Chapter One: John.
I have worked tirelessly today since Monday,and one thing I observed is that my boss,Mr.Stone',refused to speak with me today,even when I tried talking with him on several occasions.
I can't really tell the reasons for his sudden change of mood but one thing I'm sure of is that his interactions with my in-laws were pushing him to antagonize me because they always tell him smelly things about me.
However,I don't give a damn. Today, luckily enough,was the last day of the month and without any doubt,I would be given my full salary for sure.
"John" I heard my boss calling me.I guess it's time to get paid?. I thought.
"You ass hole,submit your stupid being in my office" He said arrogantly.
I was surprised because I have never seen or heard him talking to me in such a manner before. What has come over him? I guess he must have had a rough time probably with his wife or so.
I ran to his office,and saw him stretching his hand and presenting an envelope to me. It was never common for him to give me an envelope every month end. Or maybe,he has upgraded his standard of paying workers salary in a more and decent way.
I collected it,and was surprised to see that it was a sack letter on the grounds of theft accusation.
"I don't understand sir. What are my being accused of?. I have never stolen a dime since I started working here. So how come this?"
"Fool,you still have the guts to lie?. If you provoke me the more,I will unleash the police on you. How dare you?. I just decided to be silent about this case since morning because I know that today would definitely be your last day working in this store" He said.
"No I can't tolerate this sir. You don't have any evidence against me and you are accusing me of the crime I can never commit even in my deepest dream" I said with annoyance in my veins.
However, before I could finish speaking,he accelerated a dangerous slap on my cheek and before I could open my eyes to see what just happened,I saw five huge policemen standing before me.
Oh no,I don't want to go to jail for a reason that's not even genuine. I know Mr.Stone very well. He is a beast who has successfully sent people blackmailed and sent people to jail. My case can't be different from theirs because I'm a no-body.
As I watched the policemen,he ordered them to throw me out of his business surroundings.
"If I ever see your legs close to this place again,I will make sure you rot in jail"He said to me.
I was finally kicked out by the police,who were puppets in the hands of rich and powerful civilians.
Damn,I just wasted my time this month. Had it been I knew that things would turn out this way,I wouldn't have worked then.
I started to trek back to my house since I have no transport fare at hand. I have utilized the last penny I have and for this reason,I have no option but to go back home on legs.
While trekking back,the thoughts of my beautiful daughter and billionaire wife came to my mind.
Anabel my wife won't be happy that I didn't return with my poor salary and Clara, my beautiful daughter, will definitely cry because I didn't buy her biscuits and ice-cream.
However,my issue was not really on Clara,but on Anabel who would soon wage reckless war on me,despite how rich she is.
I trekked for five hours before realizing that darkness was now ruling and that night downed.
I walked straight into my house,opened the parlor door and saw Clara, my daughter , sitting alone on the sofa with a sad look on her face.
"What's it angel?"I asked,but she pointed her left hand to my inner room. I don't know what she meant,until I focused my attention at the door,and started to hear moans. I couldn't believe my ears then I walked inside the room.
Lo and behold,I saw my wife Anabel with a stranger. My body was cold as shock filled my heart. I looked for tears,but couldn't find it and out of anger,I blasted.
"How dare you, Anabel?.
"How dare what?"She responded as she shouted at me.
Damn,she wasn't even showing signs of remorse. Like she did it intentionally.
"You have the guts to bring a dude into my house for this ugly reason?"I shouted with lots of pain in my heart.
"Which house? Your house or the very house I built with my money?.
More anger boiled in me as she said this.
"I don't want you in my life again. Pack your loads and go,and stop disturbing my happiness"She said.
"What! Anabel you?"
"Yes,me. You heard that clearly he-goat".
I bowed my head,and was silent for a while.
I just prayed that someone should wake me up from this nightmare but when I saw that it was a reality,I decided to accept my fate.
Anabel? Of all people?. Someone I made who she is today now turning her heart against me?. Does she know the kind of dude I'm?
I have always seen this reaction whenever I was with her parents who don't even like to see me. They changed totally three years ago and since then,my marriage was not even better than a corpse.
While I was thinking,the stupid dude who was having an affair with her,told me to wake out of the room. I let silence over him.
While he was still naked,he picked up his trouser suit that was on the floor,put his hands in his pocket,and brought out a gun.
"Stand there you idiot,what do you think you are about to do?" He said,as he pointed the pistol on me.
I wasn't scared of him because I know that he just wanted to threaten me.
Meanwhile, he was about to come closer to me intimidatingly, when I caught his hand,squeezed it,and launched a heavy slap in his face.
He fell immediately,and slumped.
