CHAPTER SIX. Alice sighed, this cousin of hers was so exhausting.Then she heard something that changed it all.Then I found her car at a garage here, it had her stuff and everything in it along with a mint rose.At this point he own eyes widened."Mint rose?"He nodded as soon her entire demeneur changed at that moment but she tried keeping her tone casual."So..."She began taking out the bike key that she had put in a box" I think i might know where she could be,""Really?"She nodded getting on the bike then she saw him giving her a funny look."What's up with that nasty look?"She asked him squrely and he crossed his hands."You need to wear helmets for safety,"She looked at him like he had just grown an horn on his head."What are we kindergartners?"She went down and grabbed a helmet that was next to her tool box."Here this should fit that big head of yours too,"He caught it with ease but his eyes were still on her."You need one too if you are going to ride behind me, everyon
Drake looked between the two of them as if lasers were about yp shoot out of his eyes. He couldn't believe this girl, after all he did so that she could be with his brother...she had the right to move on like nothing ever happened?Not in a million years, he held out his fist with his fingers so close to his palm that at that moment it only needed a little push to summon blood."You jerks have no right to be happy, especially after what she's done!"He rushed to land the punch on her and then she was about to block it then held her hand back when she saw there was no need to, Drake looked back to see his sister standing behind him, the blonde woman was practically a giant with a bulky body."Drake Anderson,I thought you better than to raise your hand when none has been raised at you,""Big Sis I thought you said i could go alone, why are you here?"She smacked him on the head still holding his hand, "Cause i knew you were taking far too long that meant you were looking for or about t
CHAPTER 8 As Alice drove on the road on full speed she didn't want to think about all the advice she had gotten.How could they expect her to just get over it? These people took Marcus away from her, from his life they had no right to keep on breathing and living theirs at all...she had to end them.Even if it meant her own end.At least then she would finally have some peace in her heart, the peace that had evaded her for over three years.She could finally keep on living again, after she did this. She parked her bike in an alley and covered it with some trash then walked in the back of a underground club and there were bouncers at the back."This is a private club miss,""Tell the blue mouse that the green package is here..."She said with a straight face one of the bouncers scratched his head but the other wasn't as obvious."The boss didn't ask for a package though,"He said with cynical look.She groaned."It's a regular, tell him he'll understand,"With that the bouncer walke
Chapter nine. At that moment it was as if everything was in slow motion for her, maybe she thought for the first time she should have not left the red head there. She had gotten emotional for a moment and just pushed him away for no reason in particular other than the thought that he may slow get down I get mission.Now she hadn't been able to find either Olivia or the people who had taken her and she was about to have her head bashed in by what seem like bricks stuffed in a somewhat normal looking old bag. Just a few hours ago she had gotten on her bike so confidently without even bothering with a helmet and revved on her engine like she was ready to take on the whole world.Her words stung now in her own ears when she thought about it."You can take any cab to get you out of this place, just make sure that it's a cab before you get in, just my personal advice to you,". She had practically left him stranded, he came with a car who knew if he had any money at all on him or if it h
Nick watched with utter shock as his brother walked through the door right after his wife had opened it up."How are all the beautiful people in the building?"He asked the alcohol in his body so strong that Nick could smell it from where he stimood and it got even worst as he marched towards him like an angry elephant stabbing his hand at the open door."Get out,"He growled savagely."Unless you want me to throw you out on your nose you sick basters,""Nick you need to calm down," The two brothers stared at his other dir the longest time and Celine had to pull Nick to a corner in the living room next time a huge flower plant."I know you don't like this...""I don't like this...?"He cut into green words"That, my dear,is the understament of the country...he literally tried to kill you before and he was obsessed with you too!"Celine nodded."Do you think that i have forgotten either?"She cocked her eyebrows after taking a quick glance at her in law when she noticed that Alicia was sha
Chapter Just like that night, he was here again standing like he didn't have a single car in the world.He didn't know what kind of court thought that his brother deserved a second chance in life, he was even a bigger low-life than the trash that had gone to prison. "I don't trust him Celine, not one bit""But you trust me, don't you Nick?" He looked at the person that he was unfortunate enough to call a brother and just sighed."He makes one funny move and he's out of here, Celine..."He said but her eyes were no on him as she pulled him back to join everyone."Just trust me,Nick...please will you just trust me,"By the time that they were back Thomas was already seated and molesting a pillow while *catching* up with his sister."Look at you Alicia, you've put on a little more weight since I last saw you eh?""Thomas, I don't remember inviting you to my party..."She said to him in a calm and cold voice completely not making any reference to his earlier question."Can't I come to
"I just got a text from Jaden,"Pete announced all of a sudden in the living room and everyone gave him puzzled looks that made him feel like slapping himself in the face."He's my daugher's redhead body guard the one that stopped your brat from assaulting her,"He said spearing the Edmund couple a look expecting them to react but before they did homua ex wife spoke."You hired a bodyguard for Olivia, how come that i didn't know about this?"She asked him getting up from the couch as he looked at the text, reading through it, he grabbed his coat."I'm getting the police now,"He said totally ignoring her earlier question."I wouldn't advice ya to burn up your saliva like that, no officer will step..."Thomas tried to speak but he just hissed."And when did I ask for your advice you hobo?"Just then hi ex wife was sp close to him that he could smell her perfume with ease."And i asked you a question, has Olivia been in danger all this while?how come I am just finding about this now..."C
"Excuse you..."Celine said dropping her glass of wine."Didn't your parents teach you how to address those older than you with any respect at all?"Her husband joined in.He just shrugged."How could they?My sperm donor abandoned us when we were just kids and Mom doesn't really get sober enough for stuff like that..."The couple looked so horrified as he spoke."Well?I could see the looks you guys have given me since day one...nothing ...i ever do will be enough huh?!"At this point Nick stood up and Celine followed subconciously carrying her glass of wine along with her as she did."All we have been is civil and Kind to you young man, so don't you dare raise your voice at us in our own house!"His eyes just stared at them like tarpits."Raise my voice, oh i wouldn't even dream of doing so!"He said intentionally raising his bass voice to the highest."How could a poor good for nothing charity case dare raise his worthless voice at you?"The Edmund couple were unsure on how to react to
"I would like to give a cheer,"Jaden looked at the people around him all the creme de la creme in the society coming to his party, he couldn't believe it.It has been over a year now since all that thing went down with Olivia, she was now in a mental hospital for treatment.She was still calling his name everyday that he should visit him, he did occasionally though to see if she had any regret about what she did but she always proud about it all.Alice father had to come alone with his brother Thomas to save his wife sister and her ex husband from the gang members, it had been a close battle that left him with a scar his forehead but it healed the wounds od his marriage.Alicia decides to keep her ex husband company and nursing him back to health consoling him over the state of their daughter and in that process they had become close friends.Was they more to it than that, Celine and Nick would often tease then but they always denied it even though a blind man couldn't miss the look
"Well obviously it's Alice, she's fed up of all od you and hates you for her boyfriends death" The brain was nine right through his teeth and all of them could see it but they all pretended to be oblivious to what was actually happening more concerned with how they were going to be able to get out of the situation he couldn't call the police because he had then searched for their phones and had it taken it away to the open reach out for any sort of help then at this time Olivia was still narrating on her plans for her cousin she watched her slowly with this kind of blissful look on her face as if she was somebody who are getting a new promotion at a job we come to "Jaden…Jaden Jaden Jaden…" She said she tapped the dashboard of the cars as if she was beating a drum voice was getting higher and more pitched. Her eyes began to dart everywhere and also no where at the same time Alice was just looking at her through half closed eyes as she asked herself how she had missed all thitrembl
Celine was on her couch watching a movie with her husband, well actually he was looking at hia phone while they sat far apart and she watched the TV. She wanted to bring up something to break the silence, last nights dinner had been a disaster and for the first time in years she saw her daughter weeping on her shoulder last night."If that isn't love then what can be Nick?"She recalled her voice as she flipped through the channels with little or no actual interest in them as she thought of his response."Celine shut up"In all of their marriage life he has never said those words to her and then out of the blue he had blurted them out and still hadn't truly apologized since then.At that moment her sister in law, Alicia walked in…or more of ran like she and escaped criminal with the police hot on her trail."What are you guys doing haven't you seen the news?""What ne-"As she was speaking Celine saw her daughter on the television screen holding the hand of a man that she cosaid only
"Your father!"Alice nearly jumped out her shoes when she said this turning to her cousin."If there is anyone who would have a clue about who his family is, it has to be him…he hired him after all…"Olivia brought out her phone and she was already whimpering tears streaking down her face as she spoke."I don't know…Dad never told me anything much…what if he doesn't know anything either…what…"Alice took the phone from her cousins trembling hands and dialed the younger female's father."Sir I and Olivia are in the hospital and Jaden just got shot and he needs a blood transplant asap and…and…""Sorry, but do you mind taking some breaths or something? My daughter.."She heard some shuffling sounds like he was moving around and then he said".. Should be in her…room…"She heard the creaking of a door and then he yelled."What?how did she get out?...Olivia!"Alice felt like slamming her head into a wall and immediately called her cousins father attention right back to her."Didn't you hear
"I'm guessing that you'll be wanting Lex back…" Janet's words came to Alice mind as she sped in the road like a mad woman, swerving like a pro as of her and the motor cycle were one, she kept up with this barely able to breath until she arrived back at the Cafe.It was just as she feared about fifteen feet away from her was Jaden.And his shirt was soaked with blood, she saw only that before she was able to see the paramedics that were pulling him away on a stretcher and the crowd that was being bullied away by the police that were talking to a whimpering Olivia.As smooth and powerful as a sudden breeze she swept past the crowd until she was next to him saying that she would ride with him all the way to the hospital, there was no time to argue and the paramedics could see that she wasn't going to budge and let her in.She reached for his hand, holding it tight as she felt her eyes burning like as if they were staring straight into a freshly lit flame."I wasn't on time again…I wasn
Alice settled down as she heard Drake stomping down the stairs but she knew that he would stay close enough to hear whatever they were saying at that moment."What was I saying ?"Janet placed a hand on her short hair stroking it soothingly before she suddenly became animated again."Right, my brother…I suppose I should tell you this so that you will understand truly why his death wasn't your fault…"She paused to look at Alice to makw sure that ahwee had her attention something that was needless to do because with the topic at hand two cars could collide into each other and explode and she wouldn't even be able to blink an eye."You see our parents were not around and as such, we had to make a lot of choices-many which I have chosen to stop regretting because it changes nothing- and Marcus even though I was much older than him was quite protective of me and our brother Drake…""We both worked hard to provide our basic necessities but it was never…ever enough…you see getting wanted to
As they had almost arrived at the cemetery the Taxi driver was still hoping that the girl didn't recognize hi-"Do you remember me?"She asked him before he could even cook up a good story to give her and she shook her head."Don't bother lying to me though I don't just forget faces easily at all so don't worry about that at all…"At this point she could see the visible dropping of sweat down his face and she actually felt a little bad for him at the moment."I'm not going to hurt you or anything I was even going to you know apologize,"" no madam you don't have to apologize for anything I was being inconsiderate that day I should have been more sensible,"" well I wouldn't really blame you all that I blame my reaction I should have been more sensible too there was no way you should have known that I was coming to a cemetery" "I can see this there's something different about you since then you've changed"" I guess I have" he was finally able to turn on the radio and then a song th
"So let me get this right from the start both of you were actually just having a fake relationship so that I would come to realise the feelings that I had with Jaden and didn't and finally have the courage to confess to him?" It was a hot afternoon that day and did Jaden and Alice had come over to meet Olivia at a cafe.Before they arrived Jaden showed her his mothers ring."You want to marry her?"He laughed."No, it's an emerald ring…she got it because it matched my fathers eyes ,"Then his cheeks got red,"..I mean not like I'm not serious..but marriage that's a big step," Olivia had arrived a little late but at least knew when she came because Jaden's eyes were lit up like a lamp in a dark room and she held her cup of coffee fiddling around with it and wondering why she ordered it instead of her usual chocolate it was just that Jaden had also offered to have black coffee and she felt like a kid offering to have chocolate so now she was looking at a cup of black coffee that she wou
Jaden waited for the longest time waiting for her to say the words that she actually approved of them but instead after a long wait she shook her head and his heart fell at the moment." I'm sorry I can't lie to you my family would never approve,"Then he lived closer so much so that he could feel his breath mixing up his house and then he noticed that she shifted back a little bit when this happened and hours away from his completely not even bothering to look at him and his expression at all or even knowing what he was going through that moment." I'm not asking about your family at least I'm asking about you because honestly the only person I'm close to is you at this point," he realised that he got her attention back when she looked at him me she asked even stabbing a finger to her chest like it was the most incredible thing ever for him to even be close to her and he nodded in agreement he had been with the Raymond for a while and even though he admired Olivia he had only ever
