Maria took a deep breath and turned swiftly to see Caleb walking into the room bare chested. She traveled her eyes quickly on his body before looking up at him with a sad smile. "I can't believe this." She mumbled. "I should have known but how could I have?" she questioned, shaking her head. "But I never trusted her anyway." She said and Caleb closed the door behind him. "I am sorry about this. But you and your friend didn't have super power to know that she is a Foe disguising as a friend." Caleb shrugged apologetically. It was sickening to the stomach to find out what Vera had done. "It doesn't matter now, the point is that she is caught and will pay for her sins." he assured her and pulled her into a hug. EARLIER IN THE DAY...... Maria was seen walking towards a black tinted car. She opened the door and got in. The person sitting behind the wheel was revealed to be Robert. "Mr Fin." she mumbled respectfully. "I came as soon as I got your message." She said nervously and Ro
Vicky stirred and groaned for the third time in a row. Her phone kept beeping and she hated it. She hates for her sleep to be disrupted. The thing she hated most was to be woken up when she had no intention of getting out of bed. Flicking her eyes open, she eyed the phone and threw it across the room, a shattering sound followed as she pulled the duvet back on her body. She stared at the clock on the nightstand as the seconds ticked away in her mind. 7 a.m. She hissed and closed her eyes to go back to bed when the door barged open and her mother stormed into the room, looking horrified like she had seen a ghost. "Vicky, get up." She said, her voice rising above the shrillness of panic. "You need to see this." "Go away , Mom. I am still sleeping." She muttered, covering her head with her pillow as she tried to block out the noises her mother was making."Get up, Vicky. You have to." The woman cried out, pulling the duvet away from her body and shoving the phone on her face, "see!"
"I see you, come join me for breakfast." Mrs Singh said, yelling across the dining room. She had sighted Selena who had turned around, trying to flee when she walked in and saw Mrs Singh seated, having breakfast. Selena pushed her right foot in before pulling the left one, looking around sheepishly, she couldn't believe she was caught trying to flee. How will the elderly woman see her? She wondered in her mind."I have hoped to see you before returning home and here you are. Sit with me." The older woman said and beckoned on the maid nearby to pour Selena some tea."I hope you don't mind sitting with me?" She asked curiously, watching Selena intently. Selena shook her head and forced a smile, "not at all. I didn't want to disturb your breakfast, that's why I tried going back." She apologized and Mrs Singh gave her a light smile, "you don't have to worry about that. You are not in my way. In fact I could use a company, you know." She said and sipped her tea, lingering her gaze on Sele
"It's nerve-wracking to be in front of me and gossip about my friend." Caleb eyed Maria as he put the last of his shirt inside the closest. She chuckled, "your friend is an ass and he does the unthinkable. I can assume anything about him." He rolled his eyes at her. "I doubt that but anyways, let's forget about him and enjoy ourselves while we are here. The idea of this vacation is to have fun." Caleb walked towards her, grabbing her hand before she could escape. He pulled her closer so that they were chest to chest. "What do you have in mind?" he asked, brushing his nose against hers. It was a habit which neither of them minded. In fact, they loved it when they did so. His thumb gently traced the outline of her cheekbone.She leaned up on her toes, grinning," anything you have in mind, I am in for it."His lip pulled up in a side grin as he lowered his lips to hers. Their lips were just inches apart when his phone rang, disrupting the romantic moment. Caleb cussed in his mind, pulli
There was a momentary blackout in the mall, disrupting activities. However the lights came on immediately, shading off any commotion that was starting to occur. That was about five minutes ago and that's how long Selena has been gone. Julio was starting to get impatient, not because he was talking time but his guts telling her something was wrong. In fact he was more worried and less impatient. How long would it take for her to change? He wondered and told himself to wait for another one minute before going in search of her. He looked around and found every other person minding their business. The attendants were back in positions and the mall's activities went on, nuzzling with people here and there. A minute later and Selena was not back. The hair at the back of his head stood up and Julio sprang up from his seat."Hey, you!" He yelled, pointing at one of the attendants, "What's keeping my girl?" He demanded impatiently. "I don't know, Sir. Let me check." The attendant an
"One and only." Jake said like he was about to get his favorite sweet. "Did you miss me?" He cooed and made a silly tone. Maria could suddenly feel her blood rushing to her face and wanted to hang up. The nerve of Jake. The audacity of the guy. First he tries to sell her then calls her cupcake?No matter how angry she was, her heart still skipped beats because of the guy at the other end of the phone."No, I don't." She said through gritted teeth and swallowed hard."Good, I thought as much." He said. Maria could swear that he smirked when he replied. "Anyway," he continued after a few moments of silence, "as you might have heard, I am out of jail." He chuckled and still continued, "I was wondering what you and I can do to celebrate that."Maria wasn't smiling anymore, "what do you want?" She asked flatly and pressed her phone back against her ear, staring at herself in the mirror. In as much as she was nervous just hearing his doomed voice, she felt like strangling him. "Funny ho
"Selena is missing." Robert turned sharply towards his brother with a frown, the glass win in his hand almost slipped off. "What do you mean?" Robert asked and narrowed his eyes. "It appears she has been kidnapped or some sort off." Julio said and sighed, "the police are investigating.""Wait, are you being serious? When did she leave the mansion?" Julio was taken aback by his brother's reaction. It's kind of weird that Robert will be unaware of Selena leaving the mansion, it was unlikely of his brother."She went out with me." Julio offered after a moment of silence. He watched as Robert frowned at him in disbelief. "What were you thinking? You knew she was almost killed the other day yet you took her out without protecting her like a hawk." Robert exclaimed before taking a deep breath to compose himself. He was freaking out but he doesn't want his brother to know."I am sorry, she was stressed and I thought to take her along with me. I just wanted her to feel better somehow." Jul
"Dash!" Selena exclaimed surprised, "what am I doing here?" She asked, her voice so loud. She was already on her feet, staring straight into his eyes, gagging his reaction. He didn't act surprised, he just smiled and walked to her. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he sighed. "Thank goodness, you are awake." His voice filled with relief. "I was afraid you were not going to wake up sooner.""What do you mean? How long have I been out?" She bombarded him with questions but it didn't seem like he was ready to answer any of her questions. Rather, he made her sit back on the bed."Just know that you are safe here." He said and Selena was forced to ask yet another question. "What do you mean? You are yet to answer me, why are you here with me and where am I?""You don't have to worry." He brushed his palm against her cheek, "you are safe with me." Selena felt the need for him to explain what's going on. No doubt she is safe with him. But she wants to understand if he had her abducted to
