“Where the hell are you?” His voice booms on the other side. “You were with Stacy, she is back and you are not yet back.”

This has gone over board. Who does he think he is to shout at me?

“Stop shouting at me.” I give Aiden a glance and look away.

“I will do whatever I damn please! You are my employee. You should be here like the rest.”

“I did my part sir. I thought my job was cleaning your room and the study?”

Aiden shakes his head and stands. He takes my phone from my ear and presses it on his.

“What do you want Mr. Jones? Frankie is with me and it’s not her working time.” He is angry. How I wish I can love him.

“Of course not. We have just made our orders so I’m afraid you will have to wait.”

Why is he this exasperating?

“Great. I told you I want to take Frankie out of this predicament. That’s what we are talking about.”

He listens for a while and nods at the waitress who has already brought our food.

“Will bring her once we are done. In the meantime, stop nagging her.” He hangs u

    My alarm goes off making me groan in frustration. I reach for my phone sleepily and snooze it. I don’t like this. I'm still sleepy but I can’t afford to continue sleeping because my boss is a jerk. I struggle to open my eyes and get out of bed sleepily. I strip naked and walk into the bathroom. I turn the faucet on and let the cold water drip down my body. It helps me wake up completely.This place sucks. My boss sucks and I can’t afford to be late. I take a quick shower and walk out of the bathroom.I style my hair into a neat ponytail and put on the sucking uniform. I look at myself in the mirror and walk out. I walk down the hallway and into the kitchen, widening my eyes at the person seated on one of the bar stools.It’s Amara. What is she doing here? How did she get here? “Good morning sweetheart? Look like you have seen a ghost.” She says with a sneer. She crosses her legs and gives me a grin. A goofy grin.“Good morning too. What are you doing here?” I ask moving to the count

    We look up to see Amara glaring at us. Stacy squeezes my shoulder assuringly and lets me go. She stands and glares back at the bitch. The David bitch.“What are you doing here?”“Wanted to see how my sister-in-law and my help are doing. Then I walked in to this.” She grins shamelessly.“So what do you want?”“You two are meant for each other. I should have read the signs. She is definitely gay too.”“Yes. I am. What’s your point? " I ask standing too.“Nothing.”“Great. Coz I want you to get out of my room!” I snap glaring at her.“This is Trey’s house. He owns every room in here. He is my man and you can’t throw me out.”“You are such a bitch!” I make to hurl myself at her but Stacy restrains me.“No need swiry.” She turns to smile at Amara. “How does it feel to know that he is in love with her?”“He isn’t. Trey doesn’t settle for less.”“Why was he in here? Do you know what he is doing?” she chuckled. “He is using you to make Frankie jealous.”“No. She is ugly and cheap.”“Well. See

    He leads me up the stairs to the first floor and through a door leading to the balcony.“Who are you?”“You don’t know me.” He says and pulls his mask off. I have never seen him before but who am I kidding? I don’t know the people in Trey’s circle.“So?”“Saw what the lady did to you. I know she can be mean. Looked miserable and I wanted to get you out of there. I’m Abel.”“Thanks a lot. I’m Frankie.”“What are you doing being a help at Mr. Jones house? You should be somewhere else.”“Like?”“Like in my company. I have openings beautiful.”“Didn’t make it to college.”“That’s not an issue. I’m sure there is something you can do. Unless you are interested in continuing working here.”“Nope. I don’t want to be here but some circumstances made me do that.”“Great.” He digs into his pocket and takes out his wallet. He takes a business card and hands it to me. “call me.”“Abel holdings?”“Yap. That’s my company. Trey is my friend.”“Great. Thanks.” I say and notice another masked guy wal

    TREYStacy shouts making me focus on Frankie’s legs. Blood is flowing down her legs and has already formed a small pool around her.“Baby!” I shout and make huge steps towards her. She gives me a tired look and screams. Oh God! What is happening? Why is there blood? “Here.” I push Stacy aside and snake an arm around her knees, wrapping the other arm below her neck.“Call Eddie.” I'm panicking.“No need. We will use my car.” Aiden says and runs out, with me and Stacy following behind. I have no time to argue.My woman is hurt. The woman I love is bleeding and is in pain and I don’t know why. How did this happen? So she wasn’t faking the pain? I should have known. I should not have been harsh on her.“The keys Stan.” Aiden orders and opens the back door. I step in with Frankie still in my arms. Stacy hops into the shotgun and Aiden pulls out of the driveway.“Stay with me baby.” I beg her and shut my eyes. Is this some sort of a dream?“Can you drive faster than this?” I ask. I’m beco

    I lean against the hospital wall and slide until I’m seated on the floor. Stacy does the same and takes my hands in hers.“I have lost her completely. I have lost the woman I love.”“You should have listened to me. You acted angrily and see where we are. You have lost your baby and Frankie.”“I'm such an ass.” I run my hands on my face and swallow bitterly. “I hurt her because of money.”“All will be okay. She will get through this but don’t abandon her. Don’t give up on her. She is worth fighting for.”“She hates me. She doesn’t want anything to do with me.”“All that will pass. Let’s go home. The event is still ongoing.”“Fuck the event Stacy. What matters is in there.”“Give her time Trey. You can’t stay if she doesn’t want you to.” She stands and holds out her hand to me. She helps me up and leads me out of the hospital. We came here in Aiden’s car so we have to take a cab.Why am I like this? Why did I hurt her this bad? All for what? Six million dollars? It’s nothing compared t

I had vowed to take care of my baby. That’s why I chose being a help in Trey’s house. Didn’t want to go to prison and now this happened.I’m going to live at Aiden’s place until I get a place of my own. I don’t want to go back to Friends. That place gives me bad memories. As long as Jim is okay, then I’m okay too. He is all I have left.The door opens and Aiden walks in with red roses. He walks towards me with a smile and gives me the flowers.“For you.”“They are so beautiful. Thanks.”“Anytime.” He pulls me to him for a hug and lets me go almost immediately.“I'm so glad you are coming home today.”“It’s just for a month. I will then look for a place of my own.”“You don’t have to. I’m going back to Paris for business.”“What about your sister?”“Amara has her place. She isn’t supposed to step foot

    TREYI shift on the bed uncomfortably and scoff in irritation. I have lost count of how much turning I have done so far. I can’t sleep. I don’t remember the last time I slept well. Reason?Frankie Thomas. It’s a whole week since I heard from her. Since she left with Aiden David. The guy I hate so much took my woman. It’s my fault. I'm to blame for all this.My calls go unanswered. She doesn’t text me back no matter the countless texts I have sent her. She even changed her number but I managed to get it.I’m not giving up on her. Trey Jones doesn’t give up on something he wants and Frankie happens to be one of them. She brought the best in me. She made me happy. She made me change in some aspects and now I have lost her because of Greg. He just brought out the worst in me and as I said before, he is going to pay. Even if I do that with the last penny, he is worth it.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and dial Aiden’s number. This is business. I know he is interested in Greg to

    FRANKIEI'm busy with some document when I catch a whiff of some expensive, familiar cologne. I look up to see Trey looking down at me and sigh heavily.“What are you doing here Trey?”“I wanted to know how you are doing. I miss you.”“Apart from the fact that the man I loved most in the world killed my baby, I’m okay.” I say with I glare. I don’t know what I feel. Some mixed feelings where I don’t know whether I hate him or love him. I’m angry. Furious with him for what he did but I still have strong feelings for him. There is that slight hope that all this is a nightmare and I will wake up from it. I don’t want to believe this is true. No. It’s a dream and will be over soon.“Baby I’m sorry. Give me another chance. I wanna make you happy. I wanna make you the envy of other women. Give you the life you deserve. One last chance, please.”“Unfortunately, you ran out of those chances. What makes you think I didn’t do the illegal business knowingly.”“I know you didn’t. I should have

    I widen my eyes at the man standing before us. “Dad?” Jim and I call in unison. I look at Trey who raises his brow at me and shifts his confused gaze to Greg or if you prefer Joe. He is my father. My dead-beat father and I wonder why he changed his name. So he is the man behind my suffering? I know he was when I was a kid but here we are. I'm grown up yet he still made me suffer. I lost my baby because of him. Because of the shameless man standing before us, who I hate with my whole being.“Wait.” Trey is so confused. “Greg is your dad?”“Nope.” Jim is quick to deny.“Come on Jim. You know I am.” I don’t know whether I should call him Greg, Joe or dad. I'm so confused.“Isa?” he calls stepping towards me. I step back and Trey holds me steadily.“Don’t call my name. You have no right!” I snap at him and look around. I notice Abel approaching us.“I have been looking for you Isa. I miss my daughter.”“Maybe you are talking about a different daughter. All you did was make our lives mis

    It's Saturday; the day we are supposed to be going to Abel’s gala event. It has been an eventful week. Aiden and Jenny were arrested. They are still locked up and they are going to be locked up for a long time.Abel and Sera can’t keep their hands off each other. Sera is now working at one of Trey’s company. She wasn’t aware of the issue with fake drugs. Trey had Andrews security footage checked and it turned out that Sera was delivering the drugs but they were taken away once she left. It ruled out our suspicions of her involvement.Jim?He lives with us now and is also working at Trey’s company. I slip into some knickers and put on a necklace. The same necklace that Trey gave me on Monday. I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself with a smile. This is now my life. A life full of servants, a big house, expensive clothes and jewelry. It’s funny how one’s life can change this much. Months ago, I was so hopeless, no hope for the future. I was a waitress in some local club,

    FRANKIETrey is here. I knew he would find me. I try to breath but Aiden’s grip on my neck makes it impossible for me. I look at Trey hoping that he will get me out of here. His gaze is full of pity, fear and anger. He makes one step forward but stops when Aiden tightens the grip making me groan with pain.“Make another step and I will slit her throat!” He threatens.This is a new Aiden. I didn’t expect this from him. Didn’t expect such a monster. And now he is holding a knife on my neck. Eddie, Kevin and Abel’s bodyguard have their guns pointed at him.“Let her go and you can have me.” Trey tries to reason with him. “I’m not a fool asshole! I won’t let her go until you do what I want.”“What do you want?”“Everything you have. I could have had that if it were not for this bitch!” “She is not to blame. What do you want exactly ?”“Your everything. I want you to go down. Thought you would after the fake drugs thing.”“What do you mean?”“You think Greg was responsible for that alone

    TREYFrankie has taken long in the washrooms. Maybe she is not yet done but it’s been over twenty minutes. I look at the washroom direction and look at Abel and Sera.“Frankie is taking long.”“Yeah. I will go and check.” Sera offers.“Nope. I will go check whether she is okay.” I pull my stool back and stand. I walk towards the ladies’ and open the door but there is one lady, who is looking at herself in the mirror. She sees me and glares at me.“It’s the ladies’.” She says rudely.“I know. Are you alone here?” I ask looking around. All the toilets are unoccupied “Yap.” She answers and goes back to what she was doing.Where is Frankie? Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Why am I this unsettled?I open the door and step out. I look around but there is no sign of her. I should probably look for her outside. Maybe she went out for some fresh air.I walk out of the restaurant and look around. My eyes scan the area but there is no sign of her. I decide to ask around and walk to a

    Do those two know each other? Or did they team up after their rejection? Because that’s the only possible explanation you can get for their being here together.“Are you okay?” Trey asks in a whisper.“Yeah. I'm okay.” I answer and gulp down the wine in my glass.“Maybe we should move to the bar.” Abel suggests.“Yap.” Trey says and stands up. He holds out his hand and leads me to the bar, pulling a bar stool for me. I give him a smile and sit. He sits next two me, while Abel and Sera sit directly opposite us.“What are you taking?”“Some wine will do. I’m working tomorrow remember?” He smiles and goes ahead to give our orders to the waitress.I can’t stop thinking about Aiden and Jenny? Are those up to something nasty? Was Trey right about Aiden? Because he has warned me to stay away from him a couple of times. Does it mean he is not who I think he is?No. I’m just being paranoid. They may be together but it doesn’t mean they are up to no good. Maybe they are talking about something

    FRANKIEIt’s Monday again. My worst day in a week, especially after such a busy weekend. A weekend full of partying, where Trey introduced me to his world.I moved in with him, something Aiden didn’t take lightly but he later accepted it. At least, that’s what I think.I’m busy with a file on the computer when I hear some footsteps approaching. I look up and widen my eyes at a grinning Sera.“Sera!” I stand to hug her.“So this is where my bitch has been hiding?”“Yes. What’s up? Didn’t expect to see you this early.”“It’s one hour to lunch swiry. It’s not that early. Just missed you.”“Missed you too.” I lead her to some seats, grinning at her.“This is your new life? Look at you all girlish. Expected some tomboy look.”“I had to change my look. The new job dictated so. What have you been up to?”“Dre disappeared, I don’t know where to and his number is out of service. I’m back to waiting tables at Lex.”“There is something I have to tell you.”“What? Are you okay?”“Yeah but a lot h

    TREYI turn on the bed and open my eyes. Frankie is not in bed. She is probably in the kitchen or with Stacy and Celine. There is something I’m scared of.Losing her again. I don’t want to lose her. I want her with me forever. I don’t want Aiden to come in between us. I shouldn’t be worried about him taking her away from me because I’m the one she loves but I have to be careful. He wanted to poison her mind. He wants her, not because he loves her but wants to punish me. He knows she is my weakness. That I will do anything for her but I’m not letting him do that. He will never have her. She spent the night with me, not him. She told me that she loves me so meaning she is mine but I have to get Aiden out of the way first.That’s why I stepped out last night. I went to see Abel. Needed some advice from him on how I should do that and we came up with a plan. I just have to keep her away from him until our plan works.I step out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and s

    He cups my boobs and kisses my hair.“Waiting baby.”“Don’t do that. I won’t concentrate.” I say knowing well what he does to me.“Okay.” He chuckles and uncups my boobs wrapping his arms around me.“My real name is Isa.”“Isa? What about Frankie?”“Frankie is my street name. I changed the name when mum died and I had to go to the streets.”“I’m sorry baby.”“Don't be.” I rub his arms and take a deep breath. “I come from a poor background. I know what it means to go hungry. My dad was a drunkard who would come home drunk and beat mum up. My brother, Jim, couldn’t take it and ran away. I had no idea where he was until few months ago when he came to Lex looking all shaggy.”I pause to let it sink in.“One day, dad came home drunk. I heard a scream and went to protect mum but he hit me and left angry. He came back later and got into an argument with mum then stabbed her.” I swallow heavily. Trey rubs my arms and raises my right hand. He kisses the knuckles and takes a sharp breath.“He

    She swirls the drink in her glass glaring at me. Am I going to fight with her over Trey? Nope. I don’t wanna do this.“Jenny, right?” My voice is laced with sarcasm. “What do you want?”“For you to stay away from Trey. You don’t belong to our class.”I can’t believe she has the audacity to tell me this. There has never been anything between her and Trey.“Oh! Really now?”“Yap. Stop throwing yourself at him. He doesn’t love you. That’s why he made you his help. Go back to Aiden. You are better off working as a help.”“I can see you know a lot about me.” I take a sip of my margarita and look at her, with amusement.“Leave this party. I will pay you. I will give you any amount you want to leave Trey alone. He belongs to people like us. People with class and you are not part of our word.”“I see.” I chuckle and take another sip of my drink.“How much do you need to disappear? Name your price.”“So you are serious about this?” I laugh and cross my legs.“Yap. I want Trey and you are in t
