Chapter 8

• It was Dominic and seriously at this point it was becoming irritating. I knew very well all his calls were personally for his own selfish gains but how I wished at this point he would see that there was no light for him at the end of this tunnel. Maybe in another lifetime that I could not think about. I watched the phone ring and then I saw a notification that had entered some hours ago on my phone. It was from the club and I had gotten the job. It was pretty funny that I had been selected among the three girls that would be dancing at the VIP area which apparently was my goal. That would suit my purpose for all my plans. My excitement knew no bounds and I could not wait to share it with Zara. The hours began crawling now that I needed the light across the sky. When I noticed the rising sun, I got out of bed immediately and then went to open both curtains and turned to face her.
• "Voila!!!" I screamed.
• She was waking up and tried to go back to sleep but I already had ruined that. I stood there by the window staring at her as she pulled the duvet over her head and then she sighed heavily. She brought it off her head and sat up with her perky little boobs smiling at me.
• "You do realize you are naked right?" she asked as she scratched her head
• "Yup and?" I asked
• "You are at the window." she said laughing.
• I laughed too.
• "The window on the seventh floor. Who would dare look at this body from way up here?" I asked as I playfully pressed my naked body to the large window
• "Keep doing that and the glass would break open with your naked body." she teased and threw me a pillow
• "At least I would die sexy." I said, catching the pillow and coming over to sit beside her.
• She looked at me for some time and then smiled.
• "Out with it." she said
• "Out with what?" I asked her
• "The details of whatever made you wake me up." she said
• "Well, you are going to be wowed." I said
• "Go on." she pushed further
• "I am set to be one of the new VIP strippers at Emilio's club." I said.
• She smiled widely.
• "That's great really. Game on and congratulations sis." she said as she came closer to where I now sat on the bed to hug me from behind. I smiled but then became a tease as that's what we usually do.
• "Thanks but would you get your naked body off me before I do something I would regret?" I asked her teasingly
• "Oh what would you do?" she asked.
• It was at this moment I realized how really dirty my thoughts could be. A couple of dirty things crossed my mind and I knew this toxicity was emerging from Emilio. I never knew in my life I could have such positive thoughts towards the practice of BDSM.
• "You're lucky I'm female." I said laughing.
• Eventually Zara and I had finished up and we checked out of the hotel. She needed to go home to her family and I, perhaps I should go home and see if my estranged husband has settled or maybe remembers seeing me. I still had the envelope with me but was contemplating on whether or not I wanted to go hand it to Dominic in the heat of things between us two. Thinking about it carefully, I decided that I would hand it over. I could not keep running away from him and all his desires. It was time I faced them squarely. Zara decided on her own that she would first accompany me to go drop it off with Dominic and truth be told, I needed her company and support. I had put on a decent wear with light make up and drove her in my car that I now retrieved from the hotel parking lot. It was straight to Dominic's firm that morning. While in the lobby, I had called him to ascertain if he was in and quickly he said I should come in. Almost simultaneously he had called the receptionist to send me to his office immediately but he was really surprised when I entered with Zara behind me.
• "Ah-ah Zara, long time no see." he had greeted with no atom of excitement. It was like she had interrupted all his plans for me and I now was glad I had brought her along despite the crazy voice screaming for me to leave her behind. It feels really good now.
• Zara greeted him equally but with more excitement than he did but just not too much. He had to know she was being protective. Typical Zara.
• I handed him the envelope.
• "You may begin the proceedings of the divorce Dom." I said
• "Trust me, I shall have it done within a week or two." he said
• "Good now I must take my friend home." I said
• "Alright. I hope you are fine though?" he asked me
• "Absolutely." I said walking away.
• He could not say anything further as Zara was already looking as though she would be needing to get home in a flicker. He smiled and then held onto the envelope like it mattered more than anything else in his life. Zara and I were out of his office in a short time without saying anything on the way out to each other. Keeping it professional I guess but once in the car. She started.
• "Dom? Seriously?" she said referring to how I called him
• "Yes. You know that's how I always referred to him." I said
• "But clearly he's smitten by you Samantha. You calling him Dom would keep giving him hopes and a guy like that is a keeper. He would do anything to keep you." she said.
• As I drove her to her stop where she would pick a cab home, the last words hit me. I was beginning to find myself wondering as to what length would Dominic go to keep me. It bugged me but I reminded myself that he was not the one asking Emilio to cheat after all. That was clearly the choice of the crazy narcissist I had fallen totally for.
• I drove home afterwards and still did not give my keys to the potter. I still had my stuff in the booth after all. I walked inside the sitting room and was about heading for the guest room which I had moved into.
• "Where are you coming from Samantha?" his voice thundered from the bar area.
• It was Emilio. He was half sitting on the stool with one of his long legs outstretched and the older on the stool holding. His shirt was open and his beautiful hair fell around but his half loosened tie dangled on his neck. I was seriously disappointed. As much as he looked drunk, he also looked like he would pass a contest for the god of sex. Did I fail to mention the extra details of lipstick markings on his left cheek and his chest? Yes they were there and he gulped his drink from the glass entirely as he stood up walking towards me. I was frowning now but my frown deepened when I heard the noise beside me.
• It was her again. His punny mistress Hailey. She was in some weird straight out of the BDSM shop leather. It was really funny and embarrassing how she looked. She had what would pass for a collar on her neck as she held a whip in her mouth. She looked totally ashamed.
• "I thought you said she's not coming back?" she said suddenly as she took the whip off her mouth
• "Did I permit you to speak?" he demanded
• "I'm sorry master." she said looking scared.
• Seriously, what has my Emilio become? He was now looking at me hungrily and I knew I better go away.
• "Get dressed and leave Hailey. I would like to have a moment with my wife." he said suddenly.
• Seriously? No way!!!
