Bianca The car suddenly came to a halt and that was when I realized that we had already arrived at the school."Bianca!" Tiffany called. She was already out of her car. With her arms spread out wide, she was waiting for my hug. I hopped towards her. Without any hint of hesitation, I hovered over her and pulled her into my embrace."You are so beautiful," she muttered into my ears, blushing. The redness on her cheeks made me smile. "Thank you," I pecked her forehead and wheeled her into the foyer with her guards right about us. The guard who took my seat earlier seemed a little abrasive but I didn't care. All through the class, I hid my confusion well and Tiffany didn't notice anything. I helped her with her arithmetics as she was a little sloppy with them. I also assisted her with all that involved mobility.Recess came and it was time to eat and play. Surprisingly, Tiffany got just a little junk food. In no time, she had finished up and she was on my neck."Let's go!" She said and
Bianca We were standing on the volleyball court and I was still thinking when Tiffany's voice broke into my thoughts."Wheel me to the service zone," she ordered.Service zone? My eyes widened. "That's far from the net, you might likely miss the…""Just do it, Bianca. Don't look down on me like others."Oh!Without further arguments, I patted her shoulders and got her the ball, praying silently that it all went her way.Swoosh! She hit the ball and I watched in awe as the ball glided in the air. It almost crossed over the net, but it didn't. It tumbled all the way down and I gave a round of applause."Wow! "Nice attempt! I guess your sessions at the gym paid off…""Stop mocking me, it still didn't cross over the net," she sulked as I retrieved the ball. "That wasn't mockery… I meant it. It was a good hit." I shouted over the noise of other pupils that was in the background.My heart bled as I watched her try and fail repeatedly. Her first attempt was the only one on course. Every ot
BiancaThe final bell rang and I rushed out of Tiffany's classroom. Since I couldn't turn down her request, I had been waiting for this hour, yes this minute. This was my last resort, I was going to flee from her, I needed to find an escape."Bianca!" Tiffany's voice boomed from behind. For fuck sakes, she caught me! I should have left earlier, I would have been able to steal away unnoticed, but I waited for her, I wanted her to sober up before stealing away. "Bianca!" She called again but I hastened away. Her voice was drowned by the noise of other pupils who were excited to leave for the day. Using the noise as a cover, I pretended not to hear and continued on course.I had just taken a few steps when Darko emerged. Oh my God! I can't even have breathing space. I can't leave here on my own! My pace reduced but I didn't stop. I continued to walk towards Darko and an idea occurred to me–Darko could be my card out of this mess."Did Lord Santiago ask you to come with me today? I mean…
BiancaThe car stopped and I hopped out hesitantly. Goosebumps covered my body and I couldn't say why. Was it because I just walked into my doom? Was it because of the enormous villa in front of me? It must be both.I looked around, finding it hard to believe that we were in the abode of a ten year old girl.The villa was painted white and it stood out amongst others. But I couldn't pay attention to its details, it was too much for me to take in at the moment, I was preoccupied with my inner torments.I hugged myself, with my arms intertwined over my bust."No! Let Bianca push me!" That was Tiffany a few distance away from me, throwing tantrums with her guards. What a nut job.A light chuckle escaped my lips and I walked up to them."I, ve got this," I said and took my place behind her. As we got into the mansion, I was oblivious to all the wonders that surrounded me, but I couldn't help but wonder about the vast number of guards roaming in the villa. Why exactly is Santiago crazy ab
BiancaMy anguish melted as I walked into Tiffany's dressing room. Is this fatherly love? Santiago must have gone mad to have constructed this type of dressing room for a ten year old girl.The room was spacious, with high ceilings and large windows that allowed natural light to filter in. The walls were glittering and the floors were made of polished marble.A magnificent dressing table sat in the centre of the room, it was adorned with a large mirror. An array of luxurious beauty products, including perfume bottles, hairbrushes, and compacts, clustered around the table.Despite Tiffany's lameness, a plush, velvet-covered chaise lounge sat in one corner of the room."Bianca, come see my wardrobe. It's stashed with clothes." Tiffany's voice broke into my ears and I looked at her.She signalled Deborah who was already standing by the wardrobe. She opened up the wardrobe and my mouth fell open in surprise."Wow!" I mouthed, covering my mouth. The wardrobe was filled with an impressive
Santiago"Down to the White Villa," I ordered my driver as my guard opened the door of my SUV. With an air of arrogance, I trotted into the car and we zoomed off.I usually felt this way anytime I wanted to visit Tiffany. It was my tradition whenever I was in a good mood to visit her and now that I knew that she was lonely, I wanted to do more.The car decelerated in front of Tiffany's villa. It eased slowly into the garage and came to a halt. Still sitting in the car, I scanned the lot through the tainted glasses. Feeling satisfied, I commanded my guard to open the door. Just then my sight caught an unusual sight, it was the black Sedan sitting in the garage. My brows grew thicker as I frowned. I had a fleet of cars and couldn't possibly identify them all. But the black sedan was the car I instructed Darko to pick for Bianca. No way! Bianca can't be here after my warnings. But then I saw the one leaning on the bonnet. It was Darko! Bianca is here!She dared to go against my warn
BiancaWhen I disobeyed Santiago's orders, I thought I knew what was coming. But now that it had all gone down, I realised that I knew nothing.My body hurt like hell and I was covered in bruises.As I dragged myself through my room, Darko's heavy sigh resonated from the door. I heard him cursed under his breath before closing the door.I flung myself into the sofa and groaned as pain shot through every nerve in my body.'If you go against him again, he will definitely kill you.' I muttered to myself, viewing Santiago's deadly glare in my head. Tears welled up in my eyes and I wept. Through the mistiness, I saw a glass of water on the cube stool before me. Beside it were two pills. Without thinking, I flicked the pills in my mouth. Whatever the pills were, I didn't care. I needed to relieve the pain cruising my body. I soon dozed off on the sofa. Thanks to sleep, it was my momentary escape from hell. It came like an eagle and shielded me in its wings. But it wasn't as smooth as I wa
BiancaIn my grip was the bottled water that Darko gave me earlier. I drained it at a go, trying to quench the hunger inside of me. Gurr! I smashed the empty bottle inside the waste bin and without glancing back at the dining hall or Darko, I walked back to the foyer.I settled into one of the seats feeling unsettled. I might have put up a bold front, but Darko's words hit deeper than I had expected. "...what about Tiffany?" His words kept ringing in my ears."Well, what about me too? No one gives a damn!" I yelled, trying to talk myself out of whatever was going on in my head. Everyone in the foyer glanced my way, but I didn't give a damn! I shifted restlessly on my seat, telling myself to relax but it wasn't working. All that kept coming to my head was Tiffany's forlorn look in the classroom when she jerked around to see if I was the one at the door. What a poor kid.After repeated attempts, I excelled. I was able to knock the thoughts out of my head and I shut my eyes to relax. B
