Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Bianca tossed all night still thinking about Kate's slumber. She suddenly recalled the hormone pills she switched, was it a side effect? Just how many doses does she take as contraceptives? She needed to switch it to something ordinary unless she might not be lucky next time.
So she woke up early in the morning before anyone else to purchase similar pills. She knew Kate never stays in the house but was surprised when she returned to see her and Alvin in the garden growing flowers or were its beds?
Nevertheless, it was an opportunity to plant the pills there and that was exactly what she did. She was tempted to count the missing ones and gasped no wonder she had side effects. She tiptoed to leave then heard footsteps coming her way, she cussed herself hiding behind the wardrobe.
Alvin entered the room seconds later talking about his trip or something similar. She didn't care. She was suffocating behind the wardrobe.
" Wanna go on a date? Alvin asked cupping her cheeks. For reasons, Kate thought she was hallucinating. When was he ever nice perhaps her asthmatic attack scared the shit out of him. She wondered if she meant that much to him.
" Fine by me" she stated biting her lips lowering her head. He scoffed holding her chin up
" You still mad about something? Should I apologize? He said politely closing the space between them. Her heart hammered on her chest thinking he was himself again.
" What's this Alvin? I thought you love been domineering. You love taunting me. Please don't play with my heart. If you're pretending you better stop. I'm used to your dominating character. " She tells him without breaking contact with him testing waters but he squints his eyes giving her a chaste kiss
" You were the one that asked to rekindle our love. That's what I'm doing. Either way, I find you appalling. You amaze me Kate" he tells her moving her slowly to the bed
" You don't hate me anymore? Just like that? Just because I almost died? I've had an attack severally in your presence the worst been our honeymoon. I was in a coma for two weeks and you never showed up after going on a lovey dovey on me. Deflowering me and all. Well, I don't believe you. You just want something from me and will return to your cruel self after achieving it " she states the fact pissed at him for trying to deceive her again. She wasn't twenty-five anymore. Unlike most people, she learns from her past. Hell, she wasn't going to be his pawn all over again.
She pushed him back getting her personal space back which seemed to arouse his anger but he masked it dragging her to himself so that she bumped on his chest
" That was a long speech. Interesting. I believe you've had a taste of your own medicine by playing me for a fool. Here's the catch I'm not a fool. No matter how sexy and pretty you are, you can't control me instead I'm going to make your life miserable but it all depends on you. Will you be submissive or will you push me to the edge" he said plainly without emotions pushing her to the bed
Bianca gasped covering her mouth wondering if Alvin was that ruthless. She knew how cruel it was to force yourself on someone. She listened to Kate's replies.
" That's more like you. Taking everything by force. I rather have the real you than the Pokerface you displayed earlier. It disgusts me. Am I that stupid to you? She snapped at him lying down while raising her head to meet his smirking eyes eye-fucking her
" Shut up and open your legs. I just want your body. That's the only thing you can offer and I plan to take a certain amount of it. it's all mine. Forgive me for sulking for two years. I thought you were a rare diamond it turns out you were just playing me to make me fall for you. I admit you're good Kate Patterson but I'm a pro. Gold digging business isn't a good idea. " He whispered removing her clothes caressing her thighs
" It was such a pity I married you before I found proof. I've been spending those two years thinking of ways to make you pay and don't worry your family is out of the picture. I know you did it for them. So wifey gets ready" he spoke as Kate froze wondering what he was talking about.
When did she play him? He aided her mom without her permission hell she fell in love with him for the act of selflessness. Maybe she lied about being asthmatic. She had a reason. He transferred her to his city, he invaded her life. She was the victim when did she turn out to be the culprit. Then it all made sense, he changed after their honeymoon trip despite losing her virginity to him. He changed after the attack. He abandoned her at the hospital and didn't show up till she was discharged.
No wonder he used it as a password to a secret vault. That was the day everything went wrong. His love for her turned three sixty degrees. He changed to a cruel man.
But what went wrong? What did he find? She didn't have skeletons in her cupboards. Nothing to hide yet it baffled her.
