Veiled Desires

EPISODE 8

Phil, my worst nightmare! That jerk

And looks like he's on a mini vacation too. Not looking bad at all with his sunshade and nicely fitted shorts

I hope he doesn't see me, looking out to see his Claudia but looks like he came alone. Everyone in this beach is clearly with their partner so If he isn't then perhaps he's looking for one. So what the hell happened

I can't believe we just walked past him without noticing, have I changed that much??

Well, why should I be bothered?

He's not in prison today all thanks to me

I'd rather have him as far away from me as possible

Need some coconut juice? Hector whispers

Why not, that'll be nice… I responded.

I'll be right back…. He rushes off to get them

While at a distance, the feeling is nothing short of nostalgic as I ponder in my heart my past with Phil and in seconds it becomes seemingly poetic

" Phil, once the man of bright light

Aura like the sun, shines without a fight

Till now I am swept away by his sight

Here are my days for him full of plight

Once I never wanted to love another

I wanted true love not lines of utter

He uttered the language of love with no sign of stutter

Yet like children without a mother, he left me to ponder

Tears of my tenderself

My plea could write a book to fill the shelf

So ashamed of my naked self

Yet he plundered me all for the pleasure of his wicked self

Phil, my first love

Fly like the dove

I pray my desires of old have been turned off like the stove

As I live my life to do only what Hector would approve"

Here you go, he hands me my drink…distracting me from my mini fantasy

Let's check out the other part of the beach… he holds unto me as we walk commanding admirance with each step

………………………………………….

It's morning, another morning after having sweet hot s*x with him. I guess he's had his fill with several women and that's why he knows his way around it.

I feel refreshed and somehow, marrying him isn't that bad. I mean almost

I guess this is the sweet experience

The bitter would come right after we're back to Sweden

Struggling to chew a chunk of mashed potatoes in my mouth, I sight him from a distance

Well you know who?

The question is? What on earth is he doing in the UK and from what I know about him, he's good at being indoors so coming out quite often would mean he's out looking for something

Or probably a big catch, well this is probably the most luxurious hotel in South London. Clearly his movement is not without cause

Another woman to fall into his web

Auch, judging from my experience that won't be nice except probably he's changed

On the other side of the beach Phillip murmurs to himself

Heck, another $45 wasted and I'm yet to find the perfect catch. Is everyone a couple now? Or are there no more cheating wives around?

I'm not spending one night longer here, this week's just not my week.

Well yeah, that's what he does now.

Claudia left me. She left me for Chuks that jerk. Well at least he's not a woman beater like I am. Now she's having the good life and I'm stuck here in the UK after selling my mall to probably enjoy the playboy life.

Oh my God? I know that face from somewhere I'm just so sure(referring to Amelia)

But that's the owner's suite, probably that's his new wife everyone was talking about. Perhaps I'll do my research. She might just be the one I'm looking for.

I'll come back later, I wouldn't want to get into trouble staring too close….he adds

…………………………………………………

Dalian Brute is here in our suite, probably here for business

But I'm confused, Hector made my dad understand that Dalian was a jerk and was very unprofessional in business and he would never have anything to do with him

The question is? Is it business??

If not, what on earth could make Dalian Brute come all the way to the UK just to discuss???

I think there's something up their sleeves and I'm definitely going to find out… Perhaps my dad was right but where does Hector come in?

While still in thought… Good morning ma'am thunders from the background

It's a well-built man, probably one of the staff

I'm here to take you on your horse riding expedition… As instructed by the boss

So if you're ready, I'm ready.

Grrrrrh! That jerk

He wants to put me away so he can discuss his shitty games with Dalian. It's clearly a nice strategy

Ma'am are you there… he cuts in

Yeah let's go…but I'll have to change into something more suitable for the occasion

While changing I attempt to eavesdrop but their voices are too low, probably because I'm still in the room. I can barely hear a thing

Frustrated, I leave the room with the young man who supposedly is to take me on a horse tour

Comfortable ma'am?

He asks as he saddles the horse

I'm alright… let's just get out of here

I respond with a seemingly loud voice

It's a beautiful view round the hotel, the landscape is beautiful. While at it, there goes my worst nightmare. Why on earth does he keep haunting me, every single place I go?

Ma'am I'll be right back, I must have dropped our gate pass to the other part of the hotel where King Charles is lodged.

Be back in a jiffy meanwhile enjoy your view

W-a-iit…. He rushes off just before a say a word

Heck! I can't ride a horse and was this all planned or a mere coincidence?

Hello ma'am….

Shit I know that voice, I don't think I wanna turn

What are you doing here all alone by yourself? He asks again, this time reaching out for my palm

I'm fine, I forcefully let go and in the attempt we make our first close range eye contact

Shit… I'm in a big mess

And why on earth is he staring like he's not met me before
