“ 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.
“ 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
“ 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
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
Candice, Candice!” Zack called out, breaking him out of his reverie.“ What's going on with you man, Are you okay?” he asked worriedly.Candice tilts his head and realize they were still in front of the class “ I'm good” he responded, glancing at the students as they walk towards the exit. 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
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
“ 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
Kate, where did Debbie run off to?” Zara asked, staring at the wide open door.“ I've no idea, but she didn't look happy at all” Kate glanced at the same direction.“ Yeah, she looked frightened we should go find her now” Zara said hastly grabbing an extra coat for Debbie as they moved out of the house.“ Please, just answer” Debbie pleads, her eyes brimming with tears as she glance at her phone. “Dammit!” She voiced out in frustration, still no response.She walks down the street barefooted and shaking visibly from all the chilly winds coming her way, she cursed recalling how she left with just her nighties. Debbie looks around her and shudder at the unfamiliar dark route.“ Shit I think I took a wrong turn, maybe I should just head back” she mutters to herself, wrapping her arms across her shoulders.A whistling sound caught her attention, she turned and gasped at the men whose eyes couldn't stop staring at her body.“ Ouuu la-la, tonight just got better. I thought I was gonna go ho
“ Camile, I'm gonna thank him later. I'm feeling very uncomfortable in this dress, you couldn't find anything better for me to wear and if Candice sees me dressed like this, he might think I'm trying to gain his attention.” Kate tried reasoning with her.Kate couldn't keep her hands off it, the sorry excuse of a gown just left her milky thick thighs bare, it made her feel self-conscious of herself and against preying eyes. She's used to maxi gowns and skirts, that way people would pay less attention to the nerdy girl.Camile glanced at the sleeveless mini gown, with an exposed back “ You look hot babes” she complemented, “ Well, you've no interest in wooing my brother or any other male figure in this house. Let them think whatever” She rolled her eyes “ We're right in front of his room, a simple thank you would do and I'd drive you home” she shrugged, gesturing her eyes to Candice's room.“ What the fûck is this” She looked at her phone and then at Kate, “ I think I'm loosing my sigh
Debbie's eyes followed his movement, he opened the box and withdrew a ring, a piece unlike anything she has ever seen. It glowed so brightly and Debbie's eyes flickered at it immense beauty.Alex took her hand, placed the ring in her finger and caressed it “ It fits perfectly” they mumbled simultaneously and gazed at each other for a good number of minutes.He straightened himself up and leaned back on the seat, “ You understand that this has to be done, drastic measures calls for drastic decisions” His hands balled into a fist.Debbie subconsciously grazed the diamond ring, “ Yes, I understand” She answered firmly and glanced back at Alex's wears, a matching color to her gown, he looked handsome as ever with loosed buttons on his shirt.“Boss, we're here” The stoic driver informed through a see-through window in the car, he closed the window afterwards.They can already hear the murmurings, people whispering in anticipation to the guest that just drove in, nothing is visible to their
“ Cam, I thought I was dead” Kate uttered with quivered lips, her face etched in fear, Camile's arms wrapped around her as a means of comfort.“ I was scared to death, it was terrifying Camile” She cried profusely, her face all red and puffy.“ It's okay, everything is fine. Nothing happened to you, the doctor said you were in shock. Could you recognize anyone of ‘em ?” She asked.“ No, it was dark” she sniffed, “ it doesn't matter anyway, I'm just glad you're fine” she pulled Kate closer to her chest.“ Whose room is this?” Her eyes scanned the dark theme.“ It's Candice's room” Camile responded, “ He took you out of there just in time” She breathed out, her thoughts reeled on what would've happened if Candice didn't go back in.Kate sighed “ Why does he do it? He saves me and the next minute he acts like I disgust him, I don't understand” she muttered to herself.“ What did you say?” Camile looked down at her, their bodies entangled, “ I should thank him, he has been my knight in a
“ Candice, where's Kate?” Camile asked, holding onto his shirt. He sighed and she glanced behind him, her eyes caught Kate being carried by Thaddeus.She withdrew her hand and moved closer to the duo “ oh my God, what happened to her?” She quivered unable to grasp the mishap, her friend looked lifeless and stained in blood.“ We should get to somewhere safe” Thaddeus suggests, putting Kate in the backseat of Candice's car. They drove swiftly out of the school.Candice carried Kate in his arms and into his house, heading straight for his room “ I'll call the doctor” Camile informed. “ You can leave now, she's safe here.” Candice said curtly whilst shooting a glare at Thaddeus.“ I'm not leaving till she's awake” he retorted, “ Suit yourself but not in my house” Candice dragged him by the collar and pushed him outside.“ What happened?” Cole asked right after the drama, “ The hunters, they attacked and Kate encountered one of them tonight.” He responded.“ Shit! Is she badly hurt?” Sho
Debbie has her legs folded to her chest with her hands wrapped around her, she rocks herself back and forth, staring into space.Just when she thought, everything was right and in place, the one thing that made her feel sane and normal, was caught on fire. She sighs tiredly allowing her tears flow freely down her cheeks, every hardwork thrown into the mud, she might as well slit her wrist this very fûcking minute.She leans on her couch, glancing at every object in her small home, recalling how she started, from a scared little girl with the responsibilities of a parent. At that time, She only knew doctor Susan and she was familiar with rare cases like hers, she offered Debbie the best care and support while every other individual saw her as a burden. Being such a stubborn child, she didn't give in easily, she relapsed several times, went into the emergency room like a daily routine just to be revived, even therapy until the sudden revelation of paintings.She could be in a room for
The school bell rings, jolting Kate out of her daydream “ I shouldn't be here” she mumbled, regretting her decision on leaving Debbie alone.She received a call from Camile about an impromptu test, it's something she couldn't afford to miss as it covers her grade for the semester.“ Hey, that guy has been staring at you” Camile said, gesturing with her eyes to the opposite direction.Kate glances and swiftly looks away “ it's Thaddeus or whatever his name is, remember the day I told you someone almost raped me” She whispers.“ Too bad he made such a move on you, he just entered my trash list and he looks so hot. Such a disgrace” Camile shakes her head.“ He's coming!” Camile informs her, “ Hi Kate” he stood in front of her but maintained a safe distance so as not to frighten her.Kate remained mute and looked around, the class is filled with students, there's no way he would make a move on her. She eased up a bit.“ I'm sorry about that night, I was drunk and stupid.” he cursed, Kate
“Tyson?” Jace repeated, “ I know you both have had your differences but..” he paused, tracing Alex's eyes to the door.“ Why are you here?” Alex questioned, definitely didn't expect to get an odd visit from a not so friendly opponent.“ Oh wow that's my cue to leave but…” he sighs deeply “ Not until we discuss the reason for my arrival. The tension right here is palpable, did I come in at the wrong time?” Tyson asked staring at the two men upfront.“ You could have sent an email or your assistant” Alex raise a brow at him. Tyson chuckles “ Well yeah but nah I wanna be here in person” his lips curved up in a smirk. “ I got the award for the best historical attire of the year” he announced waving the sculpture-like silver award.“ You came all the way here, just to showoff? Are you that jobless?” Alex asked, a bit pissed at the moron. “ You can have that piece of shit, that ain't an award. Why don't you aim higher, huh?” “ Award to the best craftsmanship in clothing, I've won for eve
“ Why wouldn't you just leave me alone” Debbie grumbles in her sleep, still the loud bang on her door persists. Grumpily she walks up to the door and unlocks it, the sudden force startling her “ Can't I get some sle..” her remaining words got stuck in her mouth. “ How'd you guys get here?” She asked, staring shockingly at Kate and Zara as they look at the room in admiration. Kate glares at her but ends up shrieking in excitement. ‘ overly dramatic’ Debbie thought inwardly whilst shaking her head. “ Seriously, Is that how you welcome us?” Zara asked, raising an eyebrow at her. “ Gosh sis, you didn't feel the need to tell me you and Mr Alex were a thing?” Kate pouts, “ I've been drooling the minute I saw the front gate, you're cat walking in a lot of money here. The only problem is that you don't catwalk” she sighs. “ Yeah I also wanna know why you didn't tell me, I'm your best girl Debs” Zara interjects, her shoulder sagged in disappointment. “ You just left us unannounced last ni
Alex is seated in his office. It has just been for emergency, In cases whereby he can't go to the company. He just do all of his paperwork in this office right in the penthouse. The black blinds shifted at each corner as he looks through the windows and onto the busy road of L.A ( Los Angeles).He sighs deeply, not from all the hooting, but the clock ticking and yet no news of Debbie's awake.Jace who has been quiet and observant at Alex's straight face for almost an hour “ She's going to be okay. You could look like you careless with others but not with me. I know you, you're worried and concern. What if she ends up like your father” he spoke.Alex shifts his gaze shooting daggers at him with his stares. “ Christ, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that you might be having such thoughts. Now quit glaring at me” Jace scoff.“ What was she doing with those goons so late? And with just a nightwear” Jace mutters.A nurse step in, her head bent “ Sir, I just came to inform you that
