Jack's phone rang, and it was from Emily . Reluctantly, he picked it up.
"Hello, I heard you hit my Ms. Paulina and even abused ma. Janet. Is that true?" she said with an authoritative voice.
"No, I didn't hit them..." he was about to explain, but Emily cut him off.
"Stop lying, I can't believe you can do that,, how could you? Just because I divorced, is that a reason you vent the anger on my Aunt and abuse my grandma?" she yelled, and Sophia could hear their conversation.
"That isn't the case, Emily , it is..."
She interrupted him again, "shut your mouth up. I can't believe you again. Anything that comes from your mouth is lies; you are a fake. I should know you are horrible"
"You listened to your aunt, why not listen to me, then why are you calling".
"Just as I said, I can't believe you… I realise you have nothing in your mouth except lies".
"Okay, if that is what you want to believe," jack said.
"You better come back and apologize to them," Emily prompted.
Jack scoffed, "you don't mean that? I should apologize? For what? You must be dreaming ."
"Jack , stop proving stubborn and come up clean. Then I will forget and won't press further."
Jack was still surprised by Emily 's transformation. Even though his mother in laws always treated him like a shit, Emily was always there to console him; but she just suddenly changed.
"What will you do if I don't apologize?"
"That I will charge you for assault. Apologize, and I will forget everything."
"Do your worst; I don't care," jack ranted back.
"Really, I can see how animalistic you are, such an ungrateful soul, you don't even let our divorce reach a day, you are already with another lady."
"Say anything you want; this will be the end of picking up your calls," he said and hung up. Sophia chose not to ask about it.
*****
Then, after some minutes, Sophia pulled up in front of the urban luxe boutique, the most expensive boutique store in the city, it was only meant for high class people only.
They both walked out and went inside the elegant sparkling boutique. There were many high fashion clothes. Jack just picked a shirt nearest to him. He wore it.
That time, Sophia couldn't help but notice the handsome. She kept staring at him.
"Hello, we should go", Jack snapped Sophia back to life. She immediately pay for the clothes and rushed to meet up with jack.
As jack stepped out, he stumbled into Emily, her secetary behind him. Sophia arrived at the scene and wondered what's happening.
"So, this is where you are!, With your mistress", Emily broke the pregnant silence.
Jack chose not to respond and just ignored him, but when Sophia heard she was referring to her as the mistress, she chimed in, "and that is none of your concern".
Emily brow furrowed, "This shouldn't be any of your concern instead, I am not talking to you but him".
Jack shot Emily a stone gaze, "who I am with is none of your concern, we have broken up and let that just end there".
"Wow, you are starting to act manly, I think your mistress is really paying you for your service, hope you are not washing the plate and clothes as you always did' Emily stated, intentionally wanting to ridicule him in front of Emily.
Emily frowned, she found this funny. If it was true, how could a grown man like jack be the one doing chores?
"Stop saying unnecessary and impossible things just to ridicule him, it's of no use miss",Sophia stated.
Emily chukled, covering her mouth, "what?, Even he can't deny it, he really washed plates and even washed my mom's feet".
Sophia was shocked hearing this, she retreated back.
"Yeah, I did all that… I'm stupid thinking it's all okay since you love me, I even did things worse than that, I'm not ashamed of it, you can take the speaker and announce it publicly". Jack stated.
Emily scoffed again, "I can't believe the level of your shamefulness, you this lowlife, poor orphan without background, keep leaping after her everywhere, that won't stop your miserable life, because she is just going to use you just like I did".
THEN, Sophia stated, "I really don't care about what any of you said, I will always be his Mistress regardless.. we love each other and that is what matters", Sophia wrapped her hand around him smiling.
This made Emily more angrier and jealous, "You are disgusting!", She sneered at them and angrily left. Sophia watched as she left, her hand still around jack until he stylishly removed it.
"Thanks", jack simply stated and entered the car, just as she was about to start the engine, Sophia's phone rang and it was from Lydia, her sister.
"Sister, you have to come here right now, dad was actually poisoned, and we have caught who did it".
"What! Really, I'm coming", Sophia stepped on the gear and drove away.
Meanwhile, Emily was in the boutique, preparing a dress to wear to the Achveil banquet tomorrow.
