I sat by the beach side watching the sea crash against the sea rock under the moon. This is my first time at the beach and as much as I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of me, I can’t. I can’t stop thinking about the earlier drama at the party
Fazya and Melissa are not going to let this go.
How am I going to save myself? How would I stayed married to Kylian? I tried to think of ways by which I could save my marriage from the mess I landed myself. I put my head on a pike for them and I am sure they won’t hesitate to cut it off.
I removed my necklace from my neck and let my wedding ring fall to my hand. I carefully placed it back where it was supposed to be.
I felt someone blown past me and looked to my side to find Marcus sitting on the sand with me
“Hey” I muttered. He responded with a soft smile. I ruined tonight for him just because I couldn’t keep my emotions in place “I am sorry for how I acted tonight, It was not matured of me”
“It is fine, I think I have gotten used to your mood swings” he said, even though it is dark but with the help of the big silver moon, I could see his smile
“Did I make things difficult for you and Kylian?” I inquired even though I knew that was exactly what I did
“As long as we are cool on the football field, it does not matter how our relationship is outside of football. All that matters is that we win”
“I am sure you came all the way here to bring you guys closer, I am sorry I ruined that”
“Even if tonight that gone as planned, I would not have been able to mend our relationship… There are too many people around him” Marcus explained
“You just need two minutes of his time to talk, I don’t think…”
“You are not getting my point” He cuts in sharply “I am not talking about the crowd at the party, even when we are the only two in the shower, there are still too many people around him”
I am not getting his guy’s point
“You don’t understand me, do you” he said
“I am lost honestly” I let out
“Let just say there are a lot of people who won’t want us to have close relationship because of their own personal gain”
“So you are trying to say that a good relationship between you and Kylian means doom for other people”
“Now you are catching up” he commented
“I don’t understand, what kind of damage can your friendship with Kylian cause them”
“Did you not hear about a clause in Kylian’s contract?”
“What clause?”
“That he has a say on who gets hired”
Are you kidding me? They are using that to suck up to him and ostracize Marcus. That is so stupid, now I get the reason why he was alone when he first got to Paris. Now, the betting makes sense.
Those fucker! And they all look nice
“Those fucker, how can….” I was cut off by the boom of firework, then a resounding yell of happy new year
“It is the new year already” Marcus stated
“Yeah… Happy new year” I stretched out my hand to in hand shake. He looked at me weirdly “This is something we do back home in Nigeria” he took my hand and said it back, then I turned back my attention to the beautiful display in front of me
“Wow… This is so beautiful” I commented. This is my first time of seeing a full bloom firework in the sky and it is just so beautiful. i got to see so many thing because of my marriage to Kylian, I can’t just let it go. They can only slam me with a divorce paper if they can find me
“Marcus, is there still a seat for me on your private plane to Bali?”
He looked at me with bafflement, like he trying to gauge what I am thinking or what is going through my mind
“Of course, but I thought your husband wo…”
“Won’t mind. He won’t bat an eye even if I die today. So, I am done denying myself things I desire”
“Okay, then but the plane leaves in an hour”
“I will meet you outside in ten minutes” I said and raced towards my rented room.
I know running away from the problem won’t solve it but it would give me time to find solutions to it.
I opened my door and life literally went out of me when I found Fazya and Melissa waiting patiently for me
I guess the problem will not give me a chance to run away.
Shit! How the hell did they even know my room? What am I going to do?
“Hey” I smiled sheepishly
“The hell are you thinking” Melissa yelled at me and within a twinkle of an eye, She was in face and giving me a loud resounding slap across my cheek
What the fuck just happened? Did I just get slapped because of Kylian?
“Did you just slap me?” I asked her as I could feel anger boiling me inside of me
“Yes, I did” she affirmed with confidence “and I will do it again, there is nothing you are going to do. How dare you frolic yourself with another man right in front of him… his teammate at that? Are you not ashamed of yourself?”
I looked at Fazya and watch her look at me with indifference. She is not making any move to stop her rabid dog of a daughter in law
Is this what my life is now? To be controlled by these people? And when I don’t fall in line, I get slapped and poked. Fury ignited in my body, I can’t take this anymore, I am tired of this. I pushed past Melissa and went to Fazya
I removed the ring on my finger and placed it on her hand
“Tell your son that I am done” I said and start to park my things
“How dare tell us you are done? What right do you have to cut it off?” Melissa rants next to me. I ignored her and gave her words no two cents
“I am talking to you” she dragged me forcefully by my hand and I slapped her hands off. She winced in pain
“If you touch me one more thing, I will fucking beat you up” I hollered enraged “Just because I let you walk over me does not mean I can’t fight back. I am done with Kylian and frankly, I don’t know what the problem is, you never liked me anyway. Now is your chance to get him the woman you want”
I zipped up and moved to leave
“Tell Alice, I will come back for the remaining of my stuff” I dragged my luggage behind me and as I open the door
“You have nothing to come back for” Melissa stated
“What?” I looked back to her
“According to the contract, if you embarrass Kylian or you are caught cheating on him… every asset you acquired with his help will be collected from you”
“I did not even cheat on him, what are you talk… You know what, I was surviving before I met Kylian, I will survive after him” I turn back to the door and opened it
“I can’t just let you leave” Fazya finally spoke. I turned and looked at her. Her eyes were focused on my belly “What if you are…”
“Pregnant? Trust me, I am not. Frankly, I think you need to get your son to a doctor to have him checked out. I think he might be having problem with his swimmers” I taunted and left
