"I enjoyed you today." I moaned as I watched Jade wearing her corporate skirt back. I locked my lips. I grabbed her ass and pulled her closer to me. She smiled. She knew what I wanted.
" I have to get back to work." She said. She started ruffling my hair and my body just tingled a little. My hair was my weak spot.
" What about the promotion that we talked about?" She continued. I pulled her away. Not this topic again.
" I can't just give you a promotion from a secretary to Head manager. People would suspect." I explained. Jade stood up from my thigh and walked towards the window. I sighed.
"So now, you cars about others? I deserve that promotion, you know!" She roared. I scratched my head.
" Look, I will increase your salary, okay? Now..." I reassured and walked close to her, my arms wrapped round her waist.
"Why don't we continue huh" I said. I began kissing her neck but she stood still, arms folded. I sighed again and walked to my chair.
"It seems like you are serious." I said. Jade scoffed.
"Of course. I won't give in until you do what I asked you to do." She ordered. I frowned.
She sounds just like Natasha, before I brought her into my house as my wife.
But Susie never asked for anything.
I banged my fists on the table, which startled Jade.
"Fine. Expect your promotion letter tomorrow." I murmured. She rushed and hugged me.
"Sweetheart, don't worry I will reward you, trust me." She whispered.

I drove back home. Switching off my car engine, I heard a scream. Then, there was a gunshot. I froze. My legs began to shake. The lights in my living room was on so I could see the shadow of my wife running away from something. Then, my maid rushed outside. She looked back at the house and was about to leave the compound till she just fell down. I gasped. Her blood flowing out of her quietly. A man came out of the house.
"Fool." He said and kicked her body.
I tried to find a place to run but as soon as I turned; I felt a cold plastic close to my head.
"Move." A cold husky voice said.
"Pl-please." I begged but there was no reply. I silently walked back into the house.
My eyes widened. My house was turned upside down already.
"Your wife has already showed us the money in this house, but we think you know where you hid the rest."
"Where is she?" I cried.
"She is gone." The robber whispered.
"And my son?"
"He is with us." He said.
I fell to the ground.
"There is no time to cry." The robber scoffed.
"Give us the rest of the money." He ordered.
I remained silent.
"It seems like you want to be stubborn huh?" He roared and hit my head with a stick. I gasped for air, my breath was deteriorating. I rubbed the side that got hit and looked at my trembling hands, all covered in my own blood.
"I don't have any other money! You have taken all that I have!" I screamed. Then, there was a loud cry. The cry of a child.
"James? James!!" I screamed. I looked behind me and saw my own son. His mouth was covered with a clothing.
"Daddy!" He mumbled. They injected something in him. His arm was wrapped. Like they were hiding something.
"He was acting stubborn." The robber said.
I stood up to grab him but they hit me again. I fell down, already coughing out blood.
"Leave my son alone! Please!" I begged. But none of them listened to me.
There was the sound of siren gradually coming closer.
The police. They sensed it. One of them started packing up the money.
"We'll be back." The other one said. I tried to recognize their faces but they were wearing a black mask. As they went through the back door, the last one turned around:
"Just in case." He grinned a d loaded his gun.
Boom!
That was the last sound that I heard. I looked at my leg that was seriously bleeding. I looked at my son, unconscious.
"James..." I whisperered. I heard some voices.
Until my ears stopped listening. The world suddenly stopped spinning.
Everything suddenly went dark.
