EmilyTo say she was having so much fun talking and laughing with Johnson would be an understatement, she was downright thrilled. It wasn’t only him, going out also had that effect on her and she hadn’t realized what she had missed. Emily had so much fun talking and laughing with strange people, people who also smiled and laughed with her.It was a warm fuzzy feeling that left her feeling glad and happy. She and Johnson went into several shops to eat ice cream and snacks. Emily hadn’t realized how beautiful the outside world was. She had always been locked up in the mansion, doing nothing except sleeping and waking. It was a regular chore she was getting tired of.‘’This is so delicious.’’ Emily moaned.The banana flavored ice cream she was having was the best flavor she had ever had. The delicious taste danced around her tongue which left her eager to take more. The only ones she had taken were vanilla flavored and chocolate but this, this banana flavored goodness was all she ever im
ParkerI cut the call as soon as Juan told me the news. But before I did that, I instructed him not to tell anyone about it. It was a top secret, something that shouldn't be shared with anyone at all. If anyone was to inform Amanda about what had happened, it should be Mr and no one else.As I sat in my car in silence, my mind flashed back to the moments I spent with Amanda's parents. They were just like my parents, bubbly, cheerful and always full of smiles. They accepted me immediately like they had known me before.The fear I had concerning meeting them vanished as soon as they accepted me. They were one of the nicest people I've ever met and something like this should never have happened to them."God!" I screamed, hitting the steering wheel in anger.I had suspected something like this but the realization that they were never coming back filled me with so much sadness it was almost choking. Amanda didn't deserve any of this and as I sat there, I just didn't know how I was going t
AmandaAs soon as I was done in the library, I packed my books into my bag, zipping it close. I sat still for a moment, trying to massage the stress lines on my temple. I couldn't deny the fact that I was stressed and it was due to the fact that I hadn't heard from my parents for over three days now.If everything went as planned, they should have been in Romania by now. They were due to arrive the following day but I hadn't heard from them, not to talk about them returning the following day.I checked my phone or any missed calls, messages or even a beep for the umpteenth time in the last three days but there was nothing from them. This left me beyond worried because I had no idea on what was going on. This wasn't how my parents behaved and I knew that something was definitely going on.I decided to try their lines again, this time, hoping that at least one of them picked up the call. The line went straight to voicemail which was odd because in the times I tried it earlier, it rang a
EmilyLater than afternoon, Emily heard a loud crash. Startled by this, Emily rushed towards the living room where the source of the noise seemed to be coming from. As she ran, different thoughts ran through her mind on what could be the cause of that noise. Emily didn’t know what to think about the crash. She feared that something had happened to Louis. That was the only thought that was in her mind even as she got to the living room of the mansion. Charlie hadn’t yet gotten him so the crash couldn’t have come from him.When she got to the living room, Emily saw that Louis was bleeding from the nose. It was a heavy bleeding, one that she knew could only have resulted from a heavy fall. The point at which he fell was very evident on the ground. The ground was sprinkled with blood and Emily knew this was the point where he had fallen.‘’What in the world!’’ Emily screamed.This was the first time she was seeing him like this and it completely left her shattered. Even though they weren
EmilyAs soon as Charlie stepped in, the silence that filled the whole place was awkward to say the least. It just felt like as soon as he stepped in, he sucked out all of the air that was around the room. He stared at his father and Emily who were currently sitting at the dining table and wondered what they were talking about.He hadn’t seen them this close before but he wasn’t surprised because since they were in-laws, they were bound to have a relationship. Charlie looked between Emily, his wife and his father, wondering what they might be talking about. He badly wanted to know what they’ve been talking about but the last thing he would do was to ask them.Charlie didn't want them, especially Emily to think that what was going on between them affected him. He wanted her to think that he wasn’t bothered about it when in reality, he was crushed.Emily was the only woman who ever intrigued him. She wasn’t like all the other women he had dated and slept with. She knew the value of dati
Emily and CharlieShattered by the news, Charlie knew he couldn’t return home and face his family again. The news he had just heard was enough to leave him shattered for the rest of his life. Never could he have imagined that Emily would fall pregnant and what’s worse, they didn’t know who the father was. He never regarded her as a loose girl but the realization that she might have used herself outside left him shaking in fear.Charlie had no doubt that if he went home and saw her, he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions and might hit her out of spite and anger and that was something he didn’t want happening. He had never hit a woman, it just wasn’t his thing to do. His anger was a more silent one whereas his brother’s was very violent and could actually hit a woman.He drove straight to the club and upon getting there, drowned himself in alcohol. The first martini he had didn’t do the trick and he found himself ordering shots after shots of the drink. That still didn’t do and Cha
Emily and CharlieThe next morning came without any fanfare. Its dawn and the whole of Charlie's family mansion was quiet except for the sound of morning animals and servants working to keep the house clean. Cleanliness was something the Charlie's family’s loved. Andrew Charlie's family could sometimes be regarded as a neat freak based on what he loved doing.One could hardly find a scrap of dirt or filth around him which was something that was very rare for a man. He had inculcated that habit in his sons and he was quite glad that they had taken after him. That was all he wanted but still, Andrew wasn’t a happy man. The recent divide between his sons was giving him a headache and a heartache and it was one he didn’t quite know how to deal with but nevertheless, he hoped that everything went back to normal. The workers cleaned the compound with all their might as they tried to make the compound spotless.When Emily woke up, she couldn't find Charlie by her side. This left her sad and
Charlie returned home much later that night. For several days now, he had been keeping late nights, only returning home when he had completed all of his tasks back at the office. It wasn’t because he enjoyed doing the work, far from it but it was due to the fact that he was trying desperately to avoid getting home early and meeting Emily or worse, Louis.What had happened was something that couldn’t easily be forgotten. It would take a very long time before the wounds were healed and what’s worse, Charlie didn’t think he was ready for any of that because he knew that healing would be a very difficult thing to accomplish.As he drove through the gates of the mansion, he sighed, looking straight ahead. There were so many things going through his head, so many things he couldn’t quite talk about. If he had his way, Charlie would have run away, away from all the troubles that the Charlie's family brought but he knew that running away was like wishing for a unicorn, it wasn’t possible.He
''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.
