It's been weeks but Amanda still couldn't get over her emotional turmoil. Ever since she saw Melanie, she couldn't help but think about how she had BETRAYED her. Melanie was someone she loved the most, someone she confided in. If she could easily betray her then she wouldn't think twice before doing worse. She thought about her mom and the secrets she had long hidden from her. She thought about Mr Finn who turned out to be her biological father.Her mind drifted to Adrian and Carl. She wouldn't forget Adrian's intent of approaching her because of the bet he made with his friends.Why does everyone treat her in this manner? She has done nothing wrong to deserve this.Her phone vibrated as it chimed incessantly on the table. Amanda sighed as she stared at the caller ID.“Carl,” She whispered and sighed. She didn't want to pick it at first but when the phone kept ringing, she forced herself to pick it.“Hi, Amanda. It's me, Carl. Please, I'd love to see you. Where are you?” Carl asked,
Just as they always say, there will always be a first time for everything and everyone. Maybe this was it for me….For an incoming freshman like herself, going to her first frat party felt somewhat like a rite of passage to Amanda Greyson. She was excited anyway because she had that feeling of already surviving the entire syllabus week, and now considered it a high time to feel out the party scene. It would not be so bad to enjoy herself, would it?Just three months ago, Amanda had celebrated her 18th birthday and was now officially an adult. She was no longer the mommy’s girl she always was, and she didn’t even want to keep being that. Although she still considered herself a good girl, she believed she warranted a little more independence. While she was away from home, she remained under her mom’s control and dictates, never being free to go where she liked or do as she pleased.If she were to be honest, the last few semesters spent in college had being completely immersed in her st
Amanda thought that the motorcycles would crash into themselves almost every second as they turned in circles with the other bikes. Massive flags fluttered from the bikes, and each rider’s face was hidden behind their helmet. The roar of the bike’s engine haunted the large building as the headlights flashed right into Amanda’s teary face, blinding her and causing her to squint.The engine gave out a magnetic roar and the ugly screech of the tyres against the asphalt left behind bold tyre marks on the floor.The three huge bikes trapping decelerated and the rev of their engines rattled Amanda to her bones.Three cool guys got off their bikes before removing their helmet and swaying their neck so their ruffled hair could fall freely. Amanda’s gaze fell on one in the middle with strikingly cool features, like a model. His chiseled jawline was carefully sculpted, and his deep brown spiky hair spread across his face, dancing in the wind and slightly hiding his emerald eyes. Each of them w
“Wake up, sleepyhead! Knowing the scene I made at a party yesterday while intoxicated would keep me up much beyond midnight if I were you.” Melanie said, opening the curtains and the rays from the morning sun seeped through the room, causing Amanda to squint. She sat up on the bed, yawning, with her mouth wide open. She stretched in satisfaction as her consciousness cleared. Disoriented, she looked around, her eyes adjusting to the bright light.she ruffled her messy hair and plopped down on the bed. “What do you mean? And how did I end up in your room?” She asked drowsily, her brows raising in bewilderment as she tried to recollect the events that had happened the night before.Melanie stopped whatever she was doing to sit beside her on the bed. She crossed her arm and shook her head with pity as she stared at Amanda, who was trying so hard to recollect everything that had happened.“Wait.. I remembered we were at the party last night. I got drunk and…” Amanda said and paused with
WILD HOGS MOTORCYCLE CLUB.President, (Mr Finn)Vice president. (Carl)Enforcer. (Mason)Sergeant at arms. (Henry)Secretary (Jade)Assistant secretary (Taylor)Treasurer. (Roger)Assistant Treasurer. (Kate)Road captain (Marco)And Other members………Mild laughter, chatters, and chuckles burst from the Wild Hogs clubhouse. Blaring rock music with strong beats spilled the enormous club, pulsating the throbbing energy that radiated from within, and some members danced in pairs with drinks in hand.Outside, a majority of motorcycles were parked, painted in various colors. One member, Jayden, is a neat freak who is completely smitten with his bike, so he busied himself cleaning it.Another member, Raymond, occupied himself with drawing a woman who was posing in a corner. She had tattoos covering her neck, and her jet black hair had a hint of green at the side. With eager eyes, she observed Raymond sketching her, her emerald eyes penetrating his.Justin, a new member, was busy with drawing
Carl placed his hands on the wall, pinning her to his center. She steadied her breathing, trying hard to keep calm.“I promise to fix your phone. I juggle schooling with a part-time job. I’ll make sure I take several jobs and shifts just to pay back for the damage I caused to your phone. Please.” She pleaded while Carl shifted his gaze to her cherry heart-shaped lips, a smirk pulling at the corners of his lip.He could still remember how she pulled him and planted a kiss on him. Those soft lips of hers. They were like magic. How can a nerd like her taste so delightful and heavenly at the same time?His gaze lingered on hers, and she could feel a bead of sweat trickling down her spine. The air became heavy like lead and she held her breath, her heart pounding crazily like a tsunami. His musky, scented cologne was so strong and it filled her lungs as they stood within the radius of a handshake. Placing his hands on hers on the wall, she could feel those soothing warmth and she silentl
ASPHALT WARRIORS MOTORCYCLE CLUB.President, (Mr Sam)Vice president. (Adrian)Enforcer. (Craig)Sergeant at arms. (Jasper)Secretary (Hilary)Assistant secretary (Piper)Treasurer. (Chase)Assistant Treasurer. (Orland)Road captain (Andrew)And Other members………Blaring music echoed in the lively clubhouse. The members of the Asphalt warriors MC were having the time of their life, celebrating their president's birthday in a grand style. In the center of the clubhouse was a massive cake on a table, and most of the members took turns taking a slice of cake. While some of them danced to the music, others chatted dirty and fondled themselves while lounging on the sofa.. Piper, a Blondie with numerous piercings and rings on her face, stood at a corner, making barbecues. Another table was set up on the opposite end of the clubhouse, and a bunch of people played beer Pong. The robust disc jockey busied himself with playing several pieces of music, with his mouth moving as he chewed the c
“Hey! Get your hands off her!” Adrian growled as he approached them with furrowed brows. He glared at Jade whose hands were still fisted in Amanda's blonde hair. She let go immediately, while Adrian stepped in with a stern expression on his face. Her eyes widened since she had no idea Adrian had been watching her bully Amanda. Jade's heart thrummed frantically against her ribcage and she pondered on how long he’s been watching her bully Amanda.“Don't you dare touch her!” He warned, pointing a finger at Jade, whose eyes were full of hate for Amanda. Jade scowled, attempting to appear innocent, but Adrian was not fooled. He knew they were attacking her, and he's positive it was because of a male. Bitches like these can only fight and attack a lady when their lover has made moves on her. Perhaps Carl had his eyes on Amanda, which made them upset and convinced them that they could show their hostility against her by bullying her.“Are you alright?” Adrian asked as he turned to face Ama

Amanda returned late that evening in a drunken state. After her encounter with Mr. Finn, she had gone to a bar to drink and to drown her sorrows and forget, if only for a little while. After leaving the bar, she boarded a cab down to the hostel.Her body reeked of alcohol. She couldn't even recollect the number of drinks she consumed. All she knew was that she kept drinking and ordering for more drinks. Ding dong! She pressed the doorbell and leaned against the wall, her mind reeling from the conversation she made with Mr. Finn earlier today. The door opened after a while. Charlotte was so excited to see her. She scrunched her face and creased her brows when she realised that Amanda reeked of alcohol. “Have you been drinking again?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Amanda smiled briefly as she walked in, her steps controlled. She squinted as the bright light of the TV pierced through her hungover haze, making her head throb in protest. She had just returned from a diml
Mr Finn stood dazed, stupefied and speechless as Amanda's questions hung heavily in the air. It was as if she was directly attacking him because she knew something wasn't right. Or maybe, she was starting to suspect something. Or worse, she found out the truth that he was her biological father. Mr. Finn swallowed the lump in his throat and exhaled deeply. He took a step forward, his bluish eyes piercing into hers.Nodding, he replies, “I don't know what it is you're trying to ask, Amanda. I don't understand why you're also trying to prove or ask a lot of questions about me? It's just kinda strange because it's the first time you're talking to me and seeing you ask me these questions feels off. Is there something you probably want to tell me?”Mr Finn questioned, his lips thinning as he awaited her response. Amanda went mute as she contemplated whether to reveal the truth to him or not. Whether to tell him about the past…Silence hung in the air, sharp and suffocating.Amanda gulped do
“Wow! I'm so so, speechless..” Charlotte exclaimed, her face flushed from shock. Charlotte's expression changed from shock to concern as she processed the revelation. "Amanda, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. How are you handling this?"Amanda shook her head, feeling a mix of emotions. "I don't know, Charlotte. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It's like my whole life has been turned upside down."Charlotte nodded empathetically. "We'll figure this out together, okay?”She wrapped her arms around her knees, her brows snapping together as she thought of something to ask.Adjusting herself on the bed, Charlotte asked, “But first, tell me everything. What happened with your mom? How did your mom get to meet Mr. Finn? What were the challenges they were facing that made her leave him? And you mentioned that he was a notorious biker back then so being with him might be complex right?”Amanda nodded and replied, “My mom is from a religious background. Getting pregnant with Finn's chil
After a day~Overwhelmed by betrayal and heartbreak, Amanda sought solitude and distanced herself from everyone. She reflected on her painful past, including Ryan’s betrayals, Adrian’s deceit, Carl’s infidelity, and the difficult childhood she endured, including her mother’s harsh treatment and her father’s abandonment. She also mourned the betrayal of her best friend, Melanie. After swelling down several glasses of whiskey, she got on her feet, her face etched with determination.She had just one plan— Return back to college to meet Charlotte. She had thought that staying here would help her get over her worries but it just seemed to cause more emotional turmoil for her..“Do you need more drinks, beautiful?” The handsome slender bartender who was behind the counter asked as he winked at her.There wasn't a single trace of smile on Amanda's face. She gave him a bored look and shook her head in response.As she was about to leave, he grabbed her hand gently behind her, causing her to
Amanda diced the carrots slowly, her mind racing with several thoughts. Just when she thought she could get some rest and escape from her worries by spending vacation at home, it seems everything just got worse and more complicated.The thought of Mr. Finn being her father made her angry, frustrated, sad and anxious. Never in her life had she thought something like this would happen. Mr. Finn is the president of Wild Hogs for Christ's sake. He's also a leader and a close friend to Carl. She can't even imagine facing him and exchanging words with him after learning the entire truth. But one thing is certain — she hates him.Amanda continues dicing the Carrot, lost in thoughts. She winced, her face scrunched into a grimace as she ended up cutting herself.She raised her thumb which had blood seeping from the cut.“Fuck!” She hissed as she threw the knife into the zinc. She stopped whatever she was doing and applied pressure on her wound with a paper towel She raised her finger for a fe
The room remained silent, with all eyes fixed on Adrian and Mr. Sam. Tension hung heavily in the air, and it seemed that Adrian's reaction had caused sudden outburst in the club. Mr Sam dragged on his cigarette as he sprang to his feet. He walked up to Adrian and said, “You can't just waltz in here and question my leadership, Adrian. You have no right to question whatever I do.” He repeated, his voice dripping with venom.Adrian stood his ground, his eyes locked on Mr. Sam. "Of course I have every fucking right, Mr. Sam. I have every right when it comes to Amanda. You're using an innocent girl like her just to gain control. And what if she's Mr. Finn's daughter?! What if she is? You have no fucking right to do what you did!!”The room erupted into chaos, with some members siding with Adrian and others defending Mr. Sam. The air was thick with tension, and it seemed that the club was on the brink of imploding.Adrian's eyes scanned the room, taking in the faces of his brothers. He h
Adrian dialed Amanda's number for the umpteen. time but it wasn't going through. He hissed in frustration before banging his fist on the wall. Exhaling deeply, he shoved his fingers into his crew cut,his back resting against the wall. His butt landed on the floor as a feeling of despair gnawed at him.“I never knew this would happen…” He mumbled, his face etched with regret as he stole a glance at his reflection in the mirror He squared his shoulders and fixed his gaze at his knuckles which were starting to bleed. He had been punching the wall out of frustration each time his attempt to get her response failed.“I love you, Amanda. I really do.. I know I approached you because of a bet .But everything changed when I got to know you. You're an incredible person, and I fell deeply in love with you. I was wrong to start things with a bet, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right and prove my love to you.”. Adrian spoke, his voice filled with determination.His gaze fell
“What is that, Amanda?” Sabrina, her mother, asked, her face imprinted with concern. She trudged towards her, dropping the knitted cloth in her hand on the sofa. Mia, whose attention was on the movie she was watching, paused to look at them when she noticed something was wrong. She sprang to her feet, her eyes holding a hint of concern.“What is it, Amanda?” She asked.Amanda's eyes widened as she stared at the paper, her mind racing with questions. "Mom, what does this mean?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly as her gaze drifted to Sabrina.Sabrina's face had turned pale, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "I...I don't know, Amanda," she stammered. "I have no idea who could have sent this or why."“Let me have a look at it. What does it say?” Sabrina mumbled as she took the paper from her.She swallowed the lump in her throat as she read the content.Amanda's eyes scanned the paper again, her heart sinking as she read between the lines: "Mr. Finn, President of
