loves his wife, he loves her so much and he has no

    "Spit it." He said almost irritated and at the same time wanting to know what she had to tell me. What more secrets had she found? He could hear her shuffle where she sat and let out a sigh before saying anything."For the past year, she had always left the company at noon for two hours," Susan told him, he thought for a second walking behind his desk which was purely a glass wall, and he stared at the other buildings and cars zooming off. His wife never told him she did that because she always told him when she had breaks at work yet she hid this from him, a frown formed on his lips as this had enticed his suspicions more."I'm quite sure you had no idea about this," Susan mumbled as she felt awkward in the silence on the phone, Chris pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a whiff of it, and gazed into space, he was sure she was with that bastard manager of hers. "If you have more information as to where she goes do tell me," Chris told Susan as he shut his eyes looking

    Chris briskly walked into the restaurant where he was to meet the woman who had messaged him to join hands in getting revenge on their partners. His eyes scouted around for her even though he had no idea what she looked like, he gently took his seat when a woman approached him with a warm smile yet her eyes were filled with pain, she looked like she was in her mid-twenties and was a much tender face with baby-like skin, unlike his very curvy wife she was more on the skinny side but very much pretty."Nice to meet you, Mr Chris." She placed her hands out for a handshake and he shook hers in his. He could feel how frail her hands felt as though they were more of bones than flesh. She took her seat placed her purse in her lap and stared at Chris without a hint of fear or shyness."Nice to meet you too Mrs…." He scrunched his brows waiting for her to say her name."Briella Bricks." She replied, trying to feel comfortable in her seat."Mr Brick's wife." Chris smiled, slowly nodding his hea

    The morning dawned with a delicate shine of sunlight, promising warmth for that day. The sunlight peered through the curtains casting a soft glow on Melissa's face as she slept. Gradually sensing the heat and bright light from the sun, she blinked her eyes open, adjusting herself into a comfortable position on the bed. The space beside her was empty, Chris nowhere in sight. "Maybe he's working in his study." She muttered to herself, trying to sit upright. Chris now worked from home because of Melissa. He wanted to make sure that she never got to stress herself during the last few months of her pregnancy, and that he was always there whenever she needed him. He only went to the office if the situation needed itTwisting her neck sideways to relieve them of it's stiffness, her hand instantly went to her protruding belly, rubbing gentle circles around them as a smile played on her lips. It felt like yesterday when they were unsure of their love, but now a year had passed. Gradually

She turned around to ask her friend Daphne."Sure, it suits your sling but I feel it may be too heavy for you to move around," Daphne suggested while staring at the dress. "Why not try another?"The staff beside them pointed to a series of other options to choose from but Melissa was confused and didn't know which one to take."Have you found the one you like?"

    Chris had taken Melissa on a vacation trip so they could enjoy their moment together and get to know each other more. He also took it as a time for her to take a break from all the stress that had happened to her."Aren't these gifts a little too much?" Melissa pouted gaznng at the mirror admiring the silver dress he had bought for her."You deserve the world honey don't worry too much about the worth of the gift I'm giving you, after all the most expensive thing you've given me is your heart and my money can't be enough to buy that," Chris said as he caressed her lips placing a kiss on it."Don't flatter me."

"I love you too much to play with your heart."."What do you think about going out for dinner later this evening?" He asked gazing at her curiously. "It's okay if you don't feel like it." He added.

    Weeks had passed since the whole incident and Chris was finally getting better although had to walk around with a walking stick to aid his movement, on the other hand, Melissa was still admitted to the hospital and still unconscious.It had saddened him to know that she lost the child but thankfully she was still alive. Chris walked into the ward with fresh flowers to put in her room so she could have a nicely scented room."Good morning princess." He smiled at Melissa laying in the bed and the only thing he got back was the beeping machine noises that assured him she was right.He walked towards the flower vase replaced the old ones with the new ones he had just brought and walked to the chair to sit beside Melissa's bed. "Wale up soon okay?" He gently lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it.

    "What?" Melissa was stunned to see Aria and glanced at Chris."She's with Alex." He forced out the words and gazed at Melissa."Such a whore." She mumbled and pulled out a gun from her pocket aiming at Aria."You have a death wish, don't you? Stooping so low that you spread your legs for every man you see.""What the hell do you know about me huh?" Aria lashed out."I know that you're a whore, that's for certain." Melissa shrugged her shoulders, Chris had finally noticed the way Melissa dressed as an officer and tilted their head wondering if he was making things up."Why are you wearing this?" Chris asked her curiously."Long story short I'm an investigator." She gave him a quick smile before gazing at Aria who was also shocked at the discovery."So all this while you used working with him as a cover-up?" Aria smirked. "Wouldn't it be shameful if they knew how you got pregnant?""That is none of your concern!" Chris raised his voice at Aria."Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" S

    "Ya'll better start talking or I'm about to pry you all open." He threatened pulling out a gun from the back of his trouser. "What the hell is she here?" He asked referring to Aria who was glaring at him furiously."You seem quite energetic for the day but I'm afraid you're interrupting a heart-warming scene," Alex smirked."Aria come here right now," Kade ordered her but she stood firmly in the ground."Who do you think you're talking to honey" Sir folded her hand on her chest and smiled, Kade was somewhat taken aback, he could sense a change in her and wondered why she had behaved like this all of a sudden. "You had better watch that mouth of yours.""Just what do you mean by that?" Kade demanded, he was furious. "Are you still going to choose that bastard over me?" He pointed to Chris who remained quiet and hung his head low."I doubt that is the situation here." She threw herself onto Alex and smiled."You better get away from her or I will blast your head off."

    Several days had passed and Chris hadn't heard from his brother or had anything to eat, he was slowly losing his mind and the smell of blood enveloping the room picked him so much."It's been a while." Alex's voice erupted in the room and he the door creaked open, Chris struggled to lift his head and gazed at him."He needs treatment." He turned to Marcus who was laying weakly on the floor. "He has nothing to do with this, why does he have to suffer?" "You seem quite healthy for someone how head starved." Alex lit up a cigarette gazing at Chris coldly. "Answer me!" Chris demanded but Alex still wasn't bothered by his question."I'm slowly going to drive you to insanity to the point where you would beg me to end your life but I would not," Alec said, puffing the smoke in Chris' face and laughing. "You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an

    "How can it be?" Chris gasped. "You… died.""Well as you can see it's my spirit taking revenge on you." Alex laughed sarcasticallyChris was still in shock and hadn't recovered, he recalled that after that incident he was been blamed for the death of his step brother who couldn't be found, and was taken to his grandmother's place to live till he grew up and had never heard from his parents because they had cut him off."You faked your death?" Chris gazed at him in annoyance."How could you do such a thing to me?" Alex pouted his lips looking like a maniac."I never intended to do so, but now that I think of it I should have pushed you harder so that you would truly die." Chris stared at him waiting for some sort of explanation. "So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words. Chris turned his gaze to Marcus who was still unconscious and frowned.Melissa

    The cold freezing water flowing down Chris' body caused him to jerk up up I'm shock, panting as he tried to catch his breath and survey his unfamiliar surroundings."Wake up Prince Charming." He heard a familiar voice echo in his ear, he gazed at the man standing in front of him dressed in an all-black attire that gave off chilly vibes. "I don't have the entire day to wait for you."Chris winced in pain gazing at the man who hit him, his entire body ached and he felt intense pain in his head as warm liquid seeped out."Who are you?" Chris asked glaring at him."What are you so keen to know who I am since you would be dying here?" "At least I remember you once I'm out of here and you're six foots under…. Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself." Chris frowned at him trying to get a view of his fave behind the mask and suddenly felt a sense o
