I frowned, but I didn’t love Maria.
Maybe I like her, but it was because she was going to be my wife and I had to show at lest that amount of feelings. I would do everything for her, not because I love her but because it’s my responsibility – yeah, a sense of dedication.
I was just dedicated to her because I had made a promise to her and had to stay true to my promise ; that’s all, nothing else .
I ignored his pleas and walked towards the entrance even though my heart was in a turmoil.
What’s wrong with me?
“Are you Ok ? ” Judy asked from the side rousing me from my thoughts and I realized I’ve been standing outside for a while now.
I cleared my throat ” Those things he vomited, are they true? “
“Yes, it’s being confirmed. His girlfriend is suffering from cancer and has less than three months to live “
“Mmm” I breathed and looked away when I met Judy’s penetrative gaze. That guy sometimes, his gaze makes me uneasy as if he could see through my thoughts – is it because he has been following me for a while now?
Suddenly, Leo’s pained screams filled my ears. Were my men torturing him? again?
“Let him go ” I blurted out before realizing it.
“What? ” Judy asked surprised.
“And give him some cash to take care of his girlfriend ” I added drawing another ” what?!” from Judy’s l*ps.
“But the others would see this as an avenue to commit their own – “
“Am I stupid? ” I threw at Judy when I understood where he’s heading from. If news circulates that I showed mercy to one of the men that stole from me, the daring ones would try to commit same offence with the hope that such treatment would be meted out on them.
“I don’t need to explain myself to anyone so let them dare ” I said and added ” But chop Leo’s most beloved fi**ger just to serve as an example to the others ” I ordered and climbed into the car.
Judy gave the same order to his subordinates before climbing into the driver’s seat and drove away – thankfully he didn’t p**ss further on the issue.
Bored, I couldn’t help but go through my phone until I decided to check my calendar having realized something.
“It has been a month ” I thought out loud
“What? ” asked Judy who catched my words.
“I haven’t had sex for a month now ” I confessed, my eyes glued on the current date displayed on my phone screen.
A wry smile twisted Judy’s month ” Surprising, considering your sexual appetite is a thing of legend “
I knew it was true, I was once a man who couldn’t last two days without doing it, but now it seems Maria has casted a spell on my member.
Maria’s POV
It was still hard to imagine my boyfriend Andrew was someone who would flash his genitals in public – at lest he wasn’t that lewd the time we were dating.
The case was the hottest trending news on social media and the court have convicted him for indecent exposure.
Though my ex-boyfriend Andrew which is currently the defendant raised lack of intent as a defense but the numerous evidence heaped against him didn’t give him a surviving chance.
Finally the court imposed a fine of one thousand dollars, alongside a three hours community service for a month.
I knew most of his friends who had mocked me after our breakup would try to chat me up so I knowingly didn’t open any of my chats ; they could go to hell for all I care.
But my mouth twitched, wasn’t Niles a little bit extreme this time ? Though at first it was hard to believe but the way evidence kept piling after the other, told me strings were being pulled from behind.
No one else had promised me revenge aside from him and truthfully I had forgotten all about that ; swept it under the carpet.
I shivered and wr*pped myself with my arms, Niles could really bear a grudge.I wouldn’t even dare to cross him, I had learnt my lesson the hard way : someone willing to lock me up for supposed forty million dollars fraud was not to be trifled with – I still haven’t forgotten that.
My gaze was torn from the script I was currently studying when Izzy strolled into the living room and sat on the other end of the sofa I was sitting on.
She gave me a dirty look when I wouldn’t stop staring at her ” What?! ” She spat ” Do you think I came here to play another prank? I came down to eat, haven’t had my breakfast yet, understand? ” She raised her chin, giving me a defiant look .
I tsked and shook my head ” Who said anything? aren’t you the one defending your purpose? “
She glowered at me but I continued nevertheless ” Besides, your reputation precedes you “
Izzy chokes “Y-you! “
I raised my chin ” Why? does it infuriates you? then try being good for once ” I concluded and went back to my script while she snorts and looked away.
I hardly took a breath when the doorbell rang and next thing I knew Annabelle was running into my arms and I carried her off her feet , though that took a lot of groaning and effort – the girl weighed quite a lot even though she did not look it.
“My little pumpkin ” I said pinching her cheek and she let out a gurgle of laughter. What an adorable kid! If only Izzy could be half as adorable as her.
“What am I even talking about? ” I scoffed in my head. If Isabelle could be as cute and adorable as Anabelle then that means the kingdom of Atlantis has reappeared on land.
“How are you doing, Aunty Maria ?” She asked with a concerned face as I put her down .
I smiled ” This aunt of yours is doing well “
Annabelle turns towards Izzy ” Hi Izzy ” She greeted and waved her hand at her, but the young lady in question scrunches up her nose in disgust and looks away.
I massaged my temple, this girl !
But as usual Annabelle didn’t mind and rushed towards her and sat down beside her but Izzy put up a hand saying,
“Three metres away “
But Annabelle didn’t listen at all and instead engulfed her in a tight hug , surprising me as well.
Has Annabelle gotten over her phobia of Izzy?
But Izzy pushed her away ” Touch me again and I’ll make sure that barbie pink manicured fi**gers of yours are chopped off one after the other and used for my birthday cake decoration, how yummy ” She emphasized and l**ked her l*ps .
This time the threat was effective cause Anabelle became as silent as a hound at fault and gave her some space but just as I was about to scold Izzy, my phone vibrated with a message.
I opened it only to discover it was from Cecil and she was asking if it was okay to send her son over to my place, she had an emergency.
I stared at the two girls having a staring contest and smiled, they would definitely keep him company and so I replied her,
“Fine, you can send him over. Your kid is in safe hands, trust me “
I turned around in time to see the once quiet Annabelle asking Isabelle ” Hey Izzy, what do you like the most? “
