The soft morning light filters through the lace curtains, bathing the room in a golden glow. Amanda squinted and opened her eyes fully, adjusting to the bright light. She yawned and turned to the other side. Her gaze fell on Carl's broad chest and she looked up at his alluring face. She stifled a gasp as thoughts of everything they did the night before filled her mind.She sat upright, shoving the blanket over her chest. She stared at her body and it was then she realised she was stark naked. Several emotions overwhelmed her. Guilt gnawed at her chest at the realisation of what she did.She didn't even know how everything happened. It happened just so fast. She got turned on and there was this desperation to have Carl in her last night and there was no way she could resist him after receiving those pleasures from himShe touched her lips, her mind reeling as she processed everything that happened. She felt sore down there, a reminder of the powerful thrusts she received from Carl..Sli
Amanda and Charlotte went to the cafeterias after lectures. Charlotte ordered spaghetti and meatballs while Amanda went for sandwiches and smoothies. They munched quietly, staring into each other's eyes.Melanie slipped classes that day. She's been with Frank since the day they left the grand arena for the bike contest. Amanda and Charlotte had called to know when she'd be returning but there's been so conclusion from her end“I'm sure she's still enjoying her time with Frank. She's definitely not ready to return,” Charlotte muttered with a mouthful of spaghetti. She grasped her fork and twisted the spaghetti before taking another spoonful of it.Amanda smiled sheepishly as she sipped her smoothie.. thoughts of everything she did with Carl still lingers in her mind.. She felt a little embarrassed and couldn't get her mind off it. She still couldn't believe that she confessed her feelings to him and even slept with him.She felt a little uneasy but she tried hard not to think too much.
Amanda's eyes narrowed, her mind racing as Hilary's words resounded in her ears."What do you mean?" she asked curiously, trying to keep her tone neutral.Hilary's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with amusement. She shoved her finger into her blonde hair and gave it a twirl.Her lips twitched in a lopsided smile "Oh, come on, Amanda. You're not that naive, are you? Don’t tell me you think Adrian is as perfect as he seems?” She said, her voice tinged with mockery.Amanda's brows knitted as she tried to comprehend her statement. She felt a shiver run down her spine as Hilary's words struck a chord. She knew she was Adrian's ex-girlfriend and it was possible for her to say things that aren't true just to cause enmity between them and perhaps, destroy their relationship."What are you talking about?" Amanda asked, her voice firm but her heart racing with anticipation.Hilary leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "I'm talking about his reputation, Amanda. Adrian's not
Charlotte stood on her spot, curious to know what she meant.. Curious to know why she said Mason can't be with someone like her."...You're just a pawn in Mason's game, Charlotte. He's using you to get back at Oliver, and you're too blind to see it," Paige sneered, her eyes flashing with malice.Charlotte's face reddened with anger, but before she could respond, Amanda intervened."Let's just go, Charlotte. We don't need to waste our time on her," Amanda said, tugging Charlotte's arm.But Charlotte stood her ground, her eyes locked on Paige. "I'm not afraid of you, Paige. And I'm definitely not afraid of what you think about my relationship with Mason."Paige snorted. "We'll see about that. You just wait and see how long Mason sticks around once he's gotten what he wants from you."Charlotte's eyes narrowed, but she didn't take the bait. Instead, she turned and walked away, Amanda by her side.As they left Paige behind, Amanda turned to Charlotte and asked, "Are you okay?"Charlotte no
Charlotte couldn't shake off the feeling that Paige's words had planted in her mind. Was Mason really using her to get back at Oliver?As she walked, Amanda fell into step beside her. "Hey, are you okay?" Amanda asked, concern etched on her face.Charlotte nodded, trying to brush off her doubts. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just angry."Amanda squeezed her arm. "Don't let Paige get to you. She's just jealous."But Charlotte couldn't shake off the feeling that Paige had spoken the truth. She needed to talk to Mason, to clear the air and find out what was really going on.“Just forget everything she said. It's not helpful. She's only saying those things to get you worried..”“I know but I have to see Mason. Will you follow me to the Wild Hogs Motorcycle club?” Charlotte asked, staring at Amanda whose lips conformed into a thin lineShe recalled the last time she stepped her feet into the club..she could recall her experience there— How angry she was when Carl was being so controlling.Although she
Amanda had been brooding since she received that message from Hilary. She had gone to meet Adrian, hoping to understand his intent to be in a relationship with her. Although she had approached him in a friend's manner regarding it, Adrian suspected that she was starting to get suspicious. He knew he got close to her because of the bet he made with Craig but he had fallen in love with her along the way.He got to realise that he was interested in her…he saw that she was different from other girls and he was willing to keep her by his side .Her beautiful blonde hair, smooth white skin and innocent bluish doe eyes were features of her that he loved the most. “Since we became friends…” Adrian mumbled, a forced smile tugged at his lips as he leaned against the wall, his eyes fixed on her curious face.“I found out you're someone special and I see you differently from every other girl. I wanted to stop seeing you at one point but I found it impossible…” Adrian said, gulping his drink. Alt
“I'll continue with my lectures but Carl, I won't tolerate any distractions and side talks.” The middle aged professor warned, his tone serious..Carl nodded, his lips thinning as he watched the man spun around to face the board.“Why did you show up here?” Amanda asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“Because I've been so eager to see you..” Carl whispered, placing his hand over hers.He stole a glance at the ladies who were secretly taking pictures of them. Carl would often smile and even pose for the camera while Amanda kept her face hidden even after failed attempts.“Carl…” She called but suddenly went silent when the professor turned in her direction.“Yes, babe..” Carl replied, cocking his thick brows.“You didn't tell me you were gonna do this.” Amanda muttered, a slight disappointment in her features.“Because it's a surprise,” Carl whispered and nibbled his lips when the professor turned around again, his prying eyes scanning everyone's faces.A lady nudged her friend who
The air cackled with tension and an unsettling feeling lingered as Carl and Adrian prepared to compete in the bike race. Adrian shot Carl a glare, his face etched with determination.Carl smirked as he wore his helmet before mounting his bike. He leaned forward and grabbed the handlebar. Adrian mounted his bike and turned on the ignition, while the bike roared to life, sending chills down Amanda's spineShe had an uneasy feeling about the whole thing. Her instinct warns her that something awful might happen if they move on with the race. She felt bad because they weren't willing to listen to her.. They think she's a prize to be won…Amanda bit her lower lips, her body trembling as she rubbed her clammy hands together, her eyes fixed on both Carl and Adrian who were set to begin the race.Her pleas to stop them fell on deaf ears, and she was forced to watch in horror as the two of them revved their engines to life, rattling through her bones. Beads of sweat trickled down her spine, a hi
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
