Chapter Twenty Nine
"I'm not going daddy and you can't make me!"
Shelly rolled her eyes. Here we go again with the princess being so annoying. Who cares if she joins them for the trip or not. All that mattered is that she had actually done it. They had won the plane tickets for a family vacation.
"Princess, it's not compulsory for you to go alright." Roy patted his daughter's hair.
She smiled. "Oh, of course then. Let's be on our way."
Chase shrinked back from her. "Uhm you go ahead first."
She glared daggers at him and turned towards her dad expectantly. "Daddy?"
"Baby girl run along. The driver will take you home," he said.
"What about you?" She asked surprised.
"Oh, I and Chase will join the Hillarys for a little family dinner and rejoicing then we'll discuss where we are gonna go for the vacation," he replied casually.
Cindy saw red. "What! You're going for the vacation with... them?"
<Chapter ThirtyShelly couldn't help herself or the happiness that blossomed deep within her heart. For once she actually felt at peace and couldn't keep the smile off her face."I believe I'm the reason for your smile." She heard his voice and allowed him to engulf her in a hug from behind. "I missed you," he murmered nibbling on her ear.She giggled. "Stop it, Ace we're in a public place."He gave her a blank stare, "Does it look like I care?"Someone laughed from behind them. "Oh, the joys of young love."Shelly rolled her eyes. It's been two days since her passionate night with Ace and since she had refused to tell Kiara anything about it, Kiara hadn't stopped teasing her any chance she got. Even if it was in an airport filled with trillions of people.Yes, they were in an airport. They had just arrived at Hawaii not up to ten minutes. They were waiting for the others in the arrival terminal as they waited for them to
Chapter Thirty OneWhat happened in the sauna stays in the sauna. And yet, Shelly could not wipe off the giggling or the color that rosed to her cheeks each time Ace stared intently at her. She felt like he could see through her and see all her fantasies she had about him. The experience he gave him in the sauna was just a tip of the iceberg, according to him but if the tip was intoxicating as that how will the main iceberg be, literally speaking."Ugh! I'm sick of seeing your smiling face."Shelly turned towards Cindy, glaring daggers at her. "Then stare elsewhere.""I wish!" She sighed longingly, "This place is boring as fuck!!""No swearing on the dinner table, Cindy." Roy scolded her.They were all seated to dinner in front of the beach and having a splendid meal of sea food and cocktails."Sorry," she mumbled.Shelly ate her food quietly avoiding the curious stare of Kiara and avoiding her boyfriend lovey dov
Chapter Thirty TwoRight there with her friends basking in the evening moonlight and having an uninterrupted conversation without Cindy in it, already deciding that this vacation was the best vacation ever some group of miscrents decided to ruin it for her by revving a motorcycle around them thereby turning them into sand monsters!"Wow! That is so cool!!" She heard a young boy's excited voice.Yeah, he'll see how cool my fist is! She grinned inwardly as she cleared the sand away from her body. Turning towards her friends she saw they were totally unscathed from the sand attack."Don't look at me, look at me." Kiara smirked raising her hands in defense staring at the direction of the engine revving.Shelly turned towards the direction she was staring at and saw a guy jump down from the bike, remove his helmet and shake his blond curls. Even from a distance she knew he had the type of bad boy look, a high school heart breaker. He was d
Chapter Thirty ThreeShelly walked away from the camp fire and went inside, one of the crew members had told her that she was being needed inside by Faye.Walking quietly and listening to the sound of the breeze as it blew softly around her, Shelly entered the first room on her right__according to the directions she received__ she walked in and shivered at the coldness of everywhere. She had barely entered when the door was banged closed and locked with a click.She felt goosebumps rise on her arm and struggled to take out her phone.She finally brought out her phone and turned on the torch light and gave a blood cuddling scream when she realized someone was standing in front of her.Surprised and amused, Faye finally turned on the light. A brightness of white light flooded the room momentarily blinding Shelly."You're no fun!" Faye pouted before taking her phone from her.Shelly groaned rubbing her eyes, "I was sc
Chapter Thirty Four"Honey, it's not a good idea for you to go with them."If looks could kill right now, Roy Champman would be six feet under with the looks his daughter gave him. Cindy had just arrived with the others and told her dad she was going camping and he had tried to stop her__only her and not any other person. How annoying!"Daddy," she called smiling sweetly yet her eyes spoke volumes, it showed anger and embarrassment.Roy was not in the least perturbed, "yes dear.""I. Can. Take. Care. Of. My. Bloody. Self!" She gritted her teeth, cheeks flushing.Roy chuckled. "Alright, Chase take care of my daughter."Ignoring her protests, the rest of the group left her.Shelly walked hands entwined with her boyfriend as she scanned the number of people going camping with them. They were 13 in number and they were all couples except Faye that was walking alone in front. She felt slightly guilty for not trying to
Chapter Thirty Five"I'll go with you to find her," Shelly offered immediately. She had no idea why she had blurted that out but deep down she was very worried about Cindy."We'll all go look for her," Logan added."Nah," Faye who was just joining them objected, "someone needs to be here guiding our camp site and tents.""She makes a good point," Ace agreed, "so I'll go with you guys."Logan stared at them for awhile before nodding."Be careful," Kiara said letting her go reluctantly, "I don't know why you wanna go find her."Shelly smiled. "That's a story for another."~~~~*She left with the two guys, Chase was right in front of them while she and Ace trudged behind. Her heart was racing at the possible thing that could have happened to Cindy and she hoped nothing has happened.They kept walking together till they came to a cross road divided into three.Chase gav
Chapter Thirty SixTurns out both the boys and the bears didn't find them on time but that was supposed to be a good thing right, so why was she feeling so sad. Maybe being so close to her sworn enemy could do that to her, Shelly thought as she stared at Cindy sitting on the ground doing nothing."Come help me," she grumbled at her.Cindy just stared at her blankly before lying down on the grass. "There is nothing to help with."Shelly glared at her. "I'm trying to make fire so it will alert them of our presence."Cindy shrugged. "I still think it's a bad idea. The bear could come for us."Shelly paused to think for a second before she continued arranging the woods. Cindy muttered under her breath while ignoring Shelly."Why you never listen baffles me," Cindy mumbled."You are the one who's not listening," Shelly snapped, "we are supposed to be working together.""We?" Cindy gave her an incredulous look, "
Chapter Thirty Seven"Horrible!" Kiara shrieked.This was like the fifteenth dress Anna was changing today that was termed horrible by Kiara the fashionista.They had left their camp site in a hurry and hit the nearest boutique around the island. The others had gone to secure a venue for the wedding and a priest obviously.So here she was planning another wedding again with Kiara, Cindy and Faye.Looking at the dress Kiara had righteously condemned she couldn't help but wonder how she'd look in her own wedding dress.After staying and changing wedding dresses for extra thirty minutes, Kiara finally found the perfect dress for their bride. Shelly stared at the dress and nodded. It was a simple yet elegant white dress with a deep neckline exposing just a bit of her cleavages and the bodice hugged every inch of her skin clinging to it like a second skin."Try not to seduce our potential suitors," Faye teased as they a

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
