Alex burst out in laughter. He held his side as he doubled over, laughing as if I just told the world’s greatest joke. Even his cronies, all of whom would laugh not because they thought what I said was funny but because Alex is a bully to his gang so they would do whatever he does to avoid being on his bad side.

I wish we would not have this conversation in front of his gang.

“Y-y…!” Alex laughed harder.

I waited for him to finish laughing but as I looked away from him I caught Carol’s eyes. She was on Alex’s right side. One of the gang mates hand held her waist but she smiled at me. I smiled back.

Once Alex was done laughing he straightened in his seat to wipe the tears from his eyes.

“Baby brother,” he chuckled. “You want to manage the business? What do you know about management?”

“I worked with Dad during the holidays, I think I know a lot more than you think, I can take over the business and build it up and it can flourish again.”

“Flourish,” Alex laughed again. “That’s a

    Now I did say it all started 2 days before I met Bianca. Well, I have just gone back in time to tell you everything that happened before that day so let’s go back to what happened 2 days before meeting Bianca.The company was located a little distance from the airport. It was built there because Dad is a strategist and he knows that it’s easier to get to tourists if you are next-door neighbor to the airport. We had flyers and billboards all over the place but all of that meant nothing with the business going under now. And somehow it was almost as if everyone knew there was nothing left of Mainland’s Attraction, one of the best tourist management businesses because every single person I approached to offer my services to ignored me.“Mainland’s Attraction, let me show you the beauties Mainland has to offer,” I said to passersby going toward the exit.They passed me and waved me off. I felt discouraged since not one person wanted my services. I went back home that day feeling depressed

    “Need help with that?” I heard myself say.I was a little disappointed when she barely spared me a glance before she responded. I wanted to catch a glimpse of her hazel eyes again.“Duh. Don’t just stand there, help me please.”Ah, I sighed mentally. Her voice was soft but firm with just a hint of frustration. Her fingers were trying unsuccessfully to tie her unnecessarily complicated bikini ties. Why do women do this to themselves? But she looked good though and some new wicked part of me wanted to watch her struggle. What is this new feeling in my chest anyway? I felt like teasing her so she could stay longer and talk to me but then again I felt sorry for her as the ties continued to slip from her hands so I moved forward, smiling like an idiot, and took the strings from her hands.Tying them was easy. I have dressed Carol too many times than I care to count.“There,” I said stepping back once it was tied and secured enough to hold without falling off again. “All done. Got it tied a

    I tried not to fuck up but it was hard when a new part of me yearning for freedom was now budding. I didn’t want to go through with the mission but as I stood there in the lobby that night after dinner, waiting for the girls I knew there was no way around it. I could run to the ends of the earth and Alex would find me and that is if poverty and loneliness didn’t find me first.Even before the girls came down my heart was already racing with excitement and when they finally walked into the lobby I thought I was going to die.Why does she have to be so pretty?!Sure Siobhan was drop-dead gorgeous, her blue eyes were the most seductive and captivating things you will ever see, yet it was Bianca that made me stare like an idiot. Hopefully, I didn’t drool and completely embarrass myself.Focus on the prize. Focus on the prize, I reminded myself. I smiled at Siobhan and her smile was flirtatious.“Good evening ladies,” I said in my most formal tone, better to appear as unsuspicious as possi

    “What do you mean Edwin and Co’s senior program?” I cried, my face hurting from where Alex had hit in frustration at my latest failed attempt. I never saw the blow coming and it stunned me but what shocked me, even more, was his declaration that I follow Siobhan Hayes and go undercover just to bring her back to Mainland. “It’s such a stupid idea! At this point, I would look like a creep and they would suspect that I have dark motives for moving halfway across the country and for what?! Why does it have to be her? Let’s take someone else please,” I begged.“Your incompetence disgusts me, baby brother. It is Siobhan Hayes or nothing.” He slammed his palm on his face. “God, I can’t believe you! You had this opportunity! How could you let it go?!”I swallowed the tears burning in my eyes. Carol was in the room and Dez too. First of all, I didn’t want to cry in front of Carol and secondly, I didn’t want to buck down and show Alex my weak side. He would pounce on it mercilessly and tear me

    “Please don’t!” Carol cried, putting her hand up.to stop him. “I will go with him, Alex. I will go to Edwin and Co. with him and get Siobhan back.”Alex stopped moving. His eyes were glazed over and he continued to stare at my pathetic state on the floor with Carol cradling my head on her shoulder. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t look like he could utter a word as he stared in a trance. I coughed and blood sputtered out of my mouth. Carol cleaned it up her face etched with worry lines.“I d-don’t…” I managed to say.“You have to.” Her voice was firm, her tone strong. “Come let’s get you away from here,” she said as she helped me up. I took a few steps, grunting in pain as I did and came to stand in front of Alex. He didn’t move out of the way but Carol steered me away from him and helped me as I walked away from the room.I heard a thud and went I glanced back Alex was on his knees on the floor. I looked away but I didn’t hear his sobs as he cried and wondered how he could have beat

    “Who is he?” Was Anton Hayes’s first question as soon as we got into the house. Siobhan’s mom had grabbed her almost as soon as we came out of the car, hugging her and crying as she kissed Siobhan’s hair and face.I think that was about the same time Mrs. Hayes noticed me standing there with my small luggage. Her eyes were hazel unlike Siobhan’s and very curious as she took in my appearance.“He is my classmate,” Siobhan said. “He lives far away so I offered him a place to stay. He can stay here right Dad?”Anton was staring at me a little too closely and I felt uncomfortable but then he grunted and I guess that means yes. A housekeeper came to carry our bags and I suppose she was going to prepare a room for me too.“What happened?” Mrs. Hayes asked, going back to hysterical. “The school suddenly called and asked that all students should be taken out of school. It’s all over the news but no one is saying anything. What happened?”Siobhan shared a glance with me and as she had been doi

It was a nice house but as we walked past rooms and halls I could see that it was lacking financially.How many more lies, Andre?Thinking about him broke my heart because I didn’t know what to think. Just last night we confessed our love to each other and found comfort and pleasure in our bodies. What was he hiding even then? Why wouldn’t he tell me?Even though my heart fought hard against my doubt it felt like everything was a lie. He and Carla – if her name is Carla at all, had it all planned.

    “When we couldn’t have a child I resorted to drastic measures…”“Yes, you invited me to your mom, Mrs. Hayes, under the guise of a friendly invitation, drugged me, and assaulted me in the hopes of getting pregnant when you feared your husband was sterile. You almost destroyed my marriage!” Bianca’s dad yelled holding on to his wife protectively.Judging by Siobhan’s reaction to the news this was the first time she ever heard of it. Her mouth hung open and if Anton hadn’t been holding her she probably would have fainted.“I apologized for that,” Edna moaned softly, her voice croaked. “I know it doesn’t change what I did but I regretted my actions that day, I felt like a monster for almost destroying you, and believe me even now I regret that decision.”“Yet you made another terrible decision, Edna. When does it end? The lies, Edna, when do they end?”“They end now. I’ll tell you what happened.” She sniffed. “Years after we got over that unpleasant issue I found out why we couldn’t have

    When I woke up it was the morning of the next day. My room was bright and I couldn’t open my eyes because of that but when I tried to lift my hand to shield my eyes I discovered there was someone holding it. For a moment I panicked thinking I was back in Mainland, restrained. But when I opened my eyes it was Siobhan and she had tears in her eyes.“Siobhan?”She threw herself at me and hugged me tight. “You are alive! I was worried. I was so worried I was never going to see you again.”I hugged her right back because I had missed her so much. My heart ached at the thought at I could easily have died and never seen her again. But when I released her and saw the bandage on her wrist my heart lurched.“Oh my God Siobhan, what did you do?!” I asked sitting up.She cried and told me what happened and as I listened I found it increasingly hard to believe what she was saying. There’s no way I can be Edna and Anton’s daughter. And Siobhan had tried to kill herself because of that?I felt so so

    Andre’s POVIt was a lot of hours since we got the call from Carol. Anton already had the money ready. The rest of the group had gone to freshen up but I was told to stay back at the hospital.“But, Mr. Hayes, Carol wants me. That’s the only condition she offered for releasing Bianca, the money doesn’t matter.”“I will not leave you to her mercies. You are the only link I have to your father and if I must do something right, I will take you under my wings and look after you like a son. But I want you to stay here and look after Siobhan, make sure she doesn’t try to hurt herself again, and talk to her when she wakes up.”I nodded my head but I was still worried.“What if Carol doesn’t…”“I have enough money to bribe her to leave you alone. I can only hope she accepts it and leaves you alone for good.”Tears filled my eyes as I doved into his arms for a hug. He hugged me just as tight.“It’s the least I do for what happened to your father. Now stay back and keep Siobhan safe.”“Yes, sir

    “I’ve got a call,” he announced to everyone else. We all gathered together, forming a small circle. He waited until everyone was there before picking the call. The phone wasn’t on loudspeaker but I strained my ears to hear what Carol had to say. Of course, she demanded money and made the request I knew she was going to make. Give me Andre Rios.When Anton dropped the phone from his ear he sighed.“Well?” Cole asked impatiently.“She will let Bianca go for a price and in exchange for Andre.”Four pairs of eyes turned to me, three of them curious to know why Carol would make such a specific request.It was Cole who voiced the question. “Why does she want you?” he demanded. “What do you have to do with this?”I started to answer truthfully but Anton interrupted me. “He has nothing to do with it but we will give her the money she wants and negotiate for him,” he pointed at me.Cole wasn’t convinced with his answer but the look in Anton’s eyes was one that demanded respect for his decision

    Bianca’s POV“You said this was Siobhan Hayes!” Dez argued.“I said this is the girl, don’t put words into my mouth, Dez. And try not to argue with me. What did you learn?”Carol had sent Dez out early to scout for information around town. She wanted to be sure the police weren’t on their tail. But Dez didn’t have such good news.“The news is, one of the students missing from Edwin and Co., the Head Girl, is Bianca Davis and she was last seen in the company of a gang woman in Mainland.” Dez, though short had the build of a boxer and from the scars on him, I could see he has been in his own fair share of vicious fights. If I tried to escape how many steps would I take before he overpowered me?I didn’t even want to think about escaping. I just prayed silently that some miracle would happen and I would be allowed to go home.Carol listened to Dez for a moment and then nodding her head, looked in my direction.“Turns out you are causing a whole lot more trouble than I expected.” She turn

    The next morning after a sleepless night I heard a knock on my door. I sat upright in bed thinking it was Siobhan. I was ready to confess now but first I needed to call Carol.But when the door swung open it was not Siobhan that was standing there, it was Edna. Her eyes were puffed and red and she looked extremely vulnerable.“Can I come in?”“It’s your house ma’am, you can,” I responded humbly climbing out of the bed. She walked over and sat gingerly on the edge of the bed. I joined her not knowing what to say or do.“Do you think I am a monster?” she asked. Her hazel eyes stared into my soul. I know what color Bianca’s eyes are, they are hazel but they definitely didn’t look like this woman’s. Yet…the possibility was there. “You are Andre, right? My daughter’s classmate. Tell me, Andre, and be honest with me, do you think I am a monster?”“You did exchange a child for one of the craziest reasons I have ever heard, anyone would think what you did was insane. But you cared for Siobhan
