Louis was pissed at Sylvia's attitude. His jawline twitched in anger. If he should let her to step out of his house,everything will be screwed up. Not wasting more time to the minutes he had already wasted,he called after her.
"Sylvia! Sylvia! Come back here!" Louis yelled walking to his room where he had brought her to last night.

Sylvia had pulled off the Adidas pant she was putting on and was now wearing her popsocs and her jean bumshort. Sylvia has now taking off the shirt Louis had given her and was about putting on her top when Louis kicked the door open making Sylvia to jolt from where she was sitting.

"What the heck!". Sylvia yelled glaring at him in disbelief using her top to cover her bra.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?". He asked with a scowl ignoring her glares.

She scoff and walked up to his front. "Where else do you think I'm going if not to blow someone's head?". She returned his question with a smug.

"Hey. Now listen to me,you're not going out there to do anything stupid.
It might be my fault I told you who she is and that was because you promised not to do anything harsh and I want you to keep to that promise. You got it?". He said with a deep voice staring down to her eyes.

"Watch me leave." Sylvia replied with a smirk while she held her top to her hand and started walking towards the door.

Louis turned and followed her behind with a twitched jaw. "I told you not to leave", he said taking her wrist and turned her around and then pushed her to the wall. Placing both of her hands on the wall,her top fell to the floor leaving her upper part exposed with just a blue bra she was putting on.

Sylvia stood there with an awestruck expression on Louis. The sudden maneuver of her made her breathing heavily while she  waited for him to take the next action.
"What you gonna do now, huh?". She dared him with a smirk.

"Please don't dare me,Sylvia!". He warned looking away.

"What if I do?". She asked giggling.

"You really like playing games, don't you? Well,since you asked for it,then you'll get it as you wanted." Louis replied with a smirk and placed his lips on hers sucking her lower lip.

The motion surprised Sylvia. Her eyes were wide open like it'll pop up in a minute. "Hmm. He actually kissed me. I wasn't expecting him to fall for my dare. Well,it looks like I'll take advantage of it. Maybe if Ray found out his best friend slept with his ex fiancé he'll be mad and they'll be a big fight between the two just because of me. Hmm,I'll love to see Ray's face when he finds out. Perhaps if he fights with his friend because of me,that bitch will think he still loves me and would leave him. Wow,this is so good", Sylvia thought inwardly and smiled. She wasted no time to flow with the kiss. She took his lips into hers and kissed him same way he was doing.

Louis pulled away after few minutes of kissing. "Damn! I warned you not to dare me." He said letting go of her hands and ran his fingers through his hair.

"C'mon. Don't blame me,its not my fault. Besides I was enjoying the kiss. Hey,come here." He said in a sexy tone and drag him closer.

Louis was surprise. "What are you doing?". He asked staring at her.

"Just wanna continue what you started." She replied with a smirk wrapping her arms on his neck.

"Stop it Sylvia. This isn't right. You're my..."

"Shhh. It doesn't matter. He doesn't love me at all. So he wouldn't bother seeing us together." She said cutting him off his sentence. She kissed him and Louis fell for the kiss and placed his hand on her waist.

Louis took it further by moving his hands to the hook of bra and he unhooked it given him easy access to her breast. The next seconds was a fast forward because Louis had carried her to his bed undressed her and Sylvia had done the same to his clothes. There and then, they had a make-out session.

In the Robert's home,Raymond was about going out when he bumped into his mum. On seeing his mum,he had a scowl on his face. Ever since the phone call incident with his mum,both of them hadn't said much to each other.

"Good evening mother." He greeted and walked pass her.

"Raymond,you can't keep doing this. For how long do you intend ignoring me? You owe me an apology, Raymond and i request you do it now since you seem too busy to have a conversation with me." She replied in an harsh tone making Ray to stop at his tracks.

Ray turned to stare at her with cold eyes. "What did you just say mother?",he asked.

"I said I deserve an apology for speaking to me the other day in such a tone. And most of all,Sylvia and her mum deserves an apology for......"

"Enough, mother. I've had enough from you. Don't just complete the fucking sentence you're about to make. You deserve no apology from me,neither does Sylvia and her mum do." Ray retorted glaring daggers at his mum.

Mrs Robert was shocked at his son's outburst. She gasp in disbelief. "What the hell is wrong with you,Orlando? When did you become this way?". She questioned calling Raymond's second name rather than his first.

Ray chuckled. "Orlando? You haven't called me that name for such a long time now. I must have gotten to your nerves to make you call me that." He said with a smug.

"Stop daring me,Raymond. Because if you do....."

"What's gonna happen,dear mother? Are you going to cut off my head or call the corps on me or what will you do? Tell me". Ray asked walking closer to stand in front of her still smirking.
Ray felt a hand on his face,or more of less a slap on his cheek.

"Don't you dare talk to me in that manner. I'm your mother and I deserve some respect from you." Clara Robert said in a snarl.

"You slapped me, mother?". Ray asked in disbelief touching his cheek.

"Yes I did. And I'll do it again if you disrespect me one more time. What has come over you,Raymond?". She asked with a glare.

Ray didn't respond to her question and looked away. He swallowed the lumps that has been formed and composed himself pocketing both hands in his jeans trouser and started walking away.

"Tell me,what has come over you? Why did you really cancel the engagement with Sylvia? Isn't she good enough for you? Why did you have humiliate me in such a way? My friends, family members and other well wishers that knows next week is your wedding are going to be disappointed and you know most of all the questions that would be asked will all be directed to me. How do you expect me to answer and face such an embarrassing situation? How?!". She yelled at him before he could get to the door.

Ray halted and turned around still standing right at the spot. "Its easy. Just tell them you were the master planner of everything,that you thought it'll work out like you wanted but plans changed so that's why its been cancelled." He said with a shrug.

"And what do you mean by that?". She asked with a furrow.

"Oh mom, just stop it already. You know what I'm talking about. I don't have much time to start telling you all what you already know."

"If you're talking about the planned marriage between Sylvia and you, its not a big deal. You guys look perfect together. I'm sure you do love her as much as she loves you. So I don't know why...."

Ray scoffed. "Me? Love Sylvia? Hell no! I'm sure you already know that. Sylvia doesn't love me as well, so  it makes it even". He said.

"Stop saying that. Sylvia loves you a whole lot. She thinks about you most times,she always wants to be around you,and most of all when we talked about your engagement with her she was so excited. So how do you say she doesn't love you?". Clara asked.

Ray chuckled and shook his head. "She sure must have deceived you then. Well,I have a date. I have to leave now or else I'll be late and I don't want to keep her waiting." He said and held the doorknob twisting it and the door opened.

"Wait. Are you seeing another woman?". She asked.

Ray freeze at the doorstep. 'I think its time to tell her the truth. No,let me wait up a little before I tell her. No maybe I should tell her now. Oh....' He growled not knowing which decision to take.

"I asked you a question. Are you seeing another woman?". Mrs Robert snapped.

"Yes. I am." Ray answered immediately.

Mrs Robert was dumbfounded. She gasped for the umpteenth time today.
"Who. Is. She?". She asked with a quiet but harsh tone.

"That is not for you to know now. If you'd excuse me,I'll leave now." Ray replied and walked out of the house ignoring his mum's call after him.

"Who the hell is that woman to change my son this way to talk back at me when I'm talking? Its something I need to find out". She said with a scowl and then picked up her and dialled Sylvia's line. After five rings ,she picked up.
"I want you at my house right now." She said to Sylvia.

"Uhmm,OK. Is there any problem?". Sylvia asked on her end.

"Don't ask me questions, just come over." Clara replied and hanged up.

"Hello,hello,hello..." Sylvia said not knowing the call has been dropped. "Who does she think she is to ask me around whenever she wants? Do I really have to remind her that I'm no longer her daughter in-law to be ordered around? Pff". Sylvia said and huff before getting prepared to leave.
********
Thirty minutes later she was at the Robert's home. It was around 7pm when she got there.

She got inside and saw Mrs Robert sitting at one of the couches in the sitting room. "Good evening, mother." She greeted. Out of the good things she's done for her,Sylvia still regarded Clara as her mum despite the ordeal she's facing with her son.

"Hi,my dear. How are you?". Mrs Robert greeted with a smile.

"Hmm. Heartbroken." Sylvia replied with a sad expression.

"I'm so sorry. Please forgive my son. He doesn't know what he's doing. I think he's being hypnotized." Clara said.

"Hypnotized? By who?". Sylvia asked with interest.

"A woman,lady or girl. Whatever you wanna call it." Clara replied.

"How is that possible? I mean how did you even know about that?". Sylvia asked with a frown.

"Well,he told me." Clara answered.

Sylvia raised a brow. "He told you? Told you what? That he's being hypnotized?". She asked.

"No, honey. Not that. He told me he's seeing another woman. I guess that's the reason he cancelled your engagement." Clara replied.

Sylvia expression changed to a scowl. Although she just got to find out today by Louis that Ray has been seeing Jasmine and was in love with her but the thought of him cancelling his engagement with her because of Jasmine didn't really come to her mind . She thought deeply about it. 'How long have they be seeing? Has he slept with her already? What if she's pregnant for him? How could he even sleep with her for just few weeks they've met and refused to have sex with me after all this while we've been together? No,that can't happen',she thought to herself shaking her head.

"Sylvia? Sylvia?". Clara called making Sylvia to jars out of her thoughts.

"Yeah..." Sylvia answered forcing a smile.

"What were you thinking about?". Clara asked.

"Uhmm,nothing." She replied.

"Nothing? Are you sure?". Clara asked.

"Yeah. Nothing. You were saying something earlier." She replied taking her back to their discussion.

"Oh. Yes. I said Ray is seeing another woman. Do you know about that?".

Sylvia was speechless. She didn't know if she should say yes that she's aware or she should say No. If she says yes,she'll have to tell Clara who Raymond was seeing and that will implicate Louis who she had promised not to say a word to anyone about it earlier, and if she says No, maybe she'd let it go or perhaps have a spy do the job for her. The choice is hers to make right now.

"Sylvia. Do you know or not?". Clara questioned louder glaring at Sylvia.

Sylvia open her mouth to speak but words weren't coming out.
