Alex's Room“Why can't I get her out of my head, I mean I've never been so affected by a woman before. Why is she so special?” Alex battles with his thoughts.A knock on his door jolts him out of his reverie, wondering who that could be. He got out of his king-sized bed walking towards the door and opens it “ Mom, what are you doing here?” He asked, a bit surprised.“ So I can't come to your room anymore huh?” Mrs Jane asked as she walks in. Her eyes scanning the entire place and she smile. “This room has been kept clean for years” she said.“ No mom, I'm just surprised that you are here. Yeah it's like I never left everything is still the same ”Alex replied, a flicker of sadness in his eyes.“ So I came here because I need to tell you something” she said a bit shakened, getting Alex's attention “ Your father's burial is tomorrow,we have made all the arrangements” she rushed her words.“What? Why so fast? Why are you just telling me now mom?” His voice cracked, he could feel his hea
“Dan it's me, kate, your baby sister.” Kate said,her voice cracked and full of emotions. She couldn't help but wonder why her own flesh and blood loathes them. “I said you both should leave!, how tf did you even get my house address, just get out!” Dante said angrily, his veins threatening to burst out of his forearm as he tightens his fist on the door knob.“Kate let's leave,we are not needed here” Debbie said, holding Kate whose eyes are brimming with tears. “ we won't make the mistake of coming here ever again.” Debbie walks out with Kate by her side.Debbie gaze at her sister and her heart squeezed in hurt,she feels every pain but she has to stay strong for her sister.“Kate please stop crying, you don't shed tears for someone who doesn't want to have anything to do with us.” she said softly, pulling her in for a hug.“Let's just go home.” Debbie said.—--------------“As we gather here, for the final rites of Mr Bill Jefferson.” The priest said, glancing at the crowd present on
Jace walks into Alex's room only to be welcomed by the shocking scene before him “Christ! Alex what are you doing? Stop this!” Jace roars, taking out an injection and pumps the fluid into his neck. Alex slumps to the ground falling asleep immediately.“Aunt are you okay? Am so sorry, thank God I got here on time. He ran out of his drugs and I had to order more that's why I wasn't at the ceremony.” Jace explains, rushing his words.“It's okay am fine, will he be alright?” Mrs Jefferson asked, her chest heaved with fear and shock that her son almost killed her. She looks at Alex and almost burst out in tears, because she couldn't do anything to help him out of his misery.“He will be fine don't worry, please just go to your room aunt” Jace said, to her soothingly after which she uses a scarf to cover the marks on her neck and leaves going straight to her room.Jace lifts Alex to his bed and clean up his wounds. “ Today you almost killed aunt, what if I was a minute late?,you would have
“ Oh just great, it's you no wonder the crowd” Debbie said, her eyes scanning the women ogling at Alex. “ You can't even apologize, are you a statue or something? Mr mute” Debbie whinged, trying to suppress her anger.Alex frowns at her words which went unnoticed “Get into the car, I will get it changed for you” Alex said, taking few steps to his car in an attempt to get in.“What do you mean by that? I ain't any of those women that would be swayed by your wealth” Debbie said, her tone serious leaving room for no doubt.The onlookers taking pictures of the scene,still in bewilderment that the CEO of AJ STYLES is standing and conversing with a woman! Something that has never happened before.“ I would advise that you get in,I don't have all the time in the world and am sure you've somewhere else to be?” Alex asked, getting tired of her tantrums.Debbie clears her throat having a second thought as she needed to be at her gallery “ Yeah sure.” She proceeds to the car and got in, seating
PRIMEVILLE COLLEGE “I have been walking endlessly, and still can't find my department” Kate said, to herself dragging her feet and bag tiredly. “Hey,are you new here?” Camile asked, holding her books to her chest.“Yes” kate mutters, trying to avoid eye contact. “Wow really? I also just got here, my name is Camile and am in psychology department” Camile said, her face contoured a smile .Kate who seems worn out and uninterested in the conversation swiftly takes her head up, “Psychology department? I've been walking round the entire hallway looking for it, I'm Kate, nice to meet you” Kate said, breathing out in relief.“Good thing I found you here, nice meeting you Kathy c'mon we have a class now” Camile chuckles, both walking side by side towards their lecture hall.“ It seems we're a bit late, lectures have started let's sit right over there.” Camile said, tiptoeing to a chair by the doorway. “ This is the first class right?” Kate asked, taking her books out of her bag. She alread
Alex got distracted and Debbie made a run for it not looking back till she was out of the company. And took a taxi in a rush as she felt she's still been watched.FLASH BACK ENDS…. “Nothing is going to ever take me back there” Debbie said, breathing heavily and heading to her room to take a shower._______“How did Tyson get through the security and straight to my office?” Alex asked, looking at the busy city through his office window. “He told them that you both are business partners” Jace replied, chuckling glancing at Alex's back view “what happened though?” He asked.“He walked in on me and that lady, why pretend to like me? I fûcking hate his guts. Tyson and his assistant has something up their sleeve, they have no idea who they are trying to mess with.” Alex responded, his eyes glistening with anger.“We'll be having a general meeting at their company, find out every piece of information that isn't known to the public” Alex said, turning to around to look at Jace and his face
“Kate we should get going now, thank goodness the lecture ended in time” Camile spoke, right after the professor left the class. Kate chuckles “lazy brat, you only get serious with snaps and Instagram.” She said, putting her school bag on her right shoulder. “ Duhh I have a whole lot of fans and followers there, girls are ready to walk down the street naked just to meet with my brothers. It's funny how desperate this girls could get. I only post their pictures to get more followers, lucky me for having hot brothers.” Camile giggles.“Brothers? I thought you had just one?” Kate inquired, “ Nope my other brother is the owner of AJ STYLES, let's go I will just convince Candice to drop you off at your house.” Camile responded.“Wow I'm a huge fan, are you sure he won't disapprove?” Kate asked, feeling skeptical about the idea. “ Don't worry just trust me okay” Camile replied, putting a call through to Candice.They left the class walking down to the parking lot, Candice just stood his ha
“Big sis! Am off to school, I don't wanna be late. I love you take care.” Kate said, loudly peeping through her sister's room. She left the house afterwards. Debbie woke up due to the noise, “ This girl won't be the death of me, she just had to scream and now I've got a migraine” she mumbled, holding onto her aching head.She stood up and got a beep on her phone “ Ah! So many orders, all from one freaking person!” she hollered, her eyes widened in shock instantly her headache vanished.She still couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at her phone screen to be sure that she wasn't seeing things. “ I only got the address to the place, I'll get to know who made those orders in person. It might be Zara's doing” Debbie reasoned, and rushed to take her bath.—---------“Hey! Kathy” Camile called out, causing Kate to abruptly stop right at the school entrance. “ Camile you came alone?” Kate asked, staring at her as she got out of the flashy SUV.“Yeah Candice is always late and I can't wai
“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
“ 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
“ 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
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
“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
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
“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
“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.Candice clears his throat
Kate and Camile got to the venue where the party is been held “I don't think we can squeeze through the crowd” Kate shouted, because of the loud music. “This is my first live party and am not missing it for anything, so you better get ready to push anyone that gets in the way baby girl” Camile uttered, her eyes filled with determination.“What's that smell? The party just started and the entire hall stinks, geez my eyes and nose can't take in anymore stench” Kate uttered, with her hand on her nose and the other blowing air to her eyes.“Quit whining and let's go in” Camile said, dragging Kate into the crowd. They forced their way to the front roll and met Zack with a girl rocking him hard.“Zack this isn't for old meat bro, it's a freshmen party what are you doing here?” Camile asked, looking at him like he had grown horns. Zack chuckles.“Well I came to get fresh pussies, Candice and Cole came too I dragged them here tho” Zack smirked, staring at kate.“My brother is here?” Camile q
