I scroll through when all of a sudden a post pump up, Staring at the post I saw Paige, dressed up with several accessories on and with the caption wild life. " Wild life?" I exclaimed, immediately I sent Rachel a text message. " Has Paige paid the cash for the artworks and the mobs?" I sent it." Yes she did, I forgot to inform you" she replied." If she has paid her debt, how then is she having a nice life?" My eyes glanced around, why didn't my plan work? At this point she should be Living in the street, why having a wild life?I sat up wondering Why Paige wasn't suffering like I wanted her to? "Does Paige have any other sources of income? She seems to be doing just fine." I sent and waited impatiently for a response, gnawing on my lip as I pondered the possibilities."I don't know," Rachel replies. "Maybe she inherited money or somethi

Colin POVI ran through the airport, pushing while getting pushed by people and Luggages carts, while I ran along the crowded path to the Arrival gate.“Flight BA2480 will be arriving now.” The announcement echoes through the bustling airport, my heart race, my breaths coming in short, sharp gasps as I push my way through the crowds. Sweat trickles down the side of my face, my eyes fixed on the arrival gate, where I spot the first passengers coming out.Pushing my way to the front of the gate, I scan the faces of the disembarking travelers, "Where are they?” my eyes darting from one face to another.Just as my hope begins to dwindle, I spot two familiar faces, Mom and Dad staring at the floor while dragging their luggages with them. Mom is looking so slim now, so is dad. I covered my face to wipe the tears on my face before they saw me. Sniffling my tears In." Mom, Dad!" I called out as soon as they walk out. Dad and mom raised their faces to see me, Mom smiled but Dad frowned.I ru

" Mom it's nothing, go get some rest" “ But I think I heard….”“Mom please!” I said in anger." Okay, okay!"

I’m I so unpresentable to you, “ Olivia we had nothing together, all we had was sex on few occasions that's it!” “ On few occasions? Can you hear yourself speak?

Colin POV" Waiter!" I heard Selena's voice.I can't turn, I can't let her see my face, slightly I turned a little stretching the drink tray to her to pick one." Not this, the one at the other edge" she points.I took one from the other end of the tray and stretched it to her direction with my face off. " Not...." she was about saying.When someone's shoulder hit mine again, shaking the tray of drinks, I try to settle it down but it was too late as the drinks fell to the ground. The females in the hall gasps, I looked up to see everyone's eyes on me." Are you okay?" I heard Jasper's voice, I glance over to see him pulling Selena from the area the glass fell.Jasper raised his head to look at me but I quickly avert my gaze, only to see the manager running over." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he bent down apologizing to everyone.With eyes away, he steps closer to me. "How dare you? Do you know how much these are worth?" He pulled my nose masks away.I tried covering my face but it was too l

The advanced payments were made to me last night which came as a shock to me, well it's a way to make me serious with my work.After dressing up, I walked to the lobby, where I saw the receptionist and some staffs talking. I walked closer smiling as they compliment me on how the Manager suit fits me so well than the previous manager." The boss is around" one of the staff suddenly changed the topic." The Boss?" I asked, unable to understand what they meant." Yes the Boss, owner of JP hotels, he came in last night, I guess for the new year holiday." She add staring at everyone's face."

I sent some of it to mom, if I refuse this job how will I pay back?As ordered, I asked the staff, who showed me the VIP swimming pool and things I need to get ready.I prepared drinks and snacks as well as a shade from the sun as I sat there waiting, after an hour I heard footsteps and talks. I looked in the direction to see Selena in a Red bikini, she looks breathtaking and I couldn't take my eyes off her, recalling the times we had together and I almost lost control of myself. Still staring at her, Jasper placed his arm around her waist as he glared at me. My face flush as I quickly avert my gaze.
