She Spits Fire(Completed)

Chapter 7

LEXIS POV

When I finally succeeded in making the love of my life my wife, I literally became the most happiest man in the world. Being around Natalie is fun and super stressing at the same time. It took me by great surprise when Natalie told me that she'll be sleeping in the same room with me. No, I didn't object to that. How could I object to being the first person to see the most beautiful lady, my wife in the morning and the last to see her face at night. I took comfort in having a look at her gracious face after long stressful hours at work when she's asleep. One may be deceived by her peaceful face when she's asleep but truth be told, she's the first born of a python and I don't care to get bitten. The reason behind Natalie wanting to sleep in the same room with me was simple, "Keep your friends close but your ENEMIES closer." She just wanted to be close to me so she could execute most of her poisonous plans easily. A lot but the few I remember is how she's been hiding my favorite stuffs like my perfume, tie and even one of my Italian shoes, whenever she's aware of early business meetings. She does that simply to get into me because she knows being late would cost me a lot. Natalie has tried to spill oil on the tiled floor with hopes of making me fall but I escaped all except the last one which she forgot she had spilled oil on the floor and slipped hard on the floor herself. I really teased her a lot but I ended up being the same person rescheduling my business meetings to take care of her. I take delight in the little things she does and I sometimes act as though I've no clue about her next step so I wouldn't see her sad defeated face.

I know Natalie to be crazy, she did everything in order to get me pissed off and so I'll file for a divorce but that wouldn't happen. I was having late lunch with my buddy, Steven from Standford University when I received a message from Natalie.
For a moment, my pulse rate stilled and so was everything surrounding me. I felt a throbbing pain in my heart as I saw the woman I've sacrificed my life for, my wife in bed with her driver. Steven realized my sudden change in mood and snatched the phone from me. He just replied her and put my phone in his pocket.
"Get up bruh, this environment isn't conducive for our tantrum." Steven said, parting my shoulder in a form of asking me to relax.
"Let's use my car. I'll have one of my boys come for yours" He told me as we head towards the cars.
"Take me home" I told him in a low voice with my eyes shut.
"What?" Steven asked as though he didn't hear what I said.
"I said take me home or give me the key to my car!" I told him again agitatedly.
"Relax bruh, you can't go home in this state. Even if I let you go what are you going to do to her? You'll only let your emotions get the best of you and that will end up showing her how much you're affected by what she has done. Your wife is stubborn and you must give her a feel of your stubbornness. You've been soft on her for far too long. It's time to change the game and take reins as the head of your home."

That sank very well with me. In order to be able to cherish what she has at her disposal, I have to brush the soft spot I've for her aside and act like the hardcore Lexis Miltmore that I'm known to be.

"So what do you suggest I do now?" I asked looking at him now.
"My home. You'll be staying with me for a couple of days". He stated flatly with a smile.
"That's impossible" I stated and he gave me an undiluted glare. "I can't leave Natalie there alone. Not when we have an issue to settle. At least let me talk to her and know why she did that to me."
" You're not going to have a talk with anyone over this issue not even Natalie. Let her continue with whatever she has started because she won't be having her cake with sugar icing anymore but rather a bitter chocolate on top. Enough of thinking of how she's going to feel about everything. She clearly doesn't take your feelings into consideration before acting. Man up bruh else you'll lose your wife. You have to tame her. Plus, you'll be using my other car so no one can trace your movements."

I digested everything Steven had said in a long silence.
"Alright man, but I'm going to have a daily update on her movements. I just want to be sure she's okay in my absence."
"Accepted. Anything else?" He asked.
"Yes, I want a one on one meeting with Jeffrey so I'll know how to play my cards." I stated with a new zeal in my voice.
"Alright man but let's get out of here first." Steven said and sped off to his house at the outskirt of Accra.
