I glanced down and up again.Vera smiled, and sat down too," I know you are sorry, don't give me that look Selena!". she patted my hand." Thanks" I smiled back.“ You are forgiven, Sin no more” she said and we all laughed.She looked around then faced me " What about Lisa, I heard she came with you" " Yeah, she did, but she went to meet her lover " I replied and we all chuckled.“ She's so lucky, when will I ever get a lover?” Vera sighed.“ Noah Inman, he likes you!”I replied.“ Don't get me started with him,” Vera snorted.“ He really does,” Jasper add.“ I don't want to hear it” Vera covered her ears, which made us laugh.We ate, talked and I felt so happy I was forgiven, Vera told me all the stuff she was up to now. Jasper teased her on every statement and I couldn't help laughing out loud.After everything Jasper dropped me off at the hotel and I made my way inside only to find it empty. I placed a call to Lisa." You aren't back yet?" I asked." I won't, I'll spend the night w
Colin POV" Mr Rogers, the only model suitable for this game app launch is Selena Kings, will that be a problem?" " No it won't, Selena would definitely agree to work with me, She would never refuse my offer, she has and will always" I smiled at Mr inman." Alright, I should give Miss Kings a call..."" Mr Inman!" I heard Selena's Voice." Oh, Miss Kings is here" Mr Inman gestured to Selena, I looked at Paige then we both turned to face Selena.Staring straight at Selena, her face remained neutral with no expression." Miss Selena, come over" Mr Inman gestured for her to come over. She nodded, smiled and walked over. "Yes?" " Mr Rogers here and his girlfriend need a Game model for their Game app, it will be launched soon, I heard from my Assistant Rachael that you both had a talk previously about this Game app"" Yes, we did" “ And what was the outcome?”“ Nothing much, just the preparations,” Selena replied." Will you still go on with the project as his model?"Selena raised an
Selena POVPaige held Colin's arms all of a sudden after the talk and they walked out. I rolled my eyes then turned over to Mr Inman. " Miss Selena, like you demanded, I'll remind Mr Colin to send you the App link and a copy of the project file. So you can go through it and tell him what you think. And also after the launch you can upload on your Celebrity account and tell Your Followers more about the game app"." He wish!" I muttered to myself and smiled. " Sure, I'll take my leave now" Mr Inman nods.I made to leave when suddenly I heard a notification sound from my phone, I brought my phone out from my bag to check what it was, only to see a message from Lisa.[" We don't have any groceries in the kitchen nor simple meals in the fridge. You know what I mean "]After reading the message I sighed. I left IMG models and headed straight to the nearest supermarket. I arrived there, took a cart and head to the groceries section, picking the groceries that matter most. Selecting the be
" A hacker?" Jasper asked, the way he sounded showed how shocked he was. "For what?"" For...." I didn't want to say, Will telling Jasper about this help in any way? Won't he disagree by telling me to forget everything that happened." I want to hack something, that's it" I replied." I would need to know what you want to hack before I can recommend someone, aren't you going to tell me?" " Can't you just recommend someone?"." Nah, they are each hacker for each field, technology is broad. So....I'm waiting "" Okay, okay fine, It's about Colin. I need to get back at him for what he's done, and I need a technology hacker to help me."." For what he's done? You recall your memories?" " Yes, I did. I recall everything that happened. Right now, I'm Colin's New Game app model, I made him send me the game link and the game project file."" Fine, I'll send a hacker give me three minutes," Jasper replied and ended the call. Within 2 minutes, I got a text.[ Good day Miss, I got a Call from
I took out my phone " Do it now!". I texted.After the text, I placed my phone back into my bag and placed it aside." The downloads are up now, more downloads," Colin said loudly pointing at the total number of download checkers at the top of the big screen. From a thousand to Million people. “ Wow!” Colin's mouth agape and his smile became so bright. " More more!" He said out loud in applause as more youth kept clicking and Downloading the App using the link sent. The whole hall became so busy. I looked around and everyone fixed on their phones.After a few minutes the download was completed. " It's complete, Click on the start and verify your informations" Colin informed and the crowd nodded and fixed their eyes on their phones.Clicked on the start, information verified, the Game started. Showing on the big screen, " this is how it will be on your phones, you can Start playing the games now" Colin gestured to the crowd. Beep...beep... Everyone heard a sound, we all looked at th
Colin POV" I'm ruined" I yelled at the top of my voice, my livelihood was gone, I can't call Dad he won't even listen to me. Tired of drowning myself in Alcohol to forget my pain and my scattered reputation. Now sober I lay on the ground looking up at the ceiling. Then my Alarm ring signifying Paige Art Gallery opening. Slowly I stood up, I can't let them see me like this. Paige invited all our College course mate's and I can't let them see me at my lowest. I got to the bathroom, shaved my beards, shaved off excess hair and took my bath, making sure the smell of Alcohol was gone. My alarm rang again, signaling time up. I walked out the house to see David standing by the car. I'm broke now, lost my source of income, can't even pay my gas fee, and other fees, Thanks to David for his help. I hopped into the car and David zoomed off.David speeds through the city streets, and my mind raced with thoughts of how my life has been turned upside down. I don't know how I'll face my college
" I don't have you Manager's contact" Paige replied with an eyebrow raised.Selena took out her phone after a few click, she looked up, " sent" Within Seconds, Paige Phone alerted with a notification, Grace peeped at her phone. " Wow, The alert just came" she said loudly.Paige looked up at everyone then at Selena, " Nice doing business with you"." My pleasure!" Selena replied.After two hour of looking through several artwork, And lots of purchases made. Paige said out loud. " Let's go for my Opening outing, bills on me!" She said and everyone clapped. " This way everyone" she gestured." Will you come with us?" Sonia walked closer to Selena." Sure, I have to!" She replied.We all made our way out, and conversations continued, some telling jokes of one another while everyone laughed. I looked at Selena ahead as she kept laughing. " What is it?" David suddenly asked me but I shaked my head. " Nothing"." Here" Paige stopped at the front of a restaurant. " I made reservations, let
Selena POV" Do you still love Colin?" David asked, his eyes narrowed." Love Colin?" I asked in surprise, looked around and everyone nods. Love Colin?Selena do you still Love Colin? I ask myself, I looked in Colin's direction. But I felt nothing, like nothing, unlike before. is this an answer." Selena you haven't answered the question" David broke the silence bringing me out of my reverie." I can't say" I filled up a glass with wine and drank it in one shot." Another question,” Henry added.“ Okay” I nod.“Do you like someone else now?" Henry asked. I looked from my glass to Henry lost in a brief thought then I smiled. " I can't say" I filled up my glass again and drank it. Leaving everyone confused.The game continued, I was asked so many questions but I refused to answer any and drank up every glass. Gradually I felt tipsy, my eyes seeing triple, Everything was in three placing then it became a blur." Are you alright?" Someone tapped me." I'm....ju..st..fine" I replied laugh
Aviva POV My stomach fluttered as I stood there, still lost in the intensity of Levi's gaze. His words had hit me and had made my heart flutter, and I could feel blood rushing to my cheeks."I want you to know…." I trailed off and swallowed hard. "that I've never stopped thinking about you. I've missed you every day since we stopped talking, but I was too stubborn to admit it."We suddenly heard a door crack open and Levi quickly turned back and then faced me, " That might be my mom. She's on her way here to wish me good night. Can we meet tomorrow?""Sure," I stepped back, giving Levi some space, and tried to regain my composure. "Just tell me where and when."Levi glanced over his shoulder, listening for the sound of footsteps. "Meet me at the cafe downtown tomorrow at noon, We can talk more then."I nodded, and before I could say anything else, Levi leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to my cheek. "Goodnight, Aviva," he whispered, his breath tickling my skin. Levi turned to le
Aviva POVI gasped, shutting my mouth with my hands and pulled myself back into my room. I watched Levi step out of the car and glance over at our house. I can't let him see me. Dad had already issued his ultimatum and made it clear that I was on probation but still I refuse being on one. If Levi saw me trying to escape, he might try to help, and that would only make things worse. I held my breath and pressed myself against the wall, praying Levi wouldn't catch a glimpse of me through the window. After a few tense moments, I breathed a sigh of relief as Levi walked into their house ,probably not expecting me to be standing at the side of my window. The thought of Levi in town, just across the street, made me so excited. If only I could see him, talk to him, tell him what had happened. But that would be foolish, and I knew better. I stood in the darkened corner of my room, keeping a watchful eye on the street. It was getting really dark, and I found myself wishing for it to get very d
Aviva POVDad finally turned to look at me, his expression unreadable. For a long moment, he said nothing, simply staring at me as if he were trying to see into my very soul.At last, he spoke, his voice as hard and cold as steel. "Aviva, I hope you understand the seriousness of your actions today. Not only did you endanger yourself, but you also brought dishonor to our family name. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly feeling dry. "I'm sorry, Dad," I whispered, maybe this will defuse his anger, i bent my head, unable to meet his gaze so everything could die down. Dad's face remained expressionless, his gaze still fixed on me. "Sorry is not enough," he said flatly. "You need to understand that your actions have consequences. You were warned about associating with the Santos family, yet you deliberately disobeyed me. This will not be tolerated."I felt my heart sinking as I listened to his words, knowing that whatever punishment he had in sto
Aviva POVMom, clearly noticing my disheveled appearance, stepped forward and placed a hand on my arm. "Aviva, are you okay? What happened?" she asked.The Vice-Chancellor cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "I'm afraid there has been an altercation on campus," he began. "Both Aviva and Jeff Benson have been involved, they got into a fight, and there are consequences for their actions."Dad frowned, "What kind of consequences?" he demanded, But then turned to me, "Before that, Aviva, what happened? Why did you and Jeff…Ben get into a fight?"I swallowed hard, trying to find the right words. "He...he was being aggressive, and I tried to defend myself.""And why was he being aggressive?" my mother pressed, glancing at Jeff."Because..." I hesitated, knowing that the truth would only make the situation worse.Dad stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. "Because why, Aviva? Don't make me ask again."I bit my lip, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. "Because he was
Aviva POV"Yes, your parents. This incident must be reported to them, and to the school authorities."My heart pounded, "Follow me," the guard ordered, motioning for Jeff and I to follow him towards the administrative building. As we walked, I caught Jeff shooting me a glare.The security guard led us towards the administrative building,while my heart raced. I knew that once my parents found out about this incident, it wouldn't just be a matter of school gossip. They would be furious.I could picture my father's expression, his disappointment and anger. And my mom.. she would be heartbroken. They had always been so protective of me, and now this.Jeff walked a few steps ahead of me, silent and sullen. I could feel his eyes glancing back at me, but I kept my gaze fixed on the ground.With each step towards the administrative building, my pounds. It wasn't just the thought of getting in trouble with the school authorities that terrified me, it was the thought of my parents finding out a
Aviva POV For a month I heard nothing about Levi, I tried his contact but it wasn't reachable, I got Sam's contact and asked him about Levi but he said nothing and told me he has nothing to say to me. " what do you mean you have nothing to say to me, i really want to know about Levi i haven't heard from him for a month" " That's none of my concern Aviva or whatever you are called" Sam snapped, " You messed with Levi and now you want to know about him, what audacity!" I stared at the screen of my phone, stunned by Sam’s words. How could he just brush me off like that? I know I made a mistake. Despite Sam’s hostility, I decided to keep trying to find out what's up with Levi. I strolled out the house and waited at our gate staring at the Santos house waiting to see if I would catch sight of Levi but I didn't for a week. One evening i waited, staring at the Santos house when I saw the house help walk out with a trash bag. Immediately I came out and followed her from behind, when she
Levi POV"Are you serious?" I asked, glancing around, "Just because Jeff Benson wants something, doesn't mean he will get it. Aviva is a person, not some prize to be won."Sam shrugged, clearly unconvinced. "Look, I'm just telling you how it is. Jeff is the king of this place right now. If he wants Aviva, he'll get her. And once he does, she'll forget all about you." "You don't know Aviva like I do, Sam. She's not some shallow girl who can be bought with money or status and besides her Dad is rich."“ Oh come on, who doesn’t want to have fun with the big guys?” “ She isn’t like that!”Sam shook his head, “I get that you're all in on this, but you need to open your eyes, man. Aviva might be special to you, but she's just another conquest to Jeff. He'll get bored of her in a week and move on to the next girl, and you'll be left picking up the pieces."I scoffed, ignoring Sam's words. "You don't know what you're talking about. Aviva is different. She won’t allow that, I trust her with
Levi POV"I thought you'd be excited about this opportunity, Levi. The program is for gifted students in Tech, and it's a chance for you to further your education in the States. It's a prestigious program, and not everyone gets in."I swallowed hard. "But I...I don't want to go."Mom's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why not? This is a great opportunity, Levi. It could open up so many doors for you and like you always say, you want to work on things yourself without your dad’s help, this is it."I shook my head. "I just…"I just don't want to leave," I said firmly, my eyes meeting Mom's. "I have my life here, my friends, my studies. And while I appreciate the opportunity, it's not what I want right now.""Levi, are you sure about this? This could be a life changing opportunity for you.""I know, Mom," I replied, "But I'm happy with the life I have here. I don't want to uproot everything for this program."Mom's expression hardened as she realized I wasn't budging. "Levi, you're being inc
Levi POVQuickly I turned, taking a step to the restroom so I could inform Aviva my mom is here, "Levi!" I heard my name and slowly turned, forcing a smile. " Mom!" "Hey, Mom," I said, the smile still frozen on my face. "What are you doing here?" "Oh, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by for a visit. It's so nice to see you, honey."I glanced nervously toward the restroom, wondering what Aviva would say if she saw Mom here. "That's great, Mom. But I should probably get back to class..."Mom shook her head, putting a hand on my arm. "Don't be silly, Levi. I was hoping we could spend some time together," Mom said, her smile turning into a gentle pout. "I haven't seen you in weeks! You've been so busy with school and everything else."I sighed, knowing I couldn't say no to Mom. "Okay, okay. Maybe just for a little while."Mom beamed, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and leading me away from the restroom and toward a table. I beat her to it and sat on the chair faci
