Kiara and Cindy ran towards her then slumped down on the grass beside her breathing heavily. That didn't deterr them from playfully smacking her arm.
"Ow!" Shelly exclaimed pouting at Kiara, "what was that for?"
"That's for almost giving me a heart attack," Kiara smirked.
"But I saved your ass from Cindy's boring lectur___" that earned her another smack, "___ow! Interesting class"
Cindy smirked at her sticking at her tongue childishly.
"I hate you guys!" Shelly pouted.
"We love you too!" They replied laughing.
They laid down there on the grass foe awhile not saying anything but staying in a peaceful silence and thinking about lots of things on their mind.
Cindy thought about how she fell

Chapter Twenty ThreeShelly groaned and stretched herself on her soft___wait this bed isn't soft? Eyes flying open instantly, Shelly sat up on her bed and realized she was back."I'm really starting to get tired of all these things!" She groaned sitting up on the bunk bed and locating her glasses on the night stand, she placed it on the bridge of her nose and saw everything clearly.The room was just as she had remembered it and though she was glad to be back here, away from Kiara and Cindy's tormenting faces she still felt a pang for not being able to stay there till the wedding day."I mean it's not real but it still looks real," she giggled talking to herself, "it's not as if I would get a chance to see them wed. But truth be told, would I really be okay with both of them getting married real life? Which is real life 'cause I don't know anymore next thing I'll know I'll be thrown into another dimension. Could it be that I'm dead?"

Chapter Twenty FourJust when she thought she got this whole thing all figured out, karma had to come bite her right back in her ass."I'm familiar with that look." She heard Ace voice as he came into her line of sight.She sighed and and ran her hand through her thick blonde curls. "I'm tired, Ace."Ace chuckled. "We all get tired of lots of things one day or rather people."She gave him an appraisal look, "And how do you know that?"Ace chuckled once again, amusement shinning in his black orbs. "I know a lot of things, honey."Shelly grimaced obviously irritated, "care to elaborate?""I'm not the problem here, love." Ace gave her a stare that reminded her of exactly what he was talking about."I need to talk to you. Is there any other place we can go?" She asked him, her eyes betraying a hint of... Was it sadness?"About time," he smirked.~~~~*They took a

Laura asked Shelly for the tenth time today.They had woken up this morning to a heartily breakfast prepared by Shelly and now she was taking them out on a game organized in the village.Today is dedicated to family every year and Shelly intended to make the most of it by carrying everyone along. Her supposed parents, her boyfriend and of course Kiara.After Kiara's trust in her by telling her the mysterious circumstances surrounding her child's birth, their friendship bond had been strengthened even more and Shelly on the other hand had decided to make the most of her time by enjoying in every universe she finds herself in."Yes mom. I wanna hang out with you guys." Shelly smiled at them.Kiara eyed her suspiciously then turned towards Ace, "Do you feel sometimes as if your girlfriend is an alien?"Shelly glared daggers at her while waiting for Ace response. Ac

Chapter Twenty Six"I c...can't b... blive I was talked into this!"Shelly kept a straight face to prevent herself from bursting into laughter and gulping in some of the mud water."Yer dink is onny," Cindy gulped in more of the water."Perhaps if you keep quiet you wouldn't drink so much water, Miss Cindy." Someone in the crowd chuckled."Damn you!" Cindy swore loudly and gulping water again.Ignoring everyone, Shelly raced to the finish line and swam out of the water diving into the neat swimming pool where she washed herself off. Then she returned to begin cheering for her family."You can do it, Kiara. Race to the finish line, Ace. Just one more person and we will advance to the next stage!"A voice boomed from the megaphone. "Thirty seconds left to the end of this round."Huffing and panting, Ace and Chase emerged at the same time diving into the swimming pool while Kiara followed suit. The timer

Good luck families."Cindy grimaced as she listened to the voice. "I thought this competition was over!"Shelly smirked at her. "This is far from over, Princess."Kiara clapped her hands excitedly, "I wonder what the next stage will be?""No need to wonder anymore," Luke clapped his hands excitedly."Mr Lucas I don't think that there's anything to be excited about us being stoned to the floor with puffy balls," Roy shook his head looking rather apprehensive."No uh, it's Luke not Lucas. Lucas makes me feel old so I go by Luke now," he explained.Roy looked a bit taken aback. "Pardon?""I'm explaining why my name isn't called Lucas again," he beamed happily."But... I... Not...

Cindy looked ready to explode as she stared at The smirking face of The Rivals."How is this possible?" Kiara asked."Don't you get it losers, we won the competition just like you guys," the rivals mom smirked."We are going to need to break the tie by another competition," the announcer continued, "your both families will be competiting for the ultimate price.""What's the competition about?" Laura asked slightly irritated."Patience, woman." Luke growled. He was grinding his teeth and seething with rage. He would show The Rivals who the real losers were.Ace, Chase and Roy watched the scene with a bored expression. The announcer had a way of making things boring before he would break the ice and right now the ice they were waiting for was the type of contest they were going to do to prove that

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

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

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

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

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

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
