"Why are you staring at me like that?" Mia asked her best friend, Hailey.
"I rushed down here when I heard that douchebag broke up with you. I had envisioned you to be in your worst state but you seem okay and I don't know if I should be concerned."
"Chris meant the world to you. You even loved him more than you love me, your best friend. You would sacrifice anything for him in a heartbeat!"
Mia took two scoops of her vanilla ice cream before responding to Hailey who was seated beside her. "You should have seen me yesterday after the breakup. With the way I was crying, you would have thought my loved one just died. Last night, I was fortunate to have come across someone who made me realize I deserve better than Chris."
Stepping into his penthouse, Colton's phone buzzed in his pocket. Reaching for it, he saw that it was his Mom. He sighed, then tossed his phone on a nearby table. He proceeded to the kitchen for a bottle of water. By the time he returned to the living room, his phone had stopped ringing.Opening the cap of the bottle, he gulped down some water. His phone ran again. It was his Mom. Putting the bottle on the table, he reached for the phone and answered the call."Hi Mom""Hi, Baby. How are you?""I'm fine, Mom. How's Dad?" He asked, taking a seat on a nearby couch."Good to hear. Your Dad is fine. He's in the study making some calls. W
The next day.Mia always look forward to her weekends but she felt really indifferent about this one. Today being a Saturday, She woke up late and tired. Tired because she didn't sleep on time. The memories of her one-night stand with the sexy stranger kept her awake.She sat up on the bed and meditated for a couple of minutes; roughly thinking about how messed up her life was. Mia came back to reality when she heard her phone buzz beside her. Seeing that it was her elder sister, Tessie, She picked up immediately."Morning Tess.""I'm really mad at you, Mia. Didn't we agree that you weren't going to keep anything away from me?"Mia sighed.
"You're nothing but a bully, a bastard, a worthless man, a disgrace, and most of all, an ingrate!" Colton said."Who are you to call me that when you know nothing about me? All Mia told you about me are nothing but lies." He mumbled. The gun was still pointed at the side of his head."What more is there to know about you than being a person who portrays all of the qualities I mentioned. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself a man, yet you depend on a woman for money.""She did that out of her will. She was the one always opening her purse every time I was in need." He said without a care in the world."And you still have the guts to justify your useless self. Haven't you got no
Sunday.Colton spent his afternoon at a golf club restaurant. He had a meeting with some clients and it lasted for three hours.Just a little over 6 pm, on his way to his car, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Seeing the caller ID, he sighed. It was Caleb, his brother."Hi," He answered."Where are you, bro?" Caleb's whining voice came through."Working"'God, Colton! It's Sunday!""And?" Colt said, wanting to know what his younger brother was trying to prove.
After making more conversations with his mother, Colton went to say Hi to his father in the study room. They discussed a bit about work until a maid came to inform them that dinner was ready and that the rest of the family was waiting for them in the dining room.On getting to the dining room, Vicky, Caleb, and Ashley were already seated.Upon seeing her elder brother walk in, Ashley rose to her feet and went to hug him."I don't remember us being on good terms, young woman," Colt said, not returning the hug."You're still mad at me?" Ashley pouted as she looked up at him in the face, still holding onto him tightly."I'm not mad at y
Pulling up in his penthouse's parking lot, Colton unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for his phone. He dialed Chad.Chad picked up almost immediately. "Good evening, Boss. I was just about to call you."Colt sighed, "Don't tell me my parents reached out to you already.""Yes, they did. Your Father requested my presence. I'm about to leave my home.Derik and Vicky knew Chad worked for their son so it was only reasonable for them to instruct him to come over to shed light on the matter.Colton ran a hand through his hair, regretting that he mentioned Chad's name to his parents."Okay. The
Coming out of the walk-in closet, all dressed up for bed, Derik saw his wife, Victoria, sitting at the edge of their bed, deep in thought.He sighed, then went to sit beside her. She had not been herself since Colton broke the news to them."Hey!" He whispered, placing his hand on hers and giving it a light squeeze.Victoria looked her husband in the eye. "Where have I gone wrong?""What do you mean?" He asked."Colton. I think I saw a different side of him today.""He has always been obedient, he never fails to make us proud, he respects us as his parents, he respects our opinions, and e
Opening the door, Colton came face to face with his younger brother, Caleb. He sighed. "Got some time to spare? I want to talk to you" Caleb said, looking serious which was sort of a surprise. Caleb was usually not a very serious person. "Five minutes," Colt mumbled, going back into the office and taking a seat on the couch. "What the hell is going on, Colt?" He asked, refusing to sit. "Who the hell is Mia and when did you guys create a baby?" Caleb thought he knew everything about his elder brother but he was wrong. "I don't want to talk about it," Colt said. "You said the same thing yesterday. You need to grow up, Colt. Life do
