All through the day Diana wasn't able to control her emotions at work. Not only did she feel like a train had run her over, she also wasn't able to concentrate when the departmental meeting was going on, thus disgracing herself in front of the team leader when asked a question.
Here she was in the bathroom, cleaning her face while trying to control herself but before she knew it, she burst out into tears that she couldn't stop.“Diana, what….” Jessica's words were cut short when she swung the door open to walk in on a messed up Diana. She didn't need anyone to tell her what's going on with her friend, before she offered her a hug.“I'm tired, I'm really tired of everything. I don't want to do this anymore.” Diana cried in her embrace, Jessica knew that this was about Kelvin since Diana loved her work so much, and her actions today could only explain that she wasn't in her right senses.She hasn't been able to know what exactly Marianna, Kelvin's mother told her yesterday when she left during break but Jessica knew that whatever it was, was also part of the reason why Dianna was this way.If this was the way the so-called marriage is, Jessica didn't want to get married ever again. Since after witnessing her friend get beaten up daily in the name, that she wanted to change Kelvin.All she knew was that a day would come, when she wouldn't be too lucky to come out alive, but she wouldn't sit down and watch that happen.“Diana, you need to go to the police station, and have him arrested for wife battering. He's going to kill you, No! He’s already killing you, look at you.” Jessica ssid, pulling up her blouse and saw the dark bruises, including the fresh ones that decorated her body. Kelvin isn't human, he deserves to rot in prison all the days of his life.Instead of Diana listening to her friend, to take Jessica's advice she shaked her head in disagreement, and that's the reason why Jessica is finding it hard to do what she wants to do to Kelvin. It's all because Diana is unwilling to face the truth, to see the handwriting on the wall.“He loves me.” Diana said, looking away from Jessica. That's what she believed, no, that's what she chooses to believe.“Diana…” Jessica called, dragging her by her arm to face her.“He apologized.” Diana lied, turning to keep eye contact with her. She can't leave Kelvin, and so does Kelvin.There's no way she could leave him after working so hard to get married to him, afterall marriage isn't a bed of roses, everyone has to choose their own pain.“And you seriously think he's going to stop just because he apologized, Diana, what is wrong with you?” Jessica added, she has gotten really tired of going back and forth with Diana, all she wanted was to conclude things with her and make a decision about her stand with Kelvin.“He's changing, Jessica. I can feel it, no, I know it. It's just that Kelvin is too pressured by his mother, that's why…”“What did she tell you yesterday?” Jessica added, referring to Marianna, Kelvin's mother. If there's anything Jessica is, is the fact that she's a good friend to Diana, irrespective of what Diana was doing trying to sabotage her plans with Kelvin, she didn't judge her or abandon her just like her highschool friends did because she chose to be with Kelvin.Diana looked away, she didn't want to tell Jessica about that part yet until she confirms from Kelvin, that he has no idea what and why his mother did what she did.“Incase you didn't notice, I saw the look on your face when you were back, Diana.”Jessica added, before taking her hands into her own with concern lacing her entire mood. “You are a young lady, who deserves everything good that life has to offer, and seeing you berate yourself by being with that douchebag it hurts me, Diana. There are a whole lot of men out there, better than…”“I won't cheat on Kelvin.” Diana blurted out instantly. No! She won't commit adultery, she owed that to Kelvin as his wife irrespective of him not thinking of her by sleeping around, but it doesn't matter.“But he cheats on you, but that's not what i am trying to say. What i am trying to say is that you will learn to fall in love again, when you divorce him.There's always a second chance, Diana. Don't give up your life for him. He's not worth it, please?” Jessica begged, and that made Dianna really embarrassed.If there's anyone who should have been giving each other advice, it should have been her because Jesus is a social butterfly who doesn't act like she's ready to settle down any time soon. Unlike her who was a die hard fan of romance, Jessica doesn't fail to show off the fact that she's a hoe forever.She would rather remain single than to commit herself in any relationship, and Diana knew that she too was emulating from her marriage with Kelvin, to give up on love.“She introduced a lady to me as Kelvin's second wife, I will talk about it to Kelvin tonight.”“What's there to talk about, Diana? They are literally showing you your place in that family.” Jessica attacked her, which she found offensive. Even if her marriage with Kelvin is dying can't she at least try to save it?“Jessica please, I still want to try to talk to Kelvin.”Diana insisted.“Okay, don't come back crying when he blows one of your eyes out.” Jessica sassed, which made Diana slap her for using such words against her.“How could you?” She growled at her. It's her fault for talking to her about her marital life in the first place, what was she expecting from someone, who sleeps around without trying to put herself in her shoes for once?When Jessica figured out what she did, she came closer to her. “ I'm sorry, Diana, I didn't mean to..”“No matter how much you feel as if your life is all perfect, you had no right to insult me using my misery Jessica, you had no right!” She yelled at her, cleaning her tears before taking her bag and left the bathroom with Jessica calling after her, but she didn't want to hear anything from her anymore.If Kelvin kills her, so be it but what she wouldn't take is Jessica's advice anymore. She's not her friend!Warning:Mature Content!That evening, Diana came back early on time. She prepared dinner(Kelvin's favorite) despite the fact that she's not feeling fine.But the more she remembered Jessica's words at the office early today, she's convinced that truly all that was lacking in her marriage with Kelvin was communication.She could barely remember when last that she had sat to have a decent talk with Kelvin, without his anger coming to ruin the atmosphere. So, she didn't want that to repeat anymore and most importantly, she wanted to prove to not just Jessica but herself that Kelvin still loves her.So, that's why she came back early on time today, and did the necessary chores. Change the treatments on her injuries before setting candles in the middle of the table.The setting was giving a romantic atmosphere, one that anybody in their right senses will figure out that this night is a special night for her.She wore the new thong, and bra set that she bought at the market, specifically ma
When Xavier walked into his villa with Jake following behind to carry in his luggage and stuff, they were surprised to find the model, Anne, sitting in the sitting room.From the look of things, she has made herself quite comfortable while waiting for her boyfriend, Xavier to be back.“I will be upstairs.” Jake said, looking at Xavier who has no smile on his face. If there was anything Xavier loved, it was his privacy but it's his fault for inviting Anne to his villa on one of their dates, because now she's playing wife duties for a nigga that doesn't see her that way.When Jake left them. Anne stood up from the chair she was sitting on for Xavier to look at the clothes, she was wearing to see that it was one of his shirts that hung low below her knees, while her sexy legs were showing off.Anne was a beautiful woman no doubt, that's why she was named the nation's first love. He could still recall his first time meeting her at a social event, she's beautiful and intelligent but not en
The next day, Diana came to work wearing glasses to cover the injuries around her eyes that were still healing. The look she was getting from everyone made her wonder, if they already knew that she's wearing it just to hide how creative her husband was.Maybe Jessica has been getting real cozy with the others, and told them what was going on in her marriage, but Dianna didn't want to think that she might actually do that. Yet, her argument with her yesterday might have been the reason why she ratted out on her.“Diana, you are here.” Editor Lin, the team leader, saw her when she walked into the office before handing her a series of documents. “Photocopy these for me and sort them all out according to the date.”She was instructed before the woman left, since she got this job she hasn't done any real or important task that would make her feel like truly she was an editor, but it was only based on the part that she was an intern.Also, the assistant team leader was harsh on newcomers li
“What do you mean by that?!” Kelvin asked, he was angry at the information he was getting from president Cheng, concerning his relationship with Anne.Apparently, the bitch has gone to his office and had some talk with him, that's what Jake told him before Cheng called, and now he has to fake a relationship with her for five good months. He's going on about it being good for his story, that the publicity he's going to get will be dope.But he was angry at Cheng, because he didn't consider the part of telling him all about this, before going ahead to openly declare that he's in a relationship with Anne. He has woken up to see his schedules for the day, one that included taking Anne on a date, a fake date to back up the said rumor going on about them.“Relax, Xavier. I did everything for your own good.” Cheng said, but Xavier scoffed at his words. He's lucky that they were just speaking on the phone, because he would have had serious issues with him.He's not his father, he's just a man
While Kelvin was buttoning up his shirt, the naked woman who was asleep on the bed of the hotel room started to wake up, and soon he felt her hand wrapped around his waist.“Are you leaving, babe?” Lilian asked, kissing his neck while Kelvin stood up, moving away from her hold as if he's angry at her because from the look on his face, says it all that he isn't happy but she's certain that it has nothing to do with her.Kelvin didn't talk to her, Lilian has been his classmate and friend since highschool. Their parents had been friends since he could remember, and they had often joke around about marrying off the two of them. But everything changed when Kelvin met Diana.Right now, he wasn't angry at Lilian, rather he was angry that he got no text message or call from Diana, how stupid of a wife she was not to check up on him yesterday.He loved his wife, Diand knew that but sometimes his anger gets a hold of him to the extent that he beats her, but it's also Diana's fault. Her inabilit
“You need to stop checking your phone, you are not going to enjoy tonight if you are worried about him.” Jessica complained, while she was picking out a dress for Diana.Undoubtedly, this workshop was exactly what Diana needed, to free her mind from what was going on back at town in her home.On their first day here, they had barely gotten any chance to enjoy themselves and explore the city.The team leader took everything serious, but why won't she? This was about Xavier Kings, everyone was battling to be the lucky person he chooses to be the editor for his story.Everything has been going on fine on Diana's part, at least the injuries that she got from Kelvin's battering has faded, and she can smile again having enjoyed her stay here in the city, until tonight being the last day they were to stay here, did she start receiving threatening messages from Kelvin.“No, i am not worried about him, Jessica. He hasn't called or sent any messages for the past two days until now.” Diana compla
Standing outside the luxurious club, that Jessica has not stopped talking about for ages, Diana wanted to have a change of mind. It was a habit, she tends to get real nervous whenever she goes to places she's unfamiliar with.Jessica was saying something to one of two bulky men, who stood outside the club. They looked extremely intimidating, but when has Jessica ever feared anyone? She didn't understand the kind of courage she had, until she placed her arm on her own before dragging her inside the club.The sweaty bodies of people had Diana recoiling at the thoughts of dancing. She knew that she was unfit for this sort of place but as usual was already clapping her hands, and swinging her hips to the beat of the music.“Let's dance to celebrate your freedom.” Jessica had to yell because of the loud music, but Diana declined.“I think i will pass, I need a drink.” She said in a haste because she knew how fast Jessica can be in changing one's mind. But no, she wouldn't give in this time
Diana woke up tiredly, rubbing her eyes as she tried to sit up only to be held down by a strong force.What the…She opened her eyes fully to connect with an unfamiliar background, this wasn't Jessica's house. When she looked down at her sides when she felt movement, she gasped in shock to see someone lying beside her on the bed.A man?She didn't know who he was or how exactly she got into this situation, hence she also couldn't remember what she done the previous night to spend the night with him.Until bits and bits of her memory started to come, but the headache she had was too much for her to intercept everything.But the only thing she grabbed was the part, where she had kissed this handsome stranger, and they had taken it up to his hotel room and spent the night together.A whole lot of thoughts started going through her mind, and the young woman became worked up! She didn't know what had gone through her but most importantly, she didn't want to wait for the sleeping man at her
