The door banging woke Kristen from her sleep. Her eyes shot open, immediately scanning the room. She sat up, turning to look at where it was coming from.

The knock came again and it dawned on her that it was coming from the main door.

"Who could that be that would not allow me to sleep?"

She wondered and closed her eyes.

"Lately, my door seemed to be knocked on more than it has been knocked on for the past five years"

She murmured and flipped over when the knock came again. She felt herself falling back asleep before she fell out of bed, landing flat on the floor. As if nothing happened, she got back onto her feet, stretching and yawning as she went back to her bed to sleep. The first time, she slept on it for ages.

The door banged for the fourth time, she decided she could not ignore it anymore.

She stood up and grabbed her night robe then walked out of her room half asleep.

"It could just be 7 in the morning"

She could not help saying.

    Mrs. King stood terrified staring blankly at the door. She was trying to wrap her hand around what is going on. She couldn't believe that her daughter could not forgive her and let her in and have the guts to lock her outside. Does she hate her this much for her not to forgive her even for a tiny bit and let her in?Mrs. King had hoped Kristen would forgive her. It really surprised her.She did not expect her to be so cold and cruel towards her.It is what it is and she would try hard to win her daughter back. She just has to.She turned and made to leave but saw Noami who had witnessed what happened between Mrs. King and Kristen and had concluded Mrs. King is Kristen's mother. The constant knock had made her wake upShe saw how the woman is dressed and knew right away that she is very rich."Good morning ma'am.""Morning my dear," Mrs. King responded and took a step when the lady's voice stopped her."The morning is still too early and soon enough the winter will take its course.

    Naomi watched Mrs. King as she sipped her cocoa as many thoughts ran through her mind. She is a skimming bitch who hides in the disguise of a good girl."So tell me, apart from you. Does my daughter have other friends?"Naomi smiled when the opportunity she was looking for arrived.She cleaned her throat then relaxed on the couch,"Yeah, she has but I am ashamed to admit that those friends are nothing to write home about," Mrs. King did not like the sound of that and wondered if her daughter is keeping a bad gang, the ones that will put her in danger."Oh my poor daughter, what have I done to her?" Mrs. King cried out in her mind.Naomi could tell from the expression playing on the woman's face that what she said hit a point. She smiled to herself and then made a sad face."She is my friend but I can't tell Kristen what to do. I so much love her that I can't bear to see what she does with boys'' She said, faking sadness. Mrs. King looked up, "Did you say, boys"Naomi nodded her head

    Within the last fifteen minutes, Kristen had cried her heart out. Each time, her past comes hunting, she cries. It relieves her of tension.With her back leaning against the wall, she brushes her mouth sluggishly.Her eyes were red from crying and her mouth quivered. Her cheeks were drained of colors.She wipes her face to stop her tears, only to feel more come. She buries her face into the crook of her elbow and tries to control herself. She sniffles once, twice, and then takes a deep breath.This is not the time for her to be strong. Not when every member of her family is popping up at her doorstep reminding her of what she is trying to forget."Mummy, when will you ever listen to me? all you do is get to work, come back and take care of your husband without asking me how I am fairing."Her faint voice rang in her head."You know, today was PTA and every child's parents in my school came except mine. What did I ever do to you?"The Voice in her head continues lamenting in pain.It's

    Kristen did not have to drive for long before she got to a nearby restaurant.There was a little bit of traffic, but she didn’t mind it as much once she entered the parking lot. A sign hung in front of her saying ‘Wine, Beer and Burgers’ and that was all she needed to know to find the perfect spot. It wasn’t a particularly fancy restaurant, but when compared with the other places Kristen had been going, this place was pretty nice.She got out of the car, locking it behind her. When she made her way towards the restaurant, she saw the doorman waiting by the door. She smiled at him and headed over.The doorman held the door open for her. “Thank you,” Kristen said, walking through and taking in the surroundings. A hostess led her directly to a booth at the back of the restaurant, away from the windows. As she slid into the seat, some guy sitting across from her looked up and smiled at her.Kristen contemplated if to smile back or not and decided to do the former.He seemed very attractiv

    FREDERICK groaned as he opened his eyes. He had overslept. If not for the ringing of his phone, he might not have woken up.He looked at the clock on his bedside table and swore when he noticed that it read eight in the morning. His phone rang again and he grabbed it from where it was lying carelessly.He sighed when he saw who was calling him and answered the call.“Frederick?”“Larry, you don't have to wake me up with a call. you know that right?" said Frederick with an irritating voice"I don't, but I think you will enjoy what I have to tell you," Larry said apologetically'Okay," replied Frederick slowly. ‘what could he possibly want at this time of day?' Frederick thought.He took a deep breath and let out. “Alright, what is it?""The stranger from yesterday, remember?""Yeah, what about him?" Frederick asked with curiosity lacing through his voice."I know where he is staying. I was able to trace where he live"Larry paused."How do you find him?" Frederick asked after a moment

    KRISTEN dropped the phone and rolled her eyes. She just got off the phone with Frederick."Thinking of the devil, he called" She mumbled, poking her egg with the fork.After the stranger, Lucian left, she had not put much thought into him and retorted to eating her breakfast. She was doing that until Frederick called and made an offer to see her.She stared at her shades close to her purse. She was definitely staring at it but her mind was far from it."Why was he sounding so afraid over the phone?"She sighed, creasing her brows. This is not making sense to her. She is afraid to start something with him and he is afraid to even call her. Who would make the move between the two of them?She heard a giggle and looked up to see her sister coming into the restaurant with a guy. She was heavily dressed in dark shades and a black leather jacket and this tight skirt that would allow her to walk.It looked like she was trying so hard to walk with the clothes.The guy looked like one of the

    "But just remember one thing, if I really want to crush you, I know what to do and I am sure you know what"Cherry's last words could not stop replaying in her mind as Kristen drives home. She knows what her sister is talking about and she knows Cherry is so evil that she would go to any extent to pull someone down."Who cares, what's the worst that can happen to me now? Nothing"She said out loud, taking a deep breath."When you decide to run away from a problem, another problem meets you. What a life?"Kristen thought and continued driving.The day does look good for her. First, her mother appeared and now, her sister ran into her. It's a clear sign to Kristen that the day might turn out sour for her."Let's see how it goes, my life has not been the best of it all and I can't remember a day that has favored me."She tuned the music to at least take her mind off so many thoughts. She doesn't want to get lost in the song and crash into something.After a few minutes of driving, she

    Kristen looked at Frederick's face and noticed he was nervous, his Adam's apple bobbed when he swallows."Do I make your breath hitch"?Kristen chuckled when Frederick shook his head slowly. His hand reached up to gently cup her cheek."You know me so well".He said while kissing her forehead."I did not realize I do. I wonder how come? We just met. How can I know you so we?"Kristen asked, staring into his eyes. She saw something she could not recognize but it seemed familiar somehow."You know me".She heard him say in a low tone. Kristen didn't say anything and just watched as her eyes roamed his face. The soft skin under his eyes and the stubble growing. His dark wavy hair makes the color darker, " you're my whole world".Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt Fredrick's hand rubbing against the nape of her neck."You want more than sex right? " Kristen's question left her mouth before her brain could process it. Frederick looked deep into her eyes.His expression was unreada

    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.
