Lola~Mom had gotten over herself and Grandma Eva. We were back to the dinning table, the rest of her family didn’t continue with the food so we could all eat together which was really sweet. “I’m telling you, she legit called me a kidnapper.” Dylan voice brought me out of my thoughts. I groaned as I remembered exactly what it was that he was talking about, hitting him on his biceps lightly.“You’ve got to be kidding me. She did that?” Liam asked, clutching his tummy to stable his laughters. I rolled my eyes, wrapping my arms against my chest as I glared at Dylan who had taken it upon himself to tell the most embarrassing moment I had in Netherlands.“Not just that, she went ahead to call me a stalker. I mean. Me? Have you seen me? A stalker!” He exclaimed, dramatically raising and falling his hands.“Well, excuse me for being security conscious.” I bit back with not bite. I heard Chloe snort from behind “You should have been more security conscious before yo
Adonis~“You can’t ignore me! I am just as important in this as you are and I demand that you be invested in this whole charade.” Penelope yelled, pacing about frustratedly.I sighed inwardly, massaging my temples and poured myself a glass of water. “Do I look like I care about keeping up your image or your father’s? I told you I would do this. I would go this far and you know the reason why I agreed to do this but you expect me to be invested, go with you to the hall? Go wedding dress shopping and all that. You’re bull-shitting yourself if you think for a moment that I am interested.” I snapped. It’s been weeks since the unfortunate agreement I had to make in other to keep mom safe. Penelope sighed, clicking her tongue as she made her way towards me. To be honest, I’ve racked my brain as to why a beautiful lady like herself would want to settle for me. Me! The same me that’s made it clear I wasn’t interested in her. I remember going to meet her at the cafe that day an
Adonis~It’s been hours since I left the company. I met up with the private investigator I hired but still got nothing. Maybe I’m bound to get married to Penelope after all. I sighed, picking out a suit from my closet. Penelope had sent a message to let me know she’d be arriving in thirty minutes. If I had my way, I’d probably be locked in my study but no, not only do I have to get married to Penelope but I also have to through these outings. I sighed inwardly as I put on my clothes. I felt like a mannequin that was breathed air into and required to do every of father’s whim. It wasn’t like this while I was growing. Truthfully, he was my hero. I worshipped the ground he walked on simply because he was so successful at such a young age. It didn’t matter if I didn’t see him that often because he always made me proud when I was out. I loved hearing the 'Oh, Mr Green’s your father?’ ‘He’s Mr Green’s son’'Mr Green is an icon' Mr Green this
Adonis~“What the hell, Adonis? I asked for just three hours of your time and you couldn’t even fulfill that? You had to embarrass me in front of my friends, staring at her like she’s your life. You stood up and almost walked out on me right there. What sort of embarrassment is that?” Penelope yelled. I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to contain the different emotions rushing through my vein. We were still in the restaurant, Penlope has followed me into the restroom, ignoring the 'Males only’ sitting outside the door.She barged into the restroom, her eyes searching around the place till it landed on me,marched-up to me in anger and slapped my chest hard.“Fuck you! " She spat out. “What? What did you want me to do? I’ve told you I won’t ever be able to love you. I won’t be able to do what you want. I’m the wrong person for you but you won’t listen. You know exactly why I am doing all of this. Keeping this meaningless charade and constant hurting mys
Adonis~I felt my breathe hitch upon seeing the message, did Lola already tell him that she saw me? I sighed, placing the phone back into my pocket. I glanced at the table where Penelope and friends were. If I was to spend another minute there, I’d probably loose the last brain cell I have.Fuck it.I walked out of the restaurant, hoping her highness doesn’t see me and start one of her mental episode. I got a taxi and hopped in, ignoring the beeping sounds coming from my phone. I knew just who would be texting me and I was in no mood to see those messages.I couldn’t help but think back at what she did while we were in the restroom. How quickly she changed personalities, how fast her smile went from dark to light. Over the weeks of dealing with her, I’ve seen glimpses of her behaving weirdly but none like today.Today was really weird. She thought she was in some competition with Lola. I mean, Lola did not even know her so how would she be in a competit
Lola~“Lola! Lola! Lola!” Dylan yelled after me, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop walking. I felt tears stream down my face as images of what I just saw flashed through my mind.“Lola!” Dylan finally caught up to me, grabbing my wrist and pulled me closer to him. His eyes filled with worry, he bent a little to reach my height, fingers softly flicking the tears on my cheeks“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He asked and I shook my head. I didn’t want to speak about it. I want to forever forget what I just saw but I couldn’t.Yes. Liam told me Adonis is getting married to the same lady but there was nothing and I mean nothing on earth that would’ve prepared me for the image I saw.Adonis sitting there, a lazy smile on his face, in the midst of people but her hands was on his. I felt my throat clog up as soon as his eyes found mine. His eyes, growing wide in recognition or maybe guilt? I couldn’t help but watch his ‘Fiancée’ hold his wrist, a sm
Adonis~I watched her take a seat, trying to collect herself and look at me. Her eyes was cold and distant. I inhaled deeply and began to walk closer to her, taking a seat opposite her but also not so far from her.I heard the sharp intake she took when I sat, instinctively I reached out to touch her but she flinched. She flinched away from me. I felt my heart stop for a second as I noticed that action “Please don’t touch me.” She whispered and if it’s possible for a person’s heart to get shattered twice then mine just did.I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying to gather my thoughts and voice but I couldn’t seem to get the words I longed to say out of my mouth. How do I start? I missed you? I love you? I’m sorry I hurt you?How exactly do I start because I have no idea.Earlier when Liam had asked me to come over without any explanation I did. It never crossed my mind that he would ask Lola to come too. Maybe if he told me, I would’ve prepared
Lola~I ran out of the house, ignoring the yells of Liam and Chloe. I just wanted to be away from everyone as it is. I stopped a taxi and hopped it, wiping the tears that trickled down my cheeks. Just why did he tell me all of these now? My thoughts were going hay wire and I had nothing to do to stop it. "Ma’am, I couldn’t help but notice your mood. Is everything alright?“ the taxi driver piped up. I hadn’t noticed the tears silently flowing down my face as I leaned against the back seat. I sat up right, wiping my tear stricken face and looked at the driver whose features had turned into one of concern.I opened my mouth to speak but nothing was coming out so I nodded. He smiled warmly at me “Everything-goes.” He says.Our eyes met through the rear view “Have you heard it? It’s a song by BTS leader, Kim Namjoon and also my favorite song.” He says and turned on the volume of the radio'As the night passes and morning comes, as flowers and frui
Lola~Eight months after…"We don’t have all day, Lola. Come on.” Adonis yelled impatiently. I grabbed my phone and walked out of the room. It’s not like anyone told him to get dressed an hour before the said time an now he’s taking it out on me.“You can’t rush perfection, Adonis.” I yelled back. My heels clicking against the marble floor. Adonis was pacing around the living room, talking on the phone with someone I presume to be Liam. A smile made it’s way to my lips as I took a ground look of him. He was dressed in a grey suit, his hair had grown out longer and he tied it into a ponytail with few strands falling to his forehead. I watched as he gently picked up the sculpture sitting pretty on the shelf even as he spoke. He seemed to notice my presence and immediately turned to look at me.A warm smile embracing his lips as his eyes slowly raked me. “I’ll be there soon with her.” He says and cut the call, walking closer to me with a hint of mischief in his eyes.“Are you ready?” I as
It’s been four days…Four days since I’ve gotten mom back. One day since since father has been arrested arraigned to court where he was found guilty of fraud and also holding mom hostage even after her accident. He was also found guilty for threatening me and sentenced to seven years imprisonment.My life has suddenly taken a different turn and route. No matter how short and private the court proceedings were, some of it was still bound to spill to the public and that it did. Although I wasn’t shaken by the different conspiracies people kept coming up with.“Hey.” Lola whispered, I turned to look at her with a glass of apple juice in her hands. I rolled my eyes playfully as she took a seat beside me. We were both sitting in Liam and Chloe’s patio. We couldn’t celebrate fully since mom was still in the hospital, Penelope still hasn’t been caught and Lola hasn’t healed. She still has a cast on and still uses her crutches.We all sat outside here eating and talking until Chloe felt slee
Adonis ~It’s been three days. Three days since I went to the police station and gave them the recording I had, filing a report against dad for holding mom hostage. They accepted it and opened the case but said they’d have to investigate it further before taking actions. I was loosing patience as the day went by, here I am hunched against the desk, staring at my laptop.“Sir.” Noah’s voice boomed in the office, I sat up to see him standing right in front of the table.“It’s late and I should head home now.” He says and I nodded.“How about you, sir? I don’t think it’s quite okay for you to spend the night here. You should go home and rest.” He tells me but I wasn’t willing to listen. I need work to distract myself from everything going wrong In my life. I legit thought handing the recording of father saying he’d rather kill mom would be enough to take him into custody the next day perhaps but it’s been three whole days! Three days of me waiting for the result of their investigation.
Adonis~A glass cup was thrown at the door Immediately I stepped in, I ducked my head as fast as I could and the glass smashed against the wall. I turned to look at the now shattered pieces of the glass cup.Fuck!I turned to see the man responsible for it, he had a drink in his hand, looking too calm for someone who threw a glass cup at me seconds ago. I gulped down the pile in my throat as he smiled.“Welcome.” He grinned rather scarily, gulping more of the drink down his throat. I took the liberty to look around but everywhere looked normal. Like it has always been.“What happened with Penelope?” He asked and I shrugged, walking away from the door, to the living room. He raised his eyebrows on seeing my response. Smashing the glass of alcohol he had in his hand on the floor. I flinched hard as soon as I saw what he did, slowly glancing up at him to see blood dripping down his hand.“I asked you a question, boy! I expect an answer.” He snarled angrily."How am I supposed to know wha
Adonis ~It felt like a punch was thrown to my guts as I looked at Penelope who smirked right at me. “You did what?” I snarled, grabbing her by the arm as I glared at her. Her sick and twisted smile back on her face. I squeezed her arm as tightly as I could, knowing she’d have marks there. “What the fuck did you do to, Lola? I snapped angrily and she grinned, darting her tongue out to lick her lips sultrily.“Why? You can’t stand your darling baby cakes, lay in an hospital bed for some days or months or-if I’m lucky enough, years?” She taunted. A growl escaped my lips, I grabbed her neck, my hands tightened against her neck. I pushed her against the wall, gripping her neck tightly as her face became red in an instant.“If something happens to, Lola. I promise you, you’d die by my hands and I’ll gladly go to jail.” I snarled, digging my nails into her arms to leave a mark. "I promise you, I will personally make sure to put a bullet through your skull and feed your remains to vultures.
Adonis ~(Note; all of these happened before Lola’s accident. This happened on the day of her accident.) I woke up the next day with my phone blazing through my ears. A groan escaped my lips as I sat up, sleepily rubbing my eyes as I reached for my phone. I spent the rest of the night yesterday going through work with Noah. I’ve been slacking off but how can I not slack off? I’ve been going through hell trying to get mom back and fuck this whole wedding with Penelope who by the way decided it was a great move to leave my phone with so many missed calls.“Hello sir.” I recognized the voice of my private investigator, immediately sitting up right. He’s calling this early morning and that should mean something, right?“Any news?” I asked, going straight o the point and ignoring every greeting I know I should have done. I could feel my heart beat thump louder in my chest as I waited for his reply.“I have news sir but I have to see you for this.” He tells me. I furrowed my eyebrows, getti
Adonis~Here i was sitting in a coffee shop, waiting for Penelope’s friend of maybe a for. I had no idea what to think or maybe I do, after all she did tell me that she hates Penelope. I sighed as I rubbed the nape of my neck, taking a sip of the expresso I had ordered. Images of what happened earlier in the day flashed through my mind. I could only hope I haven’t fucked up everything entirely with Lola.I looked up to see someone walking towards me, I cocked my eyebrows up on seeing who it was. I didn’t understand why she was dressed so weirdly. She has a black face cap on, a black jean and top, pairing it with a black jacket and black sunglasses. I furrowed my eyebrows as she got to my side. Looking left and right before sitting down opposite me.“What’s going on? Why are you dressed like some spy and looking around so cautiously and nervously?” I asked as she removed her sunglasses and cap. "What? Please tell me you know who I am?” She asked, rakin
