Chapter 34 The Truth

CHRIS called the doctor he knows and asked for advice on what to have his wife todrink.

"I'm free now, if you want, I'll go there to personally see her condition. We also need to know what kind of medicine was mixed in her drink."

"Thank you, Doc! I'll wait for you." Chris gave their address to the doctor. Before he went back to Nica's side, he dialed a number on his phone again.

"I'm sorry if I couldn't contact you immediately earlier," Larry said when he answered his friend's call.

Chris felt like he wanted to punch Philip's face again when he heard the story from Larry. According to him, he just got surprised when Nica's car stopped and changed the path she was taking.

"Take care of the girl who was that bastard's accomplice. Make sure she'll confess everything." Chris ordered Larry.

"Leave her to me, anyway, I contacted my cousin earlier and reprimanded her because she didn't answer your call. She had a date and her phone's battery was drained."

"Thank you, if not because of you, I don't know the truth right now."

"It's just a small thing, anything for you!"

"Let's talk tomorrow." Chris bid goodbye to his friend before he approached the door to know who was knocking.

"You," Chris's nonchalant greeting to Janice.

"Sorry if I'm disturbing, I just want to know how is my sister," Janice said to Chris hesitantly.

Chris stared at his friend suspiciously. Before when he did not know his wife well, he was impressed with the kindness she was showing to Nica. But it is different now. He thinks of her now like a snake ready to bite when he turns his back.

"She's fine and I can take care of her."

Janice bit her lower lip because she was hurt by the way the young man looks at her and his cold treatment of her right now. He obviously does not want her to come close to Nica as she will harm her.

"I'm sorry about what my cousin did. Believe it or not, I don't know anymore what he and Nica's relation is." She explained to the young man and was hoping that he will change his treatment of her now.

"Do you have anything else to say?" He impatiently asked Janice instead of listening to what she was saying. "I need to go back to Nica to wipe her."

"I'll do it for you!"

Chris quickly moved the wet towel he was holding away from Janice. "Thanks, but I can handle it.

Janice wanted to cry when Chris closed the door in front of her. She really did not know what her cousin had done today. Her mother had just called her and ordered her to make sure Chris would not be home early. She also said to not let the young man talk to Nica on the phone.

Janice opened the main door when the doctor Chrismith called came. Now she knows that Chris does not believe that it was because of liquor that her sister was with Philip. She wanted to assist the doctor until he was in Nica's room, but Chrismith stopped her.

"It's almost midnight, you should rest now and I'll take care of Nica," Chris said in a flat tone.

Janice could not do anything but stay away and go to her own room. She did not let her mother know about the doctor because she might make a scene again that will only earn her a bad image from Chrismith.

"What do you think did she drink, doc?" Chris asked the doctor whilst caressing his wife's palm.

"I think it was Rohypnol that was mixed in her drink." The doctor explained its effects to Chris. "Don't worry, this medicine will help her regain her strength in a short time."

"Thank you so much, doc!" Chris thanked him gratefully when he finally excused himself. He sent him out of the mansion and went back to their room straight away.

Nica woke up feeling heaviness. She lifted up her head and looked around when she remembered what happened to her last night. She sighed with relief when she confirmed that she is in her own room. She slowly moved her head and turned to the right side of the bed. A small smile formed on her lips when she saw Chris's face.

While looking at her husband's sleeping face, what happened last night came to Nica's mind. It was clearer now and she shuddered at the thought of Philip's bad plan not being delayed. She became sad when she recalled what happened last night with her friend.

"Nica, I'm sorry about what I did." Xtine was looking down and she could not meet her friend's stare.

"Have you done something wrong to me?" Nica asked in confusion her friend and accepted the glass of liquor she handed her. She is obviously drunk already and was taking out her anger for her ex-boyfriend who allegedly blackmailed her again and again.

"I just had to do this because if not, he will leak out the nude picture that I don't know where and how he had. I trusted him and believed that he loves me." Xtine buried her face in her palms.

Nica swallowed the glass' content before she comforted her friend. She hugged and comforted her. "Just who is that jerk so we can do something?"

"Philip," Xtine answered in a whisper.

Nica felt deaf when she heard the name Xtine mentioned. She suddenly felt nervous simultaneous to her body weakening.

"Xtine?" She called her friend in a low voice. "What's this?"

Xtine lifted up her face and looked at Nica sadly. "I'm really sorry, he used me to trick you."

Before she could fall from her seat, a strong arm caught her back.

"Good job, sweetie!"

Even though she could not see the person speaking, Nica knew Philip's demonic voice. She shut her eyelids and collected her strength to push him, but he hugged her from behind. She tried to break free from him in disgust, but he just held her tighter. She felt like her voice was gone, along with her strength.

"Don't try anything bad to her, do our deal!" Xtine warned her demonic ex-boyfriend and glared at him hatefully.

Philip just smirked at Xtine whilst sniffing the pleasant scent of Nica's hair. He was about to plant a kiss on her neck when a disturbance came.

"Dude, my boss's drunk now. Can I have her and take her home?"

Nica's hope became alive when she heard a familiar voice.

"Don't try to trick me, Dude. That kinda style won't work on me. Find another girl because she's my girlfriend." Philip's tone of voice was harsh.

"Dude, you're not Ma'am Nica's husband, don't try to claim someone that's not yours. If you are persistent in harassing her, I'll be forced to call the police."

Nica could feel the tension that engulfed Philip. She tried to open her eyes to confirm if Larry really is her angel tonight. But he was standing at her side and she feels dizzy when she moves her head.

"Ma'am Nica is obviously not in herself right now so you can't tell if she wants to come with you."

Nica felt Philip's muscle hardened and ready to punch which made her worried.

Philip's mind changed and he canceled his plan because the man who intervened has a point. He did not know him, but because he knows Nica's status, other people will surely know if he does something bad to her.

"You better not drive her to a different path because I'll be watching and following."

Nica heard the man while he was following her and Philip. She did not know where Xtine is, Philip is carrying her now and she could not do anything. She could see a man's feet following them until she was taken inside the car. She tightly closed her eyes because Philip was not careful with walking. Her head that was hanging from his shoulder was almost shaken. He carried her on his shoulder like a sack of rice.

Nica sighed after she recalled what happened last night. She stared at her husband's handsome face again. He was sound asleep and it seems like he stayed up until late worrying about her. It is only five o'clock in the morning, thus it is still quite dim.

"Thank you!" Nica mumbled whilst caressing Chris' cheek. Her love for him just became stronger. She made a move she would not want others to have.

Chris woke up from what he thought was just a dream. He thought the kiss he was feeling on his lips was just a dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's beautiful face. He automatically wrapped his arms around her body. She was laying on his chest, thus he could feel the softness of her body that awoken the fire that engulfed his manhood. He responded with a hotter kiss to her.

"Feeling better?" He asked her in a husky voice when their lips parted.

Nica answered him with a passionate kiss before embarrassment could enter her mind. As the kiss deepened, she tweaked Chris's hair with her fingers. She could feel her husband's desire to own her. The movements of his lips in her mouth were intoxicating and she feels like drowning. She let his tongue enter her mouth and tasted the sweetness that came from there.

Chris could not stop himself from being aggressive in feeling his wife's body. He changed the position of the two of them and he was now on top.
