I punched the table when Dane and Cooper came out. Cooper told me she wants to visit Lileth and I can’t say no. But what I am thinking about is what he said that there is a group chat and everyone knows that Lileth cheated on me. I trusted Cooper so I knew he was telling the truth. But I wonder who the conversation came from and who spread it?
I have no enemy. I don’t know if anyone secretly hated me when we were still in school but I didn’t care. That is why I hate having a friend because I don’t want to be exposed to others. Cooper is the only friend I have though I know he is gay.
Yes, I know he was gay before we became friends because I saw him kiss a guy but it doesn’t bother me. I don’t care about everyone’s business as long as it won’t affect me. It is his choice so who am I to judge him if he is not meddling with me.
When he confessed that he likes my sister at first I had a doubt thinking that maybe he only wants to use my sister. But when I saw how eager he is, I came up with the idea that maybe he’s bi and not totally gay. And honestly, I like him more to be Dane’s lover.
If what Cooper said about the GC is true, can’t we just be the same batch as Lileth’s man? But, who? Who the fuck he is? I need to know who Lileth’s man is. I need to know who he is. But Lileth doesn’t want to admit it to me.
“Sir, is someone looking for you?” My secretary informed me.
“Who?”
“Sir Dylan.” I frown my forehead when I heard Dylan’s name. What does he need from me?
“Let him in.” Dylan doesn’t come directly to the office. Not because I banned him or someone blocked him but because he knows I hate when someone came without asking my permission first.
Dylan and I are ok. Though we are not that close we are not an enemy either. We don’t really talk for no reason at all. Honestly, all my siblings.
“Wazzap!”
“What do you need?” I asked and held out my hand to seat him.
“You will not be asked if I wanted wine?”
“You already have a lot in your house and anywhere you own. Besides, you won’t come here if you don’t need anything, right?”
“Your genius. And because you are straightforward, I will be honest with you. Why didn’t you take Lileth to the hospital?” I silently clench my fist. Fuck Dale. He’s so fucking talkative.
“Dale told you?” I stood up and headed for the wine section. I took one bottle with a glass.
“He came from my office and we talked about something. And he just mentioned about Lileth.” I went back and then handed him a glass.
“Just soaked in the cold but she’s fine. Keisha came and checked her and she said Lileth was ok.”
“That’s odd of you, Dave. As far as I remember, you were the first to get confused even if Lileth had a cold then.” He drank the wine and took the bottle then stumbled.
“Lileth doesn’t want to go to the hospital, Dylan. If me, I wanted to bring her but she insists that she’s ok and she can rest at home.”
“Ah!”
“Is there something wrong, Dylan?”
“Nothing.” Then he stood up and walked away.
“What the hell, Dylan? You just came here for that?” But instead of answering, he just drank and turned away. “Dylan!”
“Have a nice day,” he replied then left. What the hell is wrong with him? Not that I’m scared of Dylan but fuck! I know how he takes care of Lileth. And I also knew that once he knew I was hurting my wife he would be able to do me. And when it comes to Lileth, maybe Dylan can kill me without hesitation.
I don’t know how many hours I’ve been bent overthinking. My attention was caught when my secretary came in and said goodbye. When I look at the wall clock I noticed it was already five. I just nod at her and then she leaves. I pick up my things and then decide to go home.
While on the road Dylan was still on my mind. Does he already know? Have a clue? Taking action? Do I have to worry? Fuck! Why am I bothered by him? I am the husband so what does he care?
I was in front of the gate when I saw a black Mazda MX-5 outside the gate. Fuck! I have no one known to have such a sports car other than Dylan. That’s one of his collections.
I park my car outside and quickly enter. I am expecting Lileth to greet me but she wasn’t there.
“Good afternoon sir,” one of the maids greeted me.
“Where’s my wife?”
“In your room?”
“Dylan is here?”
“Yes, it’s inside too.” I did not answer and immediately went to the bedroom. When I opened it they was not inside. Until I heard their voices on the veranda.
“Please, Damon, stop it.”
“I won’t stop, Lileth, until you will admit8. Why, are you afraid of Dave?”
“Damon, there is no truth in what you are saying.”
“Fuck! Then what is that ha? Why do you have bruises?”
“Damon, Dave is my husband, I get this when —– when we make love.”
“Stop lying, Lileth.”
“There’s no reason to lie, Damon, I’m telling the truth.”
“Why didn’t Dave take you to the hospital when you got sick?”
“I’m the one who said that I don’t need it.”
“Fuck!”
“Damon, my husband and I don’t have a problem so please stop looking for a problem with us.” I didn’t hear anything from Dylan. “You can leave.”
“You know me right, Lileth?” he asks.
“What do you mean?”
“You know how nasty I am when I want to and you also that my guts never fail me. And you’re not exempted.”
“Damon,”
“Are you scared of Dave? Is he scaring you?”
“Of course not.”
“You can leave him and come with —-”
“What happened here?” I entered them on the veranda to face them. I don’t seem to like what Dylan says next.
“Nothing,” Lileth answered.
“And why you’re here, Dylan? ‘Aren’t you from my office to clarify the issue and now you are here?”
“I came here to visit your wife.”
“Inside our room?”
“She didn’t want to go out so I entered.”
“Dustine,” Lileth called to me but I didn’t answer.
“She doesn’t want to go out which means she doesn’t want to talk to you.”
“That’s why I came in.”
“Didn’t you think that what if I really hurt her and when you leave she will be more get hurt?” He couldn’t answer because of what I said. “What will you do if your suspicion is correct?”
“What will I do?” He approached me and pressed his face to mine. “I will kill you. Do you want me to do it now?” As I expected. Because he showed me his gun stuck in his waistband.
“Damon, go.” But he did not listen. He just stared at me which I resisted until Lileth pushed him away. “What is it, Damon? My husband and I have no problems but because of your interference, it is unlikely to have. Please, don’t bother us as you did to Dane’s friend. Dustine and I are ok. We are ok so stop meddling with us.” She keeps pushing Dylan.
“My wife is driving you away, Dylan.”
“It won’t take too long, remember that I have a lot of eyes here.” And he leaves. I looked at Lileth who was staring at me. You are always the source of the problem.
