The Game of Revenge

After a good sweem

Its past 10pm and he still isn't back from work. Where could he be? What if he had gotten into some sort of trouble? Or robbed or even worse kidnapped. s**t! Why did she seize his keys! She hoped nothing had happened to him. She couldn't even concerntrate on the TV program she was watching.

She was sitted in the sitting room watching a TV program but she was also indirectly waiting for her husband.

She glanced at the $3,000 gold wall clock 10:30pm. Who knows he might have_ the next thing the television switched off and that got her attention and there he was, the one she has been waiting for indirectly. Her husband is back, how come she didn't notice him come in. Anyways he is back now and also looking fine though he look's a little stressed out. Even as he was looking stressed, he looked really sexy, with his sleeves rolled up, his shirt unbottoned from the top to his chest showing off his chest of his, his tall_

"Laura, I'm talking to you!"

Opps, was he saying anything. She was lost in her thoughts over him, Fantasizing over her sexy husband in her thoughts. She couldn't help it

"Oh sorry? What were you saying?" She asked carefree.

So she wasn't listening to all his saying or she is just acting all ignorant to piss him off.

This woman has put him through hell. He had to download an uber app when he got to the office, and before the uber could come this evening after work, it took him one whole hour!

"We need to talk!" He said to her.

"About? Wait, I hope nothing has happened to my company cause if any_"

"Please shut up." He said.

He really wants to have this conversation with her, but with this his mood and temper now, it isn't going to go too well with the conversation. So he took a deep breath to calm himself, walked over to the three seater couch Laura was sitted and he sat beside her, not too close though.

"Laura?" He said calmly

"Hmm" she answered. What could he possibly want to talk about? He looked really serious.

"Did I do something wrong that I didn't apologise for?" He asked

"Sorry?" Now where is this conversation headed to

"I never cheated on you, never did I lay a finger on you. I don't understand why you're doing all these, I have never known you as someone obessed over wealth. Why are you doing these things? We were a perfect couple. You were the perfect wife i could ever ask for, I loved you! I gave you whatever you asked for"

"Philip, that's enough, please"she stopped him. He was already getting her to feel all guilty and if he continued, she had turned emotional in front of him, which is absolutely wrong.

"No, we need to talk about this. You're not the same sweet and loving Laura I knew. You've totally changed. Perhaps I did something wrong and _"

"Stop Philip. Please" Guilt was begining to eat her up real bad "I've told you this before, you did nothing. I only came in for your money and I have got it. I never loved you"

Those words pierce Phil's heart like an arrow. He looked at her intensely as if trying to get the truth from her eyes but all he could see was nothing. She was totally plain, he could see nothing in her eyes.

Laura couldn't hold up with his stare. She looked anywhere else except him. His eyes were already bloodshot. He looked really angry.

Poor Phil, how could she tell him that he was simply paying for his father's deed. Yes, all this is about his stupid father and what he did to her family. Even the bible said so, the children would pay for the sins of the father.

His stare was making her so uncomfortable, thankfully a distraction came in as his ringing phone but the dude didn't pick up, it rang up the second time and he reluctanly dipped his hand into his pockets and connected it. "Yes?" He stood up and went upstairs.

Hmmmmmmm. Laura released the breaths he didn't know he was holding.

.... .... ..... ..... ....... ...... ....... .......

Phil couldn't even sleep well but manged to sleep that night. The next day, he decided to drown himself with work in his study till his friend Chuks came over, and decided to take him to the bar for a drink or two.

"Whats wrong? You don't look so good" Chuks said to his friend as he drove to the bar.

"Nothing"

"Come on Man, talk to me"

Phil sighed "I was just wondering, how can someone spend three years with a person, you both make love, eat together, Bath together, pray together and yet the person never loved you, never even felt a thing for you. Like how is that possible?"

"Its only possible when it comes to that wife of yours"

"Seriously, it really hurts to know she never loved me and truthfully I just can't believe it."

"Bro, stop thinking about her,"

"Do you know what she did yesterday?" Phil explained the previoys day accident to his friend and Chuks bursted out laughing.

"Its not funny"

"I know but lagos sha. Simething like this has happened to me too, I entered into a cab that took me to the next gate. I felt so stupid when I found out that the place I was heading to, was just the other gate and the wicked cab guy, drove me round the estate"

Phil chuckled "Yours is worse" they both laughed.

"But Guy, Laura has decided to ruin you and I don't think there is anything you can do about that. Forget thus stupid love"

"Chuks you don't know how I feel. You really don't. Have you ever fallen in love? Man if you do, you gonna know how I feel"

"Sorry, Love is not for me. I can't fall for a woman so blindly" Chuks said.

"Oh really, you think I don't know about you and Oge"

Chuks turned to his friend "Know what? Did she tell you?"

"Nope but I figured it out"

"Anyways, she's just a fling. Use and dumb as always" he took the U turn.

"What? Isn't she your girlfriend?"

"What girlfriend? She's a secretary with benefits"

"Geez, man. You need to stop on the way you treat women" Phil said to his friend. He wondered why his friend treated women with so much disregards at times. To Phil, he felt Chuks had this phobia for love or something.

"Yeah yeah but on a serious note i know you are so much in love with Laura but don't worry its gonna take time before you get over her and that's one of the reasons I'm taking you to the bar" Chuks smiled to his friend.

'Do I really want to get over her?" Phil asked himself

..... ..... .......

After spending good quality time with His friend, he returned home and just as he was abouting climbing up the stairs, he saw Sara taking out a bottle of Wine and glass. He immediately stopped her

"Who’s that for?” he asked her

"Its for Madam?"

"Where is she?"

"At the pool"

What better opportunity to put the sedative than now

"Wait here" Phil told Sara and ran upstairs, got the Tramadol and he came down. "Get me a glass of juice" he said to Sara

"Sir, there is no freshly made juice and we are out of fruits"

"Then get the refined one" he said and when Sara went in to get it, he robbed the substance into the empty glass, the wine was still sealed.

Its been over 10mins she asked Sara to get her some wine, what could be keeping her this long.

"I'm sorry Ma'am" Sara said as she walked in with the bottle of wine and glass.

"What kept you this long?"

"Oga said I should get him a glass of juice"

"He's back?"

"Yes Ma" she dropped the tray on the stool

"There is no freshly made Juice in this house"

"He wanted it like that" Sara said "Anything else?"

"No. You can leave" Laura said and Sara left.

Phil never drank refined Juice. Did he have a Guest? She hoped not. Anyways who cares? After a good swim, she deserved some good wine.
