THE CO -WIVES
CHAPTER 9
JEFF'S POINT OF VIEW

All my life, I had admired nice things. I always envied the live others had. One person in particular whom I envied with all my heart was James who had been my friend since our primary days. James was a bright guy and he performed well in his exams. I on the other hand, I wasn't so bright so after our secondary education, James joined the university while I did menial jobs for upkeep. We lost touch and I was astonished to meet him seven years later, swimming in wealth, living large and driving the latest cars in town.
He was happy to see me and he promised to get me a job as his wife's driver. Back then I was working as a delivery boy in one of the industries in the country.
The deal was sealed and I started job immediately. But I had a mission!
One thing for sure..... James trusted me and he still valued our friendship.
It didn't take time before his wife came running into my arms for comfort. She claimed that James was too busy for her and there was no splice in their marriage.
She had swallowed the bait as well as the hook.
We would make crazy love everywhere and we made sure we left no trace because we didn't the husband to catch us.... O rather, that's what I made her believe... On the centrally, I was a dreamer, a go getter and I wanted his wife for myself, as well as this company. I frequently dropped some stuff to James's office and there, I met a beautiful damsel. My heart ached for her immediately. All my thoughts were on her. I temporarily forgot about Joyce. But there was a problem!
The boss seemed overprotective towards her.
It's like he had an eye for her. Joyce had promised to secure a big position in their company, but I needed more than just being an employee. I wanted the whole company to be under my name!  I was willing to do whatever it takes to swindle as much money as I could so as to establish myself in life.
When I succeeded in fooling Joyce, She seemed to be so much into me. I user to update her about the pretty girl in the office. I would sometimes lie to her that they usually go out on lunch dates with James.
I never wanted to see a happy family.
Finally, I had secured myself a position as the head of finance department despite the fact that I didn't go past form four.
I had threatened the boss with the video I made, Joyce and I making crazy love. He guarded his reputation with utmost care and he couldn't allow the video to leak.
I knew I had lost a friend but what had to be to make money, had to be done!
I started making advances towards Jackline but she always snubbed me. I had a strong feeling that she was seeing the boss but I had no means to prove that. I kept on updating Joyce via text on their every move. I was determined  to destroy that family completely.
Within a period of three months, I  had swindled a lot of money and I was ready to quit the damn job. I was determined to render them penniless.... But I wasn't gonna quit without a fight. I had to take Jackline with me even if it meant abducting her. I hated my current life but man had to do whatever it takes to survive.
I laid down my strategies and the more I thought about her, the more I wanted her for myself before the boss took her away. She worsened the situation when she confronted me about telling Joyce lies. I had eaves dropped on their conversation with the boss and I overheard him telling her how much he loves her. Then they left to God knows where together. It was time to act....
I had to act fast.
Faster than she would have imagined.....
