CHAPTER FIVE
"I got a letter that said you were the one who stole the money and implicated my dad," I said.
"Oh, did it say who wrote it? Rose asked.
Rose was surprised because she made sure no one saw her as she sneaked into Mr Smith's house.
"Rose, I want to know what I did to you" I shouted, my voice breaking with tears rolling down my cheeks.
"You didn't do anything Jane, you just seem to have everything, yes You have the man that I want," she said
"I love Dave, but you were in the way of Me having him, so I needed to get you out of the picture to have him all to myself," she said smiling happily.
"But I gave you the best gift ever, a rich husband," she said laughing so hard.
"I knew your dad can't afford that amount but didn't know the billionaire would demand from you In return," Roses says
"And you can't bear to see your dad suffer," she said to me.
I stood there listening to all the trash she was saying to me, I felt like strangling her. But I can't, I don't want to go to jail for a slut like her.
"I bet you are happy now, that's why you didn't bother to check up on me," I asked.
"I don't care if you are fine or dying, you can go to hell for all I care, I have Dave to myself and mine alone" she shouted aggressively breathing heavily.
Jane let out two hot slaps on her face to reset her brain.
"What? Did you just slap me?" she asked, holding her cheeks.
"I will do that again, if you say any more words to my face" I replied with anger in my voice.
I will make sure you pay and come begging me to forgive you" I said to her.
"I will never do that," Rose replies.
"You can do your worst Jane, I don't care" she shouted behind me as I left her place in tears and anger.
I didn't know what to do and whom to tell, but when I got home Mrs Catty saw me, I didn't reply to her questions, she wanted to know what was wrong with me.
I went straight to the room and banged the door closed, I didn't want to be bothered by anyone. I bounced on my bed, laid my face in between the pillows, and cried myself out.
I wonder what I did to deserve this kind of betrayal from my best friend whom I trusted so much.
I need to find out who knew she was the one who sneaked into the house that day and kept quiet all this while.
It was time for dinner, I didn't want to eat or see anyone or talk to anyone at the moment. I heard a knock on my door. I knew it was Mrs. Catty knocking.
I went to open the door, I was surprised to see Smith standing in front of my door.
"You are not coming down for dinner," Smith asked as he walked into my room.
"I don't know why you always like to be called all the time for dinner," he said.
"I don't feel hungry" I replied
"Why are you not" he asked
"I was told you came today In tears," he said
"Nothing happened ' I replied
"I'm not expecting you to tell me what happened but don't walk around in the street crying like a lost puppy"
"I don't want people to think otherwise, " he said.
I was dumbfounded at his words, I thought he was going to be persuasive a little to find out what happened to me but he didn't instead he said those words to me.
"If you don't care, why do you bother asking me then?" I asked
"Do I look like I came to find out why you were crying?" he asked, strangely looking at me.
"I came up to tell you not to stress the nanny by coming up to call you for Finn, You must have dinner with me, I'm not telling you, Jane"
"It's a command!!!" He said furiously.
"The day I will come up to call you for dinner you may not like what I will do to you"
"If you don't want to feel my wrath, obey my orders, peace and harmony will flow," he said and left my room.
"Peace and harmony indeed" I repeated mimicking him and slammed my doors closed.
Jane felt that there was more to this marriage that she didn't know, she felt that Mr Smith had another agenda as to why he married her, and she swore to find out the reason for the marriage.
Smith left the next morning, without saying a word or bothering to ask me for breakfast. I only got to find out that she rushed out after getting a call from the office.
"Good morning sir":the secretary greets Mr Smith standing up.
"Good morning Clare, please send in the business schedules I have this morning and fix the meeting I have with one-hour intervals apart," he says.
"Yes sir" she replies
He opens his doors and closes them, he sits on the chair in a very exhausted way, lets out a sigh of relief, and begins to wallow in his thoughts.
"Now that I have her, all I need is for her to bear me an heir while I send her out taking my child," he says in his mind.
His thoughts were interrupted by a rigor knock on the door, and then Angela bangs in with the secretary trying to stop her from going further.
"Ma please, you are to book an appointment before seeing him," Clare says while trying to stop her.
"Clare, leave her," smith says
Clare turns and nods at her boss in response and leaves.
"Angela, to what do I own this sort of embarrassment" Smith asked.
"Seriously? This is an embarrassment to you" Angela asked.
"So you think l
eaving me for another woman is not an embarrassment, right?" She said,
"Answer me, Smith," Angela shouted.
