Smith's POV:When Dora, my secretary had told me that Emily was waiting for me, I knew she had come to cause a scene here so I asked Dora to let her in. It was better to cause that scene in a secluded place than let her do it in public. “Let her in.” I told Dora who rushed out to do exactly what she was asked. She was so innocent and also the most hardworking lady I had that worked for me. She was always early to work and would get things prepared and ready for me. I tidied my table quickly, then waited for Emily to usher herself into the office as she would rudely do. Seconds later, she came in as she slammed the door behind her. “Hello again.” She said and offered herself a seat without waiting for me to tell her to do so. “Yes. What can I do for you?” I asked, trying to sound as professional as I could. “I'm sure you've found out that your wife is a thief?” She asked, staring at me. There was a minute silence when she said that. In my mind, I was thinking that she had come ag
Emily’s POV:After I had gone to Smith's office, I headed to Dan's House. Dan lived at Avenue Street, an average home where he had been managing to pay rent. I never liked him, I was only jealous of his relationship with Anna and went ahead to make him cheat on her. Since we were young, Anna got the best treatment from Dad, even with the ill treatment that Mum gave her. She got attention from Dad, more than I did, she was more intelligent than I was, she was smart and was a good child unlike me that was always in trouble. That made everyone fall in love with her and not me. When we were teenagers, she had the best boyfriend, Dan. He was loyal to her and her alone. I heard them talk about marriage all the time and it came to my realization that Emily would soon get married before I did. So I decided to come in between them. I started by making Dan my friend and then I helped him with work when Emily was too busy with chores at work. I wanted to be a model and an actress but Dad, wi
Dan's POV: I was utterly disgusted when Emily left my apartment. She is the reason I am in this situation in the first place and now, she is threatening me. As I sat in my very unkempt apartment, I wondered how life would have been if I hadn't left Anna for her selfish sister, Emily. Anna was my everything. We did everything together and we were happy but Emily made me believe that she was cheating on me and I got very upset about that. For the past 6 months after Anna got heartbroken by me and got married to Smith, I have had peace and it was so evident with the way I lived. My apartment was messed up and my life was already a mess, I couldn't comprehend it but I knew I needed to improve.At first when Emily wanted my friendship, I was doubtful because according to Anna, they treated her badly. At that time, I got my first ever job at a company where I worked as a sales analyst. The pay wasn't great but it was comfortable for a single guy like me.Anna had told me of her plans to
Anna's POV: I waited patiently for Smith to get back from work but it seemed he was running late which was quite unusual. Lately, he had learned to stay over even when it was getting late and others were rushing home to their wife. I paced back and forth in the sitting room hoping to hear the sound of his car outside the garage but yet nothing. When I closed my eyes, I could only imagine him hurt or in pain somewhere. I couldn't help but think that he was purposely acting this way to displease me. Ever since I had told him my plans of selling the shares of the company, he's been acting weird and making me suspicious. What ideas was he getting in his mind, who was feeding Jim lies about me? If there was indeed someone then I should know who that someone is exactly. Then suddenly, I heard his car park outside and then I knew it was him so I waited patiently. I was not going to argue but ask him quietly and patiently where he had been all day long.When he opened the door, he first
Anna's POV :I woke up exactly by 6, so I could prepare some food for Smith before he left for the office. I was weak but that didn't matter since I was doing it for my husband. He loved toast and eggs so I decided to prepare that for Jim this morning. With a tired looking face, I sat up on the bed, yawned and then went into the kitchen. I broke the eggs, after washing them, avoiding the shells from falling into it like Smith would if he was the one making the breakfast. I whisked the eggs, adding a sprinkle of pepper and salt and then poured the mixture into a hot pot of oil on the fire. As the egg fried, I remembered when it was Smith's first time frying eggs. First, let the egg shell into the egg, don't whisk the egg and totally forget to add salt and pepper to the mixture before frying in an almost empty pan. We couldn't eat those eggs because he didn't even fry them well. I laughed as I remembered how we threw the food away. The next thing was to toast the bread, I quickly ad
Sam's POV: I was at the office looking out eagerly as I would normally, waiting for Anna. She had called me yesterday to inform me that she would be making it early today so I had to be ready for her. It was a beautiful day when I woke up with a little bit of tiredness. I woke up trying to shake off the haze of tiredness in my eyes but my eyes felt heavy and ready to go back to sleep anytime soon. I run my hands through my disorganized hair and scratch it.As I stood up, I staggered to the bathroom, my eyes fixed on the mirror. The reflection looking back at me was pale and looked sick but I ignored it. I knew I needed to go to work to see Anna for the signing of the contract we had discussed. When I came out of the bedroom, Sally had already made breakfast for me, bread, eggs and coffee. She had been waiting for me and I knew exactly what she wanted to say. I had hoped she wouldn't bring up the topic but no one was as adamant and stubborn as Sally. “I hope you're not planning t
Anna’s POV:“Anna!” Smith called. The moment I heard this, I came back to life. I had been imagining all along. I was with Smith and we just moved to our new house.I was standing but I wasn’t in the same world with normal humans. This was so surprising.“Oh!” I exclaimed. “I am so sorry about that. I can’t believe I have been imagining all along!”“What do you mean?” Smith requested to know. I didn’t want to keep him in the dark so I told him everything I had imagined. Right from the part where he was accused for Emily’s murder down to every other thing which I imagined.“I thought it’s been ages!” I exclaimed right after I explained everything to him. He looked so shocked but he believed all I said.“That’s so surprising! You were right here all through!” Smith told me carefully. “I will make sure you go for a medical checkup tomorrow. I need you to be mentally and physically fine.”“It hasn’t gotten to that, Smith,” I told him with a smile on my face. “It was all imaginations. Ther
Anna’s POVSmith wasn’t the only one disgusted here. I was also disgusted by the fact that I was married to a man who didn’t want to touch me just because I was on my period. It made no sense at all.“I can’t believe that just came out of your mouth!” I told him firmly. “You never used to be like this. It is not like I am stained with blood all over. How can you claim to be disgusted? What if I was pale and…”“Before you go ahead, I will like you to know that I am aware that you ain’t on your period. Since the last time, I have been calculating it…” Smith said slowly with a smile on his face. I was so flustered on hearing this but I had to confirm.“When is my next period?” I asked him intentionally.“Six days from now…” Smith replied. He was correct about this and I was so shocked. It meant that he truly loved me. For him to have calculated this accurately, he had something good in mind for me.“Wow!” I exclaimed. “I am so surprised to find out that you know this much. But wait, that
