FLASHBACK
“Aerial why am I here” Kennedy asked.
“I gave you a simple instruction Kenedy, make her and her daughter suffer but you ain’t doing any of that”
“I can’t do that Aerial because Irene is a nice woman and I love her” Kennedy said but Aerial let out a scoff.
“Nice but newsflash darling Irene is a slut and cheat. Why do you think Collins dumped her or do you think she loves you?
let me burst your bubble she doesn’t and It may interest you to know that she’s cheating on you” Aerial said laughing but Kennedy didn’t believe.
“She would never do something like that” Kennedy defended
“Really? You don’t know her that well then but I do. Let me ask you a question between Irene and I, who do you love most?”
“You know it’s you but you choose Collins over me” Kennedy said painfully.
“I love you Ken, I just realized that now and I don’t want you to get hurt”
“That I love you came rather too late my dear Aerial”
“I know it did but you have to believe me Kenny, Irene is cheating on you and I have proof” Aerial said bringing out an envelope and handed it to him then she urged him to open it.
but Kennedy felt his hands shake uncontrollably because he doesn’t want it to be true.
Kennedy summoned courage and tore the envelope then he saw Irene holding hands with another man but when he looked at the next picture his heart bled because it was actually a picture of Irene and the guy kissing.
“I’m sorry Kenny” Aerial said in a bid to consoling Kennedy
“No, this can’t be true. There must be an explanation or something because Irene would never do this to me” Kennedy defended still not believing what he just saw.
“But she just did Kenny, confront her about this and all you will get are lies. She’ll definitely lie about this but the pictures never lie. Kenny, I love you and I will never lie to you but you underestimated Irene and now see what she did, she turned out to be just like your late wife, betrayals, cheats.
You don’t know Irene as much as I do because she’s a sliming bitch and these pictures proves it” Aerial said and Kennedy got very angry and stormed out of the restaurant with his hand firmly clutching onto the picture but on getting home, Irene and the children were already having dinner.
“Hey honey welcome back” Irene greeted as she made to kiss his cheek but he held her back then Caleb and Gold gave them a weird look.
“We need to talk” Kennedy told her sternly and she followed him into the room.
“What’s up with them?” Caleb ask GoldNôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Uhmm, I don’t know maybe couples quarrel” Gold responded
“Marriage sucks” Caleb said and they burst out laughing
On getting into the room, Kennedy was quick to bombard her with questions.
“Ken what’s up with this attitude?” Irene asked worriedly
“What’s up is that you are cheating on me”
“I don’t know what you are talking about because I would never cheat on you” Irene said confidently
“Really? Explain this” Kennedy said as he threw the pictures on the floor then she picked the pictures and looked at it in shock.
“I can explain Ken, this is not what you think”
“What I think is that you are lying. How could you do this to me Irene” Kennedy asked hurt
“I can explain Ken, I think someone is trying to frame me up. You know I work in a hotel and the manager requested that I show a guest to his suite.
While leadings the guest, he held my hands but I was quick to push him off. I yelled at him but he kissed me and I tried to push him away even though he was stronger I eventually did and slapped him and that almost cost me my job. I was going to tell you about this when you got back from your business trip because I figured it wasn’t something that could be discussed on the phone.
You have to believe me Ken, I would never cheat on you” Irene said coming closer to him but he pushed her away then she hit her head on the floor and lost consciousness.
Kennedy felt his heart skipped a beat when she landed on the floor
“Oh no, please don’t tell me I’ve killed another wife.
“Irene are you ok, please wake up” Kennedy pleaded in tears then after some minutes, she opened her eyes slowly and he felt relieved.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed you but are you ok?” Kennedy asked concerned
“I’m fine, just having a little headache”
“Are you sure?” Kennedy asked but she let out a small smile and he helped her stand to her feet.
“Yeah but listen to me I don’t know who told you this but the truth is that I never cheated on you”
“I believe you now and I’m sorry that I acted too insecure”
“It’s fine Darling. Gold’s graduation is tomorrow and I’ll love it if you can attend” Irene asked with a pleading tone
“Sure thing” Kennedy replied and pulled her to himself hugging her then she collapsed again so he rushed her to the hospital
Some minutes later Kennedy called Aerial and spoke rudely to her expressing his anger
“I knew I shouldn’t have listened to you, now Irene is hospitalized.”
“I know about that Kenny but now is the chance to finish what you started”
“What do you mean?” Kennedy asked already getting upset
“I mean you should kill her”
“What? No way, I would never do that”
“Stop being foolish Kennedy, you think Irene loves you, she has been fooling you all along. I love you Kenny and I want us to get married but with Irene in the way it would never be possible”
“You want us to get married? What about Collins?”
“I’m going take care of him but first Irene has to go”
“Aerial, I can’t do that” Kennedy refused
“You won’t be doing that Kenny, the doctor will. I have his son already just make the call. You are not the one killing her my love but the doctor is going to take care of this ”
“But…” Kennedy was about saying but she interrupted…
“Don’t but me Kenny, just do it at least be a man for once” Aerial said and that was it,
“Aerial always knew how to manipulate men to do what she wanted, she played that game on me and it worked perfectly, I was just too blind to see the signs too blind to know that I was a goat been led to slaughter”
