FLASH BACK CONT
(TEN YEARS AGO)
DENISE POV
It’s been weeks since Racheal and her mom started to live with us and not once have I forgot what I saw on that day.
They haven’t gotten close to each other and Christopher keeps on making her life hell.
Have been trying to figure out just what happened between them but today I found out and am so angry, so very angry that Christopher had kept it a secret.
Holding a picture in my hand, I walked into his study unannounced.
“Why can’t you knock?” he asked
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were the one dating Racheal’s mother at first ?”i asked
“What rubbish are you saying?” he asked
” When you were still in your youth, you were the one dating her but you got another woman pregnant and she left you for your brother, ever since then you have been bitter with her and your brother, you sent them away from the island and have never forgotten her for once”
“Shut your mouth Denise”he warned
“You are happy that she came back and that your brother is dead,you think you two can get back with each other but she has been rejecting you and that is why you are angry with her and to punish her you make them live in that little house at the back” she said
“Are you done?”he asked
“Am not, tell me the truth Christopher, do you still love her?”I asked
“Am not going to answer you”he said
“You still have feelings for her?”I answered my question myself
“I don’t!”he said suddenly
“Fine then, will you prove it to me?”I asked
“What do you want me to do to convince you that I have no feelings for Racheal mother”
“Let me do what I like with her”I said
“What?”
“Let me handle her, let me do as I wish with her and if you don’t meddle once, I will believe that you don’t love her “I said
“Do you really have to go to such length, can’t my word be enough!”he asked
“It’s not enough! Cade father made me believe all of his lies, I won’t do the same with you so I need your answer! Will you let me do as i wish with her”I asked again and slowly he nodded.
“Good then”I said and then I left the study.
END OF FLASH BACK
HOT DEAL FULL OF SECRETS: Chapter 31 – 40
(PRESENT TIME)
That year I did a lot of things to Racheal and her mom and I dont regret it .
I knew that Racheal mom was innocent but because I was jealous of her and angry at Christopher, I became cruel towards her and her daughter until I got rid of the two of them.
Even when I got rid of the two, Christopher still loves her, he still keeps her hand Ker chief and that alone drives me crazy.
Have only ever seen the birth mark on the two but seeing it on Emily today must mean some thing or it doesn’t
This is driving me crazy, I thought feeling so frustrated and angry at life.
Both mother and daughter are dead and the dead can’t ever resurrect, neither will the past come back to haunt me.

CADE POV.
“Where can Emily be?”I thought as I went in search of her
It’s been a while and I haven’t see her any where,I thought as I got to the patio only to see her there.
She was there with her Micheal and Gracie and judging from their expression they were talking of work.
They all looked serious and someone said some thing funny and i watched the three out loud.
It’s been a while that Emily has been here, yet she never laughed out that loud before.
Have I only been causing her pain that she hardly smile,I thought as I kept on starring at Emily, who kept on talking while she smiled so brightly.
Seems like have been doing so, I thought feeling like a scum bag.
“Are you sure that you won’t regret your decision?” Stephanie asked as she came to sit beside me.
“What do you mean ?”i asked
“Just look at them! Do you think he is only after working?”She asked and i gave Micheal a look. ” he is trying his best to get Emily attention and if you are not careful,he might succeed”she said.
“So make your move before it’s too late”She added and walked off.
Just seeing Emily get along with Micheal drive me nuts and I feel so jealous but there is nothing I can do than to just face up to it and I must do my best to win Emily love and attention.
Putting on a smile and feeling determined to achieve some thing, I went towards the group.
“You don’t mind me staying right?”I asked and they agreed well apart from Emily who kept on starring at me strangely.
“Micheal why don’t you move here, Mr Callaghan sit is next to his wife, so let him sit there “Gracie said.
Micheal got up reluctantly and I sat down beside Emily.
She would have moved if only I hadn’t put my arm around her, making it known to every one and most especially Micheal that she belongs to me.
“Well it’s a good thing you are here Cade, we have to talk about the resort advertisement”Emily said as she moved out of my arms
“We have come with some idea, will you like to see it?”she asked as they set a laptop in front of me.
She began to tell me of a slogan and also a name tittle but i was lost just watching her beauty itself, why did it take me long to notice how beautiful and well endowed she is, have been such a fool pushing her away but no more, I thought as I kept on starring at her
“Urrrgh…..Cade? “She called softly waiting for me to say some thing.
I came back to reality only to realise that I have been asked a question but have lost at starring at Emily.
“Sorry I haven’t been listening”I said
“Because you got side tracked by looking at your wife, you two look good together, I wish I had some one who keeps on looking at me like you do with Emily”Gracie said happily but when I looked at Emily it was to see that she wasn’t smiling.
“Well that’s bad, if the boss wouldn’t focus, he will just have to excuse us, as it is we have a lot of work to finish”Micheal said
“Don’t be like that! I think he is sweet “Gracie said to Micheal.
“Guys please continue with your work, I will like to talk to my husband”Emily said as she pulled me by my hand.
We walked out side and she let go and turned to look at me coldly.
“Am grateful, grateful to you for bringing my friends here, you have no idea how happy I am at having some one to talk to at last”she began
“Emily I…….”
“Let me finish please!”she begged and i stopped giving her the chance to speak.
“Thanks for bringing some one over that I can talk to, you were really cool and I like that you noticed how lonely how I felt and brought in my friends, you’ve made my day by bringing them over but let it end there”she said
“E………”
“Let me finish speaking”she said stopping me again
“As have said,I want it to end between us Cade and that can only by done by you, you started all this farce so it’s only fair that you clean it up, as soon as we finish with the project, I will leave and…….”
“I won’t accept it, I won’t let you leave”I said
“You have no choice Cade, you don’t own me, we are not really married and so you have no claim over just as I don’t have any over you, I will like it if you agree to my wishes, I will get back to my friends, now that they are here, I feel more comfortable in this house, Its a pity that I never felt that way with you Cade”She finished and then she walked off.
I stood like that for a while thinking about what she just said, she was never comfortable because I never gave her my time nor my love.
I walked out of the house and strolled around a bit, I found myself walking to back to the little house at the back.
Why did I come here? I thought as I kept on starring at it.
“Still feeling guilty? “my mother asked as she came to stand beside me
“Do you think that I can feel good knowing that if I hadn’t done what I did, those two at that house will still be fine”I asked
“It’s all in the past Cade, move on already”she said
“I can’t mom, no matter how hard I try I just can’t stop thinking of her”I said
“You know earlier today I saw some thing “she said
“What?”
“The same birth mark on Racheal and her mom arm, some one else has it”she said
“What?”
“You should rather be asking who?”she said
“Who has that same birth mark mom?”I asked feeling like I was on edge.
“Your wife!”she said and I staggered back a bit
“What?”
.
“It’s strange that you haven’t noticed it, I noticed while she was wearing her night gown, she has the same birth mark but she is not the one, don’t let your imagination run wild”She said
“Why are you so sure?”I asked
“I got rid of her, remember, now go and have a rest, you need it”She said as she walked off
I still felt off about it, it doesn’t feel right!, Why will Emily have the same birth mark, I thought, I have to confirm myself, I thought as I went back in.
I saw her still at the patio with her friends and I went there,excusing us both before I pull her away.
“What’s this Cade?”She asked as she finally managed to pull her self free from my hold.
Not bothering to Answer her, I pushed up her sleeve and saw the birth mark.
“What’s it! My birth mark, it looks some how ugly right?”She said and that got me starring at her in shock.
I found myself remembering standing with a girl and I asked about her birth mark only to be told the same thing Emily said to me and if I can still remember what she said, am sure about what will be the next thing coming from Emily.
“Its hereditary and so I had to inherit one too” I remembered the words in my head and I waited for Emily to finish what she was saying
“Its hereditary and so I had to inherit one too”she replied and I felt myself sagging against a wall.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”She kept on asking as she held onto my arm staring at me
This can’t be, Emily cant be……she just can’t be.
