'What the fuck?' Wendy's mouth hung open.Matteo removed his helmet to reveal his lazy grin.Did he think this was a joke?'Are you out of your mind?' Wendy whispered. 'You didn't just drive into Louis' compound, did you?''Well I'm here in flesh, babe. Can I at least get a seat?' Matteo asked.'You are crazy.' She looked up and saw that the man who had opened the gate was still looking at them. 'Do you want to die? Do you want to get me killed as well? What the hell are you doing here? If Louis sees you in here, we are both dead meat.''Chill, relax, don't stress this. Does he not know we are friends?''Hey, hey.' She pointed at his face. 'We are not friends. Not anymore. You called me a slut. And what the hell are you doing here? What is this drama for?'''I came to apologize.' He tried holding her.She slapped off his hands. 'Do not touch me. Let your mouth do the speaking.''I was out of line. I just was scared for you. Louis is evil. I was concerned that you were falling for him.
Her reaction was quick and sharp.She pushed him away as hard as she could and slapped him across his face.She stared at him. No. They stared at each other for few seconds. Before she stormed off again. He went after her. 'I'm sorry.' He pleaded.She stopped and turned. 'Are you fucking mad?''Look, I couldn't resist. I can't pretend you don't that to me anymore. You drive me crazy and-' 'Are you insane? Matteo, I have a fucking husband.''Fake husband ' He corrected. 'I fucking hate it when you call him your husband, babe ''You are an imbecile!' Wendy shouted. 'How did I not fucking see this side of you?'He dragged her to himself again. 'I am sorry. I just love you.' He tried kissing her again.She snatched herself away from him and stared at him in disbelief. 'Now l am most certain that you have gone crazy. You've gone totally nuts. And I'm not staying here for this nonsense.' 'Please just hear me out. Please.' 'Hear what out? The nonsense you keep spewing?''I am in love wi
'Please can you seat?' She couldn't barely put he thoughts together, not while he stood there watching her with plain suspicion.She was yet to recover from Matteo's drama earlier on. Oh, how she wanted to forget.'I want to stand, Wendy. Can you get to the talking?' He threw more alcohol down his throat. 'Fine.' She shivered. Her fingers were digging into her palm. 'Matteo came.. came to like apo- apologize to me. We had a spat. He kinda- He kinda came around to make amends.' She stammered.'I actually do not understand.' His voice boomed. 'The last time we had a talk about Matteo, I remember I asked that you stop talking to him. And we agreed on that. Or didn't we?''Yes, but-' She started.'Yes but what?' His voice went up a decibel. 'I fucking instructed you to cut ties and of course you have no regard for my instructions.''It's not like that. I did cut ties with him, Louis. 'Well explain because my definition of cutting ties doesn't include getting all cozy on a fucking power
Rhoda had really granted an interview. Or staged an interview. She looked totally unbothered, sitting across the interviewer with a very deep cleavage on display, very red lips and very dark eye makeup. The first thing Louis noticed when he clicked the link was that she was way different from the Rhoda that had come to his' office, threatening a storm. She was the definition of calm and collected.The interviewer said something that Louis didn't catch. But he braced up to hear her speak Her smile was the widest. 'Like you rightly observed, I've been away from the modelling scene for some months now. I focus on acting more than the modelling these days. Not because I've outgrown modelling, though. Acting has always been the 'it' thing for me. And my next project is going to be an interesting one. You just watch this space. A lot of great minds and great talents invested into the project.' She concluded.'Any final words for your fans?' The interviewer asked .'Final words for my f
She opened her mouth to speak but her teeth kept clattering against each other.'This is nonsense. I'm fucking calling my doctor.' He went for his phone. 'Nooo' She whooshed. He ignored her and dialed the number. By the time doctor arrived, she had been tucked under a heated blanket and her shivering had stopped a great deal. The doctor checked her up and concluded that nothing serious had happened to her. 'Nothing serious? Her eyes were white. See the way she's shivering under a blanket. This is a frigging heated blanket. Do you see how hot this place is?' Louis questioned the man. The doctor scratched his head quickly, thinking of the right words to say to get Louis off his neck. 'Mr. Louis Schelling, your wife is fine. She's only experiencing an imbalance that might be due to stress or psychological issues going on with her at the moment. She will be fine. She just needs rest.''Stress? What the hell is stressing you, Wen?''Her job?' The doctor offered.'That does not even m
Louis was already in his office, sipping on his coffee when his phone started to buzz. It was his father.'Louis, I know you are upset right now. I don't want you doing anything. I have this under control. You may be livid right now but you would not act impulsively and ruin my chances of being mayor this time?''You've totally lost me, father. I'm actually trying to figure out what you're chattering on about.''You have not seen the news? Your little wife is being eaten up everywhere. News is everywhere that-' Louis ended the call and hurriedly checked for trending news online. Pictures of his wife were everywhere with demeaning captions. He saw article that compared her past and present. She was in old pictures of her massive cheap clothes that hid her appealing curves so well and recent pictures that she had taken with him. And it was clear from the comments that everyone branded her a gold digger.They had somehow found out about her job as a bookkeeper had somehow gotten pict
Louis had called his father over and over again but the man had probably thrown his phone into the lagoon because he wasn't even picking his phone.Louis could not just watch, wait around and do nothing. He was used to taking care of his own shit and he would have defied his father if not for the fact that his drama with Rhoda had previously stopped the man's chances of winning.He wanted to do some fighting. Teach her he could go lower. Yes, Rhoda had really gone low and unfortunately Wendy had taken the fall for that. Louis had expected anything from Rhoda. If it was the same Rhoda that held press conferences six years ago, lying through her teeth against him, shedding many tears as theatrics, there was absolutely nothing she wouldn't do to bring him down.He had obviously underestimated her again. He did not think she would involve Wendy. It was a fight between both of them. But trust Rhoda to take it over the top.Wendy had cried. Tried packing her bags but he had finally gotten
Wendy had, as usual, carried on with her life like nothing has happened. At first, Louis was disturbed. How did she switch easily from having a full blown mental breakdown to talking about how the cream in your coffee tasted like some chocolate you used to have when you were six.She had done the same thing after he had found her shivering under the hot shower. And it threw Louis off, completely. And they had ended up never talking about the incident again. How would they? The woman treated him like he had been overacting. If he had not held her shaking body in his arms through the night, he would have started to doubt of the incident really happened.But today, Louis decided to play her game. While she sat in bed, chattering about some childhood chocolate, while emptying the jar of cream into her little coffee cup, he sat across the room, with his head buried in some old news paper that had been lying around carelessly.While he sat there, he wondered what her plans were. Make him t
