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’
“Alright, first of all, you seduce him into the bedroom,” Jennie’s mother explained to Jennie as she pointed to the child who was playing mindlessly with his toys.“Mum, there is a child here,” Jennie snapped in fear. “You obviously can’t be serious about what you’re doing.”“Oh, but I am. I want to educate you on sex so you will use that ability to trap him.”Jennie smacked her forehead as she looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation.“You can say this in a place that is secured or in a secret place mum. Saying it out here in a park with a child present is weird and wrong.”“Relax, church girl,” chuckled her mother. “I said so many sexual words while you were still young and I’m pretty sure you didn’t catch on. You turned out great.”“Barely, as I’m trying to trap a man with my body.”“When you say it like that it’s weird. All you have to do is make sure he gets you pregnant and that brings us back to our topic which I would gladly want to talk to you ab
Richardson punched the bag with everything in him, sweating and heaving like he had been going for hours. Maybe it was because he had been going for hours at the bag.He had been in the gym in the estate, punching his feelings out on the bag. He was taking out his frustration on the bag and he was not going easy on it.He wished at that moment that he was a superhero who could punch holes into the bag but beating it up was fine.With each punch he gave out, he remembered what had happened at the meeting the other day and it got him even more angry as he increased his punches with more rage.Ever since that video of him had been shared amongst everyone at the meeting that day, he had been extremely worried and had been trying to find out who had been behind it.He had tried calling up Philip to ask for his help but Tom had rejected the idea. The old man had suggested that they keep their suspicions to themselves.They knew how everyone hated the heir, they only needed to find out who h
