Confusing His Looks

Chapter 64

(Confusing His Looks)

Celine’s POV

“Hi….ermm…you must be Celine…well I’m Cassandra, a new member of the clan and your new roommate” The newbie smile, stretching out her hand for a handshake. I scoff, ignoring her completely. Right now, I’m really high and need a cool bath to calm my nerves; if she tries rubbish with me then she will be shock to see my other side.

“Hey…you didn’t take my handshake, fine, but at least tell me your name, I’m trying to be friendly here” She muttered. I didn’t say a word; I pulled off my clothes heading for the bathroom when I heard her mumbled a word which turned on the demon in me

“Huhh…b!tch” She scoffs. Before she could take a step forward, I pounced on her pushing her to the wall, as she slams her back on it. I was boiling with rage, trying to calm my anger which isn’t working. She is a newbie, I shouldn’t be treating her this way, but I’m still mad at the fact that I will be having someone to replace Clara. And this b!tchy mouth here isn’t helping matters.

“Take a look at me, I not the one who you joke with, if you spit one more word out of your mouth I’m gonna chop your head off with my fingers you idiot” I yelled, my mouth oozing hot breathe , as I pinned her neck to the wall, holding it firmly.

“Hargg, huhh” She struggled under my grip, trying to free herself, but she felt like a fly in my hands, my strength is times ten stronger than hers.

“I’m sorry….please” She pleaded. I regained my composure, releasing my grip from her as she drops to the floor, coughing hard, trying to regain her breath.

“Serves you right” I snapped, walking myself to the bathroom, while she wallow in pain

Ariel’s POV

“Axel” I called out in surprise. He frowns slightly, but decided to step forward as the light shone on his face

“It’s Aiden” He muttered as I release a gasp. I rarely make mistakes differentiating them, but happened just now is really crazy. I can’t believe I mistake Aiden for his brother, have I been thinking of Axel too much or…wait a minute…did he just change his hairstyle? Yea, that’s what I use in recognizing them.

“Opps..i’m sorry…you just kinda look different…I don’t know what I’m missing out…I think the hair deceived me” I laughed nervously. He chuckled, coming in fully while I shut the door

“Yea….I had to change my hair to get a new look”

“Oh yea….now I know why I mistook him for you, you rarely dye your hair…”

“Yes…sure…but I just wanna look different this time, or don’t you like it?” he arched his brow

“I do….it looks good on you…I’m just wondering why I didn’t see it on you during contest program..i mean..it ended few hours ago, you wouldn’t have gotten a new cut and dye your hair in those hours..you know” I muttered. He laughed out loudly

“Let’s say you didn’t notice it well, whereas I was putting on a cap during the performance, wanted it to be a surprise to you anyway”

“It’s surely a surprise though, blue looks good on you” I smiled, staring intent at the hair dyed blue with strip of gold and pink

“Thanks…so you prefer me dying my hair to leaving it natural?” he winked

“Anyone is better on you…you are one hell of a handsome cutie..so any style will surely give you a killer look” I returned the wink, and blush at the same time. He chuckled at my expression, while I try to conceal my laughter too. I’m being really outspoken this days, and with Aiden, its top notch. I’m very free with him, unlike when we first met; I was truly shy as at then.

“Owkay…..so why are you here” I asked. We took our seat opposite each other on the couch, as he gave me a contagious smile, because I found myself smiling back

“I am here to see a pretty angel, whose smile worth millions. My beautiful Ariel’s face” He winked again. This time, I blushed hard, making my cheek as red as tomato. I covered it, trying to conceal the embarrassment, but he pulled my hands away, laughing along

“It’s ok to blush, you a damn beautiful and you know it, so don’t feel embarrass when someone commends it”

“Thanks…thank you” I smiled. He nodded

“I will be leaving the country tomorrow; I will be having a movie shoot is another part of the world” He dropped a bombshell, as I stared at him, surprised

“Erm….i…okay”

“I’m sorry, I wouldn’t be present at tomorrow’s meeting, but trust me, Axel will help you in whatever you need help in.  The money will be transferred to your account tomorrow, the documents to your car and house will be given to you. I have re-assigned your personal guard to take back his duty post. Daniel is now back on his feet, and is ready to perform his duty again. He will take you to the house with perhaps one of the judge for inspection”

“Thanks you so much Aiden….”

“You don’t need to thank me Ariel; it’s my job to make sure you are ok”

“I wish there is a better way I can use to repay you…God bless you Aiden”

“Amen…there are many ways Ariel…there are many ways. But if you are thinking of giving me money, that is out of it, cause I have enough” He chuckled. I smiled out

“One more thing, you are gonna start taking driving classes…or do you know how to drive…”

“No..i don’t I can only ride a bike, I have never tried driving a car” I shrug

“You have one now…Victor will be glad to teach you. You are free to join the triple girl’s band and also take up the modeling contract, if you really want it though. And you can also resume back to school; exams for the semester are fast approaching. More work for my cutie..”

“Yea….reading is not really stressful for me though…I will do my best” I smiled

“You are smart..i believe in you. You know…this world of being a celebrity while in school is a bit stressful. Combining school work with your career is not an easy thing at all, but it worth taking the risk, because in a twinkle of an eye, you will be through and continue your career in good pace”

“I pray God helps me, achieve my dreams…my mum will be so proud of me” I smiled out sadly, Remembering the fact that I still couldn’t reach her and Aiden mentioned something about not finding her location”

“Don’t be sad..we will find her okay”

“Yea…sure…but right now, I need to finish up what I came here for…finding my father” I muttered the last part inwardly

~The Next Day~

Flora’s POV

“You are looking more beautiful today..what’s the secret” Karl winked at me as I blush, chuckling in process

“Well, let’s say I’m becoming happy, being friends with you has really changed me. Unlike before, I get to smile every day, seeing your messages and all that keeps me glowing, because I’m happy. Sadness and depression kills, even if it starts slowly” I beamed, he smiled

“That’s good” he muttered. We are actually in the park, cupping from our plate of ice-cream, feeding our eyes with the view of little kids playing around.

“So…you haven’t really told me about what happened to you at the mall that day; why you mysteriously left on a vacation without me knowing about it. I’m not trying to sound too poky, but…I’m your friend now….and friends don’t keep things away from each other ..you know?” He shrugged. I sighed.

I have been wanting to tell him about everything that has been going on, but was just finding the perfect time, and I think now is the right time for me to or my heart out.

“It’s Sophia…she made me that way” I muttered. He frowns

“How…I mean.. I don’t get you”

I started my story by telling him about what went on in Aiden’s house and how Sophia recorded the scene. Looking at his expression, he looked disappointed

“Flora…why will you do that..i mean…that’s unlike you…you…”

“I’m sorry Karl….but I was drugged. She confirmed it” I stated with cracked voice, letting the tears I have been holding back fall out freely. He pats my back

“it’s ok….Sophia is a b!tch….”

“And I think she drugged Aiden too….She want to use it against us….all because of her selfish desire”

“But why…what selfish desire..”

“She loves Axel…she wants him at all cost….she made me break up with him..Karl…she was the one behind me sleeping with Micheal…she forced me to do it”

“What???? Like seriously….but why did you agree to do such….why Flora….she didn’t drug you did she?”

“No!!!”

“Then why…..” He almost yelled, but tried controlling it, but he was pissed

“It’s a long story…. I did it for my mum..i need to safe her” I cried out. He looked at me in shock

“You…you have a mum…

 “Yes….” I muttered, explaining in details how I got to meet my mum after many years of her departure,; how Sophia got to know about her and forced me to do all the atrocities I did, just to keep her from exposing my mum’s ugly records., leading her back to jail where she ran away from. Although, I didn’t mention something about my mum working for the Jenkins family; she asked me not to tell anyone about it for now.

“So Sophia has been the one all along….she has been blackmailing you, using your mum’s life all along?” he asked with concern after hearing the full story. I nodded.

“There are more for you to know” I mentioned, remembering the event of how I broke up with Axel that day.

Flash Back

Sophia barge into my house just after I finished making a call with Axel

“What are you doing here” I asked

“Shut the f**k up, you know why I’m here. He is coming now…we need to play this smartly” She stated, and Michael walked in just immediately, winking at me, I scoff

“I can’t do this Sophia…I can’t…I’m gonna break him real bad

“I don’t care” She spats

“Look Sophia….i can break up with him without all these”

“And do you think he will stop running after you. I know Axel, he doesn’t relent until he gets what he wants. I want him to be mine and mine alone, whereas you don’t even love him, so why are you being a chicken. You are not a v!rgin, are you?  Having s*x with Michael isn’t a big deal, he will leave you when he finds out that you cheated on him”

“No Sophia….this is not good for my personality. I’m not a slut…” I yelled

“I thought we talk about this…then why are you going back on the plan, perhaps you no longer love your mother. Get to work b!tch, I will be in your closet” She snapped, signaling to Michael who nodded. I sigh briefly, believing that in few minute I will end my relationship with Axel. I feel really bad doing this, but this will save my head and that of my mum.

I took off my clothes as Michael did the same.

“Be quick guys, he is here…” Sophia muttered, monitoring Axel as he parked his car outside.

We got to work quickly, with Michael already banging me real hard after few moment of smooching. Sophia was behind the doors of my closet, perhaps taking record of all that was happening. Axel opened the door as we both pretend to jerk. He became furious and get into a fight with Micheal, while I tried to stop the fight.

“Please stop…..hunhh….please….don’t do this to me” I sobs preventing him from hitting Michael further

“I trusted you Flora, I….i….” Axel Shuttered, I could see the pain in his eyes, as Michael roared out in laughter, as he spoke in mockery.

“Look here lover boy, Flora is already taken…..why stressing yourself over her…she doesn’t love you, as you can see, she screamed my name like a bitch that she is” Michael snaps.

 He looked at me perhaps expecting me to say something, I knew he wanted me to tell him that all Michael said were lies, but I was too guilty to say a word

“Do you really want me to leave Flora, huh, look girl just tell me that what he is saying is not true….look…fine…I caught you both having s*x but just tell me if he actually forced you to do it……tell me if it was actually rape or something else I will believe you, but don’t leave me Flora. I love you with the whole of my heart” He sobs slightly, as a drop of tears rolled down my cheek, no doubt, I wasn’t planning to leave him this way, but I just don’t know what to do, I don’t wanna ruin things for the both of us

“Just leave Axel….I don’t wanna see your face….just go” I snap feigning anger. He pouted sadly, sniffing in as he walks out of the room without turning to look back.

Just after he left, I broke down into tears, crying my eyes out

“I’m such a b!tch” I screamed out loud. Sophia walked out from behind the closet with a smirk on her face while Michael started dressing up

“Stop being a cry baby, you did well; just take a look at his face. Well, now I will have to go play the Good Samaritan and make him fall for me, since his Cinderella has cheated on him” She chuckled evilly

“I hate you Sophia…..I hate you” I growled. She smirked
