The next day, Dustin was on his way home. Surprisingly, someone was at home waiting for him. He had received a call from one of the security at his home.“Hello sir, I am sorry to call you at this hour, but there's a woman here who won't leave no matter what we tell her!” the guard said.“That's absurd. Chase her away.” Dustin said. “I'm not expecting any woman.” He was especially surprised because Alara wasn't a stranger to his home.And he wasn't seeing any woman at the moment, and even Paula and her sister were famous people who would instantly get recognized.But the guard said again, “sir. She claimed to be your ex wife. But we find it hard to believe,” “And what is her name?” Dustin had to ask.“She says Laura. And she's still waiting sir. Should we send her away already?” asked the guard.Dustin frowned. “No. Let her stay. I'm almost home already.” He replied.On getting home, he met her waiting just outside where the guard must have placed her.“Dustin. So it is really your h
When it was morning and Laura had long left his side, Dustin decided to call the old man Thiago.“Hello sir, I have changed my mind.” He told the man. “I will try everything possible to treat your dear wife.” He said to the man.“Thank you so much then. I will send my men to come pick you up where ever you may be.” Thiago said, excitedly. After a while, Dustin met with some men who were on uniforms. They didn't look wicked like Ezra’s men. In fact, they caused no problem at all. “We're here to escort you to lord Thiago house.” One of them in front said. Dustin nodded and followed them as they led him to a car parked outside.Soon enough, they arrived at a mansion. It was very big and pretty too.He was being led inside to the room where Thiago wife was kept.But in the living room, Thiago was already waiting.“You may go boys.” He said to the men who had brought Dustin in. They gave a bow, then all turned and walked out.“What are we doing here? I had thought we would be inside of h
Ezra was at home when he heard the news. He couldn't believe it as it all sounded so surprising to him. How can Thiago chase him out like that! So easily!“Hi,” Laura said to him as she walked in. Ezra frowned at her. “Well what are you doing here?” he asked, his brows all furrowed from the news he had heard.Laura tried to be as polite as she could. “You asked me to come here. That's why I've come. You know, to spend the night with you and all.” Laura said in a convincing tone.Truth was that she was only around because she wanted to get a footage of Ezra hitting her. As sad and embarrassing as it can be, she was prepared to do whatever it takes to get Ezra out of her life!She set her phone in the living room somewhere, hoping that he wouldn't notice. “Is everything alright?” she sat next to Ezra waiting to hear what he would say.“I don't remember asking you to come here. But since you are here now, don't annoy me okay? Just remain silent like nothing has happened.” He said calml
Thiago had made the call that day, and Ezra said he was on his way.Arriving at Thiago house, he walked over to the living room and took his seat.“Mr. Thiago. It's been a couple of days now and you're not saying anything still. I wonder what that Dustin is saying to you right now.” He said Thiago joined him and sat down. “Well, you're here now. That has to count for something.” He said to him.“See this,” Ezra said, then brought out some pills. “Every time I give them to your wife, she's always better, isn't it?” Ezra asked.“Well you seem to have connections with some really good doctors then, don't you.” Thiago said. “Too bad that Dustin was not even powerful enough to solve your wife's problem. Or was he successful?” Ezra said.“Apparently, he wasn't. He only did that day. The next day, my wife was already sick again. Dustin said something every funny however. But I wouldn't like to dwell on that.” Thiago said.“And what is that?” asked Ezra.“This pill you bring every week, how
Laura's mother came around and saw that Lorena was angry. Dustin walked out and they were talking together in an argument.She couldn't hear what they were saying but she heard a bit from it. And it was enough for her to hurry up and dial her daughter's number.“Hey! You won't believe it.” She began, “I heard something very surprising about Dustin and I just knew it. I knew something was up!” She said.Laura who was already on her way, rolled her eyes at her mother's story. “Mom, what is it now?” she frowned.“Wait, are you on your way somewhere?” She asked “Of course. I just got down from the cab. I'm on my way in.” Laura said.“Wait outside. I'm on my way to meet you!” She said, and with that, ran out like crazy. “Mom, what is it? Wait, what are you even doing here?” Laura frowned at her mother.“Honestly I come here often now. Dustin has really changed! And then, I met my old friend Lorena, who is by the way, hiding something very important.” explained her mother.“Wait, why are
Dustin shook his head in denial. “Laura, how far will you go with this lie? How can you even proudly say this?”“Because it's not a lie! I was hoping that I wouldn't have to say it to you. I thought that maybe I would have been better financially, but I guess I was wrong!” Laura said.Alara was watching through the drama. When she couldn't take it any more, she excused herself and shut the door gently behind. Deep down, although it wasn't in her position to speak at all, she knew that Laura was lying! Only looking for a means to trap Dustin.“We did sleep together at some point, and–”She was saying, but bit her lips almost immediately.Through out their marriage, the only time they'd shared passionate nights together was during their honeymoon phase! And that was early around two-four weeks after their wedding. After that time, Laura just seemed disappointed in him and never slept on his bed again!So how could she be pregnant for him! Dustin revealed a soft contending smile. She was
“What are you talking about, Tom?” Dustin frowned at him.“Boys! Bring the thief to me right now.” the bar owner said.His men dragged Dustin over to him. Tom was beside him,still proud of calling him a thief.“There's been a misunderstanding here, clearly!” Dustin said. “No. That diamond ring of yours, that you tell us about. It's missing. And guess who took it, him!” Tom said.“You're mad friend! How can you say that?!” Dustin exclaimed. “Diamond ring? What the hell?”“Check your secret place. Is it still there?” Tom said to the man. He looked around, then went in to check his supposed secret place. Running outside, he yelled. “No. It's gone! Don't let that man out of your sight. You have some explaining to do, young man.” He said to Dustin.“Tom, this isn't funny again. What do you mean I stole a diamond ring? Why would I even do that?” Dustin said to him.“Let me tell you why, because it looks very expensive!” Tom said, then turned to face the bar owner. “He said that he was br
He waited but nothing happened again. Then the bar owner walked outside. He was really tall for any man at all. Though slender too, he still looked intimidating.“You know, I've heard so much about men like you before. I just can't believe that I would happen to meet one here in real life.” He said to him.“Men like me?what's that's supposed to mean?” Dustin frowned.From the look of things, Dustin had a conclusion drawn. He would try to stall for as long as he could. Maybe somehow, Thiago would have finally picked up and come around. He would have called if Vincent and Bobby, but he wanted to solve this problem on his own.“Yes. Thieves. Liars. Arrogant fools.” Replied the man.“Let me just tell you this,” Dustin said. “I can save myself here. There are many ways I can do that. But for some reason, I find myself wanting to prove something to you. To never judge a book by its cover.” Dustin said.“I want a drink. Something very strong.” He said. The man roared out in laughter but he la
