TALIA'S POVI sit on my chair close to my bed with my eyes closed and legs crossed.Glass of wine in hand, my thoughts drift off.Since the incident some weeks ago at the public restaurant with Jayson's new interest, I've actually being low key, not wanting to attract any attention as I've not being in bars, clubs or my usual hang out spots.Well, I've been planning my next move.The door to my dimly lit bedroom opens and Ivy walks in."Hey cunt, why are you still chilling alone? Come out let's go have fun." She says coming to sit beside me on my bed.My close ally and bitch, she's the one I can rely on for any of my moves alongside my gang.Making herself at home already, she takes the wine bottle and sips straight from it without even looking for a glass cup.I scoffs and watch as she presses away at her phone and I finally ask her coldly, "Did you get everything." "Yeah of course, don't you trust me." She replies."Well give me the deets, everything, I don't want any important thi
CHERRY'S POVA Week Later It's being a week now and a great one at that.Jayson is slowly interjecting himself in my life and he is also a pain in the ass I wont lie.Now, I, Jeanne and him are currently seated on the dining talking and eating butter cake, I made and some fresh orange juice.Although Jayson is through eating, he suddenly keeps mum and stops talking, and I don't want to disturb him, but I can sense he's up to something but I don't make mention of it as I and Jeanne continue talking.I look at him and he gives me a silly mischievous smile and I scoff and continue eating and I don't even take note of how it happened, but the next thing I see is Jayson swiftly taking my last piece of remaining cake and placing it on his plate."Hey." I call out, but he stands up and makes a dash for the living room and I follow him in hot pursuit as I hear Jeanne laughing behind us.He takes me round all the chairs in the sitting room, cutting the cake and munching it slowly and I become
JAYSON'S POVI stand outside the house dressed in a casual beach outfit of blue shorts and a grey vest with a silver neck chain, looking chic.I check my wristwatch, wondering what's keeping her late.I just hope everything I've planned today works out and doesn't flop.I bring out my phone, and start pressing in bid to pass of time, when I hear, "Sorry, I kept you waiting." Looking up, I get blinded in a gorgeous light in human form.Oh my fucking goodness! I exclaim silently, she looks so beautiful, she’s the prettiest lady I've ever seen, and that's not just a statement, no one comes close.She's putting on a slimy singlet top, and a short skirt alongside a flowery scarf tied round her waist, and fuck! If she doesn't look so sexy."Hey, I'm here already, why are you staring at me like that?" I hear her ask and I snap out of my indecent thoughts."Um, nothing, you just look so sexy and pretty." I compliment her and I watch as she flushes, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red and I
TALIA'S POVI pack my car beside a massive building, at the address Ivy gave to me.So this is where, billionaire Cherry lives. Wow! Just wow! She's this rich and still trying to snatch my man. What a nerve!Well, that's the least of my concern now, I don't care about how rich or wealthy she is, I' just here to kill her and leave quietly.Walking in, I press the button as the little door by the electric gate opens, and I see a man standing outside, security I guess, but I'll get last him, ice already planned my words and everything I'm going to say."Hello." I greet waving at him and smiling sexily, bit that it's going to help me in this case, but that's what I've got at least for now."Yes ma'am, how may I help you?""I'm here to see Cherry. I'm her friend huh." I reply innocently smiling and make a show of checking my pockets, to avoid him seeing my eyes and maybe spotting my lies."Oh, okay ma'am. When you get to the entrance just knock quietly, you'll be attended to." He says and
CHERRY'S POVI cover my mouth with my palms.Currently, I'm numb, I don't know what to say, do or how to even react.Oh my God! Is this a dream? I ask myself as I close and open my eyes countless times.Yes, this must be a dream. This can't be real, this must be something out of a movie because I still can't believe that Jayson, my childhood friend, the one who has owned my heart since forever, is on his knees in front of me, asking me to marry him.His piercing blue eyes, stare into mine and I can see the silent plea for me to say yes, and I just stand like a statue.Finally, a tear escapes from my eyes, and I wipe it of immediately, "Oh my! Jayson... Oh.. Oh Jayson, yes I'll marry you." I say excitedly and he takes my hands in his, and slides the glittering diamond ring on my engagement ring finger.The ring fits perfectly fine, and I wonder because he didn't tell me about this or measure my finger and I'm amazed at how it doesn't feel too big or tight for me, no need for me to resi
(SEMI FINAL)JAYSON'S POVShe fires the shot, the gun pointed straight at me, and I close my eyes waiting for the bullet to hit me, but nothing does.I'm numb, as I wait for the sharp bullet to pierce into my skin, but nothing does and that's when I hear the noise.Cherry's scream and that's when I realize what just happened, as I open my eyes and come to see the shock of my life.I see Cherry in a pool of her blood her flowery scarf, filled with blood that's currently spilling out."No!" I scream, tuning the world out as I fall to my knees helplessly besides her, cradling her stained and limp body in my arms."Cherry, please don’t go, don't leave me." I beg, shaking her furiously praying for a miracle to happen, and that's when I hear Talia's voice behind me.I'm so going to kill her today, I think my eyes turning red, "Well, she's such a beautiful defender, all in the name of love. I intended killing you dick, but she saved you, or I dont know if my hand shifted and mistakenly it hi
I still don't believe what the doctor said, even as Jeanne continues crying and I grip him by his collar as I ask again, "Tell me this is all a joke, and you are just playing with me.""This is a matter of life and death, I can't joke about it, I'm really sorry for your loss. Take heart and be strong man." He says and gently removing my arms from his collar, he pats me slowly on the back and walks away, and that's when it dawns on me.I fall to my knees beside Jeanne and sob uncontrollably like a baby, all the pent up anger, emotions and every other thing I had bottled up, from earlier on trying to be strong enough, comes crashing down."Arggh!" I scream as the door to the operating room opens and some nurses roll up a body wrapped in white clothing, and I know that it is my Cherry in there.I stand up weakly and watch as the nurses brings her to a stop at my side, and hands shaking I open the sheets and see her.She's so cold, in peace and so limp, still looking beautiful as all the
JAYSON'S POV"Doctor, please how is she? What happened? Was the surgery successful?" I ask, my mind beating as I wait to hear his response."She's safe." The doctor says and moves to leave but I stop him with a strong grip on his shoulders."What do you mean she's safe. Talk to me, to us, tell us how my wife is faring?" I ask him frantically."She's safe man, she's lucky to have being brought in on time, if she had being brought in a minute later, she would have bled to death, but not to worry she's fine. We removed the bullet and right now she's currently being transfused with some blood and multivitamins to make up for the one she lost. Congratulations, your wife is fine." The Doctor says and I sigh in relief, as Jeanne who was busy tapping her feets and crying finally stops and starts laughing."Have a good day." That said the Doctor walks away and Jeanne comes and hug me sighing in relief."Oh God, Jayson, I was so scared. I thought we were going to loose her." She says and starts
