AMBER’S POV

 

.

 

I parked my car in the driveway and headed towards my office.

The minute I stepped into my office, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket so I

 

brought it out to answer. “Hello”

 

“So are you settled in?”

 

“Yes I am. how was the drive with Genie to school?”

 

“Beautiful as always. I’m having a great time being a Dad” he said and I smile “Thanks Miguel. you’re the best husband and father a woman could ask for” “Go on. I thrive on flattery” he said and we both ended up laughing. “So how about we have dinner later when you’re done with work?” “I don’t know”

 

“just dinner. nothing more I promise”

 

I stare at my desk, lost in deep thought.

 

“Bella?”

“Yes, sure why not”

 

“Thanks. oh and grandpa would be coming in three days time” he said and I heard him sigh on the other end. “Alright. we’ll prepare for his coming”

 

“thanks Amber. take care, I love you” he said and dropped the line before I could utter another statement. “I love you?” my mind kept saying. what does he mean by he loves me?

 

Did he just say it or does he mean it?

 

I mean it’s natural for people to say I love you to their loved ones after a call or something but… I don’t know. .I was lost in my own little reverie until I heard a grumble.

 

“Guess we’ll be free for another hour or two” Kim announced getting everyone’s attention.

 

“What’s going on?” I found myself asking

 

“Madam Denisha called for a board meeting I think.”

 

“What’s it for?”

 

 

“To discuss a new design or something. I’m not really sure but it looks like she has it covered though. almost makes it feel like we’re useless” she said with a sigh “Why so Hun?”

 

“We’re supposed to make designs Lady Bella cause that’s what we do and not sit around here doing nothing. I think you should just show the board your design, I’m sure they’ll approve it” Alyssa said and Alex nods

 

“All in good time dearies” I said with a smile and concentrated on a file on my

 

table.

 

.

 

“Are you okay Bella?”

 

I shrugged “Don’t I look okay?”

 

“You always do” Alex rushed his words and Kim gave him a playful shove while I chuckled.

 

“Thanks Alex. I love your great sense of humor but I can’t really do anything about it cause” I paused, flaunting my hands so they could see the ring on my finger. “He’s one lucky guy”

 

“He sure is” I smile and quickly brought out my phone to send a text message.

 

.

 

It wasn’t really up to an hour and thirty minutes when we heard screams and noises

 

coming from outside.

 

“What’s going on?” I ask

 

“I don’t know. let’s go check it out”

 

we all walked outside the office only to find Denisha in a heated argument with a cop.

 

Oh blessed Jesus!

 

what’s wrong this time?

 

“I’m telling you Officer. I’m not a Plagiarist. I’ve never stolen anything in my life so why Start now?”

 

I overheard her saying as I walked closer to get a better view of what was happening.

 

“What’s going on here?” Chad, asked rushing out of the board room.

 

“Baby” she called rushing into his arms as I rolled my eyes. what a drama queen! “These people were sent to arrest me when I haven’t done anything wrong. I don’t know who lodged a complaint against me but they’re obviously trying to frame me” she explained.

 

By now, the entire office was going haywire.

 

 

“Do you have any proof of the allegations placed on my wife?” Chad asked looking serious.

 

His lips were curled in anger like he would burst into a fit of rage anytime soon. “We received a call from Maria Sanchez. she’s a famous designer and your wife here stole her design to pass it off as hers” He said showing Chad the book containing the design.

 

“Maria what?” She exclaims “I haven’t even heard of this bitch”

 

“That was one of her top design from her fashion line. it’s on her page on the internet so how could you not know?” the other cop asked

 

“I swear on my life that I don’t know what’s happening right now. And that’s not even my design. it’s hers” she said pointing to me.

 

“So if you should arrest anyone for stealing then arrest her. it was her design” she

 

said and I could hear gasps.

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“Oh just admit it and stop playing dumb. after all I took it from your office” she blurts out

 

“So you’re finally admitting to the fact that you’re a thief then. how dare you enter my office without my permission? you have no right” I stated

 

“Oh please spare me that crap. you planned all of this, to frame me”

 

“How can I frame you when that’s not even my design?”

 

“Liar” she spat “I saw you draw this the day I walked into your office” she added “Fine. Kim, Alex, Alyssa” I called and they came rushing to where we stood “was this the design I showed you guys that day?” I say pointing at the paper. They took a close look at it and shook their heads. “It’s not this one” Kim mumbled

 

“It’s not even close to that one you drew”

 

“What?”

 

Chad held her shoulders so she could face him.

 

“So you tried stealing from Bella to pass it off as yours? why did you lie to me that you actually drew this?” he asked getting angrier by the minute.

 

“I’ll admit this design was in my office but I was only using it as a reference tool. every designer has books and magazines of different designs and I’m not an exception but I guess Denisha picked up the wrong book when she tried to steal from me” I explain and the officer nods in understanding.

 

She scoffs “What? you’re a cheap liar. you came into my office the other day telling me that you lost your sketch pad and that you were seriously looking for it” she adds

 

 

“Yes I thought I did but it was in my bag the whole time. I found it at home after a thorough search”

 

“You’re such a fu.cked up liar Bella” she yelled angrily

 

“Just shut up and admit that you’re wrong. you stole someone’s hard work to pass it off as yours? what is wrong with you? you tried stealing from Bella but look at how it turned out. just look at how you’ve humiliated yourself In front of all your employees” Chad reprimanded and I noticed her eyes well up.

 

“I have proof Chad,” she said with teary eyes “She’s trying to frame me. that day I entered her office, there was a cleaner who saw me take the book”

 

“And where is she?” Chad asked getting impatient by the minute “I’ll go get her”

 

“No stay here, someone else should go” he ordered and she was being called “please Mia, that day I got into Bella’s office, you did see me with a book right” she asked and Mia kept quiet, probably trying to remember.

 

“No I didn’t see you. remember, you asked me to leave immediately you walked in and I did so I really don’t know if you took something or not” Mia concluded “This is the Design I was working on that day you came into my office, I didn’t want to show you cause I wanted you to see it later when I put the finishing touches” I opened the book and everything was wowed.

 

I know I’m good. “If you had waited patiently then you wouldn’t be in this mess. I had high regard for you Director. I looked up to you but I never knew you would be this jealous to do this to me. you went as far as stealing from me to make yourself look great? what a shame but unfortunately you stole the wrong book” I add staring intently at her as panted like someone’s who’ve run out of oxygen. She stole from me before and got away with it but this time, NEVER! I’ll slowly show her true intentions to the world.

 

“Wow it’s beautiful”

 

A man standing next to me compliments.

 

I smile.

 

“Let’s go” the cop said pulling Denisha towards the door and outside to their car.

 

“Chad please help me” she screamed trying to get his attention while a small smirk

 

played in my lips.

 

.

 

“This is very beautiful. you drew this?” Another asked and I just nodded “We’re going to make a lot of profits selling out these. Bella organise a board meeting to show off your designs then we’ll start working on it straightaway.” he said

 

“Sure. I will. thank you”

 

“You’ve not only got the looks but the skills as well. I’m impressed” he patted my

 

shoulders lightly and everyone stormed out since the reason for the commotion has

 

been taken out.

 

.

 

it was just me and Chad standing there. he looked really worried and lost.

 

“Mr Ramsey” I called gently tapping his shoulders.

 

“Oh Bella you’re here. I thought you’ve left for your office” he said but couldn’t meet my gaze.

 

“I’m so sorry about your wife. I didn’t know who called the cops on her”

 

“I should be apologizing. she tried stealing from you. she’s just paying for her sins.” he said “I’ll go to the station to see if I can get her bailed out. I just hope Maria doesn’t file a complaint to take this to court” he adds “Let’s go. I’ll help you”

 

“You’re serious? After everything—”

 

“Oh please. it’s nothing. I don’t hold any grudge”

 

“Thank you”

 

“You’re welcome”

 

I officially welcome you to your doom.

 

I picked up my clutch and we both drove to the station.

 

Yes, I know what you must be thinking.

 

It was all part of my plan. I’m only recreating all the scenarios that happened to me.

 

I was locked in jail for a crime I didn’t commit so I thought to return the favour.

 

And I’ll also be the one to bail her out just like they did to me years ago.

 

Miguel and I knew everything about it and he helped me cause somehow he knew Maria. He pulled a few strings and viola! hot revenge served on a very beautiful dish. but we made sure Maria didn’t press any charges. .

 

we arrived at the station and after going through the formalities, she was released on bail.

 

The officer told us that Maria had a kind heart and she won’t be pressing charges.

 

Chad was pleased but I wasn’t. I wanted her to rot but I have to be careful.

 

“What are you doing here?” she asked immediately she was brought out of her cell. It wasn’t even up to thirty minutes and she looks like a mad woman. I wonder what’ll happen when she spends eternity in this dump. “Are you here to mock me again?” she yelled

 

“I came to do the opposite of mocking you. Help”

 

she scoffs “Huh. help? who are you trying to fool with your lies?”

 

“Just stop it Denisha. she’s the reason why you’re out of that goddamn prison. the least you can do is thank her not shout at her like she committed your crime” “My crime? are you being serious right now? She obviously planned all this. she’s out to get us”

 

“No it’s all in your head. if you didn’t try to steal then you wouldn’t be here. don’t tell me you’re still in denial of what has already happened” he said running his hands through his hair

 

she walked up to me and stood so close that our faces were inches apart from each other.

 

“I don’t know what you’re planning but it won’t work Bella”

 

it sounded almost like a threat.

 

“You need a cool shower to cool off. trust me you’re being delusional. I don’t know what that prison did to you but it’s starting to get in your head. trust me you’ll be fine” I said with a smile.

 

“I need to start going to the office Chad. I still have to take care of a few things” I announced

 

“I’ll drop you at work” he offered

 

“And what about me?”

 

“You’ve caused enough damage today at work so I think it’ll be better if you went home. call a cab” he said pulling towards the car and leaving Denisha speechless. “Thanks for today. I owe you one” he said once we were settled in. “You sure do” I smiled back at him

 

“Can we be friends?”

 

“your wife will not like the sound of that” I say and we both laugh.

 

“she won’t have a problem. whatever you need, just let me know. anyhow I can be of assistance to make your office hours run smoothly, I’ll do it” I sigh “Thanks for the offer”

 

He started the ignition and we were off to work.
