Alice Anderson"Shopping?" I can't help but ask the question that's running through my head. "Of course, today is a special day so, you have to dress well" he answered, opening his car door for me. "Why? Is there anyone special visiting today? I thought, today's dinner is between, you and I, Dad and Mom. Is there anyone coming that I have no idea of?" I ask him again. "Babe, there's no harm in trying something new. And, there's no one special coming over. I just feel to get you a dress. Is that bad that you don't want?" He asked, looking intensely into my eyes. I look deep into his ocean eyes which can drown me at any time and any moment. He really has beautiful captivating eyes. No, no, no. Snap out of it Alice. You're not supposed to do this. You should know all he is doing is nothing but fake - my subconscious warns me. Without saying a word further, I hop in the car. He walk to the other side and hop in the car, he ignite the car engine and drove off straight to the mall to
Alice Anderson"I mean... We... we're getting late. Mom must have been waiting up for us downstairs, don't you think?" I lied again. All I'm trying to do is get out of here before he entraps me again because I'm not ready to get hurt this time around again. I'm sure, I won't be able to control that pain if that happens. "Sure, I will help you with your shoes then" Before I can protest and stop him from doing what he says he was going to do, I'm already seated on the edge of my bed with my right leg on Ken's lap as he is trying to help me put on my heel. As he was helping out, he was smiling too like someone who just won a lottery. I wonder what's going through his mind right now and, what's so funny that made him smile like that. He helped with the right leg and moved to the left, before he slide my leg on the heel, he kissed my toe first and then slide my left leg into the shoe. I widened my eyes in horror and felt a sudden spark again from his action. "We're done. Come on, let me
Alice Anderson"Oh my! Look at your cute little face" my mom said smiling at the picture hanging on the wall I'm front of her.We're done eating and now in my room. She's looking at all the pictures I took when I was still little. Both the ones hang on the wall and the ones in the album. Dad and Ken said they have something important to discuss so, they're now both in Dad's study room. I want to really know what they're both talking about. They exclude me from everything and it's so annoying. We've been doing things together for years and now, they're both counting me out on everything they do. No, I need to talk to them and know if they were able to work on the plan we had weeks ago. "Mom, can you continue to look at the picture for the time being, I need to drop something off for Dad""Is it something serious?" She asked looking at me with a concerned face. "Oh! No, no, no. Nothing serious, it's just about the company. Mom, I will be right back, okay? Please, just give me a few
Alice Anderson "Hey mom" "You are done talking to him? That was fast" she said, turning her head to look at me and smiled. "Mmm, it wasn't much. Plus, I can't leave only you here. I need to be fast and come back as soon as I can" I answered. "So, are you done looking at the pictures?" I added as I move closer to her and take a sit beside her. "Well, almost. And this picture, when did you take them?" It's the picture I took during 6th grade. I took first place in class and Dad was so happy and proud of me so, he took me out to get me thongs just to make me happy. "In my sixth grade." I answered, shortly. "I'm so sorry, Alice." She suddenly apologize and turned to face me as she hold my hand in hers. "Mom, what are you doing?" "I'm sorry for not being there for you all this while. You know, looking at all your pictures now made me realize how distant I've been with you ""Mom, why are you apologizing when it's not even your fault? All that happened in the past, was never your f
Alice Anderson"Are you even listening to yourself right now? All I'm trying to do is to make things right with you. You've always complained that I'm heartless, I never want you around me, and now... Now that I'm trying to change just for you now means, everything I'm doing is wrong? What exactly do you really want, Alice?" He looks really pissed right now. Yes, he is right. I have always wanted him to treat me right like his woman but he has never for once done that to me. All he installed in me was; I will always be nothing but a girl who forced on him and now, he wants me to believe that he is doing this for me."Why?" I asked him. "What?" He looks confused. "Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to change just to please me?" I questioned again. I need to know what's going through his head. "Just because-" he was saying then stopped talking again. "Just because...?" I asked, looking into his eyes intensely. "Just because I want to. Can't I change because I want to?" He
Alice Anderson"Good morning beautiful" He took me off guard and the next thing I felt was his lip on my cheek. I swear, I wasn't expecting that. I widened my eyes in horror and turned to him hit instead, this brat winked at me. "How dare you kissed me?!" I wanted to burst at him but end up, drowning in the small smile he just pass me. Did I say earlier that he looks horrible? No, I'm wrong. He looks really charming. I never knew, putting on a black shirt and a black T-shirt would look so hot on him. "Okay, that's enough you lover birds. Let's seat and eat our food. You can eat each other later" "Mom!" I glared at her. Dad chuckle and shook his head. I helped Mom with the other two maids set the table before we finally seat and start eating. •"Alice, I swear, this had better be something serious else, I'm going to kill you for disrupting my sleep" Angel threatened and the rest of the girls burst into heavy laughter. I can't help but roll my eyes at what she just said. I guess,
Alice Anderson"Wait, what? She changed her mind?!" Sophia looked shocked as she questioned Chloe. Not only her but every one of us in my room right now looks shocked. The girls missed my mom's food so, they decide to come to Dad's house since that's where Ken and I still are. We will be leaving for our house by the weekend though.We're doing Skype with Chloe right now. I'm so happy, I can't even contain my happiness and end up jumping out of joy. "But how did it happen? Just yesterday, she was still adamant and believed you're only with her son because of his money?" I asked. "Well, turned out my mom used to be her friend, and also, they've always wanted Seb and I to marry each other right when we were kids. They lost contact some years ago and she couldn't even recognize me while I was working in the palace " Chloe explained. "What?!!" We all exclaimed at the same time."Yes, yes. I know y'all are surprised. I'm as surprised as you girls.""But, how is that even possible? It me
Alice Anderson"Hey Ken, what's with the weird look on your face?" Sophia tried to make a joke but instead, he walk over to where I was seating, grabbed my right hand, and forcibly stand me up. "K... Ken" I stuttered as I called out his name in fear. Seeing him acting like this is beginning to scare me again. I thought, he has changed. So, what's going on?Without replying to her, he tried to drag me away with him but Sam hurriedly stood in front of him with her hands wide open as she stop him with her slender body. All my friends joined her and tried to block him with their bodies."Out of my way, Sam" he ordered in a cold tone."No, we're never going to allow you to take her away like that. Do you even know how you look right now? You look like a monster and I'm sure, you're definitely going to hurt her again. No, I'm not going to allow that. You've been hurting her way too long and now, you really have to stop that. It's time you stop all this nonsense, Ken! I thought you have ch
