My Accomplice

Vivian’s POV

Ken did not have the chance to respond before the cops barged into Jane’s room, so I did not know if he agreed to what I had pleaded with him for or not.

“We are from the police department, and we got a call from Doctor Ken about a murder crime,” one of the cops said.

I looked at Ken briefly, shocked. I didn’t know that he had placed a call through eventually. This very well shows that I cannot trust him at all. My heart began to thump rapidly.

I was done for.

The other cops began to wrap up Jane’s body in a big leather bag. I looked at them, and I began to shiver. Jane was dead. The same person with whom I had waited tables at the coffee shop for days, spent time together at a club, and shared a night at my room was dead and gone, just like that. Then I began to feel horribly bad and guilty for pushing her away after her several attempts to get close to me. It dawned on me that she could have been murdered by the drug lord, although I wasn’t certain, because I did not kn

He still hadn’t talked about Ken’s statement, which even got me really scared and worried, but I tried to maintain composure so that I would not be easily roped in.I even began to think of a possible convincing lie I could come up with even if Ken had decided to sell me out just to save his name and reputation.“What is your relationship with Jane?” He broke the ice after a couple of minutes and asked. I almost suffocated out of relief, if that was even possible, because I hadn’t expected to be asked that question. He thought he was begin to prod me about what I had found when I entered Jane’s room, or even inform me whether Ken’s account on the incident checks mine as well. I itched to find out what Ken told them, but asking would also draw suspicions, and I wasn’t ready for that. I wouldn’t even get out of it if I dragged myself into it.Anyway, I thought about my response deeply, because every r

    Syrus’s POV“Davis, what is going on? Why haven’t I seen or heard from Vivian?” Syrus barked at his lawyer. He was almost about to burst open in anger.“Mr. Vale, please calm down,” Davis said over the phone, cringing at Syrus’s yelling tone.“Do not ask me to calm down! You said the court has signed the legal action against her, and it has been delivered to her, but I still cannot see her!” Syrus bellowed. He was almost tearing the roof of his office down.“I said it was delivered to her residential address, not exactly to her directly,” Davis tried to clarify.“You must be playing with me! Isn’t it your job to deliver it to her by hand?” Syrus queried Davis.“Mr. Vale, I understand your predicament, and I sympathize with you, but that is exceeding my job,” Davis said, trying not to get as offended as he really was about Syrus’s tone. “My job as your lawyer is to draft out the legal action, push it to the court, convince them to sign it, then make certain that it reaches the recipient

She had tried to hold onto me, but I shoved her off and walked away from her.I jerked awake, shivering and afraid. I grabbed the bottle of water by my bedside and gulped thirstily. I could no longer return to sleep for fear of seeing Jane in my sleep again, but even being awake was scarier, because I kept feeling and thinking that every creepy sound was her.The entire night, I was haunted by the thought of Jane.I brushed and showered early in the morning; never have I been grateful that it was dawn already, because the night had been too scary and creepy for me. When I heard a knock on the door, I jerked and even almost passed out in shock. Who the heck could be at the door this early? T

Syrus remembered the first time he had realized his father’s absence; he had eavesdropped on his parent’s argument without his knowledge.“Are you going to keep doing this?! What about Syrus and Bonnie? How do I keep making excuses for you?!” Nancy had yelled at Syrus’s extremely absent father.Growing up, Syrus had barely seen his father. He and Bonnie only saw him once a year, or twice if he was being generous to them. “I don’t care what you want to tell them, Nancy!” His father had bellowed angrily.Syrus had been shocked and hurt. Their mother had told them constantly that their father could not attend their school parties, prom, school games, birthdays, because he was extremely busy with building the company, and she had made them understand that it was necessary that their f

The last thing I wanted was to be here with Doctor Ken, having lunch. Surprisingly, Lori had come to me with a flowing gown that had rose petals all over, and yapping about Ken, her cousin.“I am so delighted that Ken seems to have developed some sort of interest in you,” Lori had said as she pushed the dress gently to me. “He has been way too single for long, and that needs to change,” she had said with a girly giggle.

    Vivian’s POVIt was as though I was dreaming, because what kind of conversation was I having with my supposed doctor? How did I get into this mess? I definitely did not do anything to deserve this! All I had done had been to get registered just like every other pregnant woman, so this just doesn’t make any sense to me.“What do you know about me?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly. Somehow, I was scared of what Ken would say. I know I had met a couple of tricky and bad people; Georgia was one of them, but this was on a different level, and to think that I just walked right into it.“I know that you are the ex-wife of Syrus Vale, who is still very much alive,” Ken divulged.My mouth fell open in shock.“How did you know?” I asked Ken, shocked to my very core. This was a random meeting, not planned, right? Lori could not have set me up like this. She did not strike me as someone who was capable of doing such, besides, she had given me a harmless recommendation, so how did Ken know? “I

After that, Georgia spent about three weeks in the hospital, recuperating. She still had some money left, so she used it to take care of herself and her basic needs.The first day that Georgia looked at her new face in the mirror, she had been so awed by what she saw that she could only say, “Wow.”That expression carried all the emotions that she felt. Indeed, money was the ruler of life. If Georgia hadn’t taken the risk of stealing that money, she would never have looked this beautiful. Her face and skin were alluring. As Georgia touched her face in the mirror, she felt as though she was touching the face of a star.Georgia’s insides tingled with delight.“If I looked like this in college

Every morning, before she left for her cleaning job, she would stay in front of her cracked mirror and look at her face. Georgia had the body, but just like the male client had said, Georgia began to believe that she was ugly.“This is why they treated me badly. This is why they never wanted to be my friend. This is why they called me all sorts of ugly names,” Georgia would tell herself, sadly touching her face.She had never thought that her face was the problem before now, and she secretly wished that she could be half as beautiful as Vivian or Belinda, her college roommates, or any other beautiful girl out there.More than ever before, Georgia wanted to be a star.She wanted to excel where her mother failed.

Meanwhile, she had lived with the two cruel girls for the entire time they stayed in college, and neither of them knew her name. Every time Georgia attempted to tell them her name, they always cut her off or waved her off. They disliked her so much that they wanted absolutely nothing to do with her.“What?” Georgia had woken up, feeling groggy and sleepy. It wasn’t even up to 8am, and she still had an hour and thirty minutes to rest before getting set for class.“Is she up now?” Vivian asked as she played with her phone on the bed.“Well, the ugly frog is still sleeping as though she

She was always happy to know that she always had an edge over Vivian and Belinda…always.“That is not a polite way to speak to an old enemy,” Georgia said.Belinda looked around, worried that anyone would hear them, even though they were speaking at a private corner in her office.“You shouldn’t have come here, Georgia,” Belinda said angrily. “You have done enough damage, and the least you could do is simply leave me alone.

It was as though she was hearing a weird sound in her ears.“Just like that, they have kicked me out,” Georgia asked as she booked a cab. “I seriously need to get Syrus to buy me a bloody car, and fast!” Georgia said in between.She felt used and tossed like a piece of trash. She never knew about this policy about TV shows and their stars. All along, Georgia had simply thought that a contract was all she needed, but it was obvious that that wasn’t the case. “I should have done everything possible to keep Brenda there,” Georgia said to herself angrily.More realization began to dawn on her; as a star, one of the things about her career is that once one TV show drops a star, the others who had already signed a contract might likely also drop the star.

Georgia could not stop wondering how Nancy managed to know where she now lived. She remembered that the last time they spoke, she hadn’t made mention of any house, and the fact that Nancy was right here, uninvited by Georgia and her look of displeasure was a clear enough indication that this wasn’t a case of peaceful visitation. Georgia watched Nancy enter slowly into the living room and looked around, and because Nancy’s back was back facing Georgia, she could not exactly tell Nancy’s reaction or emotions. Was she upset? Was she enraged? Was she aggravated? Georgia could not tell.“This is quite a lot,” Nancy said, her voice sounding bland.Georgia was almost tempted t
