*The next morning*I woke up to the loud screeching sound of a female scream and received a slap the second I opened my eyes. "What the!" I said as I immediately sat up in bed. "What happened?! Was there a cockroach? A spider? What?! Speak up already!" I said to Tamira."No, you perverted idiot! What are you doing in my bed?!" Tamira screamed at me. "Just that and you started to scream like a Banshee?!" I yelled back at her. "Just?! Just?! What gave you the right to enter my room and sleep in the same bed as me?!" Tamira shouted. "Well, for one, I am your husband and I have the absolute right," I said to Tamira. "And secondly, this was your mother's doing and not mine. Probably, she is trying to push you to your limit." I said to Tamira. "How do you mean?" she asked me. "Are you that ignorant of the kind of person your mother is? It's a clear thing. She is trying to force you into meeting up with your lover boy." I replied to Tamira. "Devon is not my lover boy." Tamira retorted
Devon POV: Xavier got up almost immediately after Tamira did and I found it suspicious because of the way he kept glancing back at her. "Excuse me," I said to Mrs. Wilson and got up. I went in search of Xavier just in case and found him when I was going up the stairs. He was standing under the staircase but I could see part of his phone. How come he was watching the front of Tamira's room door? Wait... Did he... I walked faster up the stairs and I hoped Tamira was not saying something she was going to regret saying later. On my way to Tamira's room, I spotted the particular camera that faced her door. I knew that kind of camera to have a very penetrating recording system when it comes to listening to people's conversations. I slowed my pace and entered the room casually because I knew that he will not just be listening but also still watching. I entered Tamira's room and somehow managed to see the name of who she was calling on the phone. It was Alex. Damn it! This girl was goi
I waited in my room and watched through the same camera on my phone. Roco came out of the room with Tamira and a car key in his hand. Where were they planning to go?I came out of my room and followed them at a safe distance. Tamira sat in front and Roco stayed in the driver's seat.They drove out of the gates and I entered my car and drove after them. I made sure that would not be seen and after some blocks where passed, Roco stopped the car and dropped Tamira in front of a building.She waved at him and he continued the rest of the way without her. That was strange... I followed Roco instead of watching Tamira. She was none of my business after all.He continued to drive for twenty minutes more and I was beginning to question if he was going someplace within this country or out because the entire drive from the mansion was a full-on one hour.He kept taking strange turns and sometimes I felt like I had already gone past some places. I've had enough of this! I went closer and closer
I didn't know if it was just his bad aim or my good luck but thankfully, Xavier's bullet scratched me only on the side of my stomach.I used the shovel and covered up the hole in which I had I had thrown Xavier. I wondered why he had a shovel in the booth of his car. Until I saw the shovel, my original plan was just to throw him into the thick bushes.I finished up and drove Xavier's car into a corner in some different set of bushes that hid it well. Now how will I get back to the mansion? This place is empty. The longer I stay away then the higher any suspicion of me would grow.Just as I was stuck wondering how to get back, I saw a truck far off. I ran towards the road and stood at the roadside as I waited for the truck to come near me. I made sure to hide the side of my stomach with my other hand and I waved at the truck. "Hey! Hey! Help! Please pull over!" I shouted. Luckily for me, I was noticed and the truck driver stopped near me.I went to the truck and looked through its win
In the heat of the moment, I wondered if I could tell Tamira about Xavier. How I was almost killed and that was how I found out about the Will.Still, I wasn't sure if Xavier's words were the truth. Me being swapped with Tamira at birth and Mr. Wilson handing everything to me.But why would Xavier use that as a form of lie? There is some truth in what he said and until I find out for sure, I cannot let Tamira know about anything concerning it and about me killing Xavier. I don't know what she will start viewing me as."You know... Underneath all the arguments and quarrels they usually had, I thought they loved each other but this changed everything. Even while their father was sick, his mother seemed to only care about his money and property. On the day of the reading of the Will, the Will was nowhere to be found." Tamira said and then scoffed."Maybe they weren't mentioned in it after all," she added."You mean you believe what I am saying?" I asked her, surprised at how she took it
Tamira POV: I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. My first thoughts were 'Where the hell am I?' Suddenly, I recalled what had happened earlier. It was my mother. I had to get back to the mansion. I don't know what she would do to Devon. I can't let her harm him. I dipped my hand in my pocket and at the same time looked around for my purse. My mother had abandoned me here with nothing, not even a phone. Now I am done with it. I fell to my knees in a burnt surrounding with which I felt no familiarity and I cried my eyes out. What am I supposed to do now? I'm trapped here and will most likely starve here. After some minutes passed and it was slowly beginning to approach the night, I got on my feet. I could not just seat and wait for my fate to be decided by my situation. I had to find someone or at least some place which I can recognize my way back home through. I went in search of a road I could follow and in no time, I found one. I walked for what felt like hours w
I arrived at the party which was already in full swing by the time I got there. "You finally made it. I was doubting if you would come at all," he added as he approached me. "How could I ever miss it when my manager just won't get off my back about it?" I replied. "Meet Alberto Del. He is your opponent for the upcoming match this Saturday." my manager said as he gestured me towards a man in a suit who held a wine glass in his hand. "Ah, Jason. It's nice to finally meet you." Alberto Del said to me. We shook hands with each other, "Good that I can see what will be your past face by the time I beat you to a pulp." I replied to Alberto Del. Our hands parted from the shake, "I like your confidence, my man. It's too bad it's not going to last till when you enter the ring." Alberto Del said to me. We both looked at each other, all smiles, but with a hidden fury in our eyes. Alberto had somehow managed to maintain his championship for two years but he should be ready for me. I'm the o
I sat down and began to think but no idea came to mind on what to do. "Maybe there is the help we can reach?" Alex said. "Who?" I asked. "I don't think the authorities can do anything about this," I added. "Not the authorities but Mr. Cranston," Alex said. "What? Who the hell is that?" I asked Alex. "He used to be our rival in the mafia but turned into our partner. I think he can help. I'm sure he still gates our mother and will do anything to bring her down." Alex explained. "No-no-no Alex. I do not want to get involved with a gang." I instantly said. "Even the thought of it is horrible. This could turn out very bad for us." I said. "Do you have any better ideas?" Alex asked me, his arms folded across his chest as he waited for my answer. "No." I hesitantly replied. "Which means we are going with my idea," Alex said. To that, I remained silent. Alex came closer to me and put his arms around me, hugging me, "don't worry Tamira. Everything is going to be fine." he said to me.
