????STELLA????
I turned around again before the mirror and smiled. I look perfect this evening!

I was definitely ready for the dinner with Jeremy. He’s not home yet and he’s taking too long since he promised to be back early.

I took my purse and walked out of the room. I sauntered downstairs with my dress glittering.

I had almost gotten to the living room when I bumped into Jeremy.
He looked weak and tired. His breath was rough and his eyes dimmed.

“Jeremy! What kept you so long?” I asked and he sighed looking a bit angry.

His eyes darted to my dress and he took his time to check me out.
He half-smiled and held my hands.

“You look great babe…But I don’t think we can do this tonight. Am tired and I just want to be alone for a while. I hope you understand?” He stated and I stared at him obviously nervous and shocked.

“You’re canceling our date?” I asked despondently.

“Am really sorry” He breathed out and pecked me on my cheek before walking past me. I turned watching him walk up the stairs tiredly.

I sighed.

And I had so much hopes of enjoying the night with my husband.

I went over to one of the couch and sat on it. My eyes drifted to the wall clock at the end of the room and it went by slowly.
I was starting to grow bored just staring at it.

I slumped back on the couch thinking about Jeremy.

Why can’t he always be there when I need him???

The loud sound of the doorbell woke me from my thoughts and I threw my face at it.

I hope it’s not Jeremy’s annoying friends.

I dragged myself up and moved to the door.

I twisted the door knob and pulled it open.

Standing before me was a mail man and I presume this was literally the first time am seeing on before my door.

He looked…old for this job though.

“Good evening ma’am, Am Agent Jones. Am looking for Mr Jeremy Sanchez. I have a very important message for him” He stated and I arched mt brows.

“Am Stella Sanchez, his wife. May I know what’s going on?” I asked and he nodded bringing out some papers.

“Actually, it’s about the business trip that will hold in three days. We lost his email informations and phone number in a fire at our building.

“We decided to bring him his traveling details home. Can you please let him see this? He needs to be aware of the new date that has been fixed. The meeting will no longer hold next two weeks – it’s in three days” He enthused sounding very serious.

I took the papers from him still baffled with the whole traveling stuff.

Jeremy never told me he would be going on a trip soon. Why would he keep such a thing from me?

“Alright sir, I’ll…let him know” I said reassuringly.

He smiled.

“Thank you ma’am. Should I call him incase you forget?” He asked and I shook my head.

“No. I’ll tell him. He’ll surely be at the airport that day” I replied and he thanked me before leaving.

I walked back into the house and moved to a room downstairs. I hid the documents somewhere.

Jeremy can’t just leave me and travel to some stupid meeting.

I left the room and went upstairs. I met him on the bed sleeping.

Oh!

He must be really tired. I walked over to the wardrobe and removed my dress and heels. I took time removing the jewelries as well.

I reached for a simple dress which would be comfortable for sleeping and wore. I went to the bed and laid beside Jeremy.
I pulled the duvet up to my chest and moved to him.

I felt his warmth as we both cuddled together.

“Babe?” He called weakly with his eyes closed.

“Yes…” I replied and he squinted his eyes with his eyes on me.

“Did Tristan happen to rape you or harass you sexually in anyway?” He asked and I stared at him dumbfounded.

What?

“No. I can’t remember him doing anything to me. He never touched me though. He only gave orders and walked out of the room” I replied and he pulled me closer.

He kissed me before rolling to his side and sleeping off.

How can I let my husband go on a meeting when he should be beside me every night?

I won’t let him go – never!

I’ll hide those papers where he’d never find them.

????TERESA????
I paced around the room with my cellphone glued to my ear.

This wretched maid should pick up the phone already!

I heard her tiny voice and I sighed.

Finally!

“What the took you so long?! I haven’t got all night!” I rasped.

“Am sorry I was doing the laundry” she replied and I frowned even more.

“By this time of the night???…anyways, never mind. I have an important assignment for you.

“I want you to find out if Stella is pregnant or not. I don’t trust what my son and the doctor keeps telling me. They might be keeping the truth from me. Do this and I’ll reward you greatly” I said eagerly.

“Alright ma’am. How do I do it?” She asked and I grinned.

Perfect response.
