Piles of deception
” We need to talk?” Wilson yelled as soon as the doors flung open.
“What are you doing here? Thought you would be with your new girl.” She mocked, as she rolled her eyes in jealousy.
” Don’t start now Mabel. You know how to be annoying.” He pushed her gently away from the door and stepped into the house.
” I did nothing, Wilson. I’m responsible for nothing.”
” Please Mabel. I need you now more than ever.”
” You tell that to Charlotte. I don’t want to get your second option. What am I even saying? I don’t want to be your third option.” She maintained.
” Stop.”
” You should be ashamed of yourself. You’re chasing 2 sisters at a time.” She spat in disgust.
” You know why I’m doing this.”
“No…I don’t. Explain it to me.”
” You know how much I love you Mabel.”
” Really? You love me or you live Charlotte. You’re just using me as an excuse to get aqat from Charlotte.”
“You won’t understand. You are the only one who can satisfy me.”
“So you’re here for the sex?” She faked a look of curiosity as she watched him without blinking.
” Don’t be like that.”
He brought her close and forcefully kissed her but she pushed him away.
“I’m not your play toy. Treat me like your woman.” Mabel protested in a shrill voice.
” I’m sorry Mabel. Please forgive me, I really need you now.” He brought her closer and touched her cheeks. It made her more calm and she smiled at him lovingly.
” You don’t love her right? I know you don’t.” She stared at him in a provocative manner, he watched her before going to take a seat.
Earlier today, after she met him outside the hotel, he had done a thorough thinking and discovered she was the only one who truly cared about him. As for Charlotte, she was a rich, spoiled brat and her father’s wealth made her more rude.
Despite the fact Mable was well to do, she loved him sincerely. He loved her too but wanted to get a wealth for himself, he didn’t want to associate himself with Mabel’s wealth, that would be so horrible as a man.
” You know I don’t love her. We had a deal , Mabel.” He blinked twice as he tried to hold her hands but she pushed him away.
” Was it part of the deal to act like her slave? It should I remind you that you are to make her fall in love with you and have no interest in her.”
” We are still going through that face Mabel, nothing changed. I’m still the same.”
” Really? Even a child can tell you have fallen so deeply with her. Does she satisfy you more than I do?” She asked in a cracked tone , nearly at the verge of crying.
” You don’t need to worry about that, You still own me.”
” I only hope that is true. Come and let’s have dinner together.” She invited, and he followed her to the kitchen where she was already preparing something to eat. The aroma of so many lovely dishes filled the room and his stomach rumbling in his stomach.
” I miss your cooking, Mabel.” He was already salivating.
” You preferred eating from your new girl.”
” Don’t start now,” He grabbed a fork and immediately began thinking into his plate of pasta.
” I will get wine. It’s just I’m in the next room. Don’t eat in a hurry.” She warned.
He nodded as she left but he kept on eating hurriedly. Her phone rang and he was tempted to check who it was but he was too hungry to do that. The call came again and he had to call out to her,
” Mabel. ” He called but she didn’t respond.
” Mabel! He called again but no answer.
He turned her phone over to check who the caller was when he saw the name ” Charlotte”.
He was confused and at the same time surprised. Different thoughts ran through his mind and his curious mind really wanted to answer, luckily the call ended before he could make up his mind whether to take it or not.
Some minutes later, Mabel returned with a red wine and two glasses. She set everything on the table just in front of Wilson as she gestured to him to make a toast.
Wilson who was worried about the strange caller ID didn’t want Mabel to find out,
At least he had to know what they had planned, he thought.
Mabel didn’t notice Wilson was deep In thoughts, she was busy eating her food. It was not until she stopped hearing the clattering of a fork on his plate or the opening of the wine bottle that she lifted her head from the food to look at Wilson. She found him deep in thoughts, his arms around his chest and she wondered what was wrong.
” Wilson!” She called out but he still gazed.
“Wilson! Wilson!” The third call snapped him out of it.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
” What’s wrong, Wilson?”
” What businesses do you have with Charlotte?” He dropped the question

” Mr. Antonio! You brought my mummy.” The little girl screamed as she rushed out to hug Antiono before he stepped into the porch.
“Ariel!” Mia called to her as she took her tiny hands off from Antiono and embraced her.
Emma watched them from inside unnoticed.
” Where is Emma?” Mia asked as she freed Ariel of her tight grip and went Inside to look for her.
She met Emma just as she stepped Inside, despite it was still day. She couldn’t see Emma’s face clearly because it was dim but she could recognize her from her thin stature.
” I was so worried.” Emma said as she hugged her, she tried to stop the tears that were forming but she couldn’t so she let it out.
” Don’t be like this, I’m fine Emma. I was so worried about Ariel.” They freed themselves and Emma immediately wiped the tears from her eyes.
” I know who did this.” She dropped the bomb just on time for Antonio to hear.
