Fighting back

Martin ran and pulled her away hugging her tightly, " Darling, I know I messed up but please. Don't do it… I know I am a mess right now… I love you too much to lose you. I don't care about the governorship and presidency anymore. All I want is to stay by your side. Please don't leave me" Martin confessed his deepest desires.

It was just instinct. He knew not many people who knew him would understand him but he loved her too much to lose her.

Ali was stupefied.

She had never met a crazy woman like Evelyn in her life. She thought she was the crazy one but the woman before her was a lunatic

Eve come back to her mind. The confession shook her... her heart fluttered for a moment, "let go of me" she pushed him away and sat down on the sofa at the side table. She looked at the woman on the bed and smiled evilly. She could see she was terrified. That was not the exact effect she wanted on her. She wanted her to be horrified with just the mention of her name or even Martins

Martin had already closed the window in that period and wore his shirt and jacket back on. He stood at the side and allowed his wife to do everything she wanted to do.

"What about this. Wife kills mistress in anger after she caught them in a hotel room."

This time the two people in the room were horrified just looking at her. Martin was the most shocked. He had never seen this side of his wife. Deep inside, he was scared. He felt chilled. He knew he was cold blooded and done lots of dirty works to get where he is. He went to the extent of torturing and ordering killings of those that are a threat to him. But seeing his wife he felt chilled all over.

" Why are you looking at me? You called me here… or… are you regretting it?" Eve laughed looking at the horrified face of the women in bed.

Her face went pale while the hands on the sheet were shaking, "what about I send you out of here naked. That would be what you deserved. Don't you think so?" she went further tormenting the woman. She felt no remorse whatsoever. She also wanted to see what her husband would do. If he step forward to defend her, it was the end of them

She remembered her husband saying something about coming from a powerful family. She was curious to know which family would hold reigns on her husband

"She is from the Guliye family. The hold a major say in the country's economy" Martin sat down and watched as his wife torment them. He was guilty but deep inside he was horrified to what extend his wife could go to when provoke. It's not that he wanted to provoke her but the thought actually crossed his mind.

"Do you think your family will find you if I send you to an asylum as a mentally disturbed person. You know I have been playing with this thought for a while." Laughing hysterically Evelyn stood from the sofa and walked to the woman in bed. This time she stopped her fake sobs and looked like she saw a ghost. She move away in each step Evelyn took.

Martin tried to keep his composure but he failed at some point. His hand tightened as he tried to hide his trembling hand. So far, she had said nothing about the kind f punishment she could give to him. She was mainly dealing with Ali but in real sense she was passing a message to him. She was tolerant to the people around her. But was a devil when provoked

"You know, I have lived in the political world for so many years and know a thing or two on how to make people disappear without a trace. Including a disappearing governor." She turned all of a sudden looking at her husband

Martin felt Goosebumps all over. That look he will never forget in his life.

He felt like life was being pulled out of his body by a mere look. Was this the sweet woman I knew for years?

It was more of a discovery and confusion. She wasn't a pushover. He made a mental note not to cross her again. There was a high likelihood she may carry out the threats.

What was on Evelyn mind was completely different. She wanted to take control of her life once again. There was no way she will continue to stay with a selfish, inconsiderate, heartless and a scumbag man. She had to protect herself.

She didn't look back at the trembling woman in the sheets and just looked at her husband on the face, " if you know what good for you, stay away from Martin. Next time it wont be talks. I doubt if your family will be able to find even a piece of your hair" she walked past martin and walked out

"Honey wait. We need to talk" Martin followed her out and was surprised to find Mercy and the hotel manager in the living. It seem they heard a part of what was happening. He felt embarrassed. He regretted sending his bodyguards away.

"Manager, is this how you run your hotel, how could you let outsiders in here?" Martin forgot for a moment the situation he was in. this time Evelyn stopped and looked at him and smirked, "Outsiders, she is with me. I would not have come all the way to your room had I not seen you coming here. Second, your lover invited me and since I had company, it would've been good to have someone witness what kind of a person their governor is. I think this is the result you had expected at some point when you started this affair."

Martin didn't have anything to say but he had scores to settle with the manager later, " Let talk at home. I have to explain what really happened. I don't want you to misunderstand. Please"

Evelyn didn't even turn to look at him and smiled evilly, " Don't worry, we will talk when I get home. Tonight, I just want to get laid by a young strong man. You are not the only one who can do what you did. I think I should also try and see if its worth my marriage. Don't wait up for me."

If there was someone who was shocked the most was the manager. What kind of like did the governor and the first lady live

Martin was stupefied with the utterances. He didn't expect that. He was so shocked to respond as Evelyn was already walking out, " Don't do anything stupid, lets go and talk over this" he tried to reach her but she already walked out of the room and her bodyguards stopped him from following her.

Mercy could not close her mouth for a long time. Today she once again saw the other side of her friend. She heard everything she said to the people in the room. She felt the chills just thinking of it, " way to go mu friend. I don't think that woman will ever step in your marriage ever again. I think she mind pee just thinking of you."

Her mind was thinking of all those scenarios and how the culprits would behave. That's when she remember another thing that shocked her. Pressing the ground floor button on the elevator, she turned to her friend yet again, "you are getting an escort tonight? Are you really going to do that?"

"What do you think?" she just smiled knowingly looking ahead without giving her friend a glance
