Our first fight
Just then Cory entered unannounced, and he was shocked to see Dennis and Ella standing together.
He opened his mouth without even noticing it, he was holding a kitchen knife in his right hand, and his left hand was curved into a fist.
“Hmmm, ” Ella stammered, Her eyes were very red, and she was short of words, moreover, she could feel Cory’s anger, and it frightened her.
Dennis on the other hand felt fulfilled, and he smiled broadly revealing his full white teeth.
“Good day sire, ” Dennis greeted the angry-looking Cory with a friendly smile.
“Who are you? And what are you doing here?” Cory yelled at the top of his voice, not minding that his daughter was asleep.
“He is no one….. He is….. ”
“I am her best friend, ” Dennis interrupted Ella’s sentence before she could finish talking.
“Best friend? “Cory’s eyes widened in shock and he turned to look at the frightened Ella.
“I… I… Really… ” Ella stuttered, She could not talk because it felt as though her tongue was tied together.
“Well, I was about to take her out shopping, As you know, I am a fashion designer. By the way, is she your younger sister? ” Dennis asked the heartbroken Cory.
“Did she tell you that she is my sister? ” Cory asked curiously, wondering if Ella had denied him behind his back.
“Well, not really, maybe, ” Dennis said, a cunning grin on his face, and he smirked mischievously.
“What do you mean? ” Ella asked Dennis in shock, wondering why he told a lie.
“What? ” Dennis raised his brow and blinked his eyes like an innocent puppy.
“Dennis Lauren, please get out of my house, ” Cory said, Although his voice sounded calm, his face and behavior proved otherwise.
“Out of your house? ” Dennis looked shocked, and he curiously furrowed his brow.
“Well, yes, out of my house, You are not welcome here, ” Cory barked at him angrily, he also gave Ella a hateful glare.
Ella felt belittled, and she bowed her has in shame.
“Cory, do you even realize who you are talking to? I guess you have forgotten who I am!” Dennis asked with a threatening voice.
“Who do you think you are? Do you think you are special? I mean what gave you the right to come into my house and call my wife your best friend? ” Cory asked with a spiteful look on his face.
“Your wife? ” Dennis was shocked, and he opened his mouth to show his confusion.
“Yes, she is my wife! ” Cory said possessively.
“But aren’t you a gay?” Dennis asked with an inquisitive face.
“When did I tell you that I am gay? Tell me, when did I tell you!?” Cory asked angrily.
“Well, a man like you doesn’t deserve to be loved, You are too arrogant, too proud, and you are also very rude. Who would love a woman like you? ” Dennis asked rudely.
“In case you have forgotten, you are in my house right now! ” Cory growled at Dennis angrily.
“So what, what are you planning to do? Answer me, boy! ” Dennis asked, as a menacing smile settled on his face.
“Please let not fight, ” Ella begged, She felt guilty, because according to her, it was all her fault.
Cory continued to look at Dennis as his anger grew.
“Your parents must be so disappointed in you! ” Dennis hissed at Cory, and he headed for the door.
“Wait! ” Cory demanded, just before Dennis could leave.
“What is it? ” Dennis questioned with an unfriendly glare.
Cory turned to face Dennis, and without thinking twice, he threw a punch at him.
Dennis fell to the ground and started to vomit blood.
Cory looked unbothered, and he was about to hit him again when Ella suddenly came to the front.
“Please, don’t, ” She said and stretched out her hands, ready to protect Dennis.
“Are you supporting him? ” Cory asked furiously.
“No, neither am I supporting you, ” Ella grimaced at Cory before she turned to face Dennis.
“Please forgive his behavior,” she apologized on behalf of Cory.
“Hmm, it is alright, ” Dennis smiled at Ella, he managed to stand up, “Look here Cory, we will meet again, ” saying this, Dennis staggered out of the house.

“You should not have done that!” Ella yelled at Cory angrily, “Learn to control your temper next time! ” She scolded him.
“Oh really! So you have started to invite men to my house, right? ” Cory asked her angrily.
“Are you indirectly calling me a whore? ” Ella asked, She looked hurt.
“Isn’t that what you are, a grown-up lady like you, tying a towel to welcome a male! Aren’t you a whore for doing that? ” he roared at her angrily.
“What! ” Ella looked shocked, and her eyes flicked quickly.
“Pray tell me, what exactly do you see in his body? Why are you after him? Is it because of his wealth? Is it because he is richer than me? ” Cory asked with red eyes, he was hurt and he was moved to tears.
“Oh really! So that is actually what you think of me, right, You think I am a money digger ” Ella asked with a hurt voice.
“So you are this loose, was that why your parents rejected you?” Cory asked in anger, ignoring her question.
“At this point, you have overstepped your boundary, Cory! You have no right to judge me, and neither should you bring my parents into this?! ” She cried out in pain. Cory was surprised, and he kept quiet, just staring at her, unable to console her.
“You have no right to bring men into my house either; well without my permission! You have no right to have a friend without my permission!” He sticks to his point, like glue.
“Oh, that is right! This is indeed your house, but you have no right to monitor my movement! Neither are you, my parents, so you have no right to control or tell me who I should make friends with! ” Ella yelled back at him, with a broken voice.
“You know what, I will do this the right way, I have already overstayed my welcome here anyways, it is time for me to leave!” she said, and without waiting for a response, she headed for the door.
