His Favorite Mistress

"We can’t work with that cloth, that’s just it,” Bella said throwing away the cloth Emily just picked from her wardrobe, she jumped up from the bed and walked to the wardrobe to see what they could wear to the party.Today was Emily’s birthday party and Bella had offered to celebrate it for her, she had invited her over to her hostel to select any clothes of her choice from her wardrobe but Emily was being cautious of what she was selecting.Emily didn’t come from a wealthy family, her father was a well-known debtor and her mother and sister lived the fake life with the money their father was able to win from his gambling.Emily was the total opposite, she didn’t know how to pretend not to be what she wasn’t, she worked hard to put food on the table and even get herself into school. God being so faithful she was already in her final years.Bella on the other hand came from a very wealthy family, but she hardly talked about them so Emily couldn’t say much about her Bella’s family. Ther

“Alright, thank you so much.” Emily appreciated it, she knocked on the door three times and waited till she heard Mark’s voice for her to come in. On getting in she saw he was discussing with someone.“Emily, I thought I gave you today as your…”“I am actually here to see you,” out of shame she could have waited outside till he was done, but every second her mother seemed to be calling her phone, she just had to get the money and go and give it to her on time.Mark stared at her and got the memo, he didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable.“Oh right, I remember, let me have my secretary work on it. Wait for me outside okay?”“Thank you,” Emily bowed. She looked at the man Mark was talking to and realized that the person was the same person that come here to see Bella earlier. Did he work here? She nodded at him and walked out.“Does she work here?” Leonard finally spoke when Emily had left."Yes Sir,” Mark replied.“What does she do?”“She sketches, you know most designers here can’t dr

~ RESTAURANT~Leonard got a call from Bella, and she requested to see him urgently. he agreed after she wouldn't stop calling him, he knew what the conversation would be about but he had to expect to have her bimbo friend approaching him in his restaurant."You!" Leonard didn't know what Bella was up to but he wasn't pleased. she was going home once he was done with her.he signaled his guards who were lurking around to be at ease as Emily approached him but Emily didn't take note. Emily didn't want to do this but she kept reminding herself that it was for Bella and her happiness."Good day, may I sit down?" there was something about the way he looked at her, she didn't like it, she feared it."Sit.""I am here on behalf of Bella,"Emily said going straight to the point as she took her seat opposite Leonard."About what?""Being her cousin you should understand how she can be."Cousin! Well, he guessed Bella was doing a good job keeping his identity a secret."How can she be?""She is

"I will pay you Sir....i...will...I promise...please I need....I need time...I beg." the man stuttered without control."When?" Leonard asked even thou he knew it wasn't going to be possible. He always had his client's daily activities reported to him and this man sitting before him was one of the most foolish of all of them.He gambled the money he had or spent it on women. Leonard didn't understand how someone could borrow money to do such useless things. He knew the man had a family, a wife and two daughters but Leonard never bothered with the details."Soon," the man struggled to speak as sweat formed on his forehead."Mr. Riverstone, we both know that is not possible.""I...I..." The man struggled to think straight, he was in so much pain from the way the men had rough-handled him. He wasn't sure he would make it if they shot him."You can have one of my daughters until I can pay you back." the man finally concluded."Why will I want to agree to something as stupid as....""My da

She watched him dive into the water and swim to the end swiftly and then back as he stepped out slowly.The maid close by rushed to him and handed his towel to him, as he wiped his face. When he placed the towel on his body, he looked up and caught Emily's eye."That's my cousin, Cam," Bella said stepping into the balcony as the driver left to tell the maid to come and arrange the clothes in place.Bella waved at him as he nods his head in response to her but his eyes do not leave Emily, he cleaned off his body still staring at her then walked out of the swimming section as the maid followed ehind him."Does he stay here?" Emily asked staring in the direction he had just gone through."Sometimes," Bella replied. Emily walked back inside the room, she lay on the bed as her phone vibrated in her pocket.It was her sister.She sat up and picked up the call, it was unusual for her sister to call her they mostly chat."Where the hell are you? Mum just called me that Dad is in the hospital.
