Chapter 18 - Unicef & Dave

 Mr. Sanders has been tailed by the CIA and it only took one deal to nail him, me, to discover his tricks and fake accounts to help non-government organizations including UNICEF.

I heard in the news this morning about his arrest. Too bad, I thought he was a good man! Hmm…., I thought and as I was sipping my hot coffee one morning, Trish kissed me on the forehead.

Good for him!, I knew it that he was the mole in our projects, Iggy added. Thanks Iggy, see you soon, okay, enjoy the bonus!, I said and turned my cell off. Iggy is seen smiling and jumping from her seat since she received a good amount of tip from her boss.

Let's go somewhere, babe! It's on me, this time!, I said to Trish and kissed her on the lips lovingly. Where?

You'll see!, and we came across a bridge and a beautiful villa which Dave gave to me as a wedding gift. Though, we didn't go through the marriage, still, we both signed the papers that I own this place now. Trish looked amazed and beautiful at the same time that I couldn't resist to kiss her mouth and hug her. But what I thought was a dream come true is far from reality for even before we sat foot on the Villa's door, Dave was already in front standing with a smirk and teasing smile on his face.

Good morning darling!, Dave said and while freeing my grip on Trish's neck. Have you forgotten that we signed the contract, yes, as owner of this villa, but only if we are married. And this contract is our pre-nuptual agreement. Plus we signed this that even if we didn't get married in church, we are legally married in Civil law, Dave added and walking towards us, while Trish tried to protect me from the cunning monster, her best friend and my ex-fiance, who is now, I think, my husband by law. I felt throwing up and I wanted to cry but I couldn't. Looking at Trish who took the document off Dave's hand and scanned through it. She looked at me and almost wanting to cry then nodded that the paper is valid, though far from legal, still, Dave and I are married, after all.

Trish, I love you, I confronted my girlfriend, holding her neck and kissing her on the mouth again and again. No, Maine, you are still married to Dave, I, love you, but the law is the law. I will check with my lawyer about this and let's see if we can file a divorce. That is if you want to?, Trish asked and kissed me back. Yes, with all my heart!

Okay, then, we will make some adjustments and I'll make the necessary arrangements, Trish said and both us moved to face Dave. We will accept this for now. But I will not stay in th villa with you!, I added seriously this time.

Sure, but the law requires you to stay with me, until your eligibility as a European citizen comes. If we will have a child, she or he will automatically be a European citizen, and that be so awesome, huh!?, Dave said happily. In your dreams, Maine said disdainfully. Maine, babe, listen, this isjust for a while, until we find a way for you to divorce Dave. Until then, you live with him in the villa and I will stay in the guest room for the mean time. I love you!, Trish said kissing me on the lips and looking back at Dave as if nodding her head in approval.

I don't want to stay with him, Trish, I hate him so much I can't stand him being close to me!, Maine cried crying. Babe, you loved him before me, I'm sure you'll get along well. Just this time, I am sacrificing my love for you so he can help you with your citizenship.

Three days prior to the meeting in Dave and Maine's Villa. Trish!! Hello, Cough! Cough!, a sick man's voice said in a weak tone. Who is this?

It's me, Dave, your best friend!

Dave???, wat the hell happened to you. You haven't answered my calls and texts, what's wrong you ugly beast!?

Haah, just had some tests since I felt sickly this past few months. Remember when my nose bled profusely when we were in elementary? Well, now I found the answer to my life-long head aches and weakening body, It's leukemia. It was just anemia when I was younger but now it took a toll and I only have four months to live. My friend, I need to have an heir to leave in Maine's care, I can only do this with your help! I want her and my child to own my estates and money.

Please, help me!, Dave added still coughing. That's why when Maine and Trish met him now, he looked so pale and has crutches. Just appearing to be invalid since he lied that he had an accident when he and some of their friends went to Ibiza paragliding. But in fact he was with his mom and dad for the chemotherapy treatment in the U.S., a couple of months ago. Dave even made sure that he religiously stays with his treatment just to prolong his life until then his life is in God's hands now.

How can I resist my childhood friend. I'm in love with Maine but I love Dave too. He is like a brother to me and he is always there for me same as me for him. Hearing this from my best friend sent shivers to my spine and how I regret the fact that I stole his girlfriend from him and now he has a few months to live, felt the need to cry and now I'm sobbing big time with Dave. Shut the fuck up, Trish, no crying! Not even in my funeral, bro! You're the only one who knows about this, mom and dad. The others doesn't have a clue, so please keep this a secret, especially to Maine! Trish, please, okay!?

O…kayyyy!, I replied with a heavy heart. Thanks a million! Okay need to get some sleep, I love you!, Dave said. I love you!, I said and Dave's phone clicked off. I was left dumbfounded and sorry for my best friend, brother's fate.
