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 Sixty-FourWhat happened in the next ten seconds while Shelly was almost bursting with joy was something she would forever tease Kiara with.While she was having an inside jump about the little kiss Kol planted on her cheeks, Tracy had gave a loud screech and charged at Kiara.It was an unexpected attack that no one had time to react not even Kiara and that was what prompted the scream.It was from a startled Kiara wrestling to get up from the ground where Tracy had her pinned to, sitting on her and pulling at her hair.The initial shock wore off everyone before Kol pulled his sister off her victim, holding her in a death grip."Let me go!" She growled like an angry lion.Shelly and Cindy rushed towards Kiara and pulled her up from the ground. She had some bruise on her arm and her hair was tattered and hung in awkward angle.Shelly took one look at Kol's face and flinched. He looked pissed, his dark eyes
Chapter Sixty-FiveA stalker?!Shelly almost screamed bloody murder, almost__the cold glares Mrs. Parker was throwing her ways had her swallowing her scream and staring at the text that was still flashing in front of her phone.She reread it, a shocked expression on her face.If you want to know the truth, reply.The message was from an unknown number.Her phone beeped again.Guess you ain't interested, bye.She was quick to type back.The truth about what?She watched her phone silently for a while waiting for it to vibrate but nothing happened. She then focused her attention back on Angela__this was so much better than calling her Mrs. Parker, it was a mouthful."...this will no longer be condoned from you."She caught the last words but she didn't understand shit of what it meant.Her phone vibrating on her lap jolted her from the conversation. She looked down and saw a new te
Chapter Sixty-SixShelly stared at the scene before her and cringed. She was going to die today. Bianca was going to murder her in this quiet place and no one would know a thing.Kiara got off with a few bruises while she was going to get off with lots of bruises and a ticket to hell__wait why will she go to hell she didn't do anything to warrant that ticket. So heaven it is."I don't know what's going on in that weird mind of yours but I sure as hell am not about to murder you," she heard Bianca's voice snapping her out of her trance.Oh my gosh! She knows I know she wants to murder me. I've got to make a run for it. She looked around her environment and sighed.It was just massive land almost like a desert and nothing else, apart from land till the road they drove in through.She had been so caught up in the song she hadn't paid attention to the road.Damn Ed Sheeran music for taking her mind off her enemy! She cursed
Chapter Sixty-Seven"I thought you were in danger!"Shelly glared at her for the fifth time in less than five minutes today. She was pissed right now."Shelly talk to me, what are we gonna do?" Cindy cried in an alarming voice.Shelly looked down on the body of Bianca sprawled on the ground looking lifeless and a panicking Cindy still holding the murder weapon looking like she didn't care she had killed someone.Okay, maybe she was exaggerating. Bianca wasn't dead_yet but will be if they don't do something soon.Cindy had come flying down the hills like a tasting tornado and had knocked her out with a really heavy stick and now she had an unconscious Bianca on the ground."I saw her from afar, I thought she was strangling you!" Cindy cried again.Shelly fixed a piercing look at her. "I screamed bloody no!""I thought you were struggling!"Shelly arched a brow at her. "Seriously?!""Don't blame
Chapter Sixty-Eight"Finally!"Shelly glared daggers at Cindy and took a big swing from the wine bottle she was holding."Shut up!"She saw a small smirk on Kiara's lips, "So you were drinking while driving?""The fuck I was!" Shelly snapped."Whoa, chill out," Kiara replied, raising her hands in mock surrender."Why are you drinking and why did you even drink while driving?" Cindy asked in an alarming voice.Shelly shrugged, "I believe that's my business."Kiara smirked, "How did you manage to get home without a ticket?"Shelly rolled her eyes. Her head was spinning from all these excessive WH-questions they were asking her. Like whose business was it anyway if she was drinking and driving or if she got a ticket?"I know you're talking about us in your mind," Kiara said in a chirpy voice.Shelly drowned her bottled, "Fuck you!"Cindy gasped at her, amazed, "How do you do it?"

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
