Keeping secrets

2024-10-29 19:42:56I didn't bother going back to the diner. My mind was too clouded.
It felt as if I was only digging myself deeper in this hole. There was no way out and someone was above throwing dirty on me.
As I climbed the stairs to my apartment, I spot a dirty-looking cat that had cuts on its head.
It meowed weakly, then bumped its head on my leg.
"You and me both, buddy." I continue walking up the stairs and it followed.
I waited at the opened door, then looked down at the cat.
"Do you want to come in are not? I don't have much, but I know it's better than out there."
The cat gave a meow as if agreeing to me, then scattered inside.
I threw myself down. As soon as I did, the door slid open.
"Sister," Jenna said, throwing her bag on the floor.
"Jenna."
"J."
"Cooper."
"You and bailed on me, I had to cover for you, Cooper got spat at for being flamboyant. Then these two shit heads came in, took s

"Can you tell Jimmy I won't make it to work today?" "Why?" Jenna stopped. "Just tell him I'm not feeling well." Jenna rolled her eyes. I waited until both she and Cooper left, before leaving as well. I had a mission to do and I can't let them know what I had planned. "Stupid lock," I muttered, forcing the rusting thing together. Even though we had little, that still wouldn't stop someone from looting our place, or Martin might move a new family in. I walked to a familiar area of the city, one that anybody would stay clear of. But not me. I walked down the piss smelling street to the house that I haven't been in for years. I cast another nervous glance over my shoulder, after thinking that I heard footsteps behind her in the alley. 'Am I being followed or paranoid?' I now wished I had never come here, but me being me. I don't listen and continue to be a fuckup. I heard a laugh coming from

"So, this is where the infamous one-night stand, Jordan Sanders lives?" "Again, how the fuck did you get in here?" "Don't worry about that. I have my ways." "This is trespassing." "But what are you going to do? Besides, this place doesn't have much. It's... filthy." Cameron said, leaning his head to the side. "You little fucker, because of you I can't get a job anywhere in the country and now you break into my place and give nasty remarks about how I live." "If you hate it so much, please leave. Because you sure as hell aren't welcomed here." Cameron gave an exaggerated laugh. "Relax chick. I'm just here on a friendly visit." "We aren't friends." "We could be. I won't lie the little hit-and-run person that you are have spiked my interest." "Leave." "Make me." I ran a hand through my hair, thinking about what I could have done to have a man like this on my back. "Listen, I'

"Little shit!" I yelled at the door.I picked the money up off the ground, thinking that I should burn it, but after doing a recount. I decided it would be best to get it to Dante.It was 17 thousand dollars, which means I would only owe him 8. Which I might be able to pay back easily, seeing that I now have Cameron Carter's black card.I laughed to myself."Maybe this rich prick has a little use."I studied the card number, then looked at the back.I knew just how to spend money off it without it tracing back to me.One swipe of that machine that was tucked away under my bed, and whatever money that one this card is at my disposal.I set out to my task, cracking my knuckles as I prepare to have thousands, possibly millions, of dollars.After the machine finished booting up, I ran the card through a part that would make it untraceable back to me. Then I check to see how much money was on the card.My face fell.

"Do you normally get into cars with strangers?""Oh my God, you are a killer, aren't you?"He laughed, "no. I have a reputation to uphold.""Do you normally pick up random chicks at the bar?""No, tonight I decided to live a little. That wasn't even my usual spot, but I had to clear my head.""And you decided that losing yourself in my pussy would help.""Pussy is such a raw word.""Sorry, vagina.""Would you like something to eat before we get there?"“Hmm, sure."I don't know what it was, but oddly, being in this Mercedes didn't scare me as much as it should have.After picking up something to eat, and getting to his place. I forgot all about the possibility of him being either, a killer or a trafficker."This is your place?" I asked, spinning around the foyer to his penthouse.""It is."I rushed over to a large glass window to watch the street below."We are really high

I got off the piano, my legs were weak and shaking. I wobbled and if it wasn't for him, I would have fallen over."Are you ok?" He asked."I-" I cleared my throat."I need to use the bathroom.""To your left, down the hall." He said, then gave me his shirt.I hurried in that direction. The hall was dimly lit with a red, soft glow.I looked back to where I came from when I heard music playing.‘Just who is this guy?’When I got back to where he was, my stomach grumbled at the smell of food."Let's eat." He said, holding up the box with fried rice."Do you always do this?" I asked."Do what?""Pick up randoms at bars, fuck them good, and feed them?’’He laughed, "no. This was actually my first time. That place isn't somewhere I usually go.""And tonight you just happen to be there, saw me and take me back here?""When you say it like that, you make me seem l
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Who's that guy
Getting out of the penthouse was easy. Once I ignored the looks I got from the other residents.The hard part was walking home, all the way across town in only a shirt and a pair of heels."I officially hate Wednesday nights," I said to myself.Plus, my feet were killing me, and hitching a ride was not an option.When I got home, I walked in on Cooper twerking and my sister cheering him on."And where have you been?" Jenna stopped to look at me."Nowhere.""Nowhere? Jordan, I was worried about you last night. The way you just vanished made me think someone took you.""Whose shirt is that?" Jenna quizzed."I was in bed with another rich fuck. But at least this time his dick was incredible.""My God, you are a serial one-night stander," Cooper said."That is not a thing.""It is now your thing. You have to be careful, you wouldn't want another Cameron around. Or omg, what if he set that guy up on you?"
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Bad news
The next morning, while trying to take orders, my mind was heavy because Cooper refused to tell me who Jasper is.I made my way over to a table that had a group of teenagers that were being disruptive."May I take your orders?" I asked."Yes, how about showing us your tits?" One with long green hair said."How about you little shits get out of here or else I will send the videos of you harassing an old lady and picking pockets? I'm sure that they would love to throw you in juvenile detention for underage drinking, destruction of property, and so much more." I smiled.Their laughs died down."I thought so.""Apple pies would be fine." Another responded."No, get out of here."I skated over to another table, that had what I guessed was social media influencers. They were all dressed as if they were going to Coachella, or had a meeting with P. Diddy."May I take your order?"One girl pulled down her John Lenno

For two days, we didn't go to work. I was like an empty shell and with food in the house, I couldn't eat it."How do you even plan a funeral?" Jenna asked, coming to sit beside me.She had a few brochures from a couple of funeral homes on the table before her."We could always cremate her as she wanted, and one day sprinkle her ash in Greece. I mean, it's only three of us, so to not have any additional costs, I think this is best." I shrugged."That's it then," Jenna said, pushing the papers off the table."I still don't see why they waited this long to let us know mom died. 8 days? It took them 8 days to contact us." Jenna said after a long pause."That means she died after I left the hospital," I said."Can't you use this against them, neglect or something?" Jenna asked."They will say we didn't pay, so it makes no sense."Cooper came by at that, holding up a paper bag with fast food."Shrimp pasta, lasagne, and

"Cooper, can you put your phone down and help me with this dress? I can't get it over my stomach." I complained. He fanned me off. "One second, they are about to pass the verdict. I want to hear if he will get a life sentence or what."I rolled my eyes, then continued to struggle without his help.Copper glanced up at me and laughed. "Look at you with that planet before you.""Shut up and help me.""No one told you to get married with your damn eight months belly. You better pray that this dress doesn't rip.""That's why I bought two.""Has the jury reached a verdict?" A stern voice asked from the top pocket of Cooper's jacket."Yes, your honour. In the case of people against Cameron. We find Cameron Carter guilty on ten counts of fraud. Guilty on five counts of rape, one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of conspiracy to murder. And guilty on three counts of child abuse and pornography."There was an uproar, but whatever Cooper was watching the month long sa
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Engagement party and a bitter bitch
After getting dressed in a light green dress, Jasper and I made our way stairs to where everyone was milling around, wondering what was going on.Jasper stopped on the third step before addressing our guests."Thank you all for coming. I know everything was short noticed and you all must be wondering why I called you here. So let me just welcome everyone to my new home, one that I will be sharing with my fiance. My soon to be wife, Jordan Sanders, and our baby."There were collective gasps and low murmurs."That is right, I have asked this beautiful woman to be my wife, and she said yes."Even though there were confused faces, they all applauded. But I could see a few faces that didn't seem too happy about our announcement. One I particular was Mariana, leaving me to wonder why Jasper invited her. The other was from a man who had a deep frown, not hiding his displeasure. People came over to congratulate us."Welcome to the family, sis." Alice came up to me and pulled me into a hug."

"I need to make a stop by the bank first, then we can go shopping. And then the party," I told Jasper."Why do you need to go to the bank?" Cooper narrowed his eyes.I looked away from him.''Are you going to send Jenna money?" He asked.I nod once. "Coop, she is my sister. I can't just leave her like this."He rested a hand on my shoulder. "I know. I'm not mad at you."When we got to the bank, everyone was staring at me. Someone even snapped a picture. "Well, look at you. Engaged, a baby on the way, and a celebrity all in the same year." Cooper whispered. "Don't forget Otis daughter and Jasper's girlfriend." I whispered back.I went up to the smiling teller."Good morning," she chirped."Moring. I would like to transfer some money to an account. It is under the name Jenna Eva Sanders."The teller took the slip that I wrote the amount on.Her mouth formed an O. "Jordan Sanders, can you give me a minute, please?" She held up a finger before moving to the brown desk behind her. "Sir,

‘’Why are you looking at me like that?" Jasper only smiled, shaking his head. "Seriously, it's creeping me out.""You are beautiful." He kissed me, then kissed my stomach. That was starting to show now that I was almost at five months. I put my bra on, then moved to sit on the bed. Jasper was still staring at my half naked body and smiling."See something that you like?" I teased. "Actually, I do." Jasper kissed me again. He stood up and stepped back a bit, then went down on one knee."Jordan Sanders, I don't want to lose you-""Yes." I nod, cutting him off."You didn't have to let me finish." He laughed."You don't have to. I love you Jasper and I don't want to lose you either. You gave me love despite all that I have done. You stood by my side with all that I have been through. I couldn't have asked for anyone better."He smiled, then placed a large diamond ring on my finger.I gazed at it for a while."Is this an engagement ring or a wedding ring?"He kissed my lips instead of

"That went over better than I thought," I said to Jasper as we drove back."It did, but I had no doubts.""Really?""None."Pulling up inside the garage, I saw Cooper along with Andy waiting by the elevator, pressing the call button."Where are they?" I heard Cooper groan."Here," I said after getting out of the car."Thank God. Jordan, your sister has gone bat shit crazy," he said as I walked over to him."What do you mean?"Cooper showed me the live video on his phone. It was of Jenna sitting in a dimly lit room crying and saying that she was going to kill herself. "Honestly, since no one believes me and I can't be with the one I love. I might just end this. At least I'll be with my mother. If not, then I'll be happy."No one seemed to be taking her seriously, because it was nothing but laughing emojis."I should call her." I pulled out my phone and dialled her number.On the video, she looked at the screen and sighed. "What do you want, Jordan? To tell me to go ahead and take my l

"Holy shit, this is where Otis lives?" I said. Jasper seemed just as surprised when the gates to an expansive luxury-mega mansion opened up to let us through. The driveway, which was lined with marble statues, carried up to a house with three wings that overlooked a lake, which had a yacht and another small boat bobbing in the waves. I could see a helicopter on the roof, and I could just tell that there was a pool house around the back. Maybe even a tennis court. One man was out front trimming the edges, while a few security guards were milling around to keep any intruders out and another man was cleaning the fountain that was in the middle at the end of the driveway. "And I thought the house yesterday was too much." Jasper laughed "Hmm. I think I need to splurge more." Someone came to open the door of the Audi for us, then asked for the key. I glanced at Jasper, who was smiling. Obviously loving all this. We got to the front door, and were greeted by a butler and two maids.
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO A House?
Jasper was being mysterious about where we were going. Ever since we got the DNA results yesterday, he had been acting strange. "So, where are we going again?" I asked, trying at another attempt to get him to tell him where we are driving to."It's a secret." He mumbled.I gave him a side eye, trying to access him to see if I could figure out what was going on by reading his face. But he had a blank expression."I'm nervous about speaking with Otis tomorrow," I said, trying to break the tension I was feeling."You'll be fine." Was all he said.I remained silent after that, wondering if I had done something wrong.Jasper continued driving until we left the city, getting to the more residential part of where they had well-kept houses, three-story houses with pools, and manicured lawns. Kids were out playing basketball in their yards, riding their bicycles are just playing around in the streets. The place looked like wealth, and smelt like men and women who went to ivy league colleges.
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO The results are in
The first thing I was greeted with the next day were tabloids with my face plastered all over them.'Who is she?''Who is Jordan Sanders?''Jasper's girlfriend?'It was all about me, on TMZ, The ShadeRoom and Twitter.But there were two specific posts that got everybody talking the most.The first post was about me being the secret love child to Otis Lewis. They even had pictures of me from last night's event. They were trying to piece together the timeline to figure out when I was born, and who my mother was. Since I'm none of his wife's children, they knew that he had cheated on one of them.The second one was them wondering who the father of my child was, Cameron or Jasper. Because someone leaked that I was planning on doing or have already done a DNA test on my unborn baby.Which just pissed me off, because this is something personal and I couldn't think of anyone who would do this. Cooper would never, and the only suspects I had would be either Andy or one of those doctor's I hav
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Meeting Otis Lewis
"No sir, my name is Jordan Sanders," I told him.Otis chuckled. "Please, there is no need to call my sir. Either Otis or Mr Lewis would be fine. Now, care to tell me why you look like my daughter. Did she pay you to be her double?""No s- Otis. Is there something where we can talk privately?" I asked.He narrowed his eyes at me. "What happened to my daughter?"I looked to Jasper for help."Otis, I think we need to discuss this in a more private place." Jasper told him.Otis made a gesture, then three men came walking over to us. I moved closer to Jasper, thinking that they would throw us out. But instead, Otis walked over to where a red door was.He made a sign for us to enter first.Two of his guards stayed outside to stand guard, while another who looked meaner than the others was inside the spacious room with us."Now, what do you two want? Clearly this isn't for business.""I- I…" I didn't know what to say or how to begin."If my daughter is involved in this, just let me know how
