Darlene has no other choice.

“What’s that honey?” Cullian asked.

“Uh–Uhmm, it’s from Tamara, the kids help as a gift,” I lied.

“Why would she send you an underwear for an anniversary gift?” Cullian lifted a brow.

“It’s what she could afford, don’t blame her…..,” I wasn’t done talking yet when I heard a knock.

I opened the door, Tamara was standing by the door.

“Good day ma’am,” she greeted me, then she shifted her gaze to Cullian who was standing beside me.

“Good day Sir,” Cullian nodded.

“Why do you always show up late, you know we could replace you if we want,” I said, trying to bring a different whole new topic, so that Cullian wouldn’t ask her about the gift, but something happened.

“I’m so sorry ma, I had to stop by the gift shop, I couldn’t show up without a gift.” Shit! I cursed underneath my breath.

“But you already got her one, why the need?” Cullian folded both his

arms.

“Yes she did, but I guess she felt this was inappropriate, right?” I winked at Tamara trying to cover up. She nodded even if there was a confused expression on her face.

“Oh yes sir, your wife is right, getting her an underwear is so ridiculous, sorry about that,” Cullian unfolded his arm.

“Well, Honey, we better get ready for our flight, I’ll be upstairs In my office, I have some things to take care of first,” he walked out.

“What was that madam?” Tamara frowned.

said to her.

“What part ma?“Tamara asked.

“Tamara, quit being inquisitive, Enough questions, you can get to work now,” I was about to walk out when she called me back.

“Ma, this is your gift,” she gave me a warm smile.

“Happy anniversary,” she said.

“Thanks,” I returned the smile as I took the wrapped box from her.

“Ma, there is something I want to tell you,” she stopped me once again from leaving.

“What’s that?“

“There’s a man who stopped this morning, and began to question me about you, and the kids and your husband, he literally asked me everything about you,” the more Tamara spoke, the more I became

more tense.

“Did you tell him,” I cutted in.

“No I told him I don’t know anything, but,”

“But what?” I questioned.

“He pointed a gun to my head, threatening to blow my brains out,” she paused, her head facing downwards because she could barely meet my eyes. My eyes were already burning with rage and anger.

“Then?” I asked, making her continue.

“I told him what I know, he asked about the kids, and I told him they

were triplet, and they didn’t belong to Mr Cullian,” Tamara mumbled.

“Shit! What did he say his name was?” I asked.

“Uhm–oh yes, Conri, his name was Conri,”

about Tamara, of course i wouldn’t blame Tamara, she was at gunpoint and any other person would have done what she did, obviously she was scared for her life.

I was contemplating on what to do when something made me look up and I could see Cullian listening to our Conversation upstairs. From his facial expression, I could tell he was terrified.

CULLIAN.

I went over to my room, but I figured I left my phone in the living room, heading back downstairs I could hear My wife, Darlene and our help, Tamara having a weird conversation, weird because they both looked and sounded intense. I decided to stay back and hear the rest of the . conversation, but hearing the conversation, I too began to feel intense.

“I told him what I know, he asked about the kids, and I told him they were triplets, and they didn’t belong to Mr Cullian,” I heard Tamara say, who was she talking about.

“Shit, what did he say his name was?” I heard my wife ask. What was really going on, I couldn’t come to think of her cheating on me, No! Darlene could never, it could kill me. What then was Darlene hiding from

me?

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard something that brought me back to reality.

“Uhm–oh yes, Conri, his name was Conri.

Wait what?!
