"Hey guys, please wait." A voice said.Amanda had just come out of the school's clinic and was walking towards Parker who had already seen her. Both of them turned around to see Makayla walking towards them with a sad expression on her face. Even a blind person could see that she was ashamed of what she had done. She sighed, looking at them and for a minute, Amanda could swear that she saw her eyes twitch like one who was fighting back tears."Yes?" Parker asked.He wasn't buying any of her pitiful look but in that moment, Amanda couldn't stop him from speaking harshly to her. She wasn't sure too if Makayla was being genuine or not.Times without number, they had both seen how Makayla would bully younger students and sometimes, even her mates. It was horrible when she did it and so, Amanda wasn't surprised that Parker was treating her this way. In the deepest part of her heart, she believed that Makayla deserved it for all the time she was bad to people. It was even a law, you can't
''You're back so early?'' Patrick asked.He was surprised to see Aliyah back so soon when he expected her to come back a bit later. Her plan was to see Reed first before she went to Enzo's house and now she's back, it could only mean that something unexpected had happened and judging from the look on her face, it wouldn't have been good.''Diabla, what's the matter?'' he asked.Aliyah walked straight to the bar, snatching a bottle of white wine. It was relatively cooler than the rest of the drink and she wouldn't be intoxicated like when she was taking other brands of drinks.''Are you sure you'll be alright with that?'' Patrick asked.''Yes, this is a much safer option than taking any of the other drinks.'' Aliyah said.Patrick remained quiet, giving her more time to process what she wanted to process. He had a feeling that she had seen what she wasn't supposed to see and now, she just didn't know how to process her feelings.''Reed was about fucking Valentina.'' she said, flatly.
"Parker, I just got some information." Jamie said.They were still in school, at their break when Parker got the call."Oh god. Tell me it's nothing bad." Parker sighed.He could as well use one goid news now that everything seemed to be silent. He didn't want any bad news at all."Hold your horses man. This news is somewhat good."Really?" Parker asked.Amanda had gone for a bathroom break and wouldn't be back soon since from there, she had to go see the nurse who wanted to check up on her since her panic attack."Is Amanda there?" Jamie asked."No. She's in the bathroom, I'm at the dining hall. We're just having lunch." Parker said."Okay great. I just confirmed from my sources that Aliyah is backing down from us." He said, finally.Parker could hardly believe his ears. It was like a dream come true, in fact it was a dream come true.This was what he had been secretly hoping for and now that it had come, he just didn't know how to feel."Are you pulling my legs now man?" He asked."
"What did the nurse say?" Parker asked as soon as Amanda was on sight."Nothing really. At least, she said there's been an improvement on my health compared to how I was in the morning. She also said I should take loads of rest, it'll help me." "Alright. That's what you really need to take anyway and I'm going to make sure of it." Parker grinned.Amanda bumped into him playfully. She knew Parker wouldn't allow her do any other thing asides rest and she was mentally preparing for it.Just then, the school's bell rang again but this time, it was time for Ian's wake-keep."It's time." Parker sighed.Amanda swallowed. She wasn't sure if she was ready to go but she knew she had to. That'll be her paying her last respect to the boy who actually liked her.Amanda couldn't quite believe that he was truly gone. Even though he wasn't the best of friends, even his annoyance was funny to watch."So Ian's really dead?" Amanda said, quietly.It was a sad pill to swallow but still, she wasn't ready
JamieDeep into the night, i woke up with a start when i heard noises coming from the outer yard of my flat. Apparently, my fifth sense had sensed it even before i sensed it and so, i was awake in a jiffy.''What's happening?'' i mummured.I switched on the bedside lamp, looking at every corner of the room but there was nothing. Everything was as it was meant to be which just had me worried because there was really no way i would have woken without there being something amiss.I was too sensitive to do that and i badly needed to know what the problem was. If there was something i hated, it was to be caught unawares. I hated it with a passion.I heard the noise again, this time more faintly. No one would ever have heard it because it was very silent. This time around, it was closer than i thought. I switched off the bedside lamp, bathing the entire room in darkness.I dealt better when everywhere was dark. That was when i was focused and could see what exactly the problem was.''Come o
The next morning, Aliyah went to Lucas 's house. She wanted to find out if he was truly alright. The way he had spoken on the phone wasn't so good and she just wanted to see him with her eyes.''Off to Lucas 's?'' Patrick asked.Aliyah was about to step out of the house when she saw him by the patio. She couldn't begin to describe how grateful she was for his help. If it wasn't for him and his intervention, they would probably have been fighting now and it could have grown worse by the minute.''Yes. I want to see Lucas , i got a very bad call from him yesterday night that Enzo attacked him so i want to see how he is doing.'' Aliyah said.''I heard about that.'' Patrick said.Aliyah gave him a look of surprise. Even up until now, she couldn't understand how he knew most things that she didn't know about.''Don't ask, i know everything.'' he chuckled.Aliyah shrugged before opening the door. She had learnt not to question Patrick in matters like that and she was good with that. Aliyah
The next morning, Aliyah went to Lucas 's house. She wanted to find out if he was truly alright. The way he had spoken on the phone wasn't so good and she just wanted to see him with her eyes. ''Off to Eric's?'' Patrick asked. Aliyah was about to step out of the house when she saw him by the patio. She couldn't begin to describe how grateful she was for his help. If it wasn't for him and his intervention, they would probably have been fighting now and it could have grown worse by the minute. ''Yes. I want to see Lucas , i got a very bad call from him yesterday night that Enzo attacked him so i want to see how he is doing.'' Aliyah said. ''I heard about that.'' Patrick said.

The next day, Luciana’s heart was a bit steady after the good sex she had with Lucas the previous night. Sometimes, she didn’t quite understand her body. It just seemed like she wasn’t in control of herself especilaly with the way she got down dirty with him.‘’Honey, i’ll be back home on time today since Jamie and his wife would be coming over for dinner later today.’’ Lucas said.He had decided to move in for a while the previous night because he couldn't bare to be without her but Aliyah knew that the real reason was due to the fact that he dared the elders to come back and see things for themselves. If there was something Lucas loved, it was a dare and this looked like one.Now that his friend was coming and his wife, he had to actually get back home early.He kissed Aliyah on her cheek, peppering small kisses on her shoulders and her most ticklish spots. Aliyah giggled, trying to get away from him but it was impossible because Lucas had her in a tight grip.‘’You’ll be the de
''Thank you.'' Parker said.Amanda who had been in the middle of waking up and sleeping yawned as she opened her eyes. She had just had the best sex ever and she knew that in time to come, she would never forget any of this. Parker made her feel like a woman, a woman who was dignified and not like those other women men used, stories she had heard from her friends.''For what?'' Amanda asked.''For starters, for doing this with me. I know you can easily get your pick from all the numerous men out there but you chose me. That means something to me.'' Parker smiled.He moved closer to her, taking her warm hands in his. He couldn't quite believe he had a beautiful woman in his bed. It all seemed like a dream but Parker knew it was no dream, it was real. As real as it could get.''You don't have to thank me. I love to be with you just as you are to me so no need to thank me. All we have to figure out now is how to manage this without letting anyone else know about it.'' Amanda said.Parker
"How do you feel baby?"Amanda asked.It's been a few days since Parker was attacked and to say he made a speedy recovery would be an understatement, it was amazing.At the beginning, when it first happened, Amanda had her doubts whether he would recover but at the end, he not only surprised her but everyone who knew.Jamie and Amanda both knew that it was his strength that saved him but at the same time, Parker was so strong on his own that nothing could actually hurt him."I'm okay baby, you don't need to worry about me. I told you to stop asking about me, I'm more concerned about you. Tell me darling, how do you feel?" Parker asked.That was just one thing about him. Even though he was in pains, he would still make sure she was alright. That was the kind of man she loved and Amanda was quite glad she got him."Asides being scared that you might not make it, I'm okay over all." She smiled.Parker leaned closer to her, giving her a warm kiss on her lips.This was the best moment for t
‘’The Dremis’s have sought for outside help.’’ Aliyah began.If Lucas was surprised to hear this, he hid it well. For a group not so grounded as the Dremis’s, he had a feeling that they might likely have sought outside help. Now, it was happening and he didn’t know what to make of it. ‘’Wow! Really, wow!’’ Lucas said.‘’I know, that was my initial expression when he told me this.’’ Aliyah said.With those words, she had committed herself and she knew it was best for her to tell him everything at that moment because he would never stop until he found out what she really meant by those words.‘’Diabla, what do you mean?’’ Lucas asked.Aliyah sighed, taking a deep breath. She didn’t want to be seen as a traitor. Even though she was the head and could do as she pleases, her loyalty still remained with her group and she would rather die than compromise that.‘’I lied when i told you i went to see the accident victim.’’ Aliyah said.‘’I knew you were lying but I just didn’t know where you
Lucas was getting ready to leave his office when he received a call from Aliyah. He had been expecting her call and he was quite glad when he saw her name flash on his screen. Ever since his first kidnap, he had also been very careful on how he moved about.He didn't want to do anything that would cause her pain or put himself in a position that wasn't good at all. He needed to be careful now because a baby, his child, was also in the picture.Lucassmiled broadly and picked it up. He heared gushes from her as she thanks him for the dress. He knew she was going to do this but still, he was surprised at how enthusiastic she sounded. This just told him that she actually appreciated the gift and within him, he planned to give her more gifts as the day went by.''Hey baby, I see you like your new dress.'' he smiled.''Aliyah, I not only like it, I love it. Thank you so much.'' Aliyah gushed.She had always been a sucker for pretty dresses and anytime anyone gifted her one, she never faile
"Oh my gosh! No no no. It's not going through." Aliyah said.She had been trying to mind link Lucas ever since but the damn server was being distrusted by something or someone. It was very frustrating to say the least."Oh my gosh! What's going on? Where's Lucas?" Aliyah asked, pacing about.She gripped her phone in her hands, pacing about with tears streaming down her eyes. If anything were to ever happen to Lucas, Aliyah knew she'd never forgive herself nor him because she had warned him not to go anywhere but his stubbornness and insistence to go had caused him a whole lot."What's happening?" She asked.Patrick rushed in at that moment, panthing in her normal form. Aliyah had called her when she couldn't get a hold of Lucas because in that moment, she knew it was only Patrick that could calm her down."You still haven't gotten a hold of him?" Patrick asked, morphing back to her normal form."No and the worst part of it all is that the mind link seems to be scrambled somehow." Aliy
"Babe, I need to get to another town this evening. I need to pick up something from my office there." Lucas said. It was early in the morning, with the birds singing in the air and the morning animals chirping in the forests round about them. It was also the day of the anniversary, the day when both Aliyah and Lucas would be in their strongest form. "You realize what day it is today right?" Aliyah asked. Lucas knew but still, he knew he had to take the trip. It was very important not only to him but to the entire company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else. "This is important to me Aliyah, you've got to understand." He said Aliyah didn't know what was more important than staying home when he clearly knew that going out on a anniversary day was not a good decision. "Can't it wait till the following day?" Aliyah asked. "It honestly can't. If I could, I wouldn't bother going today." Lucas said. Aliyah thought about it and judging from the look in his eyes, she knew it had
LucasI couldn't lie to myself that what Slyvia said hurt me a whole lot. The bite and sting in her voice hurt me a lot but the last thing I would do was to see how much she hurt me. I would rather eat sand than allow her to see that she actually got to me.''Bitch!'' I hissed.Her disgusting attitude and behavior was going to get her into trouble one day and I would be there to watch her downfall and also laugh at her.I made my way back to my room. There were many things I needed to do and the earlier I got on with it, the better for me. I didn't have time to worry about someone like her when there were other things I could worry about.Slyvia was of no importance to me and in that moment, I knew I needed to put her in her place. That was the best thing I could do to someone like her.''So… how did it go?'' a voice said.I didn't need to look back to know that it was Patrick who spoke. He was very inquisitive as well as nosey and would always want to know everything that was going o
"Parker, let's go make some cookies." Amanda said.She was in the mood to eat and actually make some of the delicious cookies with Parker. With him, she always felt safe, like nothing could actually go wrong which was her own safe space."Now?" He asked."Yes, or don't you?" Amanda asked.Not that she'd be angry about that but she just knew that the next time she decided to make it, she wouldn't have the energy to."I'm game." Parker smiled.Together, they made their way towards the kitchen, holding hands like lovestruck teenagers. Sometimes, they couldn't get a hold of themselves which at times was very annoying especially to Jamie who couldn't stand them at all."If Jamie was here, you know he'd probably shout at us for being so cringy." Amanda laughed."Yeah... Yeah, I told the guy to get a girlfriend but he feels so reluctant about it. I'll probably talk to him about it again." Parker said."Is he scared of commitments?" Amanda asked.That was the only thing that came to her mind
"Yo! Parker, I have to get out for a while." Jamie said.His plan was to go to the brotherhood's office to tell them that he would be leaving soon. It hurt him to leave but he had to get back to his mother and also finish up his school."Okay, stay safe bro." Parker said from the inner room.He was helping Amanda with some of her homework which some of her friends had mailed to her. It was off to say the least because it was usually the other way around with her teaching him. But if there was one thing Parker was good at, it was English literature.When it came to that, he was champion, nobody could beat him in that and it was no wonder he aced all his papers in that aspect."Will do." Jamie said.He left the house, shutting the door firmly. Ever since Amanda was attacked in school by that crazy monster, she'd been taking home lessons which was safer and both Parker and her uncle could keep an eye on her.Her uncle who had planned to leave before might not be leaving in a long time.
