Intoxicated Romance - Episode 5

 

Steven:

i cant believe this! The lady i have been looking for is actually

here. And by the looks of her clothes, she works here. My hangover

lasted for two days and after then, my memories of that night came to

me. I remember everything and i have been searching for this lady ever

since. I need to confirm and now that i have the opportunity, i won't

let her run away from me . I don't trust her. What was her reason for

coming to my room and seducing me when i was drunk?. She's probably a

gold digger who thinks sleeping with the boss would help her up the

social ladder. I just hope that she doesn't claim to be pregnant

because i have no plans of ever getting married after what Jane did to

me. I really loved her(Jane) and she betrayed me with my brother. All

women are the same. I jog behind her and catch up with her when she

meets a dead end.

"nowhere to go now" i say and stalk towards her. I reach where she is

and tower above her. She looks so small before me. We stare at each

other for a while and i feel the chemistry buzzing around us. An

invisible magnet seems to be pulling me towards her and i find myself

leaning in to kiss her

. Her eyes flutter close. I am so close to

kissing her but i stop myself and divert my lips to her ears. I won't

let this gold digger affect me. I am not falling for another 'Jane'.

Jane also worked here before i proposed to her. She was so nice to me

when i first got here and i loved the innocence she portrayed. I never

knew it was all a ploy to get to me. Thank God i found out her true

colours before i married her.

"you are not getting a kobo from me" i say and she open her eyes confused

"what?" she asks me

"sleeping with me wouldn't get you a promotion"

"i don't know what you are talking about" she says and i laugh bitterly.

"drop the innocent act. It won't work on me." i look at her from head

to toe and observe the long length of her pencil skirt.

"these church girl clothes don't fool me. You are a slut!" i say and

she slaps me. Hard!. Stunned, i look directly into her eyes and i

notice that they are shining with unshed tears.

"oh, there's no need to cry, it won't work on me also. It just  makes

you look like a pathetic gold-digger" as soon as i say this, i see her

hands go up to slap me and i hold her hand before it connects with my

face. She struggles to get free but i hold her firmer. Her tears

starts to fall and my heart sinks. What is wrong with me?. Her tears

are probably fake so why am i affected?

"who do you think you are, to insult me like this?" she asks me

"oh,i am your boss but you already know that right?. That's why you

sneaked into my room and seduced me" i notice her eyes bulge when i

say that i am her boss.

"my boss!. Oh no!" she tries to free herself again and i let her go this time.

"stop the pretence. I don't want to ever see you again. As soon as you

are done here, pack all your belongings and leave my hotel"

"It would be my pleasure. Working for a jerk like you is so appalling.

And for your information, i didn't know who you were that day and i

was drunk so stop calling me a gold-digger because, i don't need

anything from you" she says this and walk pass me with her head held

high. Could what she said be true?. Was she really drunk?. Did i go

too far? Well whatever, i don't care. Atleast now, i have gotten rid

of her.

Through-out the whole day, my mind drift to antonia. I asked about

her from one of the staffs and got to know that her name is antonia

and that she just started working here. Was she saying the truth about

not knowing who i am?. No, it cant be. Everybody knows the akhigbes.

We own almost all the hotels in this town and our names were always on

the business part of the papers and news. I was even given most

eligible bachelor in the state last month. I take my mind of antonia

and concentrate on the documents in front of me. I contacted the

pastor yesterday and he agreed to meet with me tomorrow. I hope he

accepts my deal. I have only a week and some days left and my father

just upped the stakes. Who ever can get him that land would be

inheriting his legacy. I bring my best suit out of my closet and iron

it to perfection.

Read " Make You Mine(Redemption 2) " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. I am dressing to win tomorrow.

Cynthia pace round her house in anticipation. She keeps looking at her

phone like she's expecting a call. Her phone rings and she pick it up

immediately.

"you couldn't even do that simple task right" the caller says without

any form of greeting.

"I'm sorry, after she drank the o.j. We lost her. We couldn't find her."

"you know i needed that plan to work, so i could have something to

blackmail her with. So, is your cover blown?"

"no, she's so stupid. It wasn't difficult to deceive her"

"good. Stay close to her"

"alright, i will. Oh, how i miss you baby. When are we going to stop

hiding our relationship?"

"i already told you, we need to finish this plan, then we will get

married in any country of your choice"

"oh i cant wait!. Ok, goodbye and i love y--" she says and the line goes dead.
