Who is she" Lola asked as she took a sip of her soda
“Where did you learn to fight like that” Audrey countered“Don't Change the topic Audrey who is she" Lola asked again“Well let's just say she has been asking me out for sometime now" Audrey said embarrassed“And do you like her"“Of course not” Andrey said“Good . . . why did you have to throw her out she is a woman you know” Lola continued“Well for starters she has been trying to seduce me even though I made my mind clear so of course there was no need to be polite”“Ok since you don’t like her I’ve nothing to be bothered about. Just don't push her next time”"Thats rich coming from you remembering what you did like 10 mins ago... Lola promise me something”“I promise as long as it is within my abilities”“Don’t tell Selena anything that happened here today”“Why shouldn’t I “Lola inquired she wasn't planning on telling but now she wanted to know why“Just don’t“ Andrey said“If you don’t tell me I might just end up telling on you”Andrey thought for a moment before replying“Whatever I say is a secret between the both of us” Lola nodded her head eagerly like a rattle drum“I have feelings for Selena” Lola looked wide eyed at Andrey she hadn’t expected this reply“Since when” Lola said feigning calmness meanwhile the gears were moving in her head.“Since I knew you both” Andrey replied feeling mire nervous seeing Lola's eager expression.“Why don’t you confess to her” Lola asked already imagining their wedding in her mind.“I haven’t completed my studies I don’t want her feeling like a second choice. I still need to complete the requirements set by my parents to claim the inheritance in a nutshell I’m not going to be able to give her my complete attention”“I also want to give her a stable and enjoyable life she deserves. She deserves everything good and I'll not deny her that in any way”“You had better be fast and confess to her if not don’t be disappointed if she gets snatched from you”“That won’t happen because I have you and you have to fight with me for my success” Audrey said but he knew she was right.“Now on a more serious note when and where did you learn to fight like that” Andrey said frowningLola pretended not to hear and continued drinking her soda“Don’t think keeping quiet will help you who taught you to fight like that” he repeated“Fine it was Felix”“Felix my brother?” he asked“Yes” Lola said“Lola I’ve told you to stay away from him......”“He is a bad influence on you” Lola mimicked not giving him the chance to finish his sentence“What if you had killed Carla Today?”“Well good news I didn’t by the way please don’t go to confront Felix I am the one who convinced him to teach me”“Fine” Andre said resignedly“I’ll be leaving someone is waiting for me” Lola said“Ok”Audrey escorted her to the parking lot fearing that she would encounter Carla againWhen the elevator stooped at the parking lot and they stepped out he handed her the spare keys to his apartment saying she could stay whenever she wanted to before she left him.When Lola got into the car Daniel was looking at his phone“Well that was fast” he said sarcastically“I’m sorry for wasting your time it was not intentional” she replied with guilt in her voiceDaniel raised his head up the sight he saw shocked him. There was an obvious red mark on her face. Lola had almost forgotten the mark on her face after her discussion with Audrey she was more concerned with her aching scalp. She wouldn't be surprised if she found some haur missing in that area of her scalp.“Lola did I offend you in anyway in this life or the previous one” Daniel asked his voice full of grievances. She was not a child yet she was gone for Less than half an hour and she came back with a red face. "Of course not” Lola said not understanding what he was talking about."What am I going to tell the young master happened to you""Why do you have to tell him anything?" Lola sassed "..... I'm sorry"She thought of all this as funny. She was the one who was hurt but still the one apologising. Besides the young master wouldn't care about such measly things. He wouldn't even notice in the first place. She secretly felt like he would be happy to see her hurt.“How do I explain to the young master” he asked“The young master said he would not be back today besides I can cover it with makeup till it heals” Lola said tacticallyDaniel sighed and drove to the Villa continously stealing glances at her red cheekLola was silent she looked out the window as she thought of Andrews feeling for Selena wandering if Selena had somewhat similar feeling. She wouldn't be surprisedifher sister did. Audrey was a really nice guy.To her Andrey was the perfect man for Selena but it was not up to her to decide. She thought of what it would be like to see them togetherShe remembered that Andrew was friends with Selena before he became her friend. She and Selena were given scholarship to that high school. They only had to pay for the books and uniform but the school was for the rich and not average rich the really rich type. Both of them had been bullied it was Andrew who always stood by them then she hadn't known he had a brother. Life was unpleasant through out their stay in that school. The only bright side for the two girls was the fact that they had friends at least two. She still shuddered at the memories of her first week in that school.During one of those days at school she was walking at the back of the school Hall. Then some students from her class decided to pick on her. she had always had a vicious tongue but lacked in strength.They were about to beat her up when the boy came to her defence. A fight ensued between both sides because the boy defended her. although he was strong he was outnumbered. Lola could not do anything to help him but call a teacher. tThe other boys were suspended she found out that that boy was Felix and he was a year ahead of her in class. She had struggled a lot to get that amount of information out of them.For the next week she kept looking for him in his class. That was until she heard that he had been grounded by his parents. They believed he was the one who instigated the fight. Lola managed to get his address. The next day immediately after school hours she went to his house. Luckily his parents were at home when the Butler told them that the fellow student of Felix wanted to
Earlier in Valerio's officeAn hour later. Valerio rushed into his office he saw Hayden sitting on the sofa casually smoking a cancer stick."He he I heard you were here and I rushed back immediately because I knew it would be important So what is the situation" Valerio said sitting opposite him"Are you clearheaded and sober" Hayden asked" what do you mean by that who gets drunk by this time of the day knowing fully well he's going to work" Valerio said feigning indignation "Nobody but you Valerio.... just you" Hayden said his gaze accusatory. "That only happened once" Valerio defended Hayden looked at him with a raised eye brow"Okay twice" Valerio continued but Hayden kept staring at him"Fine at the moment I am as clearheaded and Sober as I can be" Valerio said pouring himself a Cup of water"Well I have a question" Hayden said pondering how to put his question in the right way."go on" value say drinking his water"How do I explain these emotions" Hayden asked calmly looking a
♡♡♡♡♡♡"Lola we don't have time he already asked the housekeeper for you" the maid said flustered Lola Decided to let her hair down to cover her face then followed the maid. She was panicking why did he ask for her specifically though she was his personal maid but still. That man hated her so nothing good could actually come from him specifically asking for her.In the living room Hayden sat on the couch while the housekeeper stood by the side"Where is she" Hayden asked "Young master I already sent someone to call her maybe she's asleep since you said you won't be coming today" the housekeeper replied earning himself a glare. What was wrong with him today. why did he say he won't be coming back today. anyway it was not a lie he had no intentions of returning but came to spy on her to know when she returned who knew she will return with A swollen faceLola and the maid went the living room her long hair was covering her face. If he hadn't seen her before he wouldn't notice that she
"Young master dinner is served" it was Lola job to call him down for meals but he wasn't sure of her predicament. "Bring it to my room. Make the serving for two people"Hayden said Lola started counting to pass time after sometime someone knocked again."Young master it's here""Bring it in" Hayden said Lola kept her head lowered. The chefs walked in followed by the housekeeper and Aaron while pushing in a food cart.The chefs immediately started serving the dishes for two. When they were done he stood by the side with the housekeeper and Aaron. Hayden understood that Lola was uncomfortable so he sent them all out.Lola was not hungry so she couldn't understand why he asked them to serve for 2"Lola you can eat" He said"I already had dinner""At least taste the turkey" Hayden said Hayden decide to help her cut the turkey. He gently took her cutlery when he was done cutting the turkey for her he used her cutlery to eat. Lola was surprised but he didn't seem to care. Lola decided
The next morning immediately the alarm⁷ went off Lola frowned she turned to the other side and covered her head with a pillow. The alarm sounded once more this time more like the honking of a ship. Lola threw the pillow to the side. She stood up from the bed feeling vexed. Anyways she only had herself to blame for the disturbance.She took her bath hurriedly. She wore one of her tank tips and a loose shorts.She decided to lie on the bed for sometime promising herself not to fall asleep. Just as she was indulging herself and almost fell asleep her phone rang.It was Omar so she picked it.~Where are you? It's already 6:05~I'm coming Lola mumbled hung up the call then dragged her sleepy body outside to the servant quartersWhen she arrived she saw Omar leaning against the wall going through his phone.When he saw her he yawned and said"Welcome my lady this humble official has been awaiting your arrival for the past 10 minutes"Lola merely pouted and flicked her hand "Morning" she sa
Hayden put on his clothes and called Valerio."Hello Hayden how come you are calling" Valerio "Let's go somewhere" Hayden"Where, when, why" Valerio"Anywhere you want, now and for fun"Valerio shuddered when he heard Hayden say fun. Once it would have sounded normal but now it was different. He decided to use this opportunity to take the Diamond VIP membership card for the Affinity night life club.They only had one and it was already acquired by Hayden who barely used it."I'm waiting Valerio" Hayden said sounding impatient"Let's go to the affinity nightlife club" Valerio said hurriedly afraid Hayden would change his mind"Fine" Hayden said He dressed up the only thing that wasn't black was his watch which was silverWhen he went down he told Aaron to tell Lol a he would be back later with company though he already informed the house keeper. He then walked to the garage with the keys of the black PorscheHe immediately got in and drove to the affinity nightlife club. When he rea
He brought out a bank card and gave it to her before continuing " Go to the Phoenix mall they will be expecting you. You are to purchase not less than 30 cooperate clothes including bags and shoes""Why?? I mean.. its not in my work description that I have to work outside the mansion.""The pin is your birth year and you will be exercising with me in my personal gym on the 3rd floor by 6:00am on weekdays and we can go jogging on Saturdays" Hayden continued not answering her"I will not follow you to your office" Lola said loudly to stop him what did this man want exactly. She was totally satisfied with just staying in the villa. She now lived for the moments when he was away."Your contract clearly states that you are to see to my care" who is going to help me when I need something in the office. Lola looked at the man who just invaded her privacy and now wanted her to be around him all day. "If I am at your company all day I'll not be able to efficiently clean your room, study and
When she pressed the bell at the door uncle Wilson the butler came out. He smiled when he saw her.“Good morning Uncle Wilson” she greeted smiling“Good morning Lola you finally came we all miss you"“That’s because I’m a good girl. Are aunt and uncle home?” Lola asked“Your uncle had some business to take care of at work but your aunt is at the pool side“Ok how is Jane it’s been a long time since I last saw her”“She is well only that she barely has time to herself because of her job” uncle Wilson said we a tired sigh and a proud smile. “Okay I’ll go see Aunt Nina. Tell Jane I said hi” Lola said before going to the swimming pool on the side of the mansion. She was truly familiar with this place. They were rich not as rich as the William’s family but they were rich enough.She and Selena had come to take this family as their second family. Aunt Nina and Uncle Maxwell had even paid for the flat they lived in both the electricity bill and others.She was truly grateful to them. Felix
Hayden stood the twins beside him. They were already 12 years old and today on their birthday they had asked to see their mom as a birthday present instead. At first he had thought against it but it was high time he stopped lying to them about her whereabouts. Hayden stared around the field of different flowers before landing his gaze on the grave. He explained to them the things they needed to know. He held Shayna as she sobbed. Shayne ran back to the car not Waiting for anything. After directing Daniel to take them to Selena he sat beside the grave."Hi... I finally brought the kids thought it was time they knew their mom.... I miss you." Hayden didn't say any thing more. He didn't know what to say. He always never knew what to say when he visited. He could never get it out of his mind that she died so young because of him. Selena and her mom never said anything but he knew they blamed him and they had every right to.He instead devoted all his time to taking care of his childre
The ball room was buzzing with discussion being thrown around. It was Hayden and Lola's engagement dinner only family was invited. Lola had reconciled both families and though 50% of both families wealth were shared equally between her and Selena they planned on keeping the shares. Selena was already being taught by a private tutor on buisness management and other things that involved managing her shares with Andrey helping her. Lola's training would start after she had given birth and was strong enough, Hayden's immediate family and aunt Bella’s family with his grandfather. Lola's immediate family, her maternal and paternal grandmother, Jacob, his sister and mother. Andrey, Felix and their parents. Jane and her parents. And Valerio, his grandfather, his mother, and her sister and husband. They were all seated around. Hayden stood up to give his toast. "Thank you all for being present. Everyone seated at this table is family. I want us all to toast to this beautiful woman seated
Hayden talked to the captain of the medium sized ship they were after confirming the information he needed he went back to the deck. Chris was leaned against the rail throwing up. "Pussy" Hayden taunted before moving to leave. "What did you say" Chris asked after heaving for a while. "Just that you are a fucking weak boy" Hayden said stepping closer his entire body itching for someone to beat up."Ok cut it out boys I get it momma's not around so everyone wants to flex muscles but y'all hold on till we actually save her we can always find a boxing ring for you both to spar" Felix said stepping between both men Hayden huffed walking away while Chris leaned against the railibg once more vomiting what was left in his stomach. "Isn't it ironic that you own a lot of sea boats but you are sea sick" Jane said feeling free to talk to who ever she pleased as Valerio wasn't present. "Didn't know you spoke anymore" Felix replied handing Chris a bottle of water. "What do you mean?" Jane
"Diego please, I really need to pee" Lola cried for the umpteenth time not sure Diego could even hear her she had been in the room for no less than 12 hours without any food or water buy at the moment her need to pee superceded her need for food and her dry throat which she had tried over and over to moisturise with her saliva. "I'm sorry I really am. Please come remove this cuff I really need to go now. Please..." She couldn't call out loud enough trying to save her energy cause who knew when Diego would allow her eat.The door opened just then and Diego stood there without saying a word he released her from the cuffs. Lola quietly made her way to the toilet with tired feet. ***** 2am that morning..... The door opened quietly Lola jolted when she felt someone tap her awake from her sleep. Expecting to see Diego she was surprised that instead it was someone else she couldn't see but she was sure she knew that voice. Diego had finally listened to her pleas to remove the cuffs so sh
Lola threw the phone at the shower wall with all her might smashing it as water from the shower head fell down on it. Diego tried to save his phone but it was entirely impossible. "I told you not to fucking test me" Diego said landing a slap against her cheeks. Lola gasped spitting out blood using her tongue to feel her tooth which was loose as a result of the impact from his ring. "I didn't do anything wrong" Lola replied her tears threatening to fall. "You didn't do anything wrong!!! Then how do you explain my smashed phone under the shower." "I just wanted to call my sister to let her know I'm alive and I love her" Lola quickly explained her self even though she knew it was pointless. "And why would you do that. Do you know how much effort I put into faking your death." "You know what you've been a real bitch lately and it seems it's because I keep tolerating. It's time I show you what you are looking for" with this Diego stopped screaming and pulled her out of the bathroom.
Lola walked around the mansion not sure what she was even looking for the last thing on her mind was escaping. The only time she tried to escape Diego had taken her on a ride she watched the people on the streets who carried one weapon on the other some trading on different things she was sure wasn't legal. They came to the end of the ride and Lola looked at the large expansion of waters realizing they were on an island. "Don't ever think about escaping again" she remembered that was all he said to her. Escaping was out of the question she would be caught before she left the mansion grounds. And even if she passed the mansion grounds. The streets wasn't a bit safe and there was no way she could leave this Island on her own she didn't even know what country this island was located nearest to. The only escape was of she could sneak on a ship or yacht that had come once to the island. She had binoculars in her room the used to spy on the outside world. At least she learnt something in
Lola opened her eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light in the room. She felt warm covers littered at different sides of the bed she was laid on. The room smelt different. Lola quickly sat up remembering everything that happened she glanced around the strange environment. Looking out the window that had iron bars she wandered who abducted her and why. She didn't have to think long as the door opened and a Young man walked in stopping at the door. Lola could only think on how the man in front of her felt familiar. "I'm gonna give you space tigress heard you put up quite the fight." Lola scoffed in her mind refusing to talk first. He would explain first before she would decide what to do." Giving me the silent treatment already well I'll introduce myself maybe that will break the ice""The name is Diego." Lola waited for him to continue but the man as stared at her still."Who changed my clothes" Lola asked suddenly feeling insecure of any one seeing her body which was changing w
Lola checked her appearance in the mirror once more touching her make up. "So are you really planning on giving him a second chance?" Selena asked flipping through the fashion magazine the most recent release. "Yes" Lola said quietly putting on her ear rings. Selena didn't say anything. She had a different opinion of Hayden but since Lola was giving him a second chance all she could do now was try her best to protect Lola in whatever way she could. The door bell rang and Lola's eyes quickly landed on the wall clock he was 5 minutes early. Selena knew who was at the door so she refused to make her way out to get the door. They soon heard the main door open and their mom conversing with someone. That baritone voice was etched in Lola’s memory. She could surely identify that voice any where She walked out to the living room all of a sudden shy when she saw Hayden staring at her his eyes taking in her appearance fully. "You look gorgeous" Hayden complimented Lola smiled slightly as
The people in their living room slowly left after Felicia explained to them that the girls weren't interested in taking sides in their fight with the Lucians. They didn't take it well at first but left in a hurry after Jacob came back and spilled the truth. The two families were only after them because of a pact made by their grandfathers on their death beds. When Justin's sibling was found half the wealth of both families would be given to who ever it was. It was their way of asking for forgiveness from them. Justin had already confirmed the blood relation of Selena and Lola to his self they were his sisters. News had gotten to them and it was only a matter of time before their grand fathers lawyers heard about it. In a nutshell they weren't here to create bonds as family but to try their best to profit from the girls. Now Hayden sat by the side with everyone's gaze on him. Lola was currently sleeping in her room. "It's late why don't we head out" Felix said to Hayden politely te
