EthanI made sure that Ravenna did everything that I asked her to do while still involving my lawyer in the whole process.Still, everything was more or less like the prank a little child would pay. Ravenna had refused to come back to the house for some days after the incident and I also heard from Reina that she had refused to come to work.Shaking my head in front of my work desk at home, I knew that Raveena was up to no good. She had long been forgotten by me but as usual, I only kept her by my side. I only needed Reina. Now everything that was happening was not enough to get Reina close to me.She was still on her guard and didn't want to have anything to do with me. According to her, she only wanted business.Something clicked within me and I remembered a trick that I could play to bring Reina to me.I dialed her number immediately and she answered.“You called, Ethan. Is anything the problem?” she asked me, quite unserious.“No, no. Nothing is the problem. It's just business. I
REINA “He thinks he's smart.” I blurted out, throwing my phone on my couch. I had decided not to go to work today because I needed a break. And, I didn't do that alone.I have the whole team involved in this process a long damn break because they needed it.Only for Ethan to call me over to his house, hiding under the cover that he wanted me to get some design files.What does he take me for? A fool or a desperate woman who would just give in to something.I have never felt disrespected in the coming days that I have felt before. Ethan thinks he can use me as he likes but I am not that desperate.He should get the fuck away from me. My God! I buried my head, covering it with my palm.Where have I gone wrong to deserve all of these? It was a question that needed to be answered.I wish God could come in here and answer me but he didn't. I wish I could hear him speak or comfort me but I don't.Instead, what I keep seeing is Ethan making his stupid moves at me. I almost burst out into
REINAThe look of Ravenna’s face was still something that I could not place.First, I had not gotten over how she got my house address. Now, she's here crying her eyes out, pretending that she was sorry about everything that she has done to me.“I'm sorry, Ravenna, I think we would have to leave this till I get to the office. I would have appreciated it better if you brought this when I was at the office.“I can see it all over your face that you are yet to forgive me. I will keep asking you for your forgiveness until you deem it fit to forgive me,” She said finally and made to leave.I didn't stop her. She took a quick glance at me before she finally left my house and the only thing that I did was to shut the door behind her as she left.“This is crazy,” I said to myself and continued to think about everything that just happened. I needed to find out what she was up to even though it meant that I should go extra lengths.***The next morning at work when everyone had resumed from t
ETHAN“Have you delivered the flowers?” I asked the delivery man over the phone.Yes, I have been making so many arrangements to surprise Reina. I wanted her to see me for who I am.This was a huge step that I decided to take. Maybe, it would work in getting Reina to talk to me at least.“Not yet. I am still trying to package the other gifts you requested. Remember, that everything you asked for is quite expensive and I am trying my best to package them well,” he responded and I nodded.I was running out of patience with everything but I had to wait. Before then, I had instructed the delivery man not to remove the price tag of the items and the flowers so that she would know that I was able to spend a lot of money on her. I knew that the money was not the problem for her. But, a normal person would be able to see the intention of the other through gifts.“Where do you want me to deliver it to? Remember, you didn't give me any address,” he asked me and I let hot air out of my mouth.T
REINAThe fitting of the dresses were going well and I was almost rounding up.I had an important appointment to catch up with and that involved finding out how Ravenna got the address of my house.I was prepared and ready for her. My lawyer and my personal cop officer had been informed.The only thing stopping them from taking immediate action was that I had pleaded with them to stoop low.I needed a lot of evidence to get her. If I find enough evidence that she had been stalking me then she would rot in jail.That I was very sure of. She would rot in jail with everything in me. I would not only make her rot in jail, I would make sure the whole world knows that she is an evil person.Her reputation as a whole would be damaged. I do not care.“How is the investigation going?” I asked my personal cop via messenger.He had been the one trying to get tk the root of this matter and I knew that I owe him a lot.“Slow. But, we will get somewhere. Trust me. But, using normal psychology. This
ETHAN“Did you just call me a puppet?” I asked her and she nodded. I needed Reina back to myself and all this lady was seeing here was that I was a puppet in her hands.Of course, she would not understand what was going on because this was not about her.It was about the feelings I nurtured for Reina and how I wanted her back.“Yes. You are. You show her that you are not capable of anything. If I were her, I wouldn't have a single respect for you,” she concurred and I licked my lower lips.“You have no idea what you are talking about. If you do, you won't be saying all of these,” I responded and Ravenna pushed her way into me and sat on my lap.“What are you trying to do?” I asked with my eyes wide open. Ravenna never gives up, no matter what.That was one of the problems I still had with her. Instead of answering, her lips touched mine and she kissed me so hard not minding that I didn't reciprocate the kiss.“Can't you see?” she asked and I tried to get up from the seat that I was
REINAThe staff were more excited to see what was behind the pretty decorations than myself. At some point, I wanted to just end whatever happened and go back to work. What kind of mistake had I made by allowing the gift packages to be torn open?“Yours love, Ethan?” One of the staff asked with so much shock written all over her face. She pulled out a name tag, waving it in the face of the other staff. I could see the name "Ethan" written on the tag and I was very scared to believe that this was the person who I thought it was.“Ethan? What do you mean Ethan?” I asked, snatching the name tag away from her hand.I stared into the name tag even harder than before and almost tore it into pieces. Unfortunately for me, the name tag was not that easy to get rid of.The staff were as confused as I was but, still they all waited for me to say something to clear the air.“Let's get back to work. Let's forget all these saga and get back to work,” I told them and almost took a few steps away f
ETHANEverything became fucked up when the delivery man made a mistake with the whole delivery process.Up till now, I still wondered why it was hard for someone to obey simple instructions.Take a look at everything. It's all fucked up. The surprise, the package, the money spent on all of these all went down the drain.Out of anger, I pushed Ravenna out of my office. I hated seeing her here. She tried to get the truth out of my mouth about what I discussed on the phone but I ignored her.She was part of my problem. If she was not in the picture. All of these would have been so easy to solve.I buried my head in my palm as I began to think about my whole life. I was nothing but a fucked up being.I sprung up in deep shock from where I laid my head when I saw the door flung open.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the angry Reina standing boldly in front of my door.“Re..Re…,” I stammered. Even her full name could not fall off my lips properly.“Tell me why you did that. Tell me why yo
