Chapter Fifty-SixShelly stepped out of her room dressed in a black pencil skirt and a blue tuck in shirt paired with black wedges, and her black handbag."Ooh, girl you look ready to take on the world," Cindy complimented her with a smile.Kiara grinned as she stepped out of the room, "You could ride a dick in that skirt."Shelly glared at her, "Why must everything be about sex to you?!"Cindy nodded, "That's all she thinks about."Kiara smirked at them, "Say what you want guys but we all know that you still love me."Shelly rolled her eyes, holding back her smile. "True, we've got to do something about that, Cindy."Cindy grinned mischievously, "Yeah, we ought to stop showing her much love."Kiara grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa and threw at them, Shelly was quick to duck while the pillow hit Cindy square in the face."I'm gonna kill you!" Cindy growled as she grabbed the pillow immediately."Hold on, I need to leave here before you both kill each other," Shelly heard her father
Chapter Fifty-SevenIdiot! Stupid!! Dumbass!!!Kol was beyond furious with himself. Why had he asked her out? It was enough that he had apologized but did he have to offer to make it up to her? But somehow he felt she hadn't enjoyed the party because of him.Now, how's that even possible? His subconsciousness taunted him.He just couldn't rub off the fact that something was pulling him towards this young female.Yeah, cupid match.He hated his subconscious mind right this moment, it had a way of gnawing at his inner thoughts.Trying to distract himself from his now annoying thoughts, he grabbed the file on his desk and studied it with no interest at all.He just stared at the file without seeming to make sense of anything. He massaged his forehead, rubbing his palms together as various emotions ran through his mind.He was scared. He was anxious and most importantly, he was excited.He was scared because he didn't know what to do to make it up to her and he was anxious because he had n
Chapter Fifty-EightKol took a glance at the redhead and the blonde in front of him. Shit! He was in deep trouble, he thought as he saw the missiles the redhead aimed towards the blonde and the hurt looks on the blonde face."Hello, darling." Redhead walked towards him with a wide smile.Kol stood up and held Shelly's waist, "What are you doing here, Bianca?"She rolled her eyes, "I was told you planned a surprise make up party for us."Kol struggled to keep his voice even as a nerve twitched beneath his eyes, "Who told you that?"She giggled like a high school girl, "Why, it's Tracy."Ugh! He knew that little brat would cause problems for him with the way she had been trying to pry information out of him.She just had to go ahead and blab to Bianca about his dinner with Shelly. Way to ruin his evening, Tracy.Taking a firm grip of Shelly's waist, he pulled her close to himself, "As you can see Bianca, she was mistaken. The party is for Shelly here and not you."He saw the anger that f
Chapter Fifty-Nine"Mom, I can't believe you joined them too!"Shelly chuckled as her mother gave an innocent look."What are you talking about, darling?"Shelly rolled her eyes at her mom. She could have almost passed for an innocent woman but she knew her better to know she was among the pranksters.They--her mom and her friends had played an annoying prank on her. A prank that consisted of making her run through the entire house looking for her phone!Her mom had tried teasing her into telling her what had happened between her and Kol but she insisted nothing had happened only for a text message to pop up on the screen of her phone.It was a text from Kol. She had rushed to reply to it only to have the phone rudely snatched from her hands by none other than Kiara! And now, she was nowhere to be found."Mom!" Shelly exclaimed, exasperation lacing her tone."Darling, it's not good for you to frown much you
Chapter SixtyTracy strutted towards the place she was sure the boys would be in with a smirk. To think they had thought they could hide from her especially Adam. She was going to give him a piece of her mind then as for that brother of hers, well she couldn't blame him.She took a left turn and stood in front of the lounge located inside the gym."You're sure she doesn't know there's a bar here?" She heard Adam's worried voice.Ha! He ought to be worried. He's gonna get what is coming to him soon."Relax this is a new upgrade in the gym it's not well known," she heard her brother's voice.Oh brother dear, I know you both like the back of my palm."Hello guys, fancy meeting you guys here," she smiled at them strutting into the Lounge heading towards them.Adam gulped as he stared at the approaching blonde wearing a saccharine smile."I thought you said she doesn't know this place?" He asked Kol in a harsh whisper.Kol shrugged, "Apparently I was wrong."Adam glared at him. "Obviously!"
Chapter Sixty-OneGrowing without a mother is worse but being grown up and having a pregnant mother was beyond crazy!Shelly paced up and down in her room, her hair looking tattered and wild and her eyes had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.She was currently in her parents' room where her mom was glaring at the now empty plate of ice cream in front of her and her father also.It's been two weeks since the news of her mother's pregnancy and she was three months gone already so she was having some weird cravings.It was also two weeks to Christmas and Shelly was excited. Her parents were getting married again at Christmas, it sounds crazy though but she loved her parents' love story and couldn't wait for when she'd have kids and tell them of her love story too."You just had to buy only three plates!" Her mother's growl interrupted her train of thoughts.Roy massaged his temples and sighed. He was exhausted. "Honey,
Chapter Sixty-TwoShelly wished she had a superpower right this instant, she would have wished for the world to leave her alone!"Well, well, well. Look who we have here, Tracy!"But alas it wasn't the world that had interrupted her almost-kiss with Kol.The kiss she had dreamed about for weeks. Dang, she had wet dreams about him last week! And she just had to interrupt them.The she-demon!Just as Kol stepped away from her she saw Bianca, the queen of annoyingness__is that even a word? Right now, she didn't care. She was too busy drilling a hole in Bianca's perfect head.Yes, Bianca was perfect, she thought quietly as she stared at her walking towards them with a smirk that could only be compared with the devil's smirk.She was dressed in a red short dress that looked gorgeous on her, hugging all her curves and making her hair stand out even more. Her long legs were encased in beautiful sparkling silver heels.
Chapter Sixty-ThreeShelly glared at the duo approaching her and she sighed. This was your idea of a rescue team, she wanted to snap at the smiling face of Kiara and Adam but instead settled on smiling at them with her teeth. You know the kind of creepy smile you give someone, especially on Halloween."Shelly, nice to meet y'all here!" Kiara exclaimed pulling her in for a hug."Let me go!" Shelly hissed in her ear.Kiara rolled her eyes at her, "I came to save your ass and this is how you thank me?"Tracy's voice stopped my snappy come back."Adam, you're here!" She screeched."With me, yeah," Kiara glared daggers at her forcing her to back off.Stifling his chuckle, Adam slipped an arm around Kiara's waist, "Hey, Tracy."Shelly whirled around when she heard footsteps and saw Chase approaching with Cindy.Oh, kill me right now! Is this some kind of group family outing? She yelled inwardly."We

Chapter NinetyShelly chuckled as her mom stepped out of the dressing room."How do I look, Shelly?"Kiara sniggered and Cindy turned away while Shelly scratched her head awkwardly.It's been two weeks since the fiasco with her late uncle—God bless his soul as he rots in hell— her mom had recovered thankfully nothing happened to the baby and she had gotten better from the knife wound, Cara and her son had left the States to Paris.Christmas was tomorrow and it was also her parents' wedding so they were doing some last minute shopping and preparations that included dressing testing at the last minute for her mom had gotten so round and fat it was getting difficult to find the wedding dress that will be a good fit for her.So currently, her mom was standing and twirling around in front of a mirror as she admired herself in the half-cut white dress that protruded her stomach in a very visible way that made it seem like
Chapter Eighty-NineRoy Champman paced up and down in the police station waiting to make a statement and get a police officer to take back to his house so whoever it was that attacked his wife could be arrested.He couldn't help but be scared and think about what could have possibly happened to her. He was so scared he didn't notice the woman that walked in with a young boy till she tapped him softly on the shoulders."Roy Champman?"He heard the soft timid voice as he turned around and saw the face of a woman that was once beautiful except for the fact that her face had a large scar that ran from her right eye through her left cheek. She was almost blinded by the scar but somehow the scar hadn't affected her eyes.With her short black curls and brown eyes, she looked oddly familiar. But when his eyes landed on the little boy of not less than seven years she was holding his eyes widened in shock.The baby was a splitting image
Chapter Eighty-EightShelly crept towards the house and stepped onto the patio. She turned the doorknob as gently as she could but found out it was locked!Mom never locks the door, she thought quietly.Shelly peered into the glass double door where the balcony was, her mom was fond of relaxing there due to her painting but when she took a closer look she saw that the balcony was empty. On a closer look, she saw signs of struggle as the chair—recliner seat—which her mom sits on to relax what turned upside down.She saw a scrap of her mom's favorite gown on the ground—she had bought the dress for her—lying close to the front door, her heart skipped a beat as she realized that maybe there was a pervert in their house.Fear gripping her heart, she stepped out of the house and went outside to see if there was any weapon she could at least arm herself with. Her stupid phone beeped and she hurriedly muted it before r
Chapter Eighty-SevenLucinda stepped into the sitting room. She wondered when Shelly would get back from her friend's place. She grabbed her phone and dialed Shelly number then when she didn't pick up, she dialed her husband's number.He picked on the second ring."Hello, beautiful," her husband's voice sounded in her ears. She smiled so happily."Hey, honey. What's the reason for your happy voice?""The fact that you called me," he replied. She could hear the grin from his voice."Awww, you're so sweet. I miss you, come back soon okay." He promised he would be back soon and she hanged up.She massaged her temples feeling a slight headache, she dialed the staff number but remembered they were asked to go on a vacation.Sighing softly, she stood up to get the pills her doctor recommended for her from her room."Oh, look who's heavy again!"A startled scream left her mouth when she whirled around and s
Chapter Eighty-SixWhat comes to your mind when you are being taken to go see your in-laws? Bonding?Well, turns out Kiara's in-laws aren't so big on bonding together with their daughter-in-law specifically Kiara."Why do you think you are the perfect woman for my son?"The sharp voice of Ed pulled Shelly from her thoughts. He was staring intently at Kiara and just as her friend opened her mouth to respond a gruff voice cut them off."I believe that question should be directed to your son!"Shelly and the others whirled around towards the direction of the voice and saw a maid scurrying away quickly while two people stepped into the sitting room.One aura was as dominating and intimidating as the other that is Kiara's father—she knew that by the smirk and smile on her face—and Adam's father had the same aura and personality, while Kiara's mom and Adam's mom were Adam's mom had a cold exterior, Kiara's mom had
Chapter Eighty-FiveOkay, Shelly was intimidated right now.If she thought Linda was scary well here comes the creator of scariness. Shelly stared at the 6ft5 man in his early fifties as he strode down the stairs, an aura of confidence and arrogance radiating off him.Oh, Kiara, let's run away already, Shelly pleaded in her inner mind."Why are you being rude to our guest, Selina?" His hard voice was heard again as he stood in front of them.Or maybe he's not that bad, Shelly thought."I..."He raised a palm in the air cutting off whatever his wife was about to say. Shelly was impressed by this."Come in, let's all have lunch together." He waved them over to the dining area while walking ahead of them.Shelly walked towards the dining admiring the beautiful gold dining seats and tables that were arranged neatly.The arrangements were very good although the dining seating arrangement looked like it wa
Chapter Eighty-FourShelly stared at Kiara, an amusing smile on her face."Why would you be scared of going to see your in-laws?"Kiara glared at her, "Don't even try and tease me right now I'm not in that mood."Shelly groaned, "Why do I have to be the one to come with you I'm tired of meeting parents!"Kiara smirked, "Oh no that's not good! My parents are on the way so you will also meet them.""Mommy, isn't that bullying?"The tiny voice of Cassie at the doorway snapped Kiara out of her maniacally laughter."Bullying? Why would you say that?" She asked her daughter with a small smile trying to look innocent."Well, you told me that forcing someone to do something they don't want to do is bullying," she replied with a frown."Oh, but I'm not forcing your aunty to do anything," Kiara insisted.Cassie shook her head, "Nope, ask aunty Shelly nicely I'm sure she would go with you."Kiara
Chapter Eighty-ThreeAdam beamed happily as he stood on Kiara's porch. He rang the doorbell once waiting excitedly and nervous. He counted to ten but still, there was no response.Then as he was about to ring the doorbell again, the door swung open with full force and he saw Shelly glaring at him."Shelly?" He called not bothering to hide the surprise evident in his voice."You!" She jabbed a finger on his chest."Ow!" He winced slightly, "What have I done?"She narrowed her eyes to slits as she continued glaring at him, "If you hurt Kiara you won't leave this place alive!"Wait, what?!"Thank you for the warm welcome, may I come in now?" His voice was dripping with sarcasm as he flashed her a wide smile.She rolled her eyes then made a "hmmph" sound before opening the door wider for him to come in."Kiara, Adam is here!" She hollered before sitting down on the sofa her eyes still on him.He t
