Nica I'mfelt like her whole body froze in her seat when she heard the name of Janice's cousin. He was very persistent that she bluntly told him she did not like him. She was nearly raped by him the time that she went to a night party and she had no idea he was watching and following her. She could not believe she thought he was different from her stepmother and half-sister.
"He's my cousin," Janice explained to Chris even though he did not ask. "And Nica's ex."
Chris noticed Nica grit her teeth and glare at Janice.
"Don't just tell other people about my life, will you?" Nica put on a fake smile. If only they were not in a public place, she could have pulled her hair even if they are in front of her 'boyfriend'.
"Oh, sorry. I just mentioned him because he asked me where I am because he had an important business with me. When I told him I am having a lunch with you, he suddenly wanted to join us." She
CHRISMITH decided to go home, even though his friends was still enjoying the night party. But, before he could arrive at the house, someone that he was not expecting at the moment was calling on his phone."Is there a problem, mom?" Chris worriedly asked his mother.
"Leave us alone first." Alfonso commanded his wife and his first daughter."Honey, don't agree to—""Margaret, this is a serious matter!" Alfonso stopped his wife from speaking.Margaret could not control her husband when he just said her name. She left furiously along with her daughter.Chrismith is just calm and let Nica give him a look of analysation. He secretly smiled when he saw how her reaction changed to a calm one when Janice and her mother went out."Are you really sure with your decision?" Alfonso asked his daughter.Nica did not know what to answer. She suddenly felt scared for herself because she is not ready to have a more complicated and messy life yet. Her mother came to her mind. She does not want to become like her mother, the legal wife, but she was never loved by her father.
"ARE you now happy?" Janice said while laughing about how their parents are arguing."Very happy!" Nica's smile widened."That's certainly just for now, things won't go your way forever! You will end up the same way as your mom!" Janice stated, fearless.Nica's smile turned into a grin as she glared at her half-sister."Don't trust your assumptions yet," Nica smirked. "Who knows, right?""Don't assume that Chrismith will be yours, I know he is just granting his ill father's wish." Janice will not let Nica win the argument."Really?" Nica grinned at Janice. "I'm not as bad as you and your mother, so I will give you a chance to prove that Chrismith loves you."Janice is displeased with what is on Nica's mind."I will give you two weeks to make him fall for you. If you succeed before
JANICE is not used to drinking alcohol that is why she immediately felt tipsy even though she only drank two glasses of wine. She took her phone out of her bag, then checked the call history, it was full of her mom's number. There are many unread messages as well, but she did not bother to read those. Janice has a smile on her face as she dialed Chrismith's number."Hello?" A baritone voice greeted her."I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Janice asked, shy.Chrismith's forehead furrowed. He stared at the phone like he sees the person that he is talking to there. He could hear the background noises and the voice of the woman that he assumes to be drunk."Are you okay?" He asked the lady while fixing the papers he was reading just before. He always brings those papers with him even at home."I'm not." She denied."Where are you?" He worriedly asked Janice as he hears the background noise in that pl
NICA kicked the flat wheel of her car, now she is stuck in an isolated place. "Why do I have to be so unlucky right now!?" She muttered while looking around.She is scared to stop a vehicle passing by because she cannot trust just anyone, who knows what evil plan they might make. She sighed, she thought that this unhappiness is happening because she was happy a while ago. When she remembered her half-sister, the fear she feels turned into anger.Nica quickly grabbed her bag in the front seat of the car and look for Chris' calling card. She knows that her half-sister will go to Chris' place, so she has a reason to disturb them."Can you help me?" Janice requested to the young man.Chris scratched his nape when he saw that Janice is having trouble taking off her blazer. Her hands seemed to lack strength to pull it off her arms. He had no choice but to stand up an
