Last Updated:
2020-12-15 22:26:26I woke up only to find myself on a couch. What happened?
I sat up and took in my environment. Romeo. 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

OLA I walk down the street in content as there were no reporters here waiting to attack me with questions. I honestly could not deal with them right now.It sucks to be followed around because I'm a successful model and also the managing director of the best skincare products company but it definitely didn't suck to receive credit alerts for being beautiful, popular and all. I arrived at the event most successful business men and women were invited to and soon enough, the attention was on me. I exchanged formal greetings with those who approached me and when I saw my mom speaking with an Indian. I decided to join them. She was early today. "Hi Mom, good day sir" I greeted pecking my mom on the cheeks and strecthing my hand towards the man for an handshake. He was quite attractive. He shake my hand with a smile on his face.

OLA I stared at my tv in shock. My ex-boyfriend, Philip Folorunsho was getting married to a popular reporter of BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) I felt hurt, we broke up three months ago and now he's getting married? What the hell! I know he cheated on me severally but I didn't expect him to move on so quickly. I turned off the tv and went to the cabinet where we stored drinks. I grab a bottle of vodka and drank from it directly ignoring the burn on my throat.I felt tears streamed down my face. "I hate you Philip Folorunsho" I spat. He'd taken advantage of the love I had for him, he used me gain popularity and make more money and I hated him for that. Realizing that I couldn't keep doing this to myself when Phillip didn't give a damn about me. I remembered Sade Johnson and what she wanted me to do for her.Break her son's relationship. I quickly place the vodka where I saw it. I grab my phone which was laying on the counter and grab my purse, in search for her business c

OLA Today was Friday which means less work, more fun!"Miss Ola, congratulations on the award you and your mom received yesterday I knew you both could do it" Michael, one of my colleagues says immediately I stepped into the company. "It's our award, we all worked for it and got it but you know you guys had to cover for us and attend those meetings that's why we couldn't bring you guys along" I say and he shrugs. "Don't stress yourself honey, as long as I keep getting my bonuses I'm good" he says and I laugh. I totally get his point though. "I'll see you later" I say about to leave but he stopped me. "Wait where are you going?" He asked and I gave him a look. "My office, to work, as usual" "Did your mom not tell you?" He asked, somewhat amazed. "We're having a party tonight!" He exclaimed and I nod. "I know and that doesn't stop me from doing my work so-" "-It kinda does because I've done all of your work for you, the only thing left is your signature, your mom's and Harry D

"I know you're pretty popular around here" he said with hate before continuing "What bothers me is why you're on my property" he says going straight to the point. I pull my hands back and sighed. Oh he's not an easy one. I look at him, still at loss of words. I had no idea what to say to him that would impress him. So I did the most stupid thing a person would ever do. I ran away but not forgetting my shoes. Those cost #15,000 naira. I ran to Suzy's pizza place, got in my car and take a deep breath.I can't believe I just did that. Wait Sade didn't tell me Daniel owned that place, I thought he only went there to chill. And she didn't tell me he's rude and intimidating as well. Oh my God! I don't think I can do this anymore, I just ruined everything. Shit! I need a drink. I can't think straight right now. I drove straight home. Immediately I reached I went straight to the cabinets, where we kept drinks and grab a bottle. I didn't even look at the tag I kept on gulping it. Su

He said, a little taken aback.He cleared his throat and said, "I-i mean yeah, I need to talk to Jade” he stuttered.“Then call her” I say nonchalantly.“You know she blocked me everywhere and I can't even go to her house” He yelled, almost desperately.

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?"
