Chapter 60

Frederick POV


Kharis and Lois, I asked, turning to look at the room where Kharis stayed…


"Is Lois okay? Kharis is okay, she doesn't seem abnormal to me.


"How about you just come online and see for yourself", ma Cleopatra said.


"As I speak to you, I'm trying to log in to all my social media accounts but Network is terrible over here", he said. I tried lifting my phone and walking around so I could find a network.


I was devastated, scared, and confused. What exactly will Kharis and Lois be capable of committing? I thought about many things. Did they both lie about their identity? Did Kharis truly go through torture and pain in her parent's house? Was Lois honestly defrauded? Did both of them come into my life to defraud or ruin me? Was my reputation at stake? Little did I know that it was my heart at stake!!!


"Are you still there? Frederick! Frederick!!", Ma Cleopatra called out.


"I'm right here ma", I answered in a low voice. I cleared my throat. It seemed like my voice was suddenly disappearing and there was a lump in my throat.


"I'll call you later. Do not be too hard on her yet", ma Cleopatra said to me.


"Hard on her"?I asked, but she had already ended the call.


I walked back into the house and saw Kharis laying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. I leaned on the wall and stared at her for a while.

"Oh God", I muttered silently.


Kharis didn't seem like someone that could hurt a fly at all. Was she capable of hurting me?


I moved to a chair, sat on it, tapped my foot gently on the ground, and tried logging in again.


"Finally", I screamed.

I checked for the trending news. What I saw made my heart pound faster and the lump in my throat felt bigger. I turned to look at Kharis and then back at my phone.


'Maid and personal driver to billionaire, Frederick Hudson, shares beautiful moments.


'see steamy sex video of Kharis Carter and Lois Miguel'.


Those were the headlines I saw on Twitter and Instagram. I could see photos of Kharis and Lois having lunch together, smiling, and feeding each other.

"When did all of this happen", I asked no one but myself.


I was a hundred percent confused. I saw a video of a man and woman, having passionate sex in Kharis's bedroom. The woman looked exactly like Kharis physically. And the man? Of course, I looked like Lois. He had Lois's height, body size, hair, and body complexion.


The woman had Kharis hair, body complexion, and size. It was all evident. I felt betrayed!!

When did Kharis and Lois have sex? In my house?


I rubbed my head in frustration. I was angry. I felt manipulated by the woman I love and by the man I trust. It was hard to believe that I canceled my wedding all because of her. I didn't know if I should have been mad at myself, Kharis or Lois.


I felt a teardrop from my eye. I stood up immediately and said, "Nah, men do not cry". I paced around the room, thinking about what to do.


It was hard to breathe. I began remembering all the old memories and happy days. I called myself a fool for falling into her spell within four days. I'm sure it was all part of her plan: to have me fall for her, spend on her and make her rich. I didn't even suspect for a second that she was a gold digger. Kharis was so pretentious. I walked out of the room to talk to Kiel.


"Hey man", I said, my voice breaking.


"I told you, man. I told you. That girl ain't good for you but you insisted that you had fallen in love", he said.


I hated that he reminded me of how foolish I was.

You have no idea", I said and then paused, trying to pull myself together before speaking again.


“You have no idea how hard it is to see the face of someone that you once loved every day become a stranger. Man, I was willing to do anything for her".


"Frederick, you do not need all these bitches in your life. I'll say that again. You do not need all these bitches in your life".


I was silent for a while. I couldn't even stand seeing Kharis in front of me. I wanted her out of my house and out of my life.


"So, what are you going to do now"? he asked.


"I have a wedding in three days. I'm sure I still have the time to plan for it", I answered. I was confident about my decision to marry Ivy. This was the second time I was getting heartbroken. I concluded that love was not for me.


"Now, that's my man. Go marry someone who wouldn't stress your heart this much", he said excitedly.


For a fact, Ivy wasn't going to stress my heart too much. I wasn't in love with her and that was enough.


"Hey man, I have to go. Tasha is here", Kiel said.


"Tasha or Maybelle", I said, wondering who he was trying to get serious and committed to.


"Later man", he said and dropped the call.


I walked to Kharis and tapped her. She woke up and looked into my eyes.

"Are you okay baby", she asked.


"I need you to go back home, get your things, and leave my mansion", I said without any feeling of love.


"I do not understand. Why am I leaving? Or, are you leaving with me"?, She asked me.


"I need you to stop feigning ignorance, Kharis. I already know about your secret affair with Lois", I said and walked to the window.


"Affair? Is this some joke or something"?, She answered, standing up from the bed and walking to where I stood.


"How are you still pretending and lying even when you have been caught?", I asked, throwing my hands in the air.

"You are so unbelievable", I muttered.


She looked at me as if she was confused and unaware of what I was talking about. I was tired of all the silence and act she was putting up as she stood close to me. I brought out my phone and showed her a picture of herself and Lois having lunch together.


"Is that me feeding Lois", she asked.


I was perplexed. "I need you out of my house, woman".


"Frederick, I don't understand any of this. I have never gone out to have lunch with Lois. We are not having an affair. Please you have to believe, she said, almost crying and pacing around the room.


I was getting more and more infuriated with all the drama. I logged into my Twitter account and showed her the sex tape.

She covered her mouth with her hands and pointed to my phone crying. "That's not me", she whispered.


"This is your room Kharis. This woman looks like you. Who must have gotten into your room to have sex? Are you even thinking", I screamed?


She blinked her eyes and stared at me. I saw the tears form in the corner of her eyes and pour down. I wasn't moved by her tears. I hated to be used and she used me.


"How can you even think"... She paused, wiping the tears out of her eyes.


“How can you even think and believe that I am the woman in the photo and video"?

She waited a moment and closed her eyes as if she was in extreme pain.

"I love and respect you, I'll never hurt you", she said.


I took one last stare at her, put my hands in my pocket, and muttered "be gone" as I walked out of the room.
