Undoing Love

Encounters & Changes

Alfonso Reed is my name and on the 12th day of november, 2010 is a day that i can never forget for many years to come. I got married to the love of my life in a church not that i am a religious man neither was my wife Lilith. Oh well i shoulda been warned aforehand that with a name like that she had to have some of the cunning that came with it or the witchery involved. We were so happy smiling, hugging and exchanging kisses with our family and friends. Had i known i was the only happy one i might have comported myself more. I might have done so many things or changed them but here we are, no need trying to flush a flood anyways

Things were good for a year or at least they were until her colours came out. I was so in love that i didn't draw up a prenuptial agreement. Lilith was busy spending my money and also sleeping with anything and everything who knows if she even contaminated my dog. I guess i have become a cynic because of her. Now she wants a divorce because according to her she can't spend her life with a impotent workaholic and yes am impotent according to the doctors can't impregnate my wife and I was hoping our love could see us through but apparently not. What a joke! I looked like a f*****g joke. I with all my money and build was impotent. I have never known the true meaning of shame until I read that document seeing the results cut me down to size. I felt the lowest of lows.

Today we sit accross from each other with our lawyers besides us and Lilith demanding half of my company "my Goddamn sweat" Equinox is a software company that i developed in school we deal in the making of computers and phones apps and games and sell to the big shot companies. We in the process of branching into making our own phones and laptops including desktops and this divorce and what she's demanding is gonna put a kink in the works.

I ask my lawyers to offer her money instead but she refuses i mean Jesus she's bleeding me dry by taking half because if i know her she would only sell it to my competition. If she ended up with half the company according to her i can make do with half and i should be happy she's willing to share. We settle on her getting half but i will damned if she keeps it. I have always admired her vicious side as i considered her wily and vicious self strong and intelligent but not so much when am on the receiving end of it.

Walking out of the office with my lawyer a free man with half my company in a spiteful woman's arms i don't feel so free and i doubt i would know the feeling until my company is in my hands again and never again would I allow a woman to best me in a relationship heck no relationships for me anymore.

I call my sales department to be on the lookout for when she sells her half and buy her out discreetly with an airtight agreement of her not getting her hands on anything. I goto the office and bury myself in my work and forget about it all drown my sorrows in the office. For the next 3months i hole up in my office whenever i get to work and don't concern myself with the people in my company so long as work is done we are good. No smiles or chatting only nods. The only person able to make me smile are my friends Nikos and Cameron they are the only pleasure i allow myself because we all grew up together in the orphanage and today we have been able to keep the promise of making it big to ourselves.

They are the only ones i allow into my office whenever they come without an appointment, any other person make an appointment or go f**k yourselves.

3 years later.

I have come a long way from cheating lying ex-wife to being in charge of my full company, yes i am in charge of it all. Lilith tried to sell anonymously she didn't even want me to get it back but i was able to follow the sale and buy back my company she still doesn't know tis my own people who bought it and i would like to keep it that way.

I can finally sit back and relax and enjoy my life. So i call up my friends because i know they would be happy am finally accepting their clubbing invite. Hey Nikos you down for clubbing tonight? Guess am finally ready to unwind after all these while. He replies in the affirmative. I hang up and quickly get home to change and meet up with Nikos. They wanna take me to this new place Gates or something.

At the club we drinking and laughing about old times and catching up on the things we missed when i looked towards the bar and saw Lilith with some random guy and i froze the guys noticing my distraction looked in the direction i was and immediately their smiles and laughter were replaced with scowls at the same time she saw us and started towards us she started to sway in the way that i specially liked before and smirked when she noticed that i was watching her. She stopped in front of me and she said well hello husband what brings you out today?last i heard you were still mourning losing me and half your company or you wanna try to get back with me?

She ran her nail from my shoulder down to my elbow and even though i can't deny there was still some spark of attraction I was immediately disgusted with myself to bother reacting to it. She got the message when i didn't reply the way she expected and looked into my eyes to see disgust instead of desire and surprise flashed accross her face before she quickly masked it. Nikos as always hated her from the get go and took the opportunity to jibe her. Say Lilith you wouldn't happen to have tissue with you, do you? Coz I would need it after taking a piss but how do i flush after doing it? Coz word on the street is that you a toilet

Laughter was heard all round Nikos and those around burst into it. Lilith was so red in the face that she was sputtering for lack of wat to say and spurn round and left the club even walking so fast that her boy toy barely caught up with her. I had to tell Nikos "you my friend have a death wish because you just put yourself on her hitlist"

He laughed and said she can't do nothing that she hasn't tried before. Man i didn't wanto hurt you but she kept on coming onto me before and during your marriage and i heaved a sigh and got up. I need a drink guys something strong am gonna hit the bar and ask for a special anybody need refills?

As i turned to get to the bar thats when i saw her,she was just walking and standing on her toes like she was looking for someone looking in the direction she was trying to see i saw a girl wave her over and i just went on my way but was still admiring her beauty because in a sea of faces with heavy make up and perfumes she was freshfaced with only lip gloss and yet she looked she beautiful with her blond her,pink lips,legs that seemed endless and breasts that should have looked too big on her but fit nicely and encased in her black tube gown i wondered what colour her eyes where curious to know i turned if i could see her but it seemed she was lost in the crowd or with her friends. I gotto the bar and asked the bartender for a bottle of their finest vodka i sat down for him to get it for me when i heard a husky voice beside me say gimme a dirty martini and the bartender asked how dirty? and she laughed a throaty laugh replying very dirty. I turned and it was the beauty i was admiring i guess lady luck was on my side and took this as a signal to getto know her and i asked. You like your martini dirty eh? She replied thats the only way am gonna get drunk and we both laughed. What's your name beauty? She pouted and said you alredy gave me a name "beauty". I laughed and said serzly what's your name and she said am Stacy fashion designer in the making and i replied am Alfonso i work with Equinox. I immediately asked her to join me and the guys and she looked over to her friend who waved her on and we wento my table.

The guys quickly introduced themselves and we enjoyed our time exchanging stories and laughing till tears where out and then some. We finally stumbles out the club around 3am and i asked where she was going so i can drop her off and she gave me her address. I asked her to wait beside the club lemme drive round. I drove out in my benz i stopped in front of her and came out to open her door and she said nice car and i quipped my baby.
