FIVE MONTHS LATER
“ She did what?” I screamed angrily into the phone. I can't believe that stupid girl. After everything she had done to me she still went ahead and became the CEO of my company. The company my parents had worked so hard to build. She is so dead right now!!
“ What is it, Deborah? I heard your scream right from the room. Are you okay?” I heard Xavier ask me as I turned to see him standing in front of the bedroom door looking at me while he rubs at his eyes, obviously just waking up since he was shirtless.
“ Nothing” I lied to him and stood up from the chair to walk out to the balcony to receive my call in peace. I don't want him starting on why I should stop this revenge. Something he has been doing ever since Nina and Michael got married.
“ Tell me, what else?” I shouted at the man across the phone. I had hired him to gather Intel on both Michael and Nina, it was the little he could do for my family seeing that we had helped him to that point that he is right now. I was glad that he's doing a good job on that.
“ There is another news but it isn't confirmed yet since Mrs Thompson had stopped coming to the office” I heard his voice across the phone, he was whispering which shows that he was in the office.
“ What's that? And stop with the whispering” I shouted at him. I don't care if he got caught or not, I just wanted to know about the news that had stopped Nina from going to the office.
“ I heard that she's pregnant,” He told me in a whisper, causing my hands to still on the rim as I cursed profanity into the air.
“ She's pregnant? Woah! That's great. Finally!!” I smile excitedly at myself. This was the kind of news I have been waiting for and to think that I didn't have to wait for so long. My plans are already coming into place.
“ Thank you for your help. I need you to keep a close watch on her and get back to me” I told him before turning to stare into the room to see that Xavier was now in the kitchen gulping down a glass of water.
I made to end the call but his frantic voice caused me to pause“ What is it, again?” I asked him, rolling my eyes. I hope this wasn't another ploy of his to date me. Gosh! I hate men right now. Try being friendly with them and boom they think you are in love and trying to get their attention. Anyway, it's a good thing that I know how to use their proclaimed love to my advantage.
“ I just heard right now that Mrs Thompson will be at the Thompson's Mall at two p.m today” He called into the phone. I smiled at that new piece of information. I could also use that to my advantage
My eyes caught the clock on the wall to see that it was almost two, if I could hurry I will be able to catch her in time but there was a problem__ Securities
The Thompson's Mall was known for its safety protection of both goods and lives. It's no wonder Michael is allowing Nina to go there. I'm sure she will be shopping for her baby's needs. “ Who's going with her?” I asked him already tiptoeing down the room, being extra careful at the kitchen area before running into my room and locking the door.
“ Her friend, Mrs Martins,” He replied as I nodded. Those two fuck off friends, I can handle them in as much as it isn't Michael. This was good to go!
“ Thank you” I called into the phone, already shrugging out of my dress to pick up a black body con gown that was lying on the bed.
“ Wait?” He screamed from the other side of the phone as soon as he felt that I was about to end the call.
“ What is it?” I asked him already grunting, I don't know why I choose to put up with his stupid behaviour.
“ Well,__ because he gives you the best and juiciest information” My subconscious counter back explaining just what I needed to hear.
“ I___ when___ am I seeing you again” He stuttered across the phone trying to get the words out of his mouth. I rolled my eyes at him and bent to pick out my disguise of black sunshade, black scarf and funny looking red wig.
“ Meet me at the club, same time on Friday night,” I told him, I could feel his excitement across the phone before I hung up the call. I needed to pay my dues to him seeing that he had done a good job for me. It is only right that I reward him for a job well done.
I stepped out of the room after putting on my disguise, I'm only left with one problem now__ how to leave the house without Xavier being aware?
As soon as I stepped into the sitting room, he was the first thing I saw standing at his favourite place in the window with his back turned to me. I wanted to use that opportunity to sneak out but his voice stopped me on my track...
“ Where are you going, Deborah?” He asked me, I glared at his enormous back in anger. I wish he didn't know about all of my plans, I could have dropped him so easily. Maybe I should kill him off__ that wouldn't be possible seeing that he was an assassin himself. I never knew any assassin with a soft heart just as he is.
“Well?” He prompted again, turning to glare at me seeing that I still haven't responded to his question.
“ To the mall” I called to him, already running out of the room without waiting for his reply. I flagged down the first taxi I saw and relaxed as he took me to the mall.
