“Mum, are you dating Dad now?” Caleb's tiny voice sounded from behind Rissa.

She turned and saw Caleb flashing his missing tooth.

“Aren't you supposed to be in bed?” Rissa questioned, overwhelmed.

“I couldn't sleep; Mandy was loud”, he responded, scrunching up his nose.

Mandy eyed him maliciously “How was I loud?”

“You were loud like this”, Caleb said and made a shirking noise.

Rissa had to cover his mouth to stop him.

“Keep quiet; it is late, sweetheart”, Rissa cautioned him and he adhered to it.

“Okay, sorry, mum”, he responded dejectedly and made for his room, giving Mandy a dirty look.

“That wasn't nice Caleb!” Rissa said.

“Sorry mum! Sorry Mandy,” Caleb said and walked out gently.

Rissa and Mandy exchanged knowing looks and smiled warmly.

“Thank you Mandy”, Rissa said.

She recounted the memory of her first meeting with her.

Mandy had looked hideous on the outside but turned out to be a total sweetheart on the inside.

“There is no need for that, you and Caleb have been keeping me

    Diane's smile faltered as she saw Rissa and Adrian walk in.To talk about an unpleasant coincidence, this was the highest of it.They were talking about something hilarious and laughing.“Mrs Hickson”, she heard her lawyer call.Diane bit her lower lips in annoyance “I hope you understand perfectly well”, the lawyer said firmly.“Of Course Mr Bennett”, she responded nonchalantly, still distracted by the unpleasant peasant situation in front of her.She fought back the urge to snap them and publicize them.But her fear of the ruthless Adrian Grey held her back.She covered her face with her fringe and sunglasses.Yet she still fears the risk of exposure.“Can I leave now?” Bennett said with a smile plastered on his face.“Thank you, Mr Bennett,” she responded.The lawyer picked up his bag and left.Adrian and Rissa sat in the VIP section undisturbed.They kept talking about Caleb sharing likes and dislikes.“Enough about our child; let us talk about you, Rissa Stonebridge”, Adrian sai

    “Is this enough response to your question?” Rissa asked sweetly.She watched Adrian's lingering gaze on her succulent lips.“Didn't know you were a great seductress”, he responded smiling.His worries melted away at the moment.“Didn't know I still have a touch of it”, Rissa responded with a wink.“Don't know why I’m always smitten by the fierce part of you”, Adrian said playfully.They both laughed wholeheartedly, a rich sound of two mesmerizing voices.“I’m still in contact with Liam Hickson; yes, he mistreated me in the past, but he wasn't a bad person to me initially; he was fragile and gullible, but I can assure you I only care about his wellbeing, but nothing romantic”, Rissa said.Adrian made a gesture of understanding by putting his hand on his chest playfully.“Caring about his well-being alone makes me jealous, but I can still live with that. Diane tried to gaslight me with the evidence”, Adrian confessed.“Diane? When? Where?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“She was in the

    Diane bit her lip in regret watching Liam's smug countenance.She had fallen right into his hands, it was glaring he had her cornered.“I was drunk”, she pleaded desperately.“Really! Your diary suggests this was a normal thing for you”, Liam responded nonchalantly.“That was way before we got married, I have been faithful to you!” She shot back at him.Liam scoffed loudly “Is that supposed to make me feel better?” He questioned her bluntly.“I am not trying to persuade you, Liam; I just don't want to fight dirty with you,” Diane responded boldly.“You are one hell of a crazy bitch, do you know that?”Diane didn't respond, she just pouted disapprovingly.She tried to stand up and staggered back feeling lightheaded from the hangover.“You shouldn't have tried to taint Rissa, you deceptive wench!” Liam screamed out angrily.“Did you even try to listen to her? You are here judging me; I only fueled the problem; the decision came from you! Gullible minded coward!”, Diane thundered.Liam

    “I don't like Miss Bernard!” Rissa said, pouting.Adrian just smiled knowingly “Is that jealousy I am sensing?” he questioned playfully.“Didn't you see how she was literally drooling all over you earlier today?” Rissa said, rolling her eyes.“She already said her word was a slip of the tongue, she didn't mean it”, Adrian said defensively.“And you believe that?” Rissa said in a disbelieving tone.Adrian didn't respond, he loved her jealous tone.He was enjoying himself at the moment.“By the way, how did you know his school?” Rissa asked curiously.“Mandy told me, I called her when you weren't picking up my call”Adrian responded as an unsaid pain laced his mesmerizing eyes.“I am sorry, Adrian; I shouldn't have shut you off from your parental rights”, Rissa said apologetically.“It is fine; I wasn't upset, just disappointed; I am glad we sorted it out”, Adrian simply responded.Rissa hugged Adrian lovingly, she busted into tears as she reminisced over the memory of it all.If Adrian

    “Don't you think we should…..”The door opened, cutting Rissa off her word; Amber rushed him; she looked unkempt and uncomposed, and both Adrian and Rissa looked stunned. It took them quite some time to react to her presence.“Mrs Hickson, this is a…..it's a pleasure to see you.. please have a seat”, Adrian offered.“I know all too well that it is not a pleasant meeting, not at a time like this, but I have no choice.” Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, and Rissa moved closer to console her. Even at the most dangerous moments, she had never been this shattered.“Mrs Hickson, what is going on?” Adrian questioned suspiciously.“Liam is being blackmailed”, she said, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.“By Diane?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“Not her; he tells me everything about her moves, but this was an anonymous person.”Rissa felt a pang of stabbing jealousy at Amber's words; Liam hadn't been the type to hide things, unlike Adrian, who was prone to.

    Mandy hugged Caleb for the umpteenth time. She felt herself moved to tears, and it took all of her self-control to hold it back. Caleb was sulking, too; he had really gotten used to Mandy's presence for the few days that her departure was about to leave a void in him.His mother, Rissa, had been quite…..distracted these days that she barely had time for him. Also, his father's business was at a huge turning point; he had been keeping himself company with the numerous video games, but right now, he was getting bored.“Don't worry, pumpkin; I will come to visit soon with a lot of chocolate.” Mandy's reassuring smile did little to cheer him up, he nodded innocently. “Now baby, you wouldn't want Aunty Mandy to miss her flight, will you?” Caleb nodded in affirmation and shifted back into Rissa's embrace. He kept waving goodbye till she was out of his view.Rissa's eyes were glued to Mandy's departure, she felt sad but also was happy that nothing negative had happened during her stay in Lo

    Rissa felt her cheeks heating up; she opened her eyes slightly as Adrian kissed her lips gently. It feels great every time, she thought inwardly. She wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug, pouting innocently. He looked into her eyes and laughed heartily. Rissa Stonebridge sure is full of surprises.“I got you some gifts”, Adrian said with a charming smile plastered on his face.Rissa disentangled herself from him; her eyes shot up; what was the occasion? It wasn't even her birthday. She turned her head to her bedside and saw a crowded bunch of wrapped gifts, Just looking at them from a distance, she knew he must have spent a fortune.“What is the occasion, Mr. CEO?” she said teasingly.“Nothing special; I just achieved my aim of seeing a sweet smile on my girlfriend’s cute face,” he said, squeezing her cheeks playfully. Rissa rolled her eyes and laughed “I am everything but cute! Nah, I am way past that, thanks to being thirty”.He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks; Adrian

    Mandy waved enthusiastically and Caleb rushed into her arms. They both couldn't contain their joy; she hadn't had a video call with him in weeks, and it felt like years; she almost got thrown on her back by his huge hug. Rissa walked up to her smiling pleasantly.“Caleb is all grown; I almost fell on my butt from his hug.”Caleb laughed as he disentangled himself from her. Rissa hugged Mandy, too, and kept on blabbing about the jet lag and how she was craving a cold shower and some home-cooked meals. She reached into her pocket and handed over a chocolate box to Caleb which he collected enthusiastically.“You have lost a few pounds, Mandy. Have lectures been stressful?” Rissa questioned worriedly.“Very stressful, but I love it, it keeps me on my toes, and I only have one more year to endure the hard part.”Rissa nodded in understanding and they all walked out of the airport beaming with smiles. Mandy had called her three days back to inform her about her return to Los Angeles for a f

    Diane kept gulping down more wine; she was beyond drunk, her face was swollen, and her lips were plump. She smiled inwardly as she listened in on her Bluetooth headphones. The soft moans, her mind drifting off to its imagination, parted her legs slightly and inserted two fingers into her core.The moans intensified, and so did the thrusting of her fingers; she heard the male groan, and her senses flew up; she felt the shift in power and his vigorous thrusts on the female; she felt herself reaching her peak and let out a soft moan before withdrawing her hands.Diane felt herself weakened on the sofa, her juice flowing out freely from between her legs, she smiled satisfactorily. She hadn't had the time to do that in the two months since she arrived in Los Angeles.“Can we do this a few more times?”“Don't you dare dream!”She heard the words and laughed hysterically, Rosa hadn't been aware of the bug in the car, but Diane knew she couldn't trust anyone.

    Everything else was grand except that the plan itself was fruitless; Adrian's eyes scanned the report on his table; he held up his head with his left hand and ruffled his hair. Confusion set about in his countenance; how could their brilliant idea go down the drain like that?Perchy Peach developed a new marketing strategy and product packaging, and within two days, the internet was filled up with negative reviews of it. He had tested it out privately, and nothing seemed to be out of place, but some people seemed to be hell-bent on tarnishing their image.His phone rang loudly, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it; he picked it up instantly, and Rissa's voice came through. Caleb was reported to be ill from school, and she had to rush out of the office to get him to the hospital.Fear gripped Adrian, was this coincidental? He knew Diane was going to come for him and Rissa, but he desperately hoped for her own good that Caleb wasn't gravely ill due to one of her mischi

    Winter sure was as expected; Mr. George walked out of the prison yard smiling pleasantly; a few weeks ago, she had promised to help him out; he didn't know she had such influence; two days earlier, his parole was granted without any hassle.He waved his hand excessively the moment he sighted her standing beside a luxurious car he hadn't come across before, his eyes shone in admiration of the car and the stunning owner.“Congratulations”, she said nonchalantly as he approached.“Thank you”.They got into the car and drove off instantly; Diane alighted in front of the restaurant opposite Perchy Peach; she put on her sunglasses and curvy hat, a perfect disguise for someone who had been presumed dead.Mr George didn't ask any questions; he had done his research on her secretly. She was supposed to be dead, burnt beyond recognition, but he didn't care how she survived as long as she could be an instrument in his revenge.“I got you a place and job”.She said, sipping on her coffee; the re

    “You have a visitor”.Mr George turned and eyed the warder maliciously, he looked tired and haggard from the day’s strenuous activities now he had distracted his nap time. He wondered who his visitor could be but he couldn't wrap his head around it, his girlfriend had stopped visiting two months after his verdict had been stamped, his aged parents despised him a lot now, they were devoted Catholic, how could a child of theirs commit such great atrocities.“Who?” He questioned casually.“Get your ass up, inmate 7505; I am busy”.Mr George rose and yawned lazily; he silently hoped Liam or Adrian hadn't come seeking him for some kind of forgiveness; he laughed hysterically at the thought of that. He braces himself ready to dive into whatever lies ahead of him.The door flung open, and he walked out; he eyed the keys in the warder’s hand; if it had been the only key to get him out of the whole prison, he would have stolen it and absconded.“Aren't you going?
