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
Chris sat in the office going over the files Marcus had sent to him earlier, he skimmed through some of them before hearing a knock on his door and Melissa walked in with a MacBook which she used as a schedule planner. "Good morning sir." She smiled wildly at him thinking about what she horrific thing she had seen yesterday. "Morning and how are you doing, I hope you got enough rest." He didn't raise his gaze to her and continued skimming through the files. "Mr Owen is here concerning the project sir." Melissa informed him, Chris stood up almost immediately dropping most of the files on the floor, Melissa quickly bent down to pick them up when her eyes see dropped on a particular file. She instinctively picked it up and gazed down at it I'm astonishment. "You should do what you're employed to do and not meddle in what doesn't concern you." Chris swiped the file from her hands angrily, before he could turn away she caught a glimpse of pain in his eyes. She wondered why he had divorc
Aria got up the following morning, as before she decided to stay back and work from home instead. She couldn't afford to see Kade looking straight at her at work, the anxiety was overwhelming, she getting frustrated and losing herself in the process. Chris got up and headed to the bathroom, he had a clean nice bath, he walked back to his bed and sees his work fit, perfectly ironed and straightened out for him to wear. He exhales sharply, as he turned to the wondering what was going on with Aria. He picked up the suit set and gaze at them, not even a single wrinkle. A light smile popped in his face as he recollected the sweet old days. A time his wife loved and cherished him, when she was eager to do everything for him. She’s help pick up his clothes, help take them off as soon as he returns from work. He was her reason to smile and she was his reason to smile. He buried his face into his palm as those memories ripped his heart to shreds. He put on the outfit and set o
The silence in the house was overwhelming and Chris hadn't seen his wife out of the room for a while even though she had somewhat been avoiding him. He lifted himself from the couch where he sat, gently placed his coffee on the side table and walked up the stairs leading to their room. He stopped and knocked in the door waiting for her response but it was quiet. "Honey, are you okay?" He held the knob waiting for her response but it still remained quiet and that's when he sort to getting into the room which was empty, he could hear the shower in the bathroom still running making him wonder how long she wanted to stay in there, he walked to the bathroom knocking on the door again. "Ari? Are you alright?" He caed out but she still remained silent which made him more nervouse about it and decided to walk into the bathroom and was in total shock of what he saw, his heart literally flew out of his chest and fear gripped him, he ran towards the tub pulling his wife out and pnd layed her on
"Who was that?" Melissa asked, puzzled and confused as they watched the man scallop away in the dead of the night, neither of them seeming to care about pursuing him as they didn't know if it was a deception to attack them. "No idea…" Chris trailed off wanting to leave the place as soon as possible, she gazed at him looking around protectively and turned back to look at her. "It's dangerous out here so you need to get home immediately." Chris suggested since it was already late and what they helad just encountered, he knew such could pose a scandal threat or something more, he would need to findbwjo had done this. "I'll give you a ride home." "It's alright, I don't want to pester you so please don't bother about me." Melissa declined his offer which took him by surprise since he had expected her to grab it without hesitation after what had happened. "That's not an option Melissa, get into the car." He ordered her and without resisting further she got into the car along with, she s
Chris stared at the message in astonishment, unable to believe it at first even though it did seem to be the truth, he just found out about Briella's identity which was a shock to him and quite unexpected. He leaned back on his pillow and read all the messages relating to her. There were also proofs of pictures to back the information. Chris had never imagined she would play people this way and wondered what her goal was if she was doing this. How could a woman that poor rise so quickly to the rich status without much effort? Chris wondered if Kade knew about his wife's secret that had been dug up. "What's wrong?" Aria's voice broke the silence in the room and almost crippled him with shock again. "You're here." He chuckled nervously, putting his phone away and gazing at his wife. She seemed to notice his nervousness but said nothing about it, they had both been famished and the little quarrel they had in the kitchen made both of them feel guilty being in the same space awkwardly b
Chris stood up from his seat strolling out of the office as fast as he could while smoothing his disheveled shirt making his way to the garage and pulled out the car keys from his pocket, glancing at his phone to know where she was before revving the engines and zooming out of the garage onto the highway. Chris drove a distance behind Briella wondering where she was headed, she drove down the road and took a sharp turn driving down the road. Chris began to regret following her instead of hiring someone to do so but he was quite curious and wasn't about to back down just yet. She soon came to a stop at a residential area, he parked a a distance from her so he wouldn't be noticed and stared at her through the tinted windows of his car wondering why she was there, the area looked quite shabby and she didn't look like someone who would come to a place like this which aroused his suspicions the more. She got out of her car looking around the area as though ensuring no one was going to se
Chris drove towards the hotel constantly calling his wife's phone but she wasn't picking up which angered him more, he thought she had taken a break from that lifestyle but turns out she is actually a whore who would never stop flaunting her ass around to whatever man is available. Chris was so bent in catching her that he didn't care if he was swerving and speeding on the highway cursing. "Damn it." He hit the steering angrily he was about to take a turn leading to the hotel when Marcus called him, Chris answered the call and placed it on speaker while staring at the road. "What's wrong?" He asked, taking another turn. "They already left sir." Marcus informed him causing Chris to hit the brake pedal immediately coming to a stop, other car owners in the back honked at him before driving away angrily since it had almost caused an accident. "What do you mean they already left?" Chris frowned, his lips leaning back on the seat and brushing his hair back. "They had just left, I could
