Erica woke up the next morning, Mikel by her side. His hand was on her waist. Erica moved his hand away and wanted to stand up but he pulled her back down.
"Sleep" he commanded
"I don't want to" she told him bluntly.
"Are you disobeying me?" He questioned her.
"No it's just that....., she didn't have any excuse in mind.
Mikel angrily got out of the bed heading straight to the bathroom. Erica was confused, did she say anything bad but she was happy he left. She went to her own room.
He was mad about her taking contraceptives and now, he's angry because she didn't want to sleep
A/N : the other time he forces her, he doesn't release inside her.
She got ready for work . She saw the so called Natalie. She was holding a coffee mug.
She tried avoiding the girl but no, the so called girl wouldn't leave her.
"Oops, were you going this way?" She asked smirking.
Erica ignored her and Tried moving the other way but Natalie blocked her, she tried again but to no avail. Suddenly Natalie pretended as if she fell spilling the coffee on her.
Instead of apologizing, she started laughing . Erica became mad. She grabbed her by her hair immediately.

Carolina and Adam went to the boutique to choose Carolina's wedding dress. She kept on fitting and fitting but no one seemed perfect in her eyes.
She asked Adam for advice who ignored her and continued with his phone.
She got mad throwing the dress away and walking out.
Adam saw her and followed her.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked as if he didn't know.
"Why are you pretending? You snubbed me back there treating me like a complete shit, do you know because of what you did, those lowly workers will think low of me"
Adam didn't reply her. He wasn't in the mood for all this. She kept on ranting and ranting. Erica was never a problem like this. If he said A she would agree immediately not Carolina who would force him to take B.
"You know what you are just a pest" he told her.
"Did you just call me a pest Adam?"
"you heard me right, you just keep on nagging and nagging like a pregnant woman, even Erica is much better than you"
"Did you just fucking compare me with that bitch Adam?" Carolina asked. Her voice shaking.
"Please Don't start with those crocodile tears of yours, I ain't in the mood"
Carolina bit her lips.
"I fucking hate you Adam, I hate you, since the day you saw my sister at the wedding, few days later, you've been acting strange, you only show me love when you are fucking me but other times you treat me distant, don't you love me anymore?" She questioned.
"Don't start please I'm begging you" he joined his palm together towards her.
A tear slipped out of Carolina's face.
"If you don't love me tell me!! Fucking tell me!!!" Carolina started shouting. Adam looked around, people were passing. What's she doing?
This made him very mad.
"Tell me if you don't love me anymore"
"Let's end this relationship" Adam finally said.
"What?" Carolina could only say.
"Let's end all this bull shit, you driving me crazy, you nag all day, I'm fed up, I don't want it anymore , get out!" He shouted, got into the car and drove off leaving Carolina flabbergasted.

Natalie was on the floor and Erica was on top punching her. John came immediately carrying her. Erica moved her legs aggressively but John was strong enough pulling her out.
Mikel came in soon after. The office became dead silent. Most of the workers hyping Natalie even if she was the one beaten kept quiet.
Mikel walked in with full authority, his hand in his pocket.
He looked at Natalie who's hair was disheveled and cloth torn and bruises. He looked at Erica who looked ok but had a scratch on her forehead which was bleeding blood.
"You're fired" he said.
Natalie smiled. Mikel was looking at Erica. She couldn't believe this man but she misunderstood. They all did.
"Didn't you hear Natalie, your fired for laying your hands on my wife" Mikel explained still looking at Erica.
What followed next were gasps.
