Harper VargasRide For You The music was so loud it made the ground shake. If my body did not consume so much alcohol then I would start to worry about the cave clasping. My hips swayed to the music as one of Caleb's friends danced behind me. We were having a good time until he gripped my hips and pulled my body against his."You are so beautiful. Do you want to come back home with me?" He whispers in my ear, making bile rise in my throat. "No way in hell, get off me." I tried to pull away, but he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. His disgusting body pressed against my back.He breaths on my neck with his next words. "Why, do you think you are better than me? I thought you were different, but you are the same stuck-up bitch as you stupid friend." He spits rudely.What friend was he talking about? Did he try this with one of the other girls? As if he was reading my mind he said, "I asked that Damn blonde if she wanted to go out with me and the bitch turn
Harper RostovRide For You "That was so badass. Harper, how did you learn to fight like that." Tamia ask. I grab a piece of bacon and push it in my mouth, it's been hours since I had anything to eat and I was so famished, to the point the food tasted even more delicious.It was after two in the morning and the four of us found a nice twenty-four hours restaurant and decided we should have breakfast and coffee to help sober us up. We laughed and talked as if what happened minutes ago did not happen.Ophelia leans against Olivia's shoulder chewing on her pancake, while Olivia sips on her coffee. It turns out that she was not as bad as I thought and she was feeling much better after the incident. Caleb had grabbed her throat and pushed her to the ground when she refused him. The mascara that ran down her face from her tears was washed away and she looked flawless without the ton of makeup she wore. With all that fakeness gone from her face, she looked like an innocen
Harper RostovRide For You It was after five in the evening when I could pull my tired body from bed. When we arrived at the dorm, it was something after four and I was so tired that I went straight to bed without having a shower or brushing my teeth. My appearance was a mess. Hopefully, having a shower will bring me back to life. I'm considering visiting the restaurant we had breakfast at for some of their delicious coffee. I'm hooked on that now, it's my new addiction.After brushing my teeth, I stood in front of the large mirror in the restroom to see my reflection. Tiredness was evident in my hazel eyes, and my hair was dripping water. I did not feel like blow-drying it, so I wrapped another towel around it, grabbed my shower kit, and headed to the room. The bathroom is the only thing I disliked here. Although it is clean, I would prefer to have my privacy whenever I decide to admire myself in the mirror without other girls walking by giving me evil glares. I
Ophelia KeatenBefore University If I had to sit through another photoshoot then I would go blind from the damn lights flashing from the camera and into my face. This was the worst part of being Manny Keaten's daughter. I only see him for a few hours every month and during those hours I was completely devastated. It was draining and nerve-wracking being around him. We might share the same last name and the same blood, but he felt like a stranger.We put on a great picture for the world to see. To them, my annoying stepmother, Camila, Manny, and I were the perfect family. My reality sucks, my life was far from perfect and there was only one person who made me happy. That is Ryan Johnson, my boyfriend. I met him two years ago at the grand opening of Vikings, a new club in Miami. We made things official six months ago and after leaving the shoot I will visit him at his penthouse. I had an early birthday surprise for him that just can not wait."Ms. Keaten th
Ophelia KeatenBefore University "Ophelia?" Someone says shaking me from my slumber. "Helia," The voice says again. I recognize that it was Quin. She is the twenty-four-year-old daughter of Leoni. The woman who took care of me. When my mother left she took over and treated me like I was her daughter. Quin and I grew up together. Even though we were not the closest she treated me like a little sister. Quin was strange, one moment we got along and the next she was distant as if she was hiding something and was scared I would find out. For my safety, I try not to get very close to her or Leonie. Sure they were there when I was a child, but as soon as I reached my teens I spent most of my time alone. The closer we were the harder it would be when they decided to leave me. "Leave me alone, Quin," I mumble and pull the blanket over my head. "Sweetheart it is noon and you haven't left your bed from morning. Your dad wants to talk to you, unfortunately, that
Ophelia KeatenBefore University I was unable to focus on the match. I kept replaying what Quin said to me and how she hugged me tightly as if she was not going to see me again. I was worried about her. She knew things that I did not and that scared me."Hello gorgeous, why do you look so worried?" I glance up at the tall and handsome guy in front of me. He held his jersey in one hand with sweat dribbling from his golden abs. My eyes met Kain's hazel ones before they moved down to his full pink lips that wore a smile. I snapped myself out of it and looked around me, People were leaving and the scoreboard had the scores 159 to 103. Miami Heat won and I missed out half of the game."Congratulations player. I would hug you, but you are all sweaty." I smile at him. He reached a hand forward and I took it, allowing him to pull me up."Thanks, baby, you know we bring the heat wherever we go." He grins showing his perfect white teeth.I roll my eyes and slap his torso. He t
Ophelia Keaten All of what took place led to this moment. My mother did not abandon me because she hated me, but she did it to protect me and secure what was rightfully hers. Manny Keaten threatened me with a marriage proposal and to take away all my possessions when the truth was that none of what he had belonged to him. My mother was the rightful owner of the oil company my father runs. She is the brain and the one who started it from scratch. Manny had been scheming against my mother to send her to a mental institution under pretenses, he wanted to steal all that she had and blackmailed her for crimes that he committed. When she found out she set her plans into place. As soon as I turn eighteen everything will go to me as long as I stay living with Manny. I'm not sure how to feel about my mother leaving me with a man who wanted to harm her, just so I can own billions the day I turn eighteen.The reason why Manny wanted me gone was that he could delay th
Olivia McDonald Going to University in another country was going to cost an arm and a leg. Luckily I have been saving for years, I did side hustles while going to high school so that I could pay for University. It was not legal to sell things on the school compound, but I did that just to get by. I sold snacks and sweets to my classmates so that they could have something to chew on during classes, even though we weren't allowed to eat in class. When the teacher started to suspect me, I had to find another way to make money so I started to sell pens and pencils. Then I upgraded to babysitting and washing cars. When I was in the tenth grade I started my small business called Liv's Collection, where I sell crochet swimwear that I made and also regular two-piece and one-piece sets that I brought from overseas vendors. That was a good business idea and I hope to expand in the years to come.Sometimes business was slow, but other times I received huge orders which was
