Alice walked slowly through the street as she tried her best to stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She had to contain them inside. She hated that she did not have enough money to get the stupid women thrown out of the lounge like how Jennie had been able to throw her and Michael out of the boutique with a single phone call.Michael was not as powerful as he used to be. She had been proud of him after he had attempted to have Jennie thrown out but it had only been a temporary joy, as soon enough Jennie had them pushed out in the most embarrassing way possible.Her mind wandered to Richardson as she wondered what it would take to have him back to her side again.She had tried everything only to be rejected every now and then.There had to be something she could do that would get him to her side. But it was going to take a lot from her.She had tried seducing him but it had only ended up in a bad way. She had to come up with other ways to get him to her.He was rich enough to
Richardson hadn’t intended to splash Alice water on purpose. He had not even known she was the one his driver had splashed water on. He had been busy with the meeting he was having over his laptop and had only asked his driver to stop after hearing someone scream.After a few seconds of the incident, he watched as someone battered against his window before rounding the car asking that the driver open the door and face her.Rolling his window down, he was shocked to find out it was Alice. He seemed to be bumping into her too much these days. He had to find other routes to avoid doing that.He looked at her from her head to her toe to find her drenched in dirty water. He wasn’t that petty to splash her water on purpose. It had been a genuine mistake.He realized that there was no need to get into a fight with her as it was beneath him. He had no choice but to apologize.Getting out of the car, he smiled at her expecting the worst.“I’m sorry Alice,” he sighed. “It wasn’t my intention,
She watched him for sometime, marveling at how he had changed as she attempted to start up a conversation.That was the best way she could connect with him to know what was going on in his life.“So, I…” she started to say as a phone started to ring.She wondered if it was from the phone he was playing the game in as she was confused when he put his hand into his pocket to get out the latest phone which had not even been released into the market yet.She watched the phone closely as he opened it up, glaring at him put the phone on his ears to answer the call. The diamond rings on his fingers glittered in the dim light getting her full attention.They had to be real diamonds. She could tell as she was an expert on jewelry. She could see through the fake and through the real ones.She listened to him talk as he also seamlessly handled the laptop before him without effort. He switched between phone and laptop like they were nothing and she started to find him more attractive.She revele
“It’s fine,” she sighed, giving up on her dreams to get him for herself as she knew it would not work. “I’m really grateful for all of this.”Without waiting for a reply, she alighted his car as his driver took off with the door closing automatically.When she alighted and he drove off, she watched him drive away feeling annoyed and frustrated.Annoyed that he had declined all her proposals and frustrated that all her seduction poses and attempts had been ignored. What kind of a man was he anyway?Other men would have fallen for her tricks. Richardson was proving to be more stubborn than any man she had ever met on this planet.From the gathering where she had tried seducing him in the bathroom, to the office she had attempted that again and now in his car. They had all been an epic fail all because the man was too stubborn to heed to her seductive tricks.With a shrug, she started for the apartment, getting into the elevator to get to Michael’s floor.***While walking towards her ap
“What happened to you?” he asked, pointing to her dress as he picked up his trousers to wear.She waved it off as if it was nothing. Alice didn’t want to tell him about it being from Richardson. He would start to suspect that she was having an affair with the man and start to speculate that the mess on her dress was a cover up.She had to cover her tracks well. And even if she was with Richardson, she would prefer staying with him than the bum before her. At least Richardson had the money and the class to give her anything she wanted and she was guaranteed to have the immunity of getting kicked out of stores. She had been kicked out once but that once had led to the embarrassment she had faced today. She was still angry at what was going on. She could not do anything but control her breathing before she would explode and say things which she would not be able to take back, not that she would want to do so anyway.The stain on his mouth irritated her while he chewed noisily.“Stop d
They both stared at each other in hatred wanting so much to rip out each other’s throats.He wanted her to feel the pain she was causing him and she wanted him to do the same.She had gone through a lot that day only to come home and find him laying around like nothing mattered.While other successful men worked out there, he was staying home playing video games. Did he think the money for her new bags and new clothes were going to drop from the sky? He had to work if he was ever thinking of affording them.“I got embarrassed today because of the stupid stunt you pulled off at the store with Richardson’s girlfriend the other day,” she said, ripping off the band aid and telling him as straight as it was.“And you’re just putting all the blame on me…”“Yes!” She yelled. “Maybe if you have more self control anytime you see that girl you would not be dropping me in your little problems every now and then.”“Are you seriously blaming me for what happened? I was there with you too.”“Yeah,
He wanted to impress her and show her that he could handle whatever can be thrown at him.He knew he had to keep up with his apologies if he was going to have a relationship after today.“Baby,” he said, bending on his haunches. She gave him a nasty side eye before going on with her makeup wipes. “I said I was sorry. I know what I said out there was wrong and I shouldn’t have brought your father into the mix.”She ignored him as she started to spray something over her face.“I don’t know if you can find it in your heart to forgive me. You were right with the words you said about me going to work and I promise to do better.”He went in for a hug but she pushed him away standing to her feet in a hurry.He stood to his feet in anger. What was she even doing?“What the hell, Alice?” he asked in shock with his arms outspread. “I’m not in the mood,” she said as she folded her arms in the middle of the room.“And there was no other way to tell me that but push me away?” he asked, getting an
The two men listened with solemn silence as their friend talked about everything — from the horrible way he was getting treated down to the bag she had gotten without letting him know where it was coming from.They were shocked by the recent attitude she had displayed as the two men looked at each other with a sad smile and a nod.Michael finished his story with a smile, “And that’s that. I’m here, sitting in a bar with you two.”Danny was the first to talk as he picked up his glass, “I’m pretty sure it isn’t my place to say this but I think your wife is cheating on you.”“She isn’t my wife… yet,” Michael corrected. “And I had that hunch that she was cheating but I dropped it aside. I don’t think it’s possible.”“Dude,” Paul butted in. “You said she got a ten thousand dollars bag with her money. I know women and I can tell you that it isn’t her money. Since you didn’t give her the money to get it, then it means someone is giving it to her.”“I hate to agree with Paul over here but he’
