"Mom please just stop It" I spat and rushed out of my room towards the sitting room while my mom followed behind me" Come on Xander, what's wrong with you? It's been more than a month since you came back and you have refused to settle down with a girl. Come on son" she bawled behind me. I crashed into the exquisite white chair in the sitting room and placed my hand underneath my chin. Being the son of a billionaire does come with a lot of fuss but then mom's fuss was greater than..I just came back to the country a month back after studying in the United kingdom. I am twenty seven years old and mom has clung to my neck that I should get married and settle down. Phew, don't get me wrong, I hadn't seen the right girl I liked so I guess I'd be better ei chill but then she didn't agree with that."What's going on here?" My dad snapped. I stared at the door and noticed his entrance. He wore an exquisite red shirt striped with blue. Dad was middle aged by then still had a perfect shape and
I raised my head and got the glimpse of a little girl advancing towards me. Her face looked kinda familiar but then I couldn't place where I had particularly met her. She walked agilely towards me." Hi little girl", I said and waved as she now stood in front of me. She was smiling at me but then I had no reasoning why she was."Hi Ma'am Alina"she said smiling and hugged me. I was caught off guard as she pressed her body around me and wrapped her hands around me. My expression was that flummox. I placed my hand on her back gently trying to be courteous to her as she was a kid despite I was oblivious who she was and how she knew my name."Hey girlie, what's your name and how do you know my own name?" I squatted down to be on her level while I inquired. "I am Chloe Britney'' she bawled. I rolled my eyes and my hands were placed on her tender shoulders. She wore a white gown and a pair of black slippers. "Chloe??" I drawled and tried regressing to my memories to see if prolly the nam
" What's wrong?"I asked, seeing her reaction to my question. Her eyes rolled around as she stood back erect and avoided eye contact with me. All of a sudden, I saw tears gathering in her eyes" No, you said nothing wrong" she said and sniffled with a shaky voice. "About Chloe going to school, it's because I didn't pay her school fee"she said." Oh wow, I am so sorry about that"I said and grabbed her hand which we were dangling right in front of me whilst I sat."Thank you. Chloe, go to your room now" she said."Okay mom, bye Ma'am Alina '', she said and waved at me as she stood up from the couch. Hastily, she walked towards the right part of the room where there was a door. Her mom and now stared at her as she disappeared"So, I am guessing you do not have money to pay her fees?" I inquired. She looked at me and clamped her eyes. She walked to the other end and sat on the couch facing me. "I have no money to pay her fees..I am really poor. It pains and hurts me so much seeing that C
"Yes," Zelda bawled.My eyes widened hearing that the person I was looking for had just been found. My visage switched up immediately. " Are you serious? Are you very sure about this?" I inquired rapidly." Yeah, Adrian is the Alpha of the Dark moon park and the most strongest pack in the whole of Waterise." She confirmed. On hearing this my heart ceased beating for a second. Maybe it stopped because I realized that I had drawn close to my task or better still I was scared wondering how I was gonna achieve it."Why are you asking, do you know him?" Zelda asked. I licked my lips tensely" Not really," I replied. Stressed my whole head to think of a way to make her take me to him. Surely she wasn't just gonna take me to the house stating that I was her friend. How was I gonna make her take me to then so I'd work as a maid. "Are you sure?" She drawled and I nodded."Ummm but can I ask you for a favor or better still your help?" I pleaded. She stared confused. Chloe wasn't really paying
" YOU ARE SUCH AN A**HOLE!!" I roared at Miguel, my boyfriend. Miguel and I have been dating for two years straight now and he always seems to be the perfect man whom I felt would make a good and perfect life partner, prolly I was too quick to decide. He always treated me like a queen and a princess at the same time. I know that's an exaggeration but it's the truth to me or rather a facade. I was twenty one when I met Miguel at a restaurant when I was out with my best friend Maia after school. We both were seated, eating and chit chatting when Miguel and two of his friends bounced in the restaurant with loud chatter and noise. They drew both my attention and that of the others in the restaurant. Oh jeez he was so handsome with his nice black curly hair and a bright smile filled his face. They walked past us still having a conversation and we both shared glances and I must swear that this time I really felt butterflies in my belly. They sat behind us and soon a waiter came to attend
" I hate you so much Miguel," Scarlett cussed.The night after the whole saga between the latter and the former, Scarlett resorted to finding solace in Lux which is a bar. She was seated and drinking herself to death, gulping each drink in one go."Skink another shot" Scarlett said and sighed. The bartender nodded and poured another from the bottle. She grabs it and gulps it in one go, slouching her neck backwards. The Bar was noisy as jazz music was in the background and then others were having a good time.She was dressed in tight blue jean pants and a plain brown shirt. "He sure is a loser" a voice came from behind Scarlett. She turns slantly and locked eyes with Brody Lelands."What?" Scarlett asked, quite confused. Her eyes ran up from his face and then down to his feet. He was tall, muscular and in his early thirties."I mean the man who put you in this state is a loser" he cussed, still standing with a beer mug filled to the brim in his hand."Hmmm" She turned back and brushe
" You!!" I snapped as I saw who just entered my office. It was the same lady I had a conversation with at Lux." Yes" she Drawled. We gawked at each other before my eyes retraced it's gaze to her abdomen and so that she was heavy with child."Ummm please sit" I said and pointed my hand towards the swivel chair that faced me. She seemed more surprised seeing me but the my eyes couldn't leave her protruding tommy."Thank you" she muttered and pushed herself and collapsed casually on the chair." How are you?" I quizzed and laid relaxed in my chair." I'm fine" she dropped mildly. The whole situation between us was awkward because the last time we met, we had a one night stand and I am sure the whole thing still lingered."I uhmmm I am here for a job" she stuttered with her eyes straying away from mine. I firmly placed my hand in the desk right before me with the radiation of the light from my laptop blasting my face."Oh okay, I am sorry about the other night. We both were drunk and I g
Tony Malone sat in his swivel chair, his expression morose as he studied his medical report. A cough seized him, sending a pang of pain through his chest.“You have one month left if you do not undergo the surgery,” echoed the doctor’s voice in Tony’s ears.Beside him lay a file detailing his company’s financial accounts. He shook his head in dismay. The company teetered on the brink of bankruptcy due to the exorbitant expenses incurred from treating his heart disease. Watching his own company falter without a viable solution weighed heavily on him.Leaning back in his chair, Tony closed his eyes, feeling the heat rise to his face. At a loss, he even considered organ donation, but his wife, Melissa, vehemently opposed it, insisting on the surgery. With no other choice, Tony sold off his shares to gather funds, ending up with the smallest stake in the company.Lost in his thoughts, a sudden bang at the door startled him. Before he could respond, Tyler barged in.“Hey, what’s up?” Tony
Authors POV Mia was in her room the next morning. She was pondering on her encounter with her supposed arch enemy, John. She sat on the bed, feeling much better than she felt the other night.The flashback of how John came so close to her yesterday stuck to her brain. It was a feeling that she couldn’t explain, just like genuine love, but she didn’t think it was love, probably immense disgust.Her hands wrapped around her chest, she sat on the bed silently and also strayed her thoughts to the new bride, or rather old wife as she claimed. The colossal part of Mia felt she overreacted about the whole situation. Why was she even angry? Was she married to Him or was he entitled to telling her about his past life? Irrespective of this incongruent thought of hers, she still felt bad, or rather angry.“Good day, ma’am”. A voice popped from outside which was accompanied with a knock on the door. It was the new cook “Yes, please come in” The cook came in with a tray in his hand. It had the
My heart raced so fast when Lucifer walked into the room. Thankfully, before he walked in, I collected Rogers hoodie and wore. I was sure he saw him when he came in and that’s why he came to my room. Lucifer never visited me so late at night, so the red flag was very glaring.I managed to convince him and he left the room not so suspicious. Thanks to God that my ears are very sharp and I heard the creaking floor boards as he approached. I guess God was on my side too.“That was a close one” I sighed with my hand pressing my chest after he left. Rogers who hid behind the curtains also came out.“You need to leave now!!” I snapped at him as he tried grabbing my arm romantically.“ and why should I?” He held my cheeks and tried kissing me but I tossed him aside.“Don’t do that again… please” he dragged and looked at me sternly. I looked back at him and held my breathe. A little bit of fear gripped me as I remembered what I had seen in his house. The drugs I saw made me a little terrified
" hi, Mister," A young chap greeted me with the Spanish accent. He was a bright looking boy. He had a confused smile on his face. With his blonde short hair." Good day Chap, you must be Jose ain't it?"I queried and squatted down to his level. He stared at me befuddled, but then I was smiling at him. He had a clear face and did have semblance with his father."Yes I'm Jose, how do you know my name, Mister?" He questioned with a childish voice. His left eye was slightly closed. I was about to answer, when there was a thunder clap.I looked upwards and the clouds where forming and sure a heavy rain was about wetting the soil."nada de qué preocuparse, chico (Nothing to worry about boy)" I said in Spanish. I scoffed and placed my hand on his face. " Jose, con quién estás hablando? (Jose who are you talking to?)" A feminine voice resounded from behind. " Who are you?"A lady questions with weak English and Spanish accent. The lady drags Jose away from my clasp. I huffed and stared at my
" Why did you summon us all? Brad snapped at me. It was the next day after I came back from Carl's house and I summoned everyone to the living room for a pack meeting. Carl was also invited but he hadn't arrived then."Just wait for Carl, there is something important I have to discuss and share with everyone." I said while Brad folded his hand gloating at me.The whole pack members were gathered and itching to hear what I had in store. Usually, I always did the listening but this time, doing the speaking did come with some ecstatic feeling."I don't have the whole fucking day Alina, you either speak now or I will waltz out of here."Brad bawled pointing his hand at me. My hands were now folded."Calm down Brad, she has never asked for permission to speak so give her this one chance"Lady Macbeth said. She seized a moment with my glare. We gaped at each other and she nodded first with a smile and blinked her eyes for about half a minute."Okay then" Brad said and sat back on his seat.
"I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now. It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious." Armando, what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his."I am very serious Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breathe ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when
“So what is the situation back there?” Asher bashes Ma Trisha with his questions. she looks at me and then right back at him. I know from her looks that what prolly happened was out of the ordinary. She looks very pale and her eye can actually speak out the full story. I thrutch backwards and allow her move forward. She sighs but still on, she doesn’t say a word. I ponder in my heart wondering nd what king her she going her kind and what hodge might have gone through but I still can’t still figure it out. “It was a lot”she manages to spit out at last. I can only but imagine all that she went through. I can literally pick out the pain from her voice. “Please tell me more” Asher says with the utmost urge to want to know what happened. He is gritting his teeth right now with his hands clenched firmly. She doesn’t speak further. She continues to ogle at the both of us as though we are the one who are expected to speak and explain. I lock my lips and gulp down saliva while I allow
" You stand there and tell me you are sorry?" I bellowed. I brought the knife very close to his neck. He stayed there and moved not. "I do not care what you want to do with me. I know whatever comes my way from you, I really do deserve it. I was a son of a bitch and treated you like scum. You did everything to please me, but I was too stupid to have seen it." He voiced with a shaky voice that passed so many emotions, like a strummed guitar. His hands are still pointing downwards. His eyes quirked a second. I glared at him for seconds. My hands trembled as I had a very strong grasp on the knife. My face contorted and my eyes narrowed. All I felt in me was total bitterness. I really felt the urge to stab him but I was trying so hard to resist the demon." I just feel like killing you Rogers!!!! " I growled and placed the side of the sharp knife to his throat. I pressed slowly, but then it tipped on his neck. Suddenly blood started dripping little by little. I gnashed my teeth and wa
"When we have cookies, I play a game with her", Zelda said smiling and also relaxed on a seat." Game? What game is that?" I inquired, quite eager to find out what it was. My hands were laid on the table and eyes fixed on Mrs Zelda."It's a kind of questioning and truth" she said." Do you mean truth or dare?" "No, not that. Now the question and truth session is slightly different from truth or dare. In this game, before you pick a Cookie, someone would ask you a question and you have to be truthful to the core to answer the questions asked or the God of cookies is gonna take the cookies away." Her mom said and I chuckled." Disclaimer, Its just fiction and it's just some fun thing I do with her . She think it's true, so I use it to get answers from her when she lies to me because she loves cookies so much" her mom whispered to me because she was seated beside me. " Oh okay"I chortled."I will be right back, I need to get some milk" Zelda said and got up from her chair.I sighed de
"What is the plan?” Sir Luca questioned looking at us all. My eyes went to Adrain and wanted him to explain it because he made it.“ We do not really have a plan as of now because we are still not ready. Alina is the one who would be fighting Tiana…” he was still explaining when Sir lUca cut in.“ Why is it Aloka that would he going against Tiana? You should know how strong Tian is now at this moment. You know she is a witch and Also a balck wolf. I really do not think it is that great an idea for Alina to be the one that fights Tiana. I think you should be the one because she still has a soft spot For You and you can use that as namn upper hand to get her” Sur lUca said. In as much as I didn't want to get pissed but then I felt awkward. He sounded a though I was worthless.“ Let me out, let me show this Asshole what I am made of '' Maddy roared at me. The tone with which she used in vocalizing made me chuckle slightly.“Alina is the best person to go against Tiana not me because she
