Eric couldn't bear the fact that his girlfriend was missing without any trace for days. The most surprising thing of all was how Grandma Clara kept receiving treatment without Loverina paying a penny. He hated himself so much for not catching up with that man, he bumped into at the hospital.“Nurse Tracy said he came in requesting for Grandma Clara. How come he knows about her? Or did Loverina told him? Did she intentionally leave?” He couldn't stop wondering.At night, it was impossible for him to sleep. Heaven knows how much he loved Loverina and her sudden disappearance, scared hell to him. Even his mother got to notice his mood swings and was worried about her son's health. “Still missing?” Ruth asked and Eric nodded. Ruth knew how much the two loved each other and when Eric told her she accepted to be his girlfriend, she was happy for them. For Ruth, Loverina was the best girl for her son. She was beautiful, smart, respectful, and calm. With her disappearance, Eric wasn't the o
Loverina watched Jayden sleep, and she couldn't believe a devil like him would possibly close his eyes, to talk more of sleeping. She was so angry and wanted to just hit him with something. She just sat there staring at his calm body on the bed, with his chest going up and down as he kept breathing, and suddenly, her eyes dropped between his legs and naughty thoughts occupied her mind. Furthermore, Loverina looked away and hated the fact that, she always remembered how, he force himself on her. To her, he was a beast with human skin disguised.“This is my chance to escape!” Loverina mumbled in a lower tone and peeped again at Jayden to ensure if he had really fallen asleep. And then, he's snoring was heard, and she smiled. “Run, escape! Run now! Escape from that monster!” Her mind screamed out loud as she thought it to be her opportunity.Loverina was excited and stood up gently from the bed. She was so careful and didn't anything to sell her away. While tip toing to the door, she al
Jayden wasn't asleep yet, he kept replaying the whole scene and Loverina's sobbing loudly heard. She thought he was asleep when she tried to escape. He intentionally started to snore to trick her and even when she approached the door and turned back, his eyes were fixed on her. She wore a baggy trouser and a polo, her hair wasn't packed as it fell on her shoulders. She looked like a sick patient trying to escape from a psychiatric hospital. “She's so stupid!” He thought and arranged his blanket,, probably. He was really going to leave her tied up so, she would learn her lessons. She doesn't have the money to pay what she owed him so, she had to pay in kind.While in Margret's room, she was groaning loudly as her face was boiling. Though, he called her to tell the good news about his resignation but, she regretted not being there at the company to know exactly what Jayden came for.She picked up her phone and called Director Dave to hear what he has to say, “Hello!”“Margret, what hap
Jayden dressed up and left. Not long after he shut the door closed, Loverina came out of the bathroom to see his phone on the bed.“He must have forgotten it.” Loverina mumbled as her heart jumped for joy. She immediately hurried to it and luckily, the phone had no pin or code. She dialed Eric's number, but he wasn't picking up. He was her only hope. She needed to check on her grandmother and find a way to escape. And while trying to call the line again, Andrew opened the door and walked in.“What are you doing here?” Loverina asked, as she was yet to dress properly. And then, she remembered, the phone.“Master Jayden forgot his phone here and asked me to get it. Do you see it too?” Andrew asked as he walked closer to the bed, while scanning Loverina.“Ermm… He forgot his phone?” Loverina asked, and as Andrew searched the chairs for it, Loverina sluggishly deleted Eric's digit and pushed the phone aside, so Andrew wouldn't know she had been with it.“Yeah!” Andrew replied dryly and ca
Loverina was just in the quiet room, all to herself. No one to talk to and not even a phone to keep herself busy. The television was just there but she had no zeal to watch it. She was rather still too emotional and wouldn't think straight. Only if she had answers to the questions in her head. Only if she knew exactly what was really going on. The room was way too quiet. Anyone would bet that there was no one inside. In as much as she wanted to escape, the suffering and punishment of the previous night was somehow still fresh in her memory.“What will be my next punishment?” She asked herself and folded her legs together, burying her on her laps with her hands supporting her head from relaxing on the lap.Loverina gave out a heavy breathe before she heard a knock on the door. It was too early for Jayden to return or did he not leave at all? Loverina kept her eyes fixed at the door as it was opened and from the sound of the heels, Loverina knew it was a lady.“May i?” The lady asked as
Alexis was feeling so bored in the house and decided to go out. Jayden barely come home, and she was the only little one in the house. Due to boredom, she had all her clothes arranged and even the one for the upcoming party was set out separately. Jayden got her a pair of earrings, so there was no need in getting another.“Aunt, I want to go out for a while and I promise to be back before the sun goes down.” Alexis begged Amanda. At first, Amanda was hesitant but, she gave her permission when she noticed Alexis wasn't going to give up anything soon, “Please, please, please.” She gave Amanda a pussycat look.“Okay, fine. You can.” Alexis jumped with excitement and hurried out of the house as she crossed her fancy purse before a car parked in front of her.“Young Miss, your aunt ordered me to take you to anywhere you want to visit.” The driver said, and Alexis smiled. Her aunt was far too protective and how was she going to enjoy everything if she drove pass them. She just wanted to wal
Eric and Alexis entered a coffee shop. It was just by the roadside and chairs were arranged inside. It was a great spot to have a gist and get to know each other. Since Alexis visited, she has not gotten a friend yet and the city was a bit boring to her. Jayden was so busy and barely visited home because of his Margret. She, too, hated Margret and kept wondering why her uncle fell for someone like her.They sat opposite each other since the chairs were only two available. Alexis looked closely at Eric and noticed his wrinkled face. He wasn't happy, and she wondered if, maybe, she disturbed the young man.“Are you upset with me? You know, since I brought you here. I know, I shouldn't have. I'm sorry.” Alexis said, and Eric looked up at her.He was sure, his attitude was scaring the pretty girl. He gave her a wry smile and had to fit his mess.“Oh no, Miss, do not mind my facial expression. I am not just happy. And yeah, thanks for bringing me here.”“Are you sure about that?” Alexis as
John formed a cheerful expression and turned to his staffs. And they nodded without a spoken word. Loverina just looked at them weirdly as they began to bring out the items they came in with.“Please do have a sit and let us treat you well.” John held Loverina's hand and walked her to the sofa.“John, the nails first?” One of his staffs asked.“Yes.” John replied excitedly.While Eric and Alexis had finished their coffees, and were on the street again. Alexis was trying to put words in Eric's mouth as she kept asking after one thing or the other. Though Eric was having a bad day, he still tried to keep the young lady company. And when they got to Eric's street, he excused himself to leave, but Alexis insisted on coming along.“Hey, I don't mind. I'm enjoying your company.” Alexis said and Eric swore something under his breath, but wasn't loud enough to be heard by anyone.“Have you been to this part before? Your pretty clothes might get stained.” He warned as he prayed she needs to hi
As Jayden reached, he quickly pushed the door open to see Alexis trying to take a glass cup from Loverina. He stepped closer to get a better look at Loverina.Her face was flushed, with a pinkish hue around her nose and cheeks. She was sitting on the floor, her hair messy and her mascara smudged, nearly ruining her face. It was obvious she has been crying.“What is the meaning of this?” he asked. Loverina turned to meet his gaze.“You found me too,” Loverina chuckled, covering her face as a blush spread over her cheeks.Ignoring her giggles, Jayden picked her up and gently laid her on the bed.“You look double,” Loverina mumbled playfully. Using her fingers to point the two places she could see him at.“That’s because you drank too much alcohol,” Alexis said, stepping in to help Jayden put Loverina to bed.“If you care so much, then am I not supposed to be enough for you?” she slurred, her words sloppily woven together.Jayden and Alexis exchanged confused glances.“What are you sayin
Jayden broke the kiss with Bianca, as it suddenly felt weird. It wasn’t like him. He doesn’t have any woman, yet, it seemed like he was cheating or guilty of something. Bianca first raised her brows, wondering if she had done something he didn’t like. Not giving a response, she continued, and Jayden couldn’t take it anymore.“Stop!” He said, and pushed her away. Not knowing whether he did that out of anger or something else. It just felt odd. Unacceptable for some reason.“What’s wrong?” She asked, coming closer to touch him with concern written all over her face.Jayden shook his head. He was certain he wasn’t feeling guilty because of how he locked her father up. He honestly gave no two fucks about it. Bianca has always been his slaying sex mate. But why, then, did he feel strange?“It’s nothing. It should be a slight headache because of the noise and stress.” He lied and turned to leave, but was stopped after taking four steps forward.“Is this because you don’t fancy me anymore?
Time was going so fast and soon, Oscar was called out to address the guests. His personal assistant and bodyguards wanted to help him but, he signaled them to give him space.“Good evening everybody. It is of a great privilege to have each and every one of you here to celebrate the final celebration of the Tribeca Film Festival with us. I'm sure most of you tagged along with your friends, and I hope you are enjoying it so far. Honestly, today won't have been this fun if not for you. Tonight is a reminder of how fortunate we are to be a part of this vibrate community. I am certain we are fans of movies. Well, I pity those who aren’t. You sure are missing a lot.” He joked with a funny expression, which got the audience to laugh.He continued, “despite that, we are grateful to have you here in our midst and hear us brag about our favorite movies and characters.” And people laughed even more, “Movies have always been more than just entertainment. And I'm honored to share today with you.”
Loverina rested her eyes on the mirror above the sink. She took a good look at herself. Her real face was nearly visible again. Letting out a deep breath, she started to notice all the changes. From her body to the clothing she had on. Before, she couldn’t afford to eat twice a day and had skinny body and bony cheeks. How time did fly in a very short period. Her world changed overnight.She turned on the tap to wash her hands when the door was pushed opened and she was forced to look at the intruder.“Seems like you love it in here.” Jayden said dryly. “You didn’t pee?” He questioned and Loverina choked to her saliva. Was he interrogating her? She found his gaze and, he was checking out the toilet, it caused her to cough even more, “If you used it…” Loverina interrupted.“I didn’t.” She said honestly.Jayden was calm. He said nothing and just walked pass her, to the sink. Loverina didn’t leave immediately, she stayed back for a while, wondering why he didn’t say anything.“My parents
Jayden put his hand on her back, pulling her closer, making sure there was no space between them. He deepened the kiss so hungrily.Loverina suddenly came to her senses. She wanted to escape and tried to break the kiss when Jayden stopped and raised a brow at her.“What is the problem and why did you stop?” Jayden asked.“Someone might come in.” She answered, looking at anything but not meeting his eyes. She couldn’t tell if she was scared or just feeling weird about the whole thing. Truly, the other couple they caught might just be in the same situation. Craving one another. Grabbing her hands and closing the space again, “Who cares? After all, I am doing naughty things with my woman. If they can catch me kissing some girl, why then should I hide when with my woman? Did you not see those in the other room?” He asked with a serious tone. Loverina was blushing until he mentioned how about the other women he did the same things with. It made her remember the kind of things he does with
“Loverina!” He called her by her name and at that moment, her soul left her body. She had thought he wouldn’t be able to recognize her. “Are you not going to say anything? And why do you look different? Where have you been? Like, how did…” he didn’t finish his question when Loverina turned back and started to run away without stopping once and the worse was, she wore heels.Eric immediately followed. She missed him too, but can’t stop. She can’t even glance at him or say anything. They have met at the wrong time and place. If Jayden was to find out about it. He might even kill Eric. It scared her so much. Eric, on the other hand, wasn’t giving up. He kept chasing her, and their running was beginning to gain attention. Loverina rushed to where a lot of people were gathered and got lost in the crowd. Seeing Eric was finding it difficult to spot her, she immediately ran up the stairs.Opening a room in front of her, her lower jaw dropped, and she turned her back. “I am sorry. I swear. I d
Loverina was still inside the car when she spotted Jayden at the door entrance. She noticed different breeds and body-shaped girls drooling over him. Trying to touch him or take pictures with him. With a disgusting stare, she rolled her eyes, seeing how he was even smiling back at them. Not a full smile but, he did it to look more handsome.‘Rubbish!’ she screamed in her thought. Then scoffed and looked away. She certainly did remind herself not to think that she was jealous. While getting out of the car, something happened. As Jayden was climbing down the front staircase, well, not more than five stairs, a girl next to him slipped and almost fell so, being the lady’s men, he caught her. Loverina folded her hand into a fist. The urge to slap the girl was growing, and she didn’t even realize how long she has been standing at a spot, which made it impossible to shut the door. She was just there, glaring at the stupid scene she was forced to watch. Worst was when the lady turned in her
Alexis opened the door to come in to see Carlos their butler, assisting her aunt as they climb down the stairs. Her aunt had a hand on her head and was walking gently. Alexis fastening her steps, she approached them with a concern look.“Aunt, are you alright? What happened?” She asked looking at Carlos and then back at her aunt.With a smile on her face, she assured, “It is nothing. I only felt a bit dizzy. He was behind me and decided to help. It’s really nothing to worry about.” Taking a sit on a sofa, “Thank you.” She said to Carlos and he nodded.“Have you taken your medicines yet?” Alexis asked, sitting next to her aunt.“Yeah. I did, not quite long. I guess that’s the reason I felt dizzy while climbing down the stairs. Normal, I needed to have enough rest after taking it but, if I do that, who will make sure everything is well packed. We need not to waste much time since, we have to make it seem the other place is where we resided. Any mistake will cause crisis on the internet.
A slap to the face made Bethel open her eyes and twitched her face because of the pain caused by the whack. Since the previous night, she has been getting hit, and the pains were unbearable. She looked up to see her husband with a nasty grin on his face, and she furrowed her brows.Who is this man she married?A marriage of almost six years felt like a hundred years in hell already. She wanted to turn her face the other way but, his voice stopped her.“How do you love your new home?” He asked with so much pride. Though it was a room. A minimal one at that. It was a bit dark because the windows were shut, also there were parts of broken objects in it. Which means it was a storage room and definitely not in the mansion. She kept her ears hoping to hear noises from cars and people talking, but then, nothing.“What is the meaning of this and where are we? What are your plans?” Bethel asked while struggling as if to free herself. The ropes were tied together with the chair she sat on so,
