..

He paused and turned to her.

Her eyes were glued to the TV.

He slowly took his lips in then took his eyes away and took the stairs up.

..

Next day

Janelle woke up to the sound of running shower in the morning.

She checked the time on her phone. 7:34am.

She got up, walked to her closet, picked out the clothes the was gonna wear, her body cream, and went out of the room.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

She went to take her bath in the guest room.

She got dressed and headed back to the room.

“Maybe you deserve some accolades for that”she heard him say.

He’s prolly on a call, with Betty, she is guessing.

He must be giving out comments on their time spent together.

Hmph. She shouldn’t let that bother her. She was going to file a divorce after all. She will leave so they can have the best of the time to together.

She enters the room and went straight to where she has all her shoes stored.

She picked a black sneakers and wore it.

George was standing in front of the mirror, brushing down his nice hair.

He was fully dressed in a royal blue suit and well, he looks charming inside that.

She moved to the table and took her comb.

She turned to the other side to comb her hair.

After she was done, she packed it into a ponytail.

She turned around to return the comb and found his gaze on her.

He’s probably checking her out.

Should she be happy?

No. Because they are going to separate very soon. She us definitely filing for a divorce.

She’s had enough of heart breaks.

He took his eyes away when he realized he’s been caught and cleared his throat.

He put down the comb and walked out immediately.

Wow.

She rolled her eyes and went to her collections of bags and picked out a designer bag which he infact, got for her.

She changed her earrings and wore a bracelet.

She moved out of the room and down the stairs.

She heard sounds from the kitchen so she assumed he is tryna make out things for himself.

Phew!.

She went out of the house and soon, she found herself in her car on the express, on her way to the office.

“I really have to go to work, Ren. Just look at the time. Do not be so naughty”

“Can’t you take a day off?. I really need you around”he pouted.

“I’ve been around since yesterday so, no excuse. We’ve had enough time together. We had the night together in love strokes do now, I really have to go for the work strokes”

“Ugh, you are boring. If you leave we are going to break up for real”he joked

“Are you threatening me now, Ren?. Don’t ever forget I’m a prosecutor”she smiled.

He laughs.

“So, what you gon do. You will go to the court and file a complaints against me because I broke up with you?”

“That’s a laugh. Alright, I need to go prepare for work”she smiled and pecked his lips then stood up from the bed, heading to the bathroom.

“Should I come join you?”he asked.

“You’re crazy”she replied him with a laugh from the bathroom.

..

“I have two eggs. One is rotten, one is good. Which did you think I choose or which will you take, let me put it like that”

“The answer is quite obvious. No need to beat around the bush. Well, in all straightforwardness,, I will throw the rotten one away and when I say away, I will do away with it completely and keep the good one.”

“Nice.”

“But what’s up with the question?”

“Good. Nice question. You see, you see eggs but I see beyond eggs. Eggs as used in the statement I made earlier is symbolic. I said two eggs, didn’t I?”

“Yes”

“Wow, Mr Lewis, are you so dumb?”she laughs.

Lewis brows were furrowed up in confusion.

“Alright. We have two eggs, alright?. The two eggs stands for two men which is my husband and you. You are the rotten egg, and my husband is the good one and well, just as you have said, I have to do away with the rotten egg, so, watch it, Mr Lewis.”

Lewis scoffed but then smiled.

“I must say, you are really good with parables.”

“I will take my leave now”Janelle rolled her eyes and walks out.

..

A knock sounded on her door and she wonders who it might be.

Not Diana, of course. That’s girl doesn’t knock but just barge in.

“Come in”she answered.

The door opened and a woman stepped inside.

“You Janelle Bright?”

“I am. Of what help do I own you?”

“Oh, I’m Stacy. I heard you’re their best prosecutor here.”

“Come have a seat”she invited.

Stacy moved to the chair and sat down.

“So, you were saying??..”

“Yes. My husband is the violent time and no day passes by without him laying his hands on me. I was really enduring the pains, alright?. But then one day when the beatings was getting unbearable, I file for a divorce but he just won’t give his consent. He even threatened me. We’ve had a kid together. He says if I don’t stop the divorce thing that he’s gonna kill me and… and.. and… sell my son to traffickers.”she busted into tears.

Janelle gave her some tissues.

“Have you visited any lawyer?”

“Yes, I have. But damn that man, he threatened the poor girl and so she decides not to have anything to do with me anymore for her dear life. I don’t blame her tho”

“Well, if you don’t. I do. The fact that she is a woman too and woman like her is suffering like this, I don’t expect her to back out and also, as a lawyer she is. Lawyers thrives to restore equality both in the rich and poor and men and women. No one should be trampled upon”

“Well, he threatened her. I decided to come to the government because it seems to be the best option”

“I’ve received so many threats also, ma’am. I was even crushed down with a car because of the Justice I was seeking. I became a lawyer to fight against those bastards and give Justice to the wronged.”

“So, is… is that a yes?”

“A loud yes, Stacy. Infact, I love cases like this”Janelle smiled.

“But aren’t your afraid?”

“Afraid of who?, your husband?”she asked and she nodded.

“Well, let him come after me. I will go after him with the law also.”

“Thank you so much, ma’am”

“You just have to do one thing for me. First, you will tell me what your just told me again as I will be recording it and also, you will have to consent some papers and then I submit to the chief prosecutor and.. just pray he signs the contract cause without his signature, I can do nothing and if I’m going to do, it’s going to be complicated. Can you tell me the status of your husband?”

“Well, he’s quite rich and has people higher-ups and..”

“Yeah, the point I need. Pray he doesn’t use the people higher-ups to threaten the chief.”

“I pray so”

“Alright…”

.. night time..

Janelle crashed on the chair immediately she got inside the house.

Ugh. Today was really tiresome and it made her so weary.

She laid there for some minutes before standing up and taking the stairs up.

She took a long and refreshing shower and wore her pyjamas.

She decides to make something for dinner.

Since she is tired, she decided to settle with soup that night.

She took the stairs down and to the kitchen.

She moved to the fridge and opened it.

She brought out some cabbage, meat and the soup from a boiled meat.

She picked a knife and used it in cutting the cabbage.

She brought out different ingredients from the cupboards and placed it on the counter.

She placed the pot on the cooker and poured the meat soup inside.

She decanted a few spoon of salt and seasoning inside.

She also poured some onions in.

She put few spoon of pepper too inside and closed the pot.

She cut the meat into the preferable size.

She opened the pot after some minutes and stirred the contents in the pot before pouring both the meat and cabbage inside.

By now, the aroma of the soup has filled the whole room.

She closed the pot back.

The door opened and George came in.

He went to take a bottle water from the fridge and gulped it down.

“I already talked to my lawyer friend. She said we should both come to her office tomorrow to do the needful”

“I am not going.”he simply replied.

“You won’t even dare, George”

“Watch me”he scoffed and turned to leave but suddenly halted in his steps.

“I have a party tomorrow and, we have to go together so get set before 8:00pm so I can come pick you up”he turned around to see her glaring hard at him.

“Why not go with your office bitch?”Janelle asked.

“Well, I fired her”

“Why. She is if no use to you anymore?. You’ve gotten enough of her already??”

“She went ultra-vires and i sacked her. Don’t be too wild in your thoughts”

Well. She.. she is happy about that, she can’t deny it.

Does that means the lady was pushing herself to him?.

She is so low.

“You should go with me to the lawyer tomorrow”

“No. You should go with me to the party.”

“I won’t. You can as well as take another lady with you”

“Then what did you want the media to say about us?. They will figure out there’s something wrong with us and you don’t want that, do you?”

“Something is wrong between us so why should I be so concerned?”she scoffs and turned to the pot.

She opened it and tasted it then put off the cooker since the soup is all done.

“You are overly sensitive, Janelle”

She turned to him.

“Oh, am I?. Why are you blaming me when the faults is all yours. You are just good in prejudicing and all. Afterall, all this won’t be happening me if you haven’t requested me. I would still be in my single life without marriage headaches and all.”she snapped and walked out of the kitchen angrily.
