CHAPTER 2

-YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND.-

Herald lied. He wasn't always in the office till 12:00 midnight. He worked until 8:00pm and afterwards he would leave to go and be with Cheryl at her condo which was at the heart of their small town, High-rise.

"What did you do?" Herald asked Cheryl as soon as he walked into her house.

" I have done what you have been so afraid of doing," Cheryl said.

" From the moment you met me and loved me you have kept on promising me that you will tell her about me but you took too long. I can't keep on waiting.So, I had to take matters into my own hands," Cheryl added.

" Fuck!" Herald said and went to sit on the sofa.

" I think the word should be thank you. I am just trying to help you do what you have been afraid to do for a long time," Cheryl said and Herald knew that she was right.

" I know," He said, remaining quiet just as Cheryl went to massage his neck from behind.

" Don't get confused, you are not attracted to her anymore. I am the woman who excites you. I know you guys had a wedding six months ago, I warned you, didn't I? But you didn't listen. Now, you have to do the right thing," Cheryl whispered to his ears.

" Which is?" Herald asked.

" You will have to divorce her." Cheryl said and Herald got off his chair and started pacing around.

" What! No! I cannot divorce her," Herald said.

" You will have to. I am the ultimate prize, never forget that. You have never been in love with her, it's been a long while since you last made love to her." Cheryl said.

" But what about her? This will completely shatter her heart. She is weak and emotional." Herald said.

" Since when have you started feeling sorry for her? The last time I checked, you loved fucking me. You begged me to be fully yours and that's why I did. It's your time to return that favour. It's your time to be fully mine. Show me that you love me," Cheryl said.

Herald knew that Cheryl was right. Who is he kidding? What he feels for Cheryl cannot be compared to what he feels for Maya.

He stopped loving her. Right now he only thinks about Cheryl. Cheryl is the woman of his dreams hence he needs to divorce Maya so that he can have a superb future with Cheryl.

" I am giving you only two days to divorce her. If not, I will leave you for someone else," Cheryl gave him an ultimatum.

" Come on, don't do this," Herald begged. He didn't like ultimatums especially now that she mentioned that she can leave him for another man. He truly loves her and it would break him to see her in the arms of another man.

" Divorce her and you will have me for the rest of your life," Cheyl told him and Herald knew for sure that he better call his lawyers to get him the divorce papers.

He cannot afford to lose Cheryl, Maya has to go.

" That aside, aren't you going to give me a kiss and more?" Herald asked, winking at her.

" You know I am here to address all your needs, right?" Cheryl said as she ran her tongue over her lower lip seductively.

The more Herself kept on seeing Cheryl, the more he lost control.Cheryl knew the buttons to pull when it came to him. She knew how to turn him on ten times more than Maya has ever attempted to. She knew where to touch, where to kiss, where to suck and where to lick.

Maybe this is what he has always wanted, forget the down to earth shit. Being a billionaire is tasking and he needed to be with someone who took care of him. Cheryl has played that part very well and soon, he was going to award her for it.

" I have new lingerie. It's red, which is your favourite colour. I swear, this is going to be the night that you will never forget. Many nights will come each better than this as long as you promise me to get Maya out of the way," Cheryl promised.

" Done, consider it done," Herald said. At this point in time, her wish was his command.

**

Maya couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning. What made it worse was that Herald didn't come home that night or the next morning. This was the first time that he was not sleeping at home. Could it be that he was mad at her for questioning him or there is something more to it? She couldn't understand.

Maya got out of bed and took a shower. She wore a white shift dress and heels before taking her handbag. She didn't have time for coffee. She wanted to go and see Herald and ensure that he was alright. The last thing that she wanted was for them to fight.

Maya got to the office but Herald was not in sight. He asked the secretary but he mentioned that he left early in the night. Listening to this made Maya feel helpless. Where could he be? She looked everywhere he could be but was not able to find him. Since she could not concentrate at work, she decided to go back home and wait for him to come home to her.

Hardly had Maya settled when she heard the doorbell. She was excited, all the worry that she had completely disappeared. She knew that this was it. Finally Herald has come home to her.

She rushed downstairs ready to give him a warm hug. She was about to do that when Cheryl walked in.

No, there is no way this can be true.

" You asked about Cheryl and I figured that I should bring her home so that the two of you can talk," Herald announced and Maya's heart skipped a mighty beat.
