ARIANA’s POV… I couldn’t believe this, he’d fooled me. He’d made me believe that he was hurt, he’d fallen down the stairs and if fallen for it. How could I have been so foolish?“Oh you’re here, didn’t think you’d be back so soon” he said with a smile. “Give me a minute, I’ll be done with this call” he said as he walked to the window and I staggered back in shock.He had betrayed me, he’d lied to me and here he was, acting like nothing had happened, acting like I stayed with him and acting like I was some maid that he could keep on hold for a long time.Angry at the fact that he’d fooled me and frustrated by the fact that I didn’t get to see my parents and explain to them, I walked to him and yanked the phone at him before throwing it to the floor in anger. “What do you even think of yourself?” I yelled at him as I stared at him in anger.He stared at me, “don’t ever try that again” he told me before bending to pick his phone. “Luckily, my phone is shatter proof “ he told me coldly
RAYMOND’s POV…. I hissed know frustration as I stared at the screen of the laptop, I couldn’t agree to any of these terms as none of them seemed to favor me. These were companies that would have never even being considered by me for a partnership in years to come but now, I had to settle for them as I had no other choice and had to keep my company back in the charts.How ruthless the world was!“Sir, here, these are the files that were sent by sharer enterprises. They would like to sell their shares in the company and buy new ones” my assistant told me and I clenched my fists, was someone trying to mock me? Was that person trying to rub it in my face that I was going bankrupt because if they were, I was no longer finding it funny!“Take it away, there are no shares to be sold or bought” I yelled at my assistant.“But sir, there are. Evan sir has put a certain percentage of his shares up for sale and not to the board of directors alone but to the public “ she told me and I clenche
ARIANA’s POV….While I stood there in shock that she’d found at that I was at Raymond’s in those two days, she went to my mother with tears in her eyes and I knew she was about to play the victim game but what could I do or say? My intention coming here was only to tell my parents of the deal myself and kira had made but what could I tell them now that Kira had told them I was at Raymond’s house the entire time?I rushed to my mother and pulled Kira who was hugging her away. “Get away from mum. Don’t you feel ashamed doing these things Kira?” I asked her and she fell to the ground in tears.“And what should I be ashamed of Ariana?” She asked me and I turned to my mother, she was beginning to fall for it again and I had to stop her. “Of course I would be ashamed Ariana “ she said as she got up and put her hand on my shoulders. “What did you ever want that I didn’t give to you? You’re my younger sister and I have loved you and I could do anything for you. I could even get you any man of
ARIANA’s POV… As mum and dad stood at the door of the room Kira was in with the doctor, I sat in the living room in tears. I couldn’t just seem to get my mind off what mum had said earlier. Did she really wish I was never born? Did she really wish I’d died at birth? I used the back of my palm to wipe my tears as I saw the amount of concern that they were showing for Kira even though she was only feigning it. I knew nothing had happened to Kira especially with the way she’d just passed out.Mum and dad thought she had passed out because it had become too much to handle but I knew that wasn’t the case, nothing of that sort had happened because there wasn’t anything going on. Kira for some reason just wanted to tarnish my image in front of my parents and I would soon find out her reasons for wanting to do this. I wiped my tears as I shook my head, my mum would never want me dead. She was just upset, she was just worried about her daughter even though the daughter who was the reaso
“Mum! Dad! Please don’t do this to me, I swear I didn’t do anything wrong!” I yelled as I banged hard on the door in tears.“Kira!” I yelled “you know the truth, just tell them the truth now and end all of this” I screamed as tears streamed down my cheeks even more. I could only imagine the joy kira would be feeling at the moment as I I had been thrown out of the house.With tears in my eyes, I took my suitcase with me as I walked out of the gate of the house. I looked into the house one more time as I put my hand on the gate with tears in my eyes. Was I really leaving this house? Not even for a holiday but because I’d been thrown out. What happened to the saying that good always won over evil? I was only helping my sister get she had done this to me and for what? I still didn’t know the reason she did this to me.I wiped my tears with the back of my palm as I stared at the house one more time. Where was I supposed to go? I couldn’t imagine myself going back to Raymond’s house bec
I swallowed hard as I turned to face my mum, there was no way I was going to tell her Ariana was in danger because I knew her, she could forget about everything I claimed Ariana had done to me and open the door to Ariana.“It’s nothing “ I told her with a smile on my face and she stared at me. From the way she stared at me, I could tell she still had suspicions.“I don’t think it’s nothing Kira. I heard someone scream and it felt like it was Ariana “ she told me and I rolled my eyes, I thought this woman was only after money so why was she bothering so much about hearing someone scream.“You’re just missing Ariana mum. You could call her back and forget about my health and then….” I was playing mind games with her and I knew she would fall for jt, she was such a fool.“I don’t want to hear her name. I just came down to get some water, I’ll go get it now” she told me as she went into the kitchen and took a jug of water before going back to her room.I heaved a sigh of relief immediatel
ARIANA’s POV…I slowly opened my eyes as I recalled running to my house to seek for help but then getting a door slammed in my face by own sister. I made strange sounds as I rolled on the bed, my head hurting.It was only until I’d recalled the massive lights that I had seen coming and the threading that had come with a huge vehicle that I jumped out of in shock, holding on to my chest and then my stomach which apparently was theeaddd on as I held on to my head.I looked around, where was I? Where was this place and why didn’t it look familiar to me? I tried getting up but the pain I was feeling in my stomach was way too much for me to bear and I laid back down and I tried using my eyes to scan my environment.I held on to my head, trying to recall if anyone had seen me after I’d passed out and decided to help. I would have loved to assume that Kira had a change of heart and then decided to come look for her little sister but I wouldn’t dare believe that, the Kira she had become was n
I sighed as I got off the bed, I was very tired but since I’d now recovered and Selena had made sure to take very good care of me, I had to take care of her house now, it was the least I could do to say thank you to her for not requesting I paid any money as I stayed in her house or for not urging me to go get a job.I walked to the cupboard after having dressed my bed and took out a white towel before walking into the bathroom. As I showered, my thoughts slowly drifted to Raymond. If I had to be honest, I had been thinking about him since I came here.There was never a day that passed without him crossing my mind and most times, I’d have to slap myself to get thoughts of him out of my head and I smiled whenever I thought of him.I tied the towel around my chest as I walked out of the bathroom but then on walking out of the bathroom, I met with the greatest shock of my life as I saw a half dressed Dave laying on my bed with a towel tied around his waist and I had never felt more dis
