Francis, nodded in agreement,sent the pictures to mail, I will do a proper review on them before we make a purchase.

Alicia's phone rang and it was Kimberly calling,”she picked “ hey babe ,are you okay?okay,see you soon!!!, she ended the call.

Francis, who has been wondering who Alicia was speaking with asked “who was that”?Alicia replied “it's my bestie”.

Francis said ,"I guess I should leave now." He stood up immediately and started wearing his clothes,Alicia sat on the bed in her sexy black lingerie and watched him get dressed.

I will see you later,Francis said to Alicia, Alicia replied “won't you at least give me a kiss “before leaving ? Francis moved closer to Alicia and gave her a kiss,he left hurriedly.

Kimberly was sitted in a restaurant,looking so stunning and ravishing,laughing while chatting with a friend she met on “social media”while waiting for Alicia's arrival.

Alicia arrived at the restaurant, Kimberly was so excited to see her friend ,she reached to her for a tight hug,Alicia sat down in an empty chair right in front of Kimberly.

Alicia said to Kimberly “you look so beautiful and stunning”for your age,I want to look this young when I'm your age , Kimberly said “I'm just a year older than you “they both bursted into laughter .

How is work going? Kimberly asked ,"work is good ,I'm just trying to look for more clients", Kimberly replied “don't worry you will be fine “I know you to be very hardworking.

You are also very beautiful and tenacious,Alicia replied ,”what has my beauty got to do with business”?rolling her eyes,”beauty is a gift and it's undeniable”Kimberly said to Alicia and they laughed.

Alicia said to Kimberly,anyways,I wish I had all you have ,you know…sitting and relaxing ,just being a housewife, Kimberly said jokingly,”be careful what you wish for”.

How is your husband doing ?Kimberly asked , Alicia replied with so much disgust on her face,”he's there”, can we order now ?

They ordered food and drinks ,ate and had a lot of girls talk before they both went back to their houses.

Kimberly was laying in her bed at night chatting and smiling at her phone while texting her social media friend, when her two children came into her room.

Mummy!!! The younger child called, Kimberly stood up in annoyance and said,you guys don't know how to knock?she asked .

We are sorry mummy,they both apologized, they all sat on the bed, and she asked ,what do you guys want? Mummy, we are leaving for school soon and we need money, I will send you some money before you leave. Now you guys should excuse me.

She sent her kids back to their room and went back to texting her social media friend whom she enjoys chatting with .

Alicia got home very late that night and her husband “Mr John” was waiting for her in the living room, she entered and saw him sipping alcohol.

Mr John asked with a very loud voice and a deadly look on his face ,where are you coming from this late night?I'm coming from work, she replied.

At where?Mr John asked again,do I ask you where you go?oh,I forgot you are always at home." She replied with sarcasm,I work from home and you know it,Mr John replied.

Please, I'm so tired right now ,I need to shower and go to bed.I don't have time for this drama,she walked out on him and headed to the room, Mr John watched her leave in disbelief.

On an evening, Kimberly was heading to the supermarket for groceries shopping, he saw a man at the road side and told her driver to stop the car, he did.

She rolled down the car window and stretched out her head,with so much excitement on her face, Kanye!!! She called.

The guy stood there with so much confusion and asked,”Madam, do I know you”?She said ,"Kanye,it's me, your friend from f*******:.

Do I look different?she asked with a smile on her face ,Kanye who was confused, replied angrily" Madam, I don't know you “if you are looking for someone to scam ,go forward not me.

He left so infuriated, Kimberly was so confused, disappointed and felt really embarrassed.

Kimberly on the other hand was really embarrassed,she sat quietly in the car till she got to the supermarket.

Her driver noticed the unusual quietness and asked what was going on,she said nothing .

She got to the supermarket and got everything she needed for herself. She transferred aggression to the cashier who attended to her ,because she was too slow.

She got home undressed and had a cold shower,made dinner for herself, husband and Children.

She called the children to the dining room when the food was ready, she served them and the children asked about their father ,when they were about eating.

Kelvin and Khloe “are we going to eat without daddy tonight?”

Kimberly “can you guys just maintain silence while eating this food?None of you should ask me any question,you guys are aware your dad won't come home on time.

They all ate the food quietly, the children packed the plates to the kitchen and went back to their room.

Kimberly, who was still angry about the incident that occurred earlier that day, picked her phone to call her husband. She wanted to know why he wasn't home yet but he did not pick his phone .

She got more infuriated and decided to cool off with some alcohol. She reached for the bar and picked some alcohol with a glass cup.

She walked back to the sitting room and poured herself a drink. She drank a lot of alcohol and got drunk while waiting for Francis to come back home but he didn't come home that night .

She slept off on the couch in the sitting room.

Francis Williams, CEO of Williams Interior Decor, lay on the bed in the hotel room, reviewing designs with Alicia, one of his interior decorators and a friend of his wife, Kimberly. Alicia moved closer, her sexy black lingerie a distraction, as Francis nodded in agreement, sending the pictures to his email for further review.

Alicia's phone rang, and she answered, speaking to Kimberly. Francis wondered who she was talking to, and Alicia replied, "My bestie." Francis prepared to leave, exchanging a kiss with Alicia before departing.

Meanwhile, Kimberly sat in a restaurant, laughing and chatting with a friend she met on social media. When Alicia arrived, the two friends hugged, and Kimberly complimented Alicia's beauty. They chatted about work, and Kimberly reassured Alicia that she would find more clients.

As they ate, Alicia expressed admiration for Kimberly's life as a housewife. Kimberly jokes, "Be careful what you wish for." When asked about her husband, Alicia replied with disgust, "He's there."

Kimberly returned home, texting her social media friend, when her children interrupted, asking for money for school. After sending them back to their room, Kimberly continued texting.

Alicia arrived home late, finding her husband, Mr. John, waiting in the living room. He questioned her late arrival, and Alicia replied sarcastically, "I work from home, and you know it." Mr. John watched her leave, feeling frustrated.

The next evening, Kimberly went grocery shopping and encountered a man she claimed to know from f*******:. However, he denied knowing her, leaving Kimberly embarrassed.

At home, Kimberly's children asked about their father's absence during dinner. Kimberly silenced them, and they ate quietly. Later, Kimberly tried calling Francis, but he didn't answer. She became infuriated, drank alcohol, and passed out on the couch.

As the night wore on, Francis arrived at another hotel room, this time with a mysterious woman. He received a text from Kimberly, "Where are you?" Francis smiled, knowing he had to keep his secrets hidden. And as he turned off his phone, the mysterious woman whispered, "You're married, aren't you?" Francis's eyes locked onto hers, and he replied, "That's complicated."

Francis couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline as his gaze was drawn to the strange woman. He knew he was playing with fire, but he couldn't resist the temptation.

Francis said, "I'm married, but my marriage is... complicated," in a raspy, low voice.

The strange woman arched an eyebrow, a wicked smile creeping across her lips. "Complicated? "That's an interesting choice of words," she replied, her voice full with seduction.

Francis' pulse quickened as the woman drew in closer, her lips inches from his. He was aware he was crossing a line, but he couldn't stop himself.

They were ready to kiss when Francis's phone buzzed, loud in the quiet. He hesitated, his eyes locked onto the woman's, before finally answering.

"Hello?" Francis said, his voice cautious.

"Francis, where are you? "Kimberly's voice sounded worried.

The mystery woman was staring at Francis with such intensity that it made his skin crawl, and Francis's heart fell as he glanced at her.

"I'm... uh... working late," Francis said.

"Working late? At this hour?" Kimberly's voice was tinged with suspicion.

Francis was aware that he had been apprehended, but he acted quickly. "I... uh... had a meeting with a potential client," he said, attempting to be believable.

There was a delay on the other end of the line, and Francis felt he got away with it for a little minute. Kimberly then spoke, her voice freezing chilly.

"Francis, I'm aware you're lying. And I will find out what is going on."

Francis's pulse skipped a beat as he glanced at the mystery woman, who was staring at him with a knowing glint.

"Kimberly, I—"

But before Francis could finish, the line went dead. Kimberly had hung up on him.

Francis's eyes locked onto the mysterious woman, and he knew he was in trouble. Big trouble.

And as he turned to face her, he noticed a smile bloom across her face, sending shivers down his spine.

"You're in trouble, Francis," she said softly, her voice heavy with desire. "But don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Francis gazed in terror as the unknown woman reached out and caressed his face, her fingers sliding down his cheek.
