Yvonne was seen shopping with her father in a big mall, she showed her father the dress she had on her hands. "Dad, how is this dress, I want to wear it on my next date with him." She turned to the mirror.
"It is gorgeous," Malcolm told her, leaning on the wall, he looked at the happy smile on his daughter's face. "So, have you decided?"
Yvonne blinks and turns to him. "Well...dad, I want to give it a try, I might come to love him, even though he is haughty." She grins and picks up another dress.
"Well, I have seen you want to give it a try, I wish you all the best." Malcolm smiled, this was the first time Yvonne had said she would give a man a try, she had always ended every meeting with a man the first day she met them.
Yvonne looked at the mirror with another purple d
Russell POVI sat down in my room the next day as I remembered what Dominic said about helping our maid and how he told me she is pretty. I have not given much thought to it until this morning when I saw her, she was indeed pretty.I also remembered the flashback I had when I was speaking to him and I was sure it wasn't my imagination. I was not one who imagined kissing or hugging anymore. Did I kiss her and when?I left the room and stood by the lobby, leaning on the pillar upstairs as I looked down at our maid who was cleaning the house. I watched her for a long time, I could see her face now that she was not looking down at her feet or speaking with anyone.She does look down when she talks to me or my father, she was a shy girl which made her lovely. I shook my head
Yvonne POV.I got home in anger and threw down everything on my desk. I squatted down in my room for 8n 5 years as I remember what Russeli did. I will never forgive him, even if he is a popular person, I will never forgive him.I brought my knees up and buried my face sobbing, he had played me like 8 was one of his toys like I was a plaything, I look so pathetic now, I was excited when he kissed, I was so excited when he hugged me, only for him to smash it down to me that he felt nothing.Why can't he just tell a white lie? Why does he have to be honest, why then did he ask to meet me, why did he ask me that question. "Oh Yvonne, you look so silly out there!" He was the first person I felt happy to be with, and now he is the first person that hurt me too. No, I will never forgive him. "Never!"
Russell POVTwo days later, my father came back home and was preparing some documents and clothes for his trip to Japan, meanwhile, he had sent his secretary to book him a quick flight for the journey.I walked into the room after knocking on the door. "Dad, is it true?" I asked with a worried expression, my dad who was arranging his bag stopped and looked at me."You heard?" He asked and I nodded, sitting down on the sofa in his room with my head down."How can it go so wrong?" The music which I had just sung a few months ago was going into criticisms and it was not so helpful for the production company."That's what I am going to confirm and probably set right on this trip." My father told me as he sat next to me, he gently
Malinda POVA week later I was no longer shy around my bosses son whose name was Russeli, we became friends, I know it doesn't make sense being friends with the son of the man you work for, I know I was risking my job and everything, but why not live in a lie for a while.He had always practised his music with me and lend a helping hand on some of the house chores, I tried to stop him but he insisted, he had said he loved me, but for how long will it last, everything will be over when his father return, I have also started falling in love with him and it also scares me.He was friendly to me and told me almost everything about his music, he didn't shout at me either, he was caring and loving, this was an affection I have only experienced in a long time, this must be the reason I yearn for more.
Malinda Kristen POVAfter hearing that he was popular, I knew we had to go inside before others saw him, he might have fans and if they saw him at an orphanage or something, the news was so easy to spread. "Where are the others," I asked, looking for an excuse to go inside."They are inside having their lunch." Annabel, who was speaking to Russeli about celebrity stuff, told me."Let's go see them," I told her and Annabel led the way, the orphanage was filled with young, small, short and tall children, I looked at Russeli who haven't been to an orphanage before, he couldn't stop looking at the children, maybe he was thinking how pitiful it was to live here or lose their parents.He looked at me, so I don't know why, but I could see the apology in his eyes. He was apologi
Russell POVA month later, my father came back from his business trip. He had succeeded in clearing the misunderstanding that arose in the entertainment industry in Japan. He had also convinced a few directors that my next song would be the best.I have a way of starting up a mess and have my father clear it for me. I shouldn't always be the busy one. Well, celebrities just happen to always stir things up to become more popular, and I was on many headlines recently.I walked over to the garden where my dad stood, staring at the lovely bloom of flowers. It was spring and everything seemed to shine, and it was a really beautiful sight to see.There was a light breeze running through our faces, I looked at my father and he seems so relaxed and in his world here, he was old,
"And who is that?" My father asked me with his deep voice.I was not going to lie, telling lies to me was for kids, I was a grown adult now and can love who I want to love, I should have told him it was Yvonne, but what use is it being with someone you don't see as a woman."Malinda Kirsten," I said with a smile, waiting for a warm smile from my father and a grateful applause, but his gaze darkened and became cranky."Which Malinda are you talking about?" He asked with his brows raised and his lips paused in a straight line."The one living in this house with us." I open up my hand in a demonstration with a broad smile on my lips."My maid?" My father sounded annoyed, but I was also not pleased with him referring to her as I
Malinda POVI was called early the next morning by Mr Gilbert Ryan, I walked into his office wondering why I was called by him. Normally he tells me what to bring to him, but this time he asked to see me.I saw his domineering figure sitting on the head chair in his office, as he looked up at me, his cold gaze sent a shiver to my spine and I could already tell that this was not going to be good."Have a seat." He pointed at the chair across the one he was sitting and I sat down. "Don't sit comfortably, you are just my maid." His cold voice rang in my ear and I sat up without hesitation."Yes sir." My knees together and my hands clasped on my lap as I looked down, unable to bear the look in his eyes."A maid is what you are, h
Four years laterIn between four years, Mr Gilbert who had gained success and a lot of enemies along the way became more greedy and terminated the joint contract he had with Mr Malcolm.Mr Gilbert began dropping directors who had been working with him for years now because he was scared his company would be taken away since he didn't know who his enemies were and had no friends.Most other directors saw his aim and greed and withdrew their shares and not less than a month his company started falling apart and staff seeing that the company was going to run into bankruptcy soon had to resign.Meanwhile, Mr Malcolm starts up his own music company after the betrayal of Mr Gilbert and he attracts investors and his company grew while Mr Gilbert's dropped, all the investors rej
Natasha pov"You see, If I loved you, I wouldn't have done this round-up kiss with them, '' he chuckled and then held another one's thigh letting his hands slide through her pant line and I heard the lady loud moan and I couldn't bear to watch anymore.I got up in tears and took the glass of beer he was drinking and I wasted it on his face, tossing the glass away. "If this is the method you want to use in sending me away, then know that you took it so far and you took it all the wrong way."I closed my eyes and tears filled my eyes. "I don't know your reason for doing all these, but, if you have decided to live your life this way then you can go on."I wipe off my tears and then look into his eyes that were staring at mine. "I truly love you and I can't let you live your
RusselliI drove to Dominic's apartment and let myself in, I was in tears as I walked over to Dominic who was about to take a huge bite on a hamburger."I broke up with her." These were the first words I said and I watched Dominic put down the hamburger and look at me like I had said the most ridiculous thing ever."You broke up with whom?" Dominic shook his head as if what he just asked was useless. "You broke up with Natasha... I mean to say, Malinda!" His pupils enlarged and his brows snapped. "Why would you do that?" He wipes off his hands and gets up from the chair."That's because I am a coward," I closed my eyes and felt something warm roll down my cheek. "I can't protect her," I placed my hands on my hair and slowly sat down on the floor like a lost soul. "I can'
RusselliI took Malinda to the beach, it was a place I had to happen to discover and it was peaceful and quiet, only the sound of the wave and water could be heard, I sat down with her as we watched the wave, her head was on my shoulders and we were quiet like we had a lot of things to think inside our head before letting them out.She was wearing a yellow beach dress, maybe because I told her I would be taking her here. She had come up with this outfit that makes it hard for me to look away from her. Her hair was blown backwards by the light breeze and it made her face more adorable to look at. She wore light makeup and her lips were picky and plump and I felt the urge to kiss her lips, but this was not why I brought her here."I am really happy to be here with you Russeli." A broad smile spread through her face, s
The stage room was set in an Oran company, fans were crowded in the hall and the world was waiting for this show that had long been announced, this music show that would change many lives and dreams, a piece of music that would be sung by the most popular female musician in the world.I looked over at Russeli who was standing by my side with a black jacket and a black trouser, his hair was curled up bringing out the beautiful shape of his face and his straight nose, his eyes glitter with glint and like the stars the shines in the sky as he stares back at me.I was wearing a golden dress that stopped at my feet, a straight line running down from my thigh exposing part of my legs and the golden heels I wore, the top side of the dress was glittering and exposing part of my upper boobs. My hair was left to fall perfectly behind my back and the bottom was trimmed ne
"Should I fight back?" I asked in a whisper holding back the tears that filled my eyes. "Why would I when that person is your father?" I was also considering him, no matter what Gilbert had done he was still the father of the man I love."Can't you just fight my father and not look at me? I am okay with it, Malinda." He looked tormented and I know that I could fall apart if I continue this conversation."I can't, so please let me do this," I said seriously and turned to Sinead who was behind me. "Let's go, Sinead before I break down here." I turned around without another glance at Russell and walked off with tears in my eyes, this was something I should do and leave karma to do the rest.I sat down by my window staring at the birds that were flying cheerfully in the sky and it makes me wonder if they also go through
NatashaHe looked at me sharply as his eyes darkened and his jaw clenched. "My company..." He said in a domineering voice. "You will increase its status and you will make me number one. Why? Because love makes people weak."He leans back to his chair. "If you want to fight back you should come when you are fully prepared." All I could feel was sorrow and hate, this man would never change, what was I expecting when I made my way to this place.Tears filled my eyes but I refused to let him see me cry, I was falling apart. "You have sold your soul to the devil Gilbert Ryan, but one day you shall understand what you have done when there is no one by your side, you shall wake up and find that everyone has turned their back on you and you would be left alone to reap all you have sowed."
I got into my father's study room and there he was seated like a real gentleman, just like an honourable man, but with a dark heart, so dark that no light could outshine it."Is this how far you would go?" I asked immediately if he looked up at me. "Is this how far you would go in your ambition to acquire wealth? Going as far as killing your son just to get what you want.""What are you talking about?" He closed the document in his front and leaned back to his chair."You know what I am fucking talking about!" I barked as I looked at the emotionless man."Russeli, I know you are angry at me, but you need to calm down and let me understand what you are saying?" I chuckled as tears rolled down my eyes.How can someone be this c
Russelli.I received a call from an unregistered number, I wanted not to pick up but out of curiosity I did and it was Gavin, the man who had held Natasha's waist, the man who she had told me was the reason she was who she was today.That daring man!He asked me to meet him and I reluctantly went. We sat down at a wine bar and had a glaring competition before I finally spoke up seeing that he wasn't saying anything."Why did you call me out?" I lean back to my chair and try to act as nonchalant as I do, he seems calm with nothing to give away, so this was the American man that helped my Malinda Kristen."What do you think of me?" His questions surprised me since it was only the ladies I expected to hear these words from. "I m
