"What happened?" Brian asked seeing the smiles vanish from Melissa's face but she ignored him and continued to talk to Alex on the phone."How did it happen?" Melissa asked and Alex ended the call.Melissa tried calling back but received a quick text which read; Can't speak now, please text. Her fingers started typing away as she kept pacing up and down in the living room with Brian's gaze following her with a frown. An incoming message notification popped up on Melissa's phone before she could finish typing her message. She quickly opened it and read the details of how everything happened. She didn't care much about Foster. he was just her bed warmer since Bryson was bent on holding on to his no-sex-in-a-relationship rule but she also knew how petty Foster can be. If she abandons him, she fears he might reveal secrets to Bryson and that was something she didn't want."What happened? Do you still need Julia?" Brian asked."Nothing important but I will still need Julia," Melissa said pu
"Has he woken up since he was brought in," Melissa asked."Yes. I am sure he slept again not long ago," the doctor said and Foster opened his eyes. His whole head was bandaged leaving his eyes, nose and lips. There were shadows around his eyes and his nose had changed colour indicating injuries. He stared at the doctor and his gaze shifted to Melissa. He stared at her briefly and looked away."Foster," Melissa called out to him but he didn't respond to his name and Melissa felt he was just mad at her."It's me," Melissa said and Foster turned to look at her briefly and looked away again."What is happening to him?" Melissa asked wondering if Foster was just ignoring her."Well, I was hoping since you said you two are best friends, your presence would trigger something," the doctor began and Melissa frowned waiting to hear what the doctor would say next. "It looks like he can't remember anything including his name or who he is," he added."What!" Melissa exclaimed with a worried expre
"Do you want me to talk to my husband about it? You know he will believe me?" Dede said confidently hoping it would scare Alex into confessing. "So that is your motive? To have the boss wrapped around your finger. And you think you have achieved that?" Alex said when he picked a reflection on a mirror-like lining on the wall alerting him Bryson was behind the door. "What?" Dede said surprised by his statement. "I knew it was a matter of time and your true self will reveal itself," Alex said knowing Bryson might be listening. "What are you talking about?" Dede asked staring at Alex with a confused expression. "I am talking about your schemes. The guy from the hotel is your lover right?" Alex sneered. "Enough," came Bryson's voice drawing Dede's attention to the door opening. Bryson strode in and Dede flinched. Images of her and Foster flashed through her memory causing her heart to race and she suddenly felt dizzy. "Get out, Alex," Bryson said coldly and Alex exited the room sat
"We are going with the plan," she said as soon as Brian answered."Sure, come over to my restaurant at noon and let's talk," Brian said and ended the call after Melissa had accepted the invitation to come over. Back at the hospital, Bryson helped Dede lay back down on the bed. He couldn't deny the fact that he loved her but the fact that another man slept with her was something he was fighting hard to accept and move on. It takes a while and a lot of thinking for him to push the scene he had walked into away from his mind and see Dede as a woman with both inward and outward beauty. "I didn't mean to do that to you. Forgive me," Bryson said and Dede stared at him."I am also sorry for being stupid. I shouldn't have trusted that man but I didn't see him as one with such a hidden agenda," Dede said. "I know you can't look at me the same way again. You are a man with a genuine good heart. I don't want you to be something you are not. If my presence, because of that incident is turning
Back at Brian's apartment, Julia was so happy. Finally, something for her to do and earn some income and also keep herself busy. It boring sitting at home and eating and watching TV. In the night Brian would not let her sleep, bending her body in all directions in the name of pleasure and he would make her take some pills in the morning.It has been months since she and Dede arrived in the state and she was nowhere close to achieving her dreams, the reason she left her birth country. Being around for a while, she quickly realised things were not as simple as people made them look on social media. Back in Ghana, it was easy to find something to occupy herself which she called a job except it didn't fetch her enough income like she would have loved. She sometimes finds herself taking money from her male friends just to have enough. She had come to the state with the hope of finding a good job that would pay her in dollars but it had been months and her papers were not even complete let
Dede was extremely tensed and frightened even though she didn't resist Bryson, when he grabbed her roughly and crashed his lips into hers. He kissed her hard and rough pressing her against the bathroom wall. Dede's hands were pressed against his chest but he slowed down, feeling her tremble in his arms. "I am sorry," he whispered against her lips and became more gentle with her. He was mad at her a few seconds ago but seeing her vulnerable she was in his arms and the fact that she didn't resist him made him feel guilty. He felt she allowed him because he was her husband. He felt like a bully immediately. That wasn't how he wanted her to perceive him. He trailed kisses down her neck, down to her chest, going in between the two mountains on her chest and going further down. He placed her leg on his shoulder giving him free access to her. It was not long before he felt her hands on his head and soft moans coming out of her. They spent their time in the bathroom pleasuring each other as
Julia was left alone in the room and she decided to check the phone. She found her job a bit strange. She was working as a waitress back in Ghana. She knew what chefs do. It was just cooking so what advice does the chef need? And if it was about buying food stuff, why can't she handle it but she is required to ask Ms Melissa for what to say. These questions set Julia into thinking but she brushed it off thinking maybe that is how things are done in the States. She was excited about having a job. Something to keep her busy. The next day, as planned, Brian gave Julia some money to put into two separate accounts while he left for work. Julia did as requested, getting herself a taxi to take her to the specific bank location Brian had shown her. She went through the process with some help successfully, deposited the money into the accounts and returned home. "I have deposited the money into the accounts as instructed," Julia informed Brian on the call."Good, now keep the phone by your
At the office, Bryson decided to check up on Dede after returning to his office from a meeting. He didn't Dede's countenance when he was leaving home for work. He dialled the house phone number and waited for the call to connect. It rang severally but no one answered. He tried calling the guards at home and no one answered. He called Alex's extension."Get ready, we are going home," he said and ended the call.He turned off his laptop and grabbed a few documents he intended to work on at home. His instincts told him something was wrong even though he was trying to remain positive. He knew Melissa already knew who Dede was. He had not told Mr Jackson he had found his daughter for fear of what might happen to Dede if she moved in to stay with her father. And also he was in love with her and felt the need to protect her.In the car, Bryson looked restless. He kept dialling the house phone number, hoping his feelings were false. Alex noticed and already knew Melissa had carried out her de
