After Brenda woke up the next day, she was immediately consumed by a sense of purpose. She knew what she had to do, and she wasn’t going to let anyone stand in her way. Today was the day she would make her demands heard. She got out of bed with a renewed energy, threw on some clothes, and marched out the door to his office, her heart racing with anticipation. As she made her way down the hallway, she rehearsed her list of demands over and over again in her head. She was determined to make Damien listen this time. He had ignored her too many times before, but not anymore.Today, she was going to make sure that he heard every word she had to say. But as she approached the door, she hesitated. What if he wasn’t there? What if he was in his bedroom? When Brenda arrived at Damien’s office, she was surprised to find it empty. She had been so focused on her mission that she had assumed he would be there waiting for her. She looked around the room, searching for some sign of him, but all she

Brenda’s heart leapt with joy as she scrolled through her phone, replaying the memories of her time spent with Alfred. Her eyes lit up at the sight of a text from him, and she couldn't help but smile as she read through his sweet words.“Can’t wait to see you soon, beautiful,” the text read. Brenda’s heart fluttered, and she couldn’t wait to be in Alfred’s arms once again.She leaned back into the soft cushions and closed her eyes, letting out a contented sigh. But as she was lost in her thoughts, the sound of Damien’s car pulling into the driveway brought her back to reality. Brenda’s mood instantly soured at the thought of being stuck with her husband for the rest of the evening. She got up and made her way to the window, peering out to confirm her suspicions. Sure enough, Damien stumbled out of his car and fell to the ground. She tried to ignore the sound of his stumbling footsteps as he made his way into the house. Brenda sighed and made her way to the door, resigned to helping hi

Brenda stood in the kitchen, gazing out the window as she made a cup of coffee. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of Alfred and how much she missed him. She had tried to take her friend Carla’s advice and focus on Damien, but it seemed like nothing she did could get his attention. As she stirred her coffee, Brenda’s phone began to vibrate on the counter. She glanced at the screen and saw it was Alfred calling again, and she knew that answering would only make things worse.She had made a promise to herself to take Carla’s advice, but it was proving to be harder than she thought. She hesitated for a moment, considering whether or not to answer. As she poured the hot water into her cup, Brenda felt her resolve slipping away. The phone rang and rang, taunting her with its incessant buzzing. She tried to ignore it, but the sound was like a mosquito buzzing in her ear, impossible to ignore but ultimately her curiosity got the better of her and she picked up the call.“Hi Alfred,” she sai

Brenda was enjoying her breakfast, sipping on her coffee while scrolling through her phone when she heard Damien’s bedroom door creak open, then footsteps approaching. She looked up to see Damien emerging from his room with a couple of duffel bags and his men trailing behind him.“Good morning, Brenda,” Damien said with a smile as he made his way to the kitchen. “I’m heading out on a trip. Just thought I’d let you know.”“Make sure everything is ready,” Damien turned to order his men outside. He then handed his briefcase to his driver before walking back to the door where Brenda stood.Brenda was taken aback by Damien’s sudden announcement. It was unlike him to inform her of his plans, especially in such a casual manner. She was surprised that Damien was even telling her about his trip. Normally, he just left the house without any announcement and returned whenever he wished. But now, he was even telling her how long he would be away. But she couldn’t help feeling a sense of relief wa

Brenda’s heart raced as she watched Damien’s eyes narrow in on her. She knew that he had seen through her lies, and she could see the anger in his eyes. It was then that she realized how much trouble she was in, and how much she had put her family in danger. She stood before Damien, her heart pounding with fear. She had lied to him about meeting a stranger in a bar, and now she could see the anger in his eyes. She knew that he would do anything to protect his interest, even if it meant harming her own family.“You’re lying to me, Brenda,” Damien said, his voice low and menacing. “I can see it in your eyes. Who did you meet in that bar?”Brenda took a deep breath, knowing that she had no choice but to tell the truth. “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you everything, just let them go please.”“Well I’m listening then.”“His name is Alfred,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “We’ve been seeing each other ever since.”Damien’s eyes widened with fury, his face twisted in anger, and he deman
