AmandaAn hour later, I got to the hotel. The seven star hotel boasted of the utmost comfort there was and I wasn't surprised that Lara used this. She paid no expense especially when getting the finer things of life. I had a feeling that the rooms they would be using were paid for by Lara’s numerous boyfriends. I had known for a fact that Tony was not the only man whom she was seeing. I sighed at the hopelessness of the situation they were in. Lara was slowly getting deeper into the mess she had already created. I knew that she would never listen to her and so, there was really no point in trying anymore. I smiled at the receptionist before walking towards the room we were going to use. I knocked lightly before pushing the door open. Lara was sitting on a high back chair, the powerful rays of the white standing bulb the makeup artist brought shone down on her face. She was just getting started. She smiled when she saw me. Even though she did some really stupid things at time, she wa
That morning, Parker returned to the mansion albeit tired and worn out. The meeting with the expatriates was one that was very tasking and tiring. One thing he was grateful for was that he was able to come out of it alive.Just before he ventured into the warehouse, Parker had no idea if he would be coming out of the place alove. The boss his father had sent him to was known to do stuff completely out of the blues. No one had noticed it but Parker could see a look of hatred in his eyes as they spoke about the terms of their deal. He had a feeling that this hatred wasn’t directed to him but it stemmed from a place or something which happened a very long time ago.Whatever that was, he really hoped that it would be revealed soon because if there was one thing he hated, it was suspense and mystery. He liked everything to be in the open and this was what everyone knew.As he stepped out of his Mercedes Benz, he couldn’t stop the relieved sigh that came out of him. He didn’t know how much
"What's on our table now Alessandro?" A voice asked.Unknown to them, Eric was at a corner in the large room, listening to their every word. His gun was by his side, ready to strike in case any eventualities occured. Earlier, he had gotten information that these were the very men who were plotting his downfall. He decided to check them out and sure enough, what he heard was true. He didn't know if he'll get out of here alive but he wasn't going down without a fight.Charlotte had no idea about all of this. If she knew, she would never have allowed him to leave the house "The girls. I have a new order from a client in Russia and be needs them as soon as " His voice was deep, a much deeper tone compared to the last. Up close, Eric noticed that he had a moustache and a small piercing by the side of nose which made him look all the more sinister."How many does he need?" Another voice asked.From the small holes on the wall, Eric could make out where they all sat. The first man sat at
Eric got back home, a tired mess. He didn't know he had the courage to carry out what he had just done. For several months now, Alessandro and his men had been planning an attack on some schools in the city with the aim of "recruiting" girls for their illicit business. Eric had known this since for a long time now but he wanted to give the feds the benefit of doubt to catch them but alas, they did nothing. The truth was, most of them feared Alessandro and his men and asides that they were really grounded in the system.Alessandro's tentacles were spread all over the city and even in some other cities. Asides this, he also had a lot of business in other parts of the world. He was rich, well connected and very industrious which posed a major challenges for the law.Eric sighed, stepping into the hallway that led into the main house. He knew that what he had just done wouldn't stop them but only slow them down and he hoped that the feds would get them before they carry out their evil pl
The next morning, Amanda woke up with a slight headache. She had no idea why this was happening when she was perfectly alright the previous day. Her head seemed like it was carrying a hundred pound brick as it pounded with a vegeance she couldn't quite understand."What's happening?" Amanda mummured.Something like this hadn't happened to her before, this was all a strange sensation she couldn't quite understand.She sat up, cradling her head in her palms, wishing that the pain could just disappear. It was a discomfort she didn't like at all. A few minutes later, her mother walked in and upon seeing her daughter this way, she knew that there was something wrong."Amanda honey, what's the matter?" Charlotte asked.She sat beside her on the bed, feeling her temperature and she discovered that it was burning hot. Amanda wasn't one to fall sick easily and Charlotte knew that this was odd."Do you feel dizzy?" She asked.Thinking about it now, Amanda realized that she was feeling dizzy too
Later that day, Amanda was left alone in the house. Her mother had to attend an important meeting with some of the chair boards back at her office. She didn't want to leave her all alone at home but Amanda pushed her to go because it was her job and she didn't want to be the reason why she couldn't allow her mother to miss the meeting."I'll be fine Mom." Amanda smiled."Are you sure honey?" Charlotte stressed."Seriously Mom. I'll be fine, I'm getting better now. Thanks to the drugs I used." Amanda smiled.After much persuasion, her mother left. Her parents weren't due to arrive till late at night so she had the house to herself. In order to relax, she binged watched her favorite t.v programs with a big tub of ice cream and salted potato chips beside her.This was her favorite thing to eat and Amanda paid no expense in filling her plate up with her favorite snacks. Later on, her phone gave a loud beep, indicating she had a call.Glancing at the caller ID, she discovered it was Emily
"I understand if you don't want to talk to me ever again consider what I did but Amanda, I need you say something. Your silence is killing me." Parker said. For several minutes, Amanda remained quiet as she tried to sort out her thoughts based on what Parker had said. She was in between being cross with him and thanking him for looking out for her. "One part of me wants to hit you while the other part of me wants to kiss you senseless." Amanda said. "Then we should go with the latter part don't you think?" He smiled. Amanda gave him a pointed look before her face gave way to a beautiful smile. Parker gave a huge sigh of relief, glad that she didn't take offence. He didn't know what he'll have done if Amanda decided to be cross with him. "Thank you." He smiled. "That doesn't mean you're in the clear now. I'm still a teensy wee bit angry with you for doing that to me without my consent." Amanda sighed. She sat on his lap, resting her head on his chest. She was just glad he was her
ParkerI knew I just had to tell Amanda everything I did today. I knew that if she was in my shoes, she would probably come clean to me. But yet, I was having a hard time telling her what I did. I didn't know how she was going to take it which left me worried."Parker, what's going on?" She asked.I didn't even know how to begin and with her staring at me, it just didn't feel right to lie to her. If there was one thing Amanda deserved, it was transparency."I really don't know how you're going to feel when I tell you what I've been up to today." I said."Just say it how it is darling, I'm all ears." She smiled.I took a deep breath, it was now or never. The only way I could come clean with her was by just telling her the whole truth and nothing but that truth."Remember the guy that swindled my Dad back in london?" I beganA look of comprehension dawned on her face but I could still see some hint of confusion there. The whole story wasn't really clear to her yet which was something I
''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.
