Chapter 45 – Trouble at the door
Monica POV
I placed Macy on the couch in the living room as I played with her while she giggled. Looking at the time, Nicholas ought to have finished his meeting in the office by now and I looked forward to seeing him.
“Ma’am please you can’t just barge in like that” I heard a sharp voice yelling at someone and curiosity made me walk outside to find out what was going on. I placed Macy in my arms as I walked outside and I was stunned to see Fiona standing in front of my house dressed in a very tight top and leather pants.
“Fiona” I called out as she ran to where I was.
“Please Monica I need your help” she begged her black heels in her hand.
“My help? What going on Fiona? You look restless and where are you coming from dressed like this so early in the morning” I asked, in a state of shock and curiosity.
“Please I’ll explain later but I need your help with something” I looked at her eyes and I could see visible fear in her eyes.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay. What do you need from me” I asked, deciding within me to help her. Fiona wore a knee-length gown I gave to her as she played with Macy who giggled happily, holding Fiona’s red hair in a fist.
“You still haven’t told me why you rushed to my house this morning looking like a hot college student who just came back from a party,” I said, opening the conversation so she could explain herself
“I spent a night with my random guy and we had sex. I was on my way home when Isabella my maid told me that Greg was already home and he was asking after me. I simply told her to tell him I was at your place and right now, I expect him to come here and look for me” she said, averting her gaze and avoiding my eyes.
“You did what? Fiona, you’re married. How could you have a one-night stand with a stranger” I asked, scolding her.
“It wasn’t my fault Monica. I was horny and I haven’t had sex in a long time. I couldn’t hold myself anymore and I just did what my body wanted ” she said, tears gathering in her eyes “I’m sorry to say this but you don’t know what it’s like to be horny, and yet, your husband doesn’t even look at you lustfully. I was dying inside Monica and I had to do it” she said, her voice trembling and I engulfed her in a comforting embrace.
“I’m sorry for the way I spoke. I’m sorry for scolding you.” I apologized as I pat her back and comforted her.
“Where is she?” The loud barking from the outside the door made Fiona begin to tremble in my arms.
“It’s him, Monica. It’s Greg” she said as fear flashed through her eyes.
The door burst open and Greg walked into the living room, walking straight to where she was “Where have you been?” Greg’s sharp gaze made Fiona shake and I instantly took Macy out of her hand.
Fiona rose to her feet “I was with Monica. I slept over and we_”
“Liar” Greg’s voice thundered in the living room as his hands came in contact with her cheeks in a hot resounding slap. The slap interrupted her from speaking as tears spilled out of her eyes.
“I ask again, where were you last night” he said, his voice cold and distant.
I instantly gave Macy to Aunt Patricia who came out of the kitchen because of the loud condition of the living room. She took Macy from me and went upstairs instantly.
I rushed to stand in front of Fiona who was shaking like someone who had just been poured a bucket of ice water “What right do you have to slap her? You barge into my house and start screaming like a dog” I said, glaring at him as he stared at me in anger
“I’d advise you to stay out of this. This is between me and my wife” he said as he tried to push me away but I held Fiona’s hand and went to the other corner of the living room.
” I won’t watch you hurt her again,” I said, staring daggers at Greg who looked like a monster
“Then I might as well just hurt you. It won’t be hard to deal with two weak vessels at once” he said as he started walking towards us and fear gripped me.
“Please Monica, I don’t want to involve you in any of these. Just let him do what he wants with me”, Fiona begged, her voice laced with nothing but pain and fear.
“Never,” I said and Greg soon got to where we were and pushed me aside as he dragged Fiona by her hair.
I watched as Fiona yelled in pain, holding Greg’s hands and trying to remove his hold on her hair “Let her go” I said as I took a flower vase from the corner of the room and used it to hit Greg’s head.
He groaned in pain and fell on the floor. I took hold of Fiona’s hand again and stood in front of her as we watched Greg slowly stand up. He turned around, his gaze fierce and his hands clenched in fists.
“You leave me no choice,” he said as he walked towards us again and panic seized me as I didn’t know what to do. Closing my eyes, I braced myself for what was coming.
“Let them go asshole” I heard Anthony’s voice and I instantly opened my eyes to see him punching Greg hard in his face “You’re a useless and worthless husband”
Anthony stood up took out his phone and started recording “I’m going to show the whole world who you are. Sterling group managing director was seen attacking his wife and and his brother’s wife. I think that will make a good headline”, Anthony said as he recorded with his phone.
“I’ll teach you a lesson” Greg spat angrily, pointing his index finger at Fiona.
“The next time you touch her, I’ll show the world the real monster that you’re with this video” Greg gritted his teeth as his lips cracked open, oozing blood because of Anthony’s punch.
Glancing at us one last time, he walked out of the living room, leaping on one foot.
“Hey, are you okay?” I asked Fiona but Anthony rushed to where we were and gently pushed me aside.
“Are you hurt? Should we take you to the hospital? Do you feel pain anywhere” I was stunned to see Anthony concerned about Fiona this much.
“Do you two know each other?” I asked in curiosity and Fiona stepped away from him instantly.
“He is the guy I had sex with,” Fiona said
“She is my ex-girlfriend,” Anthony said.
I stood frozen as I looked at them both in shock “What!” I exclaimed in shock staring at both of them in disbelief.
