Chris watched in pure horror after examining both pics thoroughly. He still wasn't sure which one to believe or which one was telling a lie but for some reason, he strongly believed that the private investigator wasn't lying and perhaps Brielle was. He didn't fully understand why she would do so. Why would she go as far as to forge photos of his wife? Even though he wasn't too sure and hadn't concluded. He strongly believed that Brielle was up to something. He reminded himself that Aria can sometimes be mischievous and had a mind of her own but also reminded himself that it was for this reason that he hired a private investigator so that she wouldn't even think of doing what he thought in his mind. He didn't jump to conclusions and decided that it was best that he made his findings first and foremost to clear up rumors. He decided that he was going to find out by himself if she was around there or perhaps had tried one of her many tricks. He called the private investigator number a
Chris woke up, feeling different than usual. He took his bath and was ready to leave for work. He glanced over at Aria who was still very fast asleep. It's been such a long time but she looked so peaceful and looking at her made him satisfied to just watch her. He didn't even notice that there was a smile on his face until she stirred in her sleep and finally opened her eyes up to look at him. They both looked at each other with a smile and that was when he realized that he had been smiling like a psycho all along. It felt weird to him but he was able to compose himself. He took a deep breath and then cleared his throat to bring her back into reality. Sbd immediately averted her eyes from his and got up a little only to sit on the bed. She watched in pure awe as he moved to the mirror to fully dress up himself. She knew that Chris was a man but had also studied him. It was easy for her to guess that he was unlike other men because he preferred to take his time when dressing. He was
Chris could take anything but couldn't handle someone making a fool out of him. He was the type of person with terrible anger issues and didn't want to have an outburst right there so all he did was just watch and see Incase she was going to do anything else. It was clear that she was pissed off with the fact that he didn't show up and after seeing just how she had reacted, he was glad that he didn't. He waited to see what she was going to do next and for a while she just stood there, staring into nothingness. She picked up her phone which was already half damaged. She called someone who Chris assumed was probably part of all the schemes that she had been planning. She kept ranting and for a while, it seemed as if they were just arguing. He waited to see if she was going to do anything next and then the next thing he saw her do was curse out loudly. He wondered the reason for her furiousness and why she lashed out at the person so loudly. She wanted to know and then she walked over
" So, he didn't show up? What are we going to do now? The last asked, making Chris annoyed. He had been listening to their conversation and was honestly pissed off with them. The only things that they had spoken about were either about him or Aria. He didn't know that there are people apart from the paparazzi that were so crazy about him and just hearing what they had to say made him pissed. " We should do something about this otherwise the plans wouldn't fall into place," the lady said. Chris couldn't understand what was her problem and why she was even more into this since her job was just to pretend and act as though she was his wife, making a big fool out of him. Remembering it over and over again only made him realize just what such a fool he was. He knew that he was going to have to face it and accept the fact that they'd made such fun of him and they'd won this round. He wasn't sure if Brielle was doing this for her husband or perhaps she just had another personal grudge wi
Chris was shocked and confused at the same time wanting to know more about the man. He wanted to know if they were together in what seemed like a plan to destroy his marriage with Aria. He had never felt more infuriated in his life and just looking at them doing the literal rubbish that they were exhibiting was only setting his blood on fire. He waited for some time and wanted to go there to go and bust her out. He wanted to let her know that he knew everything about what she was planning and he could no longer fool her but held himself back He watched them talk about things that seemed to be about him and Aria which made it obvious to him that the man knew about the plan. He also wondered why Briella had so many people involved just so that she could tear apart his marriage. " You did such a good job and for that, I believe I owe you this," she handed him an envelope. The guy opened it and smiled gracefully. It was a great bundle of cash. He wondered the reason why she would g
Chris arrived at the therapist's office as fast as he could. He saw the lady sitting on the chair and worry washed over him. He had never been more desperate for something in his life and just wanted to know what was going on with her. He arrived at the therapist's office and saw her having a session with another person. " Sorry, Mr. Chris but would you mind staying in the waiting room first?" He nodded in response and was led to the waiting room by her assistant. He didn't want to let curiosity get the best of him as he wanted to know just what was going in with her. He started thinking about what could have been wrong with her. He waited patiently for the doctor to come to see him but he just stood there with no reply whatsoever. He wondered why she had requested him to come when she was only going to waste his time. He was dying to know what she was going to talk to him about but yet there was no sign of her. He didn't even see her assistant and wondered if therapy usually took
What do you mean she almost got into an accident?" Chris growled as he immediately stood up from his chair rushed out towards the garage, fear crawled through his entire body as the thought of his wife almost dying sent chills down his spine. He quickly got into his car and drove to where she was at the moment and hoped she didn't sustain any injuries because he couldn't possibly bear it if she did. He wondered what might have occupied her mind so much that she couldn't concentrate on the road. He noticed her car by the side of the road and a street lamp broken due to the impact. He parked by the side and made his way to his wife who sat by the corner of her car still in shock of what had happened. "Ari?" Chris called to her but she didn't answer him and remained in her position clutching her phone tightly and trembling. He made his way to her and gently squeezed her shoulders to grab her attention. "Are you okay?" He asked but she didn't respond. "I'm glad you're here sir, she has
Melissa sat down admits her old school mates on the table as they talked about how successful they are and having flash acks of their unseriousness during highschool. Melissa on the other hand wasn't at all interested in whatever they were saying as she had taken a day off from work lying to Chris that she had to go to the hospital since she felt quite sick justbao she could attend this party and feel at ease. Although she had missed some of her schoolmates but she felt as though they had outgrown this childish meetup and therefore wasn't engrossed in their little chat. Most of them were either married to each other or other spouses and a few like her were still single. "I can't believe you're still single Lissa, you were the most beautiful girl back in school." Sandra who sat opposite her sneered with a scornful gaze that was intimidating but Melissa wasn't at all bothered by it. "You still havent change have you?" Melissa smirked her lips provoking Sandra who clenched her fists no
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
Melissa stared at her wedding gown with joy plastered on her face. She had begun preparing for her wedding and was more than excited, she had asked her friend Daphne to come help her out in choosing her wedding gowns since she could not make up her mind.Cnrid had recommended that we go to a luxury "Isn't this perfect?" 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's voice erupted in the room and they turned to gaze at him. Melissa gazed at him illuminating her face with a smile, she walked towards him and embraced him in a warm hug."Not yet, I still haven't made up my mind on which one to choose." She pouted her lips gazing at the numerous gowns available. "Why do
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." She looked away shyly, he gently pulled her close to him and looked away and gazed at her."I mean every word I tell you…. Don't for once doubt it." He leaned on her chest and smiled. "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. Her skin had gotten paler and when he had brought it to the doctor's concern, he was told that it was because she was still unconscious and when she woke up, she would get back to herself
"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." Kade threatened hi
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
