Chapter 173: Losing Everything

Chapter 173: Losing Everything
“Stop lying, you are not even good at it, I just want to know why you thought I wouldn’t find out. Did you think you were that slick?” Nathan laughed.

“I can explain please.” she pleaded.
“Oh, I will give you a chance to explain, but I don’t need your lies because the police told me everything that happened,” Nathan replied.

“The police?” Nancy gasped, “So you knew I was in police custody and never came to my rescue!” her eyes were getting glassy from all the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks.

“Why would I help someone who impersonated their friend online just to make them look bad, what was that for Nancy? Carina was rooting so hard for you and this was how you paid her back?”

“It wasn’t my intention to make her look bad, someone hacked the account.” she cried.
“Why did you create the account in the first place? What was the reason?” Nathan yelled back.

Nancy couldn't believe what was happening in her life just because of one stupid account she created, 
“Nathan please be patient with me, I was just having a little fun and… and”

“A little fun? I went through the page, and it seems you follow Harry, even me, and almost everyone in the Hughes family. Were you not trying to send a message to us? You were busily trying to paint your friend black to all of us. What other explanation do you have for that?” Nathan asked again.

“It was not like that.”

“Jealousy is a hard drug Nancy, and you were too high on it to realize how far you were going with this. I don’t think I can work with someone like you. Forget what I said, I will find someone else.”

“No… no no no, you can’t do this to me, please don’t do this to me, I’m still paying my mortgage I’m going to be homeless. Please Nathan.” she desperately begged like her life depended on it.

“I thought you already had a job?” Nathan said sarcastically,
“I quit” Nancy burst out crying, “I quit to help you build your business please don’t leave me like this.” 

“I can’t help you, sorry” he nonchalantly replied and went ahead to hang up on her, Nancy could feel the world crashing on her, what was she going to do now? First, she lost her job and in a few weeks, she would be losing her home too. She panted and paced the living room thinking about all the things she was going to lose.

“I need a job, I need a job.” she screamed then remembered her impending lawsuit, “oh good Lord I’m toast” she screamed, “I will have no money left after this!”
She sat on the floor and chewed her nails nervously, desperate to do something to save herself. She thought of all the people she could blame for her misfortunes and only one name came to mind. Deon!

It was his fault, everything went wrong because of him, she thought they were a team and he made her believe so then when trouble came he went he betrayed her. She sighed and shook her head, 

“He has to take some responsibility, he’s equally to blame for this.”

She went and took her bath, dressed up, and made sure she was looking her best then, set off to Deon’s house. She was going to make sure that she wasn’t going through this alone, 

She rang his doorbell twice but to her surprise, the one who opened the door was not Deon. It was Emily they both stared at each other with displeasure.
“I remember you, you are that girl from his office, right?”
“Right.”

“What do you want?”
“Where is he?” Nancy asked. “And why are you here? I thought you two were history?” 

“It’s none of your business and if you don’t have any proper reason for being here then leave.” Emily raised her voice,
Nancy stared at her and wished she could slap her from where she stood, she was the type of lady to cling to a man like her life depended on it, she had no self-respect and Nancy pitied her for that.

“I didn’t come here to fight with the likes of you,” she replied, trying to think of a way to piss her off.

“So why are you here?” She asked again.
Nancy stared at her still thinking of what to say that would start a war between the two of them.

“He destroyed my career because I wouldn’t get rid of his baby and now I’m about to be homeless thanks to him. Tell him that I had the abortion now, and very soon I will be moving in with him since I have no job,” she yelled.
“What? Was Deon ever your boyfriend?”

“Yes, we dated secretly and I got pregnant and he asked me to get rid of it and when I refused, he destroyed my career!”
“Tell me you are lying, can we talk?” Emily asked on the brink of tears,

Nancy turned around and hurried to the elevator before Emily could catch up with her, Nancy giggled as the elevator sunk lower and lower, 

“She thought she was hot and wild” Nancy laughed as she stepped out of the elevator while Emily went back into the Deon’s apartment feeling cheated and hurt.

“He told me we were going to work things out this time!” she screamed, “I promised to quit content creation and get a job just because of him!” she screamed again. Then her eye fell on the cigarette lighter lying on the center table and bit her lip. Today she had to say her final goodbye but she wasn’t going to leave peacefully.
He had hurt her over and over and now she was about to get back at him. She went to the centre table and picked up the lighter and then a smile crept up on her face.
