43. ROSES, DIAMONDS, AND HOSPITALS
I ran out of the elevator and through the passage.
Anything the guards said to me went unheard. I unlocked the door and ran to the bathroom where I emptied everything I ate that morning. My hands grabbed on the seat as I poured vomit out while sobbing.
The picture kept coming to my mind and I threw up even more with burning tears flowing down my cheeks. I had never felt so violated in my life. Maggots crawled up my skin and at one point I couldn't help stretching.
A hand came at my hair, pulling my head back.
“Get yourself together.”
I shook Damon’s hold away, pushing him but he gripped my head even tighter.
“Clean yourself and get a hold of yoursel

I screamed and jolted out of my seat, my hand swinging to defend myself from the hand that had grabbed my shoulder.

“What do you want?”I sighed. It had been a long day. It felt like years ago when I had been in the hospital.Worse thing, I had no recollection of what happened after I came back to the office.“Chinese.”Storm said nothing back and I just sat beside him. I realized there were a few inches between us and ate those few inches up until I was glued to his side.“I know a place downtown sir, are you okay with me making the reservation? It’s friendly.” Amar suddenly said with my eyes moving to him.Storm nodded his head and Amar didn’t waste time calling for a secluded table.

“Hi Ma’am, there is Gwen from procurement and Sandra from security.” Kimberly’s voice popped from the receiver.I pressed the button, “let them through.”Guilt washed over me.It seemed like years since we had talked. I could recall a few calls from them and texts but the previous day was all vague for me.The door opened, Kimberly walking in, letting them in.“Can I get you all something to drink?” My friends were too shocked to even answer.“No Kimberly, thank you, you can go for lunch.” I said, seeing my friends carrying paper bags from the canteen.“Brandy gi
HIS SECRET WIFE 47. WAY FORWARD?
We were going to an island! A private island all to ourselves! We could hardly work as we planned in our group chat. After work my friends would pick me up and we would go shopping in preparation for our trip and the next morning I had asked and they had come to pick me up again. Of course, a couple of miles from the house. It finally looked like there was light at the end of the tunnel. Not seeing Damon for two days made me feel as if I could get through this. The worry, the stress all took a back seat as I worked and daydreamed about our trip in my free time. My head snapped straight to the time when my phone pinged. Five right on the dot. I grinned, picking my phone. Sandra: Come down, we parked in the street. Brandy: Coming I quickly packed my bag, looking forward to a night in. I would try as hard as I could to not work but maybe catch a movie, cuddling on Storm’s side of the bed. Guilt slid its ugly head as I thought of him. I hadn’t told him about the trip. I woul
HIS SECRET WIFE 48. FINAL STRAW
Shaking hands wrapped around my torso, standing by the door as I had an hour ago. I was late for work, I knew I should leave but I couldn’t leave. My friends had called an hour ago, but I never picked up. The pain made me numb from everything else but it. It burned hard yet I didn’t dare cry. I had cried enough. A knock came at the door, making me jump. “Ma’am, it’s Benjamin, are you okay, you are late for work?” I heard him say something to the guard at the door. “Ma’am, are you okay?” His voice seemed laced with concern that could fool anyone but me. “She is not picking up her phone. Do you have a key? What if something happened? She wasn't feeling well yesterday.” Whether I stood there or not, Benjamin would get in apparently. I stepped forward, swallowing. I opened the door, coming face to face with him. Concern was written all over his face. “Ma’am?” The guard at the door questioned, also concerned. My mouth was dry and I had no words. I just be
HIS SECRET WIFE 49. WORST BETRAYAL
Brandy: We are going to that club tonight. I danced around the room despite the pain in my center. The bottle I had passed out drinking was still in hand, half way through. Music blurred through the speakers, as loud as it could get, nearly bleeding my ears. I stumbled about, bending over which turned to be a bad idea. Vomit rose up to my chest from the pain that shot through. But still, I slipped my feet into the sneakers while I was still naked. Another song played and I screamed. Only the scream brought tears forward. They ran down my face as I screamed even harder then I stopped. I chugged the whisky back and stumbled forward.“I am going to party. Whoooo!”I turned from the buzz of my phone. I stared at the screen. It was ten at night and my friends were already queuing outside the club. Oohh shit. I rushed to take my bag then placed the alcohol on the table before swiping a knife and slipped it in my bag. Then I recalled my nakedness so I ran back to the closet to pull on a
HIS SECRET WIFE 50. IT'S OVER
“Ya first time here?” I corked my head up to the driver, nodding my head slightly which sent sharp pain through my skull. He asked a few more questions but gave up from the lack of a reply. My mouth was burning, my head hammering and body aching badly. I felt weak, queasy, and seriously unwell. The flight had made matters worse, nine hours of absolute hell and I had vomited all through it. “Just a few minutes away.” The man’s voice was hitting the nail in the coffin. I was afraid I would vomit again but I had nothing more in me and my pipes burned from all the gagging. The car slowed down. I pulled my bag, pulling out a few notes to pay the driver. My hands pulled the paper bags before I exited the car. Coming here was a risk. I did not know the state of the house but looking at it, I knew I had made the right choice. “Bye miss.” I nodded my head, the driver turning the car away, the tires crunching through the pebbles on the driveway. I turned, staring at the old stone hous
HIS SECRET WIFE 51. WREAKED
Nine hours later and my eyes were raw. Sleep had failed me and my thoughts haunted me through the night. I got off and caught a cab straight to the office. It was six in the morning, a cold night having drifted away, leaving a light mist and drizzle behind. I got off the cab, turning to see a cafe not far from the building. Most that passed were in gym outfits, running down the street even with the cold and rain. I got myself a coffee, still not able to stomach much. My bags in hand, I walked to the company. Only one of the receptionists sat behind the humongous desk. The floors were being mopped, none paying attention to me as I strutted through the waiting area to the elevator. Music played in the background of the elevator and when it opened on my floor I took it in greedily. Large cubicles stared back at me and as I made my way through them, I could see that some of my team had already made it their home by the pictures and pot plants there. They had desktops, phones, and
