Chapter 62

Frederick POV


I left Kharis in the suite and went after Lois. I wanted to hurt him and make him pay for what he did to me. He betrayed me and took my help and trust for granted. I really couldn't believe that Lois slept with my woman in my own house!!! I felt insulted. I opened the door of my lykan hypersport and got into it. I sat staring at nothing exactly through the windscreen. My hands were on the steering wheel and soon, I placed my forehead on the wheel.


I lifted my head and turned to observe my environment before inserting the key and igniting the car. I drove slowly and gently, listening to the sound of sad music echo through my ears. I told myself severally that Kharis wasn't worth it. I forced myself to believe it.


Ma Cleopatra kept calling me and all I did was ignore her. Wasn't she the one that brought the gold digger into my life?

When I saw her call come in again, I answered it.

"How did you even meet Kharis", I asked her immediately without waiting for her to say anything.


"In a grocery store", she answered naively.


"In a grocery store and you didn't even think it fit to make investigations about her before inviting her into my house and employing her as my maid", I said angrily.


"Take it easy Frederick", she said in an authoritative voice.


"Ohhh, maybe, you are part of the plan. You all planned to get into my life, gain my trust, and slowly steal from me", I said.


"Are you drunk? Ah, my God. I've been a major part of your life since you were very much little. I nurtured you more than Carrie, your mother, ever did. I loved you and took you as my son! How dare you accuse me of trying to steal from you", she said.


I felt terrible about how I spoke to her. I made a fist and punched the steering wheel so hard three times. I broke down in tears.

"I'm sorry Ma Cleopatra. I love Kharis. I love her so much it hurts", I said, breaking down into tiny pieces already.


"Are you sure she's the one in the video and photo", she asked.


"Were you not the one that called me to check out the video and photo because it had Kharis in it?", I asked.

"Why are you so uncertain about it right now", I said, after a moment of silence.


I just do not believe that Kharis would do that sort of thing", she said.

I was quiet for a while. Yes, she didn't seem like the kind of woman to do such things. Immediately, my mind went back to when we were just about to leave Ghana. The way she related with Carson, especially when he held her waist was suspicious. She smiled at him and that just made me realize she was capable of having an affair with Lois.


"Just be very sure about it before you pass your judgment. Kharis may be innocent, my instinct tells me so", she said and dropped the call.


I almost got crushed by a truck just because I was trying to look at the photos again while driving.


I turned into the right lane and drove into the mansion. I saw Lois sitting by the door of his quarters. Immediately he saw me, he stood up and looked at me as though he was anticipating something. I turned off the ignition, put my phone inside my pocket, and got out of the car.


I walked up to him and landed a hard punch on his face, without remorse. He squeezed his face as expected and turned to look at me. I noticed he was not surprised or moved by what has just happened. I waited for a second, chuckled, and raised my index finger to point at him.


"So you knew"? I asked, walking briskly around the place and laughing mildly. I was angry that he wasn't sorry for what he had done. I moved quickly to him, this time around, holding his shirt tightly.


"Why, man"? Why my woman"?, I asked him.


"The news is all over social media. My reputation is damned! My love is gone! And that's because of your selfishness, stupidity, and lack of contentment", I said and let go of his shirt.


"Get out of my house", I said, without looking at his face.


"Mr. Frederick, I'll never disrespect you like this, not with your woman", he said, and I kept wondering how it was possible for him and Kharis to still feel like they were innocent when they were not.


"Have you ever watched the video? Or seen the photos? You fucked my girlfriend in her bedroom! My fucking mansion. You did it to spite me. I've always known you had eyes on Kharis", I said and walked into the house.



Just as I got to the door, I looked at Lois and asked him to leave my house and drop off all the car keys I have in my possession.

"And if any of my cars get stolen, I'll waste no time in calling the police on you. I over trusted you and I regret it", I said and entered the house, banging and shutting the door behind him.


As I entered the house, Ivy stood up from her seat and came close to hug me.

"I missed you. You were gone for three days and four nights, she said, in a soft tone.


"Thank you", I said and walked away from her. I went to my study room to drink and cry out about my pain.

I put on my speaker and listened to soulful music echo through it.


'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm looking right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Coming back to you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

'Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

You are the love of my life'


Kharis was true, the love of my life and I had no idea why. The vacancy that sat in my heart for a while now belonged to her. But, she was gone. Out of anger, I punched the table so hard till I had bruises on my knuckles.


I screamed "why", and it prompted Ivy to run into the study room.

"Are you okay, Frederick", she asked, rubbing my face and trying to check if I was okay.


"Why are you still here?'' I asked with a frown on my face.


"Our wedding is in two days, baby. I want to spend time with you, plan this event perfectly, together, me and you, she said.


She stared into my eyes, leaned forward, and planted a kiss on my lips. She stopped immediately and when I didn't say anything or try to stop her, she continued. She kissed me passionately and I couldn't stop thinking about Kharis.


She reached her hands into my dick...
