Tamara's POV
The sound ofm alarm penetrated into my ears. "Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed, while jerking up from my sleep. I just hope I wouldn't die soon of heart attack, this alarm would never cease to startle the hell out of me.I fumed inwardly, while glaring at it on the nightstand beside my bed.I placed a hand on my chest and released a sigh of relief."Stupid thing" I muttered and slowly crawled out the bed.I should better start preparing for today's activity. I stepped into thebathroom, I picked my yellow toothbrush and applied some toothpaste before brushing my teeth.I was done brushing after a while, I hurriedly uncladded myself and stepped under the shower to have my bath.After some minutes,I rushed out of the bathroom and got to where my small bag was lying, I really don't have much wears anymore but that's my least problem for now in as much as I don't go around naked, then people should feel free to say whatever they want.I quickly I applied my body lotion even if i don't have dresses, I should always glow in my own world right?. I put on my jean trouser and yellow hoodie. Yellow was one of favorite color.Gosh! .. Not again! I almost scream loudly.Why do I always forget to wash this goddamn shoe? Well.. It's not my fault though, I resumes by 8:00am and close at exactly 8:00pm.Whoa.. Talking about the time, it was almost my resumption time and I am still here, talking to God knows.In a blink, I used a rag to clean up my only shoe and rushed out of my room, hoping not to meet him in the living room.I was glad I didn't met him, I quickly motioned to the main door and stepped out.It's another beautiful day.. HmmmI walked alongside with a young pretty girl in the pedestrian lane. Yes, I actually walked down to my working place everyday since where I live to my working place is just a throw stone and..Oops! Pardon my manners I haven't introduced myself yet, I love talking so much. My name is Tamara but you can simply call me Mara. I am Twenty one years old. I am light skinned with a very long and silky black hair which I love most about myself because I barely have time to take proper care of my hair.And yes.. You need to see my dark blue eyes it's another reason I stopped regretting why I was brought to this earth. I so much love it! I was born and brought up here in Paris.My childhood experience was not like that of other children and that was because I had lost my mother since birth. According to what I heard, my mom gave up to ghost while giving birth to me. And belive me when I say, It's so painful my Dad still blames me for my Mom's death.He would always remind me that i brought nothing but bad luck into the Family, so that brought his strong hatred towards me.He despises, he hates me, he doesn't like to spot me around him. He always find joy in hurting me, seeing me in despair pleases him so much.My eyes became soaked as I remembered that night he had forcefully took my virginity, I cried, I begged him, but it all turned to his deaf ears.I wiped the tears that were now rolling down my cheeks - Mom was not being fair, she should have just took me along with her, this life doesn't worth living. Well, except for the fact that I was still hoping to meet my one and only Celebrity Crush, RODNEY SHAW.He has been my only source of comfort and happiness right from teen. Rodney has been singing since when he was four years old. But he started his acting career five years ago. He's just too good.I am very sure I'm not the only die hard fan of Rodney, but if we are to be rated, I would definitely come first. His angelic voice melted my heart each time I listen to his songs, I always imagined myself sitting next to him whenever he appears on my TV screen.A wide smile crept up on my face.Rodney Shaw was all i have, although, I only get to meet him in my dreams and most times, I talk to his pictures whenever i am depressed. But I was still glad that I am fortunate to see him in my dreams, some ladies might even be praying to be in my shoes.I didn't quite fancy cute guys or something, but I guess there's something that got me connected to Rodney. For Crush sake! I've been crushing on this guy since I was little and I never for once met him. Pathetic, right?My Dad never permitted me to attend any of his shows, I could remember vividly when he had a concert in the city, I tried my possible best to sneak out but unfortunately for me, I was caught and I was grounded for straight two weeks. So ever since, I gave up and ride on with my loner life.I was still in my deep thought when a car suddenly halted in front of me and it was not just a car, I mean a fascinating and breathtaking one.Oh my world... Obviously, the car owner was stinkingly rich.I was still admiring the car when a guy in black suit suddenly came down from the expensive car, he walked to the other side of the car and pulled the side door opened. The person slowly alighted from the car, one could tell from the figure that it was a man. He was backing me at first, but when he turned towards my direction, I could feel my heart beat stopped."What?!" I shrieked.Was I imagining things again?-Tamara-"What?" I shrieked.This can't be true.I mean if this is actually one of my dreams then I better wake up already.I batted my eyelashes rapidly to ensure i was not dreaming, But Hell no! I am not dreaming right now, the Almighty Rodney Shaw standing was few meters away from my working place.Without thinking, I scurried to where he was standing and jumped on him, happily.Oh goodness gracious!He's real.I wasn't dreaming nor hallucinating.It was really my Rodney Shaw- the love of my life.His guard tried pushing me away but I didn't oblige.What a dream come true!Who would have thought I would be embracing Rodney right now, inhaling his massive scent.I couldn't help but smile sheepishly to myself as I buried my head in his chest. Suddenly, I was brought out of my thought when someone pushed me with force and before I knew it, I was on the bare floor."Ouch!""That hurts" I yelped, silent
Rodney Shaw's Pov I hummed to one of my music album, while stepped out of the bathroom, dripping wet. A white towel was wrapped around my waist.I strode to where the dressing mirror was standing to check my gracious self out.I stood in front of the mirror, taking in my perfect abs, my curly dark hair, that cute pink lips any lady would kill to have a taste.So perfect!"Why are you so perfect?" I asked myself. "It's because you are exceptional" my subconscious mind replied. "Thanks buddy" I told him and smiled.After a brief while, I was done dressing and ready to leave my room when a knock came by."Who's that?" I asked."It's Marian, sir" A maid replied."I came to tell you breakfast fast is ready" she added."Oh.. I will be there in a jiffy" I told her and she left.I gulped down the rest of my coffee and stepped out. I was replying a message on my cellphone when the gatekeeper wa
-Tamara- "Welcome home, Princess" I heard his baritone voice and I flinched.He switched on the light and I could saw his disgusting face, with a smirk plastered on it."Won't you greet papa?" He asked, still smirking but I only swallowed very hard."Look, he glanced up at the wall clock- this is 9:00pm. I have warned you severally about you coming home late, isn't it?" He asked with a cold voice now and without been told, tonight won't be good."Answer me!" He yelled and I flinched again."I..trekked..down home" I stuttered, with my eyes fixed on my feet."Wow.. You've done well, sweetheart" He said, sarcastically."You trekked from your working place to your home with an hour? " He asked, walking closer to where I was."Father, I am sorry... " but before I could complete my statement, he landed a slap on my left cheek and I think I saw stars."You are always sorry!""Aren't you tired of always being sorry?" He asked w
Jason POV "I miss you too, Mom" I said into the phone."C'mon Mom, I promise I will be home by weekend" I assured her for the second time, while fiddling with my car keys. "I will definitely..." I was saying but all of a sudden, someone bumped into me from my back, causing my cell phone to fell down and shattered on the floor.AlrightSomeone nose is getting broken tonight. I thought angrily.I turned abruptly as anger laced through me.OhA lady?"How dare you?" I roared and I could sense the fear in her eyes as her whole body vibrated.How could she be so stupid?"I didn't..mean..to.." She stuttered and I became more furious."Do you know what you just did?" I shot at her but she only stared down at her feet. "I am so sorry" She muttered and I scoffed."You are sorry? ""Would your sorry fix this?" I asked her switching my gaze to where the phone was lying on the floor.She was not saying anyt
Tamara POVI dallied into the phone's repairer workshop the following day, hoping he would be able to proffer a solution to the shattered phone.“Good morning, Jones,” I greeted, dolefully.“Hi Mara”“What's up?” He replied, cheerfully.I brought out the phone from my small purse and gave it to him, and a smile ran across his lips.“ You've got a nice catch? Huh,” He winked-smiling sheepishly.I respected him a lot ever since he had helped me repair one of the phones my dad spoiled, without collecting a dime from me.“Jones, I am not here for jokes this morning and as it is, I am running late for work already, so please answer me” I said solemnly.“Hm mm… Someone looks so sad,” He said as he kept checking the phone.I stood opposite his table while watch him checked the phone. I just pray it works.“Well… This phone cannot be repa
Rodney Shaw POV,I stormed into the mansion and headed straight to my room, ignoring the few maids who were greeting me.I got to my room and started throwing things,I kept ruffling my hair while I paced my room angrily.F·ck!I picked the bedside lamp on the nightstand and smashed it against the wall.“Argh” I groaned and began to throw the pillows on the floor.I really wanted to listen to her, I badly needed an explanation.Why did she leave me?How could she leave me in such state?I turned around abruptly and stared at my reflection in the mirror.'She left you when you needed her the most' Sienna words reeled through my mind and rage crept up in me again as I hit my knuckles against the mirror, which came shattered into pieces on the floor immediately.Blood oozes out of the wound, but I didn't care, the pain was nothing compared to my broken heart. I crouched to the floor, weeping profusely.
Tamara POV“You will become my personal maid for the next three months” He declared in a finality tone and my jaw dropped.“What? “ I bellowed.Is he being serious now?“You heard me right?” He said in a deep voice, while he removed a strand of his hair from his forehead.Well. I don't care now.“What do you mean I'll become your personal maid?” I asked with a frown.“I mean, I have another work, and you know that.” I blurted as a matter of fact, but he seems less bothered as his expression holds an impassive one.I am done for!“How do I cope? “ I lamented.“Well… I don't care,” He replied bluntly, and believe me when I say I feel like slapping senses into his numb skull.He didn't say anything, and I decided to speak up.“Please, I beg of you, I will become your personal maid but only on weekends” I pleaded as I rubbed
Tamara POVI plonked myself on the bed and allowed my eyes traveled to the white ceiling, staring at it blankly.'And also, you will be my date to Rodney city show' The phone owner words reeled through my mind and I scoffed. I plopped my head on a pillow, still not looking away from the ceiling.Of course, I should be happy,I meant, finally I was going to be attending his show.But my subconscious mind kept telling me it's not going to be good.And that jackass!I didn't even know his name.Why did I have this strange feeling about him?First, he asked me to become his personal maid and now, I should be his date to the city show. Gosh!Who does that?What exactly did he want?Oh, Mara!I just hope he was not going to sell me off.I heaved a massive sigh.Rodney, if I get to meet you tomorrow at the city show, then trust me you are going to hear it from me.You've really caused me a lot. I rolled
Rodney POV,Few weeks later…“Hey buddy” I heard from behind and I turned to the person. Jason.I nudged his arm and asked, “How are you, bro?” he nodded. “The decorations are really captivating,” He glanced around the whole hall with admiration.“Yes, it is,” I nodded in agreement as I also watched the men at work. “It's so obvious you really can't wait to confess your love to her,” Jason joked, earning a soft chuckle from my mouth. “To be sincere, I feel so nervous about the whole thing,” I told him, and he laughed silently. “I understand it's your first time Rodney, but you really have to do this before it's too late” He advised.“And remember, I still have my eyes on her” He teases with a knowing smirk on his lips and I couldn't resit the urge to hit his arm as we both laughed out loud.“Uh mm, Jason, don't you think you should come along w
“What?” They all said, simultaneously.“What are you saying, mom?” Rodney asked with a light chuckled as he come closer to me on my seat. “What do you mean, Margaret?” Michael added, and I could feel his eyes on me. I finally looked up after a momentary silence and I met their gazes on me.“I'm sure Margaret told you she had a twin sister,” I told Micheal. He stared at me for a while before nodding his head, I heaved in a long breath. “I'm Madelyn; her twin sister,” I confessed, bringing my face down shamefully.A short silence stepped in;what would they be thinking now? I thought, still not looking up to their faces.“I'm not getting this straight, Margaret, what are you saying?” Michael half yelled as he stood on his feet.I glanced at Rodney stunned face and turned to one of the white couch in the living room, staring blankly at it.I breathe out and made myse
Sienna POV:The unknown guy removes his face cap, and I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth as I trembled on my feet.I murmured. “What?”I glanced at Margaret and caught her smiling to herself. “What are you doing here, Patrick?” I growled at him and then he smiled.“I'm here so serve as the only proof to the whole family” he replied dryly as he looks at everyone faces. Everyone were already standing on their feet, watching the whole drama with keen interest, including few maids.“Tell me you are joking, Patrick” I made to charge towards him, but Margaret stood between my way. “It's over Sienna, just let him speak” She said with a light smirk lingered on her lips.She turned to Patrick and beckoned to him to start talking, and I could feel my heart drop.Is this really happening?“You can't do this to me, Patrick,” I told him, and he bowed his head slightly.
Rodney POVAfter two weeks…I knocked softly on her door, “Mom” I called.“Come on in, son,” I heard her gleeful voice from inside. I bent the doorknob and walked in.She was sitting on the bed with her glasses on.She looked up from the book, I assumed it was a magazine, and smiled at me.“Come on, don't just stand there” She cooed, I smiled widely before walking closer to her on the bed. She tossed the magazine aside and pulled me close to her.I chuckled as I placed my head on her thighs.I watched her as she removed her glasses and dropped it on the nightstand.“Son” She called warmly as she shoved her left hand into my hair, I shut my eyes. “Hm mm” I replied, enjoying her warmth hand in my hair.“Naughty boy” She says and pulled my ear playfully. We remained like that for a few minutes, while stroking my hair tenderly.“Don't you think it
After a long drive, we eventually arrived at our destination. Henry screeched and halted the car, and we both stepped out afterwards.Where's this place?I thought, taking my eyes around the whole place; it was an estate.“Shall we, ma'am?” Henry snapped me out.I forced a small smile before I gave a nod.He walked ahead of me, while I followed behind him, we approached a cottage.Oh, Lord!!What's really happening?Henry climbed the pavements, I stopped walking, feeling so scared. I guess he noticed; because he turned to look at me with a genuine smile on his face.“Don't you trust, Mr. Rodney?” He asked me, warmly. I look forward around the whole surrounding again and breathe out heavily before climbing the pavements.He bent the doorknob and paved the way for me to step in. I took my eyes to his face and he offered a reassuring smile.I finally walked in, and I couldn't help b
The next morning…Rodney took his mom's right hand in his palm, without removing his gaze from her sleeping face. I also watch her on the bed with pure adoration.Yesterday, reconciliation was really touching; I couldn't help but cry along with both mother and son. Rodney wouldn't stop asking for her forgiveness; and she would just smile at him, lovingly.The woman really seems so nice.“Forgive me, mom” I heard him mumbled.I placed my right hand on his back, but he didn't budge, he only watched her face; stroking her right hand tenderly.I heard a soft knock from outside, I slowly stood up to get it; I bent the doorknob as soon as I got to the door and opened it widely for the person.Oh, Joanna!?I was actually thinking it was a nurse.I turned to return into the room, yes; it was a room; I learned it was their personal hospital.I walked back to my previous position, next to Rodney.I watched her as she
Rodney POVI heard Tamara shrieked as soon as she pressed her both hands to her ears.I looked forward from her face, and before I could register what was going on, I quickly placed my legs on the brakes, but it was too late, I had already knocked the woman down with my car.I hurried out of my car with Tamara scuttled behind me, and before I could catch her, she already landed on the floor.I was beyond shocked as soon as I recognized the woman's face, I stood rooted for a while as I watched Tamara rushed to her, I beat her to it, I rushed to her and crouched behind her and lifted her to my chest. I hugged her to myself. “Mom!” I yelled on top of my voice.People were gathered already as they watched the whole scene, while some took their time to record it with their phones, but I was less bothered as at then.Henry would have stopped them had it been he was here. “I'm so sorry, Mom” I wept profusely, she opened her eyes &ldqu
Rodney POV.“Then believe me, your nose is getting broken soon,” I threatened through clenched teeth, while I ambled towards him.He stood properly with his hands in his pocket as we both glared hard at each other. “I hate repeating myself, Jason, where's the girl?” I asked calmly, he chortled. “You are very funny, bro” He nudged my chest, amidst laughter.And immediately he stopped laughing, “You can't just come into my house and order me around, she is mine Rodney, so stay off” He snorted, I let my eyes stayed on his figure while I adjusted my shirt collar. I really don't have the strength to fight him today, I should just go get her myself.I brushed my arm past his to climb the stairs since we were so close to it, but only for him to dragged me by my collar and I couldn't help it any longer. I threw a blow to his face, causing him to land his silly ass on the floor.Good,He groaned inwardly and stru
Tamara POVThe following morning,“Good morning” I greeted Jason with a slight bow, he smirked while gesturing for me to take my seat.“You still want to become my maid, isn't it?” He teases, earning a little smile from my lips.“How was your night?” He asked after I took my seat across him in the dining room, I beamed. “Thank you very much for saving me, I'm deeply grateful,” I told him sincerely, staring at his face.“You shouldn't thank me, I still owe you an apology, you know?” He said in a low voice, more like a whisper, with pleading eyes. I furrowed my brows. “What apology?”“For everything, for being a jerk all those time we spent together; I am truly sorry,” He apologized, his eyes fixed on the flower vase on the dinning table. “It's okay, Mr. Jason” I told him, he frowned, looking cute.“Mr. Jason, Really?” He asks.“Af
