Phil layed on the Queen sized bed he shared with his friend, his mind full of different thoughts. His friend was fast asleep, its 12:30pm and Phil wasn't sleepy. Phil who had slept after having the drink and woke up four hours later which was by 11pm and since then, he has been awake. He just couldn't get himself to fall asleep. Plus the thoughts of Laura's betrayal. He couldn't help but remember all the fake promises she made to him, as at then he thought she meant them but now he knew they were all fake promises. She said that all for the money.

And that night, that magical night where he lost everything, his wife, wealth, properties to just a signature. How could he be so foolish! He should have read through those papers! Oh yes. He trusted her completely so how would he have doubted her. Everything was all for the Money. She was such a good actress to keep this acts up for three good years. Geez..

Beep Beep. A notification came into his phone. It was a notification from his bank, GTB. 'Dear Philip Maduka, You've been put on restrictions on your withdrawals. Please visit the bank for more informations.'

What more information does he want? Its his wife's hand doing! "Nonesense" he said and threw the phone back to the nightstand.

..... .... ..... ...... ...... ...... .......

What could he be doing now? He hasn't even called to threaten her yet. That was one thing her passed victims never failed to do. Call her and rain empty threats on her. Even after she put restrictions to his withdrawals, he hasn't still reacted. Probably he was taking his time.

But why couldn't she get herself to sleep. Its not as if its her first time betraying a man. She's done it before and never felt so guilty. She should have known from the start, spending three solid years with him was definitely going to make her feel this way. "Gosh" she sighed.

.... ..... ..... ...... ..... ....... ......

Phil had succeeded in sleeping last night after some glasses of alcohol. Now the aroma of fried eggs woke him up. He traced the aroma to the kitchen where his friend was preparing breakfast.

"Goodmorning" Phil said as he sat on one of the breakfast bar stool.

"Hey, you're right in time for breakfast"

"Hmmm"

"I know it might not be so good but you gotta manage" Chuks pushed to his side a plate of friend eggs and bread. Phil stared at the food and just couldn't find an appetite to eat.

"Bro, I'm not really hungry"

"Are you crazy? You didn't even have dinner last night and you're saying you aren't hungry. You have to eat, we are going to see a lawyer friend of mine for some advice"

"I don't want to go anywhere. I'm tired"

"Tired of what? You fall from tree. See your life. You are slowly getting into depression. Did you even sleep well at night. See your eyes." Chuks said as he pointed to his friends swolen eyes obviously from not getting good sleep.

"Whats the use of going to the lawyer? Its not as if he's gonna bring back my wife"

"If not that you're my friend, I for beat that love comot for your eye. You have become totally carefree about everything! Get out of this damn shell you are putting yourself in. Atleast think about your father's sweat he used to build that company, think about the properties he left under your care. Save your Dad's legacy!"

Phil sighed. At some point his friend always made so much sense. "Fine."

"Good. Eat up"

They ate silently for a while and then Phil said "She's also put restrictions on my withdrawal."

"She is a witch!"

..... ...... ...... .... ...... ...... ......

Barrister Mike listened attentively to all Chuks had said. Chuks and his friend had come earlier to his office for some advice.

"Sincerely, if you go to court with this case, I assure you that you are going to loose this case. She got all the proofs and you weren't under any sort of Duress to sign those papers. You signed it on a free will"Barrister Mike said after listening to them.

"But he was tricked into signing it" Chuks said

"Do you have any proofs? Mr Philip you

had your chance to go through the papers but you didn't" Mike said to the silent Phil.

"My mistake" Phil admitted

"So what do you advice we do?" Chuks asked

Barrister Mike looked at each of them intensely, he sighed and pulled out his glasses "They say, when a thief steals a valueable thing from you and you can't get help from the right source to get back your thing, you steal it back from the theif"

"What do you mean?" Phil asked

"Mr Phil, you would have to move back to your house"

"Sorry?" Phil asked

"And not just that, you would have to take her offer and work in the company. You're the only one who knows the in and out of that company. Don't let her destroy the company. This is it, you would have to get those property papers from her."

"How is that?" Phil asked

"Steal it. Just find it and bring it here, and then leave everything else to me"Mike said

"I really don't want to see her." Phil said. He wasn't sure of what he might do to her if he set His eyes to her

"Can't we make a video or audio to prove that he was tricked into signing the papers?" Chuks asked

"The video must have her in it, wouldn't it. So what if its proven in court that she was under Duress to make the Audio or Video?" Mike said

"You're right but still I can't tolerate seeing her" Phil sai

"Phil, you have to. If this is the only way out then You have to see her." Chuks said to his friend. "Thanks Barrister, we would work towards that" Chuks said

..... ...... ..... ..... ...... ...... ......

"I'm not going anywhere! I can't stay under the same roof with her! I just can't tolerate her" Phil stormed into the apartment angrily. Chuks had been trying to convince him into taking the lawyer's advice but he wouldn't listen.

"Philip, you just can't sit and watch her win. She is ruining your life! That house is yours. You built it up with your hard earned money!" He sighed, he was obviously getting tired of convincing his friend "Just think about it. I'm off to work" Chuks said and stormed out of the apartment.
