SEVEN YEARS AGO

PARIS

I hopped on my bicycle and pedaled my way to school. I had just begun eleventh grade in a new school and wanted to get to class quickly. I got off my bicycle when I arrived and began hurrying to my class because I was already late.

Just as I got close, three guys suddenly surrounded me. From the expressions on their faces, I could tell they were bullies. Wherever I went, I always caught the attention of people like them because of the way I looked.

The three students began to smile as they circled me and one of them said, "Wow! You're so beautiful that being in your presence makes it difficult to breathe."

They all laughed and another said, "Come on, Spike, if you tell her such lies, she might end up believing them. In all my years of living, I have never seen someone as ugly and obese as you."

The third guy said, "Stop it, guys. How can you make fun of her? Can't you see she's a new student? Stop scaring her."

As he spoke, he draped his arm around my neck and

    PARISWhen I was done for the day, I got on my bicycle and began my journey back home. I did my best to avoid Brad because I was afraid of the attention he was giving to me and the way he made me feel.No one had given me that much attention since I was born. My life had always been that way. My mom had me out of wedlock and I never knew my dad. She believed I ruined her life so she always took out her anger on me.She did not fail to remind me of how ugly I looked and how much she hated me. Nevertheless, I loved her because she was the only family I knew. Her elder sister, who visited us once in a while hated my face as well and always told my mum I was an embarrassment to their family since they were all good-looking."She took after her chubby and ugly father," my mom would always say. One day, I came back from school and she was gone. There was no sign of my mom because she had moved out and she left me behind. I was fourteen, and afraid of ending up in foster care because I beli

    PARISI got out of Brad's car and said goodbye to him. I had just agreed to be his girlfriend and gotten my first kiss. If this was a dream, then I never wanted to wake up.I was so excited that even when I went into the house, I could not get any of my chores done. I kept replaying that special moment in my mind. Was Brad really so crazy about me? But what was it about me that he found attractive?Other than being good at my academics, I was nothing to write home about. At least I knew that for a fact. Brad made me feel special and beautiful, in a way I had never felt before. I didn't want this feeling to end, not for the rest of my life.Even when I went to work that evening, I was all smiles and kept freaking out my coworkers who always found reasons to laugh at me. For the first time in my life, someone loved and wanted me. And it wasn't just anyone, it was Brad Stanton; the hottest bad boy in my school or should I say hottest hero in my school.I could already see us going to col

    PARISAfter he hugged me, Brad offered me a seat and asked if I was hungry and I told him no. How could I afford to eat at such a time? My mind was a mess and I felt like I was imagining everything. The fact that I was in Brad's house and he had hugged me seemed too good to be true to me."I'll quickly take my bath," Brad said and went into his bedroom.There weren't many items of furniture in the living room, only a table and the chair I was sitting on. Was I going to sleep on the floor? It wouldn't be the first time though, so I didn't mind. I believed Brad had already done so much for me by offering me his place to pass the night.He came out of his bedroom wearing only his boxers. I closed my eyes the moment I saw him but he laughed, "Come on, Paris, stop being so shy. I've already told you, I am your boyfriend so there's no need for us to hide anything from each other. Come inside.""Your bedroom?" I asked."Where else would I be speaking about?" He asked back. "Or do you intend

  • Billionaire Series; Falling Into You   WHY?

    PARIS I could not understand what was happening or why Brad whom I believed loved me so much was hurting me.I tried to speak but could not get any words out. I had not still eaten because I was in a hurry to get to school, so I felt weak.My face turned red and my eyes stung with tears. When I could not bear the pain anymore, I held Brad's hands to stop him from hurting me.However, he pushed me backward and I ended up falling into the arms of one of the other three boys. He cried out, "She's too heavy," and quickly let go of me.I fell on my back with a shriek while they all laughed at me.As I sat up, I stared at Brad with tears rolling down my cheeks. The only word I could manage was, "Why?""Because you disgust me," he replied as he walked closer to me.He squatted in front of me and continued, "I know you are dumb and stupid but don't you have a mirror? How could you think you are beautiful just because I said so?FYI, every time I said those words to you, I felt like puking.

    PARISI lost my balance and fell on my back but the person who had pulled me back, took the hit as I landed on his body.I heard a painful groan as he freed his hold on me. I rolled to the side, so he could get up but unfortunately, struck my head against a stone and began to bleed from the head.The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the silhouette of a much older man as he stood in front of me and tried to get me up.I opened my eyes to the smell of disinfectant. I looked around the room and struggled to adjust to the light, I was in a hospital room. My head had been bandaged and beside me sat a man whom I later found out was in his early fifties.He smiled at me, causing me to become alarmed since people were usually not nice to me. I tried to get up but it all came back to me; the betrayal and humiliation I had suffered at the hands of Brad Stanton.I suddenly remembered the man beside me as the person who stopped me from jumping over a bridge. My heart was in a lot of pain

    PARISONE WEEK LATERLike a dream, my life suddenly turned around. I still could not believe I had gotten a new father and mother. I stayed at the hospital during the time they worked out my adoption papers.I was skeptical about everything at first, but then I wondered; what did I have to lose? I was someone who had already given up on life and almost committed suicide. What could be worse than that?I had also looked up my new family and most of what I had heard from them was what I saw on the internet. Mrs. Lawson was very sweet and kind. She visited me every day and made sure I ate and slept properly while at the hospital.The doctor explained my health condition and Mrs. Lawson assured me that everything would be fine. As I was being driven home, I looked at both of them from the back where I sat and wondered; how could such kind people exist?When we arrived at their mansion, they led me into the house. I was surprised to see a small crowd, waiting to welcome me into their famil

    PARISI went back to my seat, and stared at the plaque on my table, "Paris Lawson," my name was boldly written in capital letters. I smiled as I stared at it for a while. I paged my secretary afterward and she came in immediately."You called for me, ma'am.""Push all my meetings to tomorrow, Linda, I'm going home, I need to rest my head.""Okay, ma'am," Linda replied and left my office.I called my driver and asked him to get the car ready.On my way out of the company, I got a call from my sister, Paige."Hey, Paris," Paige's sweet voice rang from the other side when I answered the call.I couldn't help but smile as I replied, "Big sis, I was about to call you, are you home? I'd like to stop by for a bit, there's something I need to share with you.""How about we meet at home?" She suggested. "I'd like to say hi to mom and dad."I immediately agreed, and she said, "See you in a bit."After the call ended, I walked into my private elevator and got on it. When I got down, I walked pas

    MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

    MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa
