Jeff smiled. “I will make sure you lose everything and come groveling at my feet!!!”
“And am so sorry Jeff, it will never happen. If you think all this will gaht me groveling at my feet, then you’re the biggest fool ever.”
“You think I’m the biggest fool?” Jeff frowned at him, getting angry.
“Yes, you’re the biggest fool and I’m going to prove it to you. I’m gonna make sure you lose everything for messing with me Jeff.” he pulled out a recorder from his shirt pocket and Jeff’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You…” he came at Dee with full force but Dee docked away from him smiling. “Thank you for admitting to everything Jeff. You made my case quite easier to solve. I knew you were the one, but I wanted you to admit it, and you clearly did that without stressing me around. ” he laughed while Jeff looked on at him with terror on his face.
“You will meet my lawyers soon, Jeff.” he said and barged out of his office.
*You can make a grown man cry…if you ever say goodbye…Never let you go ooo…You can make a grown man cry…if you ever left my side…Never let you go ooo…If my love, ain’t your love…* NOBODY’S LOVE by Maroon 5.
“Please take my call Dee.” Diane pleaded as she paged him nonstop but he wouldn’t take her calls or reply her texts.
*If my love, ain’t your love…Its never gonna need nobody’s love. Never gonna need nobody’s love but yours…If my love, ain’t your love…It’s never gonna need nobody’s love. Never gonna need nobody’s love but yours…*
She was frustrated. Is this how she’s gonna lose Dee. She dug her hands into her hair feeling so frustrated and done for. She texted;
*Dee, please. Take my call.* he read it but no reply. She felt like her whole world suddenly came crashing on top of her. She ruined everything with her own hands.
How will she fix this? Who can she turn to? Jasmine…yes! She needs to talk to Jasmine. She told herself as she hurried to her closet, to grab her coat and take her car keys.

“Jasmine, he’s so angry with me. He won’t even take my calls. He won’t reply my texts. He won’t even give me a chance to explain myself.”
“Why did you go see Jeff? You know that Jeff is your ex, not like you both parted on good terms.”
“That’s my own mistake and am so sorry about it. I shouldn’t have done that. ”
Jasmine sighed. She tried calming Diane’s nerves. “He’s going through a lot now. All you need to do give him time to sort himself out. He needs to be alone right now.”
“Buh is he gonna talk to me? I know I messed up so much but is he gonna forgive me?”
“He’s not angry with you, he just needs time to sort himself out. He needs space right now.”
“So I should give him space?”
Jasmine nodded.

“Mr. Damien, stop sulking and eat some food.” De_ra said placing a plate of food on his table. But Dee won’t bulge as he lay on his bed.
“Just go De_ra. I’m fine. Just go.” he said.
“Miss Veronica have been taking care of things in every way she can. She phoned…”
“I don’t want to hear of anything. Just go please.”
“I can’t leave you in this state. ” she sat down on his bed beside him. She felt his forehead and it was steaming hot. “Oh my gosh! Dee, you’re burning up pretty badly.” she said and rushed to his bathroom to get a bowl. She grabbed a towel and filled the bowl with water. She came back and sat down on the foot of his bed. She undid his duvet so that enough air will get into his skin.
He caught her hand in the mid air when she wanted to unbutton his shirt.
“De_ra what do you think you’re doing? I thought I asked you to leave.”
“You’re burning right now and you tell me to leave. If you want me to leave, you better get well.” she said and forced his shirt open.
He couldn’t fight her. He was too weak to do so. He wondered why Diane wasn’t here yet or is she still going through what happened earlier?
De_ra placed a cold wet towel on his forehead. “Just get better and I will Fuçk out of this place.”
She do squeeze the towel after a while and then place it on his forehead, after some minutes, she’d place it on his chest. She’d repeat the process over and over again before she’d check his body temperature.
Next morning,
Dee stirred on the bed and then opened his eyes. He was shirtless. He gasped as he saw De_ra lying by his side sleeping soundly. He wanted to touch and wake her up but then changed his mind. She can have all the bed to herself…he thought as he came down from his bed and grabbed a shirt from his closet and headed out of his room.
Halfway into the kitchen; “Dee, are you feeling okay now?” De_ra’s voice sounded from behind him. He halted in his steps and turned to look at her. “I told you to leave last night.”
“But you were sick! I couldn’t leave a sick person and just go.” she replied.
“You should’ve left. I don’t want Diane to misunderstand when she sees you here.”
“Oh, you are worried about what she will think? Dee,” she came close to him.”After all she did?”
“De_ra, you can leave now and thank you for taking care of me when I couldn’t.”
“Dee, I was so worried. I can’t even ask you how you’re doing now. I can’t even touch…” she made to touch his forehead while he pulled back. “…” to touch your forehead.”
“Thanks for taking care of me. But, can’t you stop all these emotions you’re wasting on me? Can’t you just give up on me? I have a lot on my plate right now to start worrying about you too.”
“Dee…”
He held her shoulder.”Please, do me this favor De_ra. I want you to stop loving me. Please.”
