Crime

Troy's ear was waiting for Vivienne's reply, his heart was thumping in his chest.

“What are you doing here!." Nancy's father asked, Troy was too invested in the discussion between his wife and his mother in law that he didn't hear his father in law coming down the stairs, now he had been caught, he felt embarrassed.

“Can you believe it, this looser is eavesdropping on your conversation." Mr Wyatt said pulling Troy by his collar and dragging him to the living room.

“I'm sorry. I was just trying to listen to what Vivienne was saying, who is Francis!." Troy asked as the matter was too sensitive for him to overlook.

" You have the balls to ask me who Francis is, Father can you imagine this lunatic." Vivienne said feigning sadness.

" Go to your room, you have no business in knowing who Francis is." Mrs Nancy said to Troy.

" I have no business... Vivienne is my wife, I have the right to know who Francis is. She said she's getting closer to him, what does that mean Vivienne, are you having extra marital affairs?!." Troy asked his wife.

For a second Vivienne stared at Troy with true sadness in her eyes, she saw how much she had hurt Troy, although she never meant to hurt him, they were just not on the same level any longer. She was determine to get rid of him.

She was made a CEO of the Williams Enterprise eight months ago and she was already making hundreds of millions.

With that amount of wealth she was a rising Star in her way to stardom. The spotlights were already shining down at her as her beauty captured the eyes of many.

Troy was a dirty smear on her reputation and she needed a rich and competent husband by her side. Unknowing to her, Troy was the one that had gotten her the position in the first place since she was only doomed to be an ordinary office clerk, if only she knew that Troy was the reason she was made CEO of the Williams Enterprise, she would see how much of a rare gem he truly is.

"Are you sleeping with someone else?." Troy asked her, he felt his heart wringing in his chest. Sadness left her eyes and then it was filled with determination.

"Daddy you stand here while he calls your daughter a whore?." Vivienne said.

Troy saw Mr Wyatt raise his hand in anger to slap Him, he wanted to hold Mr Wyatt's hand in the air but he could not, The hard hands landed on his cheeks, Troy's ear was ringing with a shrilling sound.

“I've had enough of your beatings, I'm a grown man and I have the right to know who Mr Francis is because he had business with my wife." Troy said. He was still being respectful even though they push his buttons.

" This is unbelievable." Mrs Nancy gasped.

Troy looked around the room and saw that none of them were going to answer his question, not even Vivienne, so he decided to leave the living room and go to sleep

He slept with an empty stomach and he could hardly get the thought of his wife cheating out of his head. She could call him names, she could make him do the dirty works, she could withhold care, love and attention from him but how could she go naked under the covers with another man.

Troy was troubled as he slept, he was haunted by nightmares. He woke up and he took his bath, he got dressed and he met the family eating in the dining table. The smell of food made him hungrier and his belly growled.

He was never allowed in the table anyways, he would get insulted if he tried to ask for food so he left for work.

***

It was late afternoon and Troy was still hungry. He was called to clean the bedroom of a customer, he knocked on the door as the usual protocol and a man with jet black hair opened the door.

The man was wearing the hotel's towel around his waist and he looked muscular, like he worked out frequently.

“I'm Troy, the janitor. I came to clean the room. I usually don't do this when the customers are still inside but my manager asked me to come, hope I didn't interrupt anything." Troy said keeping his tone polite and dropping his mop bucket beside the door.

" I can see that you're the janitor, no need for introduction." The guy said looking at Troy from head to toe and seeing how faded and worn out his jumpsuit looked.

“And, you didn't interrupt anything, I'm already done with the ACT... If you know what I mean." The guy said with a dirty smirk and a wink.

Troy managed a short smile In order not to seem rude to a customer and he walked through the door and he stepped into the room.

" Francis, baby come back to bed." A soft feminine voice said, the voice broke through Troy as if he swallowed a grinade. He knew that voice, it belonged to his wife, Vivienne.

“Vi-vi-enne wh-..." Starry said as he stammered trying to find his tongue. Vivienne sat up immediately and then she stared at Troy with wide eyes.

She was obviously naked and she was laying under the comforter. Her brunette hair was messy due to the rough sex she just had. Troy's heart was wringing in his chest as his nightmare became a reality.

" Baby, do you know this guy?." Francis asked, Troy turned to him.

“That's my wife!." Troy told Francis.

“You must be getting something all wrong... Wait, Vivie you told me that your husband was trashy you didn't tell me that he was just a dirty janitor." Francis said to Vivienne and they both started laughing.

“Do you think it's funny. How do you go to sleep at night Francis, knowing that you're having sex with another man's wife?." Troy asked Francis.

“You're just a live-in-son-in-law you should not qualify yourself as her husband. We both know that you wouldn't have the opportunity to call someone this rich your wife, you deserve a pauper just like yourself." Francis said.

Troy was furious. He didn't know what pushed him to do it, but he only thought about it after he had swung a punch at Francis.

Francis touched his bleeding lips.

“Baby, are you okay, oh my gosh you're bleeding.... Troy look at what you've done!." Vivienne said slapping Troy.

She ran over to the phone and she called security. The security team in the hotel acted super fast because the only people using the hotel are rich people, they need to be protected at all cost. People like Troy would be punished.

In a very short while, Starry was being held by two men while four others gathered around.

“I am so sorry." The manager of the hotel pleaded to Francis for the heinous crime Troy had committed.

“I will never use this establishment again and call it defamation but I'll let my friends know that they won't be safe here either so they better not try and come here." Francis said to the manager who went into sudden shock, he hated it when he lost just a single customer, Francis looked rich and popular, if he spoke one bad word about their hotel the establishment would close down.

The manager turned to Troy and he slapped Troy.

“You're going to rot In jail for this!." The manager shouted, Troy started bleeding because the manager's rings had broken his skin.

“I caught my wife sleeping with this man and this is what I get, I'm the bad guy?." Troy asked.

It was obvious that Francis didn't love Vivienne and he was using her just for her body, but she was blinded by his status and wealth.

“What do you want us to do with him, anything you say we will do but please don't stop using this hotel, you'll be very safe after you're done with this bastard." The manager said to Francis who had a wide grin.

" Throw him in jail!." Francis demanded.
