THE SILENT KILLER

THE SILENT KILLER

CHAPTER 29
I drag my lazy self back to the sitting room after coming up with a conclusion.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM.

"Right on time Donna, I'm just laying the table for lunch."
Pam tells me happily.
I'm already famished therefore I join her without detesting.
After I have had my fill,  I gulp down a glass of juice and and head upstairs.
Back to my bedroom.
The master bedroom.
My clothes are still in a heap, nobody bothered to put them back to the wardrobe.
I start arranging them one by one, humming happily to an imaginary tune.
When I'm finally done, I take a long shower then choose a fitting dress and matching sandals.
I put on slight make up and apply some lipstick.
I'm looking at a totally different woman in the mirror.
My hair has grown longer  and I just love my new look.
I tie my overgrown hair into a bun after blow-drying it to avoid shrinking.
I'm ready for a change and Don must see o rather feel the new Donna.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not going anywhere.
Far from that.
I'm just hanging around, all alone, having a sweet moment to myself.
When I finally go to the living room, Pam is long gone after placing our food on the dining table.
I'm not hungry, and even if I was, I wouldn't eat before Don arrives.
I rummage though the house bar and trace a red wine, champagne to be precise, good for digestion.
I set it alongside the food
and set two wine glasses as well.
Don, I'm so ready for you.

The man of the house arrives some minutes to 10 pm. He goes straight to the dining table and I'm hot on heels behind him.
He can't keep his eyes off me.
As he's serving himself, I whisper into his ears;
"Lemmoe serve you Hun..."
He looks up at me and meets the sweetest smile ever.
He let's me serve him and as I settle on the chair beside him, he can't help but steal glances at me.
After eating  to his fill, I fill our glasses with champagne and rise mine up for a toast. He respond and after having  our first sip, he asks me what the occasion is.
"Well, you are my husband Don. And I'm ready to continue serving you as your wife. This will only happen if we bury out differences and start afresh!"
He looks startled.
Well, do I care?
No I don't.
All I want is revenge on my relatives and with him on my side, I can revenge even on the devil himself.
"I'm sure you need something from me Donna. Is it money? I know I haven't given you some money for weeks now. Don't worry, I will give you some tomorrow morning."
" Far from that love, far from that. In the contrally, I just need your love, nothing more!"
I lie to him.
It's won't be the first time I'm lying either.

Back in the bedroom, I'm ready to show him what my mama gave me despite amid protests.
Finally, we end up making crazy love and sleep Soundly.
Early the following day, I make sure he's set for the day.
I kiss him goodbye as he hopes into his machine.
I'm all smiles as I get back into the house.
It's Pam's say off an I'm all alone in there.
I get about doing the house chores to distract myself.
As I'm busy wiping the TV stand, message pops up in my phone.
Upon checking, it's an alert from my bank. Don has deposited a huge amount of money and a. Sms from him follows.
"I hope you are satisfied my wife."
I just reply with a smile emoticon and get about doing my business.
He thinks everything is all about money!?
Now I'm more than ever determined to ask him for that favour and I'm sure he won't say no!
