15. Pretence

ANNIE'S POV

I informed Mike and he followed me but he was a bit far from me, I went to the washroom to take care of my business when I was returning, I did not walk in the same direction I came but Mike didn't say anything so I continued, he was still following me meaning am not lost so I didn't panic.

I passed by a room that was ajar and I was able to see the person sitting in the room, the room looks like an office but what is he doing, I walked into the room with anger but I made sure my emotions are not seen on my face. Leonard was sitting while a girl I'd never met before is busy eating his face.

I thought he said I am the only woman he has ever klissed and the only woman, he will ever kiss. It is all a lie, it hurt soo much to be lied to and disrespected in this manner.

I stood there and watch them till they realised the presence of another person in the room. Leonardo bastard Dicosta can never change, I was a fool to believe his lies. I pretended not to be affected. I was passing by when I saw the door ajar so I decided to come and say hi, the girl was still sitting on him and he didn't push her off himself. I left without another word with tears streaming down my face. I saw Mike at the entrance of the room, did you know this is his office? Her responded I thought you know this club belongs to him but I didn't know there is any activity going on, otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed you to go in there. but there was no surprise in the girl's eyes, When we reach the dance floor there was a commotion, we walked closer only to be met by some men causing trouble and the person who is the centre of attention is my friend, Lena, they wanted to drag lena away while about five of the men restraining Frank. Where do you think you are dragging her to? "Ooh look this slut is even prettier, we are going to have fun with you girls tonight, I like feisty women like you," the man holding Lena said with his brownish tooth.

I said to Mike, make sure no one takes a video, Mike and another security took the phones from people who tried to record what is going on, I was angry because of Leonardo's unfaithfulness and now a bunch of idiots trying to harass my friend. Do you think, you and your local gang can walk into this club and drag any woman you want away? By the count of five let her go and you fools too let the gentleman go.

"And who are you to tell us what to do" he fires back.

I will be your worse nightmare if you don't obey my command, one! Two! "come to Daddy little feisty" I didn't wait till three before I shot the man's hand that was holding the gun that was pointed at my friend before everyone recovers, the rest of the men holding Frank were on the floor screaming, I was fast that no one saw me when I removed my gun from my pocket, the people didn't see the time I shot the other men too, I did not shot them to die.

The music was no longer playing so everyone can hear me. I shouted for everyone to hear my voice, I commanded the crowd, If anyone has recorded what transpired here if you love your life hand your phone over because if I catch you, I won't spare your life like these people. Security, go through the CCTV footage and point out those who have recorded what happened here, Lena is in Mike's arms crying, and while I am addressing the crowd, some of the security took the injured men away to God knows where.

They came back and took the phones of the stubborn ones that did not hand over their phone when I asked them.

This message goes to everyone, Anyone who will walk in here and create a problem will not leave here as he or she came, Good night and pretend you've never met me unless you don't love your life.

Dj let's continue climbing. Then he started playing the song and everything went back to normal. Lenaa was shivering, so I asked Mike to drive us home. Annie, you were awesome back there said Lena, I thought this girl was scared. Then I have nothing to worry about. I decided not to dwell on what I saw in there in Leonardo's office.

Lena, I thought you would be scared," I was scared when the man pointed the gun at me but, am still shaking I admire those women in action movies, as you did earlier.

Annie thank you so much for saving me from those men, don't mention Lena, what are friends for? Annie but where did you get the gun from? Your moments back then were so smooth and fast, is it another story of yourself you've not told me? Lena that is a story for another day. Don't think about it too much let's say I took a little lesson in handling guns she didn't say anything again throughout the drive.

I know she is thinking about what happened, we got home late, and when I checked on my phone, I saw several missed calls from Leonardo the bastard and my brother vicento. I planned to call him early tomorrow, he might be sleeping. As for Leonardo, I am not going to give in to his nonsense.

The next morning, at about 7 am I decided to visit the Dicosta mansion, that chronic womanizer has succeeded in moving half of my things into his mansion. So I am going to bring my things back to my home. When I got there, his maids were busy running around.

They become tensed upon seeing me. I walked to his room, I entered without knocking and what I saw didn't surprise me at all, he was half naked, while his new slut sleeps peacefully in his Arm. I took a picture of them and I went out, if I need to break this engagement between us, then I need evidence to back my claim.

I asked one of the maids to help me move my things into the car, I don't know what to do next, I am very hurt and broken, I don't know why I believed this bastard when he told me he has changed. Today is Saturday and I don't have much to do at home, I decided to call vicento.

hello vicento," Hello Princess are you? I am not fine, I want to go back to Italy. He becomes quiet on the phone, what did Leonardo do this time? I thought you guys are working things out.

We spoke for about five minutes then I hung up. I have decided to stick to my original plan.

I am not going to have any kind of relationship with Leonardo, he is my boss and I am his secretary. Nothing more, I will pretend nothing happened and from now onwards I don't have a fiance, he can do whatever he likes. I will make sure his action doesn't affect me.

It is another Monday again and I am prepared for work, I am going to face my problems and I won't run away from them. I decided to wear a deep blue three-quarters skirt and a burgundy off-shoulder blouse, matched with a pair of black heels and a black bag, I decided to let my hair down. I gave Milly a wave at the reception before proceeding to the cafeteria for the coffee for my boss.

I walked confidently as if I own the place, I knocked on his door once and I entered. The slut I met at the club and his room is sitting across from him in, Good morning sir, "Good Morning Miss Johnson" Did you see my missed calls he asked yes I did Mr Dicosta but I was too busy to return your calls.
