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
As Charlie rushed out, Emily tried calling him back but she wasn’t sure he even heard her. She had no doubt that it was due to what he had done to her that prompted him to leave the mansion in a hurry. Just before he left, she had seen the look of anguish on his face. It was a look she could never understand because it screamed pain and shame.Now, it was clear to her that Charlie regretted everything he had done to her but still, he didn’t quite know what to do and the best thing he could do was just to leave. He drove straight to the bar, a new found sanctuary he wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. There were many things he had to drink about but top on the list was the dastardly act he had committed against Emily.He never knew he could do that but the realization that he had actually done that left him shattered. There was nothing anyone could say or do that could justify what he had done. It was evil to say the least and what’s worse, if Emily decided to pursue the case and involve
AmandaPain. That was the first thing I felt as soon as I came back to existence. There was nothing i felt other than that. It was a crushing feeling, one that left me gasping for breath as I struggled to come to terms with the fact that my parents are no more. I knew my eyes were still closed because everywhere I turned to was pitch darkness. There was nothing I could do at that moment but to remain calm and hope that all this was a big far lie. "She's awake." A voice said.I didn't recognize that voice but I had a feeling that that voice belonged to someone I know, someone who is dear to my heart but at that moment, the memory of the person seemed as if it belonged to a memory of long ago."Are you sure?" Another voice asked.This time around, I was confused. I had no idea who was speaking because as far as I was concerned, I had no memory of the person."Yes. Her eyes blinked." The first voice said.Then, I heard movements. The sound seemed to be coming closer, like someone huge
As soon as he left Mateo, Charlie hurried towards his car, jumping in like his life depended on it. Actually, it did because whatever he found out in the mansion would one way or the othis affect his. Alessadro, his friend wouldn’t be expecting him to come straight to the mansion and that was the element of surprise Charlie wanted to give all of them. He crisscrossed the building traffic that was slowly making its way on the roads. Charlie was an expert driver and even the cops could hardly catch him if they were to give him a chase.‘’goddammit get off the fucking road!’’ Charlie screamed, honking his horn desperately at a cab driver.The driver had just dropped off a passenger on a busy street, blocking the path Charlie was to follow. On a good day, it would take him about twenty minutes to get to his fathis’s house from the club they owned but now, a quick glance at the car’s dashboard told him that it was pulling close to half an hour.Finally, the cab driver left the road at a s
Kara( Gustav's daughter- one of the crime boss men).Later that day, Kara, Gustav's daughter had a very important meeting with some of the heads of the group. It was a meeting that would discuss their plans on how to destroy the Eric's family allowing any of them to escape. Kara was fully ready to carry out this operation and she would never slack in it.That night, just before the meeting, Kara stayed back in her room, going over what she was going to talk about. There were many things to discuss destroying Eric's family top on her list. Soon, it was time for the meeting as she made her way downstairs towards the large hall.As soon as she stepped into the hall, the rest of the members all stood up, bowing their heads in respect and reverence. As it stood, she was the leader with her father being able to do little to nothing. Kara made her way towards the head of the table, standing with arms akimbo as she stared at the men who had proven their loyalty to her and the group at large.
Parker, together with his friend had to sedate Amanda again so she would fall asleep. As soon as she remembered what had happened to her parents, everything turned dark and ugly. Amanda was now a shell her former self and anytime Parker saw her, laying on the bed, he wept. This wasn't the girl he knew. She was looking so lean and haunted and his heart broke furthermore when he remembered the evil thing that had been done to her parents. Sometimes, Parker desperately wished that he could turn back the hands of time and change all that had happened. If he had his way, none of those atrocities would have happened. Now, Amanda had to leave the rest of her life in pain. The realization that she might never see her parents again was enough to drag her to the brink of depression. There was nothing anyone could say or do that could ease the heartache she continually felt within her. "Still sleeping?" A voice asked. Parker looked up and realized it was Jamie. Jamie was his childhood friend
''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.
