Chapter Four: Blackmail

I got home, and was shocked that my husband was already sited, and waiting for me.

''Damn, sweetheart, are you fine? Why did you left the hospital without telling me?'' I asked, since I was feeling betrayed by his actions.

He just crossed his both legs, and drank a glass of red wine. He wasn't feeling remorseful at all, since it appeared that he intentionally did it probably, for trust reasons.

''Come over here my love'' He called, and handed over to me, his glass cup of red wine.

''Drink to your fill, and relax''.

His words was not actually going well with me. I don't think he knew what I was saying, or passing through in my mind. I wondered within myself.

''Sweetheart, I know what you are passing through. Don't bother yourself thinking much about me. I am in my right senses, and I know all what has happened, even in my absinthial'' He clarified.

While he talked, he looked at me on the face, and kissed me. He held me across my neck, and finally lifted me to the bedroom, where he laid me on the bed.

He looked at me again, and fixed his mouth close to my ear, and started to whisper.

'' I am a powerful billionaire, and I am yet to see any other business dude in America, who could fight or torment me. All I just need, is a loyal woman like you by my side, and that's all''. Soon, we were lost in the realm and beauty of romance, that we suddenly got carried away in the acts of love making.

While we were still on bed, I informed John that Kelvin whom he previously made his general manager, was my ex-husband, who maltreated and rejected me for another woman who was my high-school friend.

He was shocked by my sudden confession.

''What a coincidence. Now I see one of the reasons why you have to demote him from his official position'' He said.

''that's not just that dear.

''You are yet to know more'' I said, as I began to highlight him, on what I observed when I first went to the company. He was very surprise that I was able to make such decisive research within a short space of time.

Five hours later, I woke up and discovered that it was already mid-night. John himself, was fast asleep but as for me, I still got something to do.

I went to the sitting room, took my phone, and dialed a certain number.

''Hello, are my speaking to Mr. Josiah?'' I asked. Such decisive research within a short space of time.

Five hours later, I woke up and discovered that it was already mid-night. John himself, was fast asleep but as for me, I still got something to do.

I went to the sitting room, took my phone, and dialed a certain number.

''Hello, are my speaking to Mr. Josiah?'' I asked.

''Oh! Madam Rebecca, it's that you? I have been expecting your calls. What would make you to call me at this time of the day? 'He asked and wondered.

''I want you to keep an eye on Lugard for me. Watch out for all his activities, whether secret or open. Once I call you and ask about him, you must not fail to give me updates'' I said.

''Log online, and place an order immediately'' He said to me.

I quickly logged in, and placed an order in their website. , Mr. Josiah, is the chief security officer, and founder of a secret security network in America. They are secret, and everything they do, is always secret. In fact, some dangerous dudes in America, uses them to operate and get back at their competitors and also, this security network company, are very selective of the people they work for. Mr. Josiah have previously informed me that Mr. Lugard was among those in the U.S that they can't work for. He didn't tell me further things about him again, till the right time; according to him.

After signing an agreement form online, I paid the required amount of money, and the deal was trucked.

Meanwhile, I was also firing a counter charges against Lugard, accusing him of trying to manipulate to take over my husband's company. Thus, I was ready to meet him in court, and would do everything possible to make sure I win against him.

The next day, we began work as usual. However this time, I was surprised that all the company worker came to work on time, unlike before, when they would come any time they felt. I think by now, they are sitting up, and knows that am not in for any joke.

I was in my office doing some jobs, when Kelvin my ex-husband walked in. He appeared seductively, gentle and kind. I don't know what came over me or him but what I knew is that a strong magnetic connection suddenly aroused us, and me in particular.

''I am very sorry for all I have done to you. However, I don't want to cause negative issues between you and your husband but just know that am still here for you, whenever you seek me'' He said.

He bite and leaked his lip seductively, and rolled his eyes stylistically. As he talked, he gently walked closer to me. I don't know what else to do because my feelings for him, was still strong and alive.

He held me towards my neck side, and kissed me. My heart began to strive more for him but still, I don't want to ever be with him. I know that by now, he has known my weak points because we have both lived together.

He held me again and this time, at my waist. He looked at me again, and re-kissed me. I fell for it, and we continued in the act for about 10 minute, before I finally came to my senses, and pushed him away from me. Gush! What really came over me? What have I done? No, I can't do this to John, my husband.

On the other hand, Kelvin immediately submitted a letter on my desk. He went out and kept laughing like a wicked wizard. I opened the letter he kept on my desk, and discovered that it was his resignation letter.
