CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO Walking along the road and filled with the sensation of the disappointment that he had faced, Rowen bent his face and dragged his feet through the lonely road. It was almost nightfall and the weakness that invaded his bones made him yawn with so much eagerness to sleep. “I can’t go back to Sandra, that would be a no no for me.” Rowen said and sighed releasing some tension that had been building up in his body. All through his marriage to Sandra, he had been living with her, helping her build up her family business because he loved her. He was very much aware that going back to her house would mean another chapter of humiliation and this he didn’t want. “She really shouldn’t have shown up. She has ruined everything!” He groaned with a heightened breath. “Where do I sleep tonight? The darkness already hovers over the earth.” He thought to himself, then he stopped right in the middle of the road and sighed with his left hand on his waist and his right hand holding

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR “What an unruly fellow.” Rowen said with a frown on his face as he watched the yellow car zoom off into the road until it fazed into the darkness. “I really have to get something to eat. He is right after all.” He said to himself, then he sighed and turned around to face the entrance of the hotel, after he had adjusted his cloths as they were rumpled from the right grip of the taxi driver. “What a beauty!” He exclaimed with a smile that erased the memories of the past event almost immediately. With a heavy sigh of relief, Rowen took one bold step after another and walked right towards the entrance of the hotel. As he pushed glass doors of the hotel framed with golden borders, he was met with the large hall of the hotel with an exquisite décor. The interior was more amazing than the wonders he thought he saw outside.“Wow!” He exclaimed as he saw the exquisite chandeliers shining brightly and even sending glittery sparkles to to the fine marble on the floor. At

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX “What? What is the matter?” Rowen asked the moment he noticed the countenance on her face but for a few seconds she refused to say any words to him. She glued her eyes on the screen of the computer still holding on to the card and refused to even look up to Richard. “Excuse me! Hello.” He called out to her again but still there was no response from the receptionist who appeared to have been pissed off from the way she was breathing. “Please can…” “Take this rubbish card and get out of here with your filthy self!” She finally yelled at him, as she stoned the card on his body making it bounce on his chest before it fell to the ground. Rowen was taken aback, for a few seconds he couldn’t find the right words to say to her and this made him mumble some words which he himself couldn’t really understand. Slowly he bent down and picked the card which was not too far away from him. He looked at it, turning it over and over again to be sure that there was nothing wro

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT The attention of everyone in the area moved away from the reception area and quickly moved towards a tall lady walking in with two scary guards on her two sides. At that moment, everyone especially the guard who wanted to hijack Rowen and throw him out of the building was at attention. “What the hell is she doing here?” Rowen said silently the moment he saw Scarlet walking in with the two bodyguards beside her. With a smile on her face and with her steps increasing gradually, Scarlet walked up to Rowen and hugged him to the astonishment of everyone especially Rita. At that moment, the two bodyguards that came with Scarlet had already pushed the guard trying to kick Rowen off the building, they pushed him away to the side making him to stagger and almost fall to the ground. Ella gasped in shock when she saw this. “Who could she be? What really would she be doing with poor Richie?” Rita said to herself not sure if she was dreaming or awake. “Hello dear, sorry

CHAPTER FORTY Scarlet continued to drag Rowen gently through the hallway silently as he held on to his tacky bag firmly with the two guards matching behind them, he wanted to speak so many times but the presence of the bodyguards didn’t let him. He didn’t want to embarrass Scarlet right before them so he waited for the right time. With Scarlet still holding on to his hands, they walked towards the elevator and one of the guards rushed to open the door before they got it and went up the last floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Scarlet continued walking confidently towards the end of the hallway by their right. “How does she know this place so we!!?” Rowen said to himself still trying to keep his hands in that position as Scarlet held on to it. They soon got to the end of the hallway and Scarlet took out the key card which she swiped on the door before her. It unlocked and she entered still holding on to Richard’s hand while the guards waited outside the door after one
