Love, lies and, secrets 105. Questions
ALICE "May I ask you why you're so curious to know how Alejandro and I met?" she asked, wearing a suspecting look on her face. I could tell that she was uncomfortable with talking about Alejandro with me and I understood why she was because she knew that what she was doing was wrong and she also felt like talking about him with me could trigger my memories. "I don't think I have a very strong reason," I replied with a shrug. "Let's just say that I'm curious because I'm bored and also because anybody could be interested in hearing how two lovers met and since I don't have anything else that I'm doing with my time, I just want to listen to a story about how you met him. So, will you tell me or are you going to ask me to mind my business?" I asked. I desperately wanted her to tell me the truth but I'm not expecting her to be completely honest with me because it would make it obvious that their story wasn't exactly normal but I still wanted to hear her say something because I believe
Love, lies and, secrets 106. Getting to know her
ALEJANDRO "Who are you?" I questioned the lady who showed up in front of me earlier and suddenly fell which prompted me to help her up. I noticed that after I did help her, she didn't stop looking at me and I couldn't help but wonder why she was paying attention to me. I could tell you that there was something that she wanted from me judging by how she didn't stop staring and for some reason, I was curious to know what it is that she wanted and I was also quite attracted to the fact that she kept looking me in the eye.I would be lying if I said that she wasn't attractive because she was and I could feel myself getting attracted to her just by the way she looked at me and how attractive her eyes were. She kept biting her lower lip and smiling and I had a feeling she was trying to pass a message across with her gestures. I didn't think too much of anything when I helped her up but then after I noticed that she was looking at me, I couldn’t help but stare at her as well and I found
Love, lies and, secrets 107. Getting into their heads
ALEJANDRO"Why did you take so long in the restroom babe? I was just about to go check up on you to make sure everything was okay," Anna said as soon as I arrived back at the table. I was grateful that I returned just in time because I can't even imagine what would have happened if she had seen me talking to another woman in the restroom area. I realised that Alice was still at the table but she didn't seem to be concerned by the fact that I came back because she was still busy eating her food and minding her business. I'm satisfied that she's warming up to me now because she used to be scared of me and she used to avoid me but now, she no longer does that and I'm relieved. "It's nothing too serious babe. I was actually on a call with somebody and that is what made me take too long," I answered, hoping she would just end it there and not bother to ask any further questions. "Are you sure you were on the phone call with somebody or were you talking to somebody else?" Alice sudden
Love, lies and, secrets 108. A job well done
ALICE"I wasn't expecting too much from you but you did way beyond my expectations and I must say that I'm very impressed, Freya," I stated honestly. She did not only get him to tell her where she could find him, but she also got him to give her a personal number that she could reach him which was something that I didn't expect because I wanted to believe that Alejandro would be sensible enough to at least give it time. It's been about three days now since they met and in the last three days, Freya has done a lot better than I expected her to do. She has been able to get him to spend time with her and I know this because he didn’t return home last night and as soon as I realised that he wasn't home, immediately had a very strong feeling that he was with Freya. I couldn’t help but smile as I recalled how I’d wake up in the middle of the night looking for my husband not knowing he was in my sister's room having sex. Whenever I remembered that I was living like a fool in my own home,
Love, lies and, secrets 109. Karma
ALICE "Where in the world have you been Alejandro? Where the hell did you go to and why couldn't I reach you? And you better not give me that bullshit about being preoccupied with work cause I called your secretary and she confirmed to me that she had not a clue where you were which means you fucking lied!" Anna yelled furiously at Alejandro. I was currently eavesdropping on their conversation and saying it was fun to listen in on them would be an understatement. It’s been over two weeks since I contacted Freya and she has been doing an amazing job. In fact, she has done everything that I asked her to do perfectly and I was more than impressed by her work rate. Alejandro now spends several nights out of the house and by the time that he comes back home, he would arrive very late at night and go to bed immediately with the excuse of being tired from working. I knew Anna was going to flare up sooner or later because I noticed how she was struggling to control herself and act like s
Love, lies and, secrets 110. Sad
ANNAI slammed the door shut as soon as I entered the room with tears in my eyes. Every word that Alejandro said to me hurt me so much and I couldn't even control my emotions at the moment. How could he even say such things to me? How could he remind me that I was nothing more than his mistress? Just how could he? After everything that we've been through together and after everything that he promised me, he had the audacity to compare me to his wife claiming that I wasn't in a position to judge him for anything when his wife doesn't even bother him as much as I do. I feel so betrayed by the things that he said I couldn't help the anger and the irritation that was slowly building up in me. He has been acting out lately or maybe it’s just me and the mood swings most pregnant women face but then, I believe he should be sensible enough to know how to handle these sorts of situations instead of lashing out on me and making me feel unimportant to him. "Anna, open up the door," Alejan
Love, lies and, secrets 111. Taking charge
ANNA "Alejandro, I know it’s not in my place to say this but, Anna is my younger sister. You are the man in the relationship and if there is any problem between you two, you should just apologize and make things right instead of being angry. I don’t know what's happening but just so you know, Anna has quite a temper. She may not look like she can get upset but best believe that she has a very nasty temper," Alice said. I stared back at Alice with a blank expression on my face cause I didn't know how else to react to her. I felt kind of guilty that she was defending me without realizing that was his wife and I was nothing more than a mistress in his life. Alice has always been selfless and it was something I liked about her.As much as I loved her selflessness, I also envied it because was something I didn’t have in me and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to be as selfless as she was. She has always looked out for me and cared about me and I used to think tha
Love, lies and, secrets 112. The talk
ALICEI was feeling slightly nervous as I sat opposite Alejandro's brother, Anderson. I tried not to show that I was nervous because I didn't want him to think that I was a pushover and also because I don't want him to think that I'm afraid of him.The only reason I'm nervous is because I want our discussion to go very well because it would help my plan a lot if we could agree. "I don't like when people don't keep time and I'm very disappointed that you didn't keep to time, Miss," he remarked as soon as I was seated in front of him and for some reason, I wasn't even surprised by the rude tone that he used to speak to me."I also don't like it when people are very impatient and you seem very impatient right now which is quite disappointing," I retorted calmly, trying not to stoop to his level by being rude even though I was also returning the same energy. He chuckled. "Anyways, already here so how about we just get down to what we came here for since that's all that matters," he sta
