“I will give it a try, all you need is Nate phone, right?” Claire asked and stood up from the chair.
“Yeah, I didn’t ask for much, get me his phone and I will help you get him, as promised” Susan smile, Susan doesn’t have any intention of getting Nate for her, she was just fooling her and luckily for her Claire fell for it.
“I’ll get going” Claire said and walked out.
Three days later
“You will have to go back your husband house” Nate said and Oliver snap her head at him, she doesn’t expect him to send her out now, is he tired of her already? How could he think of sending her out now that she needed them most.
“Did I do anything to you? Did I offend you?” She found herself asking and Nate shake his head negatively.
“Then he is just tired of me, maybe I am inconveniencing him, he has really tried for me” what did she expect, did she expects him to fall in love with her as she does.
“I don’t know what’s going on in that head of yours, but what ever is going on isn’t the truth, I am only helping you, we can’t get any evidence if you didn’t go back to your husband, you have to be in his house to get evidence, because I am very sure he will abuse you once you get there” Nate smile and she nod her head in support.
“I can’t believe I am going back to that hell hole” she says and flip her head, Nate eyes move to her hair and gulp down nothing. He doesn’t understand what he’s feeling.
“Don’t worry we are always by your side, we won’t allow him to hurt you” Ethan smile, flashing him his perfect white teeth, he has been smiling a lot since he has sex with Beauty, she doesn’t understand what happened to him, to he find hiself getting happier, he doesn’t have the courage to call Beauty since then and Beauty hasn’t called him either, she was waiting for his call, she even drop her business card for him to call, she has been checking her phone for any strange number since then, but she didn’t get any.
“Don’t you think Derrick will get suspicious if I go back to the house without a reason?” Oliver find herself asking and Nate nod his head with a smile.
“He will get suspicious, after all he isn’t a fóol, you just need to act like I send you out of my house, you should tell you I get tired of you and send you out, tell him I am a playboy, I was only after your pûssy and money” Nate said and Oliver nod her head.
“So when did you want me to go back?” Oliver asked, in as much as she doesn’t wanna go back there her ex husband, she doesn’t have a choice than to go back, she has to sacrifice herself now to be happy in the future.
“Today, you need to go back today” Nate replied and she drag herself up from the chair, she walked to her room without saying anything, she came back some minutes later with her language.
“Thanks for your help, I will make sure I get evidence before coming back” Nate move closer to her and pinch her cheek.
“You don’t look like the person that just get dump, you need to look sad, what did you think Ethan?” Meanwhile Ethan have been staring at his phone, contemplating on when to dial Beauty number, he doesn’t have the courage to dial the number.
“Seriously, I don’t understand you anymore dude, just fûcking dial her number, why are you like this?” Nate yelled and Ethan raised his head up surprised, wondering how Nate knew he was about to dial a number.
“You have been staring at that phone for the past three days, just dial that number I am tired of pretending I didn’t know anything, you’re just so naïve maybe you need relationship advice from me” Nate said and Oliver chuckled.
“I don’t need relationship advice from a stripper and don’t think I am in love with her, I just want to thank her for the sex” Ethan blunt out.
“Can you even hear yourself? You’re a big fóol, Oliver stick to the plan, you need to look sad” Nate said.
“Alright, but you need the help of therapist, just try this once, try and open up to my friend, she is very good in her work” Oliver said and Nate frown. What’s the used of trying her when he knew nothing good will come out of it? He had tried so many professional therapist but it didn’t work, how sure his he that this one is gonna work?
“I don’t think I can open up to just anyone” Nate said and Oliver nod her head.
“Just do this for me” Oliver said.
“Alright, I will do it when you get a divorce successfully” a knock came at the door and Oliver drag her bag to the door with a frown, the door throw open and Claire left out a smirk immediately she saw her mood.
“Don’t tell me he is already tired of you?” Claire asked, Oliver ignored her before dragging her luggage outside. Claire smile grow widely before walking inside
“What are you doing here?” Nate asked and Oliver chuckled.
“Relax, we aren’t enemies, we are once best friends, remember don’t treat me like some stranger” The sound of his ringing phone pulls his attention just as he wanna answer her, he reach out for his phone and swipe to the answer button.
“Hey, big bro” A masculine voice sounds through the phone as soon as he slides the answer button.
“Yeah, what’s up?” He replies in a happy tone and the caller chuckled.
“Hey, are you OK?” The masculine voice sounds worried over the phone.
“Yes, I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me, but where the hèll are you?” He replies lazily as walked to the chair, he sat down before resting his head on the chair arm.
“I am fine, bro do you want to hang out later?” The voice asks him.
“Yeah, it has been long I saw my little brother” Nate replied.
“I am not little, I am a big man now” Steve replied and Nate chuckled.
“No matter how big you are, you’re still my little brother, drop your location I will come with Ethan” Nate replied and Ethan move closer to him.
“Are you planning to go kîll me?” Ethan asked.
“Okay, I have a surprise for you bring Claire along with you”
