“You should’ve just told them all the same, after all we are getting divorced, aren’t we?” I commented nonchalantly, but immediately regretted it.
“Well- I didn’t… think of that. I guess we’ll never find out how that would have gone now, would we?” She asked sarcastically and went silent.
I shouldn’t have mentioned the divorce because she’s clearly upset now. The rest of the ride was upsettingly quiet and suffocating.
At this point I don’t even know why I’m angry. Maybe it’s because I met Daniel at the station? She had the time to call Daniel and not me, so who in their right mind would be pleased knowing that? Plus the fact that she admitted she almost kissed him.
She left the car and went straight upstairs to our room. She washed up and quickly got dressed for bed.
I swear her sleeping wears are just one way to hellish paradise for me. If she wasn’t looking very tired, I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself tonight.
So I allowed her to sleep as I too soon drifted off to sleep right beside her, and it felt so right.
Heather
Mr Rude finds different ways to surprise. Like how he decided to personally supervise the project between our companies.
This meant that he would be at S. Group every other day he feels like swooping in, and everyday that happens becomes hellish for me.
“Let’s go on a date tomorrow afternoon, I have no consultations so I’ll be free. What do you think? A romantic afternoon eating roadside snacks and visiting new places in this city.” Kevin requested.
Lately he has been asking for more from our relationship, and I feel i might hurt his pride if I tell him that he’s just my booty call.
“I can’t tomorrow, I have to be at the office till 8pm. Mr. Rude would be there tomorrow to do some supervision and I don’t want to give him any reason to react.” I responded, thanking the heavens that I didn’t have to lie this time around.
“This Jeffery-guy gets to play with my girlfriend almost everyday in the week, and I can’t even get just one afternoon with you? I know you can call in sick or take a day off tomorrow, why won’t you do that little for us?” He questioned rudely.
Ok, let’s back up a bit here. When I say I’m busy I don’t expect anyone to try to convince me otherwise. And if I wanted someone that would bug me, then I wouldn’t have gotten myself a boy toy but a husband instead.
“I have so much work as it stances now, I don’t need you to start with your bickering, ok?” I requested exhaustedly.
“Of course it’s bickering to you, but to me I just need closure. What exactly am I to you Heather?” he asked surprising me.
I put my work on hold and closed my laptop, it’s not everyday I get asked these type of questions. I climbed into the bed where he laid and cuddled him.
Maybe I’m not prepared to answer his question, or maybe I know what comes after that. Kevin, is a nice guy, cute, sexy and has very good manners, but he lacks the element of suspense.
“You are very important to me Kevin, let’s not ruin that by asking for more.”
I felt him jolt in surprised. I think I still ended up hurting him as he moved away from me and slithered off the bed to put on his clothes that were littered on the floor.
“And where are you going? It’s way past midnight.” I asked knowing very well he’s upset with me.
I don’t blame him, it’s my fault actually. I should have stated his position from the start and not let him guess where he stood with me.
“I can’t stay here now, can I? For the past few months I thought I had a girlfriend with a tight schedule, only to find out two nights ago that I’m just a booty call to you. An important friend you say? i wonder how many of those ‘important friends’ you have on your speed-dial.” he stated upset.
I didn’t say anything, I couldn’t make things any worse so I just let him go. Honestly, he looked very hot the way he stormed off and I couldn’t help thinking maybe, just maybe he isn’t what I pictured he was.
Maybe he was more. I couldn’t sleep at all, neither could I get any work done. This is not the kind of distraction i needed now, this is too overwhelming and I don’t like it.
It’s affecting my work, meaning business is at stake. And if business is at stake then the board members would lose trust in me, and when that happens it means that Daniel would eventually win without any qualms.
At the office I get to deal with Mr. Rude that gives me a different kind of migraine. We have cleared the fact that we don’t like each other but are willing to work together strictly because we are professionals.
“You didn’t strike me as an incompetent business partner, but I must state that this is the lousiest project I’ve ever embarked on. When it comes to my business you should know that I don’t mind being uncut and brute towards anyone who tries to jeopardize my efforts.” He stated rudely.
I know I’m being lousy but its just a simple mistake in the draft. If someone else had heard him speak they’ll think I’ve been useless since the start of this project.
“I’ll work on it again, there’s no need to over exaggerate.” I recited tiredly.
The look on his face seemed like I had just told him his dog died.
“Over exaggerating? May I remind you just how much money my company put into this? My money will not be wasted on unproductive project just so you know.” He replied unreasonably.
“Fine, fine, I get it. I already said I’ll redo my work and present it tomorrow, for now can I just be left alone? I’m not feeling like fighting with you today,” I replied.
“Scoff, You should really learn to prioritize your personal life and business, you know? Your boy-problems shouldn’t affect our business.” He stated before leaving my office.
Grrr… he gets me all rilled up every time I see him. Who told him I’m having a boy-problem anyway? Can’t I not be happy just for the sake of it? He is just a plain old joe with no joy. I can’t stand him.
Apart from Jeffery’s problem I still have my brother’s trouble to contend with. I wonder why I haven’t been able to get my hands on a tangible solid plan that would guarantee I remained in my position. On-top of all that, I couldn’t get hold of Livy all day.
If I can’t get through to her then I won’t know for sure what Daniel might be up to over there. I picked up the newest edition of the Forbes’ business magazine and saw Markian on the front page.
Getting married to Livy may have been strictly business, but slowly I think those kids are starting to develop strong deep connection than they had intended.
I couldn’t help but wonder about all that I sacrificed and still willing to sacrifice for S. group. Was it all worth it?
I smiled sadly. There was a time when I had really believed in happily ever after, but that feels like a really long time ago now and I can barely remember it.
At this point, with all i’ve sacrificed, I don’t think one more would hurt. I think I might have to resort to an arranged marriage in order to strengthen my position in S. Group and beat Daniel.
**********************************************
…”Pardon me boss, but didn’t our plan fail? Why does it seem like you are satisfied with the outcome?”
“Because it was never planned to be successful, I just cleared a little path. Now watch how I plant something more powerful than your imagination.”
“Does this mean we are still on?”
“Yes, so be prepared. Any day now our plan will be set in motion.”
“Understood. I’ll keep in touch until then”
Call ends….
Felicity’s death was just an added feature to help exact my revenge and make sure that Olivia Markian Winfrey will never have a blissful married life, and it’ll be my doing.
No one deserves to be by the side of that despicable, manipulative tramp, and no one hates her more than I do.
And very soon, very very soon, I’ll have everyone around her turn against her one by one until there’s no one left. Nobody really knows her, they only know what she makes them believe. But once they find out exactly who she really is, they’ll finally understand.
I’d be doing them a favor by exposing her soon, and I don’t care how many people I have to get rid of in other to do so because she destroyed my entire life.
Getting my pound of flesh is all that matters now, nothing more or less.
