The Playboy's bride

Esmeralda came back from work feeling tired and weak, she parked her car and made her way to her apartment holding a bag of groceries, she had stopped at the grocery store to get some supplies as she was running out of them, Richard has been eating a lot lately and she just hope he finds a job soon, so he can start contributing to rent and other necessities.

She walked into her apartment and met a shocking site, her boyfriend, Richard was fucking her best friend, Trixie on her couch, "the hell " she yelled dropping the bag of groceries at the door, they both turned and looked at her, they didn't seem to mind as they continue what they were doing, Esmeralda was in shock, " is this seriously happening" she thought, she went into her room, and came out with a pistol in her hand pointing it at them, they both turned to her with scared expression, disengaging.

"Babe, what are you doing, put the gun down" Richard said using his hand as signal for her to put the pistol down.

"Don't you dare call me babe, I trusted you, we have been dating for 5 years and this is how you treat me" Esmeralda yelled at the top of her voice.

" Why are you acting rash, you've always knew Richard only loves me, if you didn't then you must be the biggest fool ever" Trixie said with a disgusting look

Esmeralda couldn't believe her ears, her best friend would say this too her? " Get the fuck out of my apartment" she said lowly. They remain unmoved, Esmeralda fired the pistol in the ceiling causing both of them to cover their ears in fear "I said get the fuck out of here" she yelled again.

They both hurriedly put on their clothes and left her apartment, Esmeralda fell to the ground, sobbing deeply, why, why does this have to happen to her. Didn't she do enough for them. She housed, cloth and fed Richard cause he couldn't find a job and this is what she gets in return and Trixie, she helped Trixie financially all the time cause she was from a poor family, she did everything in her power to make sure they're happy and comfortable and this how they treat her. "Ahhhhhhhhhh" she yelled, sobbing bitterly.

Esmeralda woke up the next morning on the ground, she had cried herself to sleep, she woke up to a throbbing headache, she sluggishly stood up from the ground and lazily walk to her bedroom, slumping on the bed, the memories of last night hit her and she couldn't stop the tear that ran down her face, she turned to the alarm clock, it was 7:30am, she quickly stood up running into the bathroom, she's already late for work, she had a patient who would come to see her by 8 and she hasn't even prepared yet, she quickly took her bath and dressed casually and when to the kitchen to make herself breakfast, when she was done, she made to eat but couldn't, her appetite was gone, she dropped the breakfast and went outside, locking her door, she entered her car and drove to work.

Kian was having one of his sex sessions with his secretary on his over table when his personal assistant came inside, poor Simon had to cover his eyes and turned around after facing the site. "Sir you have a meeting with the CEO of Johan's construction companies" Simon said with his back facing them. Kian stopped what he was doing, letting his secretary go he arranged his pants while she fixed her skirt and blouse, she hurriedly left the office and Kian sat on his chair, Simon turned to face him. "Get the files ready, we would go now" Kian deep voice sounded. "Yes sir, and uhm..." Simon trailed off. " What is it?" Kian asked. "Your parents requested you have dinner with them today" Simon answered bowing slightly. "Hmm okay" Kian nodded.

Simon walked hurriedly behind Kian as the man with long legs strides forward, they walked into a conference room with two men, one is sitting and the other is standing beside him. Kian sat opposite the other man. " Mr. Anthony is late, isn't this meeting important to him?" Jacob Johan's voice sounded immediately Kian sat down."I was busy" Kian answered. " That's alright, let's get down to business, are you willing to be a shareholder to the reconstruction of Johan's hospital?, If yes, here is a contract for you to sign" Jacob said collecting a file form his assistant and passing it Kian, Kian took the file, reading through it."this isn't right, I want 50percent" Kian said dropping the file on the table. "You're not the only shareholder, Mr. Anthony, there are five shareholders and of course I wil have the biggest share, you have to accept this 15percent" Jacob said calmly. "I don't want it then, I don't want to be a shareholder to something I can't have full control over, have a nice day Mr. Jacob" Kian said getting up.

Jacob was already feeling infuriated, what does this man think of himself, Kian left the conference room with Simon trailing behind him."sir Don't you it think it was not a wise decision throwing away that contract? If the hospital is reconstructed, then it mean more Money" Simon reasoned. "Question my actions again and you're fired, build your own company if you want to make decisions" Kian retorted shutting Simon up.

Esmeralda got to work late, the drive from her apartment to the hospital she worked in was a long one, she hurriedly went to the changing room and changed into her uniform of blue trousers and shirt with a long white lab coat. Walking to her office she met the injured lady she was supposed to meet at 8 waiting for her Infront of her office. "I'm so sorry am late, i kept you waiting forgive me" she said immediately she got to the lady. " It's no problem, I haven't be waiting for long" the lady smiled. Esmeralda gesture for her to walk into the office. "How's your hand?, Are you still feeling any pains" she asked immediately she sat on her chair across a table. "Not as much as before, thank you" the lady replied. Esmeralda smiled and wrote some prescriptions on a paper and gave it to the lady." Since you're getting better take this to the pharmacy and tell them to give you this specific medicine, no need to use the old ones anymore" she said and the lady nodded leaving her office.

Immediately the lady left Esmeralda sighed and relaxed her back on the chair." I wished I had an accident and broke my arm than having this feeling in my heart" she muttered.

"You said she would be working overtime, she wouldn't have caught us if you had done your job by Keeping track of her" Trixie yelled at Richard, pacing from one end of her room to the other. " Calm down, I will talk to her after she has calmed down" Richard said sitting on the small bed in the room. "Do you think she would listen, After what she saw?" Trixie yelled again. "You were the one who added fuel to the fire by saying I only love you and she's a fool" Richard retorted. "But it's the truth, I was getting infuriated by her actions, the only reason am talking to her is because she's my money machine, do you think I care about her" Trixie said. " I know we are gaining alot from her that's why I would go and talk to her when she calms down, don't worry about it" Richard coerced, signalling for her to sit on his lap. Trixie smiled softly and sat on his lap and he captured her lips.
