Confrontation

Martina

With Larry, everything is going wonderfully. Since our reconciliation last week, we have been driving on total happiness. He makes me happy every day. I'm lying on his chest this Sunday morning in our bedroom. He strokes my hair and tells me

"You are the best woman in the world Amore!"

"I'm just trying to live up to the wonderful husband that you are. You are just right my heart. I was dreading living with you, but you proved to me that I can trust you." I replied, drawing small circles with my fingers on his bare chest.

"You are so loving, caring. I didn't tell you this, but I really appreciate the effort you make to always cook my own food for me every day. I know it can't be easy for you. , because you've always been used to working hard at work and coming home late. Thank you Amore mia!" He said kissing me.

"I am happy to take care of my husband's belly. You are understanding, you fill me with love and you are very patient, even when I am often obnoxious." I replied, kissing him back.

"The fact that you agreed to forget about this story of revenge showed me that I am important to you and that you really love me." He said with a moved look

"Don't doubt it for a second my heart!" I hastened to answer.
"You are more than important to me and I love you even more than you can imagine." I said giving him small kisses on his face.

"You know what I want and want more than anything right now?" he asked leaning on his elbow and looking more serious.

"What ?" I asked her curiously.

"I would give anything just to see you smile. I dream of this day, more than anything." He looked sincere.

"I can't promise you anything, but I know that in time it will come. Just to give you this pleasure, I also desire it with all my heart." I replied looking distant and sorry. To be frank with you,
"I don't even remember how my smile looks. It's been a very long time since I last smiled. Life's hardships have forced me to forget about smiling and I've lost it. 'habit." I say very sad.

"Oh my love, everything will be alright, I promise." He said hugging me and I snuggled into it like a baby.

We spent the morning whispering sweet and tender words to each other, without forgetting to make love. Then we take our bath together and go out. I prepare breakfast for my sweet husband and we eat together happily. We devote the afternoon to our children with whom we play. I end the evening with Larry as usual.

The next morning, we each go to work on their own, busy after a weekend where we have simply recovered from the fatigue of the previous week. Come to think of it, my life is much better since I no longer embrace these stories of wanting revenge obsessively. I start my day at work with a very positive mood. I work relentlessly, without seeing the time passed. It's the noise coming from in front of my desk that takes me out of my work and I realize that it's already past 3 p.m. The door opens suddenly and I see Paula forcing her way in, while my secretary tries somehow to prevent her.

"You can let her in, I'll handle the situation." I say to my secretary calmly, hands crossed on the table.

Paula walks in adjusting her clothes that have been messed up in the fight with my secretary and the latter closes after him. Once close, she glares at me

"Listen to me, you fool, I don't know what happened that Steve came here, supposedly to apologize, but you better tell me quickly where you're hiding it." she spouts in a threatening tone.

I look at her for a while in silence before answering calmly.

"Here is my company Madame. Your little couple squabbles, I don't care. Next time, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to kick you out."

"You think you've won, huh?! She said in a panic. Let me tell you little sister, it's only a battle and believe me, the war is far from over." She said in a threatening tone and raising her voice.

"That's it! But for now, broom, out of my office!" I retorted waving my hand.

She takes her purse furiously and turns around. I call out to her before she reaches the door and I throw it to her, looking her straight in the eye.

"And one last thing, I hope my concierge has given you notice to vacate my apartment. After that time, know that I will not go out of my way to get you out of there, even by strength. And believe me, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to do so."

"Which concierge, and which apartment are you talking about exactly?" she asks confused.

"Well, is there another apartment you rent apart from the one you're polluting with your prostitution?" I replied with condescension and contempt.

"My activities are none of your business Madame, I'm playing Saints nitouches. If it happens, you do even worse." She retorts cheekily.

"That's up to you. What interests me now is that you vacate this apartment as soon as possible." I ordered the order in a stern tone.

"What do you have to do with the apartment I'm renting? Who are you asking me to vacate it as?" She asks a little more embarrassed.

"As the owner of all the buildings where your apartment is." I replied while taking pleasure in watching the funny face she made when she heard that.

"I don't believe it, by what magic..." She stops then walks towards me.
"I bet you're the one who set me up to rent this apartment, right?" She asks, putting her hands on the table and looking me straight in the eye.

"Oh yes !" I said challenging his gaze.

"And the villager who bought my house?" She replies trying to understand.

"You mean our father's house?!" I hastened to say.
"Never mind, she's mine now."

At these words, Paula is disturbed in a short time and makes superhuman efforts to hide her emotions. She remains speechless for a moment. She hadn't seen this one coming, that's for sure. I resume all amused in front of the head it displays. Know my dear sister, that I can do whatever I want. Another piece of information, it was also me who bought the N'sang house. This time, she no longer hides her astonishment.

"What?" she exclaims surprised.

"As you heard Paula." Then I take a tone that wants to be imposing and I continue.
"Know that if I want to end you, I could do it in a snap of my fingers. So be very careful not to attack me or mine. I have decided to focus on my life and I don't I don't want you around anymore."

"Is that a threat Martina?" She asks, looking me straight in the eye.

"Take it how you want honey, threat, warning...I don't give a fuck. But put your mind to it that I won't take a single second to react like a lioness that pounces on its prey, if I was wronged or if my people were attacked. You have already witnessed my strike force once before. I would be you, I would not venture on this path that you are on. ." I say with the same menacing tone. I keep a pause and I get out from behind my desk to get to her level and I resume while staring straight into her eyes.

"A word of advice, get out of my way next time. With that, I order you to free my society and that I never see your chopsticks there again, which serve as your feet." I growled, suiting the action to the word.

"We're not done my dear little sister! You can be sure you'll hear from me again." She threatens, taking the door.

Decidedly, even as I do everything to avoid it, it is always there to lap. I have to ask the guard not to let her into my business anymore.
