ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Chapter 33

Fenna

“Do you remember the day I told you that I had a  fiancée but I later learnt that all she wanted was what o could offer?”

He asks and I nod. I somberly remember.

But I didn't know they had gone to that extend of displaying their affection in Facebook!

“Camila and I had plans...great plans for the future but fate and greed wouldn't allow her to stick with me. She knew perfectly well that I was the CS's son but I didn't spend on her that much. Her demands were just out of this world.....”
He pauses alittle bit and gulps down loudly.

“Where is she now?”
I ask him absent mindedly, not interested in the rest of the story.

“She eloped with a white man after our engagement. She ended up selling the house I had gifted her as our engagement gift! ”

I can see how hurt he is. I suddenly feel a surge of pity and draw closer to him.

“I'm so sorry Nolan! What about the Facebook account? Does she still operate it?”

I want to know everything...just everything there is to know about her.

“It has been dormant for the last five months. She no longer operates it. I hate talking about her! Where did you get all this information anyway?”

He looks at me questioningly. There's no point lying to him.

I give him my phone after opening the WhatsApp app. He goes through Julia's chat and at the end of it all, he grits his teeth angrily.

“That bitch!”
He curses!
“She'll face my wrath!"

He had only seen the photos in the gallery so he didn't know who sent them.
He springs on his feet and walks out, fumbling with his car keys.

I know he's either going to see Milan or his bitchy wife.

“Easy darling...easy!"
I say as I lock the door.

“I'll be back!”
He shouts back and I chuckle inwardly.

I go back to the bed and I get back to Facebook. I'm tempted to take screenshots of the whole wall but I decide against it.
Seeing her all over my gallery will hurt me even more. The best thing is to block her account and mind my own business.

I block her immediately and connect my phone to the charger as I head downstairs to the kitchen.

Nolan truly loves me but he should have told me about Camille a long time ago.

I brew myself some coffee and slump on the couch and start scrolling through the TV channels.

I need something to distract myself till Nolan shows up again.

******
I wake up with a start!
It's already dark except for the TV light illuminating the whole sitting room.
I'm shocked to realise that I passed out on the couch.

The door bell is continuously rung and I spring up on my feet when I hear Nolan calling out my name.

I rush to open the door for him and he gets in. I follow him after closing the door. He's still in the same clothes he was in earlier today.

I sit on the couch next to him and watch him as he sighs heavily.

“How did it go?"

I ask him.

“That slut is out to destroy everybody. I confronted Milan in his office though she wasn't anywhere to be seen. He told me she went to visit her friend out of the country. I told him everything...how you met, why she hates you and now the current happenings. He was furious about everything and in his anger, he has revealed to me alot of stuff about Julia!”

My mouth is agape. I'm eager to know what things he had been told.

“What took you so long?”

“Milan had insisted that we talk in a calm and private place. We went to a club and he had too much to drink. That's when he came clean. Julia has been making his life a living hell. She blackmailed him to marry her and he had no option. He has something against him which can destroy him completely!”

“What? That shameless bitch! Who does that?”

It's my time to curse.

Though I don't know what she has against Nolan but she's already getting into my nerves.

“Guess who she went to visit?”

“I'm on sure!”

“The same Camille!”

“What?”

“Those women are partners in crime. I don't know why they're determined to destroy lives. I've even learnt that she's nolonger with the white man. He divorced her after three months! He couldn't cope up with her behaviour!”

*****
At the end of it all, Nolan reveals alot to me. He's somehow intoxicated and I totally understand him.

I lock my house and follow him to his house as he calls Lucien to pick me car.
I love him so much and I can't trade him for anything. Never....

****
We're busy taking our dinner which Leah has made with lots of love when Nolan's phone vibrates from the couch.

He picks it up and scrolls through it. It seems he has just received a message.

“What the hell?”

I hear him curse and I think to his side.

He's shaking in rage as he hands the phone to me.

I read through the message and as shock absorbs in my veins, my wobbly legs let go and I slump into Nolan's waiting hands, sending him to the couch....
