Chapter 14

We don't talk about yesterday, we prepare and head for the airport, we board the jet and make our way to New York, I sleep off during the whole flight.

Christine taps me when we reach the airport, at john. F. Kenedy's international Airport a fleet of cars waited out side to take us home, I had arranged the security detail for when we get back to help us phase through the hoard of reporters who would want a scoop of how our vacation went.

We entered the car and drove to our new home which I had secured before leaving for the vacation, I hired 'Ella's decor' a celebrity interior designer to fix the dental of the mansion before we arrived.

I had not spoken a word since to Christine and Arnold, they both seem to not care, they kept talking about the vacation in the car, I wondered if they remembered anything, I seem to I only remember how I felt riding Arnold, it all feels like a dream, one which I want to erase, I could see myself how happy I was ontop oof him, I could her my own voice in my head, "you are mine", these words stuck hard and I knew I wasn't dreaming.

The driver pulls into the driven in area and I pick my phone avoiding Christine and Arnold I call freddy, and ask him to come.

We arrive at the mansion, while the two of them were happy checking out all the rooms, I had gone up to the balcony and there I stood dragging air from the clouds, I sighed afterwards.

I see a car pull in, a convertible, freddy had got himself a convertible, he waved from the car and when he dropped, he rushed into the house, and soon he was up with me.

NICE car I said when I felt his presence behind me.

Thanks he replied.

So tell me did you make any progress?

Yes, I was able to convince the guy who had...

Just tell me it's gone! I asked him.

Yes it's all gone, I had to pay him a lot of money to make it dissappear, you owe me a lot of money.

How much is a lot of money Freddy?

Hmmmm, five million dollars.

Okay I will have it sent to you, make sure I don't hear anything more about this issue.

Yes boss, he said.

I turned to look at him

And he quickly said yes mrs shaw",and winked.

I don't say much, I walk back into the house with a heavy rock lifted of my chest, I had to be certain so I switched on the television.

I see pictures of us in Mauritius on the television, I see Arnold dancing with that woman in the club, I hear the reporter talk about Christine following us on the trip, she talks about how my marriage with Arnold and calls it a contract marriage which had only happened to cover the fact that I was a lesbian.

She talks about my relationship with Christine and the fact that I and her has been lover since high school.

I call my media manager monalisa, I ask her if she was seeing this and she quickly assured me she would fix it, I turned the television off and freddy who had been in the living room with me sits quietly, I don't hear a word from him,

Arnold and Christine come back out both smelling like sex.

What is wrong Arnold asks,i don't answer him I just walk past the two of them and Christine follows me.

Entering one of the rooms I ask her without minding the other two hearing my voice.

Are you two a thing now?

It seems you like him more than you like me, your brother has been trying to ruin me and all you do is sleep with my husband!!

Your husband?

I thought you did not like him and I was the one you loved Christine said.

Yes but you keep going after him what am I to do?

You are driving me crazy you know that!

You knew I was bi when this while thing started and you accepted me that way,wait what did Archer do?

She asked lost.

I Google it and show her the news, it's trending she says.

Yes it is,

Call Mona then, sge can fix it, yes I just did.

But I font think it is going to push the heat away from us, you could stay away for a while you know, until it all quiets down.

Are you kicking me out?

Is it because of Arnold?

I knew you were falling for him, I knew it Christine lamented.

She walks out and I follow after her, wait Christine I call after her but she leaves.

Arnold rushes after her and they rush back into the house, there is a wave of reporters outside ".

I call my security detail and tell them to clear the compound.

They try, but the stubborn reporters stayed at the gate,like wolves waiting for a reason to take a picture or a story to create more controversies.

Freddy stays with Arnold in the living room while I go in search for Christine who had gone to one of the rooms, I don't know which.

I hear her on the phone, but I can't understand what she is saying, I wait for her to hang up before banging on the door, please open up Christine," I am sorry I tell her ".

It's not something I normally say so she opens the door, she knows it's hard for me to apologize but here we are.

Thank you love I say, as I hug her, I am sorry about earlier, I wasn't trying to push you out I said.

Yes I understand it's totally fine she replied sniffing, I pull her into another embrace and shut my eyes, I sigh and tell her I love her, she says I love you too, I love you more than life and we both laugh.
