Ethan's POV"Hello, boss," Matthew greeted as he walked into my office.I sat on the seat meant for me. It was a sunny day and a chilled bottle of yoghurt stood at the rim of my table, the ice and chills ran down from the top and I looked up to my man, Matthew.Other men walked in after him and greeted me, I watched them sit without my permission. It was something they have always done, who am I to ask them not to? Besides, I had invited them to stop by for a brief rehearsal.Two weeks is almost elapsing as the investigation on Luke's case will arise. I asked that they visit the office, just so we can have a brief discussion on what and what not to do."Good morning, boys," I said to them after they had sat on the long couch in the office. They waited for a while before I finally joined them. "How are you?" I asked and they nodded. Matthew's hair is shorter, almost at the same level with his scalp, I noticed while I settled down. "We have come as you have ordered," James chipped in
Scarlett's POVI was hurt by Luke's recent behaviour, I don't know if I would call it a new habit, or it was an hidden character long before we got married.We have talked about it several times and he keeps apologizing. The last time, he refused to have a taste of my meal, his favourite treat. I had prepared the dish with the very last cash in my account.I had my bath on the morning of his trip, the next morning after the evening he left the house. I walked miles, searching for the best store to purchase the ingredients, every little savings I had at the time was all spent on making a pot of Luke's favourite dish."I am not hungry," he said that night after slumping on the chair like a log of wood. I walked up to him, inviting him to the diner and he gave the reply, "I am not hungry."I was shocked."I prepared your favourite," I told him severally, wishing my words would sink in his head and he would take a step to the diner to eat. He said his words repeatedly and finally got to h
Luke's POVI laid on the bed in our bedroom when I heard a car honk its horn.Scarlett. I didn't have to be told she had arrived back home from her outing. "Would you want to go with me?" She asked me hours ago before she left the house."No, baby. Go alone," I pleaded with her as I was very tired and recovering from my last experience and stress at the airport.I heard her hop down from my car. She was inside the house the next minute with a gloomy face. She barely greeted me and I looked at her, wondering. What did I do again? I wondered, sitting up on the bed to ask her my questions when I heard her speak_: "I saw Amelia at the boutique," it came as a shock to me, just as she must have been shocked. "What?" I asked, sitting more uprightly on the bed as I looked at Scarlett. She had a serious look on her face and I wanted to doubt her. "Are you serious, baby?" I asked and she nodded, throwing the nylon bag she came back with. She slumped on the bed next to me, panting in her b
Luke's POVI left the house for work after the weekend. It felt like I had gone on a vacation outside the country as I was at the house with Scarlett always over my head, nagging."There is a delivery today, Luke," Boss said over the phone. It was the early hours of the morning when I saw his phone call come into my phone.One thing I am grateful for is the fact that I would be delivering cocaine to a house and not girls to the airport. The thought of having the experience again pricked me and I thought I should not bother myself but wait until it happens."Are you leaving for work today?" Scarlett turned to see me all dressed, I was wearing my favourite black T Shirt, her eyes were red from the sleep the previous night. "Yes," I answered her as I grabbed my purse, as usual and headed to my car. Breakfast was far from my mind that morning as I just wanted to get done with the delivery and return back home to my woman. I drove past the main gate leading into the estate as I exchan
Amelia's POV"Wake up!" I said to Pamela who was still snoring in her room. "It's 9AM, Pam."She jumped up the moment she heard my voice. "How long was I gone?" She cried, looking at the alarm on the bedside table. "It's 9AM," I told her and she got down from the bed, rubbing her face with her hands."Good morning," she greeted, looking up to me from where she sat. "Good morning," I said to her, smiling. "You were stressed last night," obviously, for her to sleep until 9AM in the morning, it almost never happened. "We are going out today, Pam," I announced, sitting on the bed. She turned to look at me, searching my face. "I won't go shopping with you if that's it," she warned and I could not help the situation but laugh."Nah! You've spent all my cash on your wardrobe," I accused. She got up and walked to her bathroom. She came out again, water dripped from her face and I heard the smell of the coconut morning solution we purchased at the mall a few days ago."Where are we going?"
Tessa's POVThe furniture in the house were finally replaced as the family business was booming, greatly. On a daily basis, the records of development increased and most weekends, Carl gave some money to me for upkeep."Easy with that," I said to the whitish man that replaced the dining table and chairs. It was an expensive one and I don't want a hand to touch it, except my hands and the hands that did the job of the replacement, at least, for the moment.Carl walked in on us and nodded his head in admiration, "we should change the couches very soon, honey," I told him and he moped at me, letting out a loud laugh. "One thing at a time, Tessa," he said before leaving the scene. I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a glass made for juice, walked to the refrigerator and filled the glass to the brim with an apple juice made in Spain. I walked back to the dining area and sat on the new chair that was already made, watching the furniture man do his job."Would you like some juice?" I asked
Luke's POVI staggered again, laughing as I walked in through the main door leading into the house, my phone fell to the floor and I bent to pick it up when I fell to the floor."What is wrong with you?" Scarlett stood above me, moping at me."Babyyyy!" I called with my drunken state, "what do you have for me tonight?"………..I prepared for work as usual that morning, leaving the house after a short kiss with Scarlett. I got back home to see Scarlett absent at the house. I remembered she talked about seeing her parents some nights ago and I guessed she was there with them. I noticed my car was not at the lot and I also guessed Scarlett used it in conveying herself to my In-law's house.What do I do while Scarlett is away? I thought to myself. She was not at home to give me hard sex just like I always desired. She would not be home until nighttime and I would be bored."Take a week off," Boss told me after the day's work. The envelope the senator gave to me was safe in one of my boxes a
Luke's POVEver since the last time, all my intentions of talking to Scarlett have been to no avail. I woke up from sleep one morning and tried to touch her, "leave me alone!" She yelled, almost screaming and it startled me. "Baby," I tried to kiss her on her back from where I was and she slapped my hand off her skin, jerking off the bed. She left the room and I decided not to chase after her again, the week passed and I resumed work at the warehouse, as usual and Scarlett still gave me cold feet.I would wake up in the morning, likewise she exchanged cold pleasantries with me and the next thing she would do is make my breakfast and still not allow me to touch her. Why? I wanted to ask her one morning. What is wrong with drinking beer at the bar?"You can get angry all you want, I will be going there often," were the words I wanted to use on her, to tell her how much I love the bar already, and the ladies that stripped and danced at the pool. I wanted to make her jealous and threa
