We got back to the house after we got a bottle of wine from the city mall, as I expected when I broke the news to my mum, she was so sad, she kept murmuring about life being so unfair to her and how God was partial to her. I told her not to worry about it, that I have already started hunting for a job and that in no time I will get a new job.
"You don't deserve to suffer like this, my child," My mom said, "God is so unfair to me,"
I just scoffed and walked past my mother just as Sky went to hug her, I didn't want to hug her, I didn't believe in any of those things she said, I don't believe anyone has the power to detect what happens in your life from an unknown and unseen realm. I feel like everyone is the architect of their lives. I also don't believe life is unfair, it's unbalanced, not unfair.
All you need to do is do your quota, and work extra hard if you want to have a balanced life with the elites. That is the resolution, I have always lived my life by that rule, I was determined to be among the top elites, and I have been working towards that goal for a long time.
In our earlier days, my mum and I used to argue a lot, especially when I told her my plans of not getting married but just having a child and raising the child by myself. She had scolded me and we had fought among ourselves,
Out of anger and frustration, I lashed out and reminded her about my father's treatment of her, I told her I hated men because of my father, my father treated my mother as a tablecloth and I hated to see it, my mum was always very humble to my father and it annoyed the hell out of me.
So I grew up to be a very independent lady, I didn't want any man in my life, the few kisses I had before Damien were just me teasing the flesh, and of course, just having fun with the ridiculous dares that Sky kept daring me, but emotionally, I had never had a tiny bit feeling for any man, maybe I had a little bit crush on Damien yesterday but it was nothing serious.
"Drink water, honey," I said handing my mother a glass of water, "I said you shouldn't worry and I mean it, I will get another job before you know it. Can you please trust me?"
"I trust you, Kris, I trust you, I just wished I was wiser and stronger, so I could protect you, it breaks my heart to see you suffer like this, I am your mother."
Right!
"I know, honey," I said, finally going to hug her, "Thank you Sky," I said hugging my mother close to me, "Don't worry about us, I will take care of you, myself…"
'And my baby.'
"Mother, Kristen is a hardworking hoe, before this time next week, she will have a job, I can bet cash on it." Sky said,
"You want to bet money, so you are rich now?"
"I work and get paid, unlike you who got sacked on your first day?" Sky said, then shrugged meanly at me, I looked at her like she was crazy, she truly was crazy.
"You are crazy Sky, at least it's only a job I lost, better than you who have lost all your relationships," I retorted back flipping my hair,
"Bitch!" Sky said, throwing a pillow at me, I dodged and picked up the pillow to throw back at her but mother held my hands.
"You both stop it," Mother chided, "How can you both still behave like children at this age, you are adults, working-class adults,"
"I'm sorry mother, we were trying to cheer you up."
"It worked, I trust you, okay? " She said as she stretched her hands and gently caressed my brows. "My beautiful daughter. Just make sure you give me a grandchild to dote on."
"Already working on that mother," I mumbled,
"Okay, then. I will let you girls be, seeing as you both didn't come home last night, you must have a lot of things to catch up on," Mother inferred, looking between us, we just laughed off her attempt to tease us.
"Thank you mother, " Sky said, as I stood up to get glasses for the drink that Sky and I git from the mall.
"Okay, I will be in my room if you need me." Mother said and left.
After my mother left Sky and I retired to my room and got huddled up in the makeshift nest we prepared and told her all about the events of last night. By the time I was done filling her in, We were a drunken laughing mess. We both couldn't handle the spiciness of the night.
"You are a certified bitch, Kristen, damn…"Sky drawled,
"He was so good, Sky. So tempting,"
"I can imagine," Sky mumbled and we both sighed and chuckled drunkenly, then just laid back and enjoyed the fluffy materials beneath us.

One week has passed since Damien and my job revocation, and I still haven't gotten a job, unfortunately, and I… it was getting frustrating, especially with daily bills payment, I didn't want to touch my savings, because that took me a lot to build up.
And my savings had their purposes, it was not for random bills I could take care of, but I didn't stop, I kept sending my letters of application to almost all the opportunities I came across.
Today, I woke up feeling too lazy to stand up and do anything, I just lay in bed, my mind calculating what our next course of action would be if we didn't land a job soon. A call on my phone interrupted my thoughts as I lazily rolled to pick it up, it was Sky, of course.
||"What?" I asked immediately I picked up,
||"Rude, I have good and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Sky said,
||"Uhm, Good news first,"
||"Wise choice, we have a job vacancy in our company, it's a tech unit…"
||"I am up for it," I blurted out, a tech job was my speciality and it was perfect for me."
||"I thought as much, I already told my supervisor, and he asked me to inform you to report to the office tomorrow with your C.V," Sky explained,
||"Okay. I will prepare and bring it."
||"I will pick you up by morning and now the bad news is that my boss is going on hiatus for a while,"
||"Your boss?"
||"Yes, the CEO is going to be on hiatus for a short while, so his son will be acting on his behalf, I hear he is rich and very powerful, apparently very rude and arrogant too. They said he is so rich and has businesses that he owns. He is just doing his father a favour, "
||"Oh," I muttered not knowing what to say, since I didn't know either the boss or the son.
||"The reason I am telling you this is that throughout the stay of the young master in the company, if you get employed, you are going to be working directly with him." Sky explained,
||"Right! But it's no problem, as long as I get employed, and the pay is good, I don't mind, even if he is a douche, I will handle him." I said confidently.
||"Okay, that is good then, I will pick you up in the morning."
Sky said and hung up, I was happy that I sprung up from the bed to prepare my C.V and outfit for the next day.
||" Kristen Stewart"||"Wake up, you are going to be late for your interview, Kristen…""Just let me sleep five minutes more, honey please?" I begged my mother, I felt so tired, I just wanted to sleep, it's not that late, I think."That is what you said thirty minutes ago if you must know, it's already eight-thirty, and Sky has been ringing your phone, she also called the house phone, ..""Did you say eight-thirty?"Shit! How is it eight-thirty already, I slept barely two hours ago."Yes, Kris, it's eight-thirty-two now,"I grunted as I woke up and quickly left the bed and dashed to the bathroom when I heard loud footsteps coming towards the door, that was Sky, I couldn't be mistaken, "Mother, please keep her occupied for me, I will be fast.""I told you not to stay up late," Mother scolded,She was right, she did say I shouldn't stay up late and retire to bed early, but I had to clean out my dresser and put office outfits out. I was supposed to do that after I returned from the first
||"Kristen Stewart"||Sky led me through the company showing me all the important sectors of the company and also introducing me to people.We made a stop at the company's cafeteria to grab breakfast, we got hamburgers and hit coffee, which we settled and are at the cafe, while Sky briefed me on some background rules in the company that weren't official but were rules, like the first company that arrives the company never goes inside alone, but will always wait for another colleague to show up before they entered the building together."That sounds creepy," I complained,"I know, but it's been like that since I started working here, so it's a basic office hack in the company right now." Sky said,"Have you ever done it, wait for someone to come before you go inside the building?""I have never been to the company that early," Sky shrugged and we both chuckled.Then we continued eating in silence until Sky's phone rang and she picked up and listened to th3 voice on the other end."Okay
||" Kristen Stewart "||"Are you the new assistant that is supposed to be working with me?" Damien asked,"Yes…Yes Sir," I stuttered,He roamed his eyes through his body, eyeing me up and down. "Is that my en-suite?""Yes," He nodded and started towards me, my heart was pounding,Did he not recognise me, that will be good because I didn't want anything that will make my work atmosphere awkward.But why was he walking toward me?"Can you excuse me, I want to go inside…" He muttered,"Oh, sorry," I retorted and step confusingly back into the room, he walked past me into the room, and immediately he stepped inside, he started unbuttoning his suit fly, and I quickly turned away from him,"You can close the door on your way out." He muttered as he settled himself on the bed.What the fuck?I became alarmed, did he just come into the office on the first day and went to bed, no one told me about any rest, and besides rest wasn't scheduled in the morning."I stepped out of the room and went b
||" Kristen Stewart "||"My name is Kristen Stewart and…""That is fine, Kristen, no need to go further, I already know other information about you, and I hope you don't mind me calling you Kristen?" Damien uttered,"Not at all Sir…sorry, Mr Troy." I stuttered,"Just call me Damien…but I'm sure you already know what my name is. Don't you?" He said,I stare blankly at him, "Sir?" I mumbled,"I mean when you were employed, they must have briefed you, right?""Yes, Sir, they did." I nodded in realisation."That is okay, you don't seem very bright anyways. You can leave now." Damien muttered then dived his attention back to the files he was looking through.I nodded and left.I wasn't fit for this job.Returning to my office desk, I called Sky over, and just when she stepped through the door, "I will murder him, sincerely…I'm fighting to urge to murder him at this point, sincerely," I said, I want to pace about restlessly,Damien's attitude was making heat rise in my brain."Calm down Kri
||" Kristen Stewart "||The rest of the day went better than the start of work today. Damien had left the office with the guest he was with, which also means that he didn't get a chance to eat the lunch I had bought for him.I didn't know if I should be sad or angry about it, the only thing I felt right now was relief that he wasn't in the office right now, so I had nobody taunting me.I shut his office windows and door since office hours were almost over and some people had already started heading home. I made a final report of my day and placed it in my personal folder, a skill I picked from my last job.After that, I was ready to head home but Sky had an extra duty, so I was waiting for her to finish up since we were going to be heading home together anyways.While waiting for Sky, I decided to take a thorough glance through Damien's schedule. He didn't have much to do the next day, apart from lunch with the company workers and the official handing over of files from the different
||" Kristen Stewart "||Sky parked her car at our favourite boutique after I filled her in on what Vitali had told me while we were driving home, she decided that we should just get a new dress altogether.Even though I had my fears and was a little laid back on the idea, I agreed with her and thus we found ourselves here."I swear if I lose this job, I'm going to throw a fit," I huffed as we scurried around the car to pick up what we needed and kept what we didn't need for the shopping safely before heading into the shop."Why?""Are you serious right now, Sky? Obviously this dress I'm about to purchase is going to take a toll on my savings. What if I don't get to keep the job and at least earn a month's salary?" I muttered,My fear was apparent,Sky chuckled and nodded, "Well, let's just hope you get to keep the job,""Bitch!" I cussed,"I heard you," Sky chuckled. We both got off the car and headed inside the boutique, we smiled at the now familiar faces of the people that worked a
||" Kristen Stewart "||The day flew by quickly and was surprisingly nice and uneventful, now I was heading back home to prepare for the dinner event.Sky had gone home earlier after the lunch Damien had with the company staffs, she had an emergency, I would call her later to find out.For now, I was trying to settle my nerves about how the dinner event was going to turn out.Lunch with Damien and the staff was so good, Damien chatted freely and somewhat seemed very carefree with the staff, it was quite different from how he was with me.Although I didn't care much about his opinion, it still worried me."How long will you take Miss Kristen?" The driver that Damien had assigned to me earlier spoke up and I narrowed my eyes curiously at him, "Boss said I should wait for you to finish you so I could drive you to dinner.""Oh," I sighed, "It will take a while, you can just drop your contacts, I will call you when I'm done.""My apologies but I can not do that, I would wait for you, just
||" Damien Troy "||I gazed at Kristen as she stepped into V.I.P's room. I sat with my friends and a few business associates. She was dressed so alluring, her curly hair was swept to one side, exposing the threader eating she wore, her silver necklace glistening under the light.She looked perfect,The yellow dress she wore did no justice to her body shape, the dress fitted perfectly on her curves, I trailed my eyes on her thighs as I remembered a fond memory,I smirked,"Come sit with me, Kristen," I uttered,But she did not attempt to move from the spot she stood as if she had been glued to that spot.I didn't miss the hungry look everyone was giving her, it twinked something in me, my dominance reared its head but I tried to keep it down.I didn't want to ruin my plan for the night.I smiled at the perfect picture of the plans I had for the night playing in my head. Tonight will be fun, but the morning will be more fun.I was going to give her a taste of her medicine."I think your
||" Kristen Stewart "||A Week Later•"Where did you go? I didn't see you throughout the morning, you weren't at the staff meeting either and you weren't picking up your calls?" I berated Sky who just strode into my office,"Chill out girl or woman." She giggled and I frowned even more, "Okay, my apologies. I was at the station, I was called there to give further statements on Lucia, and also Jason wanted to see me,""Oh,""Yeah. He asked me to set up a meeting with you…"No, thanks." I blurted out,"He wants to apologize for real this time, I definitely wouldn't force you to meet him of course but if you wanted to meet him," Sky sighed, "I wouldn't let you meet up with him alone.""I know that," I clarified, "I know all that but I'm not joking either when I said I don't want to meet him. He had asked Damien to fix us a meeting too and I still turned it down. I have already forgiven him, let's just keep it at that.There is no reason for us to meet and talk.""Okay, I get it. Your wis
||" Damien Troy "||"Kristen…?" Jason called, the look on his face careening,"No need to call her Jason, you too are part of this problem," I muttered, "You lied against her, she is your friend but you lied against her.""So what?" He snapped, "What if I lied? You say this is my fault but I put it to you that the fault is you! You fucking dumb Damien. I've waited years for that girl but just when I was ready, you showed up from nowhere and took over what rightfully belongs to me, I could ruin you where you stand Damien, but I'm not going to, you don't deserve to get ruined by my hands,"I scoffed, "Are you done throwing your tantrums?""What the fu…?""Jason, very bold of you to think that you are so smart," I smirked, then walked over to the cabinet that sits beside the TV stand and pulled out a folder. The folder contains all the information that The Four gathered about Jason's life over the years, especially his life in Dubai, his life before he left for Dubai, and even his intent
||" Kristen Stewart "||I glimmered with satisfaction the moment the doctor was ushered into the room by Sky.Everything would be exposed so how could I not be excited? I was worried for Damien but I knew he would be okay. It was hard drugs but I also noticed that he had been perspiring lightly, probably his body was already recovering from the drugs and was causing it to secrete sweat.It would cause him to be hydrated when he woke up though but it was a good thing.The doctor moved near and took his fingers and held them up, she then took a needle and pricked it just close to his nails, she took the bliss and put it on the container before placing it into what looked like a microscope of some sort.But I knew it wasn't a microscope though, probably a testing kit. She really came prepared.Anyway, I watched her meddle with the kit for about ten minutes before her eyes lit up, and she quickly looked up and rushed over to Mr. Troy."Sir there is content of high drugs in his system and
||" Sky Davis "||Of course, Damien had been drugged, that had to be the only explanation for his state right now. Even if he was a heavy sleeper, after the almost heated argument that has taken place in the living room, he would have at least stirred awake."You drugged him?" Kristen repeated the question,Lucia looked panicked, hell even Jason had the same panicked expression on his face, did he know about this too?"I can't help but wonder what his father whom you thankfully called would think when he knows you drugged his son," Kristen let out a pained chuckle,"Shut up! You don't know what you are talking about," Lucia drawled,"Oh please, it's obvious you drugged him. Damien would never have had sex with you when he knew I was just doors away," I spoke up,"You have been here all along?" Jason asked and I shrugged."How long has he been out? Don't you think we should call a doctor?" Kristen implored, "He was already stressed and you drugged him just to get him to have sex with y
||" Kristen Stewart "||I got lost in my thoughts after reading Sky's text message, she texted to inform me about Damien's return to the house, who according to Sky was accompanied by Lucia, along with some text I found rather offensive and discriminating.Those words involve my pregnancy and that pissed me the fuck up.Like you can say shits you want about me, but the nerves and the boldness to involve my pregnancy.Like what the actual fuck?!!I really hated that. I hated so many things, but accusing me wrongly was on top of that list and it turns out that was the crime they had decided to use against me. Well, bad idea, because I won't let it slide and I have a habit of exposing people that lie against me.From what I heard, one of those people happens to be this slimy bastard who I already regret the fact that I once had a crush on, a stupid crush and I definitely regret it.I will expose the truth, all of it, and not just for Damien who Sky says that he still trusts me but becaus
||" Damien Troy "||"I don't believe those photoshopped pictures you are showing to me, if this is the reason why Jason left, just to prove such an unnecessary point that I'll like you to tell him that he failed." I retorted even though deep down I was literally panicking.I had left Kristen in the house, and I told her to wait for me, I know I have stayed out later than I intended, but Kristen isn't the time to go rock her body with Jason just because I hadn't returned home.But what is the possibility that Kristen is still at home at this moment?"Son, if you are that trusting of her then maybe you should call her," Father suggested, it was a nice idea but the outcome isn't plausible because I have been ignoring her calls too and Kristen might just get angry and refuse to pick my calls either.But I still took out my phone and called her anyway, it would be good if she doesn't pick up and even better if she picks, I thought as I dialed her number but unfortunately, the outcome was n
||" Kristen Stewart "||"He is still not back, Sky," I said, mortified as I returned back to the living room for the umpteenth time."You need to calm down, Kristen. Panicking like this isn't good for your condition, same with you pacing around like this." Sky berated, "For all we know, maybe he is just busy with the father. Didn't you say that he went to see his father? Maybe his father has sent him on errands. Come and sit down, you called for me to come to keep you company but you aren't paying attention to me.""Sorry, I'm so sorry,' I mused, "I just feel so unsettled, I don't know why too. But my gut feelings are telling me something is wrong.""And maybe your gut feelings are right, but they could also be wrong." Sky said, "And truthfully, even if something was wrong, there is nothing you would be able to do about it right now. Just calm down okay? I am here, everything will be alright."I nodded, then slumped on the couch, even though my instincts were going haywire, I tried ha
||" Damien Troy "||I tried to conceal the curious and excited look on my face as I drove back to the house with Kristen. It didn't help that she was holding onto my hands, the action was both domesticated and surprising. It was the first time she has done acts like that."Sorry, I had to call you over so urgently," I uttered as we drove."Shh," Kristen whispered while doing her hand gesture of me shutting up, "I am enjoying the silence. We will talk when we are home and just for the record, I am not angry at all. I'm glad you called me."I nodded because I understood the feeling of what she was saying, I felt the same emotions too, I felt good that she was here all through this.I felt justified.We drove quietly, and something kind of made me realize that we were definitely going to skip work today. I don't know what Kristen wanted to talk to me about but it sounded serious and by the way, her hand was sweaty while she held my hands showed that she was nervous too.What did she want
||" Kristen Stewart "||"You should come inside," Damien said and I nodded and stepped inside the house. I tried not to succumb to the feelings of panic in my heart, whatever the problem is, I will find out when I step inside the house, and hopefully, we will find a way around it.I just hoped it was another case of a woman having a miscarriage because of Damien, I wouldn't know how to handle a situation like that."Sit down, let me get you something to drink," Damien said and walked towards the direction of his kitchen. I noticed someone else was sitting down on the couch, a woman, she seemed familiar, so apparently, this is really about a woman.I didn't know how to feel about that.But I was already here, so I have to face whatever it is either way."Hi," I said as I walked past the lady to take a seat, I still haven't looked at her yet,"Hi," She said, I knew that voice. Doraemon? Or Lucia rather, I thought as I turned to look at her, and true to my thoughts it was really her. Wha
