Dear fiancé: I am beautiful again

Tough spot

Chapter Fifteen - Tough Spot

Gabriella's POV

I watched a creepy smile settle on George's face. I clenched my fist tight and chuckled nervously as I waited anxiously for George's response. I hoped in my heart that he would not refuse the idea. I needed to get something out of him tonight. It was either now or never.

"You really want that? "I thought you were married?" George choked out a hysteric laughter. I smiled. I was going to tell him it was a contract marriage but not now. Instead, I replied "It is a long story, but trust me, my marriage is not out of love," I said.

George nodded his head slowly. He looked like he was about to say something, but I beat him to it. "I understand if you and Tami are in love with each other. "I think I will just try to stay in my lane then." I said, my words were only a way to taunt him. To get him to say yes, and it worked because George rushed towards me and grabbed me by the wrist.

"Now that you have cleared the air. I was going to ask you to spend the night at my place. "Would you love to do that?" He blurted out. I fought back the urge to spit in his face. I felt irritated and disgusted at him. George was a chronic liar and a cheat. Even after years, he still had not changed. His impulsive attitude drove my desire for revenge.

"At your place? "What about your wife?" I asked with a raised brow. George chuckled and waved it off. "Trust me, Tami is not going to be around. She mentioned something about seeing her girls. It is just me and you alone tonight. "What do you think?" George had not let go of my wrist. I nodded my head slowly and smiled mischievously. "Sure, I would love that," I said.

I pointed to my car. "Let us take my car, I will drive since you are a bit drunk," I said. George nodded his head in agreement. We stepped into the car, I started the car engine and zoomed off into the dark and lonely streets. George did most of the directions. After several trials, we finally arrived at their place. It was a huge bungalow.

I felt anger coursing through my veins. I wished that George and Tami had suffered. I solely wished that they had nothing. I wished them unhappiness.

George led me into the house and, just like he had promised me, there was no sight of Tami in the house. Just me and him, a perfect time to execute my plan. "Wine?" George chirped. I smiled at him and nodded my head in agreement. "Sure, but I can find my way to the kitchen."You look like a mess," I joked. George nodded his head in response and winked at me. "Alright baby, but I will be upstairs in the bedroom, waiting for you." He said as he slowly made his way up the stairs.

I could sense the excitement in his tone. I scoffed slowly as I made my way towards an open area on the left corner. I could tell that it was the kitchen just by looking through the transparent glass doors. I slid the door open and stepped into the kitchen. My eyes settled on the fridge and, in haste, I grabbed a bottle of tequila from it.

Just as I was about to pour the liquid into a champagne glass, I noticed a whitish substance in a small container hidden behind the fridge. It looked like someone was doing drugs. Was it Tami or George? Or rather, was George drugging Tami or the other way round.

I shrugged it off and rather saw it as an opportunity to drug George to sleep. Then I searched his house, hoping to find something on him. Without wasting any more time, I poured the liquid into the champagne glass and mixed it with tequila to avoid any traces.

I shoved the whitish substance into the pockets of my palazzo pants. I was going to show James later. I wanted to know exactly what it was.

"What is taking you so long baby? Have you found the kitchen?" I heard George's voice echo loudly in the house.

"On my way." I yelled back. I picked up the champagne glasses and hurriedly made my way up the stairs. I met George lying on the bed in his room. He had already taken his shirt and trousers off. George looked like he was in haste to have s*x with me, he looked desperate for it.

"Have this." I smiled at him as I handed him the champagne glass. He hastily gulped the liquid down his throat. To my uttermost surprise, in less than a few minutes, George had dozed off. This whitish substance indeed worked magic. I just needed to know who among George and Tami, was using it and why they needed it.

I climbed off the bed and rushed towards the bedside table. My eyes slowly scanned the papers lying carelessly on the desk. They looked like unimportant documents, but just in case I would need them later, I made sure to take a picture of everything with my phone.

I went straight to the first drawer and my eyes widened in shock as i saw some documents containing the contents of my properties. As i digged deeper, I saw pictures and information of some unknown people. Everything seemed so suspicious, I knew George was up to something fishy, but I understood none of it.

I planned to reach out to James later. He would be able to interpret everything for me.

As my hands reached for the last drawer, a loud beeping noise interrupted me. I was startled, but then I saw the screen of George's phone light up. I knew I would find something on George's phone too. Just as I was about to reach for the phone, I heard the door to the front door click open wide.

My heart raced extremely fast as I realized I was in a tough spot. To reach for the phone or to check the culprit at the door?
