Chapter 60; a misunderstanding
Cynthia settled the bills and left for her car.
She got in, shut her eyes and leaned back.
"What a story. So Monalisa is married. This is such a great information. All I need is to get information about the guy and get him to seek revenge on Monalisa. Let's see how Monalisa would escape his wrath. She definitely has no idea what's going to hit her" She laughed and opened her eyes. "At last, I'll finally have Jayden back and Jayden will be mine, only mine forever. You are so done Monalisa. Pack your bags, you'll be leaving this city for good. Cynthia, you are so good..."
My mum grabbed the note Cynthia had left behind on the table and left for her room.
I was done taking my evening bath when my phone rang. I dropped the towel on the couch and grabbed the phone.
"Strange number. Hello who is this?
"Hello Monalisa"
A familiar voice. I checked the caller ID.
"Mum? I said.
"Yes dear. It's your mum. Thank goodness you answered the call. I really want to meet up with you and talk..."
I immediately hung up and dropped my phone.
Her call kept coming in but I ignored them.
I went downstairs to fix dinner for Jayden and I. my phone rang again and I ignored it the moment I saw the caller.
Jayden watched me pick up my phone and placing it back on the cabinet without taking the call.
I served dinner at the dining room. Jayden and I dug in. Again, her call came in again. I ignored them. Jayden placed his cutleries on the plate and wiped his mouth.
"You and the caller are pissing me off right now" Jayden said glaring at me.
"Why?
"It's either you switch off the damn phone or you take the call"
"No"
"No? who the fuck is the caller? What does the fucker want? Why ain't you taking the fucker's call? "Are you hiding something from me?
"What? no I'm not" I tittered.
"Yes you are. What are you hiding from me?
"I'm not hiding anything from you. It's a spam call. The caller will get tired. Let's just ignore the call"
"It's ringing again. Go take the call"
"But I don't want to"
"Monalisa..." he groaned
"Yes"
I grabbed my phone and stepped out of the dining room. I walked quickly to the poolside.
"What do you want from me!! My life!!
"My daughter"
"Don't call me that"
"I just want to talk to you"
"Hold on! How did you get my number? Who gave you my number? Tell me!
"I will tell you, only if you promise to meet up with me"
"No thank you. I do not need it. Delete my number. I'm hanging up and I'm going to block your number"
"Your best friend gave your number to me"
"My best friend! You met my best friend and she gave you my number!!! How!! How dare she? Who the fuck does she think she is to give out my number to a total stranger. She is crazy"
"Do not be so mad at her. She was just helping me out. In fact she wants us to reunite after I told her everything"
"You told her everything and she didn't get mad at you and agreed to fix our relationship? That's a lie woman"
"I'm not lying to you"
"You are. There is no way she would betray me"
"She gave your number to me tonight, where we had met up to talk. She was pretty mad at me. She tried so hard to hide it but I was able to see through her. My dear..."
"I'm not going to hold any further discussion with you" I ended the call and had my seat. "Tricia gave out my number to her? First off, how did Tricia meet her? They hold meetings too? Hold on, maybe...the reason I bumped into her at the restaurant was because of Tricia? You're so dead Tricia"
I went back inside and hurried to our room. I pulled out the drawer and grabbed one of the car keys and hurried downstairs.
"Let me borrow your car" I said to Jayden, walking past him.
"my car? Hey Monalisa..."
Jayden followed and I pressed the key.
"Wow!
"Nah! Not that sport car"
"I already have the key"
"Where are you heading to?
"To Tricia's place?
"Why? Is everything okay?
"No. I've got scores to settle with her for her betrayal"
"What betrayal? Look, driving when you are so angry is not advisable. Why don't you take tonight and cool off. You can go to her place tomorrow"
"No. I'm going to her now. Move out of my way" I got into the car and shut the door. " Hey, don't worry, I won't hurt your baby" I winked at him and drove off.
I arrived at Tricia's place and banged loudly on the door.
"Who the fuck is that psychopath!! Tricia yelled from inside.
I continued banging loudly on the door until she opened the door. She was surprised to see.
"It's you Monalisa?
"Why? Are you surprised to see me?
"Yes I am. Why were you banging so loudly on my door? Please come in"
I angrily went inside while Tricia locked the door.#
"Want some water?
"Why did you do it?
"Do what?
"Why did you betray me and give out my number to a total stranger?
"Say what now? I did what?
"You gave her my number!
"Her? Who is she?
"Oh please, stop pretending t0 not know what I am talking about"
"Of course I have no idea about you are blabbing out. You show up at my house banging on my door so loudly like a maniac and now saying I gave out your number to a stranger, girl, I'm lost"
"She clearly said on the phone that my best friend gave her my number and you had given it to her tonight at your meeting place!
"What? You must be drunk Mona. I didn't step out of my house tonight. I came back from work at 6pm and I have been sleeping since then. I just woke up to fix my dinner. So I do not know what you are talking about"
"You didn't give her my number?
"Who?
"My...my mum"
