Bruce drove off, humming to the song that played in the car stereo in the background.“What's going on? Why the hold up?" Bruce said with a hoarse voice, angry over the impending traffic that he was caught up in. He honked his car, drawing the attention of the passengers in front.“What's going on over there?" he asked as soon as he saw the owner of the vehicle in front of him, and stepped out of his car.“I heard a diesel truck fell in the side pit while trying to swerve at the roundabout and they are trying to get it out. Right now, they are going on a one-way track, that's why we are in this situation” the old man replied, leaning on in his car to rest up."Thank you," Bruce said to the man and proceeded to step back into his vehicle as the line started moving.Taking a quick pause, he turned to his left and saw a figure seated in a taxi.“Jade," he whispered to himself, then shook his head. "No, it can be." He took another look. "She has the same hair color as Jade and her bracele
"What are we going to do?" Claire's mother asked herself. "I need to tell Claire about this, she will know how to handle it," she said and returned to her room shocked by the scene before her.Claire finished with her call and walked into the parlor to find Bruce seated in a corner with his eyes on his iPad and glancing at the TV.“So, he watches TV," She muttered to herself. Since she knew him, it was the first time she saw him watching T. V. The fact that it was a popular romance drama baffled her the most."What was going on in his mind? This was the almighty Bruce Ace for crying out loud," she mattered, shrugged and walked up the stairs to find her daughter.She found Claire lying down peacefully on her bed, looking through some fashion magazines scattered around her.“Claire, what have you got there? You are so engrossed in those magazines. Do you want to open a fashion house?" Claire's mother asked.Chuckling at her words, “Well, as a young lady I need to keep up with my fashion
Claire had gone to bed with a heavy heart she woke up cheerful. She sat on her bed, her eyes wandering around, and she frowned on remembering that Bruce slept in the adjoining room leaving her no chance to make an advance at him.She walked into the bathroom and quickly freshened up. She thought of the previous day's activity and her plans for the days ahead. She had to do something. There was no time to wait any longer to delay her plans. She moved hastily to her mom's room, knowing fully well that Bruce must have left for work. Claire frowned. He probably did so to prove the point that he had a tight schedule ahead to avoid meeting her for the date. She knocked on her mother's door. It was the beginning of the day things would change for the better between her and her husband, Bruce. The door opened, making a small sound.“ What's wrong with you? It's unusual for you to still be in bed till now. Is everything alright?" Claire inquired, her tone bearing an affectionate tune. The moth
They had a peaceful breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes dipped in honey with platters of fruits and smoothies to go with. When the table was cleared, they didn't encounter Maria.Claire went up to her room to dress up as it was approaching mid afternoon and she needed to leave to meet up with Bruce at work. She decided to put on a red slitted dress that had silver beads on it , glittering when walking directly under light. She had her hair pack in a bun with some part left loose, creating a rough but seductive look. Her lips were deep red and she wore a black heel sandal that brought out the put together everything she was wearing.She checked herself out in the mirror and felt contended. She looked good. More than she had even imagined.“Oh my, you look so beautiful. I knew you will do the needful” her mother chorused.Claire smiled at her mother's words and muttered lightly, "Take care of yourself. I will be back soon. I hope it goes positive”.She walked out to the car whic
She got down and walked into a fashion house, she planned on getting a nice lingerie that would make her plan go smoothly.“Hello, ma'am. Please, what do you want to buy?" a young salesgirl walked up to her to ask.“Oh, nothing much, just some nice pairs of lingerie and maybe a few dresses that would catch my fancy" she replied.“Okay, we have all that. Please come with me while I show you the nicest pairs we have".Claire followed the young girl while scanning around for anything that could interest her. Oblivious to her, three mature ladies who had decided to come shopping were muttering to each other as soon as she made her request.She followed the sales girl who was humble to the dressing room, tried on some pairs of lingerie and fell in love with the red full-body piece. She loved the way the lingerie packed her boobs and shaped her little waist tighter, creating a seductive meal that no man would refuse. She agreed to pick a short green gown that stopped at her mid-thighs. She b
Claire stirred in her sleep as she felt the morning sunlight hit her hard in her face, she turned to her side and stretched her hands feeling Bruce beside her. Her eyes widened.She did it. She quickly opens her eyes and sees Bruce who is up and seated with an unreadable expression written all over his face.“ Good morning Bruce" she greeted sleepily.“ What happened yesterday? Why am I naked and what are we doing here?" Bruce asked. He had woken thinking it was his room back home, only to find Claire naked beside him and clothes on the ground. He looked dazedly trying to recall what had happened but couldn't.Claire looked at him and knew the drugs had made him forgetful of last night's incident.“ Well, you got what you always wanted. You got me here because you wanted a child and that's what we did. We had sex last night as you can see" Claire answered carefully." We did what? What did you do to me?” Bruce questioned eyeingly.“ We made passionate love and you want to ruin the mo
After breakfast, Claire walked into her room and laid her back against the bed stand. She took out her phone and swiped slowly, clicking on her mail. She saw she had a new mail, and she hurriedly clicked on it, her eyes bulging out as she had her face dazed at the screen.“I knew, she was up to no good. She is a spy like I thought. Working for him. Bruce would be amazed at this information" Claire smiled, delighted at the discovery of the information gotten from her Intel. Sliding into her slides which a squeaky mouse when she moves. She liked the softness of the shoe and found it adorable and had to purchase it. She wore it and walked down to her mother's room, where she finds her almost every time of the day either on her gadget or reading a magazine.“ Mom, sit up. I have something to share with you" Claire said, making space for herself on the bed.“What could that be? I thought you'd gone up to rest”.“ I'll do that later after I have told you what I came here for. Read this for
“If this is true, Hugh Steele won't see what will be coming. It will hit so hard on the face that he won't get to rise again. I see he is playing smart. Planting a spy right under my roof to get something on me. He should have known that I don't play dirty even though I did. I wouldn't be so stupid to have it under my roof” Bruce said with a hoarse voice after assimilating the information on the phone." I had my suspicions against her right from the time I heard she came in the same day the previous maid left. It was all too coincidental and she has this special aura that gives me the feeling of a bloodbath and I knew I had to do some digging. Well, Hugh Steele was very careful to clean up any traces left and leave the simplest and unimportant information on her. But he should have known that nothing stays hidden for long at least not in this case” Claire responded evenly." Hmm, you did a good job on this. For the first time, I got fooled by a mere worker and gave her a free pass to
