CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
In and out
In and out
In and out
I watch as Kylian inhale and exhale peacefully on the bed. This is my first time watching him sleep, every other time he stayed over, I was always too exhausted to open my eyes after sex to watch him sleep
He looked peaceful…. I hope he feels peaceful though. As much as I would love to be with him through his recovery, if I am only here because I am just a good fuck to him, I better take my leave tomorrow
I wonder who is coming tomorrow to handle my soon- to- be ex husband
Maria, Isa and Alice stepped off the elevator to my surprise as I walked towards it.
Are they the ones come coming to handle Kylian?
There was no way I could have thought that they were the ones coming
“When Fazya told me that someone was coming, I didn’t know it was you people” I opened my mouth with a subtle bit of happiness that perhaps I might get to stay with Kylian after all. I know Fazya does not want me here but with Maria and Alice here, maybe I can get them to let me stay
“We are not the…..”
My focus was diverted from her when another person stepped off the elevator and I saw Frances. I looked at Maria and a glaring Alice in confusion
“We are not the ones they sent, it is Frances” she concluded her earlier statement
Frances!
Seriously, they sent Frances, what sort of relationship even exist between Kylian and Frances that she is the one they sent to handle my husband. Why can she handle my husband and I can’t?
“Hello Bewaji” Frances greeted me.
As much as I hate the situation, I still managed to smile to her
“Hey Frances” I said forcefully
“We were told you might be coming home, so we wanted to use the opportunity to say hi to Kylian” Maria explained with a smile
“I am sorry for tattling to Kylian about your parent during the festive period” Frances apologised for her slip up
“It is fine, it was a honest mistake”
“I was told to collect the key card to this place from you” Frances muttered. I am pretty sure it was Melissa that told her that. Probably to prevent me from coming back.
Even if it is for this wicked family, I would gladly divorce Kylian. Thankfully, key card was still in my hand as I just used it to let them into the penthouse, so I handed it to her and she dropped it into her purse
“Please, where can I drop this?” Isa grunted as she struggled with the luggage I didn’t know she was carrying.
“What are this?”
“Kylian’s stuff and basic necessities” Maria clarified. That means Kylian is going to be here for a while
“Come on, I will show you” I instructed Isa. Out of the three luggages that were brought in, Isa and her mother carried two and followed me into the kitchen. On my way out, Alice was waiting for me in a corner, glaring so bitterly
“I really don’t have time for this” I spit out in annoyance
“Did you not hear when Kylian told me not to call anyone?”
“Was I just supposed to let his family worry over him?”
“And what did you get in reward for caring about their feelings when they have never cared about yours” she ranted bitterly. She is right though, I am been dragged out because I cared about their feeling.
Stupid me!
“You were always shouting that Kylian does not show you attention and now, that you were given the opportunity to get his attention, you squandered it”
“If I am going to here as his fuck buddy, it is best I leave”
“You are his fucking wife, of course you are his fuck buddy” she yelled at my face, splatting saliva in my face
“Enough!” I shouted in annoyance as I cleaned her bodily fluid off my face “We are getting a divorce anyway, it does not matter” I added as I left her. I ignored her as she called out for me.
I walked to my room to say my final goodbye to him. I saw the door adjunct when I got here and from the little space between the door and the wall, I could see France standing in front of the bed looking pissed.
I let out a loud sigh, she already started working already
“She is not going to pick” Frances stated in French
I adjusted my head to see Kylian pacing with his phone to his ear
“You just had to bring me here” She grunted bitterly
“I didn’t want you here, I didn’t want anybody here” he retorted sharply as he kept trying to call someone if I would assume to be his mother
“But you want her here, what is so good about her vagina that is making you throw all caution to the air”
“Nobody is throwing caution to the air, I just need some peace and quiet to get my thoughts together and figure out a way out of this mess”
“Hiding here is not the solution, Champions league quarter final is in three days, if you win that match they will all forget about Euros”
Kylian gave her no response and this only pissed Frances more. I thought handling him means been gentle, why is she going so hard on him? I must say from the way they are arguing they are more than just friends.
“We had a plan Kylian, you are suppose to move to Madrid with a perfect record, you already lost Euro, are you going to let champions league go too because of some whining raggedly-ass local village girl”
“Excuse me!” I blurted out unconsciously giving myself up. I am going to assume that that whining raggedly ass local village girl was me. They both turn to me
“You eavesdropping on a private conversation now” Frances scoffed. The woman I spent months befriending is definitely not the one standing in front of me right now. This one is a stranger and definitely not my friend
Was Alice right all along?
Was Frances not a friend to me?
“You mean a private conversation with my husband”
Alice burst into laughter and I knew she was mocking me
“Your husband?” she let out another bout of loud laughter.
How did I get this wrong? How did I think that this woman was my friend? Was I that desperate that I couldn’t separate a foe from a friend?
“Enough France” Kylian cautioned
“No… She thinks because she is your wife, she has some kind of authority. Who does she think she is”
“No, who the fuck do you think you are?” I countered back
“Oh! I am scared” she feigned fear “I don’t have time for this, pack your bag and go”
“No, get out” I retorted
“Excuse me”
“I said get the fuck out” I hollered and moved closer to her. I took her hand as she looked at me in confusion and I started to pull her towards the door.
“The hell are you doing” she struggled with me but I didn’t let go “Kylian, Kylian” she called out to him and from the fact that nobody is stopping me, I am going to conclude that he is ignoring her. I opened the door, throw her out and bang the door in her face before she had the chance to come back in. She tried to open the door but to no avail because I locked the moment I closed the door, then she started banging incessantly
“Melissa!” my attention was called back to Kylian as he barked into the phone in French finally getting through to someone “Ask mother if I need to leave France before she backs off” Then he cuts the call
“You!” he turned his attention to me “For the first time, I gave you a simple instruction and you disobeyed me”
“I will fix this, I promise” I let out unconsciously. I turned to the door
How the fuck am I going to fix this?
I opened the door and went out. Frances was no longer at the door. Maybe she gave up.
I stood still and waited for the silence I had since I got back from Nigeria and have come to love but it is was not here anymore because I was foolish enough to let it go.
But I want it back and I am taking it back.
So, I walked to the living room where France was talking to Maria who glared at me the moment she saw me
“Bewaji, what are you doing?” she asked me
“I want everybody out”
“What you can’t do that” The elderly woman argued with me strongly “Fazya asked her to be here, you can’t throw her out. You are not allowed to do this”
I ignored her and Alice came in at that moment with Isa.
“What is going on?” Alice asked and I didn’t give her a response when I picked up the land phone.
“Excuse me please” I spoke in French into the phone “I have some intruders in the penthouse, kindly send security to get them out”
“Frances, call Fazya and let her know the situation” Maria tried to scare me or perhaps trying to salvage the situation
“We should go” Alice implored them
“No, we can’t…”
“Do you want the whole world to know this is where Kylian is because that is what is going to happen when those men get here and I am sure you know how dangerous that can be” Alice tried to get them to leave
“But we…”
“The issue can be resolved after we leave here but right now, we need to get out before security gets here” She concluded
Buying into her point, they turned to leave
“France!” I called out
“What?” she yelped at me bitterly
Alice was right, this woman is definitely no friend to me. I walked towards her and forcefully removed her purse from her hold.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Frances tried to collect the purse from me but I evaded her and Alice held her still for me while I search through her purse. I brought out the key card I gave her earlier and fling her purse to her
I cocked my head to the side and smirked
“Now, you can go”
Alice’s smiling to me was the last view I saw as the elevator closed
