The environment was calm and serene it didn't seem like a party was being held here however one thing that assured me we were at the right place was the multitude of cars lined up in front and none of them gave cheap.

I even spotted a white sports car parked in a corner and Ruth gave me a grin as if to say she was right. Nervousness consumed me but I alighted from the car regardless walking towards the entrance with the invites tightly clutched in my hands.

Two hefty men were situated by the door, wearing dark shades and not a hint of smile on their face. This further increased my anxiety but Ruth's presence behind me made it slightly better.

Coming to a stop several steps ahead I presented the invitation, the man snatched it from my hands running his eyes through for a moment before returning it to me, stepping aside. I almost breathed a sigh of relief but held myself together.

Ruth linked her arm in mine and together we walked through the dark corridors.

    In a little while my appearance had changed from the wealthy heiress image I portrayed earlier to a modest house wipe. Waiting in the bathroom was a set of facial wipes, I couldn't help but wonder if they had predicted I would be showing up like this which is why they had prepared it. The pack was new and untouched which fueled my suspicions, I made a mental note to take this up with Lydia when I run into her later. I didn't expect to find Opal waiting outside the door, she didn't seem too happy about it either. Her small lips were presses into a thin line as she roamed her eyes through me, a single word escaped her lips. "Better."With her leading the way, we trailed obediently behind. My patience was wearing thin but I told myself to endure, wanting to get to the root of this. We walked into the room and every body halted their movements, casting their glance upon me. I noticed that they were all staring at me, no one even acknowledged Ruth who was behind me. Opal unfazed, strol

    I sensed there was a hidden danger lurking beneath her words, a dangerous secret waiting to be revealed. Yet, I was powerless to do anything but sit motionless, waiting for the impending drama to unfold. The break was over, and we were forced to resume contorting our bodies into painful positions. While the others seemed to handle it effortlessly, I was the only one struggling, and Skye couldn't help but smile to herself.This time, I fought with every ounce of my being to suppress a second fart. I had barely recovered from the embarrassment of the previous incident, and another one would surely be the death of me."Avery, you don't look so good," Skye's voice cut through my thoughts. I turned to her, my legs trembling and sweat dripping down my forehead. "I'm doing great, actually. Anyone could see that I was lying, but she didn't press further and simply went back to what she was doing.How much longer must I endure this torture? If I'm forced to remain in this position for a few mo

    “Thank you for your concern, but I regret to inform you that I am currently not in need of any assistance. However, should the need arise in the future, you will undoubtedly be the first person I seek help from.” These words escape my lips, though deep down I have no intention of ever confiding in her or any of these women. If only I could escape this place with my sanity intact, they would never lay eyes on me again."Are you absolutely sure everything is alright?" she persists, pushing forward. "Don't be shy, you can confide in us about anything. Being newly married surely brings its own set of challenges."“Ah, yes. I just tied the knot a few months ago. What problems could possibly plague my marriage? I assure you, everything is perfectly fine. My husband loves me, and I love him.”I can see the bewilderment etched on their faces as I utter those words, even sounding foreign to my own ears. Everyone in this room likely knows I'm lying, which is why they're all staring at me like I

    In a daring display, she assumed the provocative doggy style position, imparting wisdom on the art of arching one's back. I gazed in astonishment, while the others appeared too engrossed to question the peculiar scene.I pondered to myself, this must be their usual routine, as I observed her contort her back in ways I never deemed possible. Unconsciously, I absorbed her subtle cues, hoping to retain them for future use.After minutes of relentless performance, she collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat. The crowd erupted in applause, and I found myself joining in, acknowledging my newfound knowledge from her teachings."With this style, a man would forget he even has a wife at home," Bianca boasted proudly.In an instant, all my previous enthusiasm vanished, as the realization struck me once again that they were practicing the art of seducing and stealing husbands.Bianca seemed to sense the shift in my demeanor and questioned, "Is there a problem? Is there something you wish to

    The resounding echo of Bianca's palm meeting my cheek reverberated through the room, a jolt that snapped me back to reality. In that moment, I knew I couldn't let her assault go unanswered. I couldn't allow myself to be seen as a fool, losing the respect of everyone present. I needed to do something, anything, to change the narrative. With a surge of determination, I mustered the courage to strike back, but to my astonishment, she deftly evaded my retaliation, as if she had anticipated my every move."How dare you think you can strike me and simply walk away unscathed?" Her voice dripped with disdain, a warning laced with a challenge. "Consider your options carefully. Do you honestly believe the odds are in your favor right now?"As I surveyed the room, I could feel the weight of their disgusted gazes, not a single soul standing by my side. Even Ruth, usually a steadfast ally, averted her eyes, pretending to be engrossed elsewhere. It was crystal clear that I was alone in this battle.

    No matter how much she tried to disguise it, I could sense the ulterior motive behind my presence here. These women were not interested in helping me seize an opportunity; they were plotting my downfall. It was evident in the way their faces bore the mark of betrayal. Only a fool would place their trust in them."Why don't you drop the cryptic act and reveal your true intentions?" I challenged, growing weary of her games.She chuckled, her eyes scanning me with amusement. "Impatient, aren't we?" she taunted."If you were in my shoes, confined to a chair in a room full of strangers, you'd be just as restless," I retorted."Ah, now you understand," she said, returning to her previous point. "Our sisters spare no effort in aiding each other. We support one another financially, going to great lengths to help when one of us faces a problem. We share everything, passing along the good things accordingly."Turning her attention back to me, she continued, "As for you, we've done our research.

    "What exactly is the meaning of this?" I questioned seething with anger but No body gave any response, "I'm afraid you have taken it too far."Bianca scoffed and then went on to fold her arms, "you're new around here so you must not be aware. In order to sail smoothly you must be long to a clique, refuse and face the consequences."What in the madness is going on here? This felt like a scene straight from a movie, too insane to be real."What's it going to be little girl, are you willing to join us?" She questioned.Even if there was a gun to my forehead I'm afraid my answer would still remain the same. Nothing good could come out of joining this psychopath clique of theirs. I'm better off facing the consequences, whatever that may be. "In your dreams," I smirked. "Do your worst but I will never join you sick women, you should all seek help."There was no need sugarcoating it, I was going down already might as well speak my mind. Bianca looked stunned for a moment but then a smile so

    "Didn't we meet at the party the other day?" Was the first thing I blurted out before choosing to accept his help. I expected him to deny it as it was just a wild guess but much to my surprise I watched him nod his head as if to say yes."What a sharp memory you have there," he praised, "I can't belive you recognized me instantly. Although I could tell it was you from behind."His palm was still there waiting for me to grab. I felt bad for keeping him waiting so I hesitantly gave him my hand, in no time I was off the ground. "I won't ask." He said with a smile leading me down to his car, I trailed behind him obediently pondering if it was safe enough to go in his car.I mean I don't even know his name, I was drunk as hell the other night so I never got a chance to ask. But it doesn't seem like I'm left with much of a choice right now, actually he's my last option I don't get to choose.He pulled the car door open and I got in without a second thought, waiting for him to assume positi

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

But Kylie is holding my arm preventing me from a taking a step forward, “don’t do this.” She pleads in a desperate tone, seeming anxious.I turn to Colton, “can she come along?” No doubt with her presence I would feel more safe but before Colton can utter a word Kylie refuses.“I’m not going anywhere near him,” she spat venomously, “even now my skin is crawling in disgust, let’s go Avery. It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say

    For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break. I spotted two couples walking down the sideways hand in hand, jealousy clouded my vision as I struggle to look awayWhy am I so thirsty for his love?

    I can feel the pain in his voice, his messy appearance further adds to my strain. I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way? If truly he doesn’t love me why is he running behind me looking like a mess.Though I don’t dare to turn back I feel his eyes on my back, I know he is chasing after me. A part of me wants to stop and confront him on what I’ve heard and another part wants to keep running, too ashamed to face him. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my knees causing me to slip and fall, it doesn’t take seconds for Cameron to catch up to me. “Are you okay?” He quest

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec

    “I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s

    Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d

    Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
