CHAPTER 51
DARLENEHe was just waiting in the car.With the way that he had stormed out of the house, my mind had gone haywire, scattering into several thoughts and all of them, may I add, were negative.I hadn't seen him in the car. But I saw that the car was still packed in that exact same spot so I was able to tell that he had not gone away yet. So, I raced towards the car, hoping that I would see him there."Alexander…" I whispered, my voice shaking against my will, as I settled in on the driver's seat inside the car."You had no right, Darlene, you tell about the family business. Do you understand how dangerous that could be for everyone?" He said to me.His voice was stiff and cold and his eyes were step ahead, unmoving. He didn't turn left or right as he spoke, I just sat there staring at his side and that hard firm looking, unpleased side view of him."I only told Laura," I said to him. It sounded stupid, yes I knew, and it was one hell of a dumb excuse that could have gotten him possibl

CHAPTER 52
DARLENEI always liked to think that everything happened for the best.In some way, it made me less affected when things were not going the best way. It gave me that low-key sense of understanding that it was alright, and eventually, everything was going to be fine. Growing up, I always had that thought at the back of my mind. But now as I was grown and having to face one issue to the other, it felt exhausting to keep up that hope. It felt useless too. Like a waste of time. One minute, I was thinking that my life was finally going back on the track of stability and the next, life throws in a 360 for me.I decided to sleep over at my parent's house. I assured Alexander that I would be home by myself in the morning. And I hoped he would listen to me and respect that I didn't want more drama from my parents having to see him here a second time. I knew he was still pissed, but by all means, he was trying to be as calm as he could be. I kinda respected that about him."Good morning,"I was

CHAPTER 53
DARLENEIt's not usual to walk into your marital home and see a strange woman whom you had never seen before, sitting there on the couch with legs crossed and nose in the air, like she is the owner of the house.Oh well. Fuck my life. This woman, I had never seen before, relaxed in my own home like she was the queen of the place. Her jet black hair was rolled up in a bum and all the sharp edges of her face were in full view. With that snotty pout and oblivious pretence to my presence, I could clearly tell that she was a proud one.And she was gorgeous. Stunning, I must say. To the very point that it made me uncomfortable. Everything about her was conventionally attractive: from the beat ponytail to the clea skin and pretty eyes, and down to the elegance she seemed to exude even in her bratty confidence. There was an air of regality that surrounded her as she sat there, comfortably, making sure to be ever so relaxed in a home that was not even hers.My major concern; was she in the w

CHAPTER 54
DARLENEAlexander came home that night and my heart was in my mouth the most of the whole time.I wanted to say something to him. So badly. I wanted to talk about everything, but I had no words to start. Ironically, I had never been one to struggle with words, no matter what. I always knew what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Never did I feel what it was like to be 'tongue-tied'.Well, until now.I was in the Master's Bedroom when he walked in. I would have been off to bed by this time, but I could not quite bring myself to sleep the entire night. I just saw this there on the bed and pondered.I thought about Alexander.Right up until he had walked in.He seemed too occupied in his head. Or at least, that was what it looked like. I could not have been a hundred percent sure, but I was certain enough to perhaps bet on it.At one glance, it was clear that he was occupied in his head. He seemed to not even realize that he had gotten here, and I felt that he would have also som

CHAPTER 55
DARLENEThe entire room was dark. It was completely devoid of every single source of light there was and it was as though I was lost in a tunnel of darkness and mayhem."Hello?" I called out into the air, but it only felt like the voice that had responded back to me, was a replica, an echo of my own sound.I felt it. That impending doom and fear. I felt that dread that latched there around my throat and suffocated me as I tried — in vain— to wrap my head around what was going on, where I was, and how I had even gotten here in the first place."Hello?" Echo. An echo back was all that responded back to me and I was taking steps blindly at that point. Each step I took fekt like gravity was doubling with it. I felt heavier, like I was literally having to carry myself around with each step.What was going on?The last I remembered was preparing to go to bed, right after my reconciliation with Alexander. I was already fantasizing about how I was going to just go to bed with a smile spread a

CHAPTER 56
DARLENEA migraine stayed with the the entire time so far this morning.Ironic how last night was a fairy tale dream come true for me and then, when I got to bed and expected to close my eyes in slept and dream all sorts of magical things that would make me put a smile on my face, even in my dreams, it happened the exact opposite.I had a nightmare.A nightmare that ended up giving me a throbbing headache.I stayed an entire thirty minutes or more in the shower, hoping that it would go away. But none yet. The sides of my head throbbed badly, like a vein was on the verge of bursting and exploding right there. I never knew how painful headaches could get, until now.With a sigh, I stepped out of the bathroom and into the Master's bedroom, hoping to get on with the rest of today and maybe, just maybe, get some fine sleep.I was at the Vanity Mirror when warm, strong hands wrapped around me from behind, pulling me back into a hard and firm body that was pleasing to feel. The sweet smell o

CHAPTER 57
DARLENEMy mornings seemed to take in the same daily routine. Nightmares.I stirred in my sleep the entire night afterwards, and finally, my eyes fluttered open. Slowly.They settled on the familiar walls of my room. I groaned softly at the massive headache that hit me all at one, eliciting a soft hiss from my mouth. My hands dropped to my side, running it across the empty space that had my stomach dropping in sadness.Where is he?He promised he was going to be here when I woke up. I pulled the covers over my head and let out a muffled scream, kicking my legs in the air. I managed to sit up after sulking for a while. I turned to the alarm clock by the bedside, checking for the time. It read 9:00am.I could really use a steaming cup of coffee right now. I climbed out of bed and dropped my feet into the bunny slides beside it. I picked up my phone and sauntered into the bathroom to brush my teeth.After brushing, I did a quick wash of my face and combed my hair, throwing it in a mess

CHAPTER 58
DARLENEI ascended the stairs, balancing the tray in my hands properly and took the turn that led to the East wing of the mansion once I got to the corridor. The hallway was eerily quiet. Not like it was always bustling with crowds either. I didn't see myself getting used to coming here. It was creepy in a way.I pushed the door to his study open with my legs and stepped into the dim room. "Just get it done," He said flatly into the phone. His voice was quiet and airy, holding the littlest emotion to it yet, it couldn't sound more appealing to my ears.I stepped forward, my eyes dropping on his tall frame that was slouched against the chair in the process. His posture hinted at the fact that he was tired. It was glaring. The sleeves of his shirts were rolled to his elbows, his upper buttons left undone. He had a file in his left hand, his eyes skimming through it.He hasn't seen me yet."How convenient," I muttered sarcastically and marched forward, setting the tray on his table. He

CHAPTER 59
DarleneMy husband had abandoned me in the king-sized master bedroom of his grand manor, in the wee hours of dawn, just before I woke up.I could tell from the indent on his side of the bed that had lost its shape. The bulky mold of his toned body.”Ugh,” I groaned, stretching like a street cat down to one-and-a-half lives left before I managed to drag myself off the comfy foam of the high, gold-encrusted canopy bed to soil the cold red-marbled tiles of the floor below.The fire in the stone hearth had gone out and I shivered against the cold draft swirling in the ornately-designed rustic-style bedroom.The sound of footsteps slapping down the wooden floored hallway had me snapping my neck to the cedar wood door just before it flew open and a red-faced maid sagged heavily against the gold doorframe, the smell of garlic floating pleasantly into the room.“Miss Lady! Miss Lady ho-” The purple and white frocked woman panted, knocking a hand to her chest so that I had to put my hands up t

CHAPTER 60
ALEXANDER“He’s still in there?” Fredrick shrieked and I resisted the urge to press my brother’s lips shut firmly with the tips of my fingers, instead settling for bonking him on the back of the head and shushing him.”Quiet Fredrick! Goddammit! Are you trynna to announce our stakeout or what?” I hissed, throwing the strawberry blonde-haired man a dirty look as he slouched beside me in the driver’s seat, the full line of his mouth scrunched up angrily at my tone but he stayed quiet.Fredrick’s blue eyes were turned away from me, fixed painstakingly on the swinging glass doors of the elite socialite bar that remained empty, much to his chagrin.It was the second time my father had sent me for pick up on one of his late deliveries, agreeing for Fredrick to accompany me as though it were an afterthought.I’d known it was punishment, everyone damn well knew it was punishment for what I'd told Darlene.I hated this petty, weak-ass beta shit. It was the collector's job, something to munch o
