“Hey Sunny, have you been waiting here for long? Apologies for the delay, babe. The Professor had so much for me to do that…” Selene began explaining why she was fifteen minutes late to the meeting she only knew about during her last class for the day. Her professor had tasked her to supervise a project that would determine whether they would pass or fail his program for the semester. “Cut the crap, you cheap slut!” He cut her off rudely, his voice a few octaves higher. It was as if he wanted everyone to hear him. “You are such a bold one, Selene. You kept me waiting here, while you took all the time in your Professor’s office doing God knows what. You think a simple apology can solve that?” Selene’s face turned pale when she heard what he had to say. She couldn’t believe her ears, as she wondered, “It’s only been fifteen minutes. Why is he getting so worked up?” Meanwhile, she cautioned in a gentle tone, “Watch your words, Sunny. What are you implying?” Her composure rather irked
“The bastard even used my card to pay for his orders at the restaurant!” Selene mentioned casually as if it was someone else’s story and not hers. Chloe couldn’t believe everything the young lady had just said. She thought her situation was peculiar, but this experience seemed quite similar to hers. She couldn’t help herself from asking, “So, what did you do about the card? You still left it for him after everything?” The two had spoken about so much amid tears that they already felt like besties. Selene smiled meaningfully, an evil smirk lacing her lips, “Tsk!” She then reached for her handbag and responded in jest, “I have my card just where it belongs. He should be paying the bills with his ego as we speak.” With their words coming out as incoherent slurs, the two girls laughed their hearts out once more. “Barman…” Selene called out enthusiastially. At this moment, her head was only filled with thoughts of how to drown her sorrows in more alcohol. Using an indifferent tone, s
Declan’s groin was on fire, and he couldn’t tell why this little girl was having such an effect on him. The last time he checked, no woman was able to turn him on, not even the ones who stripped and offered themselves to him on a silver platter. He just didn’t feel the urge to touch them. This one was different. Even though her clothes, bag, and other accessories were top-notch, there was no logo on them. He could tell she was from a wealthy family but was trying to keep a low profile. He loved people who were sometimes discreet about what they had, not always shoving their wealth down people’s throats. He had seen many in his industry who tried so hard to impress that they ended up looking like clowns in their designer wears. Some even went under the knife so many times that they themselves couldn’t recognize themselves in the mirror anymore. The young lady is different. From a glance, he could tell that she was a natural. “She has the body of a thousand models. I bet she wou
“H… hello… Ma’am,” The bartender placed a phone to his ear and stuttered, looking over his shoulder to ensure he wasn’t being followed. He knew he was in trouble for not completing the task, yet, he already spent her mone1¹y. The line was silent for a while, and he was suddenly tempted to believe the person had already hung up. “Ma’am, I did exactly as you said, and lied to my colleague about his gas leaking at the apartment. I then took over and added the exact quantity you mentioned, but… but… she left with a stranger. I didn’t even get the chance to take her to the room we prepared, but I already requested the CCTV footage from the monitoring room. Ma’am, I swear their antics in the bar alone are enough to cause a huge scandal.” The bartender tried to explain further but realized the person on the other side was already pissed. He was only praying to all the deities that she wouldn’t ask him for a refund. “Ma’am, I can swear they were kissing right in front of me...” He sudden
Selene finally decided to leave the bedroom after so long. She just didn’t know how to face him, but she knew it must happen one way or the other. Thankfully, the man wasn’t so dense to have stayed in bed waiting for her. She was even glad that everything that could serve as evidence of their nocturnal activities had been discarded by the stranger. “You’re finally out of the shower,” Declan spoke as if waiting for his wife to leave for an important function. He looked so carefree that Selene couldn’t help concluding that it was his habit to bring girls here regularly. After all, nothing made more sense to her as to how relaxed the man looked right now. The whole house screamed of nothing but luxury, and even she was impressed by what she was seeing. “Good thing he’s just your fling, Selene. Get the heck out of this place.” She chastised herself and moved to walk past Declan, as she headed for the door. However, he had read her movements long ago and knew she wouldn’t be willin
Selene extended her hand and took the bag from the beautiful lady, it contained her belongings after all. When she moved toward the door, she realized she had erred. “Where’s my car?” The thought suddenly hit her, and she stood frozen at the spot, probing her memory for answers, albeit in futility. When she brought out her phone to book a taxi, she noticed there were no vehicles near the place. Peak Grooves was a private property on the outskirts of town after all. Even though other homes were being built at the moment, only one luxurious mansion stood at the peak of the hill. It was Declan’s house, a place that overlooked the bustling city of Bloomsbay. Selene only wished to get away from this seemingly dangerous man, as everything that transpired between them was still fresh in her mind. It was the same reason why she resorted to being harsh toward him since she woke up. “Boris would take you home and only leave when you are safely indoors. For your car keys, you’ll find them hi
“And where do you think you’re going, young lady?” Tara’s voice sounded behind her, as Selene passed through the dining hall toward the door. She had on a blue armless, flowery dress that reached up to her ankle, which she matched with a white pair of flats. The dress had beautifully printed flowers of different kinds on it. Even though it was a loose-fitting gown that she carelessly picked from her wardrobe, it highlighted her youth and made her appear as an innocent and demure young lady. The style was such a sharp contrast to the business-like attires she always donned for her classes. She really looked worn out and exhausted. The insults and memes online didn’t treat her well at all, and she seemed to be in a lot of pain. Selene didn’t have any energy left in her, but she still chose not to miss school for two days in a row. Tara, however, wasn’t having any of it. In her mind, Selene has lost the right to be regarded as a prim and proper lady. A certain displeasure stemmed from
“Helen Smart, you will hear from my lawyers soon enough!” The bold declaration got everyone startled, and many were wondering if there was going to be real trouble, or if they were just trying to scare the young lady. Meanwhile, they all averted their gazes from the speaker, as they feared they may likely be sued for merely staring too long, or too much. Selene looked over her shoulders and surprisingly spotted Chloe walking toward her in quick strides. She looked exhausted, and she could only wonder if her family treated her as badly as her situation was back home. No soothsayer was needed to show the fatigue on Chloe’s face. Chloe wore blue jeans that were slightly ripped at both knees and her white shirt was neatly folded and tied at her back. To match her look, she wore a black kick from DG. Selene squinted her brows subtly at the realization that her friend was dressed in everything DG, from head to toe. When she finally realized where her mind took her at the sight of the des
