LISAIt won't stop, it just won't stop.Even after my hot shower, I can't seem to stop the aching between my thighs.Well, it's not as aching as it was before but it's still silently there, bothering me.Although what bothers me the most is how he kept talking about me being kept busy with something important. I've been very careful, he can't possibly know or suspect something about Silas, right?I stand at the staircase and see him pressing his phone, I slowly walk down the stairs and clear my throat when I'm close to him."I'm ready."He turns around and sweeps his gaze over me. I grip my purse tightly and watch him carefully, afraid he'll corner me again.I'm wearing a green silky dress which reaches my mid thighs, it hangs low on my chest, showing the skin there and is open at the back. I paired it with black string heels and held my hair up in a tight ponytail.I start to think he's going to send me back to change because he's stared for too long. This is the part where papa woul
LISALore hasn't been making things easy for me lately, all I can do is think about the way he touches me, the way he looks at me. It's lust,all lust, and that's a road I don't want to take, because if I do, i'll destroy everything. His life, Mona's life, Silas's life and mine.Today, he and I are supposed to attend a charity fundraising donation event for an orphanage.I take out the gift of jewelry papa gave me for my eighteenth birthday, this is actually the first time I'm wearing it. Putting on expensive things has never really been my thing, with that said, I look down at the huge diamond resting on the band on my finger. My wedding ring, I roll it on my finger from side to side and then lift my head to look at myself in the mirror.Lore asked his chauffeur to take me to the event, since he's going to be running late tonight. That's okay though, because I won't be alone, i have Hillary and Maria to keep me company, had it been months before i met them,i would be extremely nervous
LISA"Thank you for the generous donations Lore." The chairperson for the fundraising event thanks him. "We really need all the help we can get."He must have donated the time I was having a chat with the little girls.I place my hand on my chest and when my fingers collide with the pendant, I look down at it and a decision suddenly comes to mind."Excuse me?"The man and Lore both turn to face me. "Yes my Lady?""Is the donation still open for tonight?"He looks at Lore,who's eyes never waver from my face,then back at me."We just closed a minute ago, is there a problem?""I would like to donate something."Hillary and Darien come to where we are."Sure, I can make it happen since it hasn't been too long, come with me please.""I'll come along," Hillary links her arm with mine and we walk to the glass boxes.I can feel the weight of people's stares the moment I get to the glass.I reach my hand behind my neck and unclasp the necklace, holding it in my hand,i draw out a deep breath a
LISAHillary chats away excitedly, filling Maria who just flew back from Paris in on what happened at the fundraising event."She was so beautiful with the children, they looked at her like she was some fairytale creature they couldn't believe was in front of them, speaking to them."Then suddenly,there's silence, so I turn my head and find them both staring at me as if expecting me to say something."What?" I ask."I just asked if you're okay, Mona. You seem a bit distracted.""I'm okay," I swallow.I've been thinking way too much about what happend the night of the fundraising event. The way Lore spoke about me,the look in his eyes and the way he took care of me after.I thought he was going to want more after the kisses we shared,but as usual, he stopped and took me to bed.ONE MONTH LATERLore has become a very good friend of mine, we are more free around each other and like to have dinner out at his restaurant,which now happens to be my favourite restaurant.I had been sneaking o
LOREI've felt the pain of losing someone before, a loved one. But the pain I felt when Mona confirmed she doesn't love me is something I've never felt before. It's a different type of pain, a pain I'm not sure I'll be able to recover from anytime soon.It was a day ago when I gave her the opportunity to leave me and now I expect the worst, if after all this time, after everything that has happened between us,she still doesn't have any feelings for me, then she'll take the divorce route.I tip back the glass of whiskey and hiss when the liquid burns my throat.I keep playing rewind on that night's events and each time,the cut deepens.This is what Gloria wanted, she said I would regret turning her down, well I don't, but the result is more than what she aimed for. Why did Mona leave the restaurant as though she was mad about seeing another woman touching me? That's what I thought at first, that's what everyone else thought,Until she said it wasn't the reason. Turns out she did it
LISAI look at Lore, who is fast asleep.I turn on my side and press my hands together, laying my head on them as I watch him sleep.He's so handsome, it's such a shame I can't have him for myself,he belongs to Mona, not me.Thinking about what I said last night, I warn myself never to drink again because of how loose my tongue becomes. With all this guilt I'm carrying,I've found myself letting out small bits of truth lately.He didn't pick up on it last night, maybe he thought I was talking about a past experience instead of the trickery we are webbing him in.My drinking was triggered because I saw a picture online of Silas with a woman at a restaurant, kissing. The headline being, "HANDSOME BACHELOR OFF THE MARKET?" after a few sips, everything came crushing down. The lies, the mixed feelings, when did my life become such a mess?I didn't realise I looked away from Lore because when my eyes lift,I find his grey ones watching me. We hold eye contact for long seconds until I finally
LISAThe glass slips from my hand and wine spills on the table then down on my dress.I push back the chair and hold the material away from my skin."Oh my God," Hillary stands and gets a wipe, helping me out."Oh crap! Are you okay?" Sandra stands too but Maria remains seated in place."I'm okay, it's fine Hillary, I can do it." I grab another wipe start cleaning my dress."Is everything alright?" Flynn, the man Hillary likes asks.Lore comes to my side."Just spilt wine by mistake," I say."Well,we should call it a night anyway," Maria stands.My eyes meet hers and in that exact moment, I know that she knows who I'm cheating on Lore with.I'm ushered into the car and my eyes burn with tears.He's been playing me all this time, he's been lying to me and sleeping with that woman.* *The Bidding* *When I see the ambassador and his wife walk into the room, my hand squeezes my purse so tightly. Tonight is the bidding of the items that were donated at the fundraising event for the orpha
LISAWhen the event comes to an end we say bye to our friends and my parents.I'm ushered into the car and my eyes burn with tears.He's been playing me all this time, he's been lying to me and sleeping with that woman.Lore gets in and starts to drive back home. When we get to the house, he excuses himself and goes to talk on the phone.I stand and head to the wine board,then I take out a bottle and open it,i drink the first glass in one go and then pour myself another one.Lore walks in and pauses when he spots me drinking on the sofa. After a few silent beats, he settles down next to me."Hey," she says softly and places two fingers under my chin, turning my head to him.I look at him through blurry eyes."What's wrong?"My lips tremble and I don't know what to say."You can tell me," he lets go of me.I sniffle then take another sip."Hey, slow downh" he takes the glass from my hand then places it down."How about I tell you a story, a story about two girls." He keeps staring at
