Chapter 5 - Manipulation continues

One morning ,Kenneth had a call from Bryant the desperate evil lawyer who was bribed to lie.Kenneth picked the call and Bryant spoke

"Good afternoon Mr Kenneth,how are you doing and how is the family".his voice sounded like someone that had something else to say.

"I am fine and everyone is fine". Kenneth heart raced because Bryant only complied to lie and make a false will because of the bribe and their agreement for James to marry Sharon.But James is not willing to marry Sharon at all.

"Alright,Sharon told me that she had tried to call James on the phone several times but James keeps avoiding her by all means"His voice did not sound friendly.It sounded like someone that only meant business.

"Don't worry we will talk to him and we will make sure he marries sharon.i have already threatened to withdraw every of my inheritance from him if he doesn't listen to me". Kenneth spoke with the hope of convincing Bryant.

"Hmm,Its okay,I just called to remind you of the agreement we made.Sharon knows about the agreement and she wants to marry James so that she can be part of the investment."His voice sounded like a hungry vulture who is desperate for a stolen money.

After the call Kenneth sighed and took breath he thought about the fact that if Sharon does not get what she want she might expose the family secrets to the public which might destroy the image of the family.He vowed in his heart to make sure everything goes well.

Juliet and Sharon already began to plan with Rodwell,who was an ex boyfriend of merci to lie to James that he is dating him by sending him a text message.He was paid a sum of 50 thousand dollars to do that.

The next morning James saw a text which says "I am heart broken right now.How can merci be dating me and at the same time marry you James.I spend almost 5 thousand dollars everyday on her for her upkeep.I have sex with her anytime I want because she is my girlfriend and now she has secretly married you James.She is playing the both of us".

"What is the meaning of this, merci please wake up,I need you to explain all this nonsense"his heart was broken.

Merci woke up,she looked at the message and tears began to drop from her eyes.She said"What have I done to deserve all this so wickedness.I am not dating anybody james.These are all manipulations and someone is behind it".

"You know what? I am sick and tired of your lies.Right now I am going to the sitting room to sleep".He left the bedroom in pain.

As he was leaving merci said"wait,it's not what you think.Someone is behind all this evil "

As James left merci was weeping to a point where she was could not sleep.She was filled with pain of betrayal and wickedness from unknown people.

The next day In the afternoon at work Sharon called james on the phone by using video call through WhatsApp.He picked and said 

"Hello,how are you doing"his face was still looking sad and depressed because of the heart break he got from thinking that merci was cheating on him.

"I am fine baby,I have missed you do much"she was biting one side of her lips and using her hand to stylishly rub one of her big breasts.

Sharon was putting on a sexy top that was showing her nipples.The top only covered the upper part of her breast but it was exposed at the extreme end.

"I heard you travelled to UK to visit some beautiful places".James was already sexually aroused.He was staring at Sharon's nipples.All his hurts and pains of heart break from the manipulations about merci was comforted by what Sharon was wearing.

"Yeah,but now I am back and I am here for you.James what happened,your face looks sad". Sharon's eyes were lustfully looking at him.

"It's merci, people are saying that she is a cheat and that they have slept with her in the past.Someone even told me that she is dating a guy called Rodwell.The whole thing is so annoying.Right now my mood is so bad and I can't even concentrate on anything.James eyes appeared reddish.

"Hmm,I am surprised to hear this,so sorry for that".She said 

"It's alright "

"James,you know I love you so much,you are my ex boyfriend back at college, remember how I use to sit on your laps In your room at school.You also remember how I use to kiss you and give you hot sex.I want us to go back to those good old days "she spoke.

"Sharon,let me think first,later we can talk about this".He smiled a little.His sexual argue increased.His sexual organ became hard and his heart beat increased.

"Alright,we will talk another time when I come to visit you.I can't wait to put you in the mood for love and sex again".

James kept quiet as Sharon ended the call.

Sharon and Juliet continue to poison James's mind with subtle lies, carefully timed manipulation.Sharon who was the woman James parents wanted him to marry became part of the master planner of the manipuation.

James just started pulling away from merci emotionally, mentally, physically. He stopped eating her food,he stopped texting her while he was at work and he stopped giving her morning kisses.

Merci was initially blind to the scheme, blamed herself. She worked harder, loved deeper, held tighter.As time went on she noticed that James was being manipulated by her mother Juliet.

One night as merci was going to her matrimonial room,she over heard James mother talking to James in his room in private.

Juliet was speaking to James "my son, you have known now that meci is a prostitute in the past and that she was has a child outside.To make it worse she is from a poor home,all she does is to eat your food and live as a liability and burden to you".

"i understand but mom she is helping me in my business,she gives me brilliant ideas that makes my company grow and she is hard working too"He spoke 

"James,she is a prostitute in the past and I'm the present "juliet said to him.

"I understand you.I remember how men come to me to tell me everything about how they have slept with her.I can't believe she did all this.I have confronted her about it but she denied.Right now I feel heart broken"James replied.

James never knew that those men and women were organized and paid by the mother to lie and deceive James about merci.

"Yes,that is why I want you to marry Sharon who is the daughter of Bryant.She is a doctor and she is well trained and rich.I know you will like her because she is very beautiful " She spoke in desperation.

"I will think about it mom" confusion on his face.His love for merci became filled with doubt because of the manipulated lies.

Sharon was meant to marry James as an agreement between Kenneth who is James father and Bryant who is Sharon's father.This secret agreement was made as a return for the favour Bryant did for Kenneth's family by lieing that the property of Andrew the grandfather of merci should be willed and given to Kenneth's family.The property were originally meant to be given to Alex who is the son of Andrew and the father of merci but Bryant the lawyer lied.

Bryant wanted a favour,he wanted Sharon to marry James because he wants to indirectly partake of the inheritance through his daughter.This agreement has kept james family under tension.Ever since James married merci,his parents have distant themselves from him.They never accepted merci because of the secret agreement.Since James married merci, Sharon who desperately loves James have threatened to expose the secret to merci and her father Alex.This made James parents to desperately poison the mind of James so that Sharon will not expose them.

As Juliet and James were talking in the room, merci knocked at the door and there was an immediate silence in the room.James opened the door and Juliet left while she entered.

That night she confrontated James and said " what your mom told you was a lie,I am not a prostitute and I have no child outside this marriage".Tears welled from her eyes which were already looking red.

"How did you know what my mom told me" he asked.

"I over heard everything your mom was saying while I was standing at the door,don't make me look like a fool" she shouted at him in anger.

"What my mom told me has enough evidence, although I tried to believe you but it's hard.The evidences I have is already enough prove".He spoke with a false believe in his mind.

"Now tell me, what evidences are you talking about?" She looked at him straight in the eye.

"Many men have talked about having sex with you,one even told me that he has a child with you " he spoke with anger.

James mother have already organized and paid people to lie to James about having sex with merci.She even paid two women to lie that they were all prostitute in the past.

Merci replied "They are all lies, your mom is lieing because there are no proves".

James ignored her and simply went to bed with hatred and betrayal growing inside of him.

Merci was already having signs of pregnancy,She didn't know she was already pregnant. A child growing in her womb. James's son kelvin.
