Chapter Forty Nine"I leave you both for five minutes and suddenly you're thirty minutes away from the house?!""Please stuff something in her mouth, I have a headache." Shelly mumbled stepping into her room with Cindy on her heels while Kiara took the rear end."I'm not going to shut up, Shelly!" Cindy exclaimed, "You look like you're about to pass out!!"Kiara rolled her eyes. "Maybe if you shut up she'd be able to rest."Shelly flopped down on her bed feeling very exhausted. That hallucinating? Whatever it was has left her feeling very tired."Are you sure you can go with us?" Kiara asked worriedly."Of course I can," Shelly replied with a small smile."You could stay back if you're unable to go?" Cindy suggested."No way, guys I'm not missing this." She said excitedly, "We still have eight hours before it will be time for the party.""Alright, how do we kill time 'cause we're going shopping in th
Chapter Fifty"Strut, smile, pose!"Shelly rolled her eyes as Kiara stepped out of the car wiggling her hips and strutting into the house."Hurry up, Kiara I'm very hungry," Shelly grumbled stepping into the sitting room."Nah, I'm cat walking on the runway. It's the red carpet show and I'm gonna have so much fun!"Shelly ignored her and headed straight to the kitchen. She had every intention of making her food herself. Basking into the warm scent of the delicious aroma emitting from the kitchen, Shelly settled down to make her delicious pancakes."Shelly in the kitchen making pancakes," Cindy said in a sing song voice as she entered the kitchen smiling."Get the pan for me, Cindy." Shelly ordered, focusing o mixing her flour and other ingredients to taste.~~~~*Settling down to a wonderful meal of pancakes, jam and warm milk Shelly gobbled her food down."Hurry up, Shell
Chapter Fifty One"Don't say anything I just wanna get drunk tonight."Kiara and Cindy stared at their friend as she stepped out of the house, entering into her black range rover Jeep."Uhm, Shelly go to the back seat ok I'm driving." Kiara suggested.Handing her the car key, Shelly headed to the back seat as she felt a sense of deju và. This was just like last time when they crashed. Could this be a good idea? What if they crash on the way again, there's a possibility of that.Her heart was racing as Kiara started the car. A quick glance at their excited faces including Cindy, made all her fears disappear.She was home now and she wasn't going anywhere.The car pulled out of the driveway and soon they were speeding along the road blasting music from their car, singing along together and laughing."I would really like to see the look on his face when he sees us there," Kiara said in her overly excited voice
Chapter Fifty TwoAdam stared directly at them. The tension in the atmosphere was thick and the smile plastered on his face was a fake one."Yes, this is my girlfriend," he was saying to a young blonde standing in front of them.Shelly stifled her chuckle as Kiara glared at her. She couldn't blame her for enjoying herself immensely in this weird game.The beautiful blonde standing in front of them--for she was indeed beautiful with her flawless oval face, her button nose, and her plump full lips. She was dressed in a cute black leather skirt with a crop white top and a long black leather jacket matched with her black heeled boots and a black handbag.Her face was a mask of pure anger as she stared at Kiara with a mixture of hatred and murder."You have a new girlfriend?" She asked in a sweet tone, gritting her teeth.Shelly stared at Adam again and smiled. He looked confident with the way he was staring at Kiara. They ha
Chapter Fifty-ThreeShelly stared at them and shook her head."No way! You guys aren't seriously considering going to her birthday party."Adam eyed them warily, "I'm more interested in how you guys found me here."Kiara groaned. "We've gone through that already, we arrived her by a coincidence.""Uh-huh," Adam nodded disbelief visible in his countenance."We stalked you!" Cindy exclaimed giggling them suddenly covered her mouth, "Oops! Wasn't supposed to say that."Adam raised his brows at them. "Stalking? Seriously?!"Kiara shrugged, "Look at it this way, you were apprehensive about me but now you need my help.""Can we talk somewhere else, I really wanna go home now," Shelly said.Cindy giggled. "Me too, I wanna ride on a magical unicorn!"Shelly and Kiara laughed."Is she always like this when she's drunk?" Adam asked surprised.Kiara giggled. "She's a light drinker."
Chapter Fifty-FourKol strode into the room with a bored expression on his face. This was the last place he wanted to be but his sister had dragged him along while his best friend had insisted that they owed someone a favor. He couldn't care less about who the person was.His eyes scanned the well-decorated room filled with balloons.Balloon? Really? This wasn't a teenage birthday party, right? Cause if it was, he'd...His dark eyes still scanning the crowd, they landed on a blonde girl with mesmerizing green eyes, not enough to captive him but they were beautiful orbs.He chuckled slightly as the girl gasped staring at him as her life depended on it. He shrugged, just maybe it did you never can tell with girls.He followed Adam's line of view and saw him staring at a brunette with blue eyes, Weird combination but suits her.He grinned when he saw how his friend was staring at the brunette, finally Adam finds love and it's not his sister. How's Tracy holding up?His eyes scanned the cr
Chapter Fifty-FiveShelly was upset. This was her party and she was supposed to enjoy it but she wasn't because of some people she wouldn't mention.Or maybe she should.Lucinda wouldn't let her have peace of mind, she just had to keep on trying to patch things up with her when she wasn't even ready. And she hasn't even seen her father and there was Ace or Kol rather.He had to show up on her fucking doorstep and not even seem to give two shits about her. She damn beautiful and he knows it so why the fuck did he have to act like she does didn't exist.Muttering angry words under her breath, she grabbed a glass of whiskey and took a big sip from the glass. She regretted it instantly as the drink burnt her throat instantly making her eyes fill up with tears.She grabbed another drink and made her way towards her friends-- who happened to be occupied. Cindy was talking to Chase while Kiara was with Adam and a pouting Tracy.She was the only one that was alone because Kol seemed to be enjo
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 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
