"I will be right back he informed him".

'Where are you going asked Williams who wants him by his side, seeing how easy the work is with him helping out".

This is the work I always spend 3 hours to do if I can count, I think is an hour we have consumed which is Scandiois doing he thought.

He entered the house and find everywhere quiet.

What's happening?

You're indeed wise for bringing this up without me requesting it, keep it up, am impressed he commented.

Clearing his throat with pleasure he continued his work paying attention to everything Scandious is teaching him.

How do you know all these things, your acting like an expert he suddenly asked, I didn't learn it, that was all Scandious could say.

"Seeing how he's staring at his laptop screen, Scandious noticed something might be wrong.

You made a mistake he said figuring out where he made a skip, help me Mr Williams replied. Gently, he took the mouse and click on a Place, within a few minutes he was done.

All this while, Mr Williams found himself admiring Scandious who focused on his teaching.

His intelligent, hardworking, obedient, and knows what to do at the right time, am happy to have him as my slave.

I wish he was my son, despite the hard labor and hardship he pass through, he always cover it with a smiley face, always happy he reasoned.

He was brought back to reality when he felt tapped by Scandious who has been calling him for a while now, having no option but to tap him which he did to bring him back to reality, sorry I was a bit lost he apologized.

No. I should be the one apologizing for touching you, am sorry I promise it won't repeat itself he pleads going on his knees.

Fine, that should not be enough reason for you to kneel, get up Mr. Williams replied trying to help him up but Scandious shifted back.

Seeing that Scandious is nowhere to be found, Mrs. Williams decided to visit her friend who she believes will have answers to her questions; like why he ran away and the rest.

She have come to believe that he ran away, after searching the house but couldn't find him. Not that he went on an errand she reasoned.

She dressed up and entered her car not without shouting at the gateman to open the gate with insults reminding him how poor he is.

Mrs. Dan is her only friend from secondary school, and leaving in the same area made their friendship more strong.

They are of the same characters which made them understand each other better than any other person.

One can call them sisters on how they behave. They share secrets, though Mrs Dan divorced her husband saying she wants a free life.

The two friends have things in common.

Having her money and connections helped her to live with nothing to worry about.

Make yourself comfortable while I rush upstairs Mrs. Dan informed her.

"See how fresh she looks old because of that man who called himself my " husband," Mrs. Williams said" fuming with anger.

It have been hours she kept driving nonstop.

"Where did you say we are going? I don't understand this place your taking me to". For hours we have been driving Mrs Williams asked who couldn't keep shut seeing how she kept driving like one in a race competition.

I have my family to live for, despite my husband being annoying that shouldn't be enough reason for you to kill me in the name of driving. You can die if you want, but please drop me here I will find my way she seriously added staring outside the car window.

Not getting any response from her, she brought out her phone and start typing.

Chill, we are not dying, have you forgetting am an expert when it comes to driving Mrs. Dan said disdainfully getting a glare from Mrs. Williams, am surprised you said expert "when our lives are at risk" she voiced out angrily.

Life has no duplicate just drop me, and I can get my way back, or did you bring me here to kill me?

Hearing that, she stops the car.

I can see you are not alright Mrs Williams said angrily getting out of the car.

You know I always drive speedily why talk this way? Mrs Dan asked a bit disappointed hearing that from her. My dear take it or leave it, don't think I will sit and watch you kill me in the name of driving Mrs Williams finalised.

Mrs. Williams decided to take over the driver's seat not wishing to experience what happened a few minutes ago, she almost had a heart attack.

I can't die now she said walking to the other side of the car.

Are you planning to stay there?, am leaving you maybe you might fly this time or something more Mrs. Williams informed Mrs Dan who was staring confounded.

Baffled by her behavior, she slowly opened the door and sat down.

You can drive she replied, buttoning her seat belt Mrs Williams advised.

After minutes of driving, they drove inside the garage which contains different brands of flashy cars.

" I like this place Mrs. Williams muttered glancing at the environment which looks beautiful".

"Am leaving you behind Mrs. Dan informed heading inside".

"As they sat down their food was served with a glass of wine to stop the food down.

As they were drinking and discussing their problems Mrs Williams didn't hesitate to explain how discomfort she is, about having her husband around.

His dress made her crush on him, his voice melodious to the ear she thought staring at him with admiration.

" Much appreciated the man said and sat down with his glass of wine.

As they were drinking, his eyes,

Please can you give me her digits? he asked, sure she replied and collect his cell phone. Here she said handing his phone to him.

.

The second line is mine, I dropped it in case you might need my help she replied biting her lips seductively.

Okay, that's thoughtful of you the man replied and kept his phone back in his pocket.

"I will kill you with my bare hands" Scarlett shouted destroying things in her room.

"Ah! am going crazy she said holding her head tightly".

What's the matter Mrs Williams who heard her voice asked entering her room.

Seeing how disorganized her room is, she ran to her hugging her tightly.

My baby, what's going on with you? For days I noticed you haven't been yourself, you kept on making excuses not feeling any sign of pity for us, do you know how worried we are seeing you like this? do you think am a baby who you will just push out easily with your lies, you can talk to your mother she said calmly holding her shoulder.

After much contemplating, she decided to open up to her maybe she might be of help, no harm in trying she thought.

"He tricked me and also threatened me, how can someone be that cruel she asked at the same time crying".

Don't kill yourself over him, he doesn't deserve your precious tears, the one meant for you will come at the right time she consoled and placed Scarlett's hand on her chest.

"Get a hold of yourself he's not the only guy she added".

What's this woman saying? am saying something else she's saying another thing.

Mtchew she hissed at loud.

If you want to mock me you can go ahead but I will not appreciate you standing here and saying that to my face she said to her mummy frantically.

"What did I say wrong? , am just consoling you not mocking you, how can I do that Mrs. Williams said trying to make her intention clear.

My dear precious daughter, I can't mock you but help you if I have the power she assured her.

You know I can do anything for you so wipe those tears she added.

I paid somebody to deal with Scandious but he Spend my not doing his job, how did you expect me to feel? she shouted at her mother who was extremely shocked.

Trying to process it, she find it hard to believe so she asked her to repeat what she said, maybe she didn't hear the wrong thing.

"Are your friends real she questioned not believing his ears".

What is wrong with you she shouted at her.

What are you even talking about? Mind what you say before your father hears it she rebuked her believing it a slip of the tongue.

I know what am saying, if you can help me let's join hands together and deal with him, moreover, I know you also hate him as much as I do Scarlett said to her.

Are you for real? don't you think you need to see our family doctor? she muttered.

Am not sick I know what am saying Scarlett said to her confused mother. Then mind what you say she shouted at her.

Let's do it once and for all, Scarlett advised her surprised mother who left the room furiously.

" What's going on in her mind, I can't even predict through her facial expression Scarlett thought and hissed out loud".

Sometimes how she behave make me what to question if she's she's my mother, she's so ignorant for my liking.

This is a lifetime opportunity and she's behaving like one who heard an abominable thing.

Mrs Williams entered her room and sat down pondering what she heard. So this girl can do something as bad as this? I won't say anything for now nor will I join her.

Let me see what she will d she thought.
