" Mr. James if I am not wrong according to Hanna your sister, you were with her on twentieth of July at nine-ish pm , but what you are saying now is that you were with her at seven pm that night and later went back home at eight pm. One question is, where were you? "
"I have already said where I was at times she forgets some things "he answers arrogantly again. This man!!
The court proceeds for another twenty minutes before a recess is declared. Ooh boy I'm so tired. I've been concentrating on this case for the past two months and it's all hell. Mr. Peter James is being accused of sexual harassment by Mrs. Peris Johnson a sixty years old lady.
"Nice argument Miss P, " Mary one of my friends from the jury says. " between me and you, "she whispers "this man looks like a rapist "
"That's so rude Mary! "I scold her laughing while walking out of the court room.
"We both know am saying a fact. Word has it that you are the one taking the Coopers case "
"Shit!" I mutter and his glare turns to me. Ooh double shit now."Ooh hi Miles, what brings you to my office today?" I ask sweetly. Miles being the good guy he is replies so sweetly of how he missed me so much and decided to pay me a visit! Note the sarcasm. He ignores me as if I didn't just ask him a question. "Isaac tell your dad to fuck off or I'm gonna kill him with my bare hands." he angrily says."I'm sorry for what he did to your family. That's why I came to Miss P to....""You clean up their messes?""I only did it less than five times""Twelve" Isaac says."Get out now!""But it's not your office "Isaac protests."I said get the fuck out before I punch your face" Miles angrily replies. With that Isaac runs out of my office without wasting any second. He just left me with an angry lion that is ready to pounce on its lunch."Sit your ass down." He commands me as he sees me walking towards the door. It's not like I was trying to flee. He locks the door and looks at me with a co
"No Pearl leaves it" I've been screaming almost for a half an hour for my son to stop messing around in my room. Right now he is on top of my dressing table with my lipstick in his hands."But mom I want to apply it." He says already applying it. What will I do with him now?"That's enough fun and make up for a day. Get off my table.""Not until you give me ice cream." This kid is trying to make me bribe him."Ok. "He smiles at me and jumps down. He remains silent for a while allowing me to continue with my work in peace. I'm happy that he's finally calm or asleep or as I think."WELCOME TO WAKANDA!" he shouts in my ears startling me. Behind me is my son in no clothes and I mean none with my black lace panties on his face as a mask and my bra as his shirt. Please help me God. Blame ken for watching The Black Panther with Pearl earlier yesterday night."Pearl! "He runs out of my room giggling as he sees my hard stare. I decide to finish my work of the day and run after my cutie who is
Pearl and Dannie are currently in his room playing I don't know what ,Ellie is asleep on my bed ,me and Miles are currently talking about everything. So far dinner has been good.His favorite color is blue; he likes sleeping and watching comedies. He once had a pet cat that loved his sister more than its owner, him. He hates being around anyone who smokes. He met Annie in a fashion show which he was forced to attend. He hates attention, he loves nature; mostly rainbows. He was a total nerd in high school. He is the eldest of three. Well that sums up to most of it."I had a great time today, thanks for the dinner." He says as he looks at his watch. "I better be going I have an early morning tomorrow""Its okay lemme get Dannie." I say and walk towards Pearl's room. It's so silent in there. I walk in on Dannie and my son asleep on his bed with both of them in some Spiderman costume. I laugh and walk out."They are both asleep and Dannie looks too cute to wake him up.""It's getting late
To say we didn't get in trouble was not one way to describe what mum did to us. After mike explaining everything that happened, she grounded us. Me and ken tried to protest but she added one more week to the one week we were grounded for. The triplets were grounded for only a week! Mum was glad of what we did though she didn't say those words exactly." he deserved what he got" those are the words we heard her mutter. Since ken and I were grounded, we were required to stay at mum's home the time being.I got up so early the next morning since I had the second court hearing of Miles' custody case. I woke up the same time as the triplets and begged mum to look after Pearl today. The triplets were grounded so it means they had to use the bus today the good or walk to school. Me being the good sister I am, decided to drive them to school.It's 8:30 when I make it to the office, because of the traffic jam from the triplets' school. I still have forty five minutes for the court hearing. I fi
"Momma wake up""Just let me sleep P!" I groan as I pull my blanket over my head."But mom we need to go to grandma's place it's her birthday!""Pearl stop shouting before I accidentally smash your head on the ground!" I shout. He stays quiet for a moment before I hear his footsteps fade away.The next time am woken up, is not by Pearl but by fucking sirens. I jump out of my bed and run looking for Pearl only to find him talking to an officer."What is going on here?""Is she the one!!" the officer asks Pearl and he nods his head."This child here called us about ten minutes ago saying that he was kidnapped and you threatened to kill him today after wanting you to take him to his parents. Is it true Miss?""She will obviously deny that, can you please take me back to my parents' home before this horrible woman kills me." He says dramatically. My son can act. The officer signals the other one to take Pearl at the address he was given. Ten minutes later the officer leaves my house laugh
Ellie falls asleep as soon as she is set down on her new bed. I make sure that the other kids are well off before I lock my office door. Miles is stretched on my bed looking at my childhood ceiling."You can be comfortable. I am going to freshen up.""No problem. I will just be here." He says sleepily.I make brush my teeth before I head to the shower. I make sure I have my towel with me before I undress and leave my clothes in the bathroom floor. As I begin washing my hair, my ass is smacked making me shriek."It's just me Amie.""You scared me Miles!" I say my hands on my heart."Stop being so dramatic.""What are you doing here?""I came to shower with you." He says and takes my shampoo and begins applying on his hair."Can I do it?"He nods and hands me the shampoo. His hair is so soft. He moans as my hands begin washing his hair. I know he is enjoying this too much, well since I know how it feels when someone washes or massages my head. All this time he moans as I continue washin
"Mama can I tell you a secret?""Go ahead Pearl.""Pinky promise you won't tell a soul "he says bringing his pinkie forward. I do as he said and wait. "Dannie says he wishes you were his mother. ""Wait, when did he say that?""During our sleepover last week. He said you are good to him and Ellie all the time and that he loves you.""Oooh. Wow ""No that's not all he was like 'Pearl I love your mum, she is the best and she loves Ellie and me. Can I share your mummy' and I was like 'it will be so cool we will be brothers 'and he was like 'that is nice and he asked me not to tell anyone "I laugh as he completes all in one breath. "Why did you tell me then?""You're my mama and we don't have secrets""Is that all?""Nope, can Miles be my daddy?""I don't know honey. "He nods and gets up "okay I will have to ask him then. Bye Mama Kenna is already here, don't be late for work. "he says as he opens the door for my sisters who are babysitting him today.All day at work I'm thinking of wh
Miles dropped the kids off earlier than we had agreed since he wanted to spend more time with them. He packed almost the whole closet of their clothes and almost all their toys. He just left for the airport twenty minutes ago and here I am making dinner for us."Mama can I use your phone?" Pearl asks"for what?""I want to show Dannie the game you always let me play.""okay but only the game." I say and he happily takes my phone and runs with it."Pearl no running in the house!" I shout at him"okay mama" he shouts back.Baby Ellie who just learnt to crawl, crawls to where I am and starts to make some baby noises while chewing her toys leg."princess don't eat that" I say while taking it away from her and that's when she starts screaming. I swear this baby is a time bomb. She screams while flaring her little arms at me indicating she wants to be picked up. I pick her up and she immediately stops crying and rests her head on my chest giggling. I told you time bomb.She refuses to get o
“No MILES STOP”“MILES YOU ARE GOING TO KILL HIM IF YOU DONT STOP!”“HE DESERVES IT” he says throwing another punch “HE IS A BASTARD!”“PAPA!” that is the voice that makes him pause in throwing another punch“PEARL” he notices“Are you batman! YOU SAVED US!” Dannie shouts hugging his father’s legs“Why are you punching uncle “my innocent son asks“HE IS NOT YOUR UNCLE”“But mama, he said he is, he gave us food and toys and my other mum said he is our uncle ““That bitch!” Ken saysAll this started two hours ago*TWO HOURS AGO, *It has been 3 days since the kids are missing, we have looked for them everywhere, but they are nowhere to be found, Miles and my siblings were tired of using the right way to find them and now through their connections, they are talking with one of their ‘friends’. I did not want to, but we had to, right now we are all bundled in Miles’ huge ass office listening as Xavier explains to us on his ways, he is the “FRIEND”“Missed me fam” a very screechy familiar
UNKNOWN POV The first time I saw Amanda was about seven years ago, she was still so young. Her face lit up whenever she talked about anything. She had that beautiful innocent face; you know the dimples and all with minimal make up on. She was in her internship in the same company that I had been working for by then. I did not have the courage to talk to her because she was so confident, and she looked like she could not even go for a guy like me. By the time I had mastered the courage to ask her out, Tristan had already asked her out. I blamed him for that because he knew I liked her from the start, but he liked her too. For years I saw them happy, and it was painful for me to watch her happy with someone else. I always pretended to be happy for them but deep down I was heartbroken. In the next few years of their lives, I saw them happy, and they were so cheesy for my taste. Tristan knew all of this, but he still treated her badly, he still cheated and was so abusive to her after sh
Amanda POV "Miss P have you had anything so far?" "no I have not had anything, but I hope that I'll hear something because I'm already stressed right now"it has been 15 hours since I found out that my kids are missing, Miles is pacing upside down here I am sitting on the couch with my phone waiting for another ransom call or even a message or even a video of my kids to know that they're OK but I'm getting nothing. Ken, who came by when my parents came, has called like every investigator and detective that we know and those good ones. Nothing so far, most of them are saying they'll try and help but nothing so far. "Mama, do you think my kids are safe call ma""I don't know Amanda, let me hope their safe there my grandkids I know they'll be safe because I trust, and I believe in them" my mother says"Sis do not worry my nephews and niece will be OK look at how Pear is that kid does not let anyone literally anyone hot early even hold early for a second if he is not present. Also look
Unknown POVI have been observing the for more than three months now but I never acted . However today , I acted . I always thought with all their protectiveness and fame , my plan would have never succeeded.My plan at first was just to scare them but now I know they are terrified. The first thing I did was divert their attention towards something else , Tristan. I have known for a while that he is alive . According to how he was living I'd like to say he did not want to be found.When Tristan was presumed 'dead' I knew that was too hard to believe because the one I knew could not have just died that way . Two years later I came to find out that he is now living in South Africa and he was now a school teacher. That's so not like him, he had a girlfriend and an eight months old daughter. Bringing him back was so hard but I had to blackmail him so that he came. I had to use his daughter as a leverage for him to help me I guess his near death experience really changes him because the
AMANDA POV"Wake up !" "Amanda!""Why are you shaking me this violent!" As I shout , that's when I hear the smoke detector. "Miles what's going on?""I don't know, but I woke you up as soon as I heard the detector. Let's go and check on the kids!"On our bedside watch it reads 1:28 am . We hurry to the kids room only to find the room empty. "Fuck no where are our children?""I don't know, last night they were just here "The smoke detector was on but as we notice , there is no smoke or even a fire . Someone made the false alarm happen. We decide to look for the kids in all the rooms.Ten minutes later , there is no sign of even one kid. This is really bad , someone took our children. "Amanda call your mum , I'm calling the police" Miles shouts while ruffling his hair. My heart is thumbing so loudly and I bet Miles can hear it. Who took my poor babiesMum doesn't pick up her phone on the first two rings. Let's just hope she is okay ."Amanda it's fucking one in the morning. Why are
Miles POVWith everything going on , I have not been having a good night sleep. What worries me the most is that Tristan may succeed in hurting my family. If he managed to stay hidden all these time it means he is capable of anything bigger . To my knowledge, he is nearer than we thought. He is trying to legalize their family business not his brother. It seems like he has been the brain behind it the whole time. So far he has not sent Amanda or her family any message which is worrying me. His silence is so alarming. It seems like he is almost succeeding in legalizing the family business, but it's my responsibility to see that it may not happen. I can't have them operate their dirty money in this city . So far we have succeeded in sending in some minor cases to them to prevent them from doing anything. We just had some of the workers file a complain about being paid peanuts and working more hours . We made others file a complain on the ethics of the work place . So as for now they h
To say my family is mad is an understatement, they are furious at me. In fact mum just grounded me, Tony is still glaring at me same as my other siblings. At least the kids are happy to see me."Mummy what have you done ?"Pearl whispers "She has been a bad girl "Tony answers him."But guys , I did it for your safety""There's nothing like our safety here Amanda, you were just being selfish !" Andrea says. Ouch that stings"Andie he can hurt all...""That's enough from you Amanda, we always help each other in such situations. The last time we helped didn't we? "Mum asks "stop being a brat and let us help on this we are family. We were all in danger still when you kept us in the dark. I really thought you knew better than this !" "I'm sorry, okay" I say trying to hold back from crying"We are taking over that from now on""But Tony I was the ..""Yeah you were but am in charge now and you are out . Don't give me those eyes Amanda am not falling for those eyes at this serious issue .
"Well that's just a pity for them, because that's their only legal company that was just about to make it" Ken says with a sighAfter telling her that Tristan is alive, she drove herself to my house and begun telling me how am so selfish, shutting myself from her and everyone else, that's true though, but an earful later here we are. "I know but we have to do that , we can't let them have anything""Yeah , so that they may lack money to help them cover up their unjust staff.""First we need to make sure the dad goes to prison for life, that will help reduce some of his allies. ""What crime should we go with this time?""Remember when he was accused of sexual assault in one of his brothels and he was just declared innocent?""Which we all know he wasn't, ""Ken , I found something on the judge that ruled that verdict, we need to go and pay him a visit now...""I missed this,"she beams as she starts jumping up and down "lemme just grab..."She is interrupted by a voice that sends chi
It has been a week since I received that text. It has also been a week since I found out am pregnant. I was with Miles when I found out. He fainted.It has been four good days since I shut everyone out including Pearl. A week since I have seen anyone well apart from those on TV. After I received that message, I had to send everyone away for me to begin my work.Miles thought I was mad since I found out I was pregnant, I know these through his texts and voicemails, no one knows what the real reason is. I needed to do so to concentrate. Am almost finding the person behind the text.Tristan was a good boyfriend but once he found out I was pregnant, everything changed. He became abusive. Not physically though but through his words and actions. To the people on the outside, we were a happy couple, once we were alone, he was different. He fucked anything with a vagina since I refused to sleep with him once he became abusive.I could not bring myself to sleep with someone who judges my body
