2024-10-29 19:42:56I finally gathered some balls and went back home to have a decent conversation with mom after I'd park my things, of course.
And yes I made a decision to go with Lola to Jamaica. There's no way I would give all of this up when I'm so close.
"Ola" Mom started.
"Mother" I say dully.
"I have a confession" she took a deep breath then looked me unsurely. I nod for her to continue and what i heard next shocked me.
"I've been with Rahul for over two years now"
He was the man I met talking to mom on the day we were to receive our award.

ROMEO"Anna hasn't been picking any of my calls as of recent, it's unusual of her" I say to Theo, my best friend who keeps trying to convince me that Rose and Ola, the slutty celebrity were one person.I would never believe that. Never.Anna was a gold, I liked her while Ola was a spoiled brat. She even ruined a painting so dear to my heart and I disliked her for it."Bro Ola Smith got involved in a home accident and she got stabbed in the process, the chances of her surviving are very low" he said and I glared at him."Why are you telling me that?""Since when did you become so heartless?

I defended Alexa in the movie."Two wrongs don't make a right!"

Today I would be meeting up with Romeo and to be honest, I was pretty excited about it.I got to the park, in my blonde wig of course and looked around for a cute guy with glasses.I felt a tap on my shoulder and I slightly jumped. I looked to see who it was, lo and behold! Romeo"Hey! You scared me" I say regaining my composure when I saw that it was just him."I'm sorry my lady" he says exaggeratedly.I open my arms wide and he gave me a nice hug. I got a whiff of his manly but sweet cologne on his shirt.After what felt like minutes I pulled away from the hug."You look a bit lean than the last time I saw you, you probably should take it easy with the hustling and stuff" Romeo gently says his hands on my back."I would if i get a job" I say as we take a stroll around the park."I already told you Anna,

I was at Romeo's.Suddenly my thoughts brought me to what recently happened, i killed Lola and Theo brought me here and I passed out. I had to get out of here but first of all, my bladder was killing me and my throat was dry.Getting up from the couch, I checked the time on the wall and froze. 3am!How did I sleep that long?Impatiently, I slipped off the bed and sighed. What to do?What to do?Do I take a run for it or ask politely for a place to pee and then leave? But where do I go? I had no one.A little desperate to ease myself, I tip toed to one of the rooms in the passage. I opened the door slowly and saw that the room was empty, I closed it slowly and checked the room next to it. It was nicely made and there was a bed there.It was obvious someone slee

LOLAOut of annoyance, I went to Claudia, Ola's mother and told her everything Ola was making me go through.I was angry with Ola, how dare she steal Daniel away from me and call him Danny.I should've listened to Dad and mom, Ola was bad news. She's a terrible person who was only using me to get to Daniel.Even her own mother thinks she's selfish.Ola was way too arrogant. She disrespects her mom and leave her alone despite everything her mom's done for her.Suddenly the door opened revealing an angry Daniel."Hey babes, tough time at work?" I asked walking seductively to him."Lola what did you say to Ola's mother?" He asked in a serious tone and I knew there was no use lying.

I thought you were done being a pussy" She said with a straight face."You don't care about me, mother. You never did, you've always been trying to kill me but never succeeded. Do you how much damage you cost me this time?" I asked confidently. I was done being her pushover daughter."Because of you mom, I can't be a mother. Ever""At least you didn't die Ola, I'm sorry for stabbing you but I'm glad you can't mother a child. I did you a favour. Look at your useless father, he fucked me and left me when he found another woman. The truth is men are unrelia

I dyed my hair blonde and decided to change my name.I was thinking about moving to another state to start a new life but I knew nobody there.I didn't know much people here but at least, Danny had been here for me.Lola and i barely talk these days, I felt bad even though I didn't like to admit it but I talked sense into my head.Friendship barely last. Look at Jade and I, despite everything, our friendship shattered and we became strangers.Stephanie and Esther were good to me but they had busy jobs so we only chat online, most of the time.Danny was the one who actually took time to check on me. I think this made Lola jealous and she completely cut me off.

Thanks for helping I really appreciate it" I say quietly before asking "What time is it?""11pm" he shrugged."I'm good now, you can leave" I said, not really feeling comfortable with this guy despite the fact that he helped me."You need help Ola Smith, you're screwed up in here" he says pointing to his head, as if making a point.That only made me angry. This is exactly why I don't trust him."Who's paying you to do this?" I asked and he looked at me, annoyed."You don't have to be like that to me Ola,
