Chapter 5
Lisa was at Gareth's mansion the next morning to honor Noemi's invitation. She walked in so innocently.
"Ding Dong!" Jacob was the one to answer the door immediately it gave a sound.
"Hello handsome," Lisa whispered as he opened the door for her to walk in.
"Where is your wife?" she asked him
"She's upstairs and will be down soon."
"Okay, I will just wait for her then." She offered herself a seat.
"Lisa," Jacob called her.
"Yes," she responded.
"We need to talk outside."
"I'm not sure that's going to work," she answered him.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"Because I don't feel like doing that right now."
"You don't have a choice Lisa." Jacob's voice was a little over the polite mark.
"I do have a choice, and I say I won't." Lisa declined.
"Sorry to say, but you'll have to come with me." Jacob pulled Lisa's hand and dragged her outside.
"What on earth is wrong with you?" Lisa complained as Jacob dragged her outside of his house when she came to visit Noemi.
"I should be asking you that question," Jacob said to her. "I thought we agreed to keep your pregnancy a secret." He looked around to confirm Noemi was nowhere near them.
"Is it my fault that your infertile wife found out I was pregnant?" Lisa sighed.
"You said what about my wife?" Jacob asked in anger.
"Do you want to hit me?" Lisa questioned. "Do you want to hit the mother of your heir?"
"Do not ever speak of my wife in such a disrespectful manner." Jacob sounded a warning to her.
"The truth hurts and you know it." Lisa was not going to back down that instant, she still kept running her mouth.
"What are you even doing here?" Jacob queried.
"Me and your special Woman are going shopping for my baby, our baby. Isn't that poetic?" Lisa laughed hilariously, more like a lunatic.
"Shh!" Jacob used his hand to gag her mouth. "What are you trying to do, get me into trouble?"
"How can I put you in trouble because I laughed?" she asked Jacob.
"And what will you tell Noemi that you are discussing with me that made you laugh that way?" Jacob first asked. "Do you want to raise suspicions about us?" He finished.
"I'm sorry baby boy," she attempted to put her hands around his neck but he shoved them aside.
"Ouch! That was painful," she responded to the pain.
Noemi was still taking her shower. She was the one who invited Lisa to come over. Noemi was very much excited that her best friend was to be a mom soon. She wanted to be the godmother of the child, just like she and Noemi had always planned. She was still in the shower when Jacob dragged Lisa out there.
"You are crazy," Jacob told Lisa. "You are making fun of your friend."
"No, I am just describing her as she is - infertile." Lisa laughed. Jacob could do nothing but regret why he made such a mistake.
"You have never been a friend of Noemi," he coughed out his observations.
"I was beginning to think you were dumb. I feared for my kid." Lisa confirmed what Jacob had said, she was never a fan of Noemi.
"I wonder what she did in life to ever deserve someone like you, a backstabber?!" Jacob was harsh in his utterance to Lisa.
"And what did she ever do in life to deserve someone like you, a disloyal and dumb husband who can't even control his sexual urges?" she bashed back at him.
"At least I feel remorseful for what I have done, but you, you enjoy it." Jacob looked at her with eyes full of spite and disgust.
"I told you to leave for another City till you successfully give birth to my child. "
"Where's the fun in that?" Lisa questioned. "I am a pregnant woman and not a prisoner," she said.
"You would have been freer if you moved out of the City till you gave birth," Jacob said to her.
"You can't tell me how to live my life," Lisa spoke angrily to him. "If you can't be man enough for our child, your heir, then I'll DO it for you."
"Our child?" A voice echoed from behind them. It was Noemi who heard what Lisa said.
"Noemi please I can explain this." Jacob reacted immediately, he tried to calm her down. But was she flaying up in any way? No. She kept on asking:
"Our child?" She took a step closer to Lisa whenever she asked this question.
Lisa and Jacob remained Silent.
"Do you mean my husband is the one responsible for your pregnancy?" Noemi asked with tears hanging around the corridors of her eyes. Her voice was almost lost and she was just struggling to speak.
"Speak to me, somebody!" she screamed and let loose the tears hanging in her eyes.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lisa boldly said, with eyes deluded of remorse. Noemi couldn't believe it was Lisa who had the guts to backstab her.
"Why?" she asked Lisa with a broken heart and an extremely reddish face. Her eyes were growing tired of withholding the tears that were a meltdown of her emotions.
"I can explain this to you Noemi" Jacob tried to touch her. She glared at him with a death stare and eyes Blazing with rage.
"How could you?" she turned and asked Jacob. "Is it because you needed an heir that you felt it's right to betray me with my friend?"
"No, I…" Before Jacob could beat anything, Noemi dashed into the house. In no more than fifteen minutes, she came out rolling her luggage.
"I'm leaving," she said firmly to Jacob. She looked at Lisa and her eyes couldn't continue to hold in the saline liquid. It was let out and it greased her cheeks and found its way into her mouth as she struggled to speak.
Will Noemi ever forgive Lisa and Jacob? She walked out without saying any more words, just tears.
