Please your comments mean so much to me. I'd appreciate if you do.
There was a knock at the door, but Loverina didn’t move. Since Jayden had instructed her not to go anywhere, and she was too bored, so out of that, she started going through some of his personal things like, his drawers, boxes, and even trying out his perfumes. Somehow, she was only curious to know more about the man, she was finally catching feelings for.Feelings for her captor…. That was totally insane!“Hey girl.” A voice called out as soon as the door was pushed opened.Alexis mouth dropped, and she immediately turned to face Jayden, but all he did was raise a brow.“So sorry. I didn’t mean to go through them. I was way too bored.” Loverina apologized.Still getting nothing from Jayden, Alexis kept the tray of food on the table and rushed to help Loverina pack the documents that were littered on the floor.“He doesn’t like it when people go through his stuff. Especially the ones kept in this room or his study. What is wrong with you?” Alexis whispered as she got closer enough.Bu
Alexis laid on her bed with a headset on. She was acting cool but deep down, her heart was aching. She wouldn’t tell anyone because Eric isn’t of their class. They would just advise her to move on or even make Eric’s life more miserable. Listening to music could help her feel better so.“I take a deep breath every time I’m at your door, I know you are here but I don’t see you anymore, and that’s the reason…” she was singing out the lyrics of the song played in the headset at that moment. Pausing the song, she removed the headset and dialed Eric’s number.He pushed her away and she deleted his numbers from her phone, but surprise, she remembered the digits and called, praying she made a mistake.“Hello, what is it that you want?” Eric’s voice was heard which made her heart to beat fast. She was unable to utter a word and out of annoyance, he hung up thr call.Realizing what she had done, she called again but he didn’t pick so, she decided to text him.“For what?” she read out his repl
Outside the hospital, Alexis tried a breathing exercise in order to calm down. And just as she wanted to move, she felt a hand on hers.“It’s me. Chill.” He hugged her tight to himself and kissed her forehead, “You’re perfect.” He whispered while rubbing her back gently.“Why her then?” She asked between sobbing.“I just love her.” Alexis, hearing that, broke the hug and pushed Eric.“Let’s talk later.” She said before leaving. Eric didn’t stop her, he knew when it was time to let go.And just as he wanted to go back in, he saw that familiar face. The one bringing food for Grandma Clara. It wasn’t the other man who looked rich. “Are you here to give food to an old woman.” Eric asked the moment the young dude climbed down his bike.“Yes. Do you know me?” He answered while scanning me.“Who sends you?” “Huh?” The young guy looked so confused, but Eric wasn’t interested. He needed to know what truly happened to Loverina or if she was hiding.“Who are you?” Eric asked, and the young did
“Sister, do you have a clue why this unexpected meeting all in the name of having dinner?” Doris asked as he couldn’t hold it anymore.He was with his wife earlier but, rushed down to know if his sister had a hand in what it. “No. That old fool is surely a cunny bastard. One thing he happens to be good at was, disappoint.” She responded while applying a lip gloss in front of her mirror.Doris rolled his eyes and shook his head. He was never going to understand women, not even in the nearest future. It was a dinner meeting in the same house as everyone, he didn’t understand why his sister was still trying to apply makeup. For him, it wasn’t necessary. It was a red lip gloss, and it suits her just right.“You look beautiful, and I don’t see the need to makeup. It’s not like you’re going out to catch other men’s attention. Let’s go now already. I might die soon from the anxiety.” He urged her and made his way to the door, “After you, please.” He gestured for her to go out first.“What a
After eating, Loverina went outside. She had a lot on her mind and needed sometime a lone to figure out her life. While strolling, she saw Alexis who sat on short fence, looking up at the sky like, it had answers to an exam. Loverina approached quietly. It seemed she wasn’t the only one who didn’t like it inside. Even as she got nearer, Alexis didn’t notice as she was completely absent-minded. Not until Loverina waved her hand in the air that Alexis was able to turn.“How did you find me?” Alexis asked as she thought, Loverina was looking for her. Unknown to her that, Loveirna had her worries. It wasn’t a bad idea to come out of the mansion prison.The house was only big and beautiful for nothing.“I was just passing by when I saw you.” Loveina answered, “Hope you don’t mind if I join you?” She requested, pointing at a space near Alexis.“Yes….. Sure you can. Please join me.”And with that, Loverina quickly sat on the fence too. Just very close to Alexis. And the duo remained quiet. E
“Ha ha… No… Ermm, well, yes. I wanted to but… but I then remembered, she has an online class… yes, a class.” She stuttered, while thinking of what to say. Jayden steadied his gaze at her and his eyes were icy, and piercing. Like they would kill her. His smile had vanished, and he had the devil’s warning look. No one needed to tell Loverina that she was a dead meat. She used her eyes to beg for mercy. “Huh? A meeting by this time of the night?” Loverina started laughing as Alexis asked. She wished Alexis would just stop asking questions and, rather, believe her lies. Jayden was taking note and his face wasn’t welcoming.“Yes. The thing is, she has an online meeting with her boss. She told me they have an appointment.” She lied again and this time, Alexis bought it.Loverina stammers whenever she tells a lie but, she had to organize an answer in her head before opening her mouth, to avoid issues from raising. Even if Alexis believed, Jayden knew the truth that she has no friends. He onl
Loverina on the other hand did not utter a word. She couldn’t even raise her head to look at him.“You startled us. But, what are you doing here?” They were close to Alexis’ room. It was a bit far from Jayden’s. “Want to sleep in my room too?” Alexis asked, folding her hands.“Hell no. To sleep in a room with two silly girls. Nahhh… I will pass……. I only came to wish my girlfriend a goodnight. You already stole her from me and now, I will have to hug my pillows.” Jayden joked and Alexis started laughing but, it didn’t get Loverina. She was lost in thoughts.“Awwwwnnn…. This is so romantic. What about me? I too, deserve a goodnight.” Alexis protested. “You want me to kiss you on the lips? I don’t want mum to kill me please.” He joked again and Alexis hit him on the chest.“I wonder what Loverina saw in you.” She turned to face Loverina to see someone who is probably lost in her own world.Jayden noticed too and walked up to Loverina, “Are you okay?” He asked waking her back to reality
Bethel opened her eyes a bit, to see her husband sneaking back in. He turned towards her, and she immediately pretended to be fast asleep. He waved his hand over her face and got no unusual activity. Seeing she wasn’t moving, he gently walked to the other corner, took off his clothes, and smelled it to know if his thoughts were correct.As Bethel intentionally moved her right leg, Doris swallowed hard and dropped his clothes immediately. Not minding what he initially had in mind, he crawled on the bed gently, like a thief, trying to climb down through an opened window. He lifted the bedsheet, and laid down on the bed like a sloth. Bethel, then, turned to his side with her eyes still tightly shut. Immediately, he covered himself with the bedsheet and started snoring. What a fool he was. He didn’t even know himself that much. Even if she wouldn’t suspect, but snoring exposed him already. The only thing she knew too well about her husband was that, he never snores when sleeping. She is
“Can I open the window?” Loverina asked. She wanted to feel the night breeze against her skin. “Please, wait a second. Let me turn off the air conditional and open the window.” The driver spoke while already acting towards what he had just said.His eyes were still on the road. He stretched his hand to locate the ‘a/c’ button, and Loverina watched in amazement from the back. She was impressed to see the level of experience he has in driving that he didn’t even need to look for it. He could tell the exact switch while his eyes are still fixed on the road.He opened the windows and then, did a quick turn to Loverina, “Is this okay? Is there anything else you want?”Loverina smiled back and nodded her head.Not long after that, she was looking out the window when she saw a familiar figure. Even the clothing seemed to be the same thing. Loverina was tempted to call out as deep down, she could swear it was Alexis.‘It cannot be her, right? It’s too late for Alexis to be out in the dark. A
After what took forever, Alexis let the cat out of the bag. “My parents have been calling for me to return home. Of recent, I got a call from my dad, and he sounded it like a warning. I already told them i would, once the event comes to an end. So, by Monday morning, I would be on my flight heading back. I was emailed the prebooked flight and time. And you know, i miss home as well.” Loverina who was first disappointed, accepted fate and nodded. Her eyes got teary as she began to get emotional. Alexis had been a true friend since they met. She closed her eyes, imagining the boredom and loneliness ahead. It scared her!“I will miss you dearly.” Loverina replied after she sensed Alexis wanted her to say something on it.“I will too. My sister from another mother.” Alexis tapped her on the hand and chuckled, trying to suppress the urge to cry.“Okay. So we have just two days left. Today is Saturday.” Alexis nodded.“I will miss you.” Alexis repeated and hugged Loverina.Grandma Clara he
Loverina waited at the living room. it was past ten and Jayden wasn’t back yet. She approached her grandma’s room after feeling too bored.“I overheard your voice.” Loverina remarked as she stepped in.“The servants here are too nice.” Grandma Clara praised as she beckoned on Loverina to come closer. “What is wrong my baby girl, you don’t look too good. Did something happen?” she inquired.Loverina had a lot to say. She wished it was possible to tell about all of it. But, she didn’t want to. She felt at some point, she would be able to fit in properly with her new life and forget the former life.“Boys problem? Is it about you and Eric?” Loverina lowered her gaze. She didn’t want to say anything that would lead to more lies.“It should be about Jayden, right? You are falling for your colleague. Jayden seem like a nice guy but then, think about Eric. He visited me every single day at the hospital. He would keep me company for hours and sometimes brought food. Also, you two have been to
A wave of anger filled him inside out. The urge to throw things around and yell had to be suppress as he shut his eyes and took in a deep breath. Knowing the woman in front of him and what she was capable of, scared him even more.“I cant do this anymore.” He mumbled, clutching both hands into a fist.Margaret furrowed her brows. She got a bit confused as he wasn’t specific. But she hoped he wasn’t talking about reporting her to the police. He knew too much about her.“I don’t get you!” “About us.” He demonstrated with his hand, “I cant do this anymore. Go met another dude, I’m tired. You cant completely take over my life and still hurt me like im just a toy thing.”Margaret scoffed as she couldn’t believe what was happening. She closed the gap between them, looking up at him, “I still don’t understand what…” Thomas interrupted, “I saw and have heard about your new partner. I saw you kiss him some days back at the parking lot close to…” he broke down, sniffing and trying to control h
Oscar's jaw tightened, and he clutched his hands into fists. It wasn't visible to Margaret, though. She maintained a sinister smile, and it irritated him even more. He was aware of his mistakes, but Margaret was his worst. And also causing Jayden to hate him. “Are you going to give me the money or not?” She asked, suddenly looking serious.It fluctuated from an angel's face to that of a female devil. Oscar let out a sigh. “Margaret, I didn't say you won't get it. The thing is, just last week, you wanted three million dollars.”“Yes, I know that. I've exhausted that already. Don't make me wait.” Her tone changed, and she stressed her last sentence.It sounded more like she was getting pissed off, which Oscar didn't want.“Fine. How much do you need?” The question slipped out, causing him to regret almost immediately. His question resonated like an open cheque.Margaret grinned and leaned closer to him. She whispered, “Ten million.” “Huh!?” He exclaimed. Maybe he heard wrong. Not lik
As Jayden entered Oscar’s office at the company, he met an old man glaring at him furiously. Jayden got closer to the desk and Oscar right then, threw first a newspaper he held in his left hand, then the second one came after.“What is this I'm seeing?” Oscar shouted on top of his normal voice, causing him to cough a bit, clearing his throat. He must have forgotten he wasn’t young anymore.Feeling for the old man, his secretary, in a cheerful manner, tried to calm him down. “Sir, er hm, you know, you need to take things easy. Shouting isn't good for…” Albert was yet to finish his sentence when Oscar interrupted, about losing his temper.Oscar’s face was as red as tomatoes juice.“Get lost now! He is my son and I can shout at him in whichever tone I want!” “I… I… I’m sorry.” He stuttered his words, hurrying to the door, as well as turning to beg at almost every step taken. Irritating Oscars the more.“Get the fuvk out of my office!” Oscar finally snapped.It felt like he was diverting
“I am Vivian the housekeeper.” The middle-aged woman who looked like she was the senior staff said with a bright smile, “And we are here to serve.” Now, she mentioned, pointing at others.Their clothing was of two colors, black and white. Well ironed. They did put in so much to put up an impression.It was a house, not hotel, they didn't need to suffocate themselves in sure a way. But then, it was their job anyway. Loverina knew if it were her, she would do more than them. First impression matters, right? Loverina wasn't too comfortable. Guess Jayden had become used to having so many servants around.The staff offered to help tour around the house. Though, those for the kitchen and outside left already. And grandma Clara kept arguing that she was strong enough to roll the wheelchair herself. She didn't want to miss anything. But Loverina insisted on pushing it herself. Meanwhile, grandma Clara couldn't bring herself to believe that the house she was exploring belongs to them.It was
Eric saw how she snubbed him and tears rolled down his eyes as he gave himself to the men who were dragging him. Not once did she turn to him. She made him look like a crazy person. It was at that moment he noticed the mockery stares and phones being pointed in his direction. He lowered his face as he felt ashamed. The beating he got from trying to get Loverina was nothing compared to the ache in his heart. He didn’t even know what was taking over him, the feeling of being rejected publicly or that of rage. Before his very eyes, she allowed Jayden to put his hand on her waist, just near her ass cheeks. It was a message from Jayden, and he understood the meaning.They threw him out of the hospital. Passersby gave him a weird look. Someone being kicked out of a hotel would be considered a psychopath. And the only scene he wouldn’t get over was seeing how Loverina smiled and walked away like she didn’t know him.“So because I am not rich? So this is what it is about?” He asked himself in
Eric from afar spotted four men, dressed in black suits, standing close to the entrance of Grandma Clara' ward.Two were standing about three steps away from the entrance. Then the other two stood just in front of the door.Still determined to get his answers from Loverina anyhow, he approached, making an attempt to pass through when one of the bodyguards stopped him by stretching out his hand in midair.“I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to pass except for hospital staffs,” the man replied in a scary tone.Immediately, Eric decided to play along. What the man said gave him an idea. He smiled back at the man, sounding more confident.“But I am a doctor here,” He spoke causally.The bodyguard scanned him from head to toe. The shoe even looked wore out. Under his armpits, his polo was dammed with sweat. He looked like a homeless young man.Being professional, the man suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. He knew exactly what the young man was trying to do.Eric thought he caught the
