Amber, Mia and Isabella sit on the bare tile in the living room with different facial expressions, Amber looks confuse, Mia looks sad and, Isabella looks happy - all for different reasons."So?" Isabella clears her throat awkwardly."I'm not a good friend" Amber said steadily."Don't say that" Mia disagrees."I didn't advise you rightly, Lucas is right" Amber said."Don't mention that jerk" Mia said in provocation."Stop the job and save your relationship" Amber said bluntly."Relationship my ass, I have sisters" Mia said as they continue talking and staring blankly at the television while Isabella watch them, clueless."Mia"."Amber" they sadly turn to themselves."Listen to me and stop the work" Amber informs politely."They pay is dope and I have to pay our rent" Mia complained."Bella and I are working and then I can find a spot for you in Chase bank" Amber tries to convince in vivid tone."What if I say I admire my current job?" Mia questioned rhetorically."Then you will be lyin
With pronouncement of life imprisonment, it is divided into two parts. The part whereby the prisoners wash lot of clothes, rusted dishes, break thick bricks with diggers, sweep the prison yard, paint the inner yards and many prisoner's punishment but the rigid and hard part is a situation whereby a romantic couple are separated and locked in different cells - the couple could see each other but are restricted to touch each other or do anything. Others may say they are the luckiest but to them, the punishment is worse than death.Noah's hair and side beards have overgrown, he look unkempt and weak and as for Olivia her hair has tangled and she looks rough, her face has become darker and her lips were pale and broken.As if they are being remote(d) by same force - they walk sluggishly toward the tall welder iron gate that blocked their path but luckily there was a small box-like hole on the wall that permits them to see each other slightly thus they lean on the iron exhaling deeply like
AUTHOR QUOTE:Keep shut and let your success speak.Tomorrow plan is inevitable to guess.Mia sit on the soggy chair in a small orange painted room, the walls were covered with her pictures and that of the old models picture frame, far by her sides are ambassador Summer, Drake and her core sponsor."The contract worth five hundred thousand dollars every scene and you will be performing in six scenes" Mia's core sponsor halts."Do you know how much that is?" he adds in anxiously."I'm not interested in any sex scenes, I have a boyfriend and I will not want to ruin my relationship" Mia informed vividly."Who cares about that in the industry?" Ambassador Summer snorts annoyingly."Besides I stated in the contract not to accept any job offer concerning sex" Mia reminds."Miss. Mia, every industries care more about money, how should we aid you when you continue rejecting money calling jobs?" Her core sponsor ask, frustrated."But I'm doing fine with modelling for other brands, do I need to
The bedroom radio plays announcing recent city updates and after a soft knock on the door, Lucas lowers the volume and advances to the door. His bedroom was messy as he seems to be rearranging his dusty bookshelves and adding more books as few cartons were lying on the floor, his bed sheet was squeezed making the bed look unpleasantly untidy.Lucas opened the door with force and at the sight of the feminine figure before him, he sighs annoyingly and beckons to lock the door but she stops him - putting her manicured hand on the lock with a dole face thus Lucas didn’t fight back. He sighed and left the door open and walked back to his bedroom keeping a straight face.Mia exhales deeply with a small smile on her face and closes the door, then she skeptically walks straight into his mess of a bedroom.“Can I come in?” she asked with a seductive voice with one leg already in the room. She leaned beside the door waiting for his response and he nodded, lifting his eyes away from the dusty bo
Isabella shrugs exhaustively as she reaches to the counter, placing the tray on it.“What's up?” her colleague, Nina asked, staring at her tired face.“Triple orders.” Isabella said, giving Nina the list and after glancing through it, she started preparing the orders while Isabella leaned on the counter patiently waiting.Walking around the tables where some patrons are seated, she gently placed their orders with a small smile on her face as she also used the medium to clear off the empty trash on the table before leaving back to the counter.“Excuse me.” an old lady in a far distance calls with a silky voice, one doesn’t need to be told that she was old as gray hair has already covered her hair and appeared on her eyebrows making it obvious.Isabella approached the lady and greeted politely.“Oh yes, my darling.” the old lady drops her large iPad that she was operating and lift her gaze at Isabella.“I feel hungry all of a sudden.” she said cowardly and Isabella smirked.“What can I
The busy and bustling cool city of Albany, at the far end of the bypass, Isabella walks on the path that has been lightened up by tall city lights. The cool evening breeze flushes on her warm make-up face as she exhales softly in relief, she has made it to day three after avoiding the mentally disordered old lady for the third time.Isabella’s leg starts wobbling because of constant standing during working hours, she feels like sitting down and taking a deep breath but the street bench is still far from her.Stumbling on a tiny stone on the gravel street, Isabella staggers and spins, aiming to fall but a strong stout arm catches her before she reaches the ground, her vision goes unclear for a second.“James…” she whispered faintly as the cool music “I Know You by Skylar Grey” begins playing in the background.Isabella drinks the bottle water heartily on the bench that she is sitting with James as she sighed.“You had a long day, I guess.” he figured with a loving voice.“A horrible on
Chase bank is always bubbling with several official activities. Mia sits on a wooden-like metal chair and far across her is Mr. Park. The room they are occupying is a mini-vast empty room occasionally used for interviews and it’s well painted with light gray.“You are so lucky. Mr. Liam has already stopped recruiting.” Park informs her, sounding as if he wasn’t pleased about the turn ups.“At least he listened to the lady he claims never to have feelings for.” she snorts annoyingly and Park smirks.“Let’s move along.” He adjusted his seat.“Mr. Liam asked me to give you the right to choose any position you feel you can perfectly fit into.” he informs her politely.“I think I would love to become the Chief Executive Officer, so he would become broken and listen to my dear sister’s heart cry.” she said bluntly with her tone filled with sarcasm, he shakes his head in disbelief.“You should at least respect him for one reason.” he said seriously.“Which is?” She raised a bro looking unint
A club without music is an? This riddles will be left incomplete but a clubbing with Liam is expected to be “Hay, Hay,and Hay.” as Mia would say.The description of the bar was too twisted and enchanting but the Fuze box night club was full of life as crowd yells in excitement, drink drunkenly, dance crazily and make friends abruptly.The constant changing club lights continues blinking thereby giving light to the club in bits. The table is having both empty and full tumblers with Grand Master, Flirt, Vodka, Tequila and numerous alcoholic drinks, Amber hits the tumbler hardly on the table as the light flickers on their faces, she grits her teeth.“This is a very good news, Mia. I can’t wait to be your Chief Bride’s Maid.” as she speaks, she impatiently turn the liquor into the small tumbler and gulp it up immediately. She gradually become tipsy.“Okay girl, calm down and thanks.” Mia tries to stop her from drinking much that she can’t hold but she resist, remaining adamant.“Lucas, ma
Logan was disturbed all through my pregnancy until it was time for delivery.I was rushed to the hospital by my family and as funny as our relationship was, all my friends were impatiently waiting at the emergency ward for an update.I was laid up on the bed and asked to spread my leg wide open. Logan had his reason and asked that I was being attended to by a female doctor.I know it’s unpredictable but I would have been ashamed to do as instructed if it were a male doctor.The whole series went smoothly. I felt pain at every surge I did in order to push my baby out.“The head is out!” One of the nurses notified and it gingered the doctor, they started urging me to push which I did seriously.It was as if a pop was hanging, I wanted to let it all out. Beads of sweat covered my forehead as I fought the tough fight of motherhood.An hour later, I woke up to the cry of a baby. The nurse approached me with the baby that had already been cleaned by methylated spirits, he was wrapped in t
“Yay!” We clinked the glass together as cheers filtered in the air.“So, Mia, you said you are pregnant?” I asked, staring at her intently.“Right. It was meant to be a secret! Lucas.” She lovingly scolded Lucas and we laughed.“Oh don’t beat him, it's good news.” Bella nodded and I agreed with her.“Well, I wanted you to give birth first though so our children would have a certain age gap to date.” Mia wiggled her brow, she had always been sarcastic.“You are silly.” I laughed heartily. “Grow up Mia, you ain’t getting younger.” I teased her.“She never changes and I love her.” Surprisingly, Isabella sided with her.Suddenly, we realize that we have been focusing on just ourselves and had forgotten about our husbands and Reina thus we stopped, staring at them.”Well, the stage has been changed.” We started eating as if we didn’t know what we did.“I enjoy your company, honestly.” Reina broke the silence. “Liam, can you keep bringing me to them? I would love to be part of their zone.”
The kind of joy I got in my heart was irreplaceable especially after the result of my pregnancy and the chase of Chi-saun. Finally, I was given the entire attention.I felt so bad for her though. After all the pride and confidence she had placed on the baby, it was all for loss.It has been a month yet no one has forgotten about such painful experiences and news. Chi-saun already left the mansion after her divorce thus I was finally Logan’s only wife which gave me nothing but happiness.I have never loved sharing my favorite things.I sluggishly walked into the dinning room for breakfast and met my mother-in-law and Ruby. They were setting the dishes and arranging the plates.“Good morning, Miss. Amber.” Ruby smiled as she went back into the kitchen.“You are awake.” My mother-in-law said suddenly and I stopped, facing her.It was as if I had heard something wrongly. I cleaned my ear and looked at her.“How was your night?” She made a comeback, keeping a bright smile.I was marveled a
It wasn’t like I was anxious about her health or something but I wanted to reach the end of the deal as I had promised her father, the deal that I showered love to his daughter until she delivers.My mother and mother-in-law, including Amber, followed me to the hospital to visit Chi-saun. Since last night, she has been in the ER and none of the doctors were out.My mother couldn’t stop panicking and biting her fingers, she had developed a fondness for Chi-saun that couldn’t be forgotten overnight.I had business calls coming in but I reluctantly ignored them to finalize with the matter at hand.“How did this happen?” I heard Amber asking my mother out of concern but my mother gave her a cold shoulder.“We were all at home when she started crying out, she said her abdomen was in serious pain.” My mother-in-law explained sadly and Amber shook her head sadly.“Abdomen pain during pregnancy? That’s painful.” Amber mumbled.After a few hours of waiting in the waiting area, a doctor approac
The following morning, my mother had already prepared my breakfast and the same goes for Chi-saun. It was as if the both mothers were trying to make their desired daughter happy and also compete between themselves.“Mum, I can do all these myself.” I frowned as I wolfed the noodles she made that morning, it wasn’t even up to my satisfaction. It was as if there were more worms dining with me at each bite.I never knew a four to five month pregnancy would turn one into a food hunter. I salivated and faced Ruby.“Can you make me another plate?” I squeezed out a smile with my eyes urging her.Ruby made the first step, approaching the kitchen when my mother-in-law stopped her.“Stop right there. Have you forgotten what Chi-saun sent you?” She fired in annoyance.“Ma’am?” Ruby looked clueless.“I asked you to bring the duvet from my room, I feel cold.” Chi-saun said, fringing a baby-ish low voice and I snorted.“I can make some myself.” I stood up from the chair and went over to the kitchen
Three months later, Isabella successfully married her heartthrob, James and they moved into the mansion that was bought by Mr. Chase Jamie.Everyone was slowly adapting to the nature of change but Logan’s family won’t just accept things the way they came.As my baby bump came up, so did Chi-saun though her laziness ranked more than mine as she was always sending maids errands every second. In a week, we have employed three batches of maids because none of them could stand the pressure coming from her.“Amber, are you alright?” My mother approached me and supported me as I came down the stairs.Liam reluctantly gave me some months off which gave me no room for escaping from the troubles at home.“I’m fine. Just a bit thirsty.” I sighed heavily as I gradually sat on the armchair.“Let me get water for you.” She quickly rushed to the kitchen before I could stop her.“This woman…” I rubbed my forehead and relaxed on the armchair.Soon, Chi-saun came downstairs with my mother-in-law. As us
I guessed she must have felt uncomfortable visiting the same family which she thought would be her final destination in the marital aspect.We all sat down in the living room, staring at each other; patiently waiting for the elders to make the first move.“Mum…” James nudged my mother who was still engrossed in Amber's presence, I guess she was already wishing it was us - coming to see them to become a married couple.“Madam Smith.” My mother’s voice finally came up.“My son told me about the beautiful flower he spotted in your garden.” She continued and my father cleared his throat.“That’s my line.” He said sarcastically and we all laughed.“Anyway, my son is interested in your daughter and I assume you know what that means?” My mother raised a brow and Amber’s mother nodded.“Yes. I know James is a good man.” She sighed. “As long as he can take care of my daughter and make her happy, I have no problem.” She said conclusively.“Be rest assured, mother.” James was the most shy and im
Unlike how I presumed the date to be like, it was the complete opposite. Reina and Logan made sure Liam and I were comfortable. We discussed something farther away from our lives and by the time we realized it, none of us were willing to discuss our personal life.It was great that I wished time never flew as it did. The meal and the time spent with Liam and Reina was worth it.Who would have thought that Liam will settle with a woman like her. Cheerful, compassionate, and jovial. There was no boring moment with her as we were talking every second.Yeah, I felt a little thrown at the edge by the way Liam lauded her but fortunately, there was Logan who was beside me; caressing and making sure I didn’t feel empty or jealous.There was nothing to feel jealous about.I held Logan’s arm and leaned on his chest as we walked into the main living room. It was already late and we weren’t planning on seeing anyone but that was where I got the whole thing wrong.“Amber.” My mother called out to
I walked into the room and placed my hand on my stomach. The doctor's words were still surprising me.“I’m pregnant.” I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief. I wasn’t expecting such news not now and never.Thinking back to the previous, I wasn’t expecting my mother to come today since I just heard the news. There would be a lot of pressure with my mother-in-law and mother on one roof and I must be prepared for some actions.I know my mother so well and she was not the type that visits without a heads up, I think she already knows that something is going on and I don’t want her to get on the bad side of Logan.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and it pulled open. I turned around and it was my mother, I swallowed and kept on a strong facade.“Mom.” She approached me, squeezing out a bright smile with all her wrinkles folding up.It dawned on me that my mother was getting old.“What are you doing here?” I asked, she grabbed my hands and cupped them into hers.“I have heard everyth
