2024-10-29 19:42:56"Why is she not picking up her phone?"
"Pick up the damn phone!"
Michaelson was shouting frustratingly. He has been trying to reach Lisa on her cell phone, but it just kept ringing and ringing, without her picking the phone."Let me call her aunt"
he said to himself.
After all, she liked and adored him."Hello? Josephine"
she picked up his call.
All he could say was,
"Lisa's ex-husband, isn't what we all thought he was".
Josephine replied,
"Calm down now. What did you say again?".
He had already dropped the call. She didn't understand what he had just told her. She quickly called her niece Lisa on her phone. But Lisa wasn't coming to the phone. She kept trying, until she finally answered the phone.
"What happened? I have been trying to reach you. Even Don Michaelson called your cell phone but you didn't answered".
Her aunt, Josephine said to her.
"Sorry aunt, I was asleep"
she replied.
"You better call Michaelson and find out what is going on.
Josephine said, before she ended the call on Lisa.
Lisa, immediately called Don Michaelson to find out what was going on."Lisa, your ex-husband is not a pauper. What was your last name? The last name you went by, while you were married to your ex-husband"
He asked her.
"Del Monte. I use to go by Mrs. Lisa Del Monte"
she replied him.
He felt like the biggest fool ever, because ever since he started sleeping with Lisa, it didn't occur to him that he should know her last name. Maybe, just maybe, if he knew her last name, while she was still married to Pedro, this would have been averted."Pedro Del Monte, your ex-husband, is my boss. What am I even saying? He was my boss"
he said to Lisa.
She didn't understand what he was saying.
"Wait a second, Pedro? My ex-husband, is your boss?
That can't be. There's a mixup somewhere. The Pedro I know, is a pauper and I'm pretty sure, one doesn't become rich overnight, talk more of being a boss".Lisa said to him over the phone, being all confused.
"You are not listening. Okay, listen up. My company isn't actually my company, as I told you initially. I lied, because it was the only way I could get you to sleep with me, by making you think that it was solely mine. The truth is that, it is a sub-company, one out of over a hundred sub-companies, all under a parent company. The name of the company is 'The Del Monte Group of Companies' and guess who is the owner of all of it. Yes, your ex-husband, Pedro. He had inherited from his father, Pedro-senior".
Don Michaelson explained to her.
"So, you mean to tell me you are not as wealthy as you claimed? And I remember, you said something about my ex-husband being your boss or he was your boss?".
she asked Don Michaelson, over the phone.
"He has dismissed me. I no longer work for him. Lisa, is there anyway you could maybe talk to him, to give me my job back".
he said to Lisa.
"This old fool. Did you just ask me to go talk to my ex-husband about you getting your job back? You must be delusional. How about me that you deceived and even made me divorce my loving husband"
she said to Don Michaelson.
"Don't even get started with me, you slut. You are a materialistic bitch. You have always been one who just wants this and that, looking for the next guy to milk of his resources. Now you know I am old? You and those criminals you call your sister and aunt. And correction, he is no longer your husband. He is your ex-husband, you slut".
They started exchanging words. They were so frustrated with each other. Lisa, blaming Don Michaelson for making her divorce her then husband, but now ex-husband. At the other hand, Don Michaelson blamed her, for being too insultive, always embarrassing Pedro when they had not gone through their divorce yet. Maybe he would have still had his job.
Finally, after an intense twenty minutes of quarreling and mud slinging over the phone, it came to an end, as Lisa ended the phone call."I will call Pedro, start crying over the phone, and tell him how my elder sister, Sarah and my aunt, Josephine, deceived me and told me to cheat on him. I know he still has a soft spot for me. It will surely work"
She said to herself.
Lisa suddenly became desperate, as she thought of ways to manipulate Pedro into taking her back as his wife.Pedro was still with Simon, discussing how Simon was going to personally scrutinize subordinate workers, to get the best person to be promoted to be new head of operations for the sub-company, Don Michaelson had been fired from earlier in the afternoon of that day.
His phone rings, he takes a look at the screen, and it's Lisa's number. He cuts the call, he refused picking."Baby pick my calls please. Stop ignoring me. I am sorry"
she said.
Like he could hear her from where he was. She called him again, and again he rejected the call, by cutting it. She continued calling, calling and calling his cell phone. He kept declining her calls, he was doing it deliberately just so, she feels the hurt a little more.What Lisa didn't realize was that, the tables have turned and this time, it was Pedro actually manipulating her, by making her continue calling him. His time has finally come to carry out his revenge on Lisa. It was going to be one she will not forget in a hurry.
"Simon, let's finish up this meeting some other time. You already know the plan. I am leaving this project to you. Run the exercise on the subordinate workers and get the best one out of them, that will be proactive and productive, just like you are"
he said to Simon, while looking at his phone screen, expecting another call to come in from his ex-wife, Lisa.
"Surely, Sir. I will get right on it. Expect the results soon. Do have a good evening".
Simon says, as he waves his boss, Pedro, goodbye.
As Pedro climbed upstairs, his phone rang, and he took a look at his phone's screen to see who was calling. It was her calling him, yet again. She had taken the bait. As he climbed up he had a devilish smile on his face.
"The game will end with me. I shall show you much pain and I will have the last laugh".
he said, as he made his way to his room.

"Sorry, I was in a meeting yesterday evening, that is why I refused picking up your calls".This was the SMS message Lisa woke up to, the next morning. She felt ecstatic, because it was Pedro, who had sent her that text message. To Lisa, it only meant that, there was a very high possibility that, he will take her back as his wife. "I know how hard you work, my handsome Pedro. I just want the opportunity to explain myself and why I opted for a divorce. I only beg, you give me the opportunity to explain myself, my love, and then you will see that, I truly love you and didn't mean to treat you badly".She quickly sent him in an SMS, to his phone as well. It wasn't up to a minute she sent the text message to Pedro, then her message notification sound came up. She quickly checked her phone to see if it was Pedro who had sent in a message. "1PM. Meet me at my place. Don't worry, it is very easy to locate. Just tell the cab driver, The Del Monte estate. It is quiet popula, and he will br

There was a knock at The Del Monte's door. Roseline came to see who it was. It was Sarah, Lisa's sister. "Please, do come in." Roseline said to her. She immediately came inside the house, and Roseline closed the door behind her."Where is Peddy?" She asked Roseline."Follow me, I will take you to him. He is expecting you"Roseline told her. They made their way upstairs, with Roseline guiding her to Pedro's bedroom "Peddy I'm here, as promised".She said, as she had already seen him lying down on his bed. "Leave us Roseline. Close the door behind you on your way out".He said, sending away Roseline from his room.He got up and held Sarah by her waist. Looking into each other eyes without blinking. They both looked at each other's lips, soon enough they locked lips, and started kissing each other rigorously."Wait".Sarah said to Pedro, under her breath."What? Lets just continue"Pedro said to her."We will. But first, you will have give me money after we have sex. Lots of mone

“Now they will know my pain, my despair, my shame and a whole lot of sadness. Lisa I gave you love, you threw it to the dogs, treating me worse than a dog”.Pedro said to himself, with a more sinister smile on his face, while he rubbed his index finger and his thumb on each other. “I haven’t even began the hurt. This is just the beginning of their pain. I will hit them so hard and so mercilessly. She said, I was a waste of time, a pauper and a good-for-nothing. Now, even at this time, wasting of their lives time, will be my utmost use of time”.He continued. Hell had unleashed a demon in the form of Pedro, as his heart, mind and soul, was poisoned by hatred for Lisa, her auntie, Josephine and her sister, Sarah. The bitterness in him, had grown so vile and sickening, so much that, the former Pedro was gone.

“Master, you really showed the detective, who is boss. Did you see how his face lightened up when you gave him the money? Pretty sure you made his week”Roseline said to Pedro, as they made their way out of the police station.“You mean, his month? They want me to give a statement, with all the evidences which we have provided them with, they think they can get me to come write a statement? I do not have the will or strength to banter words with anybody, rather I will let the money do the talking for me. Trust me it will be louder than a thousand voices all put together”.He said to Roseline.“Hmmmm..I wonder why this one is calling my phone”.Pedro phone was ringing and he discovered it was Lisa, calling, after he took it out of his pocket. “Who is this?”He asked her, pretending not to know who it was, that was calling, just to spite her.“I know you know it is I, but that is not important. Pedro, your problem is with me and not my sister. Whatever happened, I am sorry okay? I/am/s

While in the hospital, Lisa and Josephine were demoralized, not knowing how to tackle the situation. Pedro had become their latest nightmare, as they could not at that moment, figure out the next thing he might do, that will be detrimental to them. Her phone rings, “What is this?”Lisa said, as she did not understand the number calling her, that was displaying on her phone screen.“What is it Lisa?”Auntie Josephine asked.“It is a number, but it is strange, as it is one I have never seen before, different from regular cell phone numbers”. Lisa replied Josephine.“Well, I think you should pick it up. I do not think there is any harm to it”.Josephine said to Lisa.“Hello?”Lisa responded to the call, with a curious look on her face, as the number appeared strange and irregular to her.“Hello? Lisa, it is Don Michaelson, I have been permitted to make just one phone call. Listen to me. Do everything in your power to get Pedro to stop or else, we are all doomed”.It was Don Michaelson

Lisa returned back to the hospital, almost evening, to check on her elder sister’s condition. Her auntie Josephine was still there waiting on her.“Darling, where did you storm off to like that? You got me really worried”Josephine asked Lisa. But she said nothing, walking towards auntie Josephine, sat next to her and leaned on her shoulder, without speaking a word. For almost five minutes, Lisa kept quiet and just stayed there. Finally, she spoke.“I didn’t know what else to do auntie. I was confused and frustrated. Seeing my sister lie still, like a vegetable and the call from Don Michaelson, from the police station, I just had to do something. Anything”.She said to her auntie, Josephine.“I’m so sorry dear. This is not just your fault. We all played a part in this. Now, we have created a demon, who is now after our very lives”. Josephine said.“I headed over Pedro’s place, to see him. We spoke over the phone, and I could tell he intentionally did not want to see me or talk to m

The next morning, there was a knock at the gate. Lisa was already up, preparing food, as she was too tired from last night and couldn’t return to the hospital, that night. “I wonder who it is, this early morning at the gate”She said to herself. She peeped through the curtains of one of the parlor windows, which faced the gate. “Isn’t this that man from last night?” She asked herself. Indeed it was him, Andre Ramos, was at the gate again, that morning.“Why is he back here? Wait a second. There is another man with him? This is actually disturbing”.She said to herself. She wondered what they wanted, as Andre Ramos was not by himself this time, but came along with some other man. She didn’t want them to know she was home. She thinking she had succeeded in deceiving them, peeped through the curtain again, but something she never expected happened. “Good morning Miss Lisa”.Andre Ramos greeted her with a loud voice, waving at her. Unfortunately for her, he had seen her peeping at

The Del Monte family’s pride?”Said his brother, Pedro, with open arms and a smile on his face, walking down the stairs, to embrace his younger brother, Alexander. “Yes, brother. It is I, your only and one true brother”.Alexander replied Pedro.“I thought you will never return to Spain again”.He jokingly said to Alexander.“Hahahaha”. Alexander laughed.“No, brother. You know I have to travel around Europe, from time to time, to check on our sub-companies, make sure the heads of operations, are performing efficiently and ensure that, operations are running smoothly”.Alex continued.“That’s true. Well, look at you, you are the youngest tycoon in the whole of Spain, if not Europe”. Pedro said to his brother, Alexander.“That’s what you do, brother.

Roseline later arrived home from the company, after she finished with the workers there. “Roseline, you are back”.Pedro said to Roseline, after he turned back to see who it was, that had just come into the house, hearing the door open, while he was watching television in the sitting room.“Yes, master”.She said to him. She was exhausted, due to the numerous amount of workers, that she discussed and engaged with. “How did it go with the workers? Were you able to get the information we need?”.Pedro asked her.“It was a tedious process, Master. I spoke with at least seventeen workers, and it turns out that, two amongst our employees there, were his stooges”.Roseline replied him.“Can you imagine the insolence of this man? He even converted employees of the company to his minions”. Pedro said to her, slightly annoyed.“Master, you do not need to worry your head much about this whole situation.

“Good morning auntie” Lisa greeted her auntie, Josephine, as she got into Sarah’s room, at the hospital. “Good morning my darling, you are here”. Josephine reciprocated her niece’s greeting.“Yes auntie. I had to rush down here, because I know you must be very tired, from watching over Sarah, through yesterday till this morning”. Lisa said to her auntie, Josephine. “That’s thoughtful of you, my darling. I am actually very exhausted. I had to get some snacks from the hospital’s cafeteria to eat as dinner, to avoid going through the night on an empty stomach”. Josephine said to her.“So sorry about that. You must be very hungry as well. I am here now, to watch over Sarah, to enable you go home, so you can shower, make something to eat and rest for a while”. Lisa said to Josephine. “Yes, my darling.

“It’s morning already?”Lisa said, as she opened her eyes. It was the next morning already and she had just woken up. “Morata wake up, it’s morning already. I’m sure you are going to go to work today”. She said to Morata, tapping him on his back, as he was sleeping on his chest. She tapped him till he sluggishly woke up. “Hmmm. Is it morning already? We just slept not long agooo”.He said, groaning. He didn’t realize they had both slept off last night, and it was morning already the next day. “Yes, it is morning. I have to go get ready and leave for the hospital, to see my sister, Sarah. My auntie should be exhausted by now and I have to be there, to take over the watch of Sarah, from her, while she goes home to take care of herself”.She said to Morata.“Okay my damsel.

Please, do come through to the house. I will be expecting you. It’s been a while”. He continued and finally ended the conversation over the phone. He didn’t bother to put on much, since he and Lisa had plans of having sex later on. He wore a white striped sweatshirt and shorts and went down stairs to join Lisa in the sitting-room. “Hey you, what took you so long? Was the shower that good?”.Lisa asked Morata, looking up at him, smiling, as he made his way down the stairs to the sitting-room, to sit with her. “Hehehe.

She walked right in and headed to the car. “Heyyyy, look who is here.

Had these meeting with some potential clients, who came into the country from Italy, yesterday, to meet with me for business”. He replied her. “That’s nice. I see you, Mr. Big business mogul”.

They had started beating him up again, going at it for five minutes. “Help!”. He exclaimed again.“Shut up! No one is coming. You are stuck in here with us and no one is coming to help you”. One of the men said to him, as he kicks his stomach, while Michaelson was on the floor, struggling with his stomach and holding it, because of the pain, they had inflicted on him. “Hey you, Michaelson, better prepare your mind ready for a court appearance next week. Hehehe. You will be going to jail real soon”. Detective Harry said to him, laughing after he came to his cell, to say to him.

The doctor was here an hour ago, to check her vitals, while one of the nurses came to check her drip line, infused some medicines through the line and the other came to help me clean her up”. Her auntie, Josephine replied. “That’s good auntie. I’m very happy her treatment and care wasn’t stopped, courtesy of Morata”.

The person kept talking.“Thank you. But no, I do not want that”. He replied to the person, on the phone. The person continued, while Pedro listened. After few minutes, he replied,“I do understand, but like I said before, I do not want it to go down that way. Thank you”. He said to the person, repeating his stands on the issue, before hanging up the phone.Afterwards, he dropped to the ground and did some pushups and then went into the bathroom, to take a shower. Few minutes later, he was out from the bathroom, back into his room, put on just his trousers without a shirt, leaving his body uncovered and headed down stairs. “Roseline!” He called out to Roseline. “Oh, you are awake, Master.
