I didn't know when I blurted the words out of my mouth but I was so pissed to see the girl with him. I wasn't supposed to care, it's none of my business so I turned away. Even though I was feeling a different feeling around my chest area. Trying to concentrate on my dance moves, I turned away. The crowd was screaming for me but my eyes kept moving to Mr. Lance's side of the club. “Fuck!” I yelled, but not as loud as the music. Why wasn't he pushing her away? Why would he allow her to dance for him? I thought he said I was his personal stripper. What's he doing with another? The feeling of having her with him wasn't making me feel comfortable, I wasn't even dancing very well anymore so I made my way down from the stage. “Hey, what's your name?” I asked her and she replied, “Hailey”“Hailey, go dance with that customer,” I pointed at another man and Hailey was obediently going to leave when Mr. Lance said, “I prefer she says with me. I'll pay double,” Hailey's eyes twinkled while
“Us” she boldly repeated.I didn't know what to say, I couldn't stop blinking my eyes at her. Was she serious? She does both men and women?“Why are you surprised? I don't discriminate, I do both genders,” What the fuck!I didn't know if I hid my irritation well enough as I walked away from her. She kept screaming at me but I didn't even respond. I could see her man looking at me as I walked away and I shook my head in disgust. Fuck! Knowing that my cousin was of both genders only irritated me to my very core. What the hell? I'll have to check up on Anna, I hope she has never played towards my sister. Fuck! I have to leave that motherfucking house as soon as possible. “I don't discriminate. I do both genders. Both genders my foot! The audacity!”It was in anger that I left the stage and went back to the dressing room. I didn't bother to say a word to Melinda, she's crazy. I thought she was crazy before but now, I knew she needed mental attention as soon as possible. There was no
“A playground?” I asked the obvious when we got to the field. Was he serious? A playground? “Yes, do you like it?” He asked. I looked from the playground to the man who was asking me such a question. Why would Mr. Lance bring me to a playground? “What are we doing here?” I asked, confusion written all over my face. “To brighten your mood. You aren't in a good mood, right?” I paused, not knowing what to say. How did he get to find out that I loved the playground? Was he spying on me? That's not possible even because I can't remember the last time I went to the playground for fun.It was my favorite place when I was little till I lost my parents and I had to take care of Anna all by myself, meaning I had to grow up quickly.It's been so long, years even so how did he know that I loved the playground?When he saw that I wasn't going to respond to his question, he pulled me to a swing and made me sit on it. My fingers wrapped around the iron handles as I sat on it. My heart swells wit
Lance's POV“It's your sister, she's refusing to eat,” Justin, my beta said over the phone. I sighed as my fingers went to my forehead to massage it. “Hand the phone over,” I ordered. The phone was given to Daphne but I knew I wouldn't be able to hear her speak. I had promised her that I would come in a week, it's more than that now and she was getting worried. “Daphne, hey girl, why aren't you eating?” I asked. Knowing that she wouldn't reply to my question, I continued, “You promise you I'll be back soon, right? And I will. I'm getting a friend for you. When she comes, you'll love her. Can you please eat? I don't want you starving yourself,” I waited for something, anything for her to do for me to know she was going to do as I had said. “She's left,” Justin's voice was heard through the phone. “Follow her,” I ordered and he did so. After some minutes, I heard him sigh in relief. “She's eating now,” I also sighed. I needed to hurry up and go back to the pack. I hate to leave
Maria J's POVI blinked my eyes open slowly, looking around, I found myself in my room. I tried to get up only to hold my head with both my hands and fell back on the bed. Anna had already left for school because she wasn't in the room. Checking the time, it was 9 am already. I gritted my teeth, how the hell did I wake up late again today? I was about to stand up again when I recalled the event that happened last night.“Fuck!” I jumped on my feet. What then happened? How come I'm in my room?Where is he? Mr. Lance? Did the Becker come? How the hell did I end up in my room and also without any broken bones? Last night, I was so sure I'd either die or break a lot of bones. How am I here, alive and strong? What happened?Questions filled my heart and I was in need of an answer when my phone rang, “Hello?” I answered the call. It was Sofia. “Where are you? Don't tell me you aren't coming to work today too?” I furrowed my brows, why does she care? Was it because she really cared or
I stepped into the restaurant through the back door which was hardly open. All thanks to Sofia, she came to open the door for me. I made my way to the dressing room. I was changing into my uniform when someone barged in, “James!” I screamed. The idiot whistled. “Why the fuck do you walk in here all the time without knocking?!” I yelled “Because I'm willing to take the risk as I want to see what's behind the clothes,” he replied with an irritating smirk that I wanted to slap off his face. I quickly put on my shirt as I had already worn my skirt. His eyes were fixed on my chest as I buttoned up. “Asshole” I swore at him. “Whatever you say,” he replied. There was a pause before he said,“You know I'll get to see you anyway. I've seen them both, Sofia is on fire…” he licked his lips. Sofia had slept with him. I can't help but feel disgusted at the boy. I thought we were friends but gosh…not with James. It made me recall Mr Lance's words where he said not all my colleagues were my f
“And what can I do for you, James?” I asked, my arms folded. “There's a little something for you at the back of the restaurant” he replied. I narrowed my eyes at him before saying, “I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go back and look at whatever is going on at the back of the restaurant,” With that, I began to walk away from him “Maria J!” He yelled but I waved my hand at him as I walked away, “Sorry, James, but I'm not interested,” James kept tailing me, he didn't think I knew but I did and I was preparing to give him the beating of his life with that wood by the side of the bench at the bus stop.I was almost close to the bus stop when the screech of a car made me snap my head to look towards my left.“Holy fuck!” I exclaimed in shock, moving backward in speed. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who the fuck it was, Mr Lance of course. I stood there with my hands folded, “Hello my dear,” he came down from the car and walked towards me with his hands inside his pockets.“M
Lance's POV“We've been driving in circles” “Have we now?” I asked with a smirk on my face. She folded her arms across her chest, her cheeks puffed up, so pretty. Last night was one hell of a night. If anything had happened to her, I don't think I would have been able to forgive myself. All we both needed was a time for ourselves but they decided to come. I was glad that no harm had come to her, not even a scratch. She's human, she's fragile. A little bullet wound could take her life and I'm not going to allow that to happen. I had thrown her clothes away before it was full of blood, not her blood but mine. I can't allow her to wake up in that. So my stubborn mate wants to get those clothes back. I had long thrown it away. “Mr Lance, don't act ignorant. You know we've been moving in circles,”I shrugged, “I don't. I don't particularly know this area,” I said to her, a smile threatening to spring out but I held it. She scoffed before turning away, “Just take me home,” she ordere
