MARK’S POV

I was in the living room with my phone pressed against my right ear.

The one I was calling eventually answered her call after trying countless times.

“Emily—”

“I told you not to call me again.”

“I’m sorry about how I reacted when you told me the news.”

“The news?” She snorted, “Mark, what are you talking about?”

“The pregnancy, our pregnancy.”

“You now refer to it as ‘our pregnancy ’?” She paused, “What changed?”

I swallowed hard and looked down in embarrassment even though she wasn't there.

“I guess I was taken aback a little bit. You know the nature of our relationship.”

“I heard your grandfather's will has been pronounced. Is that why you want my baby and me?”

“Nooo—not at all. I just want to do the right thing.”

“The right thing, huh?”

“You know what? Why don't we sit and talk about our future?” I smiled.

“No. I don't want to see you." She ended the call.

“That bitch, how'd she know about the Will?”

“If you continue like this, you'd never take the compan

    RAYMOND’S POV I pulled a chair for myself, and plopped into it with care. She pulled the one across for herself, and was about to put her sizeable ass on it when I stopped her. “What are you trying to do?” I asked. She stopped in her tracks, her butt hanging mid-air. “Sit?” “Get up” I instructed in a cool, yet hostile tone. “You should have done better with your appearance if you wanted a seat next to me” Her brows furrowed, and her forehead creased in what I presumed to be confusion. “As you know, the pregnancy turned out to be mine” “What has that got to do with this?” “You don't talk Until I'm done” I looked at her with visible disdain. “And just as I promised, we will be getting married ” I continued. “I don't understand ” Her tired eyes glanced at me. “What is it you don't understand?” “How can we get married when you have a fiance? Besides, we barely know each other. We aren't even in love” I pinched my nose to resist the laughter struggling to burst out of my stom

    POLLEN'S POV “You will give me a billion dollars if I stick to the rules and birth the baby?” I screamed, holding my mouth at the huge amount I just mentioned. “What? Not enough?” He asked. “Be a good girl, and I'll make it a billionaire and half” He added. Be a good girl? Dear God, how did such a reckless fool amassed so much wealth? “What the hell are you talking about? How can you carelessly throw money around when thousands of people are suffering out there?” “Huh?” His eyes slitted , in what I could tell was utter disbelief. I bet he realised I wasn't some gold digger who purposely got pregnant just to rip him off like he thought. “I am not going to marry you no matter how much you offer” I said sternly, and got off my chair. “You think I'm some cheap commodity you can acquire at the swipe of your card?” I asked while standing over him. But I wasn't tall enough to exude the dominance I wanted to have over him.I was just a 5'5ft, while he was a freaking 6'3ft. “You migh

    MARK’S POV “Let me take you home” I offered. “No, thanks” Emily declined, and increased her pace towards the elevator. “It’s pretty late, Emily. I will be restless if I don't take you home” I insisted. “Why don't you leave me the fuck alone, and take her instead!” She yelled. “Her? Who? What are you talking about?” “Mark, I’ve had enough of your disrespect. Just leave me alone” She retorted with disgust. “I honestly don't know what you are talking about” My frustration was growing, but Emily didn't give a hoot. “The lady with your cousin. You said you were going to clean her up and smash her, didn't you?” Her voice had turned from annoyed to accusatory, and jealous. I had to laugh. “You're fucking disgusting, Mark” She hissed and entered the elevator before I could say anything else. I followed her, still laughing. “I can't believe you still have that in your head. I was only joking”. “Whatever” She dismissed, and pressed a button. “Why are you even being jealous? This is u

    POLLEN'S POVMy gaze was fixated on the papers in my hands as tears freely seeped down my eyes. One of them was another rejection letter I found in the mail when I returned from the Beckham's, the other was the marriage contract. I didn't want to believe it could get this bad, but the papers were staring right back at me, a glaring evidence that everything I badly wished wasn't happening was my new reality. I wasn't a good writer, at the same time, pregnant.I squeezed the contract I was supposed to sign angrily and tossed it in my bag, then neatly folded the rejection letter and added it to the collection. My eyes were very blurry from crying, so I went to the bathroom to wash them before heading towards the door. But I stood there as a series of events from the last time I had an altercation with my mother over the blind date fluttered in my head.FLASH BACK:That night, my mother was coming out of her room when I stepped out of mine.“ We need to talk” I said to her, but she threw

    Raymond’s POV I had just finished from the office when it came to my realization that I was supposed to be meeting up with Little Miss Pollen. "Is she still not taking her calls? " I asked Ken, from where I was comfortably sitting; at the back seat of the car. "No, Sir " I beat my bottom lip and clench my fist. "Take me to her” “Yes, Sir” "Let's see what is so interesting about her life that made her forget our meeting" I mumbled. I swiped through business news while the journey to her place lasted. The soft hum of the car made me look away from my iPad. We were at our destination; it was my second time in the neighborhood, but I was still very much overwhelmed at the unhealthy state of the environment. As I scanned around, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. The houses in the background are small and unimpressive, with one of them painted in a hideous shade of green. The street is lined with power lines that crisscross the sky, adding to the overall sense of d

    NATASHA'S POV I was sitting in a grand, opulent room that exuded an air of luxury and elegance. The ceiling is a mild pink, adorned with intricate patterns and a large chandelier that hung from the center, it casted a warm glow throughout the hall. The walls were also pink, but they were decorated with gold accents that added to the room's opulence. The room was filled with tables and chairs, all arranged neatly. The tables were covered with pristine white tablecloths, and the chairs were upholstered in a soft, plush fabric. The tables were set with elegant tea cups and jugs, ready for a sophisticated gathering. I reached for the delicate blue tea cup and took a slow sip. “Oh My goodness, Natasha” Latisha exclaimed. Latisha, the bottom one; her face is framed by long, curly brown hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Her makeup is done in a dramatic style, with her eyes accentuated by dark eyeliner and mascara, and her lips painted a subtle pink. She is wearing a light blue dre

    RAYMOND'S POV As I stepped into the grand hall, I was greeted by a long, rectangular table that stretched out before me. The table, as usual, was attentively set with laptops, papers, and a vase filled with white flowers. It added a touch of elegance to the scene. The chairs around the table were of brown leather material, and neatly arranged. Everyone was already seated, and the presentation had begun not long before I pulled in. I could hear the murmur of conversations and the click of a powerpoint presentation in progress. The attendees were engrossed in the discussion, their faces turned towards me immediately I entered and took my place. The one doing the PowerPoint presentation was no other but the effeminate Jazz. He has been in charge of the design sector since I joined the company. "I think the only thing left is to find befitting faces for the runway display " Jazz said. "What about the models we usually use? " Mark, my cousin, asked. "Good question " Jazz smiled broadl

    POLLEN'S POVI walked into the mansion in stealthy quiet footsteps as a cat would do. The servants didn't seem to know what to make of me, as they looked me over with open curiosity and concern before quickly going back to their routine chores without even giving me a second glance. As far as I knew, none of them looked like they wanted someone like me around. Since I didn't know what to say to each of them, as they walked past me, I just waved. Just like you expected, no one reciprocated, until I reached the stairs to God-knows-where - I-was-headed. Then, one of the maids smiled at me and urged me to come with her head, saying quietly. I felt a sense of peace wash over me and took a deep breath before movin5towards her." That's the sector for the Boss" She smiled at me again, when I got to where she was standing." I'm...""

It was the first time his bare skin was touching mine. I never imagined his finger barely touching my lips would send such electrifying waves of desire through my entire body.“I will have you wherever I want and whichever way I want." His hoarse voice ordered, “Now, take that top off.”Without questioning a single word he said, I yanked my top over my head. My boobs fell out with a bounce and pointed directly at him.“Now close your eyes and touch yourself; nothing will turn me on more than seeing you play with yourself.”Like a fool, I shut my eyes and touched myself while he stared and watched.

I couldn’t only hear them, I could feel their eyes on every part of me.Chase. Where was he? Why wasn’t he in class? Is he even in school? It will be a shame if he doesn’t see me in this dress.The class eventually came to an end and everyone started talking aloud.“Oh my God, who would have thought she is this pretty” A girl started.“I know right” the second girl cooed.“We should go and say hi”“Should we?” When I heard that I spring up abruptly and turned to face the entire class, but came face to face with Queen.“A swine will mistake itself for royalty because it was fo

    Laura’s POVChase.His name is Chase.I mean the guy I saw in a class room fucking another girl whom I badly wish I could trade places with.Ever since I saw that incident I haven’t been myself, I had masturbated twice the number of times I usually do, just over the weekend. To make matters worse, it was with no one but Chase. And because of the perverted things I had done with him in my mind, I even feel embarrassed at the thought of bumping into him, even though that was nearly impossible. As I walked through the hallway to my locker that morning, all eyes were on me. If I hadn’t done something else like terminating the air with the fart spray trapped in my locker I would have sworn that someone caught me touching myself while Chase and Amelia, as I got to know was her name after so much digging, had sex. But from the way they held they noses whilst whispering and sniggering, I knew it was the fart spray incident.I exhaled deeply and paused for a second before punching in my new

I was having a phonology class so I stopped by my locker to get the books I would be needing.I punched in the passcode to my locker and it gave me access. I opened the little space where I keep my stuff only to be hit and nearly killed by a pungent smell that nearly sent me to the afterlife.My face scrunched up and I hurriedly used the hen of the big black hoodies I was putting to protect my nose.“Did she just fart?” A student in the hallway asked.It was only then that I was brought back to my surroundings.I spun to look at the person who spoke with frantic eyes, hoping they’ll believe whatever I was going to say.“No, I didn’t. Someone must have trapped fart spray in my locker” I tried to explain.“You think we are stupid don’t you?” Another student asked, her hands covered her nose and her mouth.“Ewwww” More than half of the crowd that had gathered said in a sync.“I swear it’s not me” I w

That’s if I don’t sleep over at Mia’s”“You have to come back tonight. I need to hear everything” She persisted.“Okay Mum”I rushed out of the house as I had only thirty minutes left. Since I no longer use buses, I should be in school before my class starts.The cab guy who has been waiting for a while now was staring at the door when I came out. I walked dismantled the fleet of concrete staircases that spread to pavement where the driver has been waiting.“I’m sorry for keeping you. How much will that cost?”“Seventy-eight bucks, waiting fee inclusive” he said.“Here’s hundred” I gave an additional twenty two dollars.“Thank you” He received it with a smile.

That means I got his own number that day too, something that felt too good to be true. But Mark hasn’t called me as he promised, and it scared me at first. I was even tempted to initiate a call, but that would have automatically switched my position with his. It would have turned me from the Prize to the chaser, a situation Shera Seven always warned girls about.“Is everything okay?” My mother asked, her eyes straining hard on a laptop screen.“Yes. Why did you ask?”“You seem distracted”“Well—” My iPhone dinged and I hurriedly sat up when I saw who it was.It was a message from Mark. A big smile appeared on my face. I started to punch on my keypads instantly, but paused mid-way. I locked my phone and kept it away from me.Responding immediately depicts desperation and beautiful women shouldn’t be desperate.“Laura?”

Amanda and James” I waved at them absentmindedly as I walked to the empty chair in a corner. I plunged myself in it and sighed. “You are late. Kilan was here to look for you” Amanda who spoke abruptly just Elsie was about to say something. “He did?” I tilted my head to look at her with my sleep depraved eyes.
