    •••QUINN•••
    I was at Mandy’s she was on her laptop probably working while I was busy watching TV while eating take out.

    “Astrid Shane found dead in her hotel room.” the news read which felt a bit off.

    “Mandy are you hearing this? ” I asked her she looked away from the screen of the laptop she paid only little attention and then back to her screen.

    “She kinda deserved it after she died it was later revealed she’d seduced some millionaires, dupe them and then kill them the force thinks AXE-L had something to do with it but it’s just odd why would they do something like this they’re gangsters.” she mummered confuse.

    “Maybe they were paid to kill her.”
    I stated as Mandy stares at me with her eyes wide open.

    “You maybe on to something Quinn but they would have to pay a lot of money, I can’t get their DNA and Zoe is already at my neck they could strike anytime to anyone, I wonder who’s their next target.” she said shutting down her laptop.

    “I hope it’s Noemie, probably she’s their next target and her stupid fiance.” I said
    .
    “Are you really quitting the force, you just got back and after everything your mom just wants you to grant her every wish?..” she walked up to me and sat down next to me.

    “I can’t do anything about it, it’s what she thinks it’s best for me if only she could just understand but she thinks I’m just going to hurt myself again.” The bell rings, I sat down comfy on the couch until I heard a familiar voice, I looked up to see Calvin.

    Both our eyes met, I looked away focusing my stare on the TV.

    “I thought you said you wanted to hang out why is she here? ” I felt insulted I just scoffed ignoring him. “Look both of you are my best friend and I just got Quinn back and Calvin you have a car, make up right now or else you’re not gonna like it when I’m pissed.” she strongly warned.

    Calvin rolled his eyes round the room and sat down next to me, I just heave a deep breath as we manage to glance at each other.
    “Look Quinn just apologize and I’ll forgive you.” he worded I just laughed hard at his statement. “What’s so funny? ” he asked confused.

    “You said I should apologize, for what exactly Calvin should I apologize for? ” I questioned.

    “For being bitchy, you bullied Noemie and got her arrested and act like a kid around her I even heard you pulled another stunt on them at their pre wedding bash, mom had to convince Noemie to put up a good word for you so Uncle Charles could still have you in mind.” he said and all I wanted to do was to scream but I remained calm.

    “I didn’t bully Noemie, she did first she always has and I gave her a taste of her own medicine. I understand mom siding with her but you it’s a huge downfall. We grew up together almost our entire life and you are treating me like you don’t know me, like you hate me.” I sobbed.

    “I don’t hate you I’m looking out for you. “

    “Then where were you when Noemie was treating me like trash and William smack my butt? ” he looked at me stunned.

    “He what? “

    “Now you care? Seriously you didn’t care when mom finally decided that I quit the force and work in some stupid company, you didn’t care and I needed the guy I grew up with to at least care but no you don’t.” I yelled at him as we finally locked eyes.

    “The only person that ever cared is dead and if he was alive this shit wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have to hear you tell me to my face that you ain’t my brother and pretend I didn’t care when actually I felt I was stabbed Calvin, you did the most damage.” I said my eyes well up trying to force my sob into words.

    “And bringing back the issue of Terry was the worst thing you could have done and you proved your point I hope you’re happy.” I said picking up my cardigan and putting it on.

    “Quinn I’m sorry.” Calvin spoke up I just walked past him and waved Mandy goodbye.

    “Quinn you don’t have to go home you can still stay..” Mandy persisted but I ignored her.

    “I need to start packing again since I’m going to start living my uncle I’ll text you when I get home.” I said leaving the apartment.

    •••••••••
    It was the day before the wedding and unfortunately Noemie’s bachelorette party she had it at a palm springs resort, I was the towel girl giving and taking towels.

    I wore a two piece bathing suit in black and a flower patterned towel at the bottom
    .
    Noemie and her friends just talked behind my back and gossiped about me but I didn’t mind.

    “Quinn?? ” I ran to where my name was being called, they were all in a pool flocking behind Noemie.

    “What do you want? ” I asked.
    “There are some trash, be a dear and go handle that will you? ” she said as I breathe and walked away from her to get the pool equipment.

    I went to where the trash was and used the equipment to pick the trash in the net.

    I pulled it back see it was lipstick with Noemie initial on it.

    “Quinn? ” they called again I went over to them to see Noemie with her friends at the edge of the pool mumbling.

    “Yes…” I muttered under my breath.

    “We are hungry be a dear and order us something to eat like noodles.” I brought out my phone to call the noodle place and place all their order and waited for it to arrive, soon it came and I went over to give them their order.

    “This isn’t what we ordered.” they complained.

    “It’s what you told me and what was delivered deal with it that’s not my problem.” I yelled frustrated, Noemie pulled me back and pushed me into the water and then dumped her noodles on me same with her friends.

    “That’s it..” I muttered under my breath and took hold of her leg and dragged her in with me, I pulled her face up and slapped the hell out of her, tugging her hair and pushing her face into the water to the point I wanted her to die.

    “Quinn? ” I stopped and looked up to see Calvin.

    “What are you doing let go of her.” Calvin said as I let go of Noemie, I quickly swam over to the edge and lifted myself back up as the girls helped her, Noemie whined softly holding on to Calvin I just felt annoyed and pissed she’s using this to get his attention.

    I just went to a lounge room, one of the employees was nice enough to give me a towel while I dried off, I just decided to scroll through my phone looking at previous pictures of me and my dad.

    I felt a presence I looked up to see Calvin, he wore a leather jacket with black jeans, a few ladies that were going about eyed him he just walked over to me and sat down next to me.

    “Are you okay? ” he asked I just scoffed.

    “Now you care..” I mouthed switching off my phone so he wouldn’t figure out what I was looking at. “What are you doing here? ” I asked.

    “Did mom send you here so I won’t kill her only ticket to my uncle? ” I asked as he just chuckled. “Like I care if you kill Noemie, I’m here for a different reason.” he said.

    “All the springs are booked by Noemie come back tomorrow.” I said glaring at him but he just smirked. “I came to see you dummy.” he blurted out.

    “Well you’ve seen me, now get out.” I urged.

    “Look, I’m sorry if my words hurt you I didn’t mean to after dad’s death it’s kinda hard hearing him advice me not to loose shit on you.” he started. “When you told me you had a miscarriage I was mad, I’m supposed to protect be your elder brother but I failed you and I’ve been mad at myself I don’t deserve to be your elder brother I’m sorry it hurt you I just don’t want you going through shit again.” he muttered reading my expression.

    “So what are you trying to say? ” I pester on being stubborn.

    “If you think I’m gonna apologize again your loss I already said I’m sorry.” he said I pulled him into a hug.

    “I’m sorry too as from now on I’ll try to make my punishment less brutal.” I giggled.

    “Oh no Noemie deserved it big time I saw everything, I just decided to stop you before you kill her.” he said looking over to see both Noemie and her friends coming our way.

    “I know of a way to make her more upset if you are up for it? ” he smirked at me, I could only look lost as he pulled up my chin and our eyes locked.

    He leaned closer before I could process what was actually happening, Calvin kissed me I was stunned, I didn’t respond to the kiss but I felt Calvin’s palms graze up my thigh until I pushed him off.

    Noemie stormed off angrily I could hear some of her clique whisper, “Isn’t that her brother?? “

    I got up with my cheeks flushed crimson, I couldn’t look Calvin in the eye it was all a way to make Noemie mad but I felt uncomfortable.

    Wait? Does Calvin have feelings for me?

    “Why did you kiss me? ” I yelled.
    “This isn’t the first time we’ve kissed Quinn.” he muttered back.

    “That was 14 years ago and it was a school play and that kiss was different.” I muttered back.

    “It was 14 years ago of course it would be different we were kids and this one isn’t different what’s the big deal.” he mummered and I just felt tipsy all of a sudden.

    “The big deal is that you’re my brother, this is wrong.” I mummered.

    “I’m not your brother Quinn, I grew up with you but that doesn’t mean I’m your brother and it doesn’t mean one of us isn’t going to have feelings for the other. I tried to stop pushing it away but they always bounce back to you.” he muttered lowly.

    “You have a girlfriend.” I blurted.
    “We broke up when I decided to help you move in, she was mad when she heard you were back.” he said and I couldn’t take it anymore.

    “I’m going home, I need to get ready for the wedding tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.” I groaned out walking out on him.

    ••••••••••••••
    The next day was the wedding, I sat down wearing blue I was in Noemie’s room with the other bridesmaids.

    My mom and aunt came in, I was all dolled up looking presentable.

    “Oh sweetie you look beautiful soon you’ll be walking down the aisle next time, I’m so proud of you.” she smiled at me all I did was nod.

    I was needed to hold Noemie’s gown that swept the floors while she needed to walk up to the altar.
    The wedding was done in one of the oldest church In town.

    Soon the bell rang and the doors to the church opened, I pulled up the white fold helping Noemie to the altar till she got there.

    I let go of her dress and stood next to a few bridesmaids, the priest began the talk and they both took their vows before finally being hitched.

    After the wedding we went to the reception which was one of the biggest houses my Uncle Charles rented out.

    Everyone was busy dancing their legs out, I just roamed the building probably to get my mind off everything.

    Suddenly I heard a scream it sounded like Noemie’s I traced her to where she was screaming to see her next a build stranger in mask, he held a gun up to her head and I heard shooting in a different room.

    “She’s here let me go you dick..” Noemie foolishly blurted he pointed the gun at her head about to shoot.

    “Don’t kill her, I’ll give you anything you want just don’t kill her I’m begging you.” I mummered as he had her on her knees.

    He walked up to me with a smirk, his facial expression seemed familiar but I was too tensed up to guess.

    “You get out..” he told Noemie, she quickly got up and left without looking back.

    He slowly took of his mask revealing the smirk of a devil, he clicked tight on his gun, my heart dropped it’s the same man wounds I clean and the same man I found unconscious everything was different about him, from his dark creamed hair to the lip ring that nested on the side of his lips, his tattoos that inked up on his body and his cold souless eyes that breed nothing but darkness.

    He pointed the gun over my head ready to end my life, I couldn’t believe it after all he was a gangster and nothing could stop him.

    If I could go back again I could have left him to die.

    “Shouldn’t we sell her to the Cunningham as planned? ” one of them asked but retreated when he glared at him.

    He squatted down tangling his fingers through my hair, a smile worked up his lips his hands stuck on my necklace.

    “How much is she worth? ” he asked

    “20 million.”

    He smirked locking eyes with me, he could read the peril in my eyes it entertained him it made it all too exciting for him.

    “We can keep her until her price is satisfactory as far as she’s alive she belongs to me.”

    Two other men walked in all in mask, only him with his masks off.
    They were four now, i gulped down nervously as he left me, one of them walked up to me with a knife pointing up my chin, I was on my knees.

    “The Cunninghams have terrible taste can’t we just kill her I wanna see if her blood is pretty.” he said pointing his knife at my throat.
    I grabbed his knife and kicked him down to the floor, I quickly got up and tossed the knife as they dodged I was almost out until I heard a gunshot.

    I turned to see a smirk on the strangers face.

    “Take another step and I’ll shoot you, I’ve never missed.” he said while I wore a frown.

    “And I should trust you why? ” I challenged.

    “Try me, you will be responsible for ending your own life.” he said with a fixed gaze.

    “What do you want from me, Who are you? ” I asked.

    “I’m Seth Leader of AXE-L, you’re Quinn Fields and the Cunningham requested for you but I have other plans especially for you, let’s make this peaceful, come with us..”
    “And what makes you think I’ll follow you bastards.” I yelled.

    “Come with us, If you want everyone in this building to live, it’s not them we are after its you, so make up your mind should we do it the easy way or the hard way.” he smirked and I had no choice.

    “I’ll come with you.”

    AUDIO BOYFRIEND
    Audio Boyfriend – Episode 3 


    By Rejoice Jeremiah. C 

    [Previously on Audio boyfriend:] Once, I was near the hallway, I heard low noises.
    Omo.. It’s really him..
    Aigoo, it’s him indeed. The Thailand superstar
    I gasped and stepped back.
    Hello everyone.. How are you doing?
    he said.
    I didn’t wait for another second, I removed the high heels I wore, and raced back to the room my dad is.
    Once in, I placed my hands on my knees to catch my breath.
    ‘Will I be able to go tonight. I have loads of works! Why’s he at the hospital again?’
    Sara
    After fifteen minutes of standing in dad’s ward.. I finally got an idea of what to do. I searched my bag and found a nose cover. I wore it, then removed my jacket and pulled it over my head.
    “Now I can leave.”
    I wore back my heels. “Goodnight dad,” I whispered and off I went, quietly but quickly, I walked through the corridor until I got to the hallway, once I stepped into the hallway, I heard a voice that sounded like his coming suddenly from the wards corridor I just passed.
    I peeped and flinched back when I saw him walking towards with a man.
    ‘Oh my God!’ I took off. I didn’t care if my heels made loud noise as I ran for my dear life.
    Hello ms, please don’t run in a hospital. Your heels are making noises and you might bump into a patient. a nurse said.
    “Biane Biane Biane Biane” I apologised continuously as I kept running.
    I finally walked out of the long hallway but didn’t stop to catch my breath.
    I ran out of the gate and waved on a taxi.
    The taxi pulled up and I jumped in.
    “Go go,” I said to the taxi driver and he zoomed off but why is he staring at me like that from the rear view mirror.
    Oh! The jacket over my head and the nose cover.
    I quickly removed them. I must have looked like a pyscho.
    Argh it’s all because of that guy.

    Jasmin
    Omo, she almost bumped into me. How could she be running like that?
    Who is she?
    She must be sick
    And she wore such a high heel and dare use it to makes noises. Ah my poor ears almost got blocked.
    We heard the patients complain as we got to the hallway.
    Oh the Thailand superstar.
    He look so young and handsome
    But why is he in a hospital? Is he here to see us?
    I smiled and turned to them.
    “Hello everyone. I’m happy to see all of you and I’m happy that even in this circumstance, you all still have a smiling face..”
    I paused when I heard camera shots. People were gathering.
    Can’t I just talk without being videoed or something?
    “…So I wanna plead with you not to unviel this smile no matter the situation and pain you might be going through.” I asked.
    Aigoo, he speaks so amazing.
    I feel like hugging him.
    I smiled. “..If you find yourself in a condition where you think you can’t take it anymore, just place your right hand on your chest,” I said and placed my right hand on my chest. “..and say all is well.”
    They all placed their hand on their chest and said it.
    I smiled.
    “Goodnight everyone. Have a blissful night rest.” I said and made my way out.
    Oh his girlfriend must be really lucky
    Yes she is indeed. He choose her even though she is a poor designer.
    They were friends from childhood
    “Why did you do that?” William asked.
    “What did I do?” I asked.
    “Paying half of every patients bill in this hospital”
    “It’s something I felt I should do. And I thought I’m gonna see that girl anyway, I think someone close to her is in this hospital.” I said.
    “You can’t be sure. Maybe she came for treatment. The doctor could have given us the answer.” William said.
    “I’ll get all the answers I want by tomorrow.” I said.
    “You are really going the wrong way J. Arresting that girl is the best thing to do. Could you see, those patients in the hospital talking about her being lucky to be your girlfriend all. Damn it’s freaking me out.”
    “I will handle this without the police.” I said.
    “As your manager J, i think I’ve tried enough to tell you the right thing to do.”
    “Thanks for trying. Just drive me to the girl tomorrow.” I said and got into the car, he got in too and drove off.

    (Sara’s residence)
    Sara
    The taxi pulled in front of my house. I got down, paid the Taxi driver and turned to hurry up inside.
    “Excuse me miss,” he called.
    I turned. “Huh. Isn’t that the amount?”
    “Not that. I was right, I was staring at your face all this while and you looked familiar.” he said.
    “How? Do you know me from somewhere?” I asked.
    “On the TV. You are the Thailand superstar girlfriend right?” he smiled. “Of course you are.”
    I gasped. What is this now?
    How did he know.
    Argh of course he should.
    “Are you really his girlfriend?” he asked.
    Displaying a smile, I said,. “Yes I am.” and hurried to my house.
    I got in, switched on the lights and collapsed on a chair.
    “Ah I’m going crazy really.”
    My stomache grumbled. “Aishh.. I’m hungry.”
    I stood up and walked to the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, it was empty only two packs of noodles.
    I sighed, took out one to cook.
    (Later that night)
    “If the left sleeve should be this way, then the right should be a tiny sleeve with a lace sleeve that stops at the ankle.” I said as I was drawing it.
    “V neck with a touch of rose design.”
    (Hours later )
    My legs are soaked in water to chase sleep away.
    “…No, this isn’t very nice. I would need to draw it one more.”
    I took another sheet and began drawing the design again. I’ve succeeded in two designs but this one is getting too tough for me.
    I checked the time. 2:32am.
    “Argh im so sleepy. I will just draw this one and go to sleep,” I said.
    (Next Day )
    I opened my eyes and saw that I had slept off on the desk while still drawing the neck of the dress.
    “Arghhh.. I was really sleepy.” I mumbled and sat up. I yawned and stretched myself.
    The ray of the morning sun was coming from the window.
    I turned off the lamp, looked down and my legs are still in the bucket of water. I sighed and pulled out my legs, stood up, carried the bucket and headed to the bathroom.
    Once I faced the mirror in the bathroom, I gasped at my eye bags.
    Why are they so out and dark.
    “Ahhgh! This is not nice.”
    I grabbed my toothbrush, applied paste and proceeded to brush my teeth.
    After brushing, I walked out and headed to the kitchen.
    “Argh I need to go to the grocery shop today. The kitchen is totally empty.” I said, took out the remaining pack of noodle to cook.
    While cooking it, I heard my phone ringing, since the ringtone is really loud.
    I hurried up to get it with the thought that it would be another person who wants to purchase from Saara collection.
    But on getting to the desk, I saw it’s Love hospital calling.
    I moved away from the phone and shook my head.
    “No, I can’t pick this call. Of course I can’t.” I said.
    I left it and walked back to the kitchen.
    “Tch… this hospital don’t deserve to be called Love Hospital. Money hospital would have suited it well. So annoying!”
    I finished cooking and served it on a dish.
    “I need to call Ha nah and let her know of the new designs I drew last night.”
    I walked over to the desk, picked the phone and walked back to my food.
    I sat down and put a call to her.
    She picked up at the second ring.
    “Hello Sara. Any news?” she said.
    “Yes. I got two designs last night and they are really nice but there’s this third one that’s proving really hard. I think it’s the most beautiful, and that’s why it’s proving hard to draw but I will try to finish it.” I said.
    “Alright. I have goodnews. Five of Saara’s collection would be sold today. We have three buyers already.” she said.
    I jumped up. “Really. I can’t believe the miracle.” I said.
    “Me too.” she said.
    “See you at the shop.” I said.
    “Yeah.”
    The call dropped and I smiled.
    Before next week ends, I’m sure to get the money for dad’s hospital bill.
    I sat down, picked a chopsticks and began eating.
    It’s good that the hospital haven’t called back.
    Just then a message came on my phone.
    I took the phone and it’s from Love Hospital.
    I sighed.
    “I’m certainly changing the name to Money Hospital.” I said.
    ‘Should I open it?
    Nope.
    Maybe I should.
    No, not yet.
    Let me just read it.’
    I opened the message and read, the chopsticks fell off my hand at what I read.
    Half of my dad’s hospital bill has been paid by someone they kept anonymous.

    (Jasmin’s residence)
    Jasmin
    Coming out from the bathroom, my phone was ringing. I’ve decided to switch them on.
    I picked it up from the bed and smiled at the caller id. Tee tee.
    I picked the call.
    “What a relief, I was able to get you today. Did you have to switch all the lines. I was really worried.” she said.
    “I’m sorry Tee tee. I don’t need to explain to you. You must have seen it.” I said.
    “Yes I did. It’s all over the newspapers and TV news. Why haven’t you done anything about it?” she said.
    “Williams, T.A and everyone says she should be arrested but I don’t think it’s a nice idea. I think meeting her and letting her explain herself would be much better, then I would know what to do after her explanations.” I said.
    “You think so? Meeting her would only worsen things. She would certainly give you some well practiced lies and make you believe her. Seriously that’s what con artist are all about. They will make you see and believe every lies they say and dupe you more. Get her arrested J.”
    “Tee I don’t think she’s a con artist.” I said.
    “Then what is she, some crazy social media girl seeking attentions?” she asked.
    “I don’t think it’s that either.” I said.
    “Then what?”
    “I’m gonna find out today.”
    “Wait, don’t tell me you are going to see her?”
    “Yeah I am.”
    “Come on Jasmin. You have no idea what you are doing! Everyone is telling you the right thing to do. Come on.”
    “Tee for once, I wanna do what I think is right, not what everyone think is right.” I said.
    I heard her sigh. “You are being stubborn J.”
    “I know. So how is King. Did you guys go on a date?” I asked. I have no idea why I did. Maybe cos I can’t help the jealousy.
    “Not yet. He’s always busy,” she said.
    I exhaled. “I hope he gets the little time for you.”
    “I hope so too.” she said.
    “I think we have to talk later Tee, bye for now.”
    “Come on, are you getting annoyed?”
    “No, I’m just busy. I will call you after. Bye Tee,” I said, dropped the call and fling the phone on the bed in anger, stared at the phone until the anger subsided. I exhaled and sat down on the bed.
    I’m sorry J but I can’t date a superstar and I don’t love you romantically. I love you like a brother. Im sorry,” that was what Tee tee had said the day I finally mustered courage and told her that I really love her and want us to date.
    “Why Tee, why should I be your brother and not your boyfriend. If it’s about being a superstar, I promise It won’t come in between us. I would always love only you and be beside you all the time. I promise. I’ve loved you all this years and I finally had the courage to confess to you today.” I had said.
    “No J, I’m really sorry. It can’t work between us. I want us to be the best friends that we’ve been.” She had said.
    “Is it really about me being a superstar and me being like your brother, or is there something else I need to know?” I had asked.
    “Actually, there’s someone that I love.” she said.
    “You mean romantically?” I asked.
    “Yes.”
    “Wh..who?”
    “It’s King. I love King.” she had said.
    That night I fell ill and missed a show I was supposed to go two days later.
    Tee tee and King became my friends when I resumed high school in Thailand. They were the only friends I had and still have.
    I’ve always loved Tee tee but i had no idea that she loved King not me.
    For all I know, King is a playboy and don’t love Tee tee like I do.
    He doesn’t get out time for her but she still keep on loving him still and want to be with him.
    Even though I’ve tried to stop my love for Tee but it’s still there. I still want her and seeing that she is crazy about a guy who doesn’t love her or cherish her love for him makes me go insane.
    The door opened and Minah walked in.
    “Breakfast is ready sir,” she said.
    “I don’t feel like eating. Take it away.” I said.
    “Ye yes sir,” she bowed and left.
    (Hours later At Saara Collection )
    Sara
    “Oh my, it fits me really good.” Lisa said. Lisa is one of the three ladies that Ha nah talked about.
    I smiled. “Yes it does. Oh my, your hips are all out.” I said.
    She smiled. “And I love the way, my cleavage is out.. but I think here is kinda bulky.” she said.
    “Uhm yeah, I think so. My tailor will give it more touches but you’ll have to be back tomorrow for it.” I said.
    “No problem. Let me go pull it off,” she said.
    “I will help you with the zip.” I said and unzipped the dress.
    “Thank you sweetie, you are really lucky.” she said.
    “Ah?” I said.
    She smiled. “Being Jasmin’s girlfriend must be really wonderful. He’s so handsome and his body is one in a million. He shows of his six packs when he dances and I go crazy about that.
    I always go through his photoshoots and I’ll be like wow, such a breathtaking guy and to top it all, he’s super rich.
    He’s net worth is breathtaking.
    Everything about him is so sweet. I’m sure he’ll build you a mall soon. You are really lucky baby girl.”
    My brows were raised all this while she was talking..and when she finished and was grinning at me, I got myself together, cleared my throat and smiled. “Yes that’s right. That’s right. He really loves me. We love each other.” I said.
    “What do you like most on his body?” she asked.
    What?
    “Ehm,,, uhm.. I love everything about his body. Yes, everything.” I said.
    “Of course everything about it is perfect, but you should know, dating a superstar who dances and walks the stage shirtless is really dangerous. He has millions of crush. It’s impossible he would not cheat on you. Every girl would want to..” she came closer to my ear.. “..F U C K him.”
    What?
    “Uhm.. I will leave now, I think my tailor want to see me.” I said and walked out before she says something more.
    Who talks so carefree like that?
    Arghh I’m really going crazy.
    Lisa
    I chuckled as she left.
    ‘I’m really good at talking, right?
    But that’s the truth anyways. If I grab such an opportunity, geez.. He’s so hot.’
    She isn’t even that beautiful or sexy.
    So annoying!
    Tch!
    I pulled off the dress and took more look at it.
    ‘She’s quite good at it, but not really good. I wouldn’t be here if she isn’t his girlfriend.
    Still annoying!
    I hope they break up soon!’

    Sara
    “…that girl is a loud mouth.” I said to Ha nah.
    “I noticed it once she walked in. She look like a hoe. The way she dressed and praised her cleavage. She certainly here for something other than buying a dress.” Ha nah said.
    “Like what?” I asked.
    “Like she was hoping to see Jasmin or something like that.” She said.
    “Really?”
    “Okay babes!” That was her as she walked out with the dress.
    Ha nah got up and collected it from her.
    “My designer have told me where to give it touches, I will do that fine. We apologise for you not being able to take it today.” Han ah said.
    She smiled. “That’s okay. I’m not annoyed abit. It would be nice to be here tomorrow.” she said and with that, she left.
    I sighed.
    “That was quite funny. Why was she flivking her lashes up and down. That was something else.” Ha nah said and sat down.
    “Let’s drop talks about the girl for now. About the tailors needed, have anyone contacted you. You need helps you know.” I said.
    “Are we gradually turning into a big fashion company?” she asked.
    I laughed.
    “Anyways, lots of them called me. Why won’t they? When their boss would be Jasmin’s girlfriend.”
    “I’m not his girlfriend.” I said.
    “Well, he’s your audio boyfriend then. That’s what I call it.” She said.
    “Audio boyfriend, tch..”
    “Miracles are really happening lately. I wonder the person who paid half bill of every patients in Love Hospital. That person must be swimming in the ocean of money.” Ha nah said.
    “Whoever it is, I’m very grateful. I might kiss his or her feet if I’m told to do so.” I said.
    “Stop joking. The Sara that I know can’t do such. A thank you would be enough.” Ha nah said.
    “I’m serious here.” I said.
    She looked out. “I heard a car pull up. Are we getting another customer?” she said.
    “I turned and looked out the window. “Such a nice car.” I said.
    “Even the rich are coming to buy from us. I’m actually dreaming, I don’t think this is reality,” Ha nah said.
    The car door opened and a man stepped out..
    “It’s a man,” Ha nah said.
    I gasped when I saw the man’s face.
    “Oh my God Ha nah it’s the man with Jasmin at the hospital yesterday.” I said.
    “Oh my!! What are we going to do?” She asked.
    “I don’t know. I’m freaking scared! He’s coming.” I said.
    She turned to me.
    “You know, go and hide. I will know what to say to him.”
    “Hide? What are you going to say to him?”
    “That you are not in the shop. Go now, he’s almost getting to the door.”
    “Huh, should I go hide?”
    “Go Sara.. For now, go and hide.” she said.
    “Okay okay,” I said and ran off to hide.
    From where I hide, with my heart fast and loud, I could hear Ha nah say
    “hello, welcome sir,” to him.
    “Thank you. I’m very sure this is Saara Collection, right?” The baritone voice asked.
    “Ye yes, you are right sir, this is Saara collection.” Ha nah said, I could feel the fear in her voice.
    “And you are not the owner of this place, right?”
    “Uhm, we run the shop together, she’s the.. the designer and Im the tailor.” Ha nah said. “Sir, what can I help you with..do do you want a dress for your girlfriend,?” she asked.
    Ha! What?
    “You don’t have to worry, you you are in the right place. May I see her full picture so I can pick out a dress that will look really beautiful on her.” Ha nah said.
    Ha nah what are you doing. You should be sending him out not welcoming him in.
    “Ofcourse, im in the right place.” he said.
    “Yes sir,” she said.
    “Well, I’m here to see the designer. She have to come with me downstairs to that car over there. My boss is waiting to talk with her.” he said.
    I felt terrifying goosebumps on my skin.
    What I’m I going to do?
    Sara you are really in a big mess.
    “Eh sir, actually, she isn’t in the shop now. I would suggest you come back later. Tomorrow because she won’t be at the shop today.” Ha nah lied through her teeth.
    “Really? but why do I feel like you are lying young lady?” He asked.
    Oh..my!
    “Uh.. What? Why would I lie to you about that. She isn’t in the shop.”
    “Then I’m I permitted to search around. I’m very good at that.” he said.
    “N noo, you can’t do that.” Ha nah said.
    “I have to. I guess you know who I am and who my boss would be already. You should be lucky he didn’t decide to bring the police with him. Now, if you would excuse me, I would search every nook and cranny.” he said.
    “You can’t search sir. You can’t.”
    I have to do this. I have to do this.
    I inhaled, then exhaled.
    Yes, alright Sara. It’s time. It’s time.
    One, two, three!
    I came out of my hiding.
    “Here I am, I’m Sara.” I said, facing the man in suit.

    Someone can nor play with you guys small ni . If I say unknown POV you’ll all know the person. So I hope you enjoy this little trick of mine. Authoress Khalee
    Enjoy……

    Alex
    Rotimi and I exchanged looks. “Who is Laura? “.

    “Your wife. Tiwalade. She’s back. I was there but she doesnt seem to recognize Fiona and i”.

    I leaned forward immediately. “What do you mean Tiwalade is back and she’s the new CEO? “.

    “That’s what I saw”.

    “Does that mean, my Dad knew where she was the whole time? “.

    “Exactly Alex.You need to see her looking very hot”.

    “Wait, are you kidding right now? “.

    “Of course not. I saw her myself, I swear. You need to see her looking very classic, even her accent has changed. According to the rumors,she studied in England and not just that, she had one year experience in the company your Dad has shares with. Whats the name again ooo….. Royal Company”.

    I was suddenly sweating. Tiwa is alive. Tiwa is alive. My phone buzzed and I glance to see Basil’s Mom. Yes she’s not LOML again. Have changed it.

    Hello, Basil has started again o.
    what?!

    You heard me clearly, be fast and bring money. So I can take him to the hospital
    Okay, i’ll be with you.

    “Whats up? “. Rotimi asked immediately Nora disconnected the call.

    “It Basil again”.

    “Are you sure that boy is not a sickler”. Lewis asked. For Christ sake, that boy can’t be a sickler. Nora is As and am AA.

    “Thats what I just told him, you need to get a test done”.

    I nodded, pick my car key and left the bar without saying bye to my friends. I had lots on my mind.How come Tiwa is back as the CEO and Basil, could it be true? Thats he’s not my son. I feel like my head is gonna explode, I need answers.

    Tiwa
    “Laura, won’t you go and say hi to Alex? “. Justin asked chewing a gum busy on his phone. Probably flirting with girls again..
    “Why do you have to bring that up now? “..
    “Am just saying…..

    “Then you should stop saying”.

    “Laura, you know quite well. His parent sent us to school and took us like their kids. You can….

    “Then we’re their children”.

    “We are not. Our parents is in the Village”..

    “Olamide, can’t you just stop”.
    “It Justin please”
    .
    I rolled my eyes. “We’re not in England again”.

    “Tiwa…….
    “Don’t call me that, We’re not in England. Am your elder sister, three years older than you. Behave yourself”.

    “Seriously…… Is this because I talked about Alex? But you can’t run away from the fact that you’re still married to him”.

    “Get out of my room, Olamide…. “. I said pointing at the door. “It was a mistake opening the door for you in the first place”.

    “E don reach like that? “. He asked in pidgin.

    I maintained my angry face. “Get the hell out of my room”.

    “Okay okay, sorry “. With that he stood up and tried to carry the French fries.

    “And what the hell, do you think you’re doing, huh? “.

    “Shuuuu…. I was the one that brought it na. Why can’t I carry it again”.

    “I dont care”.

    “Okay o, please eat everything including the bowl. Mind you, am going to the villa this weekend”. I ignored him and he left the room.
    I locked the door behind then move to the full length mirror, where I stripped. I stared at my naked body. I touched a burn on my stomach. I can never forget it, I got it on the day I mistakenly scorch Nora’s dress and she use the iron to burn me.

    I move to the wardrobe where I brought my towel out. I tied it around me then move to the door. I opened to look out whether i’ll see any maid.

    “Hey”. I called out to a maid going downstairs.

    She turned and came to me. “Madam Laura”. She bowed.
    “Are you doing anything right now? “.

    “No madam”.

    “Okay, I need you to help prepare my bath water”.

    “Sure Ma, right away”. With that I entered the room and she followed suite. I sat on the bed while she went into the bathroom.
    Soon she came out. “Am done, Ma”.

    “Oh right, thank you so much”.

    “Anything you want me to help with, Ma? “.

    “Ummm, not at all… Okay just go tell Dad, I’ll be with him shortly.

    He had told me to give feedback on my first day at work.

    The maid left the room and i locked the door. Ever since the incidents between Nora and I, that she always barge in. I always make sure to lock my door.

    I entered the bathroom, placed my towel on the basin, covered my hair with net and got in the bathtub soaking myself.

    Lots has happened over the years. It been five good years since I ran from Alex’s house. It was Mr Philips plan. He told me to leave the house and I lodged in a hotel because Alex might come to their place.

    I was surprised when I saw Mrs Philips with him. She asked for my forgiveness again and I told her, I have forgiven her already. Then they took me to the village.

    I was shocked when they made the reason why they made me escape known. They wanted me to continue my education. I was so happy and same with my family. Since my immediate brother was through with secondary school.
    They sent both of us abroad and took us like their own children. We never lacked anything. And here we are today, all thanks to Mr Philips and his wife. He won’t stop amazing me. Imagine him, making me the CEO of his Factory.

    Alex
    I stood by the dressing mirror and adjusted my shirt. Am putting on a neat well ironed white and a blue jean trouser. I had my hair barb the previous day. I made sure I sprayed a fine perfume on my shirt and trouser.

    I dont know why am doing this, all because am going to see Tiwa but I find myself doing it.I feel so nervous. Today is the D-day, am going to Basil test result and check my wife in the factory. Yes she’s my wife. Only her. We’re legally married..

    [Previously on Audio boyfriend:]

    “What’s the noise?” I came out from the bed, wore my slippers and headed out to the door.
    Once I opened the door, I flinched at the number of mics and phones that were stretched to
    my mouth.
    Miss Park Sara, is it true that you are dating Jasmin Taylor?
    Did he really propose to you the day he arrived to south Korea?
    As a poor girl, How does it feel being a girlfriend to the superstar?
    You both were bestfriends, how did it feel when you both got separated?

    Sara
    How did you become bestfriends with Jasmin?
    Are you the reason why he came back to South Korea?
    I inhaled, exhaled, cleared my throat and smiled.
    “May I speak now?” I asked.
    Yes, go on.
    I widened my smile, making sure it appear convincing.
    “Jasmin and I were friends from kindergarten. His mom and my mom were close friends…
    Actually my mom worked in his house so I was always there. We kept being very close
    friends until he…” I paused to show that I’m about to say something that is saddening.. “..he
    left with his mom and for weeks, I didn’t see him. How saddening it was for me. All this
    years, I’ve been waiting for him to come back. I thought he’s never gonna remember me..” I
    exhaled. “..I’m really speechless. I don’t know what else to say, I’m too excited to say
    anything.”
    how does it feel to be Jasmin’s girlfriend?
    “Like I just said, I’m excited. I love you J! I said.
    Wowwww. Awwwn
    You are a designer, right?
    I smiled.
    The Opportunity is now!
    “Yes I am. Saara collection. It’s located at 302 Baeking. You can visit my website at
    www.Saaracollection.com.” I said and grinned.
    Wow, I guess it would be sooo pretty to be Jasmin’s designer. Right?
    “We are talking about that.” I said, smiling.
    such a sweet match.
    “May I go in now?”
    One more question.
    One more question
    Arghhh, quite tiring.

    (Jasmin’s residence)
    Jasmin
    “Jasmin and I were friends from kindergarten. His mom and my mom were close friends…
    Actually my mom worked in his house so I was always there. We kept being very close
    friends until he…” I paused to show that I’m about to say something that is saddening.. “..he

    really speechless. I don’t know what else to say, I’m too excited to say anything.”
    “Oh what the damn.. How can some lie so good?” William said.
    how does it feel to be Jasmin’s girlfriend?
    “Like I just said, I’m excited. I love you J!
    I grabbed the remote to switch off the damn TV.
    “No J.. Wait, don’t.” Williams said and collected the remote from me.
    Williams is my manager.
    “You are a designer, right?
    “Yes I am. Saara collection. It’s located at 302 Baeking. You can visit my website at
    www.Saaracollection.com.”
    Wow, I guess it would be sooo pretty to be Jasmin’s designer. Right?
    “We are talking about that.”
    such a sweet match.
    “May I go in now?”
    One more question.
    “Switch off the damn TV Williams,” I said.
    He did and dropped the remote.
    “Wow.. Some people are damn good at lying. I’m most surprised.” he said.
    I stood up from the couch.
    “What did she say her address is?” I asked.
    “Uhmm I can’t remember the address but I remember the website. I’m gonna search for it
    now.” he said and picked his phone.
    “Saara collections. Her shop address is at 302 Baeking. It’s not that far from her. A twenty
    minutes drive, if I should guess.” he said.
    “Alright. I’ll think of what to do.” I said.
    “What to do? arresting that lady is what should be done and it shouldn’t exceed today. She
    deserves an arrest. I can’t let this exceed today.” he said.
    “Don’t do anything. I will know what to do.”
    “Come on J..”
    The landline began ringing and he went for it.
    I headed to the bedroom, once in, I sat down.
    “What do I do?”
    I lay down and exhaled.
    “I can’t arrest her over this. Of course arresting her should be the best idea but I
    can’t..just..arrest that lady.”
    A phone began ringing.
    I picked it up from the bed.
    Ms T.A calling.
    I sighed and picked it up.
    “Hello T.A”
    “Jasmin, I saw the news some moment ago. This lady dropped her address which makes
    it easier for the police to get her. What’s keeping you from calling the police? Do you
    understand what this means?”
    “T.A the police doesn’t need to be involved in this. I will sort this out myself.” I said.
    “What are you talking about Jasmin. What are you gonna sort out yourself. Get her
    arrested and she will say the truth and you are free. This is a serious issue Jasmin.”
    “I know it is and believe me, I’m gonna sort it out myself. I’m dropping the call now.”
    “No wait, you have an interview next tomorrow and a show on saturday. What do you
    think they are gonna ask you Jasmin?”
    “I will know what to answer. Don’t worry about me. Bye.” I dropped the call.
    Ms T.A -Tonia Anthony, is the CEO of Créme Mode.
    I dropped the phone and moved over to the landline. I made a call.
    “Hello sir,”
    “Bring me a bottle of wine and tell Williams I’m gonna be alone for awhile.”
    “yes sir.”
    I dropped the handset.
    I need to think of how to sort this out.
    She must have had a reason for doing this.
    She came out of a ward and she was in tears, then she bumped into me.
    Was that some drama or a coincidence? Then what about the pictures.
    Ohh She planned it all, but no one knew I was going to the hospital.
    The more I think of this, the more my head seem to be splitting into ten.
    The door opened and Minah walked in.
    She dropped the tray, opened the wine and poured to the half of the wine glass.
    “He said he’ll be going out for awhile sir.” she said.
    “Alright.”
    She bowed and left.

    (Eli’s residence)
    Elizabeth

    “Ohhh Sister can you just change the channel. I don’t like news.” I pleaded.
    “Shh, you should go and complete your home works.” she said.
    “I have, three hours ago.” I said.
    “Let’s watch a little news then,” she said.
    “No please.. The news is so boring and annoying.” I said.
    “Wait, what’s this? Who’s she!? Jasmin and a poor designer dating.. The reason behind his
    visit to Seoul after fifteen years.” she said.
    My eyes went to the TV screen.
    “What!!” I screamed, almost terrified.
    The Unni at the hospital!
    “What’s that? Are you mad? I am too.” Sister said.
    “What.. What that Unni. The pictures. What”
    “What? Do you know her?”
    “Ehmm yes but that was days ago.” I said.
    She grabbed my arm. “Where Eli?”
    Aghsh I can’t tell her the truth.
    “I..I can’t rememember.” I lied.
    “Why can’t you? You are very smart. Are you lying to me?”
    You are a designer, right?
    “Yes I am. Saara collection. It’s located at Location 302 Baeking. You can visit my website at
    www.Saaracollection.com
    She let go off my arms.
    “Her address. I’m going to visit her.” she said.
    I raised my brows, “Why?”
    “She’s dating my oppa!” Sister said.
    I inhaled. “Alright.”
    That Unni… How could she?
    I was so right after all. She didnt only take the pictures but did the worse.
    Argh if my sister and my mom finds out, then I’m in a bigg trouble. What do I do.
    If she gets arrested, she mustn’t say I was behind the pictures taking.
    Please Lord, save me.
    ‘Oh my God, she is vomiting so much lies. Is she a con Artist?’
    Now I regret taking those pictured. “You don’t have to say much girl. I started it and I’m gonna end it after I’ve gotten
    what I want.” I said.
    “Really?”
    “Yes.. See I think you should bring your machines here. We will be getting so much work
    from onwards. I’m receiving so much emails and Dm’s already.” I said. “Here see,” I showed
    her my laptop screen.
    “Wow.. I can’t believe so many people want a design from Jasmin’s fake girlfriend.” Ha nah
    said.
    “I’m going to see my dad at the hospital soon. You should lock the shop okay,” I said.
    “No probs.”
    “Look at this one Ha nah. She’s saying how beautiful my designs are. This person is saying
    the same thing too. I can’t remember the last time someone said that about my designs,” I
    said.
    “This is really working. That was a smart thought tho.” Ha nah said.
    “Yes it is.”
    “But this is trouble too Sara. You are calling trouble. What if he bring cops to arrest you for
    lying about him huh?”
    I signed. “Yeah I did think about that,”
    “So?” she asked.
    “Nothing came in. I was getting this kinda trust that he wouldn’t call the police on me and I’m
    still getting it even now.” I said.
    “You better not be decieved by some kinda trust. Be expecting the police soon. “
    I sighed.
    “There’s nothing I could have done. This is between life and death. My dad’s life depend on
    this. I have to get this money for my dad to be treated. I’m tired of seeing him on that hospital
    bed. Tell me what I could have done. The doctor said I have only two weeks.” I said as tears
    gathered in my eyes.
    “I had nothing else I could think about than this.” I said as the tears rolled down.
    “If I get arrested then I’ll tell him the reason for my act.”
    She came over and hugged me. “That’s okay, you don’t have to cry.”
    “I have to. I’m tired of a day, no sell. I’m tired of seeing my dad still on the sick bed. I have to
    do something.” I cried.
    “I know. It’s fine. Stop the tears.”
    “No, let me cry ha nah.”
    “Alright then, cry OK, cry. Don’t hold back. Cry out.” she said and I did.

    (Jasmin’s residence)

     Jasmin’s

    I pulled on the leather jacket, followed by a watch, spread cologne and picked an eyeglass.
    The door opened and Williams walked in.
    “I’m done, you wanna come with me?” I said.
    “Of course I have to.” he said.
    “Gah-ja” I said.
    “You still good at the language tho,” he smiled.
    We walked out, got to my car and entered. He drove off.
    “I don’t know why I’m going to see this man again. I only thought of seeing him once. Do
    what I’m here to do and leave.” I said.
    “He’s your father and he’s on the sick bed. No matter what, you should feel it. It’s the blood.”
    He said
    “Then I wish I never had that blood. It freaks and added nothing good to my life.” I said.
    “Maybe you should see him for this last time, what do you think?”
    “Of course, for this last time. I don’t wanna get involved with him ever again.” I said.
    “Your step brother, do you like him? He’s young and doesn’t give a damn about taking over
    father’s business and all.” he said.
    “He gotta take it anyways. That’s their business.” I said.
    He smiled. “About the lady.”
    “I’ve gotten what to do.”
    “What”
    “I’m going to see her myself.” I said.
    “What, you want to..”
    “Yes and why I’m I having the feeling that I’m gonna see her at the hospital tonight? I don’t
    know.”

    (Love Hospital)

    Sara

    “Dad, I’m sorry I would have love to stay much longer with you but I’m getting lots of works
    already and I have to be busy this night, drawing and getting designs. I’m so sorry. Please
    hold on for me. I promise to get you up this bed soon. I promise dad,” I said and kissed his
    hand.
    “I will leave now, goodnight dad. I love you.”
    I got up from the chair, took a brief look at him and then walked out.
    Once, I was near the hallway, I heard low noises.
    Omo.. It’s really him..
    Aigoo, it’s him indeed. The Thailand superstar
    I gasped and stepped back.
    Hello everyone.. How are you doing?
    he said.
    I didn’t wait for another second, I removed the high heels I wore, and raced back to the room
    my dad is.
    Once in, I placed my hands on my knees to catch my breath.
    ‘Will I be able to go tonight. I have loads of works! Why’s he at the hospital again?’

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bechira <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    Moments beats moments in our lives, one thing is always either better or lesser than the other. For me, that moment, on the bed, enfolded by heat and the whole new feeling he gave me was perfect. The feeling his lips and tongues gave to my mouth, neck, cleavage, bosoms and stomachs was nothing. What I was experiencing was far more advance, deadly advance. I had my fingers squeezing the life out of the sheets with eyes closed and head thrown back into the pillow as he explore my lower part.

    The feeling was a great mix of fire, lightning and…and…geez! I don’t know. The hot draw of his lips, the moist of his warm tongue swept me clean. His hard male fingers slid past my soft folds of skin, pushing in and out of me, filling me up and burning me. My stomach tightened with every new pace he drove at, the pleasure built up higher at each passing minutes. I could feel my heart struggling to keep up with the demands the new feeling was placing on it, I could barely breathe. It beat hard and fast, a pleasure in and of itself. It was the best feeling in the world, at least to me it was.

    ‘Noriel,’ I moaned under my very breath. I was right when I said sex would kill me, the heat alone would have if I wasn’t well already. He smirked against me, he wasn’t done yet. My hands left the sheet as he took a new method, one that had me screaming and pulling at my own hair as the pleasure burst inside of me. Desperate for more, I bucked my hips like I would die if I don’t do that. That was it, hot pulsing relief flooded out through my cunt, causing it to grip tighter around his plunging fingers. He wiped it all off with his tongue, leaving me to shudder and gasp with pleasure and exhaustion.
    I covered my face with my hands, couldn’t believe I was the one under a guy and getting a head. Hope he won’t suggest I queen him, I won’t be able to stand properly. ‘Tired?’ He asked playfully.

    ‘I can’t breathe,’ I puffed, dropping my hands. ‘Where did you learn how to do that when you have always been stuck in here?’

    ‘I’m a three thousand years old being who have seen a lot, I watched civilization grow and rotten and it is partially my doing, I would know what to do to tempt a woman.’ True, very true. He didn’t let me ask the next bothering question, his lips came back to mine, reminding of how I almost died of lack of breath the first time. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist the sour sweetness it gave, I was tasting myself and I liked it.

    He sat up and reached for his drawer, what for? ‘What’s wrong?’
    ‘You wouldn’t want a baby, would you?’ The thought alone made me shudder spastically, I didn’t mind at all. I’ve always wanted a baby, one I could pamper and give the life I never got to live. Carrying his would make me the happiest person. I swayed my mind back to the present happening, him unwrapping a sheath. I rolled my eyes, it’s my baby, right?

    ‘I don’t want to use that,’

    ‘If we don’t use that, you’ll get pregnant for sure, no doubting it.’

    ‘Well, I don’t mind carrying your baby, or do you?’

    ‘That’s a big step love, you sure about it?’

    ‘Don’t use that on me,’ I said adamantly.

    ‘As milady wishes,’ he smiled, throwing the sheath away. He climbed back on the bed and took my lips in his, sure it was a big and fast decision but I’d always wanted one. Imagine having a child for him, my baby will be gorgeous. A spasm of excitement, nervousness and anticipation rushed through my veins as his choad rubbed against me. My toes curled up, awaiting the bittersweet feeling but he was intentionally torturing me.

    ‘Noriel,’ I groaned. He let out a low chuckle and slid his tongue back to the place where he marked me.
    That was all the distraction I needed, I sank my teeth into my inside cheek and lip. The pain was suggesting a syncope for me but I wasn’t going to take the offer. I sealed my eyes shut and embraced the pain.

    ‘Sorry,’ he whispered. I nodded, sooner than any word called later, the bitterness was gone and my body was soon vibrating with pleasure. I moaned and threw my hands around his shoulders as he started off with gentle thrusts. The pleasure tore through me, heaving my body. It was undeniably sweet and better than any I had felt in my entire life.

    What have been done had already been done, I was his mate now.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Aaron <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    Jeff was reckless, in pain, in tears. I knew what was up, she had hidden chosen him over me or he forced her; either way, she was his now. The anger raging me was so intense my body shuddered endlessly. She was gone now, never to be mine again.
    ‘Sovereign,’ Leslie called.

    ‘I demanded to be left alone,’ I snapped.

    ‘It is very important I speak to you….’

    ‘Get out Leslie!!!’ I roared, she squeaked and ran out. Noriel, Noriel, Noriel!!! I puffed out through my nostrils, now I will really end you.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bechira <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    I skipped down the mountain as I sang to myself, woke up to a beautiful morning. Noriel refused to wake up, he was in a deep sleep with his entire body glowing so I took a walk. Washed up, wore his long shirt and woolly sneakers for fun. My hands were buried along with my neck but at least, he scent was allover me. Some guards greeted me warmly, I waved at them happily. The next thing is calling dad and filling him on the detail, I’m no longer a virgin!
    I cupped my mouth and giggled, last night was amazing to me. He was really gentle and I appreciate that. I was about jumping down a small slope when my feet left the ground. At first, I thought it was him but the thing was lifting me far above the mountain. I started screaming and calling for help but all the men were rooted to the ground by force. ‘Noriel!!! Noriel!!!’ I hollered in great fright.

     A oyster portal opened up in the sky above me and dragged me in.

    I screamed loudly as I was whipped to and forth in the portal, whirled and joggled as I fell down or up, whatever, it was severe. Another portal opened below me, I fell through it and landed in a bluish gray water. I spluttered and swam out to the glass floor, where the heck am I?! I sat down and looked around the crystal cave, where am I?

    ‘Unimportant,’ I screamed at first before relaxing and staring at the woman. ‘I’m not his mother, just borrowed her face. ‘

    ‘Where am I?’

    ‘Where you will get your answers,’
    ‘Which is?’

    ‘Why you were reincarnated,’ she smiled, interesting topic. I folded my legs and listened. ‘The main question should be why were you given to Noriel who is of pure darkness than Aaron who has light. Simple, your mission was to separate the darkness from the light, remove the dark force from the other. Aaron is loyal, nice, easy to change because he will never hurt people but Noriel is a killer, god of discord. Aaron’s light conquered his darkness in a way but if Noriel was to have conquered his light,’ she paused and laughed sinisterly. ‘That would have been the end. We the force of all force, the universe and powers beyond your comprehension came to the conclusion that he needed something to keep his light active, someone who would give it a reason to be active; in other world, you.’

    ‘Then why did I free Aaron?’

    ‘One, Aaron walking the earth wouldn’t cause damage but Noriel,’ she chuckled again. ‘He would have destroyed everything, killed Aaron beforehand. Reason number two, by touching his stone, you connected Noriel’s light to the full one in Aaron. As long as Aaron’s light grew brighter, it helped weaken the darkness in him and also helped give Noriel enough compassion to love him very dearly. Noriel love Aaron with his life, that is the link you created between them. You are not Aaron’s mate, just the bridge connecting both emotionally.

    By loving both you and Aaron dearly and being connected to the light in him, Noriel remained at bay somehow. Now, your final job is to have Noriel himself give up his darkness for the sake of his good side, his love for you.’

    ‘How?’

    ‘A life for a life Bechira,’ she said sadly. ‘He will trade his darkness, for you.’

    Huh?

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Aaron <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    Both brothers were enraged, one angry because his brother marked his mate and the other thinking his brother stole her while he was stuck in his sleep. The battle was on, something they decided to settle once and for all. Armies of good and evil faced each other in a clear desert ground under a thundering gray sky. It was dark already, late in the night yet both side were ready to fight. The twins stared at each other with so much hate or anger rather.

    ‘Where is Bechira?’ Noriel snarled.
    ‘Why are you asking me? You stole her away from me and claimed her,’ Aaron hissed. ‘I will make you pay!’

    ‘Aaron!!!’ Noriel thundered.
    ‘Where is my mate!!!!’

    ‘Where is she!!!!’ They roared at each other. Both sides quickly clashed together like a raging tide, falling and rising. Neither of the twins moved nor did anyone neared them as they slayed each other. Growls, snarls, barks, bite, slashes, fire and every means were thrown at each other. The two brothers remained rooted, eyeing themselves from their position.

    ‘For the last time Aaron, where is my mate?’ Noriel asked rather calmly.

    ‘I should be asking you that!’ That was all it took, Noriel ran across the large ground in a flicker and threw Aaron far away from the others. Like a cat, he landed on his feet, refusing to let his back touch the ground because of a single toss. The others stopped, all paying attention to the Sovereign Alphas battle. Aaron and snarled at Noriel, his mane flowing down as he slowly shifted.

    The others were not aware of their size, so they didn’t shift away, not until the large black Alpha lion with golden lightning stood up way tall. Noriel was fast enough to shift too, their colours brought confusion. How was Aaron black and Noriel white? Their confusion did nothing to hold the battle, the beasts charged at each other with vicious snarls. They wrestled and clawed at each other, rolling on the quaking ground and passing electricity to the other. Noriel got a good bite at his brother’s lion’s neck, just one rip but he let go, his better conscience sweeping in. Aaron was fast to use that opportunity to bulldoze him, hurling him across the trembling supernaturals watching the fight. They hadn’t even started using their real powers yet, powers that would cause greater destruction.

    Aaron roared to the sky, surge of golden lightning whipped down to strike Noriel, in a blink of an eye, a pair of double blade wings sprouted out of his back and shielded him from the attack. The wings were red, thick, sharp. He spread the wings and flapped it, sending the lightning back to it owner. Aaron slammed his heavy and large paws on the ground, the earth shielded him from his own lightning. The earth lowered it armour around him, revealing his own addition form. Two large golden tusks and long golden spikes trailing on his back. They had shifted to kinetic energy, stage two.

    From the core of the galaxy, a large ray of light burst in between them, breaking deep into the earth. The entire desert split, like a bad drought. Some already fled, flew still stayed. ‘Today wasn’t the day,’ a deep voice said calmly from the middle of the ray. ‘Why did you fight?’

    ‘He took my mate!’

    ‘You took her from me first!’ Of course, no one could hear their telepathic accusations. Bechira’s body lowered down, her hands and legs chained apart by invisible forces. ‘What are you….’
    ‘Everything is set with time, she is the reason you broke the rules so her life will be used as replacement for yours.’

    ‘Who the fuck are you to tell me that!’

    ‘Nothing but something, in other to save her, one must remove his stone from his own chest.’ The voice said again.

    ‘What! Removing it will kill us!’ Aaron shouted.

    ‘It’s either her, or you. Whom will it be?’ Noriel looked at Aaron’s large lion, he wasn’t ready to leave but he couldn’t let her nor his brother die. Bechira was his life, the only thing he lived for. His lion whimpered as his stone glowed, the darkness trying to fight his emotions. He slowly shifted back to his human form, his body trembling from his sad decision.
    ‘I’ll give up mine,’ he said softly. ‘You must promise to take care of her, love her like I do or more,: he said not looking at his brother. His eyes went deep and red as blood flowed out of his nose because of the internal battle. ‘Remind her of why she must ne’er forget me.’ With that said, he sank his claws into his chest and with a painful smile, ripped his stone out.

    Black energy burst out of the red stone and dashed into the sky, it rolled around in a dancy manner and flashed down to Aaron to take his remaining dark energy. Jeff roared, the pain tearing his own stone open and releasing all the energy in him, the light and little dark force. The two separated dark force combined as did the light. Both forces entangled each other again like they used to and dashed into the ray, back to where they ought to be.

    The clash sent a heavy wave of power through the desert, causing an intense explosion of wind. Everyone in sight, blacked out.

    Theme: (A bloody adventure) 

    By Authoress Ti Fe
                 
                    BETTY’S POV

    We walked up to the hill in silence. I was still very shocked about what happened to Jay.

    He should have just come out, Now we have lost him. It is so horrifying, I can’t seem to forget about it.

    “Hey.” The guy that lead us from the river said close to me.

    “Hi” I replied cleaning my tears.

    “Am sorry about your friend.” He said and I nodded trying not to let another tear out.

    I looked back and I saw Tessy crying profusely in Steven’s hand.

    “I guess we have to work together now, I am Ray.” He said stretching his hand to me.

    “Betty.” I replied receiving it.

    “Nice name.” He replied smiling.

    “Thanks.” I said trying to smile a little.

    “When did you get here?” He asked as we lead the way, Tessy, Steven and another guy that came with Ray trialed behind us.

    “Today, and this happened.” I said frustratingly.

    “Am sorry about that. Actually, I have been in the woods for three days now and like jay, three of them are dead. Living Den and I.” He said sadly.

    “Am sorry about that. I never knew this wood is this dangerous.” I said shivering.

    “It really is, you just need to be courageous and we all need to stick together. No playing around, strictly business.” He said smiling.

    “Yeah I understand. I am just so scared, I can’t wait to be down here.” I said rubbing my arms with my palm.

    “It will be fine, just stay brave. But can I ask you a question?” He asked narrowing his eyes.

    “Sure go ahead.” I said shrugging my shoulders.

    “Why are you here after the news that it is dangerous.” He said.

    “Actually, I am not really here for the Treasure.” I said sighing.

    “So what are you here for?” He asked looking puzzled.

    “I came here to forget all about my Ex. He was getting to me so much so I thought of going on an adventure to forget about him.” I said rolling my eyes.

    “Oh I am so sorry Betty.” He said sadly.

    “Its nothing.” I said looking up to the skies.

    “Its running late, we need to look for a place to overnight.” He said bringing our his torchlight and putting it on the map.

    “Guys I think I found a place to lay our heads for the night!” He said loudly so the people behind us could hear.

    “Yes please, I need to rest. I feel like I am going to collapse soon, this is so hard to bear.” Tessy said sobbing in Steven’s arms.

    I looked at her and I understood exactly how she felt.

    “Please pull yourself together Tessy.” I said trying to smile, and she nodded sadly.
    We walked some meters till we got to an open space. It was a sea shore, it was dark already.

    Everyone and I brought out our torchlight to help us see. We had tents in our backpacks.

    We got to a spot and placed our bags on the ground.

    “We need to make a fire to keep us warm. I will be back.” Ray said and we all nodded.

    We started making our tents, and in no time we were done. We had four tents altogether.

    One for Tessy and Steven, one for Den, one for me and one for Ray. Den made Ray’s tent close to him.

    He was silent throughout we made the tent. My tent was at right side of Ray’s tent while Den’s was at the left.

    We all sat in front of our tents waiting for Ray to come with the firewood. I checked my bag for my phone, then I remembered we had bread in our bag.

    “Tessy, Steven, eat up.” I said showing them the bread in my hand. They nodded and I faced my phone.

    “There can’t be network.” Den said coldly.

    “Yeah, just saw it.” I said sighing. I looked at him and I saw him stare at the waters.

    “I am Betty.” I said smiling.

    “Den.” He replied still staring at the sea.

    “You want some?” I asked stretching my bread to him.

    “Yes, I haven’t eaten since last night.” He said sadly and I felt pity for him.

    That means Ray is yet to eat too, I will have to keep some for him.

    “Thank you?” He said cutting part of the bread. I reached for my bag and brought out my bottle water.

    “Here.” I said stretching it to him.

    “Thank you.” He mumbled as he devoured the bread.

    I nodded and took a bite of my bread chewing it slowly. I sat on the ground hugging my legs to my body.

    The sea breeze kept blowing her hair around, covering my face with it. I wasn’t really affected with the breeze because I had my fur coat on.

    Soon I heard footsteps walking towards us. I quickly lighted my touch in fear, and I saw Ray carrying some woods on his shoulders.

    He threw them on the floor, and squatted to start preparing the fire. I watched him with my torch on and I saw a snake tattoo on his arm close to his shoulders.

    It looked very beautiful and black. The fire was on in no time and we all moved to sit around it.

    He sat staring into the fire, while I moved close to him sitting near him.
    “Here, eat this.” I said giving him the bread.

    “Thanks, was starving already.” He said biting the bread slowly. I moved my water to him and he looked at me smiling.

    Everywhere became so quiet, i could hear the sound of the waves of the sea and that of animals.

    Tessy was in Steven arms and Den was just speechlessly staring at the fire. Ray chewed his bread silently, while I closed my eyes remembering home.

    IVY POWELL
    Its been months since I’ve been discharged from the hospital and everything had gone back to normal.

    Also resumed classes, right now I’d to get to school on time to hang out with Kellie .

    Well Kay has changed a lot, he’s not his usual self but recently he acts more manly and barely say few words.

    Have you ever heard of a player turning into an introvert over night?

    Well I won’t blame him , judging from what happened few months back he won’t dare make such mistakes.

    Maybe I miss the old Kay that would argue and fight with me all day long.

    I sighed sadly and picked up my backpack before exiting my room.

    I head downstairs to meet my dramatic parents giggling while having breakfast.

    ” good morning dad and mom.” I mumbled and picked up a pancake.

    “Morning baby how was your night?” Mom smiled at me.

    ” morning dear , kindly seat and have breakfast with us.” Dad said gesturing to my chair.

    I nodded negatively.

    “ERM I’ve to get to school early. Bye mom and dad , I love you.” I grabbed few more pancakes and headed to the door to avoid further questions.

    I got outta the house only to meet a black SUV parking in front of my house with man in black suit standing beside it.

    Are we expecting someone special?

    I shrugged and wanted walking pass him when he spoke up.

    “Good morning ma’am Mr knights instructed I bring you to school.” He said politely.

    Wtf Mr knights ? As in jayden Knights ? Nah it might just be the prodigal son.

    “By Mr Knights you meant Kulture right?” I asked to satisfy my curiosity.

    He nods and bow slight .

    Great ! So he decides to remember me today? Whatever.

    ” am sorry but I can’t go with you. I’ll find my way to school.” I said sternly.

    ” try and understand the fact that the young master doesn’t take no for an answer. He asked me not to return without you.” He added.

    I exhaled deeply and angrily wlked towards the back seat door.

    He opened the door for me and I got in.

    *
    The car came to halt at the school gate.he came outta the car and opened the door for me again while I got out.

    “Thanks.” I mumbled and walked into school.

    “Just the person i was looking for. Come with me .” kel came outta nowhere and pulled me along.
    “Slow down Kel you’re moving too fast.” I complained.

    “Thats because am excited.” She giggled.

    “What’s this about again?” I frown .
    “I want to show you something interesting at the relaxation suit. Trust me you’re gonna love it.”she said happily.

    Okay what’s with the giggling?
    We stopped in front of the door and she opened it.

    I didn’t think twice before entering only to meet Kay seated on the couch with his legs crossed stylishly.

    ” what’s this Kel ? Was this the reason why you dragged me up here?” I frown irritated already.

    ‘ okay what’s up with you two? Am giving you a chance to sort things out else you won’t be leaving this place. Bye!” With that she quickly got out and locked the door from the outside.

    Oh great just great I’m trapped in same place with Kay.

    I sigh and slumped on the couch beside his.

    “How have you been?’he spoke up not staring at me.

    “Well have been fine since someone had decided to stay off grid.” I glared.

    He shrug and kept mute getting me infuriated.

    His silence provokes me.

    “Seriously dude? Seriously? God you’re so unbelievable.”I rolled my eyes sulking.

    “Am sorry.” He muttered.

    What kinda apology is this?

    “Sorry that you have been avoiding me! Or sorry that you suck at being an introvert.” I said sternly.

    ” am sorry for everything , I just felt I’m not good enough for you. I can’t be that perfect friend, to crown it all I don’t even deserve someone as pure hearted as you’re.” He said and I stood up and gave him a slap.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Aaron <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    My head hurt, something wasn’t right, like someone was reaching out to me but something was blocking it. I massaged my temples, what is hurting me now? I scoffed painfully and bit down on my lower lip, what is wrong with me? Why isn’t Bechira back yet? I need to tell her I’ve decided, I can’t selfishly keep her when I am not certain about my feelings. It will hurt her but she will have to manage it.
    ‘Hello?’ I directed my attention to Leslie who strolled in with a smile. She looked around and arched a brow. ‘Where’s Bechira? We are going clubbing.’
    ‘What clubbing?’
    ‘I don’t know, what is clubbing?’ She asked rudely. I glared at her. ‘I’m sorry. Where’s she?’
    ‘I don’t know, she went out on a stroll but is yet to return,’
    ‘And you didn’t check on her?’
    I shrugged. ‘She wanted privacy,’
    ‘Urgh!’ She groaned, biting down at her lower lip. ‘You are such a horrible mate!’
    ‘Excuse me?’
    ‘Seriously, what is wrong with you? I even thought you would check on her, see what’s going on. You claim to want to protect her but you ignore her, even when she needs you the most. What kind of fucking being are you!!!’
    ‘Do not speak to me with such….’
    ‘The fucking least you can do is fucking end my life! I seriously don’t regret a thing because you are the biggest idiot of the century…..’ Jeff roared at her insult, I used her to whip the wall and strangled her neck.
    ‘You will….’
    ‘Noriel has your mate you stupid fool,’ she gasped, I released her.
    ‘What?’
    ‘I’m just coming from the forest where I searched for her,’ she coughed and gasped. ‘I perceived vampires and faes and Bechira’s scent is gone.’
    ‘No, that’s not possible.’
    ‘Really, check on her, your brother easily slip in and out of your land and you cannot sense it.’
    ‘That’s a….’ I dashed out of the house straight to the forest, her scent was gone. ‘Noriel!!!!!’
    ‘Yeah?’ He chuckled in my head.
    ‘Get out of my head you annoying bad luck!’
    ‘Little brother, don’t you know it’s bad to yell at an elder?’
    ‘Where’s she?’
    ‘Sleeping, don’t worry, I won’t harm her, you know that.’
    ‘Why? What do you want from her? Just break your chains and what else? Kill her?!!!’
    ‘Unlike you Aaron, I don’t put this stupid war as my priority. I still have time to flex before I die or kill you so why stress myself,’
    ‘What are you talking about?’
    ‘Baby brother, looks like fate is playing a game with us. Your pretty little mate is also my mate, we both own her.’
    ‘How the fucking hell is that possible!’
    ‘Careful, angels don’t swear,’ he said laughingly. I groaned. ‘Like I said, she’s mine as well because we are twins, our power mixture makes us two bodies with one mind. It’s hard to explain but what’s mine is yours and blah blah something like that.’
    ‘That makes no sense!’
    ‘Oh it does,’ he chuckled. ‘Why do we communicate telepathically so easily? Why can I get close to you without any effect? Why are we somehow at peace but at war with each other? You have a little of my greater side in you, the one that should have completely killed all human emotions, that’s the one you have. As for me, I have the part of your light that waves compassion and all the bloody shit I shouldn’t be feeling. Pretty ironic and a very useless separation but what can I say, it’s not my doing. Anyways, what I wanna tell you is that it is her decision to choose who will be her mate and mind you, whoever she chooses will gain the greater power because somehow, she holds some kind of light that can grant more powers than we have. The power of the scale that was once broken. You will never see her again Aaron, at least not as your mate again because I’ll mark and claim her as mine.’
    ‘You are selfish! You just want her for the so called powers you mentioned!’ I yelled, how come he knows more than I do?
    ‘Easy, he takes his time to do his assignment and not just walk around gathering supernaturals for battle.’ Jeff replied angrily.
    ‘And that my dear, is very true.’ Noriel said humorously, it is so funny to him.
    ‘Keep your hands away from my mate, I’m warning you.’
    ‘You know what makes me better than you? For every sacrifice I make from the depth of my heart, comes a gift. I do not want her for the powers she bring, but for the love I have for her, the one I always had the moment she was born as Princess Danika. You cannot take her from me Aaron, I have waited a thousand years to finally hold her…..’
    ‘You won’t lay your filthy hands on my mate!!!’
    ‘She was originally my mate before she touched your fucking stone!’ He roared. ‘I watched her grow as a princess, did everything in my limited powers to make her father buy the island so I can lead her to me. Even after she ended up touching your stone that bond her to you, I still watched her, protected her as she became a knight. I mourned when she first died, rejoiced when she was reborn and yes, I watched her every step until the day you claimed her as your mate. You will not steal her again Aaron, I promise you that.’
    ‘Noriel…’ He broke our telepathic link, shattered it completely. The action caused thousands of church bells to bang in my head, the effect was extremely painful. I am such an idiot! I don’t know what’s going on but curse this stupid war, I’m going for my mate.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bechira <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    Sounds of dripping water slowly slipped into my semi consciousness, I slowly turned my head and groaned at the pain radiating from my neck. I sighed and tried to open my eyes, I remember what happened very well. Leslie really betrayed me, that’s harsh.
    ‘Careful,’ that voice. My eyes opened sharply as I sat up instantly, his face turned out to be just three inches away from mine. I was hit immediately by his hot breath, the feeling sending chill down my spine. ‘Good morning sleeping beauty, did you sleep well?’ Wait, where am I?
    I looked around, I was in a magnificent bedroom, even more than Aaron’s. I averted my eyes to his body, I scanned him from head to toes, normal. Hmmm, except the glowing heavy metal bands on his wrists, one I think is hurting him. ‘Where am I?’
    ‘Island, I upgraded it to look nice.’
    ‘How come? You are free?’
    ‘Not entirely,’ he raised his wrists. ‘They keep me tied here. After I used up all my energy to save you, I thought I would go blind or fall into a coma again but the chains broke instead. I got free in a sort of way so viola! The island’s mountain is now my castle.’
    ‘Aaron will find and take me back,’ I said confidently. He chuckled.
    ‘If he can find the island that is,’ he smirked. ‘Unlike him, I didn’t build my camp in the open, I have plans my love….’
    ‘My love? Leslie did mention us being mate, how come? Can you also shift back? You are distracting me with your face.’
    ‘I’m gorgeous, I know,’ he said proudly. He did shift back anyways. ‘As for your questions, I will answer them after you clean up and eat something.’
    ‘I won’t drink water until I get the answers I’ve been dying to get since I first knew I was the reincarnation of a dead girl.’
    ‘And I promise to give you all without hiding anything. Just clean up, and we will talk over breakfast, okay?’
    ‘Okay, where is the bathroom?’ I asked sheepishly, the way he was staring at me was unnerving. He jerked his head towards a foyer. ‘Everything I need?’
    ‘In there,’ he stood up from the bed, he is the god of seduction and he isn’t even trying to seduce me. One kiss and I swear I will fall. ‘Try not to speak so excited in your mind, when you do, I feel it and get tempted to read your thoughts.’ I now see what both brothers have in common, smirking is their spiritual wife. He chuckled, obviously hearing what I said in my head and zap! He was gone.
    ‘Great,’ I sighed. I tapped my red cheeks, is it so weird to be so comfortable around him already? His vibe already blends. Anyways, I jumped down from the bed, not as soft as the one back at Aaron’s but okay. I wonder what Aaron is doing about my disappearance and of course, that backstabber I took as a sister; I wonder what debt she owed Noriel.
    The walls were neatly plastered, still rocky but better. The bathroom was more fascinating, it was like walking into a cold cloud. Everything was made out of clouds, very diligently I doubted the possibility. The shit was real, damn real. I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush available, packed my hair into a bun and stripped from what I had on to bathe. As expected, the water was extremely chilled, too chilled but what choice do I have?
    ‘Nice,’ I smiled, scrutinizing the towel. It was my favourite design, rainbow in candy kingdom. It even had sparkles, lot of them. I dried my body and wrapped the towel around myself, so warm and cozy. ‘I can marry you,’ I cooed, hugging myself. I giggled at my stupidity and skipped out with my slippered feet. A dress was waiting for me on the bed, my favorite house wear! ‘Wow!’ I exclaimed. I picked up the spaghetti hand crop top and soft loose shorts. I slipped on the pink gladiator sandals and laced it up to my knees. ‘Now I look perfect.’
    After parking my wet hair into a ponytail, I found my way outside, to the living room that is and there I met my second surprise. ‘Twyla!’ I squealed, my fat cat. She lazily stretched and purred, I carried her happily. ‘Jeez! What have Leaf been feeding you? You are as heavy as a house,’ she purred again and snuggle herself against me.
    ‘I thought you might need a friendly face, she missed you,’ I looked over my shoulder, he was coming with a tray of food.
    ‘Leaf would be worried about her, he might think he have lost her.’
    ‘True, that’s that,’ I sat down on the leather cushion and tucked one leg under my butt. ‘Sorry, I burnt the egg and bacon a little, hope you can manage it?’ I dropped Twyla and examined the food, burnt but wow! When have any guy other than dad ever bring me breakfast in bed? Hmmm, well, almost in bed.
    ‘Thank you,’ I smiled shyly. I used my hands to eat, I enjoy breakfast that way. ‘Mm, too much salt,’
    ‘I accidentally turned the whole spoon in, is it that bad?’
    ‘Yes,’
    ‘Oh, I’ll order pizza then.’
    ‘Pizza?’ I chuckled.
    ‘What? You think I don’t have one here? You’ll see. I’ll be back,’ and like that, he was gone again. He even had television, a large plasma and complete set, nice place. I picked up the tea and took a sip, too much honey. ‘I’m back!’ He announced. ‘Pizza will be here in ten.’
    ‘Great,’ I said absent mindedly, eyeing the hopeless cup of tea. ‘Can we talk now?’
    ‘You might lose your appetite,’
    ‘Just tell me already!’
    ‘Chill,’ he said chucklingly, is he always chuckling? He sat down beside me and carried Twyla, she seems to like him which is surprising. Twyla is very picky, so picky that in all our years together, she still hates my dad and never let Leaf touch her. ‘Where do I start from?’
    ‘From the beginning,’ I said dropping the cup. ‘I already know about the war, how you summoned me to break you free but opposite me went for your brother instead. I know I was reincarnated but something is still missing.’
    ‘Yes, something is. What you and Aaron don’t know is that you were my mate the moment you were born as Princess Danika.’
    ‘How?’
    ‘As you know, I have a little light in me and that light is more compassionate, considerate and caring. Disgusting but I’m stuck with it. Aaron however, collected my coldness, the last piece of darkness that should have made me completely heartless. Since the trade took place like that, I was destined with a mate because I have the heart to love but Aaron don’t. When Danika was born, I sensed it, went to her and from there I watched her; every creature under me did.’
    ‘So just guessing here, you used that mate link to lead her to you so she could free you, right?’
    ‘After I manipulated her father into buying the island. When she freed Aaron instead, she touched the stone on his chest, linking him to me through her and thereby bonding us three in one zone. She left, grew up, got married and later died after bearing children, do you know how painful it was to watch all that take place?’ He chuckled bitterly. ‘I remained there, my own mate freed him and not me, it was really painful. I hoped that you would come back, hoped that maybe somehow, they will return you back to me and give me a second chance. Do you know how happy I was when I felt your presence on earth again? Do you? Nothing felt better than my prayers being answered.
    I waited for hundreds of years to have you back, for a second chance and I was given one. When you were born, I watched you with as much zeal as I did with your previous self, never let a hair on your head get hurt. It pained me seeing you suffer from that illness for long, I couldn’t do anything because I was still stoned. I had many watch you, keep an eye on you for my sake. Then all of a sudden, you were with him, the same person that ruined everything the first time. You are originally my mate, that is why you feel more connected to me than him. That is why seeing me makes your heart jolt and rage with lightning bolt more than you do to him. You are comfortable around me, you trust me even without knowing me…’ He dropped Twyla on the floor and shifted closer to me as he spoke. I couldn’t move, my throat had gone dry. ‘Even when you were with him, something was always missing, not just by his coldness but the emptiness inside your heart. You felt like loving him was right yet so wrong, you knew that a bond was pulling you but not from him. Am I right Bechira?’ I opened my mouth and closed em like a fish on dry land. Everything he said was true.
    I kept trying to force myself to love Aaron but something was always missing. It was like I was meant to be in love with him but not him, another him and now I get it. ‘But,’ I finally said inaudibly but his ears caught it. ‘Aaron cares about me….’
    ‘Because the bond is compelling him to and his lion won’t let him be. Left alone, Aaron will never give you the happiness you deserve and you know it. He isn’t meant to love but to remain loyal to his course….’
    ‘He will come for me….’
    ‘Because he feels that as a mate, it is his duty to protect you and duty is one thing Aaron respects. I can’t convince you about something you already know.’ If only I could disagree.
    ‘So, I’m your mate and not his?’
    ‘You already are his as you are mine but the decision is yours.’
    ‘Why will I pick someone as evil as you are? You have killed many innocent souls with your unholy armies.’
    ‘How many do you know of?’ I kept my lips pinned. ‘Don’t judge me before you even get to know me Bechira. I am evil, yes. Kill a lot and cause discord, guilty as charged. I work as a means to enslave beings, affirmative, indubitably. However, my mate is the only soft spot I have. Aaron thinks you are his weakness, he doesn’t know true weakness when he sees one.’
    ‘You tried to kill me and you killed my mother,’
    ‘She would have killed you first,’ true. ‘If I really wanted you dead, you would have been dead a long time ago.’ I don’t believe that but okay.
    ‘What debt do Leslie owe you?’
    ‘I saved her life, thrice.’
    ‘Why?’ I asked curiously.
    ‘If she had died, would you have met her?’ Okay, he does think ahead. ‘Any more questions?’
    ‘You and Aaron, who’s older?’
    ‘Me.’
    ‘Do you really love me?’
    ‘I will let you decide that,’ he looked at the long stairs leading upward. ‘Breakfast is here. Do you wanna come up with me?’
    ‘Yes,’ he stood up, he carried me before I could ask how I would get up there and bam! We were already at the top of the island. My Lord! The wind was excessive but that was the least of my amusement, wanna know what?
    We were underwater! The whole island was protected by a shield and the lower part of the mountain was a city. I could see cars, bushes, people etc. All going about their creepy normal lives.
    ‘Wow! You built an underwater city? Like Atlantis?!’
    ‘Took me almost a thousand years but I did it. Why do you think it took so long to break free? I spent more time building this with my mental abilities and having them support. The pizza guy was smiling at me, he looks familiar….
    ‘OMG! Leaf!’
    He laughed. ‘Hi Bechira,’
    ‘How come? When? How? When? What!’
    ‘Like I said, I had a lot of beings under me watch you.’ I couldn’t get over it, this is too much for me to handle.
    ‘I’ll take my leave Alpha,’ he bowed. Like that wasn’t enough shock, two large wings popped out of his back and then he disappeared.
    ‘Back to humans,’ my best friend is a fae. Now I get why he never left my side, I need my dad, I need to breathe before I pass out. What other shocking shit will I hear or see next.

    Few months later……

    Nora
    Who is Tiwa to think she can just come from nowhere and steal my ATM. Yes Alex is nothing but my ATM. I dont even love him, not even 10% of me does.

    All am after is his money which he’s always ready to spend for me.
     I was disappointed when he got married, I thought he won’t come for me again but fortunately and the fool he is, he came back for me. I was very happy when I got pregnant and just like I wanted, he made me move into his house
    The day I told him, I was gonna give him a heir. I knew what I was saying but he’s too dumb to understand. I want to bear him a son who will inherit all his wealth and then kill him.

    Thankfully his mother accepted me though I dont like the woman at all because she has lot of pride and behave like she’s the one in control of everything.

    She really made things easier for me to maltreat Tiwa though she’s still proving stubborn to leave. I’ll just poison her one day and am close to doing that. The only reason I haven’t done that is because Alex doesn’t even like her.

    Am the one responsible for the problem Tiwa is having to reach Mr Philips. I set his number and divert all her calls, she won’t be able to call or receive or give him a call at all and the money he’s sending from her. I want to make sure I send her packing or she die and that will surely happen soon.

    And Mr Philips, am glad he’s not back yet. That man doesn’t like me a bit because I had dated one of his friend before who is in late 60’s. He even told his son but Alex said it happened in my past and it can’t change his love for me.

    “Ma-ma”. I heard my baby voice calling me immediately he saw me climbing down the stairs. He was sitting on his Grandma’s lap. That woman come here almost everyday since I gave birth and even though I have been insulting, she still comes.

    I pecked Alex’s cheek as I settled beside him while my baby crawled slowly to me, he finally got to me and I carried him on my lap before pecking him. While he snoogled in my arm.

    “Your skirt is too short, Nora”. I heard Mrs Philips say.

    “There is nothing wrong in what am wearing, you dont expect me to tie wrapper and dress like an old witch”. I said frowning.
    “Am only saying the truth, it too short for you. You’re a mother already and…

    “Then come and pull it off”. I cut her off.

    “What?! Alex, did you hear that? “

    “Yes mom, there is nothing wrong with the skirt, I actually love it this way”. Alex supposed and I smiled wickedly at her.

    “Okay o, if you insist. So tell me Nora, when do you want us to come and see your parent”. Mrs Philips said and I rolled my eyes. What exactly is her problem? She really thought I want to marry Alex. God forbid.. Am not planning to be a widow after I kill him.
    “Alex is not complaining so I dont know why you taking it as your problem and carrying it on your head when you have your own but carrying it with your hand”. I said sarcastically.

    “You talking to me rudely, you know”.

    “If you dont want that then stop pokenosing in my affair, I never said am not comfortable like this. It you that should stay in your house and wait for your husband. Who knows what’s keeping him there”.

    “Dont speak to me that way, am your mother inlaw! “.

    “The last time I checked, am not married to your son. Am just his baby mama”.

    “Alex!!! Are you trying watching Nora talk to me that way? This not the first,second or third”.

    “Oh mom please, you’re taking it too far. You started it”. Alex said and burst out laughing because I couldn’t hold it back.

    “Seriously Alex! I can’t believe this, you’ve been charmed!!! “. She yelled angrily and picked her bag from the table.

    “Dont forget to lock the door behind o”. I mocked and she glared at me.

    “Alex, Nora is sending me out of your house! “.

    “You’re the one who picked your bag up and stood up and she said dont forget to lock the door. She did not say anything wrong”.
    Mrs Philips stood gobsmacked.

    Tiwalade
    I overheard how Nora was yelling and insulting Mrs Philips then I left my room and came downstairs. She was too rude. Yes Mrs Philips has treating me bad but she’s still my mother inlaw. She was about to leave when I spoke up.

    “That was very rude of you Nora, and Alex, how could you sit and watch someone talk to your mother that way and all you could do is sit and watch”.

    Everyone was shocker that I spoke that way but I dont care anymore, I’ve been pushed to the wall and it time to face them back now.

    “Attention seeker!! Dont try to impress Mrs Philips because she detests you alot”. Nora laughed.

    “She might detest me but I dont care and about what you said about impressing, you should know I dont need to impress anybody because I’ve faced alot in the house.

    The only person I can impress is Mr Philips. Me, living in this house is because of him. So get it straight into your head. Dont ever in your life, talk to her that way again. Next time, you do that. I swear i’ll make you regret it”.

    I said giving her a piece of my mind. Mrs Philips was surprised and she smiled at me for the first time. Nora couldn’t talk again while Alex just stare at me and I went back into my room.

    I heard a knock on my door.
    “Come in”.

    Mrs Philips walked in and hugged me. “Oh my Tiwa, what have I done to you… Will you ever forgive me? Am so sorry my child… Am so sorry, oh Tiwa…..

    She went on talking and talking and I just stayed in her arm unable to talk. I mean am just too shock… A whole Mrs Philips. I never imagined she could ever hug me.

    Katzy – Episode One


    By Amah’s Heart

    Back then, I made up my mind that the interview with Dreg fashion line was going to be my last. if I don’t make it to the top then i will look for some other job to do.

    I have tried different modeling agency just to get in line but It never came through.

    After my fourth times which Julie convinced me to give it one more shot and I did and as usual my name did not come out on the list. For one reason or the other I was left out again. I begin to loss interest in the modeling thing, maybe is not really my calling.
    I wish I have an important person who can recommend me to a good modeling brand and give me a push but I only got myself and my looks which doesn’t count anymore.

    After my last try with Dreg fashion line I began to look for other means to make something out of my life.

    I only got my Dad and younger brother, my Dad runs a plumbing shop with my brother and nothing much was coming from there. I needed to sit up and make something meaningful for myself.
    At that point in my life was when I got the offer to take the very job that I detest so much.

    “A professional maid” Julie, my good friend convinced me again to take up the job which was going to be something that will occupy my mind and I will get my paycheck at the end of every month.

    Related story: MY COLORLESS RAINBOW

    I got the job after lying that I had experience on it. I had no experience at all except the one I got from home.

    I clean every sufface and wash every vessel in my home. My dad likes it when the house is sparkling clean and I make sure of that.

    That was the only experience I gathered and lying to the Cole family was my only way in.

    I was good at the job and they like my way of cleaning but I hate every bit of it. My brother Jon tried everything possible to talk me out of it, I ignored him because of the pay.

    I was beginning to support my Dad and have some savings too but I struggle with the fact that I was actually a maid.

    I began to pick interest while working for the Cole until Mr Cole who was way older than my father started making sexual advances on me.

    He will deliberately touch my buttocks while passing by, winked at me when his wife is not watching and several other dirty act.

    The Cole were well to do family and I was just begining to enjoy working for them before all this started.

    I once threatened to tell his wife if he continues with such indecent act but he even got worst. He said his wife won’t believe me because she trusted him.

    He has two daughters, one is older than I am while the other is younger.

    And it was just as he said.
    I couldn’t suffer in silence anymore and when I tried to resign the woman asked to know why, I summon the courage to tell her but just as the husband said she didn’t believe me and called me a liar.

    I left the Cole without collecting my last paycheck.

    It wasn’t a good experience and that was why I decided to look for a different job but none was forthcoming.

    I stayed home depending on my Dad after spending my little savings.

    Julie was concerned about me, she told me about another maid Job, a big household looking for a “professional” housekeeper I told her I wasn’t interested.

    Nothing was going to make me go back into scrubbing somebody’s floor and getting insulted.

    Few days later I began to think about it, I was tired of doing nothing. I needed to get serious.

    Julie said this household is far richer than the Cole family and doesn’t have time for nonsense which was why alot of people will be fighting hard to get the job.
    She asked me to apply via email right away before the offer closes.

    maybe she’s right, I will give it another try. Hopefully I will be shortlisted for an interview and if possible I may even get my dream of modeling come to reality, all it takes is the right connection and this new household “the Desmonds” has it all.
