"I went to see my female friend," Elisa replied. Loveth stared at her in dismay.
"I wished today was my last day here. I would have challenged her," Elisa thought.
Loveth brought out her phone and gave it to Elisa,
"I'm still waiting for the phone number."
"I went to see my girlfriend." She insisted.
"Liar." She spoke authoritatively. "The only way you will enter this house is that James has to look at your private part to see if there is a stain of sperm…"
"What?" Elisa shouted before she could finish. Then a text message entered Loveth's phone and both of them heard the message tone. Loveth quickly checked her phone and smiled. She spent a few seconds reading the message.
"My fiance just messaged me. He said you should pack your belongings and leave the house before he comes back from work. According to him, he does not want to meet you here." She wanted to show Elisa the message, when she suddenly stopped and turned her face as she heard the sound of a car driving into the compound. It was Alex, who drove in.
"Go inside your room and pack your things. Remain in your room, I don't want him to see you. I will tell you when to leave."
Loveth quickly turned and went inside. Elisa, without wasting time and did not want Alex to see her, followed Loveth inside and went to her room.
Alex came down from his car and looked at the entrance door. He thought he saw Loveth and Elisa and suddenly, they left the door. When he got to the sitting room, he saw Loveth, sitting down alone. She stood up and put on a fake smile.
"Welcome my darling," she widened her hands but Alex shunned her with his left hand and climbed the stairs without saying a word to her. She sneered when Alex had gone half of the stairs and she sat down.
"Elisa must leave this house today. I guess Alex came to collect something. This is not his usual time of coming home," She thought, and kept hitting his right foot on the ground.
A few minutes later, just as she had expected, Alex came down from the stairs and was carrying a suitcase. As he was about to walk across the sitting room, he stopped and said to Loveth.
"Where is Elisa? I thought I saw her at the door."
His voice shocked Loveth and she stood up at once. She never expected it.
"Yes. She is in her room."
"Call her for me," he said and sat down while waiting for Elisa.
With a dampened facial expression, Loveth stood up and away. On her way after leaving the sitting room, she met James and she accosted him.
"Why didn't you send that message earlier? See what your delay caused." She lowered her voice and they demonstrated with their hands.
Meanwhile, Elisa was in her room gathering her little belongings when she heard a knock on her door.
"My boss wants to see you," it was James' voice.
"What does he want from me?" She thought. "Why does he need my presence after asking me to leave?"
She zipped her bag and held the bag as she was coming out. At her doorpost, she met Loveth and saw James walking away.
"Where are you going with your bag? I told you, I will be the one to inform you when to leave. Go and drop your bag."
"My boss does not need my service, what will I be waiting for?" She replied rudely.
"I said return your bag, after doing what he asked you to do, then you can go wherever you wish."
Elisa turned back and entered her room to drop her bag. Loveth was watching her until she came out. Loveth was determined to delay her.
"Are you going to see my fiancee like this? Do you want to seduce him again? You better change this gown."
Elisa looked at herself and wondered.
"What's wrong with my gown?"
Loveth kept quiet and they looked at each other for a while. Elisa reluctantly entered her room and changed her gown. This time, she put on a very dull oversized gown. As Elisa was coming out the second time, Loveth was about to send her back to her room again when she heard the sound of Alex's car leaving the compound.
"Alex has gone," she thought and she took a deep breath and smiled. She allowed Elisa to go to the sitting room, while she waited at her doorpost and was smiling.
"Once she comes back, she will leave this house," Loveth thought and folded her hands while her right shoulder was against the wall of Elisa's door.
When Elisa got to the sitting room, she discovered that Alex had gone, but left a piece of paper on the table. He wrote,
"Hi Elisa, make a sandwich for my dinner instead of what's on the food time table."
"Sandwich?" She thought. "I thought he asked me to leave. Why did he say I should prepare his dinner?" She looked a little confused.
She took the paper and went back to her room. Loveth was still standing at her door and there was a mockery smile on her cheeks. She was so sure that Elisa and Alex did not communicate or see each other.
"Now you can go inside, carry your bag and leave the house," Loveth said.
"But he said I should prepare his dinner?"
"Dinner? Are you out of your mind? This is noon."
Elisa gave her the sheet of paper to read Alex's words. Loveth dragged the paper and read it. Those writings freezed her brain and she didn't know what to say. Loveth squeezed the paper in anger and threw it to the floor.
"Has he forgiven you so soon?" She asked and angrily walked away to her room, while Elisa shrugged and entered her room.
"I just have a few months here before I will leave," Elisa thought.
As soon as Loveth entered her room, she took her phone and called James.
"Come to my room immediately." She shouted and ended the call, and she placed the phone on her makeup table.
Some minutes later, James knocked on the door.
"Come in." Loveth said and as she turned and saw James, she attacked him with words and was walking towards to him.
"See what you have caused. Today would have been her last day in this house. You ruined everything. I'm disappointed in you. Why didn't you send the message early?"
"But…" James wanted to say something.
"Don't provoke me, you know Alex has affection for her. As long as she is in this house, my relationship with Alex is at stake."
"I'm sorry Ma. I never knew my boss would come home at that time." He showed sincere disappointment from the tone of his voice.
"I didn't even know why he came home at that particular time," she replied with a calm voice. She turned and walked towards the window of her room. Some seconds later, she walked back to James and gently held the collar of his shirt and said,
"I want you to do me a favor." She walked around him and James stood still.
"What favor?"
Loveth came to his front and smiled at him, then she reduced her voice and said,
"I want you to sleep with her and you must video record it. I want to send the video to Alex. Don't worry about how you are going to do it. I will help you with the drugs you will use." She nodded her head and smiled again.
