CASSEY POV.


    As the phone rang, Karl pushed me away and picked the phone. I observed him speak to ire with such tenderness. “Did he still love her? I wondered as I waited there waiting for him to end the call.


    ” You don’t mean what you just said, do you?” I asked Karl as I faced him after the call ended. “You yelled at me because of that low- life and pushed me away to answer that bitch. How dare you Karl?” I questioned, yelling on top of my voice.


    ” What is the matter with you?” Karl asked me turning to face me as he dropped his phone. At first, I was surprised with his response, I did not expect him to talk back at me almost immediately.


    I stared at him with a confused expression on my face.” Matter with me?” I asked him, walking closely to where he was. I face him and touched his shoulder with my finger pushing him away, he turned his gaze and looked away from me.


    ” You are the matter with me, and you have always been. I just want to be with you, is that too hard to understand?” I questioned, screaming on top of my voice  oas I pushed his shoulder repeatedly as tears welled up my eyes.


    ” Stop all this Cassey, since you returned I have had to deal with your nagging andining.” He replied, Karl seemed tired of myining about him not paying attention to me. ” Was he going to leave me?” I asked myself, ” Nah, I was not going to let Karl leave me.” I muttered as I sat down on the chair in the office crying uncontrobly.


    ” I gave everything for you Karl, everything and now you say this to me.” I replied as  tears rolled down my cheeks. As I cried, I stole a nce at Karl and noticed he was ufortable with my attitude as he walked about restlessly in his office.


    I already  knew he wanted to be with Sophie as he was not ready to divorce her. After my investigations, I had confirmed it but why he was picking ire calls and promising to send more money was what I did not realky understand.


    ” Why was he talking to her like she mattered?” I thought to myself as I continued to cry, I didn’t want ire to return, I already had to deal with Sophie here and did not want any more obstacles to me having Karl to myself. I had hoped Karl woulde pleading and begging me not to cry and probably hug me reassuring me he was going to do better but for the while he just roamed about in the office.


    My mind soon drifted to what had happened moments ago, he had pushed me away to answer her call and now not only did she want money she had also said she wasing back to see her son. ” That would mean she would stay with Karl again and I would not have the opportunity to be with him.” I thought to myself trying to figure out what the implications of having ire back would be.


    Karl jilted me out of my thoughts when he came up to me asking that i forgave him. ” I am sorry, guess I over reacted.” He said seemingly sorry about what he did. I was happy he was begging me and just I was about to ept his apologies, a idea came into my mind.


    I wanted Karl and he hade to apologise like I wanted, but now, I  wanted him to want me more, I figured if I pushed away again he was going toe back and be entirely mine, since then he would value what we share even more.


    ” I want only you Cassey. I love you.” He said as he tried to dry off the tears from my eyes. I pushed his hands away and went on to pick my back. I was going to leverage on this to get what I wanted.


    ” Then send Sophie away and don’t allow ire to return.” I said to him standing away facing him. He walked close to where I was and tried to hold my hands bit I shoved his hands away. ” Let me be, just do what I asked you.” Karl looked at me hesitantly, he seemed reluctant to do what I had asked.


    ” Do you love Sophie too?” I asked and his contenance was nk, I expected a refute of what I said but he did not say anything, he just stared at me as I spoke. It took a awhile before he responded, as though he had to think about the best response to the situation not necessarily telling the truth.


    ” I don’t, it just I can’t stop ire foring to see her child.” He said as he tried to hold me again, “It’s  you I love, why can’t you understand that and be with me.” He replied, with a tinge if frustration in his voice. He seems worked up with the drama but I wanted him to do what was best for us even though it did not seem like it was going to be an easy task.


    ” I can’t do that, I have use for Sophie and ire is the mother of my son.” He responded, I did not expect his response as I stared at him in amazement. ” Karl was a fool.” I muttered as I red at him.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ” You are just gullible and ire knows how best to y on your intelligence.” I packed my stuff’s and headed out. ” Once you are ready to do the needful, you have my number but till then, I cannot have anything to do with you.”


    Karl rushed to meet me and pleaded het again for me to give him a chance but I refused insisting he had to send Sophie and prevent ire from returning too.


    ” Please wait….”.  He said as I shoved his hands away and went out of the office, I saw Max who was about entering and he looked at me for a while before going in.


    I sighed as I noticed Sophie’s still sitted on her desk busy with the day’s work. ” Cheap slut, marrying a man for his money.” I muttered as I walked away. I smirked as I thought about what I had done, Karl was going toe back to me and Sophie and ire would be out of the way.
