Rose sprung up from the chair, scratching her head. She went closer to Michelle.
"Ginny? Like, your sister?" She asked."Yes, she's the one" Michelle replied.Ginny ran to her sister and wrapped her hands around her.Michelle swiftly broke the hug."Hey, you can't be here. You shouldn't even be seen with me" she said."I missed you Michelle. I don't care what mom and dad say, I missed you"Michelle's lips curved into a smile."I missed you too but..." She tried to speak again but her phone rang. She saw it was from the school."Oh no" she muttered before answering the call."You must be Chloe's mother. Report to the school immediately" the person said and disconnected the call."What happened?" Rose asked her. She saw the look on her face and it wasn't good."I think something happened at school. I need to go" she said and was about leaving. Ginny followed her behind."I'm coming with you" she said."You can't follow me. Go home please""Fine, let me just drop you off and use the chance to see my niece or nephew... Anyone" she said.A sigh escaped from Michelle's lips. She nodded in agreement and turned to Rose. Rose already knew what she wanted to say."It's fine. I'll cover for you again. Just go" she said."Thanks. Let's go"Ginny and her sister entered the car. She swiftly drove her to the school. Michelle told Ginny everything on how they've been surviving. Ginny explained, that's how she saw her on the news before it was deleted."I thought you left Francis to be with Trevor. That's why I came to see you""I can't leave Francis because of the kids""Are you two married yet?""Just the same way mom and dad rejected me, his parents did the same to him. We are on our own and we aren't married yet" she said."I'm sorry all of that happened to you Michelle. I'd like to help, if you let me""I don't need your help. We can manage" she said. They finally got to the school. The security guard let them in. They drove into the compound and pulled over. Michelle didn't complain about her sister going with her into the building. She just wanted to find her kids.She barged into the principal's office and saw Chloe and Kelly at the corner of the office. Another young boy was with his parents, sitting opposite the principal."Mom" they ran to hug her."What happened?" She asked."We'll tell you what happened. Your daughter punched my son right on his face!" The woman cried."I'm sorry. It must be a misunderstanding" she said."Mom, Kelly did it. Matt was bullying us so, she stood up for me" Chloe said.Michelle shot her mouth wide open. Kelly stood up for her sister and punched someone right in the face."I'm proud of you Kelly" she said."What nonsense! That little brat hurt my son!" The woman said again."Your son bullied my daughter" Michelle said. The woman scoffed."We have proof. Once we show you, you'll know your kids are guilty. Then, they'll be expelled from the school" the woman said."Fine, let me see the so called proof!" Michelle said. The principal turned her computer and showed Michelle. She saw as Matt walked to Chloe, then Kelly punched him.Michelle furrowed her eyebrows."Did you see? My son is innocent, your daughters are lying" the woman said. Michelle won't believe that. She know that her children can't lie."Play it again" she said.The principal played it again. Michelle saw that the time jumped. A scoff escaped from her lips."Where did the thirty seconds go?" She asked. The woman and her husband exchanged glances with each other."If you want to lie, don't do it in front of my kids. I don't teach them such. My children are completely innocent""But..." She tried to talk but, her husband stopped her."You must compensate them for her child's bleeding" the principal said."It's okay, I got that covered"Ginny appeared from no where.Everyone in the office were confused."Who is she?""Oh, I'm Ginny Wills" she said. The principal gasped loudly and sprung up."Wills? The...the fourth richest family?"Ginny laughed softly and gave a little nod."How are you related to her?" The principal asked, glaring at Michelle."Oh, she's my...""Friend" Michelle swiftly added. She didn't want anyone to know anything about her background.They watched as Ginny scribbled something on the cheque. She handed it to the woman and her husband."That should do" she said. She bent her head and stared at Matt."Don't ever lie against Chloe and Kelly. If you do, I'll haunt you" she growled. Matt moved back, away from Ginny. He looked scared."I'll take my kids home today. But, this shouldn't repeat itself" she said.Kelly and Chloe bid Matt and everyone goodbye as they left. They took their bag and enter Ginny's car."Woah, it's so cool in here" Chloe said."Thanks aunt" Kelly said to Ginny."Do you know who I am?" Ginny asked."I've seen your picture in mom's room. You are her sister""Did you go through my room?" Michelle asked.Kelly fell quiet. Ginny laughed."Since you know I'm your aunt, why don't we go get some ice cream?" She asked. They cheered."I have to go to work" Michelle glared at her sister."No work for you today. We are going to have some fun" she said. They cheered again. Michelle sighed. She could use the opportunity to buy some stuff for her kids. They went to the mall together. They bought ice cream and a lot of nice dress. But, Ginny paid for everything."You want some cotton candy?" Ginny asked the kids. They nodded."Take these to the car, we'll meet you there" Ginny said to Michelle. She took the keys and got to the car. Just then, her phone rang. She thought it was Rose or Trevor but, it was another unknown number.Trevor has sent her tons of text and missed calls but, she refused to reply any of them.She answered the call and placed her phone right on her ear."Hello there, Will you be chanced tonight? I'd like to book you" the voice said.She leaned on the car and saw her kids coming. She hasn't seen them this happy before since she gave birth to them. Only if she had money to spoil them right."Yes, I'm very well available, where should we meet?""Ah, I'll send you the address. Meet me there before midnight""Midnight?" She asked but, the person disconnected the call."That son of a...""Mom! Look!" Chloe showed her the cotton candy."That's enough fun for today. Let's go home now" Michelle said. They entered the car and Ginny drove them home."I'd come in to see Francis but, I need to go home now. I'll meet with you and discuss something important with you""What?" Michelle whispered. Ginny turned her head and saw the kids playing with their cotton candy."Dad wants to me get married to someone I don't know. I'm trying to avoid him but... I haven't met the person before""Just say no""I can't. Dad doesn't want me to say no. He said, once I say no. It's over between him and I"Michelle sighed."Well, that's your mess now. Fix it" she said and open the door."I promise to meet you again" Ginny yelled."Bye!" She waved. She took the plenty bags from the back and took the kids inside..Francis was waiting for the kids. He heaved a breath of relief when he saw them."I went to school to pick them up, they said they already left""Yeah, aunt Ginny took us shopping" Chloe said."Ginny?" Francis asked. He wanted to be sure it's the same Ginny he knows."She sends her greetings to you""Wow, I can't believe she visited you. Did she say anything about your parents? Do they want you back?""No Francis, no! Take the kids inside. I have another job tonight ""Fine. Hold on, what job?" he asked.She smiled at him weirdly. He finally understood."Yes baby! Go out there and make some money. Maybe, we can finally move to a bigger house" he said."I need to get ready. Take care of the kids" she said."Of course" he replied and took Chloe and Kelly to the room. They went to arrange their new clothes in their wardrobe. He even used the opportunity to make up with them after what happened yesterday...As Michelle dried her hair, a text entered her phone from the app.It was the address. She accepted the meeting and a message entered. "Linked with 002"She gasped and froze when she saw that."002?" She asked. She remembered Trevor Stonefield was 003. He was the son of the third richest man in the country.That mean, she's going out with the son of the second richest man in the country. She swiftly went to the internet to check who it was."Frederick Lloyd. Oh my... Fuck!" She groaned and went back to change her outfit.She was meeting at the club, and Frederick was a playboy.Few minutes after dressing slutty, Michelle found her way out of the house. She took a cab and head straight to the address Frederick has sent to her. She grabbed her hair as her feet kept on banging the car. The driver annoyingly stared at her from the front mirror. "Be calm ma'am, you'll compensate me if you ruin my car" "I'm sorry" was her response. She was asking herself what's with her and rich men. Other people might be unlucky finding a rich man to rent them, but her... She got the third and second at the same time. "We're here!" The driver announced. She paid him and stepped out of the car. Her mouth shot wide open as she stood in front of the club. It was the most popular and expensive club in the whole of the country. Her teeth gnashed against each other as she shivered in fear. "Miss Rose?" Someone asked her. She nodded her head. "My boss has been waiting" he said. "Ah, sure" she said and followed him behind. She entered the club and squeezed her face. The sight of
Slowly, Rose opened her eyes. She groaned softly as she touched her head. She was having a slight headache. She tried to remember how she fainted till she heard someone clearing his throat behind. She turned and saw Frederick. Immediately, she shook in fear and fell on the floor. Her lips shivering in fear. "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you" he said. "How do I know?" She asked, seeing the men with guns. "I'm looking for Rose. Do you know where I can find her?" He asked. Rose furrowed her eyebrows. She remembered Trevor coming to look for Michelle, now... Frederick. "She's not coming today. She quit her job" she said. "Of course, she'll quit after that receiving that money" he mumbled under his breath. Rose didn't hear what he said. "Do you have anything for her?""I'll find her. I'll come back tomorrow. It's Monday, right?" He asked. Rose nodded her head. Frederick sprung up from the chair and touched her hair. "Good girl" he said and left with his men right behind him. She heav
The cool tension in the restaurant caused some other customers to walk out. They were scared, thinking something was going to happen, especially with the men that stood with guns. Frederick sat with Michelle alone. Rose was taken to another seat. "I heard you move out and quit from your job. Your friend also quit because of you, Michelle" he said. Michelle rolled her eyes. He already knew her real name. "I also heard you looked for me. Why, if I may ask" She replied. He scoffed. "Of course, I did. You have to pay me back for what you did that night" he said, drawing his face closer to her. Michelle moved back, leaning her back on the chair. "What did I do that night?" She asked. "I may be known as a national playboy but, I have my rules when it comes to ladies. I had my first sex at fifteen but, I've never kissed anyone till that night. I reserved it for my future bride" he said. Michelle shot her mouth wide open. She hurriedly grabbed her glass of water and sipped from it. "W
Michelle drove back home after dropping the kids off at school. Just as she was about to unlock the door, she saw that it was opened. She even noticed another car packed outside the house. Hurriedly, she rushed inside and saw Francis sitting on the dinning table. He was eating some cereal. A deep frown appeared on Michelle's face. "What the heck happened to your phone? Do you know how worried I was?" She asked. He raised his head and smiled at her. "You didn't have to. I'm sure you can do well without me" he replied. She scoffed and moved closer to him. "What if I decide to log out of the app? What if I decide to go back to the old times?""You can't do that. The kids love the new way now, I'm sure you can't break their heart by doing that shitty thing" He shot her a hard glare. All she wanted to know was where he went throughout yesterday. She was worried that even the kids asked of him. She had to lie to them. But, she was sure that he was cheating on him. "Enjoy your food, F
Rose tried to calm Michelle. She didn't want her to regret what she's saying. Even if Francis hurt her and she wants to throw him out of her life, she should consider the kids. She just watched as Michelle kept sobbing softly, tears running down her face. She explained what Francis did to her at the club. Rose was annoyed but, she can't let that annoyance result to bad judgement. "You two aren't married yet. Don't let what he did hurt you. Just be strong so you can take care of the kids" she said. Michelle smirked."I can't believe I'm taking advice from you"Rose laughed and Michelle joined. "My life has been fucked up ever since I entered that dating app. I should leave""You met good people from there... At least""Frederick is not a good person. I think he's trying to find me. I can't let him win" "I hope you take care of Kelly and Chloe. That's my concern" Rose said. Michelle smiled and hugged her tight. "You're like my sister now""Of course, I am" Rose said. They both la
In a fancy five star restaurant, the whole building has been rented by Mr Will. They sat with Ginny, waiting for the groom and his family. She was unsettled as her feet kept on tapping the floor. She was even sweating when it was so cold. "Ginny, don't be nervous" her mother said to her. "I'm not nervous mom. Can I go to the bathroom?" She asked. "Sure" she replied. "No! You can't go now. They are here already" her father jumped in just when she was about to leave. They all sprung up to welcome them. They walked in together. Mr Will doesn't know which family they're from. All he wanted was a family ranking from the first to tenth. The atmosphere changed immediately they stepped in. They looked so wealthy, that the aura was oozing out of them. "Apologies for being late" the man said in a cool soothing voice. "There was a lot of traffic" his wife added. Mrs Will fell in love with her posture. "It's fine. We just got here, please, have your seat" she said. The man behind them h
Michelle took the kids to school the next day. She pulled over in front of the school and some parents started staring at her. They started gossiping and laughing. "Hey, go to class now. See you two later" she said to them. They nodded and left. Just while she was about to enter the car again, she saw a picture outside the notice board. She rushed to it and saw how she stood in their midst, looking like a cleaner. It was the picture of the parents and teachers gathering. She started breathing hard, trying to control her anger. She tightened her fist angrily. "Mrs Michelle, you look so hot in that photo" one of them said and walked away. The others laughed. She frowned and left. She would have destroyed the picture but it would ruin her reputation. She entered into the car and drove off. She went back home and tried to calm herself but, she heard some clattering noise in the kitchen. She thought it was a thief because the door was locked. Slowly, she reached for the flower vase th
Michelle dropped the kids off at school on Wednesday. The compound was quiet. The security walked towards her."There's no school activities today""Why? Shouldn't I have know this?" She asked, angrily. "Apologies ma'am" he said. The kids got into the car and she drove them back home. Rose was waiting for her at home. They entered the house together and she discovered that Francis already left the house again. "You didn't go to work today?" Michelle asked Rose, pouring a glass of juice for her. "Today is 3rd of August. It's the ceremony today, remember?" She asked. "Ah, I almost forgot" she smirked. "I came to spend time with Chloe and Kelly and you. We should go hang out today, what do you think?" Rose asked. Michelle smiled. "I have to meet someone. He's paying me for the service I did to him days ago. After that, I'm logging out of that app""Ouch" Rose said and touched her heart. Michelle laughed. "The girls are upstairs. You should go meet with them""Sure" Rose dropped t
Few weeks back...At the orphanage, before Evan's death. He left home, heading to the orphanage as usual. He always spend his Saturday there, with the children. The driver took him there and left. Evan didn't leave the orphanage home till it was late in the evening. He was by the gate, waiting for his driver when he heard the explosion. He rushed in and was lucky that no one was close to the kitchen. He helped everyone out. That was when Ben sneaked out of the orphanage home, together with the kids. He was hurt and his clothes were already burnt. He rushed to his car, coughing hard. He took off his jacket and his half burnt shirt.Evan went in, still looking for some kids. He checked the whole rooms, covering his mouth, careful not to inhale any smoke. He was running out of breath and he didn't find any more kids, so he rushed to the emergency door. He was trying to open it because it could only be open from the inside. The door finally open.Immediately, he stepped out, someone kick
It was noon already. Guests from different families, different backgrounds, different countries came to the manor. The hall was big enough to contain a hundred guests and that was the limit. Mr Croydon said he didn't want anything more than that. He wasn't interested in flaunting his money by throwing huge parties.Christopher entered his father's room to bring him out for his birthday. He saw his father getting ready in front of the mirror. He didn't wear a suit. He was shocked to see his father wearing a shirt with a designer knee length short. He added a chain and glasses, with a pair of sneakers.Christopher shot his mouth wide open from the moment he walked in. "Father! Why on earth would you wear that?""I'm getting old already. I'm tired of the suits and corporate wears" he replied. "I understand but this? Governors and some important people are down there""Great, I won't be noticed at all" Mr Croydon replied.Christopher groaned in frustration. "You know my birthday isn't
For several hours, Kelly has been with James. She has been laughing out her ass as he told her some jokes. James just watched her silently with a cute smile on his face. "You know, I really enjoy spending time with you. It's like I can stay here the entire night with you" he said. The look on her face vanished immediately. She was feeling guilty. "I should tell you something James" she started. "You don't have to say anything" he replied. "No, I can't hide it anymore. I don't want to fool you. I'm not Chloe. I'm her twin sister, Kelly" Kelly said and dragged down her wig. "I'm sorry for lying to you the entire time. My brother...""Kelly" James called out. She stopped ranting and kept mute. "I know you were Kelly even before I arrived here" "What?" Kelly was confused. If he knew she was Kelly, why has he been calling her Chloe and acting like he doesn't know? James poured some wine into the glasses. "Chloe is with my father right now, shooting a movie""Oh, busted" she folde
The next day, Kelly was dressed up as Chloe. Ethan even helped her pick the perfect outfit. Wilson already set up the fancy dinner at the penthouse. "The wig is itching" Kelly scratched her head. "You look like Chloe. You just have to add badass to your character" "I really can't do that part" Kelly replied. "Whatever, just act like you're really a model" he said. "Yes sir" Kelly rolled her eyes. Ethan checked his wrist watch. "Uh, I'll have to go pick him up in an hour. You should go wait in the penthouse""Okay" Kelly replied. Ethan ran out of the room and almost bumped into Hazel. Kelly saw Ethan's phone on the table and rushed out to give it to him. "Oh hey Ethan. I was looking for you" Hazel said, throwing her hair to the back. "Oh, hey! I saw some event planner with your mother. What's happening?""Oh, my grandpa's birthday. It's going to be splendid. If you don't want to attend, you can..." He stopped when the door opened and Kelly walked out, dressed like Chloe. Ha
Peter rushed into Ben's office and banged his hand on the table, while Ben laughed at the screen of his phone. "It's been two days and we haven't gotten James TD. We have to do something!" He yelled. Ben didn't even bulge. He just kept staring at the screen of his phone. "Ben!" Peter yelled. Ben turned and gaze at Peter. "It's your fucking duty Peter. If my father finds out that you haven't gotten the bloody ass James TD, he'll fire you. All he'll do to me is yell at me" Ben rolled his eyes. "What?" Peter looked surprised. The door flew wide open and Manuel walked in. "Mr Manuel!" Peter bowed. Ben saw his father and rushed to him. "Father!" He said. Before Ben could reach his father, he slapped him hard on the cheek. Manuel growled angrily. "F..father?" He called out. "You are a disgrace! How dare you! This is the last chance for you to prove yourself!""I'm trying my best father" Ben said. "I don't see your best. Ethan has gotten Hazel Morgan already...""Impossible!" He
Wilson barged into Ethan's office, holding some files. He dropped them on the table and stopped to catch his breath. Since morning, he has been working non stop. He also has to be careful since the recorder was still on, under the desk. "These are the files you requested for" "Thank you. You can take a break" he said. "But, how do you intend on contacting those models? It's so difficult" Wilson asked. "I'll handle it. I'll find a way" Ethan sighed."I'll be outside if you need anything" he said. "Sure" he replied. Ethan leaned back and started thinking. "How do I get those people to work for me?" He asked himself. He's aware that the team has sent them an email but, they chose to ignore it. They are indirectly ignoring the offer. "There must be a way" he clenched his fist. .."Since the idea was to steal Ethan's idea, you have to keep stealing it. Get those models to work for you. He hasn't gotten them yet" Peter said to Ben. He just sat on his chair, jerking it right to l
Everyone got to the house after dropping Gwen's grandmother at the hospital. It was a long ride. Michelle helped her move into her new room. "Again, I welcome you to the Croydon's manor" she said. Gwen smiled. "Thanks ma'am. I promise to leave after all is over""Oh, it's okay. You can stay here. I'm sure Ethan will be happy" Michelle said. Gwen just lowered her head and blushed secretly. "You have access to a balcony and also to the kitchen. You have access to everywhere just don't go to Christopher's office" "Of course ma'am"Michelle said and wanted to leave. She remembered something. "Don't say a word about the investigation to Ethan. I don't want him to get worried""I won't" Michelle placed a hand on her shoulder and finally left. He went to the lobby where Christopher and detective Jones were. "Ben or his father?" Detective Jones asked Christopher.She walked in, hearing that question. "Ginny didn't give me the details but, she told me that Ben came home badly hurt a
Ethan gently dragged Gwen to the kitchen and helped her with her burnt finger. Gwen didn't expect that type of help from her boss. She just kept smiling and looking at him. She gripped the tip of her gown, thinking of how to thank him for last night. She knew that if he hadn't come on time, Ben would have tried to hurt her or even do the unthinkable."Thank you for saving me from your cousin, Ethan" she finally spoke. "I did what I had to do, as your boss" he replied, without looking at her. Gwen felt awkward. "I know your mom didn't know you were my boss and she thought I was your girlfriend..." He let go of her hand. "Well, she's wrong. I apologize for that. You're not my girlfriend, you're just an employee of mine and it's my duty to save my employees. There's nothing between us Gwen. You don't need to feel comfortable around me" he said and walked away. Gwen gazed at her finger and left after him. She went back to the dinning table and ate silently. She watched as Mr and Mr
Gwen arrived at the club already. She stood in front, seeing the naked ladies and other men hooking up and smooching in front. She squeezed her face in disgust as it made her remember her former boss who gave her a job in exchange for her body. She bit her lower lips and clenched her fist. "It's not new to you Gwen. If he asks for it, give it to him" she said to herself and walked in. She walked pass the huge men by the door. One of the stopped her and check a picture on his phone. "She's the one" he said. "I'll take her to him!" The second one added and stretched his hand. "This way, miss" he said. "Huh?" Gwen asked. "He has been waiting for you" he said. It was then Gwen knew they were talking about Ben. She wore a fake smile and entered into the club. The loud music enveloped her. The sight of naked ladies dancing on poles, exposing their tits and bare ass to the men who were getting tempted to touch them. She took her gaze off their body and walked up the stairs till she
