CHAPTER 60: THE SELLOUT
Inside a dark and littered room, Georgina’s pictures could be seen pasted on the wall of the room and the room feels so gloomy that you will think that someone is mourning.
“You are already married, “the drunk man says, looking at Georgina’s picture in his hands.
“How could you get married when we promised to be together forever”.
“How could you leave me hanging when you promised to be there for me always”.
“So, what changes? Why did you get married!” the man yelled maniacally throwing things across the room.
“I am going to get you back no matter how it is. I am going to get you back and we will be together without anyone disturbing us,” he says with a resolved look.
“Of course you love me there is no way you forgot about me so, I am very sure that we are meant for each other”.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I will get you back no matter what”.

“So, you decided you burn down the whole house tonight,” Victoria says, choking on her words at the kitchen entrance watching Olivia performing sorcery in the name of cooking.
“Recognizing good food is an art on its own,”Olivia says, defending herself.
” What is the name of the burnt offering that I am looking at?”Victoria asked, pointing at the burnt food in the saucepan that Olivia is about to discard.
“I was trying to make some chicken soup but it seems like I miss some ingredients”.
“You miss some ingredients or you didn’t add water at all, “Victoria asked, shocked not believing that anyone could get chicken soup that burnt.
“It looks like I didn’t prepare enough for the art so, I will urge us to go out and get something to eat”.
“I was about to say that and I think it’s high time you stop cooking. I don’t want to get to the house one day and find it all burnt to the ground so, just stick to your exclusive reports,” Victoria says going out.
I also went to my room to change but when I decided to change I noticed my phone beep and when I checked the content of the message I got shocked.
“Hi Ollie, it’s Douglas I am sorry to be texting you so late but I just want to ask if you want to grab dinner with me, “the message says and I laughed at how Douglas is playing smart with me.
“If I bring Tori what’s in for me”I texted back frankly.
“I will give you an exclusive”the reply came in instantly and I smiled at the message of another day off for Mama because I know my grumbling boss will appreciate an exclusive.
“Ollie can we go now it’s late already, “I heard Victoria say and I quickly rushed out of my room.
“It’s not that late Tori, it’s still 7”.
“Did you think Georgina is doing fine?”Victoria asked worriedly.
“You know Georgina well she can’t be bullied. I think you should be worrying about the other party because I don’t think she will go easy on them, “I say, dragging Victoria outside with me.
“I still think we should have taken our car along,” Victoria says for the umpteenth time while getting out of the cab we board. I just sneered knowing taking our car would have spoiled the plan I have for later.
“And can you please tell me what the hell are we doing in this high-end restaurant,” Victoria asked, cocking her eyebrow looking at the restaurant in front of her and I gulped my saliva not knowing what to say.
“We are just going to grab dinner, nothing else, “I say, pushing her into the restaurant even though she is making a lot of fuss about it.
Inside the restaurant, anxious Douglas could be seen fidgeting and looking at the room entrance.
Wondering why the two were not there yet and he panicked maybe Olivia has bailed on him
“Did you have to resort to that shameless act just because you wanted to eat with her?” Frederick asked with a raised eyebrow not believing that I could act like that.
Why does everyone have to act like a foolish man when it comes to love?
“I would even do a lot of more shameless acts so I could get to hold her hands, “Douglas says daydreaming and Frederick just shakes his head not believing.
“I heard Bradley is taking Georgina to his family today did you think they will be fine,” Frederick says
“I am sure Bradley will take care of it and I don’t….”Douglas was saying but got interrupted by his phone beeping.
“Did you have a rope over there” the message reads and Douglas squints his eyes not understanding what the messages say.
“What’s going on, “Frederick asked and Douglas shows him the message Frederick also gets confused by the message’s content but before they could deliberate on what it is the door to the room opened Victoria was pushed in and Olivia also entered.
Author’s note: Why did you think the men needed to get a rope ready?
