“I said now!” The man in black said,he moved forward pointing the gun at Kate's head. Kate screamed and woke up she looked sideways and exhale.

“ Why did you scream like that?” Candice asked, still driving he glanced at her and back to the road. “ Oh thank heavens it was just a dream” Kate muttered, she was sweating profusely.

Candice looked at her weirdly as she kissed the car's carpet. “ Are you drunk or something?” Candice asked. “ I had a dream that we were ambushed” Kate replied, in all manner of seriousness.

Candice burst into laughter, Kate looked at him in shock she has never seen him so alive and happy. “ I don't think I have heard anything more comical in a really long time, seriously no one is bold enough to take that step” Candice said, shaking his head with a small smile on his face.

Kate stared at him, “ That is the longest statement you have ever said to me” she spoke, with a smile having a tingy feeling about the fact that she made him laugh.

    “Kate! Open up Kate!!” Debbie shouted, banging on Kate's door. Kate grumbles due to the noise she got up and fell back to the bed “ My head” she groans.She stood up again and opened her door, “ Aren't you going to school?” Debbie asked, a bit upset. “ Your eyes are so red, you drank too much Kate.” Debbie complained.She took Kate to the kitchen and prepared a concoction for her migraine “ I can't go to school looking like this, I shouldn't have drank so much yesterday” Kate whined, drinking the concoction.“You shouldn't, next time I won't be so caring. Who dropped you off last night?” Debbie inquired, as she sat on the kitchen cabinet. “ That was Camile's brother” she replied.“Okay, so you and Camile were busy matchmaking me with her brother. Who is he?” Debbie asked, Kate Snickers “ It's the hottest, youngest billionaire in the country! CEO of AJ STYLES!!” Kate announced, and whistled.“Camile's brother is Alex?, that was unexpected so the other guy that dropped you ?” Debbie ask

    Camile how are you feeling?” Candice asked, whilst eating at the dinning table. “ I'm fine” Camile responded, her face downward with black shades on.“Why do sound like that? And what's up with the glasses, we're inside cam” Candice asked, he sat opposite her direction. “ My eyes burn and I have got a sore throat, I just wanna go back to bed” she said, her palms rubbing her throat slowly.“ Mom asked what happened, I convinced her that you fell asleep in my car thank God you were in Dreamland. Because the entire house would still be on fire right now” Candice said.Camile scoffs “ You should be happy that I wasn't awake, mom would have found out that her amazing goody goody son is a fûcker.” She said, her weary face contort into a sly smile.“You should be thankful that I saved your sorry ass last night and not scheming against me. You would have been grounded” Candice sighed, cleaning the crumbs by the corner of his lips with a table napkin.“What about Kate? The last thing I remembe

    “I thought you weren't gonna be here till tomorrow” Debbie quizzed, staring at Zara whilst taking out their dinner. “ I wanted to spend the little time I have with my bestie, and besides we're going to the beach tomorrow” she clasped her palms in anticipation to the pancakes.“Liar, you came because I didn't tell you who the person was” Debbie rolled her eyes, sitting next to Kate who seemed entirely focus on her phone.Zara inhales the fresh scent of buttermilk, maple syrup been placed nicely on the dinning table “ I haven't seen you for an entire week and that's how you welcome me” she munches on the pancake filled with honey.“ Really, but you're seated and chewing loudly on a meal I prepared. I really have no words for you” Debbie resigns in annoyance.“I missed you too, I hope you're packed up for tomorrow” Zara smiled looking amidst the sisters. “ Someone would be joining us” she mumbled hoping there won't be any questions.“Someone? Who?” Debbie asked, perplexed. “ Jace” Zara s

    Debbie bashed her lashes repeatedly to be certain that she wasn't seeing things “ Alex” She said inaudibly in disbelief.Alex stood staring at her from a mile away, he could clearly see the shock expression on her face. He got distracted by Jace “ I just spoke to Zara, they are here let's go” Jace informed.Debbie walked out in anger remembering how Alex kept her locked her up in his house and the number of times he never showed gratitude for helping him.Alex turned back but there was no sight of her “ Alright” he said, putting his shades back on. Both stride to find the girls.“Sis where were you? You should get changed I think jace just got here” Kate said laying on the beach wagon with her swimsuit on. “I'll get going” Debbie excused herself and headed straight to the changing room.Jace made way to their direction “ Hey girls” he said smiling through his mask. Kate turned “ Do we know you?” She asked with raised brows.Jace chuckled and removed his mask. Kate gasped “ Oh my goodn

    “ Listen you don't know me neither do I, obviously you would be paranoid that a stranger saw you in that state. But I will not speak of it to anyone and I don't need your money” Debbie muttered taking in deep breaths.Alex just stood, her words cutting deep. She just had to remind him of his hideous past, putting him in dismay. The guts she had to speak so plainly, like she knew him or maybe she did see through his facade.He sighed having nothing else to say and walked away without a word, Debbie's eyes followed his retreating figure till he was far from her vision.Debbie sat looking back at the direction he passed and down at the money, she closed her eyes. Her anger dissipating “ Oh no why did I say that? I let my anger get the better of me.” She scolded.Feeling the weight of her outburst, she lay down reminiscing on the incident.“I said I'm sorry okay? I was just messing with you” Jace pleads running after Zara in the water. “ You both look like two kids playing tag” Kate giggl

    “ Candice I promised Alex that you would come, so please get ready so we could arrive there on time. Plus the media would be there I want nice pictures of us roaming across the internet” Camile gushed, talking nonstop. Candice grunts in frustration “ Cam! You talk too much I've heard you repeat that since you woke me up. And we don't have to rush to the venue, we ain't the contestant of the show. I don't even want to be there, I've got better things to do” he muttered rubbing his temples gently. Camile frowns “ Why have you been avoiding big bro anyway? He's the sweetest even though annoying” she rolls her eyes. Candice sighs, she has no idea about Alex's condition and how badly he was also affected. Ever since Alex's return he's been trying so hard to forget everything and come out of his shell but nothing seems to work. He doesn't want to involve Camile, she's still young and vibrant and doesn't deserve to carry such burden. “ I've nothing to say to him. I'll be out in a jiffy

    “Who are you talking about?” Kate asked, and looked back at their direction “ Sis! Could this day get any better, I get to meet my idol twice in a row” she gushed, totally forgetting her inquiry.“Yeah right, I need a drink” Debbie said walking slowly to the bar, she could feel the different pair of eyes on her. “ I should have just push through with my first choice, just a black long gown at least no one would look at me” she mumbled under her breath.The bartender smiled at her “ I need bourbon whiskey, thanks” she ordered and he went on to get it.She turned to Alex's direction and his eyes mirrored hers, he seems to be in a conversation with few business partners but his full attention is on Debbie. His eyes didn't leave her for a second until his siblings arrive diverting his attention and greets him only Camile did, Candice looks more like he was dragged to come.She took her time to look closely at his outfit, from his neatly trimmed beards, to his jet black hair, to his well i

    Debbie left the restroom and walked hastily to meet up with the girls, she bumps into Tyson “Oh I'm so sorry” Tyson apologized, he squints his eyes trying to remember where he had seen her.“ You're the lady I met at Alex's company, I never forget a pretty face” Tyson smiled, his eyes ogling at Debbie's body.Debbie moved back rubbing her throbbing head, “ Yeah thanks” she muttered. “You're here alone?” He asked looking around for anyone who was waiting for her.“ No, if you would excuse me” she said intending to walk past him,the conversation seems to be going to a path she wouldn't like.“Would you be so kind to have a dance with me?” He asked taking hold of her hand inappropriately. Debbie felt uncomfortable with his touch.“ I told you that I'm not alone” she said calmly trying to not make a scene. “ She's my date Tyson, take your hands off her” Alex's voice boomed.Debbie just stood stunned, she just wanted to get away from this pervert and if she has to play along with Alex the

    “ What's wrong kate?” Candice asked, sensing the distress in her voice. He moves to the edge of the bed flipping the switch on just by the bedstand.She got pissed upon seeing Candice, lifting herself off the bed “ You fuckin prick!” She roared, if eyes could kill Candice memorial service could have be held at this very moment. “ Can't you just stay away from me, you're just so shameless. Yet you accuse me of being a slut when you're a man whore!” She raises her voice.“ I'll not be insulted by someone who walked into my room willingly. You wanted to give your body to me as a peace offering, hmm?” He countered back, his eyes twitched in anger.Of course he was angry, he has every right to be. She knows absolutely nothing about him and yet make such vile comments. Yes, he's a flirt and yes he's a man of many many ladies. But he has never taken advantage of their advances.“ Your room, but Camile said the room was empty” she said lowly.“ You walked into the wrong room dammit, so it's

    As fast as lightning they parted, Debbie's hair on her hand stood at alert. “ That was my first kiss! Douchebag!” She screamed inwardly.“ Shit, I messed up that wasn't the plan. But fûck she taste like candy what if we actually went further. What's happening to me? No willpower” Alex scolded himself.They stood transfixed as the air grow thicker, reminiscing on the bothering yet addicting moment. Long excruciating minutes past.“ Seriously, the silent treatment? No form of intimacy did you forget? I thought that you were a man of your word” slightly annoyed Debbie said.I mean the man and being quiet whenever he's around her, at least he should apologize or just say something! Instead he messes with her head.He sighs “ It's just a peck and you wanted it, don't try to act like a saint. But yeah I shouldn't have breached the contract, don't worry it won't happen again. I'll be keeping a safe distance” he states, grabbing his blue shirt from the couch.Debbie felt like something she ha

His eyes land on Kate, as she takes her time to gather her things and she looked somewhat sad and lost in thought.Then his mind went back to the intimate scene, he groans as he felt his dick twitch. “ We should head back to our lodge” he informed and walked ahead of Zack.Zack cursed and followed behind him.“Kate hurry up, I'm starving and we can only get anything good at Candice's lodge” Camile whined.Kate carries her bag “ Do we really have to get to your brother's apartment today, we can just get anything at the cafeteria” she states slightly irritated.“I don't want that, I might fall ill from the meals served there. Please we'll be quick I don't wanna be the only girl there” Camile pleads h

    Kate had stormed out of the house, Apparently Debbie tried to convince her to forgive Dante but she declined and they had one hell of an argument. Right now she's in the middle of a class but staring into space fighting with her thoughts.She had decided not to come to school today,so she could spend time with her sister but that got squashed. She sighs as feeling of guilt settles within her.“ Hey! What's wrong? You've been sighing countlessly, I thought you'd not be coming today. How's Debbie?” Camile asked in a whispery tone, Kate informed her about the incident. Surprisingly no hate videos or news about her on the internet, Someone must have taken it down. Alex!.Camile the internet goddess would have been the first to sight the video. “ She's at home, thanks to your brother. I just needed to be somewhere else” Kate mumbled glancing at the lecturer, she definitely didn't prep for this everything just seems so out of place.“ And you decided to waltz in after third period?” She fur

    “ Dante” Debbie called out in surprise, “ How did you find this place?” She asked stealing glances at Kate, she looked furious, she could literally pounce on him right now.“ How did you get out?, I just left the station and found out that you've been released. I'm sorry that I couldn't get you out sooner” Dante said, skipping the question she had asked.Kate snarled behind him, “ I felt disappointed, because I was hoping that you'd come for me. But it's okay” Debbie said, a small smile gracing her face.Dante sighs sadly “ it's my fault you got into the mess in the first place, I would do anything to correct that and also to begin our relationship afresh as siblings” he lays out.“ So now you get to decide when we could talk, after all these years. I don't want to have anything to do with you” Kate grits her teeth, and walked away from her siblings.“ Kate, please listen to me” Dante pleads and attempt to follow her, but Debbie stops him. “She has been hopeful for this day but it ne

    “ Wha- whatt ” she stutters gawking at his backside, “ Now he has completely lost his mind, why would I ever agree to marrying him” she thought to herself. Alex clears his throat, breaking her out of her reverie “ You don't have to worry, I've gotten a contract here for you to go through and sign” that's when Debbie took notice of the black file he held.He handed the document to her “No sexual entanglement, just few acts while we're in the midst of our family” giving her hints of the drafted contract.“ Thanks for the offer but I don't want to have anything to do with you. I'll arrange for a lawyer” she stated returning the file. “ Your lawyer won't do you any good, you're only risking your life and that of your sister's by proving stubborn.” Debbie creased her brows at his utterance. “ What do you mean by that?” She asked, “ Your sister is left to fend for herself while you're stuck her. Someone's trying to ruin you” he warned, his eyes darting across the walls.“ You need me jus

    “ How long have you been there? You didn't have to leave your room” Jace asked while scolding him. Alex scoffs and groans in pain as he takes a step forward.“ I've been standing here long enough to have heard everything you all said” he glanced at Kate, “ You shouldn't address that cage as my room” his eyes darkened at Jace.“ Mr Alex, please I really need your help” Kate sniffed, dragging Alex's attention. “I meant everything I said, I don't go back on my word. Go home Kate.” Alex reassured.Kate hugged him without thinking “ Thank you so much idol” feeling genuinely grateful for his help. She disengaged from the hug and apologized immediately, she left the hospital with Zara after saying their goodbyes.“I didn't want to say anything in front of Kate and Zara, but you're still recovering Alex. You can't be walking around with a bandage strapped around you.” Jace said, hint of concern in his tone.“ I'm perfectly fine Jace, how many times do I have to say it” he sighs in exhaustion.

    “ I haven't done anything” she muttered glancing at the number of officers, who had their guns pointed towards her.The hallway swamped with workers who came to observe the scene. Murmuring filled the air and Debbie looked scared as hell. “ Your hands behind your back ma'am” The police officer repeated.Debbie dropped the bag roughly to the ground, revealing the stashed cash. She went down on her knees with her hands bent backwards, she felt cold sweat course through her body immediately she was handcuffed.She was directed by the officer to the exit door, Tears stream down her eyes “ Why am I been arrested ?” Her voice betraying her. “ Dante! Dante!!” She yelled at the top of her voice.“Please help me call my brother, I've done nothing wrong” she pleads to the workers along the way.Dante rush forward on hearing the commotion, shock and confusion mask his expression “ What's going on here?” He asked breathing heavily from all the running.“ You can follow us to the station” The offi

    “ I haven't even called Camile to ask about Alex” Debbie uttered in fear, “ Don't worry sis I already called her, her phone was switched off initially. She said that he hasn't woken up yet” Kate muttered.“ I don't understand why anyone would attempt to kill him” sadness engulf Kate as she recall the accident.“ He will be fine, there were a lot of people at the event yesterday it could be anyone. What I don't understand is my triggers, another nightmare last night something is definitely wrong” Debbie mumbled exhaling deeply.“ It might have been because of Mr Alex's accident” she stated “ Yeah I know that, but why, the other day when the news of his father's death came up I also had an attack. Is there something I'm missing? For years I've been fighting this, I'm completely exhausted” Debbie said thinking really hard but nothing came up.“Take it easy sis, I don't want you to get hurt maybe it's not yet time to unravel that part of your life” Kate reasoned with her and embraced her
