Chapter 32

The two of them were busy laughing, from this side I could tell they were having a good time, I could tell they were having me, I was jealous and I hated the fact that I was seated at this table, wanted to go over there and accuse him of cheating, I wanted to create a scene but I knew better could see his eyes follow mine, and he watched them too, I recollected myself with a sigh and now my eyes were on him, I wanted to end this dinner as soon as possible.

I wanted to go home now. He smiled at me with a knowing look to remind me that he was right, the sofa was a pest to me.

Okay fine, is that all you want? I ask him

"Yes, for now, that is all I want he says.

What do you mean by for now that is all you want?

Can't what am I getting out of this I say, this would sour the ties between my husband and Sofia and if he catches in, I would be the enemy.

What do I get for this? I ask him.

You get whatever you want, whenever you want it, you want a certain person to disappear, appear, you want money just say it, I know money is the least of your problems right now.

How about the rumored fact that you are not dale, even if it is true in the slightest, I can get the original child found and you my sweet pumpkin will kill the imposter by yourself.

My eyes lit up as he made mention of this and he smiles in affirmation.

So we have a deal then.

I look at him now boldened by the fact that there were things you would need a demon for, things no one had to know about things only he and you would make deals for.

Okay fine I bring out my phone and typed, the tapping sound ended and I put it back I did my bag and smiled at him, his notification had gone up and he looked at the screen which flashed for a brief moment.

Okay, queenie I have to go now, don't call me I will keep in touch.

He stands up and walks towards the kitchen area where the waiters disappeared before appearing later with food.

He had passed Sofia and Arnold and they had not noticed as I sat there watching them I wondered what the two were talking about, they looked so close like they had known each other all their lives.

My heart sank as I watched them, why then did Christine leave, why would she leave only for someone else to take her place, did Arnold have no shame, it seemed I wasn't beautiful enough or for some reason, I wasn't appealing to him.

Or did he consider me part of his job?

I could not hold it in anymore I stood up and made my way to their table only to be stopped by my driver, he stood in my way and smiled.

"Move, "I said.

He stood firm but this time he wasn't smiling anymore, we have to go now miss forgive me.

Confused I said to him, "Are you crazy, I said you should move out of the way ",

My tone was calm and low but I was boiling within.

My job is to protect you and my boss had given specific orders of what I have to do, he said he had gotten word from miss Monalisa Harrell not to let you engage in verbal confrontations.

He said.

I turned and he followed I cursed under my breath, I cursed Sofia, I cursed Arnold and also Monalisa.

He opened the door of the limo for me and bowed his head.

I entered and sat like a school that just got detention it felt like before, I was wondering why I has to be the one who gets punished for misbehaving when I did not do anything.

I dialed Arnold's number, and it rang for a while before he picked up the phone, as it rang I cursed knowing it was because of that wench he was delaying.

"Hello," he said when he finally picked up.

"Hello, it's getting late, "I said.

I am in a meeting, I'll talk to you when I get home he said and hung up.

This was too much, I called ray Sawyer my lawyer after the call and asked him to end the agreement, I wanted him to add the other part which I had missed earlier, the part where he is not allowed to be with someone else.

Only this will bring me peace only this would ease my worries, ray agrees and then I hang up, as I look out the window and watch the street the simpleness of how easy they were all living, I thought about myself being part of it, living a normal life and my mind went to Christine, I wonder where she was now, who she was with, and I became slightly jealous and horny all at once.

The more I thought about her the more my hunger for her touch increased.

I picked up my cellphone and dialed her number, and as I did, I felt guilt spread all over my body, I put her out and then got too busy and it seemed like I had forgotten about her.

I wanted to press the end button when I heard a faint "hello"

I pressed the phone to my ear and answered hello Christine , how are you?

I am well she said ,I am in Africa, running a charity programme.

How are you , how have you been?

She asked and I grew silent before I said to her ,I am sorry Christine.

Ohh don't be she said, when I come back to New York we are going to have lots of fun.
The rumours will be gone by then she assured me.

I could hear the hitt in her tone as she spoke even as she tried to mask it.

I am sorry Christine I repeated .
