Chapter 53: Drake Lockman and his wife
Drake Lockman sat in his penthouse in Switzerland he was laying low for a while. After his little stunt with the Woods family he was now under police investigation, Jeremy must have tipped them off. No suprises there. He wasn't happy about his current situation. His lawyers assured him everything would be fine, He just had to lay low. He hated the feeling of powerlessness. He paced around the room for a while.
He could just send a message to one of his insiders to just walzs in and shoot Jeremy in the head but being the man that he is he didn't just want Jeremy dead he wanted him to suffer, just like he had suffered when Jeremy took his brother away from him, the only family he had left in the world.
He groaned in pain as he grabbed his forehead, he wasn't in any physical pain but an emotional one, no could possibly understand what he had been through. The rage in his heart had intensified at that very moment, but then, his beautiful wife walked in. She walked elegantly to were he stood. He just stood there as she walked closer to him. He stared at her like the first time he met her. He would always get lost in her emerald eyes.
"Ugg..don't tell me honey." She said in a rather irritated manner as she touched the side of his face with her soft hands.
"Don't tell you what?" He asked even though he knew exactly what she was talking about.
"You always do this. Just kill him already and forget about the past. I don't know why you keep stalling. All this thinking and plotting is beginning to make you have wrinkles and I'm getting sick of it."
"I can't just kill him."
"Why not."
"Because he killed my brother you Bitch!!." Drake yelled as he pushed her hand away. It wasn't his intention to yell at her but he was sick of hearing her say the words forget the past, she just simply couldn't understand him.
"Wow, after everything I've done for. All the sacrifices l made. And this is what l get in return."
"Well l didn't ask you to sleep with him did I?"
Hearing this statement Sexianna Black walked towards her husband who had now turn his back on her. She leaned on his shoulders and whispered in his ear
"Your the one who asked me to get close to him. And now your upset. I remember when l was upset when you suggested the idea. You used me so you don't deserve to get upset." Sexianna said as her eyes teared up. She attempted to walk away but Drake Lockman pulled her into his arms.
Drake hugged her tightly afraid to let her go. He didn't want to lose her. And she was absolutely right. He didn't have the right to get angry, at least not at her, It was his idea for her to get close to Jeremy. Although now he regrets it.
"I'm sorry." He whispered as he kissed her head.
"It's okay I forgive you." She replied sweetly.
They hugged for a while before he let go off her. They both sat down together and drank some wine.
"Sometimes l do feel like sending one of my men to just kill him. But when I think about that decision it just doesn't feel right. I don't think I'll be satisfied or happy with my self after l make that decision." Drake Lockman said his eyes filled with unfiltered emotion.
"I understand honey. And it's fine, do what ever you want. All I want is to see you happy." Sexianna said with a sweet smile as she gave her husband a kiss.
"What would you do If you were me? Tell me." Drake Lockman asked.
Sexianna thought for a while before answering.
"Honestly I don't know. But I wouldn't harm Jeremy."
"Why not?"
"Because what's the fun in that, And it it proven that true pain happens when the ones you truly love are in pain, not you. So why harm Jeremy when there are others."
"I've tried that approach."
"Who? With Steve? No. That plan would have been more effective if it were a woman."
"Last I checked there was no woman in Jeremy's life."
"Check again."
"What do you mean."
"I've heard reports that Jeremy has been spending time with the exact girl you had eyes on. Turns out you might be right, there could be a relationship between them. Imagine the pain of losing a lover."
"I would be terribly. But she could just be one of his one night stands or go to girl what if she means nothing to him and It would all be a waste of time."
"Well..that's why you have me. I'll fly back to New york tomorrow to check how close they are." Sexianna said with a smirk.
"You have no Idea how great my love is for you. I can't find any one else like you." Drake Lockman told his wife.
"I would do anything for you." Sexianna replied.
"As will I."
Sexianna smiled as she kissed her husband. He was the love of her life and nothing was gonna change that. He was her hero the only person who saw the real her and loved her for it.
"What about your brother, how are you gonna handle him?." Drake asked. A question Sexianna had been trying to avoid, but it was inevitable.
Sexianna had a brother who was extremely loyal to Jeremy, He feared that her brother wouldn't be on board with their plan. I mean he didn't even know about there relationship.
"Don't worry about him, I'll handle him. Just like I handle every problem."Sexianna said with a smile but deep down she felt horrible. Her brother was extremely stubborn and strict not to mention straight forward how was she going to convince him to betray Jeremy for her sake. Would he?"
