Selena Dundro didn't know whether she was properly cleaned nor cared to. In a super flash, she'd been to the bathroom and back now, found herself rubbing. "Hey take it easy sweetie" Jenny advised in her usual walkie-talkie voice. "I know, but I can't" she said as she adjusted her underpants. "If I were you, I'd have taken it my usual way. I believe 7 pm is the time guests are expected to start coming while the party would begin like.. let's say 7:30 pm or 8. Who knows?...." She shrugged. "...But maybe a celebrity party's different" Selena thought for a moment about what she said. She wasn't at all wrong because if the party was truly starting at 7 pm, Mikey would have come to pick her up before that time. She wasn't all too familiar with parties but that's what people do right? Or maybe the party was starting at that time but Mikey deliberately decided to be a guest of honour. Either way, she intended to be ready by the time he had requested. "But you're not me right?" She joki
The meal was perfect. It had been as Jason always felt back in those days when he ate good meals after spending the whole day without food.His mind wondered who had made the salad. 'Maybe it was Gina' he thought.But again, he changed his mind and went for ma'am Teresa.Ma'am Teresa had always been good at cooking. Her cookery didn't only end at American foods. She knew how to make the best of European and African dishes-this made her feel special to him.As Jason emptied his glass of wine, two maidservants,-the one who had previously sent for him to eat and another-, made away with the plates.He got up from the chair and strode out of the dining room.'Well, I've still got time. though not much' he thought as he glanced at his watch.Jason walked to the biggest and immediate living room of the Armada again. He saw Vlad and Varen, his bodyguards who stood there. They weren't sitting but just standing like statues. Jason wondered whether they ever really got tired standing all day.As
"Baby! I'm almost done" Jason said frustratingly to Angelina."You've said that for almost Twenty four times in an hour already"She put her hand to her face and hissed "Oh gosh I can't believe this is happening right now"."But it's not that late. The party starts at 7 right? we can still make it" Jason assured."That's what you always say. I don't know if you care about me. You hardly have any time for me. I'll be waiting in the sitting room" Angelina picked up her purse and walked out of the room noisily in her high-heeled shoes and slammed the door behind her. Jason sighed, put down the shoe he had in his hand and sat on the bed. ''well, it isn't my fault we're late''. He said to himself though not aloud. The Jason that had been four years ago was different from the present one. Once, he thought rich people had no problems but looking at the expensive shoes and clothes in his closet, he soon realized he couldn't make a concrete choice on which to wear. Suits were considered the
Selena was almost wordless when Mikey stopped the car a few meters away from the main entrance to the hotel. Instead of going down, she remained fixed as if pinned to her chair and gazed out the front door glass at what appeared to be security agents at the entrance.They seemed to be the search party who inspected the guests before letting them enter. Being five in sight, they wore black suits, dark sunglasses, and coiled tube earpieces. One of them had a data pad in his hand from which he seemed to ID the guests, while two others had hand-held metal detectors to scan those who had been approved by the data pad. The rest of the security agents were placed at the door and opened it as guests walked in. Nevertheless, it wasn't the security protocol that carried Selena's attention but the caliber of gusts that waited to be checked. The men and women were all dressed in clothes Selena had seen only on TV before. The hands of the men were adorned with watches that she knew were worth hun
It took Jason and Angelina just about ten minutes to drive from the building to the hotel the party was supposed to be organized, but even at that distance, Jason found himself being accompanied by a convoy, a feat he never liked. When he had protested, Angelina reassured him that it was for their safety and protection. Jason had much pride in his rags-to-riches story and was particularly grateful for the riches and power that came with his billionaire status, but the fact that he could not move around without any bodyguards always made him uncomfortable. "But son there is a way you can walk around this" He could remember the conversation he had with Mr. Bransen a few months ago. "You do. How do I do it then?" Jason had asked."please do tell me…..""Well, the answer is simple. Get a coach and train your bones so tough that your security wouldn't matter anymore""Wait, you mean I should go to the gym.? But that doesn't…….""No son, not the gym. I mean get a teacher to teach you so
Two million dollars? Did Jason hear correctly or was his mind playing tricks on him? The MC introduced him as the guest of honor, before thanking Angelina for donating two million dollars. Was it the same money he had given to her?Jason turned slowly as if a lump had suddenly grown on his neck and focused his gaze on her, hoping for any signs from her that it wasn't what he thought. But to his surprise, she didn't look his way or make any effort to explain anything to him. Her attention was glued to the MC, with a beaming smile on her. Jason turned away from the sight of Angelina before he became too enthralled in just watching her. Her smiles always had this effect on him but this time, he needed a straight mind in order to address the situation at hand. "...and that of course would be the last slot. Now ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together as we have a word from the guest of honor, sir Jason Tynara".Jason heard Boris Daren say. He didn't realize he'd spent quite much t
You're kidding right babe? Just tell me you are not being serious" Selena rolled her eyes when she read the text message from her best friend, Jenny. She rubbed her fingers together and with a vicious snarl, she texted back. "Like really babe. The party is so boring". She was about to send it but on second thought, she decided to add it. "But that doesn't mean I'll spend the whole time texting with you, so bye for now. I'll tell you everything when I get back home", then she sent it. With a lazy sigh, she put the phone back in her purse and decided to pay full attention at the party again. Ever since Mikey brought her to the party, the only thing interesting she had done was being introduced to Mikey's rich friends. Oh, yeah, and listening to some sweet talks from one of the rich guests. In the next three hours after that sweet speech, Selena had been texting witph Jenny and even when she told her she couldn't continue talking anymore, Selena had begged and promised to buy her cof
Just like any other Sunday, Selena curled herself comfortably in the blanket and was unwilling to get up. She would never get up in that early morning cold, and even if anybody bothered asking, the comfort of the bed over mucus would be her answer. But that was not all. Sundays were the only free days she had in a week. That meant she could get up at any time it pleased her. Selena rubbed her closed eyes when she felt something. Slowly, she tried to open them but ended up closing them again. Through the frame of the window, the rays of sunlight hit her so violently that she wished she had closed the curtains last night. Just as she was about to go down and close it, a knock sounded at the door. "Don't tell me you are still sleeping at this time, Sely" it was her younger sister, Bethy."Just when I thought this would be my best day" Selena mumbled. She opened the door and let Bethy in. "What?" she asked when Bethy kept on staring at her. "I hold nothing against you, except for t

"Are you still there baby?" Mikey's voice was etched with worry. "Y-Yes" "Good! are you coming?" Selena thought about it for a moment. But before she could answer, Mikey spoke again. "Oscar award-winning actress, Angelina Jolie would be there. Beyonce is coming too, Fritz Dizols would be there, Dr Mahatma and a host of other stars would also be partying" Now, Mikey's voice held no traces of cajolement. When he'd called her minutes ago, he had been sweet-talking to her till when he'd mentioned about that party. He had started calling the names of the guests not to arouse her interest in it but to boast of his connection and ability to be in such a company. Selena knew it wouldn't even matter to him if she didn't attend it, but she wasn't planning on not attending either. "Oh! I see" She said, not wanting to say a yes without being asked another time. "So are you coming?" He boringly asked once more. "Yes of course" Selena answered almost immediately though she didn't want him t
