French Rose Chapter 7
Alex Coleman, daughter of famous actress and model Stacy Coleman, was publicly insulted by Christina King, daughter of Dylan and Diana King during William Aubert's party earlier today. The model claimed it had been a peaceful conversation between the two before Christina King proudly mocked her for being the daughter of a woman who, not only was once her father's secretary but also got pregnant for a man unknown to the public. In witness's words, the young entrepreneur had called her a bastard, pauper and filth during their conversation while Alex had tried to apologize for any inconveniences caused by her. It later ended up in Alex storming out of the party and Christina a few minutes after. Earlier tonight, Alex twitted 'My conversation with @theofficialchristinaking was never as I imagined it to be as I've always thought of our relationship to be based on friendship and nothing more. If I caused any unnecessary drama, I'm sorry to everyone that had to face that. A lot of you have

The next day rolled in faster than I thought. The conversation I had with almost everyone in my family ended up in what we all expected, pity. They all believed me and mom, who never liked Alex or her mom, fumed in anger after I explained everything. If it wasn't for dad's peaceful attitude, something worse may have happened as a result. I didn't think I would see mom so mad, I thought they would see something wrong in what I did. She proceeded to explain how Stacy Coleman, Alex's mother, spilled orange juice during her first visit to Nigeria. Then, Stacy still had this crush on dad and apparently didn't like mom cause she was getting in the way. Sounds like a classic high school drama but I see where it comes from. Besides during parties, Stacy and I didn't talk much. Our conversations were limited to her giving me a smile and admiring my dress which only lasted for ten seconds or less. Hating someone for reasons assumed by people or me without confirming myself wasn't my kind of

"I got her when I was twelve and dyed her fur yellow cause she loves the color. I wanted to name her yellow but I had six other cats with the same name so I dyed her fur pink and named her pink. Then I got another cat a week later. She had the whitest fur with beautiful blue eyes. Looking at her for the first time, she took a large chunk of my heart so after a few minutes, I named her Michael Jackson""Is it legal to dye cats? Or to have this insane amount of them?" I flipped through the picture book, seeing one by one all the cats she had in her possession. It only made me wonder what her house would look like and how much work she kept into maintaining these things. Bathing, feeding and every other thing wouldn't just take time but also a lot of money.I couldn't take care of myself, let alone take care of another creature. "Of course it is. Besides, animal control comes every once in a while to check on them and they're always fine""And the cost of maintaining?""It's not that ex

We were on our way to Leo's house after minutes, if not an hour long of talking about the footage. I understood his situation and mine even better. If he gave it to me, he would risk his relationship with Alex and things might just end up being bad for him but I, if I got it and uploaded it then it would mean the tables would immediately turn. The truth would finally be out and I become the good guy. Easy and simple but the problem is that one of us had to sacrifice one thing for the happiness of the other. Hear me out, it's not like I emotionally blackmailed him or anything. It was just a casual conversation, nothing more. Although, I wanted it real bad, I never forced him into it. After my first sentence, it didn't look like he was ready for anything like that and that was the first hint it would take a lot more work than was originally planned. I didn't make him feel bad for not helping me and told him it was totally fine if he wanted it that way. It wasn't until after our talk in

Then it was my turn to face her, something I wish could've happened just a few hours later. At least after I posted the video footage on all my social media platforms so she would have to look at me with shame rather than the confidence she had on her face. I could've felt annoyed by her presence but I couldn't feel the tiniest bit of anger in me. All I had was happiness cause whatever I'd spend the day in was finally going to end and hopefully, I'd finally get out of the place. Leo broke the silence by clearing his throat "Alex?""So why did you tell me to come over? For her? Are you kidding me?""I did this as an opportunity to help you both set your differences aside""This isn't two high school girls in front of a principal, we don't need to set out differences aside. So what you're saying is that I wasted my time all for her?"Sometimes it's nice to see the way things are before the tables get turned and that's exactly what was unfolding right in front of me. I just thought of h

It took only a minute or less after I posted the footage that my phone, including Leo's and Alex's, started buzzing against the table. Besides Alex, it wasn't much of a surprise to anyone on the table. I had a sick smile on my face as I played with the heavy fork in between my fingers like the stepsister from a teen romcom while Leo went on with his meal like nothing happened. I'd never felt better than I did that night, I could just feel the energy rushing through my veins with each loud buzz. With my head feeling like it could pop from excitement at any second, I tried my best to hold in a smile. But yeah, I failed. What else did you expect? I could only try to get my cheeks pink, not the red almost-looking-like-a-bruise color evident on it. I mean, I could tell she already knew something was going on and if she knew me better, she better be scared of it. Definitely, it was my first time doing something like that and yes, it felt great. Amazing even. "Oh" I started "I wonder what

Alex Coleman"Leo literally gave her the video mom and we were so close to the camera, everyone heard the whole conversation" Shaky breaths escaped my lips as my sweaty palms made contact with my forehead. I detached it the moment I realized I had caked my face with make up and just as I expected, my fingertips were covered with foundation. I could've been worried I had my fingers printed on my face but I couldn't worry about anything besides my reputation and how it was crashing down before me. I couldn't turn on my phone or glance at the screen, it was just a reminder of how bad things had got and how much hate I was getting. The first thing I saw was a message from Georgia telling me I had to see the video. Besides my mom, she was the only one who knew how much I hated the Kings and why I did. In fact, she planned the whole thing to ruin Christina's reputation and I didn't hesitate before going with the plan. It was finally an opportunity to get revenge for all her parents did to

"Dad?"First Alex storms off and leaves me to deal with guilt, then due to circumstances I had to show off my poor cooking skills to Leo and now, my dad shows up unexpectedly looking like a spy from am action filled movie. Just to be sure, I've only been there for probably an hour and this much has happened. Not that we were doing anything bad or something but we both awkwardly froze after I let out the word 'Dad' and for seconds, we stood there like statues, not moving a single muscle. We weren't too close, there was at least a three feet distance between us which was safe enough to not be mistaken as whatever it is dad thought was going on. Whatever, no form of explanation could wipe that look off my father's face. Even if he was here when it all started, he'd still go all protective and give a million reasons why I was either too young for romance, how having a boyfriend is a terrible idea or how the boy in question was bad news. Either ways, he just didn't like the idea of me ev

French Rose Chapter 30
Christina KingWho would've expected Alex to invite me to her house? I got there about thirty minutes ago and while thinking of how awkward the conversation was going to be, waited in her sitting room. I couldn't just help but notice how everything in the building was fancy, you wouldn't spot a speck of dust on the table or a single stain on the white tiles. Everything was made to perfection and I, not being used to stuff like that, had to make myself the neatest and most disciplined I could be. Just imagine me walking out of her house after breaking her mom's favourite vase. Anyways, the wait was not too long like I thought it would be. I only stayed about five to ten minutes before I saw her walking towards me. It was that moment things started to get a little weird. I did know which to do, smile or just stare and before you come at me, imagine standing face to face with someone you wouldn't spend a minute with. I didn't know if it was her regular look without make up but Alex l
French Rose Chapter 29
Christina KingThis is one of the moments in my life where I have to make a decision that changes literally everything. I never texted Alex for a very obvious reason and I only had her number because my mom forced me to. Ever since, I had it saved on my phone and never used it, not even once. She also had mine and never texted me either so I guess it was just something neutral. I never imagined that this day would come, when I would pick up my phone myself and be the first to text. To me, it really didn't matter who did it first. It's not like I hated her or anything, we just never got along well from childhood and I guess the foundation of our friendship was broken even before it started. What I was about to do could mean a lot of things on her side and I was supposed to but I didn't care anymore. I was very sure Alex wouldn't want to bring up any reason to make me feel worse about myself after hearing I knew what happened between she and Lucas. I wasn't bringing it up as a threat
French Rose Chapter 28
Christina King. When Lucas came in with my food, I couldn't look at him the way I used to. I didn't hate him, neither did I believe all Leo said but the atmosphere was different. There were equal possibilities of it being true and not but either ways, I couldn't look at him the same and I wouldn't till I got to the bottom of the matter. Lucas looked like he couldn't hurt a fly. Why would someone like him be tangled in a mess related to violence? I didn't want to believe it but at the same time, Leo wasn't a liar either and even if he was, why would he put so much into lying against a simple chef? It was very obvious in the way I acted that something was wrong. I was quiet when he placed it beside me and things got very awkward when he stood there and stared down at me. I didn't know what to say and at that point, I just wished Leo didn't tell me any of what I heard earlier. "He told you I hurt you, didn't he?""Lucas, I don't know what to say. This is too much for me to handle. Ho
French Rose Chapter 27
Christina KingI've never been more embarrassed in my life. I just knew she was up to something, I should've realised it when I saw that smile on her face. Out of all things to do, this just happened to be the one she found would hurt me the most, bringing Leo up to my room when I was barely ready. A big thank you to Hailey for doing this, she just made me realise I should keep my door lock every single minute. Looking at the bright side, I may have my face swollen and discolored but at least I had a dress on."Christina, what happened to you" Leo rushed to where I was, blocking my view of Hailey's smirk. That was the last i saw of her before she left my doorstep. "You're in my way" Leo's tone may have been a little too harsh when he told Lucas to move and it was very obvious Lucas wasn't happy with it, his face showed it and just then, he turned away and left the room. I felt a pinch in my chest seeing him leave with that emotion on his face. I didn't know everything about him but
French Rose Chapter 26
Christina KingThere's seven of them, I can't do it. The teenagers weren't the problem. They may look very identical and act a little weird but they were harmless. At least, with what I've seen. The toddler too wasn't the problem, all he did was smile and giggle all day. The real problem is Hailey, who I've done absolutely nothing to but for one reason, doesn't like me. I wasn't sure of Jenifer either. Even though I cleared things with her, I was still worried she could find another reason to revenge. Kyle happened to be the one to help Harley execute her evil plans and he knew well it was for me so he could do it again. I enjoyed living alone or with a very few people that didn't come in my way. It could get boring sometimes and I may be unproductive but that's my way. I thought Mr Susan was going to forget about it, the same way I did but there they were, all seven of them. If it means I'd have to leave the house, I would. Besides, that was already looking like the only possible o
French Rose Chapter 25
Christina King. It was past ten and I was back in the comfort of my room. Hours in the house of the Susan's felt like a year. Every single thing in that house was out to get me. The children were pranksters and they were very good at it. If all went the way they planed, I could've had my meal explode in front of me, the chair beneath me break and not just that, I could've also been escorted by Jenifer to her room where the worst would've happened. At the end of the day, I missed every single one of them and that was enough to put a smile on my face. I didn't see Harley after she angrily left the table earlier. I got back downstairs with my face and dress cleaned, met everyone else having ice cream which was weird cause I literally left a few minutes ago but whatever and finally, I didn't get to have my steak or ice cream cause things just happened to go my way. After dinner, we spent just a few minutes before we left and that was about two hours ago. The drive home was fast cause
French Rose Chapter 24
Christina King. These are one of the very few shocking moments of my life. I'd experienced something like this once and then, the damage was already done before anyone got the chance to tell me I wasn't supposed to touch the food. It was one of the snowy days back at home and my mom declared a prank war. Now, that wasn't the first time it was happening. It usually occurred frequently at home, maybe once in two months or whenever they both argued about a very unnecessary topic. I don't know how, but it would result in a prank war and those are the times when you had to watch literally every thing before you touch or step on it. Bathroom, kitchen, yard, no where is excluded. I never paid much attention to it and besides staying away from them throughout the whole period, nothing affected me till one very day. I sat to enjoy a bowl of mac and cheese. Not knowing it wasn't meant for me but for my dad, I pulled out a fork and yes, you guessed it right, it exploded. That was the only ti
French Rose Chapter 23
Christina KingAnother dose of daily embarrassment but this time, i'm proud to say it wasn't my fault. You might say there's nothing to feel ashamed about since I fell on my butt in front of my dad and a man in oversized clothes and honestly, that's exactly what I thought before I looked up and saw seven other people. Not to mention, three of them were trying to squeeze in their laugh and were failing at it. This is the moment where you do something extremely stupid and act like it never happened. I bounced back on my feet and smiled awkwardly at all seven of them. I don't know why exactly I did that since it just made me feel even worse but I did. I looked back at dad and Mr Susan and they were feet away from me, still chatting. None offered to help me back up or a utter a simple 'sorry'. There you have it guys, gentlemen. "Hi"It was a high pitched voice, like that of a six year old, and it came from behind me. I turned around and saw one of the seven that stared at me and yes,
French Rose Chapter 22
"So let me get this straight, you want me to go dress up?""Yes""But" I paused and spent seconds thinking of all I remembered but nothing came through. Literally, nothing. I knew he was talking, I would jump in once in a while and would see his mouth moving and that was it. What I did remember was that he said something about manners and I guess that's where I zoned out. I just couldn't afford to go through all of that "Why?""Because I told you to""I still don't get it""Sunshine, did you pay attention to any of what I said?""I don't think so""Fine" He sighed "I'm only going to say this one last time and if you don't pay attention, you'll get grounded""Umm, not to be rude or anything but I'm eighteen. I'm a grown woman now. A fully matured one""Umm, not to be rude or anything but you don't look like one. You don't act like one either""I'll walk away_""That's not the point, we're both having diner at the Sullivan's tonight and you need to look good on your own""First, what do
