Laura who was occupied with a novel in her room, heard her husbands car drive in. She looked through her window and saw him get down. She checked the wall clock, 11:30pm. 'Quite early for a married man' Note the sacarsm.
..... ...... ...... ...... ...... .......
He woke up with a little headache. He didn't have such a good sleep but he had to go to work. He really missed his king sized bed and room or was it the woman who layed beside him? Oh please. 'I hate her' he convinced himself. He freshened up and went downstairs. He was going to have some breakfast but when he got down and he saw Laura sitted at the dinning table having her morning coffee and reading her magazine, he lost his appetite immediately. Her sight alone gets him boiling in anger. He turned to leave. "Goodmorning" her annoying voice said from behind. He ignored her and took his car keys.
"Aren't you having breakfast? Or you are just afraid of eating on the same table with me?" She said
Afraid? How could he be Afraid. This woman is thinking so highly of herself. Just the word Afraid got him so pissed. He went over to the dinning room, dragged out a chair and sat down. He called out to the chef and ordered for his breakfast to be served.
Laura smiled to herself. Phil never liked to be dared. "It seems you didn't sleep well. Did you see me in your dreams?" She asked in mockery.
He totally ignored her. Seeing her in his dreams is gonna be such a bad nighmare. Sara appeared with a plate of Srambled eggs and Noodles.
"Did she come close to this food?" Phil asked Sara, referring to Laura.
"No sir"
"From now on, make sure she doesn't come close to my food" he said and the chef left for the kitchen.
Laura was all surprised. You can call her a Golddigger and all but not a murderer. She couldn't even hurt a fly. He was such a fool. "What was that about? Do you think I would poison your food?" She asked
"That's what witches do. Kill people, who knows you might have poisoned my food" he said as he chewed.
That actually annoyed her but she ain't letting it show. She flashed him a fake smile "its really nice to know that you actually fear me"
He scoffed "You wish" he drank up his water and stood up. He barely had five forks in. Her presence was suffocating him.
"You should know that I'm just doing you a favour by letting you stay here." She said.
"That favour wouldn't be for long" he walked out. There is no way she was going to send him out of his house not even a piece of paper with his signature on it can.
He got outside and where was that bodyguard of his? Where is Spider? Just one person can answer that question. He stormed back into the house.
"Laura! Where is Spider?"
"Who is Spider? I don't see any webs around" she said.
"Don't play games with me"
"If its that Guard of yours, he has been fired. I can't waste my money paying a Jobless being. As you can see outside, I hired better ones"
"You had no right to fire him. He worked for me not you!"
"But I pay the bills now"
"Laura, behave yourself. I'm warning you" he said and stormed out of the house.
..... ...... ...... ....... ........ .......
Staffs kept whispering as he got into his office premises. He knew that some sort of rumours had gone round.
He entered into his office and his secretary ran behind into his office.
"Goodmorning sir"
"Morning" he replied as he settled for his swivel chair.
"Welcome back sir"
"Urm?"
"The thing is, there is this rumour going round that your wife now runs the conpany but after seeing you here i've confirmed its all a lie" she said smiling sheepishly
"You need to face your work and stop listening to rumours. Please whats my schedule for the day?"
...... ..... ...... ...... ...... ....... ......
What a stressful day. He had lots of work on his desk today cause of the three days he skipped. He looked at his wristwatch, 9:15pm. There was nothing to go home to. If it were then, he had been rushing to go meet his Moi soliel. Not anymore, she's turned from his Moi soliel to a Sorcier( witch). He remembered how stupid he used to be rushing home to meet his wife.
9:15pm, He dare not come home by such time. Laura would be So mad at him. He remembered one occasion when he had an emmergency meeting with some investors from Italy. He was late that night and instead of his super excited wife welcoming him, it wa his housekeeper Musa just as he expected "Welcome Sir"
"Thank you. My wife?" He asked
"Upstairs" Musa said and stretched his hand to get his Boss's briefcase.
"Don't worry" Phil said and walked up to his room. He had opened the room's door to meet his beautiful wife on her very sexy nighty sitting on the king size bed with her back on the headboard, going through her apple tablet. She had flashed him a glance and murmured something like a welcome.
"Darling, I'm so sorry" Phil appologised. He knew she wa super angry plus all the missed calls he had gotten from her due to his silent phone.
"Babe... Babe" he called out but she gave him the silent treatment. That was how she was whenever she gets so angry, she turns quiet and gives the silent treatment but when you get her more angered, its just like a balloon that air keeps coming in and in and in and boom! It bursts. He closed the door behind him and walked towards her, sitting close to her just at the edge of the bed.
"My love, I said I'm sorry. I was wrong, I should have at least texted or called"
She still ignored him, still concerntrating on her tablet. Yeap, he expected that. He lifted her chin up "Baby?"
She pulled her chin off his hand. "Come on Love. Its just one stupid meeting that kept me this late"she still gave him that silent treatment. That tab is getting in between them. He gently took it away from her.
"Hand it back" she said
"Come on love, give me some break here. I'm sorry"
"Sorry? I called you over seven times. The least you could do was pick it up" she said angrily
"I know and I'm sorry for that"
"Just hand me my Tablet. I was busy with it"
"No. Till we sort this out" he said firmly
"Fine. You can have it" she said and then layed fully on the bed.
"Geez.. Don't be like this Babe. Okay, I promise I would never come home late again. And if its urgent, I would make sure I'll call or text"
She ignored him, he came home late and it was very annoying but His lateness had spoilt a surprise she had for him, and that was the main thing annoying her. She closed her eyes pretending to be asleep just to shush him away.
As stubborn as he was, he fixed himself and lay beside her and then circled his arms around her waist. "You see I'm all sweaty. I ain't leaving here till you make up with me"
"You can as well sleep there" she said with her eyes still closed
"Fine, you know what happens when I'm this close to you"
"Its not the first time its happening."
He laughed softly. What a naughty wife he had "Very naughty" he said
She smiled at the sound of his laughter "Alright thats enough, go have your bath. You stink" she pushed him away
"No way, till I get a makeup kiss"
"Come on Phil"
"Just a kiss Moi Soliel"
She blushed. He knew that name had good effects on her
"Fine, come here" she dragged him closer and what she planned to be a peck on his lips turned into a passionate kiss. He_
Trim.... Trimm... His phone got his freaking attention. Chuks.
"Hey"
"Whats up Man?" Chuks asked
"Good. You?"
"Watching the Man u match. Are you on it?"
"I'm not at home. Still in the office"
"Why? Come on man. Go home and get some rest."
"That's what I was about to do"
"Hope she isn't giving you troubles?"
"Dude, you're begining to sound like my Mother. I can take care of myself"
"Just saying, incase she does anything stupid just call me, I won't hesistate to give her the beating of her life. You na, na perfect gentleman u be"
"Chuks, you don't hit women."
"Yeah Yeah but you see.... Goal!!!!!!" He screamed into the phone and Phil had to pull it off his ears. "Guy, Rashford don score"
"Lets talk later" Phil said and disconnected the call. Geez. Chuks, the Grandfather of Manchester United. Anyways time to go home.
....... ....... ........ ....... .......
Its past his work time! Where has he headed to this time. Where is The man who she shared this Mansion with? Its already 10:10pm and he isn't back.
Why is she even worried, he can rot in hell for all she cared.
She tried to concerntrate on the article she was reading but she just couldn't. She stood up again for the uptenth time and walked to her window but he still isn't back. He never stays out this late. Is he alright.... Voom... She turned back to the window, finally he's back. 'Stupid' Atleast he is Okay. Her phone rang just immediately, she went over to the nightstand and picked it up.
"Hello Mum" she said
"How are you?"
"Good. You?"
"Same. How is everything going? Any development?" Her Mum asked
"Not yet Mum. He hasn't sued me or anything"
"We can't keep waiting for him, just get the job done and over with. We have to start our last project. Our last project just keeps roaming round the TV and newspapers happily"
"Alright Mum. I'm on it"
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight Mum" she disconnected. Gosh, how was she going to do this now.
