Carl wouldn’t deny that he felt jealous when he sighted Adrian hitting on Amanda back there at the party. What turned out to be a final straw was when he sighted them heading towards a room to screw each other. He had gotten enraged, wanting to stop them when Mason intervened.“F**k!” He growled as he banged his fist on the wall, his face mixed with a mixture of impotent fury. It was early Monday morning, and they were back at the clubhouse. He had spent all night brooding and thinking about Amanda and he even failed to attend lectures because he was still clearly upset with what happened at the party.The clubhouse was a little empty, with few customers dining and drinking at the pub.. The rest had gone for lectures while some hung around in town first before gathering at the clubhouse for their daily training.“I know how upset you are, but you just have to get over it, Carl. She is clearly in love with Adrian, and she’s his new girlfriend.” Mason said as he approached Carl and hand
Carl tightened his grasp on Amanda's wrist. She attempted to extricate herself from his grip, but her efforts were futile because he was much stronger than her. "What do you want, Carl?" She shrieked at him through gnashed teeth, her brow furrowing with fury etched on her features. Carl drew her to the wall, his sharp Emerald eyes penetrating the depths of her being. Amanda swallowed the massive knot in her throat, her heart pounding furiously against her ribcage. Carl nuzzled her, inhaling her smell. He leaned closer, placing his hands against hers on the wall before kissing her neck and chest.Amanda bit her lips, hoping to restrain herself from moaning. When she thought about Adrian and her relationship with him as his new girlfriend, she mustered all the strength she had left and pushed Carl off her.“I told you to stop treating me like one of your fuckbuddies all because I'm working here!” She snapped at him, her voice raising an octave higher.Carl wiped his mouth with the b
Amanda paid for Carl's phone to be repaired, and even though he had declined to take the cash from her, she gave it to Mason so she wouldn't have anything to do with them. She stepped out of the clubhouse and as Carl was about to approach her, Mason stopped him.“Let her be, Carl. She clearly doesn't wanna have anything to do with you!” Mason mumbled, and it took a lot of control before Carl could listen to him. Amanda was able to borrow the money for the repair from Charlotte. When she eventually paid it, she felt a profound sense of relief wash over her but at the same time, she wouldn't stop thinking about Carl.She couldn't get her mind off him. It's like he's consumed every corner of her mind.Her heart became heavy as several emotions overwhelmed her. Chills raced through her spine in bursts with her finger cramping. The sun was blanketing everything on earth with its rays but she couldn't feel it. The air was heavy, it felt like lead. Sweat coated her palms and she clenched her
BEACH PARTY ~Melanie, Amanda and Charlotte all drove to the beach in Melanie’s sedan car. It’s a new car her boyfriend, Frank, had gotten for her. With a rush of excitement on their faces, they flew their gazes across every faces on the beach. Darkness loomed around with shadows lengthening outside. The only source of light was the moon, the stars in the dark sky. Fairy lights glistened on the small stage which was centred on the beach.The scent of alcohols hung heavily in the air with noises in the background. The celebrant, Roselyn, stood at a far end, welcoming guests and friends. She’s a famous icon in college and also the Dean’s daughter, hence, her renowned reputation.Amanda and her friends alighted from Melanie’s sedan, looking all stunning in each of their unique outfits.Amanda was in a finely woven knit dress, a straw hat and a pair of espadrilles. Charlotte was in a halter top to a pair with a slinky skirt, while Melanie was in a bikini. They walked gracefully, their ha
Charlotte's heart broke into a thousand pieces at the sight of Oliver engaging in a passionate kiss with some other lady. What hurts the most was the fact that the lady was someone from the Asphalt warriors team and also a friend of Hilary.The loud music boomed in the background, a splash of happiness lingering in the air as people grooved to it.Charlotte sobbed, her heart heavy as a wave of emotions crashed over her.“Fuck! you're so sweet, Paige,” Oliver moaned as their tongues crashed and fought for dominance. They exchanged saliva as they kissed, the world fucking melting in the background. They were so lost in their intimacy that they failed to notice Amanda and Charlotte standing in front of them.Oliver hurriedly reached for his belt, eager to unbuckle it while Paige broke the kiss and sat upright with her legs wide apart, eager to let him have a taste of her.She smiled, her eyes flashing with admiration as she gazed at his studded muscle.“O- li- ver!” Charlotte mumbled, h
“Charlotte, watch out!” Mason yelled as he approached her with quick steps, veins loaded in his neck. A whirlwind of emotions overwhelmed Charlotte, and she didn’t notice the oncoming vehicle. Her heart rose and fell with tears trickling down her cheeks.The blaring sounds of the car horns pierced the silence. Though trucks sped down the street with their headlights illuminating it, Charlotte remained absorbed in her grief and ignored them.Lost in her own thoughts, she stepped on the asphalt, ignoring the blaring sounds of the cars and oncoming vehicles.Before she could take a step forward, Mason grasped her wrist and pulled her backwards. Because of the pull, they lost their balance and fell on top of each other, their faces an inch apart.Charlotte’s breath hitched when she realised she was on top of Mason.“Wh- why did you do that, Mason?” Charlotte asked, jabbing his chest continuously with her fist.Mason scrunched his face, and grasped her wrist, pulling her towards him once a
The Wild Hogs team were preparing for the bike race competition, which would take place the next day. Carl had tried so hard to keep himself engaged, but Amanda seemed to have consumed every corner of his mind. While the club members engaged in a mini bike race, Carl reclined on his chair and took several shots of his vodka.Mr. Finn stood on the terrain with his arms akimbo as he watched his members engaged in a bike race. Carl didn’t join the race. He hadn’t been himself for days. He recalled countless attempts to reach Amanda by phone, but she always refused to answer. In a fit of rage, he smashed his empty bottle against the wall.Mason walked up to him, and his eyes went wide as he shifted his gaze to the shattered glass. “Yo; you need to calm down, Carl. Don’t tell me you’re still upset because Amanda chose Adrian over you…You really need to let her go..”Mason said, taking a seat beside him.“I can’t.. it’s fucking hard and I can’t stop thinking about her…I’ve never been so o
Carl traces a finger over Amanda’s lips and leans in, so close that she could feel his breath against her mouth. Her heart pounded rapidly against her ribcage as his emerald eyes hovered over her features. A fiery spark ignited between them. Amanda’s lips remained sealed, and she shut her eyes as he brought his face closer to her–an inch apart.Carl whispered in her ears, “What do you say, Amanda? If I win against Adrian at the contest, will you give me the chance to prove my love to you?” Amanda’s jaw tightened, her tongue remained tied, betraying her lack of response to his question.“I take that as a yes, Amanda.” Carl spoke and nodded curtly.A faint smile tugged at his lips as he gazed at her love shaped lips. Grazing her bottom lip with his fingers, she shuddered at his sensual touches.“Ca–” She stuttered, his touches amplifying her arousal. Her breath snagged at the intensity of his gaze, and whatever she wanted to say dissolved in the heat of his hands on her skin.Carl lean
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,
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
