TOXIC ATTRACTION

TOXIC ATTRACTION EPISODE THIRTY

Richard was angry at Rebekah and nervous at the same time about Robina going to his place. It was late in the ight and even id he wanted to send Rebekah away with the kid he could not. Not that he thought the child was his but its the way Rebekah showed up unannounced and was about to cause some serious problems. Rebekah was some sort of Richard's one night stand and he never thought she would have anything to do with him. When the two met, it was inna night club where Richard had gone to ease his stress and paused like done Rich guy on a wheelchair that only the girl that attempted to know him got to know that he was really loaded. When he went to the club, he was with Santos and that night he paused as the millionaire Richard not the dude everyone overlooked. Rebekah was one of those ladies who went to a club with an agenda and when she learned just how cashed Richard was, she wanted to find a way to tap into that overflow of cash and good treatment. She had it in mind that she could bare with the invalid part pf him as long as he had money but first, she needed to lay a trap for him.

Richard: you need to leave. My wife is on hee way.

He said putting the baby on her lap and forcing her to get up. She did but it was not going to be easy for Richard to throw her out. She was not going to let him.

Rebekah: I'm not going anywhere, your wife will have to know that she has a co wife and a step son who will be an air to all these not so attractive things. I thought you were some sort of a rich guy, I'm baffled you live in such a place..

He chucked his wallet from the back pocket and pulled out some money and gave it to her. He then forcefully dragged her out and asked her to get a cab to her place and he would talk to her some other day because that night was very crucial, it was the one night that was going to determine if Robina was going to come back and stay or if he had lost her to Davis.

Rebekah: I don't think you heard me right. I'm not going..you think.money will but my silence?.

Richard: what are you talking about. I'm bot Buying anything. I don't owe you anything. That's not my child, we did it once and we used protection.

Rebekah: for the first round.

Richard: leave.. Whatever you want tp discuss you can look for me tomorrow and who showed you this place anyway?.

She didn't answer but picked her baby's bag then kept the money in her bra and she picked her baby and left. Richard saw her to the door then took a deep breath when he got back into the house. Richard went for his wheelchair in the bedroom and put it in the livingroom where he could just sit if he heard a knock on the door. That night he did not cook but ordered some food immediately Rebekah left.

Mark was in his house working on his laptop when he heard a knock on the door. He put the laptop on the table and excitedly walked to the door expecting to find Robina. Not that she had said she was coming but he hoped she would show up now that she knew she was welcomed and could show up anytime she wanted to. He pulled the door open with a smile on his face and on seeing Diana his smile faded.

Diana: I'm sorry to disappoint, obviously bot the face you expected to see.

She let herself in and Mark closed the door then followed her inside and watched her sit and take off her jacket. He and Diana had nit agreed that she could just show up at his house but to her she felt like sleeping on marks bed for the start of her forcing her way into his life. She was in love with him and she had to do whatever it takes to get him.

Mark: Diana we spoke about this.

He said sitting on the same spot he had sat on when he was working on his laptop.

Diana: which part exactly because I don't remember us doing alot of talking, we were busy with other things.

Mark: i told you I'm not into you like that..

Diana: but you felt nice digging into me, pulling my hair and slapping my ass. I know you are not in love with me and I'm here for fun..we are adults right, whatever happens in here remains in here. I will eventually move on from you.

Mark: not when we keep diving under sheets. I like someone else and I don't want to give her a reason to think I'm some player and you, let's not even start thinking what Richard will do to me ot he finds out I'm sleeping around with his little sister.

She got up from her seat and walked up to Mark and sat on him and hand her arm over his shoulder.

Diana: i need some advice..

She said throwing the other arm over his shoulder and looking into each other's eyes, she now had his attention.

Mark: I don't think I'm the right person to give you some advice. You have your mother, big brother and even Richie.. you should talk to them.

Diana: not when it feels like they are holding something from me. I feel like mum and Richard know something they dont want me and my other siblings to know.

Mark: then confront them.

Diana: its not that easy. Can i tell you something that should be a secret?..

Mark: yeah..

He tried to look away but Diana kept his face straight. She wanted him to look at her while she talked as maybe he would notice how beautiful she was.

Diana: the other say i saw mum and Robina's father on a date. You know Robina right?.

Mark: the same woman you told your brother i was sleeping with.

Diana: damn! I'm sorry about that. Why would my mother and Robina's father meet in a restaurant and seem to be having dome sort of a heart to heart conversation?.

Mark: did you hear what they were talking about?.

Diana: no. But from where I was, I could read their body language. It was not an ordinary in-law conversation.

Mark: what are you saying, you think Robina's father and your mother are having an affair?..

Diana: i can't conclude on that right now but it bothers me..do you think I'm being paranoid?.

Mark: not exactly. Sometimes we should just trust our instincts but if you really want to know just ask.

She took a deep breath and now they were staring at each other deep in the eyes. She dropped her eyes to his lips and gently rubbed the back of his head. He had been holding her waist all along and for some reason he slid his hand to her back beneath her top.

Diana: why don't you find me beautiful Mark, why can't you look at me the way you look at other women?.

She asked pressing herself against him and touching his lips then tracing it with her finger.

Mark: you are beautiful. You know you are and you can get any man you want. You are just looking in the wrong places.

Diana: i don't want any other man. I want you.

She kissed him.

Diana: you know how to touch, you know how to kiss .

She kissed him again..

Diana: and you know how to satisfy me in bed. You are gentle and very romantic..

He blushed a little and he kissed her back this time round.

Diana: I'm not asking for your heart or anything in return. I just want you, i want to spend a little time with you. Maybe you'll get to know me better.

He unhooked her bra when the kissing got intense. He pulled off her top and gently caressed her chest then lay her on the sofa and kissed her. She pulled his tshirt off and sandwiched him between her legs.

I got to Richard's place and when i knocked, it took him a few minutes to open the door and when he did, I pushed him back on his wheelchair and when we got to the living room, he spread his arms ready for a hug and i bent over and hugged him. I then sat on the couch and he smiled. He was happy to see me and for a second i was too because it's not easy to say but i had missed him.

When i was kidnapped by Richard, he made sure he gave me everything i could ask for. I found purpose sharing in taking care of him and after the few weeks of taking him to the bus stop and waiting for him and cooking him dinner, i felt like it made me appreciate the things i took for granted like the fact that i could actually walk on my own two legs, and be able to do things on my own. I had made peace with the fact that i was his wife and on going there that day, i had made up my mind that i was going to stay. Maybe that was my rib and maybe i had taken so much for granted in life that Richard was Gods way of humbling me. In our exchange of words, i had told Richard nasty stuff which some i regretted but i wanted him to know that i was not just going to sit around and watch him pour his frustrations on me, i was going to defend myself with Whatever it took.

Richard: I'm happy you came..

Me: yeah, it was uncomfortable having dinner with Susan and her man anyway.

Richard: I ordered for dinner. I got home and realized there was nothing to cook.

Me: that's okay. I hope you ordered enough because i now eat for two. You know that right?..

He remembered the photo that was sent to him by Julia who acted as an anonymous person but nodded before she could notice his thoughts had drifted.

Richard: you threatened to get rid of him, i hope you changed your mind.

Me: i did. I don't want to live my life in regrets.

He smiled. Not the genuine type of a smile but the type of smile that was laced with doubt and uncertainty.

A few minutes later there was a knock and Richard said it was the delivery guy. He got some money and gave it to me so that i could pay the delivery guy. I walked to the door and when i opened it, some woman was standing by the door carrying a baby in her arms. I was taken a back by how she sized me before pushing me out of her way and making her way inside.

Richard: Rebekah!.

He shouted almost like he was not expecting her to show up or she was someone that was supposed to remain unseen like a ghost.

Rebekah: I've changed my mind. Its very late and I don't want me and my son to be kidnapped because from the look of things, you don't even have the ransom to pay for us. She turned to me and i was standing there staring blankly obviously confused about the drama that was unfolding on my face.

Rebekah: I'm Rebekah, the first wife. And you are?..

I looked at her then at Richard. I didn't know what was going on and i didn't want to be a part of it. I drooped the money on the table, picked my purse and phone and was ready to leave but she stopped me.

Rebekah: you are not going anywhere darling. I have a lot to tell you about our man here. For instance did you know that he can actually.....

Richard cleared his throat and interrupted before Rebekah could actually expose him. He was so mad that if it were upto to him, he would detach her heart from the chest snd leave her heartless because he didn't understand her agenda because he knew there was no way he could have fathered Rebekah's child because she was a club w***e who slept with any other man.

Me: somebody tell me what the hell is going on here...

There was silence..

Me: Richard... Start taking!.

Rebekah: well, if he is too shocked to talk, then I'll tell you everything!.. are you ready for the truth?..

I was scared of what the truth in this case was going to turn out to be...
