Joan led Erica back into the room and helped her sit on her bed
Erica looked up at Joan's face and scoffed.
"You brought me home?" Erica asked sounding a little tipsy and suprised.
Joan nodded sitting beside her "I did..."
Erica nodded "what about Sarah?"
Joan shurgged "from the look of things, Sarah seemed to be very busy with somethings at the bar, so since I am your sister.... I was in a better position to get you out of there...."
Erica nodded slightly with her mind engaged in deep thoughts "I see...."
Joan cleared her throat.
"You really want to know the truth Erica? I really don't get it" Joan said
Erica still felt very weak.
She rubbed her hand on her forehead "what is it that you don't get?"
"Why would a beautiful lady like you get drunk in a bar?" Joan asked.
Erica sighed "I really don't want to discuss this Joan."
Joan reached out for Erica's hand, she held it rubbing her
Joan giggled."I just wanted her to feel half of the pain she made me feel years back" she said.Liam scoffed."Really? Is she that bad?" He asked.Joan shurrged "you really don't want to know do you? Meanwhile thanks a lot for a job well done.He nodded "you're welcome, I should be on my way now."Liam stands on his feet.Sarah walked into the restaurant looking around.It was a beautiful saturday morning.She gasped on seeing Joan and Liam together."What are my eyes seeing?" She arched her brow walking closer to them.Joan gaped on seeing her, she sighed."Sarah... how are you doing?" She asked feeling a little nervous.Liam looked away."You!!!" Sarah yelled pointing at Liam.Liam looked up at her, his eyes widened."What have I done?" He asked."Did you just ask me what you have done?" She screamed walking even more closer to him.People around turned to
Joan hired Liam months back to make Erica fall in love with her, date her and break her heart after wards.Everything was completely staged including the proposal, Joan did this just to make Erica feel bad.For years she have been in town monitoring her father and sister just to know what their life have been like and she decided to strike just to make Erica feel terrible.Joan went back striaght to her Andrew's house.She parked the car with alot of thoughts running through her mind.She took a deep breath before switching off the engine of the car.Joan stepped out of the car looking a little lost from her environment.She walked into the living room and met Andrew sitting on the couch with a magazine covering his face.Joan stiffed a bit thinking of what his reaction might be seeing her again today.She knew that he didn't want her any where around Erica because he believed that she would be a total bad influence on Erica.Andrew
Joan shut her eyes."Have you seen what you have caused?" Sarah screamed."No you started it!" Joan screamed.Sarah felt pissed off "why am I even arguing with you? I don't know who you are, what if I tell Erica I saw you with Liam?"Joan laughed "you wouldn't dare do that.""Then watch me looser..." she turns to leave."And I would tell her how you have been dating our father" Joan threatened.Sarah was shocked.She turned around at once glaring at Joan.Joan grinned wickedly "are you surprised that I know your little dirty secret?""Who... who told you that crab?" Sarah asked."Are you calling your relationship with my father crab? Well if you must know, my father told me everything, you know why? He trusts me with secrets like this, unfortunately you are so cruel to keep such information away from Erica" Joan made faces at her.Sarah couldn't believe her ears.She moved cl
Erica and his friends had lunch at the restaurant, after wards they drove straight to the cinema to see a movie as they munched on their popcorns.They were all smiled, having long discussions as Joan and Sarah tried getting to know each other better.Sarah was still very worried.She walked into her apartment and closed the door behind.She sat on the couch with her head raised, her mind was clouded with thoughts.Suddenly her phone rang.She sighed picking up her bag from the floor.She picked her phone out and hissed on seeing who the caller was."What do you want Andrew?" She asked on picking the call.Andrew gasped on hearing her speak in such manner "are you okay Stella?"She chortled "really? are you asking me that?"Andrew rolled his eyes in amazement "Stella what is the problem? Y
Days crept into weeks and weeks into months, the girls grew stronger in their friendship and Andrew grew happier than he ever was.He had his two daughters back living under the same roof with him so that meant a lot to him.He couldn't help but wonder why he gave Joan that cold attitude from the beginning but he guessed it was because of the energy she gave him at first.Sarah and Joan often had times out together at the bar and sometimes Joan would pick Sarah from work for have lunch or dinner together, their friendship grew closer in months.Sarah grew to trust and love Joan alot appreciating every single thing about her."She isn't bad after all..." Sarah thought to herself on a certain evening Joan had come to pick her from work.They drove straight to Sarah's house, Joan waited for her to take a quick shower and change her clothes before they dashed into the road driving down to a night club.Erica was always busy with work, eve
Liam chuckled though he was filled with fury."Can you believe it, Erica just said she doesn't know me" Liam yelled."Have you lost your mind?" Sarah cried out."What???" His eyes widened."Weren't you the fool that proposed to another girl and dumped her?" Sarah cried out in anger.Joan turned to her in a hurry "Sarah calm down.""I won't! Allow me talk to this evil standing here, he hurts my friend now he wants to force his way back into her life? Has he lost his mind or what?" Sarah yelled."I would talk to him Sarah" Joan said in a soft tone."It's best you ask him to stay off her back else he wouldn't like what he would get" Sarah threatened walking away in a hurry.Joan turned to Liam."What is wrong with you?" She cried out."No! What is wrong with you? You made me date your sister and dump her, I thought it was all a game but until I realized I am in love with her" Liam explained.
Liam paced his living room.He felt confused and exhausted, his shoulders aches too.Liam have been up all night thinking about Erica and what happened the previous day at the beach.He had gone there to get some thoughts out of his head but was suprised to see Erica with her sister and friend.At first he hesitated to approach her for the fear of being embarrassed by her.He sat on the couch.The rays of the sun were gradually finding it's way into the living room through the open window.That did not bother him, the morning was still young and fresh.He picked up the throw pillow on the couch and clutched tight to the pillow gnashing his teeth in dismay.He sighed slightly fixing his glare on the mirror sitting on the wall."I really cannot afford to give up on Erica just like that, I know I was a fool but I know I can make this right, gush... this was all Joan's fault" he muttered.It was almost 10:00am.
Joan arrived home in the evening and Liam's visit was the first news Erica broke to her.Joan's eyes widened in fear."Did he say anything weird?" Joan asked sitting slowly on the couch.Erica chortled "as far as I am concerned, everything that he said was totally weird."Joan felt slightly nervous as she rubbed her hands on her laps.She could feel her heart beating very loud in chest chest.Erica stood up moving to the refrigerator to get a chilled drink.Joan hesitated to follow for a while before she finally stood up moving slowly to the kitchen."Do you care for some?" Erica asked looking up at her."Sure...." Joan answered hiding her anxiety behind her forced smile.Erica poured in some of the juice in a glass cup.She gulped down some while Joan did the same.Her hands were shaking, she placed it behind her looking straight at Erica's face."I swear I would deal with Liam if he did anyt
Linda waited in her car in front of the mall, through her side mirror she saw Oliver park his car behind hers.She waited patiently taking a deep breath.Oliver walked up to her car and got in."I am here..." he turned to her.She smiled trying to kiss him."Stop it Linda, why did you call me out here?" Oliver asked.She sighed "can't you be a little romantic with your side chick?" She glared at him."For the records, I have no side chick, for the last time, why am I here" he asked.She scoffed "open the dashboard in front of you."Oliver took a glance at her and opened it "now what?""Aren't you seeing something inside of it?" She arched her brow."An envelope?" He looked a little confused."Take the envelope" she instructed.Oliver turned to her "What's in it?""Just do what I said and stop asking silly questions" Linda yelled.He quickly took out the envelope."Open it!
Linda found her phone lying carelessly on her bed and picked it up."I am still waiting here bitch!" Joan yelled from the living room.Linda walked back to the livingroom with her phone and quickly called Oliver, her hands were shaking."How did you know I was back into the state?" Oliver asked."With the news of Joan out of prison, you are bound to return with your wife" she gave Joan a heavy glare who had a cruel smirk at the end of her lips.She hanged up asking Oliver to meet her in front of the mall later that evening which he found quite odd."Good girl, isn't it so simple?" Joan raised her brows."Can you leave mu house now?" Linda asked.Joan stood up "of course I would leave but make sure you don't forget that my eyes are everywhere" she picked up her base ball and placed it on her head, she went straight to the door, unlocked it and walked out of the house through it.Linda scoffed falling on her knees "I can't
Linda was playing a loud hip pop music in her room while she smoked nonstop, she was a smoke addict and found it difficult to do anything without smoking a cigarette.She had just putted off the cigarette and walked into the bathroom naked to have a quick shower when someone knocked.Linda didn't hear or notice the knock since the music was very loud and the radio was definitely very close to the bathroom.Linda sang along, dancing in the bathroom and spent quite a while in there enjoying the warmth of the water.She lit on another stick of cigarette walking out of the bathroom, she kept puffing the smoke into the air.Suddenly she heard a noise in her livingroom, she quickly grabbed her radio and turned down the volume paying attention to her environment to be sure she heard clearly.Then she heard the same noise in the livingroom again."Who is there?" She heed behind her door waiting for a response but no one said a thing.She became suspicious "I am sure
A week later...Erica, Oliver, her son and the nanny flew out of the states to Paris where they spent three weeks having fun and visiting lots of exciting places.They had planned to stay for two months but they couldn't stay longer after the night Erica received a frightening call from her father.They had just finished having vanilla gelato at the ice-cream store and got back to their various rooms when Andrew called.Erica was always excited when ever her father calls, she always loved sharing her experiences for the day with him.Andrew also did well calling always to check on the couple but this evening his voice didn't sound as cheerful as always, it sounded a little squeaky "are you okay dad?" She asked."Yeah... sure Erica, I just called to check up on you, how is my grandson doing?" He asked."He is with his nanny, he is doing alright" she answered."Mmhm... that's good, what about your husband?" He asked clearing his
The wedding day was a blast.One of the most expensive weddings ever celebrated so far.Of course the church auditorium was crowded with dignitaries who have come to celebrate with the couple.Erica was dressed in a strapless pearl ball gown, and a bridal illusion veil comfortably sitted on her head.She had this silver little crown on he head which made her look like a real princess.She had a esclavage sitting comfortably around her neck with dangling earnings.On her legs she wore a pair of silver ankle strap heels.Erica was the most beautiful woman in the church that morning, all eyes were focused on her.Linda stood beside behind her while she took the vows standing in front of Oliver who was elegantly dressed in his white suit and so was Eli."To love and to cherish, till death do us part" Erica said wearing a precious smile.They exchanged rings, it was quite and emotional scenario, both couples would spen
Few minutes later...The director of the company called a meeting for all staffs and mentioned that some serious amount of money was missing from the account.One of the staffs cleared his throat raising his hand "excuse me sir but if money should be missing, the accountant and financial secretary should be held responsible, they should trace it all."The director nodded turning to the financial secretary and accountant who looked totally confused."I don't understand why money was continually withdrawn and stolen from thsi company under your very nose and you can't give a reasonable explanation" the director said.He had previously called both men who have served as the accountant and financial secretary to the company for several years into his office and asked them.The money was worth in millions of dollars and it wasn't withdrawn once.At first the director had refused to make it public though so high ranked staff members were aw
Erica have been writing a particular book for years now, it was more like a biography.She had been sitting all night in front of her laptop typing, she needed the book to be ready a week after her wedding and yes her wedding date have been fixed, it was just a month away and lots of preparations were going on already.Erica stretched standing up from the chair, her eyes met her wall clock and she scoffed in despair, she doubted if she would be able to sleep.It was 7:00am and bundles of sun rays were already making way through her slightly open window, she yawned stretching again while she lay up on her bed facing the ceiling, she shut her eyes forcing a self to sleep for few minutes but her efforts were futile especially because of her phone which started blaring nonstop.She forced herself up on her feet and grabbed the phone."Linda! I just wanted to get a little sleep" she cried out feeling so disappointed on picking the call.Lin
"Hey Erica, you have got to go pick some groceries, we are out of food" she heard her father yell from the living room dragging her out of her miserable thoughts.That was a good one and a nice escape from her mood, it was soon going to drown her after all."Coming..." she answered dragging her short gown down, she hurried out of thevroom afterwards to go see her father.It's Zoe's birthday...The living room was decorated with blue, white and golden colors, their were balloons every where and a smooth music to bring life to the occasion.The little boy was already walking but Erica still preferred that the nanny carried him into her arms while the party went on.Lots of family friends attended, their was enough to eat and drink.In few minutes, Zoe cut his birthday cake and lots of gifts were presented to him."I didn't see your gift for Zoe" Erica said while she danced in the arms of Oliver.He giggled "don't worry abo
Saturday had just began and it was noon in few hours.It was a visiting period in prison...The visiting room was already getting crowded with people who have come to visit the inmates who were their family members.Joan barely had visitors but today she had one waiting for in the room.She walked straight into the room and sat down opposite her visitor, she had her hair properly packed in pony tail, they looked a little messed up and so did her face, she smiled adjusting on the seat "Hey.. how is it going?"Linda smirked "very well Joan, doing it all just like you asked me to, why do you have so many bruises on your face today?" She asked out of curiosity.Joan nodded "I trust you, have they fixed the wedding date yet?""You didn't answer my wuestin" Linda interrupted.Joan sighed "I'm trying to survive over here Linda, bruises and wounds are normal to me anyways."Linda gasped "that's really crazy, do you really
