THE TRUTHFUL LIE

SECRETIVE

The entrance door creak opened as Jaymes unhurriedly stepped into his apartment...

He's living a secretive life with his younger brother

He walked around the apartment, he then sauntered to his bathroom. His sitting areas were tidy but his room was unkept with his clothes laying on the whole floor including his mattress.

He sighs for relief as he hurries to the bathroom puring warm water on himself...

When he was done he wrapped a towel around his waist. He strides out of the bathroom, his body dripped out water sprinkling on the tiles

He walked straightforward to his mirror and started rubbing his hair. He tightened his stomach so that his he's six-pack could be revealed. He was quite old but look younger...

“Darn” he laughed and stroked his stomach... “Hahaha...”

“So she thinks she's wise,” he said to himself

He took his phone “11:45 pm, am gonna be late" he said as he drop the phone on the bed...

“...She thinks she can make a fool out of me... She would get the diamond all to herself, she don't know am a step ahead of her... Elizabeth watch it, am coming for you... Haha” Jaymes said to himself

Jaymes walked to his Closet and crap a suit and hurriedly picked up his phone walking out of the house...

- • NEXT DAY • -

My eyes flicker open as the sun's reflection rays permeated through my eyes...

I drowse yawning and spread on my bed trying to regain my awareness...

I reached my hands across the bed trying to touch my husband

I instantly jumped up from the bed noticing my husband was not on the bed. I looked around the room but couldn't uncover where he was.

“Babe... Babe... Baby, are you there!?” I shouted putting on my house slippers, I rushed to the bathroom but couldn't find him... I tighten my nightgown suitably reaching out for the stairs...

“Where could he have to go?” I said on checking the whole house.

I went back to my room passing through the left Curved stairs.

I picked up my phone scrolling through my contact book.

Dialing...

• the number you are calling is currently switched off or out of coverage, please try again later. The call ended...

I gasped.

Where could he have to go? Umm, but he doesn't go to work this early unless he has something so important at work... Probably he might have something important at his workplace

“anyways, I think it's the right time I go see Jaymes. I'd shot my shoot now” I said to myself.

“Ma!”

Arrgh • I groaned as I ignored the signal

“Madam Elizabeth!!” The same voice call out for me the second time, this time it was even louder.

I turned toward the voice. It was my worst enemy and Damien's best Nanny... She was the captain of the house “What it is” I shoved a smile

”Sir said I should give you this once you are awake..." She explained.

“Umm... You mean my husband said you should give him this... What even that?” I said looking at the container... It was a jug of coffee and a cup.

“Really?... So why didn't he leave it by the room desk” I said slowly.

“He said I should make it for you and also give you this paper,” she said.

“Okay," I said as I collected the tray from here... I turn towards the stairs and pulse for a while and then called out for her “Hanayth!”

“Yes, ” she responded quickly.

“Did you by any chance know where your boss... I mean my husband knows where he might go or even any clue about his whereabouts?” I slowly and calmly asked

“No ma, he just said I should give you the tea and the note”

“Umm... Okay you can go then” I sighed as I continued my movement to my room

Gasped...

I hurriedly lose the sheet opened...

- TURN LEFT. I quickly turn left and saw the description in the mirror. - DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE.

“How did he know I was about to leave the house," I said being surprised.

This is quite strange, how did he on earth know I was going to sit this way writing it on my actual left as described in the note... But I didn't see the writing in the mirror when I was leaving this room earlier. Or could he be watching me right away “OMG!” that means he knew I and Jaymes is having an affair. Nay, it is impossible...

I turn to the coffee tea I drink up the coffee tea gently.

“What going on?” I slowly said holding my head and getting dazy “... Could it be that Hanayth missed up in my tea, but... ” I dozed off on the bed pouring the little leftover tea in the cup...

“You are so slow Jaymes... I mean that little task you are asked to do that is delaying you for decades," an unknown voice said. His identity was also hidden from Jaymes as he will always crouch in the dark...

“I will soon deliver boss” Jaymes let out

“You have been saying this bull s**t since you have been on this mission and all you do is give some excuses... You better act fast before they both realize you are a green snake under a green grass" he said with his unusual voice... His voice was also a bit huge.

“Don't worry boss, I have her under my convoy... She's mine and can never leave my enclosure” Jaymes showed off...

“So silly or are you playing with me ” the unknown man yelled “You better get me that I won't unless... You know what I can do when someone messes with me”
