WRITER'S POV“Gail, call Tracey. Tell her to get her ass down here right now. We don't have all the time in the world. We should get started already.” Elsie told Gail. “Why? I think she should already be on her way. What's the use of calling her…”“Just call her bitch! I really have to post this video on my page now. My fans are waiting!”“Okay fine! You always yell at me!” Gail frowned and then went on to call Tracey. “Get your ass down here this instant because Elsie has to shoot this video and must post it for her fans right now!” Gail rattled off into the phone and ended the call afterwards. “You are really crazy.” Elsie shook her head.“You taught me.”“Gail, now that I think of it, don't you think we were a little too harsh to Veronica? I feel like we were bad friends to her and discarded her for one mistake.”“Tracey will kill you if you speak of her in her presence. Be careful now girl.”“I mean I am only voicing my opinion. I feel like we were too mean to her. We should h
WRITER'S POVWhile they waited for Lawrence to arrive, Mrs Williams phone started to ring. “What!” The next second she hung up the call and got into the Internet. “My goodness…” she plopped to the seat. Veronica rushed over to her side. “Mother…ma'am, is everything alright? Are you okay?”“How can I be okay? How can I be alright? Where is Lawrence!” Mrs Williams growled. “Take, have a look.”Veronica collected her phone and the news flashed before her eyes. She gasped.It's over. It's really over. Shit… this is all messed up.She looked at Bianca who had quickly gotten onto the Internet. With the smirk on her face, Veronica could tell she had seen the news. “What am I going to do?” Mrs Williams stood, panicking. She already knew what his husband's brothers would be planning. Her phone rang nonstop. When it wasn't ringing, it was beeping indicating the entrance of messages. “Whoever did this…I have you to thank.” Bianca smirked. The news about her and Lawrence was all over t
VERONICA'S POVAfter Chairman Williams and his wife left, I slumped into the seat. I couldn't breathe. In the last minutes, I couldn't breathe. I had always imagined this day. I did but I never imagined my heart feeling this wrenched. I stared at Lawrence. He was up on his feet looking at the window almost restlessly. What was going on in his head?I wondered why he never told me he found out the child wasn't his. Was he ever going to tell me if this didn't happen?Perhaps he never would have. Perhaps he had gotten comfortable with his ex-girlfriend while I was away. I felt my throat dry and ended up swallowing hard, burning my throat in the process. “Sir, the reporters are headed here. They have gotten a wind of your residence,”Jessie announced. Lawrence let out a frustrated sigh. “We have to leave now. The reporters will soon flood here,” he told me. “I will pick a few of my things,” I said as I stood up and went into my room. On my way out I heard Jessie telling him the rep
LAWRENCE'S POVI didn't know it was going to hurt that much… hearing Veronica agree with father's suggestion of us breaking up. Had she felt nothing for me this whole time? Does she not see how crazy she has made me? She had changed me and now she wanted things to end between us. The torture was too much. My heart twisted painfully. I watched her until she got into her room. I was confused, scared and worried. I had failed my parents and wanted to make things right again in whatever way. But losing Veronica? That was never part of my plans.I couldn't lose her now just when my innocence has been proved that I never got Bianca pregnant. I wanted her. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to tell her how much I missed her while she was away and how much I wanted the truth to be out sop I will be with her. “Charley… that bastard…”I took out my phone and called Jessie. “Invite a reporter over to the house.”I told him then I got into my car and drove off. “Jeez man! You look a mess!”Ca
WRITER'S POV“Lawrence… you are here. “ Bianca gasped. Carefully, she lowered her sleeping child into the cradle, ran to Lawrence and embraced him. “I knew you would come. No matter how mad you must have been about what I did, I knew you loved me and still…”Lawrence jerked off her body. The fact that she was still disillusioned irritated him. She reached forward and grabbed his hands. Tears clouded her eyes. “You know, everything I did was because I loved you. I couldn't bear to live without you. I regretted hurting you and I wanted to make amends.”He sneered. “Love me? What a load of crap.” Then snatched his hands away. “I swear it. I really loved you…no, I really love you even this moment, Lawrence.”“Unfortunately I am in love with another person now. Save your love.”“That bitch?” “Watch your mouth now. I ain't here to chit chat with you,” he warned sternly. She stepped back, disappointed. “Why have you come then? To mock me? After filing a lawsuit against me? I know you
WRITER'S POV“Should I take you back to the house or to the office, sir?”“No, we just got started. I should see my Uncles. Find out where they are right now.”“Sir?” Jessie blurted in shock. “Hurry up Jessie. We don't have time.”“Yes sir.” Jessie made a call to both Noah and Jack's secretaries and they confirmed the two weren't in office.When he called their homes, it turned out they weren't home either. “They are not home either,” Jessie reported. Lawrence's eyes crinkled into a pleased glint. “This is good,” he breathed, “I think I have an idea where they might be,” he smirked and got into the car. Minutes later, they stopped in front of a bar. “Chad exotic.” Jessie mumbled out loud. He frowned and looked at his boss. Surely he had made a mistake. Chad Exotic, a known average bar that could be likened to be a dangerous place for anyone in the category of weak to be in. Drug use, gambling, illegal business exchanges and illegal partnership happened to be the major activi
WRITER'S POV“Hello, Uncles.”Jack Williams and Noah Williams turned. “I must be seeing wrong. Isn't this our dear nephew, Noah?” Jack Williams and Noah Williams exchanged astonished looks which quickly morphed into an unpleasant one. “What brings our dearest nephew to a place like this?”“Beats me. His name and pictures are all over the media. He is at a risk of losing his position in the group but he chose to come here instead,” Jack sneered. He looked up at Lawrence. “Are you sure you are at the right place?” Lawrence chuckled. He drew out a seat from an empty table which he pulled to his uncles’ table and sat down. “Well, it hasn't been easy for me these past days, no thanks to someone,” he stated calmly as he poured himself a drink.Both Noah and Jack Williams exchanged another look and busted into laughter.“But, don't you think you are being rude right now? There are empty tables. What makes you think you can sit at the same table with us? Your mother truly didn't teach you
WRITER'S POV“There you are…” He breathed in relief.She was seated in a seat and writing inside a notepad, her suitcase beside her. Was she parking or unparking?She looked up when she saw him. “You are back.”He stepped inside, eyes glued to her. He had a lot to say to her but seeing her had his words sinking right back into his stomach. “Uhm, come, there's something I need us to do,” he finally said. She got up. “What is it?” “Outside.”With the flowers tucked behind him, he stepped aside and motioned for her to step out first. Reluctantly, she started out of her room wondering what it was he wanted to show her. “Come in now.”Lawyer Steve entered. “Do you remember him?”Veronica tried to think. Lawyer Steve’s face struck a faintly familiar face to her. But she couldn't fully grasp where she had met him. But it soon began to click. “Wait… that lawyer…”Lawyer Steve grinned pleased that she finally remembered him. “But what is he doing here?” She asked. “Well, I am here
