Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Nancy went into the washroom and had her face washed. She changed into a jean and a T shirt. Packed her hair up in a ponytail and with her slippers, she went into the mansion and the children flew into her arms and she led them into the playroom where they played for a very long time.

Playing with the children took Nancy's mind off the problem besieging her. She laughed and laughed at their pranks.

Jason who had been going in to his room for a change of clothes so he could go out was attracted to the sound of her laughter and loved it.

He went to the room and stood by the door watching her play with the children. He imagined the both of them having their own children and playing with them together this way with so much love and abandon.

He was smiling as he watched her. She looked so much younger. She was young but right at that moment, she looked not too older than the children she was playing with. He felt bereft. He was missing out on the fun while they were having all the fun, yet he kept smiling because it made him happy to see Nancy so happy.

Phoebe came up, thinking that Jason had gone into his room. She had wanted to try seducing him again, though she did not know how far he had gone with Nancy at her quarters. She had not had the presence of mind to stand and watch. She had been too jealous and furious.

But she hoped that one of them had stopped the other midway so that she could fan the flame of the unfulfilled desire and make Jason have sex with her. It would be her first triumph.

She felt that she could do it afterall, he had brought in another woman home last night and had shared his bed with the woman.

If he could sleep with that woman,then why not with the one who was apparently pregnant with his child? She would play the victim,she did not think, Jason was as hard hearted as he wanted all to think.

With this in mind, Phoebe climbed the stairs to Jason's room only to find him cosseted by the playroom door.

She needed no one to tell her who he was watching. It was definitely not the children though he loved them like his very own, she was sure he was staring at Nancy with love and longing.

She was so mad, she wanted to stomp I to her room but on second thought, she dragged Jason along with her but that was not before Nancy looked up to find Jason there staring at her with a look that made her feel quenzy inside.

And when he would have spoken, Phoebe had dragged him off possessively, with a triumphant smile at Nancy.

She lost interest in the play a d asked the children to go have a nap.

'The play is okay for today. Go have a nap and we shall continue later'.

'No, we want to play more', they chorused.

'And you will but only if you go have your nap right away', she instructed strictly.

They obeyed her after extracting a pinky promise from her.

She needed a little rest before going out on a stroll. The whole mansion was suffocating her.

She was sleeping when she heard a knock on the door. She was surprised. She had meant to relax for a bit but it would seem that she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep because looking at the wall clock, it showed that she had been asleep for about two hours.

'I'm coming', she said as she went into the wash room to make herself presentable.

She actually thought it was Jason come to get more answers from her and she wanted to look good though she did not know what good it would do seeing that he was not ready to believe her and she was not ready to answer any of his silly questions.

'What is it aga..' she stopped midway as she opened the door and found Phoebe standing there instead of Jason.

'You?'

'Yes, I'.

'What do you want?' Nancy asked.

'What do you suppose you could possibly give me? You should be begging me to give you things you know'.

'I do not need anything from you, Phoebe'.

'Is that right? Yet you try to take my husband from me every single chance you get. You could ask me humbly to give him to you'.

'You are speaking rubbish. What makes you think that I want Jason?'

'You don't? That is surprising since you feel like collapsing in his arms anytime he comes close to you. I am a woman and I know what I see in your eyes. It is love and overwhelming desire'.

'And what makes you think that Jason is yours to give?' Nancy asked.

'Girlfriend, let me cone in. This is not what we have to talk about while standing', Phoebe said as she pushed into the house without waiting to be invited in.

'We are not supposed to stand for long, you know. We are both pregnant afterall and for different men of course.

You just asked me a question.

I could ask you the same you know. What makes you think that Jason was ever yours and ever will be?

'I never claimed him as mine!'

'No? But your eyes, your heart and indeed your body does. Anybody with eyes can see that. But you know, men, especially those men that are like Jason can be blind when it comes to the feelings of women.

Fir how come he came home last night with another woman, when his Nancy was here?

He finished making love with me and I slept because of how great it was.

I woke in the middle of the night to visit the washroom, only to find that he was not on the bed beside me.

I felt that he was bothered and could not sleep and I felt I could get him to sleep by making love to him again. So, I went in search of him but found strange noises coming from the guest room. As I drew closer, the sounds became clearer. It was the sound of a couple having heated sex.

I could not believe it, I had thought that we had a great time last night, if he needed more, was it not for him to ask me or even initiate it? Then it occured to me that he did not ask the girl to come after we had been together but before. The girl could have been inside the test room, out if sight, waiting for the right time and after he had had me,he tip toed into the room where she was to have her as well, afterall, he had satisfied me and I was already asleep and would not know. He would discharge the girl before anyone woke and come back to bed with me as though nothing happened and if he had the strength, if the woman he had been with did not sao all his strength, make love to me again, to keep his secret, secret.

Then in the morning, he would come to you to profess his love and see if he would have you as well.

You see that he thinks of no one but himself? I do not delude myself that he is crazy in love with me and neither should you or any of the other ladies because anyone who does is headed for a destructive heartbreak'.

'Why ate you telling me all these?'

'Well because we women should look out for each other especially if there is a man taking us and our feelings for granted'.

'But you do not even love him, so how does it affect you? You could decide to leave him this instant and no one would stop you if you are really serious about your decision!'

'You want to get rid of me? You think that way, you will have him all to yourself?

Did you see how he was with his ex-wife at the party? What if the sweet little thing he had with him last night and the others, will you do away with them as well, to make him totally yours? And even if you do, do you go everywhere with him to know if he's still going on with his activities?

Just now as you were playing with the children and he stood watching you all, I saw the love and hope in your eyes and I felt pity for you because as I dragged him off, we spent a steamy time together.

I felt that if I cannot get his love, at least apart from his money, I could get sexual gratification from him and not be frustrated by sexual desire when I had someone close who can give me the satisfaction I crave without blinking an eyelid.

But you must have thought that he was thinking about you. Wake up girl and be smart. If having sex with him will get him out of your system, then do it and get it over with so that you do not put your heart on the line. And if you cannot afford to sleep with him without involving your heart like others can,then don't do it and get away before it is too kate'. Phoebe said smiling secretly because she could see that she had really hit the nail on the head.

Jason had not touched her, not last night and definitely not when he had dragged him off this afternoon.

He had been so angry that he had virtually pushed her away and gone to the washroom and afterwards, had left for God knows where. But Nancy did not know all these and who would?

Nancy was also too proud to ask Jason about it and even if she did, she would not believe his answer when he gave it.

She, Phoebe will make sure she destroyed their relationship. Their love story was definitely going to remain incomplete.
