I bravely opened the door for Tony who gasped with surprise as he saw me.
โoh gracious lord. You are here?โ he exclaimed curiously. I nervously smiled and made way for him to enter the room while Jenifer turned her back on us.
โso you know?โ he asked suspiciously.
โknow about what?โ i murmured, pretending to be confused.
โyea i called your friend first thing today. I told him about your games. Just leave my houseโ Jenifer cut in with anger, saving me a whole lot of explanation. I breathed deeply and smiled with relief.
โi have things under control. Just respect her wish and leave for the moment. Iโll brief you laterโ i said to him convincingly. He drew back and gave me a look of trust.
โcan you fix things for me?โ he asked hopefully.
โof course my friend. Iโll, and before i forget, please give me Ireneโs Phone number. I hope she has leftโ i said curiously.
โyea i sent her home very early in the morningโ he answered weakly, sharing the girlโs number with me. Moments after, he left unceremoniously, leaving me alone with Jenifer.
โso the girl, who is she?. You canโt believe the shock i got seeing her in his house. Goshโ Jenifer vibrated angrily.
โher name is Irene. She used to be Tonyโs fiancee, until he met youโ i answered truthfully, drawing out a very fierce gaze from the shocked girl.
โi still canโt believe Tony could do such a thing to meโ she cried softly, while i rolled my eyes with satisfaction. I couldnโt help but imagine the scene that was created in Tonyโs house the previous evening.
โi canโt believe things are just going as expectedโ i chuckled happily, my imaginations instantly going wild with all i planned doing with the decieved girl.

โif you are in my shoes, what will you do?โ Jenifer asked painfully. Her swollen eyes and coloured face melted my heart, giving me great urge to go forward and hug her but i held myself.
โ if iโm in your position, all i will do is simply shut down my heart and take time in thinking and studying the situation. This isnโt the time a lady should have hopes on a guy who has another girl in his path. You know time waits for nobody and i know the best advice is the one you can give yourself. I have to leave nowโ i calmly said to her, smiled and left without another word.
It was now a matter of time before she erases Tony from her heart to give me the opportunity i had always hoped for. She always had feelings for me and so i knew there wonโt be any difficulty for her moving on with me.
My only fear was Tonyโs reaction, because i knew how ruthless he could be when provoked.
My mind really wasnโt at ease as i headed over to his house as i left Jeniferโs apartment. I had no news to share with him but had to go see him anyway.
On getting to Tonyโs house, i discovered he was very nervous and uneasy. It touched my heart but i quickly pushed aside my conscience..
โwhatโs up?โ he asked,
โshe needs time bro, just give her time. I know she will come aroundโ i said to my friend who frowned unhappily.
โyou mean i should stay away from her?, cโmon thatโs impossible. Do you want me to die with grief?โ he cried. I smiled and tapped his shoulder.
โnot only should you stay away from her for the moment, also donโt disturb her with your phone calls, at least for a week. Believe me, iโm speaking from experienceโ i said while he breathed deeply, looking down.
โYou know I almost killed Irene yesterday. I was taking my bath when Jenifer surprisingly showed up. The two ladies almost tore each other apart. I feel so bad for hitting Irene mercilessly after Jenifer left, and early this morning i had to throw her out in a very degrading manner. I feel so ashamed bro. I donโt have your level of education but i know what is right. Moreover i have my dignity and integrity to protectโ he poured out painfully.
โcโmon bro, stop whinnying like a lady. Everything happens for a purpose. Just think positively huhโ i advised seriously as if i was watching his back as a friend.
________
The next day, Irene honoured my invitation and came over to my office. The frown on her face told me the true condition of her feelings and it was something i was hoping to cash in on.
โJust like i told you on phone yesterday, I want to help you secure your fiancee Tony, but it all depends on you. Are you willing to play or not??โ I asked the lost girl with a cunning smile which played down my lips.
