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
He drove to a restaurant and ordered some food to eat while thinking of the brawl between him and his wife earlier, he wanted to call and apologize to her but immediately declined the thought from his head and continued to eat without worry. He gazed at his phone for any messages but there was nothing except some files Melissa had sent for him to review back at home. He finished eating and decided to go rest his mind somewhere, he needed to take a stroll to calm his racing mind. He got into his car and drive to around for a while before deciding where to go, he made his way to a golf field he always came to some years back to hang out with Brian whenever he was stressed and needed to cool off. He parked at the lot and made his way inside the storage room sighting the staff seated inside. "Good day, Mr Chris." He waved his hands smiling at him. "How are you doing?" Chris waved at him recalling Mathew had worked here since he had been coming here with Brian. He was handed over a bag
Chris quickly made his way to the house, his mid racing in fear as he gripped the steering tighter, he wondered who was trying to tail him and find out about him, was the person anywhere related to the person who had taken a photo of him and Melissa back at the pack. He finally got home and ran through the door with fear evident in his eyes, his eyes roved around the house searching for his wife. "What are you doing back home honey?" He heard her say behind him and turned around to look at him. "Ari." He walked close to her pulling her into a hug with the accident scene replaying in his head constantly, he couldn't bear the sight of losing his wife. Aria had a puzzled look on his face wondering why he was acting this way and what had happened. "Are you okay?" She mumbled patting him on the back as though he was a little child that needed attention. "Very much okay honey, I just wanted to see you." He smiled at her but she felt it was more than that, she wondered what other reason h
Fear and excitement ran through Aria's body as she stared at the news in horror, she wondered if it was all over now that he was gone and didn't know if she could rejoice or fear that the worst had happened.She had just found out that Kade was involved in an accident after he initially blackmailed her, she was happy that it was all over and she could finally have peace of mind. The phone rang in her hand almost falling to the floor but she was swift to catch it and clutch it closer to her, she stared at it to see it was Susan calling and immediately picked up the phone."Hello?" She mumbled in a low-toned voice sounding weak, she slowly sat on the dresser stool staring at herself in the mirror."Are you okay?" Susan sounded as though she was crippled with fear. "Where are you?""What's wrong Susan?" Aria behaved as though she had no idea what Susan was about to tell her, a small smile formed on her lips while she stared down at her ring slowly twirling it around her finger while star
Chris was in total confusion and stared in shock not knowing what to say and stared blankly."What do you mean my wife was involved in an accident?" Chris tilted his brows as none of this made any sense. His wife had just left some minutes ago and now she was involved in an accident? How possible could that be?"Are you sure about what you're saying?" Chris questioned him again hoping it wasn't true, he pulled out his second phone in his pocket and called his wife but she wasn't responding and her call entered voicemail.He continued calling her hoping she would respond to him as tension continued to rise in him, he paced around as beads of sweat rolled down his face, he took off his coat and got into the car revving up the engines and driving out."I'm quite sure sir." His investigator agreed making Chris more tense than he was, overwhelmed with different emotions as he sped to the address of the accident praying internally that his wife was going to be alright but the heavens weren'
It has Chris was distraught, staring at the ring trying to grasp what was going, on, and staring in disbelief, he turned to look at the policeman standing beside him curiously gazing at him. "What's wrong?" "My wife's ring," Chris mumbled as more fear gripped him, not knowing whether to believe this or not, his hands clenched around the ring as he tried to make sense of it all. "I'm sorry… she has been taken to the ER and will hopefully survive the accident." The policeman tried to calm him down but Chris wasn't having it. "No…. No." He nodded, holding his head before letting out a piercing scream, tugging the policeman by his collar, not caring about the consequences. "Please bring back my wife." "Sir, I'm going to ask you to let go of me or you will be charged with an offense." The officer cautioned Chris who didn't listen to what he was saying and continued holding on to him, some other officers saw the chaos happening and came to help their colleague out, Chris was tackled t
Chris was taken aback and filled with confusion as he began to doubt himself, he leaned on the desk for support sweating profusely as more confusion swept him."What's going on?" He blurted, staring back at the screen and watching his wife leave the house without talking to him earlier in the morning but what he didn't understand was how all this was possible could it be someone playing a mind game with him, or was that he was hallucinating all along?"I need answers damn it." He banged his hand on the table in anger pacing around the room and crumbling to the floor in frustration letting out a scream, he couldn't bring himself to accept that his wife was dead and the conversation they had was a hallucination. He pulled himself to a corner staring silently at nowhere in particular. He got a call from the hospital telling him to come see his wife, he leaned his head back trying to mentally prepare himself for what he would see. He picked himself up from the floor and slowly walked out
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
