Chapter 63: teaching Cynthia a lesson
"How dare you slap me! what the fuck is wrong with you? You stumped into the office like you own it and decided to create a scene by hitting me? I'm not going to let this slide, Monalisa"
"Neither am I going to let the stunt you pulled back there slide you sly bitch!
"What...what stunt? Cynthia quickly cleared her throat. "What stunt did I pull? I pulled no stunt"
"Are you sure? You contracted someone to blackmail me and extort money from me all in the name of having some video that would ruin Jayden's reputation"
Cynthia stepped backwards as her eyes grew bigger and her jaw dropped. Her cheeks turned red and her eyes quivered.
"What? Cat's got your fucking tongue bitch!! Huh!! Tricia screamed at her.
"What the hell are you two saying? Contracted who to blackmail who? You two are definitely mad. you're raving mad. I did no such thing "
"You did. you met up with her .
"You've got no evidence to prove these accusations. They're just your words against mine"
"Oh, is that so? You think I would skip work and march down here to hit you and accuse you without gathering enough evidence to destroy you bitch?
"What the fuck are you saying?
"Yes. Thank goodness she confessed to it"
"She confessed?
"Why? Are you surprised? Shocked and scared right?
"No. You should be the one scared. At least I know your little secret " she scoffed.
I smacked her face again and pulled her by her hair while she screamed at me to let her go.
"Listen to me bitch! I'm not going to sit still and watch you ass hole ruin my marriage. Stay away from my husband or else....I doubt your body will be found when I'm done teaching you a lesson "
"That's enough! Jayden's voice thundered through the room. "What ib the fucking name is going on here? For goodness sake...this is an a
office and should be treated so." Jayden turned to me and our eyes met. "My office you two, now!
He ordered us and went away.
Cynthia and I followed him immediately.
I shut the door at Cynthia's face and grabbed a seat.
Jayden settled in and stared at us with his eyes full of fury and disgust.
"So, you two decided to turn my company into a circus show and entertain the staff, right?
"No, not really " I replied.
"Really? So tell me. what's what I saw out there all about, because I saw you grabbing her hair. What were you two doing? Salsa dancing or probably tango?
"No. I had come to confront her for her evil plot she made to ruin us"
"Evil plot?
"That's a lie sir. She came in like a storm and hit me so hard that I lost my balance. She is a storm and her friend is a tornado. They literally beat me up. They think you are cheating on her with me, so they had come to warn me and beat me up. I pleaded with them that Sir Jayden loves her so much and wouldn't cheat on her. She didn't believe me"
"Shut up or I smack your mouth out of its socket, you slimy bitch! I feel like killing her. Of course I believe one hundred percent in Jayden and I know he wouldn't cheat on me, especially not with a low life like you "
"Low life? How am I a low life?
"You are worse than that. You cheap whore".
"Enough!! Jayden screamed at us hitting his hands on the table. "I said that's enough. What the hell is wrong with you two. Monalisa, tell me the reason you are here in my office, beating up my staff"
"Of course I will. Like I said earlier, she was plotting something evil..."
"I wasn't plotting anything " Cynthia interjected
"Shut up Cynthia and let her speak. You'll get your time to do so"
"Thank you babe" I said glaring at Cynthia. "She made a ruthless plan to ruin us. She hired someone to blackmail me and ask for money. The blackmailer lied that she has something that... no, a video of us making out and also...of you with different women and threatened to upload it. I finally tracked her down and confronted her. She confessed that this bitch right here had paid her to do so"
Jayden leaned back folding his hands close to his chest and his eyes grew bigger.
"You did that Cynthia? Wow! I'm not surprised at all. It's something you can do"
"You believed her? That's all a lie. She created this lie to cover up her secret "
"What secret is she covering up?
"I've got no secret. She's trying to put up some lies as an excuse"
"Monalisa...let her speak. Go ahead Cynthia, what secret"
"The fact that her mum is alive and she's not in good terms with her mum. She lied to us all that she is an orphan"
"What the hell are you saying? Jayden asked sitting up immediately.
"Want to know more?
"Shut up!!! You lying bitch!!!
"Your Monalisa..." she scoffed. "Isn't innocent after all. I mean...I wonder what she did that got her ousted from home"
"I got ousted from home?
"Yes " Cynthia smirked."Change the story and get her to be out with the truth herself. Lovely plan" she mumbled.
"So...you hired a lady to blackmail my wife? And you met my wife's mother? What did you meet...her ghost? "I'm fed up with your bullshit Cynthia. Out of my office this instance"
"But sir .. she's really lying. I did no such thing"
"I was traumatized. The blackmailer almost ruined us. I lost my mind, racing against time to get to her."
"And why didn't you come to me babe" Jayden said reaching out to my hands across the table and held them.
"I wanted to but I was scared that you might react in such a way that would trigger her to upload the video. Your reputation would have been tarnished. But I believed strongly that she was lying because I know you are not such a person that would go about sleeping with different women. I trust you babe and I love you so much"
"Give me a break. I'm about to puke" Cynthia angrily got up.
"I need a hug. I'm traumatized "
"Yes babe "
Jayden moved to me and got me out of my seat, giving me a warm hug.
My eyes and Cynthia's eyes met and my eyes laughed mockingly at her.
She clenched her palms and angrily walked out of the office.
I won again
.But I was pretty scared. She knows my past.Not that mum was alive, she knows everything. Mum blurted out everything.
After having a moment with Jayden, I left his office to meet up with Tricia who was waiting eagerly for me.
"What happened in there?
"We won"
"We won? over what?
"That bitch. She tried to play her cards, but she had no idea I had both the king and the queen's cards. I did beat her to her own game"
"You know what Monalisa?
"What?
"I love this new you. Ever since you got married to Jayden, you have become smarter and wise. I love it"
"You think it's Jayden's effect?
"Yes. or have you always being like this?
"Maybe I have. Thank you so much Bess, for being there for me and also supporting me to deal with that bitch"
"I'm at your service Bess"
we both hugged and walked out of the office.
I dropped Tricia off at her office and drove down in school.
Though I defeated Cynthia, but I'm pretty unsettled that Cynthia have those information about me and I do not know what might be her next move to hurt me.
