Kristen was going to spend half an hour in the bathroom. She had concluded on her way to her bathroom with the hope that her visitor had left.It's been quite a morning for her. She did not think Frederick would come for her so soon."What do I expect, it's obvious he likes free sex. They always do"She muttered while relaxing her hair on the tub headrest.The tub was filled to the brim with water and bubbles. Her soap fragrance filled the air, soothing her soul.Good sex comes with great relaxation. One thing Kristen can't trade for anything is a chance at good sex. That's how much she loves sex.She sighed with relief and smiled when the image of Frederick appeared on her face but frowned the next second."Why am I thinking of him, I should not do that. Kristen remember"She sighed again then closed her eyes to enjoy the soothing following that comes with a bubble bath.The door cranked open and she flicked her eyes open immediately to see Frederick standing at the door staring a
Frederick rammed the car door closed and exhaled deeply. It turned out that he was going to spend the day far from what he had planned."I could actually go back in there"He thought and shook his head vehemently to stop the temptations."I wouldn't want her to chase me away like a criminal"He mused then ignited his engine and zoomed off.Noami drew the blind then sighed and slumped on her couch."You were being so cheap trying to make him notice you"Her mind screamed at her."It's not bad if you like him but speaking bad of Kristen, common girl, you are more than that"She rolled her eyes when it was obvious she couldn't fight her conscience.******With her towel wrapping around her chest and another one on her hair, she stepped out of the bathroom, whistling.She made a happy dance then chuckled at her silliness making sure to flash her beautiful detention.No doubt Kristen is a beautiful lady but her love for shady colors had made her beauty hidden.Her face was pale from the
"You know I am not as bad as you assumed I am," Cherry said, plugging herself down on the couch, that moment Kristen strolled inside the living room frowning. She just wanted her day to go uneventfully but now that Cherry is here, she doubts if she would have the peace she deserves. "But by the way, what is she doing here anyway?" Kristen wondered, then sat down and crossed her legs. She regarded her sister for a while then cleared her throat. Her expression is now serious. "You and I know that it's a mirage. Everyone mistakes you for being the Angel and terms me the Devil, I have no problem with that but coming here to claim you are not bad as I assume is wishful talk." Cherry chuckled and lay squarely on the couch, smiling viciously, her sister knows her too well. "I really don't have time for your trouble so state while you are here and leave" "Easy sis, I am not in a hurry to leave. In fact, dad is going to bring my luggage over later. I am staying
Frederick drove into the bar Larry had given its address on his way back home. He had just wanted to go home and sulk but on second thought, he decided to hang out with Larry excluding the other two. He sighed and got off the car before walking up to the entrance of the bar, and ringing the bell. The door opened revealing an older man who smiled at him from behind thick-rimmed spectacles. His gray hair was combed back, showing that he had been working for a while.“Welcome Sir, to the Fricky Four,"The man said smiling and Frederick smiled too"Thank you."Frederick told him as he made his way through the dark foyer of the bar. The lights were dimmed which left the room in a soft glow. There were about ten or so tables occupied by customers drinking and talking over drinks.Larry greeted him from the far end of the bar where he was seated laughing at something on his phone. Frederick smiled and took a seat next to him. Larry put down his phone, smiling brightly at Frederic
Frederick and Larry spent the next two hours discussing random things. The morning was almost over and it was time for lunch so both men headed out to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant. It took less than twenty minutes before they arrived.Once there, both ate in relative silence as they watched the crowds walking by on the sidewalks, the sound of clanking forks filling the space between them. As they continued their lunch conversation, Fred noticed a man walk up towards the restaurant entrance looking around in search of a table."You want to sit here?"Frederick asked him, pointing to the table.The man gave a small smile and nodded his head in response and he sat down opposite the two. Both were quick to notice that they were seated directly across from each other which is when they realized that they had just been assigned seats by an invisible force. Larry and Frederick exchanged nervous glances before returning to their lunches while silently eating. They both remained s
Larry turned as well and was surprised to see the man that left them at the restaurant. His gut was right after all, for the stranger to come after them, there is more. But the question is who is he and what does he want?“So you have been stalking us since we got here, huh?” Frederick said, trying to break through the silence. He could sense that Larry wants to know more about the man so he might help.He watched as the stranger's face became blank, then his hand grabbed Frederick's arm, stopping him in his tracks.“I'm not stalking you, you are the one who believes so ” he replied in a cold voice with no emotion at all. The stranger moved his hand away and walked past Larry and Frederick, leaving both speechless. The atmosphere between them changed and it seems as if Frederick felt uncomfortable. He didn't know how else they would get answers from the stranger but at the same time, he knew that this is not the time or place. He decided to just ignore the strange incident. "Let's
Kristen checked herself in the mirror and smirked proudly at herself. She looks so hot and irresistible.The time was 7 pm and Frederick has given her an address where to meet him. She was putting on a black strapless dress that clings to every curve. She had added some dark brown lipstick and light blue eyeshadow, all while trying not to think about how hot she looked with it."You are sure going to take someone's breath away tonight,"She giggled proudly and picked her black high heels up from the bedroom floor and slipped them on her feet. Kristen looked at her reflection for the last time before grabbing her keys and purse and locking the door behind her.She came outside and met Naomi mounted on her balcony. That was strange but Kristen could care less. She doesn't give a shit about her neighbor. Kristen made her way to her car and jumped inside. Naomi did not hide the fact she hates Kristen.If there is a worse adjective she can use to describe Kristen, she would, that's how
Frederick opened his apartment door and led her inside, a romantic atmosphere filled the room. The lights were dimmed and everything was clean and organized. There was a bottle of champagne chilling near a big screen tv, the smell of food coming from the kitchen, and a soft melody playing.Kristen looked around and her mouth fell open at what she was seeing. She must admit, he went on a great deal to prepare this and she appreciates it but she is not his date so this was not necessary.Kristen looked up and noticed Frederick was looking at her expectantly. She snapped her gaze towards him again,"This is not necessary, a hotel would have been the best place for us to do our business "She stated bluntly.Frederick's expression changed from surprise to disappointment and he felt hurt that she was not interested in spending a little time with him. He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer.Kristen tensed up and tried to pull away but he tightene
Kristen drove through the address given to her and parked, she quickly got down but was careful not to fall. Her dizziness had returned and her wound had started bleeding. Throughout her drive down to the hotel, she prayed not to pass out in the car. She took a great risk today and it's all for her mother's sake. Getting to the lobby, she inquired and was told Lucian's room number. She took the elevator. Ding! She was moving out of the elevator at full speed with her eyes glued to her phone. She found the room but what she saw wasn't what she expected at all. Lucian and two other men were taken away in handcuffs with gun wounds on their bodies. Lucian glared at her before he was pushed away She was in shock and when she recovered, she looked up to see her mother was okay yet there was no smile on Mrs. King's face. She looked away from her and finally looked at the man beside her mother. "Dad!"She muttered and passed out. Kristen opened her eyes and found three pairs of eyes wat
Wordlessly, Kristen turned and headed out. Annie thought of following her and when Kristen realized that Annie was following her, she gestured for her to stop with her hand. She has no idea what Lucian had planned to do so she can't endanger Annie's life. Kristen thought that after all of these and she survived, she would then reward Annabel for being her backbone. Both have been through thick and thin. She was full of exhaustion yet she was intending to drive herself to that God damned address. If in her terrible condition she can drive from place to this place? What is a thirty-minute journey she can't do? The address was the popular hotel in town, what a joke! If indeed she is getting married to Lucian, wasn't it supposed to be inside a church or something? A wedding inside a hotel, Kristen hadn't seen it all yet. The servants she saw gave her a kind look and with their deepest hearts, they wished she could pull through. But wait? Wasn't Kristen supposed to report this to the
The phone slipped off Kristen's hand and she went down on the floor, with tears flowing free from her eyes down to her cheeks and disappearing into her dress. It's unbelievable that the lady she saw a while ago was dead, for real? She can't just die. Frederick called and broke the news to her, the fact that Frederick had her number didn't bother her, she was too shocked to even utter a word and worst still, she was blaming herself for Noami's death. She didn't have to die, Kristen wished there was something she could do. Maybe Frederick hadn't kissed her or she hadn't flirted with him earlier, Noami would have still been alive yet deep down, Kristen felt she was not at fault. It was just a kiss, she shouldn't have taken it far and drove off in anger which got her killed however Kristen's heart was pricking her badly and her tears continued to flow nonstop. She was devastated.She forgot all about her tummy and wept. Her face was all red and she felt so weak. She didn't know wh
Frederick cleared his throat, trying to appear cool and collected, "Naomi what are you doing here." Kristen thought he was acting cold but he was actually flustered.Naomi stepped aside "I was looking for you and saw your car outside. It looks like you are busy."She looked hurt and Kristen could see it."Noami, it's not what you think?" Kristen started to explain but Noami never spared her a glance, she had her attention focused on Frederick, waiting for him to say something at least. "Aren't you going to say anything?" She was in dire need of explanation. She wanted him to tell her that he wasn't the one who initiated the kiss between Kristen and him, it will make her feel better and she could forgive him. Of course, she is aware of their relationship and wouldn't blame Frederick if anything like this was supposed to occur, two souls that love themselves can't be separated. She knew all this yet Noami wanted him for herself, she was hurting deeply, and to make matters worse,
Kristen watched him stop and turn to face her, she had her eyes fixed on him, not wanting to miss any emotions at all. The silence was deafening that a drop of a pin can be hard. A moment passed, another did and Kristen couldn't take the silence anymore plus the way he was staring at her like he was caught stealing what is his but who steals what they owe? "I don't know why you're watching me like that."She said and continued, "you looked uncomfortable and I wondered why you still don't want to tell me how you know my bedroom." She added with an annoyed tone "so spill, now."He sighed heavily and put his hands in his pockets. Kristen could see he didn't want to do this, she had this feeling he wanted to avoid it just as much as she wanted to know.Kristen took a step forward and demanded "now!" How in the world will he tell her all that he knows, he can't say anything concerning both of them. Not only will it traumatize her, but it could also endanger her and the lost memories will
As angry as she was that someone had to be knocking at her door, Kristen kept her cool and eventually opened the door to her surprise, she wasn't expecting him to be the one. Her frown dissolved into a smile and she stepped aside. Frederick walked in clutching two paper packs. "You are going out with this broken head of yours?" He asked worriedly and scanned her. Kristen smiled shyly and closed the door then faced him, "What are you doing here? There are two places you should be, the hospital or your girlfriend's place." The way she raised her brows made Frederick chuckle, "you did not even answer my question and you are asking me yours?" He raised one eyebrow."Well yeah, I am going to get what to eat. Can't remember the last time I ate and it's already mid-morning. Don't even know why I left the hospital, I need to be taken care of."She said dramatically and Frederick looked at her with lots of love in his eyes. Kristen lift her eyes and they met, she hadn't seen anyone lo
Gingerly but hesitantly, Noami stood up expecting Kristen to stop her from leaving. Disappointment was written all over her face and she was finding it hard to hide it. Kristen looked away from her as she waited for Noami to leave. Noami didn't look like Someone ready to leave. She was taking too much time to leave and Kristen's patience was running thin."Damn this lady, she should leave already," Kristen spat angrily in her mind."Won't she ask me to stay and also apologize to me?"Noami thought and took a step and then turned towards the direction of Kristen's face, as if on cue both their eyes met and they stared at each other.The tension was thickening in the room. Noami was staring at Kristen, waiting for her to at least say something, anything. As she saw Kristen remained silent, her anger rose within her and she spoke, "you know what?" She glared at Kristen, pointing her index finger at her angrily, "I was a fool to think I can patch things up with you. I am done trying
The silence was finally broken by Mrs. King after she could not bear the tension any longer. "You ruined me and my daughter after everything, what did I not do for you?""What exactly did you do for me, marrying me?"Stephen asked coolly, he was trying so hard to put his anger under control. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to do that but he knew one thing for sure, he would explode eventually. "If I haven't forgotten, you begged me to marry you, or are you forgetting that little detail?" He sighed and removed his hand from her face, "Listen, my dear, I am not doing anything wrong. Okay, I admit I had fun with your daughter, of course, sleeping with you and yo.." Whack! A slap landed on his face before he finished his statement. He held his cheek and glared at his wife who had her fingers pointing at his face, "don't you dare, Mr. Stephen King, don't dare speak of my daughter in that manner. I know what you wanted to say, that sleeping with me and my daughter
Her door closing gave Kristen relief, a peace she thought she would never have washed over her. It felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kristen Chase felt free and the only thing that came to her mind was to dance. She did a little happy dance and collapsed on the bed, hitting her head in the process. She groaned because of the pain yet it didn't stop her from smiling. The pain in her chest has been greater than the one in her head and now the pain in her chest is not there, she can manage the pain in her chest with a smile. Give her a few days and she is back on her feet. "Do you know, baby, that your momma is free?" Kristen patted her belly and smiled, though the father of her child is out in her life, for now, she will take care of her bundle of joy. She might not get back with Lucian ever but she can promise her baby she'll be the greatest mother and be able to love him/her unconditionally. She knew Lucian doesn't love her and she knows he probably won't
