TAKEN fifty one
Stella didn't have a choice this morning, Marcus has gone mute since last night, he wasn't trying to stop her from abortion. She didn't believe that's what he really wanted, but it was all for her own good in some type of way. If Marcus wasn't stopping her, it definitely means he was going to accept her after she got rid of the baby. There was still hope somewhere. She had woken up as early as possible before Marcus woke up, She had dressed and left him a note about her visit to the hospitality. She hoped he reads it on time and stops her.
After talking to the doctor, he had fixed her appointment to the next day and had arranged the nurses that would be in charge of the abortion, she paid a deposit before leaving and when she sat in her car, she checked her phone numerously to see if there was any message from her husband.
None.
Guess, he really wanted it.
As she drives out of the hospital, her insistence to go home struck her with another idea. She steers her wheel as she proceed to where Marcus mum followed her to the previous day.
Marcus has denied everything between them. She needed the two mouthpiece. What if her husband was just playing her and lying to her. She needed to fight for what is hers on time before it finally gets taken away right before her face. Then it kinda struck her again.
She was happily taken by Marcus, blessed with a beautiful ring and home. But she had shared her blissfulness with others. She let Allen take her body, Spencer take her body and Rose take her thinking. She didn't know what was left of her.
No!
Rose was her best friend. Whatever she does was for her own benefit. Good or bad.
She park in front of the fitness center and comes out of the car. She walks into the building and gave a knock when she was at her office. When Jenifer opens the door and her eyes met Stella's, she could sense a lady trouble and she chuckled at the reason Stella was here. But she let her in anyways and closed the door behind her.
"It's so early. Why-"
"I needed to talk to you"Stella cuts in immediately, dropping her bag in her desk..She stared directly into Jenifer's eyes for some time and then kisses her teeth. "You know why I'm here"she said
"No I don't. Give me a brief explanation ma'am"Jenifer said ironically. She wasn't going to give a heads start. She was gonna allow Stella do her thing and she was gonna play wise to avoid any trouble.
"Marcus. Who is he to you?"Stella asked frowning her brows already. She was ready to give it her all in all to find out what was really going on with these two. Marcus wouldn't be cheating on her would he. He loved her too much for all these.
"My fitness student. Your husband. You've been here with him once right"Jenifer answers carefully, she knew where Stella was heading to. She was still hurting from Marcus break up yesterday, so she was not gonna try pick a fight with his wife. She just didn't want her to stepmom boundaries or play with her emotions. Else she was gonna fight for Marcus too like she had always wanted to. If Stella threatens her about leaving Marcus alone, she might get triggered to fight fur him back. So it was better this woman watched her words.
"Yes. I know he learns how to be fit here. That's what he came here for. Except if you have other method of making your students fit."Stella was going to play it the cunning way too.
"What do you mean"Jenifer asked.
"My husband has been here often even when classes are not on. Can you tell me why is that?"
"Why not ask him?" Jenifer fired.
"Well, I would have. And if he had said the truth, I wouldn't be here for chit chats. I'll be dropping beautiful flowers on your grave. I'm here just to give you the chance to save yourself. Lie Jenifer! Lie."
If it was anything to keep the conversation going. Jenifer would do it. But she can not just go straight to the point. What if Marcus had denied her at home. Definitely, he would do that. What if she had not asked her husband about it at all and whatever she says is what Marcus would take up. Stella was smart, but she needed to be smarter.
"I still don't understand what you mean?" Jenifer said
"Like I predicted. You'll keep lying."Stella hissed.
"Marcus is just a friend Stella!"
"Not a student anymore, now a friend. Tell me more lady" Stella moves close to her infuriated. "Have you been sleeping with my husband?"She moves close to her face asking with anger.
Jenifer moves away from her and turned around to where her seat was as she took a sit. "It's so immature if you to think of that Stella. I know you have been having issues with Marcus, and he just comes here to spend time and cool his head. Nothing more."
"Oh. There you go. You know a lit about me then. You know the issues I have with my own husband!"
"Why not settle your issues first, before charging at an innocent lady who's trying to help your marriage!"
"I didn't ask you!" Stella just her fist in the desk. "I didn't ask you to stay with my husband for me. You're nobody. Don't come into our lives like you know all."
"Maybe I know all!" Jenifer was starting to get frustrated by the aggression Stella was passing to her. She was going to spill. Spill whatever happened between them. "Maybe I know that you're not worth being his wife. Maybe I know that you're cheating with his brother and luckily someone else too. Maybe I know you're not pregnant for him..."
"You told him about Allen and I?!" Stella could now realize where Marcus got his information. But how would she know about it. How?
"Oh. So it's really true!"
"Listen to me" Stella leaps over the desk so her face could be closer to Jenifer's "Every marriage has its own problem, so you better stay out of mine"
"Maybe it's too late" Jenifer stands up and turns around to where Stella was. "Yes. Yes. Yes. I've been sleeping with your husband. Since you don't enjoy sex with him. I do. Damn, that man is hot."
"How dare you! He..he said there was nothing between you two"
"Maybe Marcus loves you too much, it took him home before we happened. But your frustration at home pushed him here. He came to my fitness class because of you. You brought him to me. Easy peasy"
"You filthy animal-"
"We broke up."Jenifer announced sadly. "He broke up with me yesterday. He wanted to have his alone time. You should have believed him when he said there was nothing. Not anymore. He didn't lie"
Stella's lip shivered. She was moved to tears at what Jenifer was saying. From pushing her husband away, to him breaking up with Jennifer even in these tense situation. Truly, Marcus lived her for whatever she might be. She messed up. She messed up too much.
Luckily, he broke up with Jennifer. She had nothing to worry about. She was gonna abort her baby tomorrow and get things back with Marcus. She was gonna apologise and cry and beg her husband. She wanted a new life with him What's she's hearing is enough proof of how messed up she was.
She called Jenifer a filthy animal? She was knew herself. First a fuck boy, now her husbands brother. She was too filthy to deserve someone like Marcus. She really wasn't going to blame him for sleeping with Jenifer. She wasn't.
"You seem like you've realized your mistake Stella. But like I said, It's too late" Jenifer spat.
"What do you mean?"Stella's voice cracks
Jenifer rubs her belly continuously "We are both in same condition. Only that, Marcus is the real father of mine."
Stella's jaw drops
