Lana~“Where is my son?” Her sharp gaze accessing me. I gulped the pile in my throat, taking a step back to allow her into the house. She removed the shades sitting on her nose, a look of irritation flashed through her features.“He is in his room and is sick.” I replied, she quirked an eyebrow up, looking at me from head to tail.“Why are you dressed like a tramp on sale? Is this how you manage the company with Aaron? Are you trying to seduce him?” She asks. Let me introduce you to Melanie Carlsen. Eugene Carlsen’s second wife and Aarons stepmother, she’s not a fan of me and it’s nothing new. To be honest I still can’t pinpoint what exactly it is I did to make her dislike me and frankly I couldn’t care. Melanie is someone like my mother, well, they sure almost the same personality. Averagely tall, plump with a lot of cosmetic surgeries, extremely pale skin.“Excuse me ma’am but I don’t think my dressing is in anyway your business. Your son is sick, you’d hold probably be after that.

Lana~I groaned shifting slightly only to hear someone chuckle beside me. My eyes flew open to see Aaron gazing at me, face inches away from mine.He leaned back, allowing me space to breathe and grasp the situation. “You’re awake?” I croaked out, cursing my subconscious for making me sound like a frog in need of hot water.“Yes, woke up earlier than you.” He responded and just then did I take a better look at him. He seemed extremely better than yesterday. “Do you feel better?” I asked, sitting up.Aaron nods "Thank you for staying with me last night, I’m sure you had better things to do than this and I shouldn’t have-“ I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering just what he is apologizing for?“Are you apologizing for being sick? I don’t regret staying and making sure you’re alright. It’s alright with me.” I replied. Aaron glances at me, a smile taking over his face.“Still thank you. I’m sure you were pissed with the way Asher and Kai kept calling you.” He grumbles and I chuckled. Rememberi

Lana~"What are you guys doing here?” I ask as I got down from the car. Ellie and Sasha turn to look at me, eyes widening upon seeing me well and alive."So you weren’t in there dead?” Sasha deadpans, warning her a slap on her arm. “Don’t be ridiculous. I told you she’s okay and you could stop panicking.” Ellie sneers, taking a step towards me.“We didn’t hear from you all through yesterday, Sasha had a bad date and decided to crash at yours but you weren’t home. She came to mine and suddenly had a premonition about you being locked up or something. Anyways, she made me drive here so early searching for you.”“It was a dream.” Sasha chirps in. “And we wouldn’t have gone through all of that stress if your phone wasn’t turned off. Seriously, where are you coming from.” Sasha asked.I sighed exasperatedly, knowing I brought this upon myself. I was so worried about Aaron that I forgot to inform them I would be going with him. Must have been surprising for them to not heart anything from

Lana~“Let’s go out tomorrow?” “Why do you say? Are you free tomorrow noon? What am I even asking? Of course you wouldn’t but what I’m saying is that, you can take a break tomorrow.” Aaron rants on, walking behind me as I put the files into their appropriate places.“Aaron, you only got approval from your doctor to start working. Why not give it a rest?” I pause, raising my eyebrows at him. He sighs, pulling me closer to him by my shoulders.“I really want to go out with you and I know this might look desperate but I think it’s long overdue. We deserve this much, don’t you think?” He asks me, lower lips slightly jutting out in a pout.I chuckled but nodded “Alright, but don’t you think we should wait till weekend? Today is a Wednesday and you haven’t been at work for two days. Perhaps you-" I didn’t get to complete my words as he stops me.“I technically own the company, Lana. I can take a week’s break if I want. Taking a break tomorrow won’t damage the company.” He shoots back. “Com

Lana~“So you’re telling me she did that?” Ellie asks and I hum, taking another slice of ham to eat.“I really don’t understand why Mr Carlsen had to marry her, I mean, she’s always so mean, arrogant and believes she’s better than everyone.” “Maybe because she is, did you see her bag? It can buy me and my family.” Sasha counters as Ellie gasps incredulously. “You’re just too much, how much is a Birkin bag?” Ellie asks, I shrug but Sasha takes out her phone to Google it. “Eighteen thousand!” She gasps, shoving her phone at Ellie who squinted to read the letters. “Bitch, you better be joking. She spends this much on a freaking bag." Ellie grabs the phone, taking a closer look at the amount.“Dude, they’re rich, rich.” She says after some seconds, passing the phone back to Sasha who hums in agreement.“Can she adopt me? I promise I’ll behave.” “Eew, have some dignity, Sasha.” I hit her on the head. Ellie cackles while Sasha grumble about being mistreated."She’s like Ursula from that

Lana~I stare at my reflection, a sigh escaped my lips. I can’t help but think about how the night would end. How everything would go. Would Mr Carlsen like me going out with his son? Will I still have my job?It’s not like I can be fired flimsily. My subconscious tells me but I shove it at the back of my mind. I place my hands over the dress, smoothening the rough edges as I gnawed on my lower lip with worry. My phone dinged, letting me know I have a message. I flinched slightly at the notification, taking the phone off the table to check my message. Aaron texted, letting me know he is now outside my home.I take a step back, looking at myself for the hundredth time through the mirror, I nod in satisfaction, now grabbing my purse and walk out of the room. Soon I was outside the house locking the door properly. Aaron was parked right in front of the house, he stood by the car in a black shirt and black trousers, his hair curled and brushed, allowing some of the curls fall to his f

Lana~“What are you doing here?" Aaron asks, standing up from his chair to face the lady. I look around to see everyone of them with the same facial expression, surprised. A woman stood beside Melanie, talking and elegant, face slim yet stainless, looking like a porcelain doll. She had a black dress that hugs her body like a second skin on, longe blonde hair that accentuated her blue eyes. Full lips moulded in a brown matte lipstick."I- I had to see you, your mom invited me over.” The lady stutters out, tucking her blonde hair behind her ear, she glances at Mr Carlsen, an awkward smile on her lips.“Good evening, Eugene, I hope you’re okay with me being here.” She speaks.“No! No one is okay with you being here, Andrea. What were you even thinking about, inviting her back here!” Aaron snaps. I suddenly became very much aware of the situation at hand.“I did you a favor. Something we should’ve settled right when it began. You and Andrea had the-““Melanie! My relationship is not your

Lana~"So…" Ellie drags out making me roll my eyes.“What?” I deadpan, raising an eyebrow up.“Just ask her, Ellie. She isn’t going to bite you.” Sasha yells from the living room. The microwave dinged, I opened it, taking out the now hot burrito.“Yeah, speak. Ellie and stop being a chicken.” I teased, still wondering what she wants to ask me that’s making her this timid.“Fine! Ineedyoutoteachmehowtoskate.” She rushes out, hands balled into a fist, eyes squeezed close.“What?” I ask, confused. Sasha begins to laugh loudly from the living room. “Skate as in skateboarding?” I ask, trying to clarify things. Ellie sighs, leaning against the kitchen counter, watching as I pull a bottle of coke out from the refrigerator.“Don’t get me coke, the gas makes me feel fuzzy.” I roll my eyes, placing the coke on the island.“It’s not like we’ve been friends for over five years now and stop trying to change the subject. Why do you need to skateboard.” I ask and she groans, dragging her hands over

EpilogueAaron~I had less than ten minutes to get to her house, ten minutes to catch her before she leaves me for ever. Am I being dramatic? Maybe but it’s been too long and I can’t let it go on even more. My phone began to ring again, I glanced at the caller I’d to see Kai’s name displayed on the front screen. I put my AirPods into my ear and swiped right.“Where are you? Are you almost there?” Kia rushes out. I roll my eyes just as I take a turn. Why in God’s name does the police station have to be so far from her house. I let out a frustrated growl when I approach the traffic light, stopping the car.I have less than five minutes to go. “I’m almost at hers. I really hope she’s still there. God, I can’t take it if she’s not there.” My heart beat was going a hundred mile per second on the thought of not meeting her there. I would simply not be able to stand it.“Good luck!” Kai cuts the call. I gnawed know my lower lip as I look out the windshield, the numbed still going slowly. I

Aaron~The next day I woke up to a my phone incessant ringing. A grunt escapes my lips as I open my eyes, struggling to sit up and then reach for my phone. An unknown number was displayed on the screen.I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering who it could be. I swiped right, placing the phone against my ear.“Is this Mr Aaron Carlsen? We are calling from Area one police station regarding your complaint. We have arrested one miss Andrea Dawson for drugging against consent. Your presence is required." The person tells me. I felt my heart beat hike up to a thirty just on hearing Andrea has now been arrested. I remember spending the night speaking to Kai and telling him what had happened. I didn’t think she would be arrested so fast too. Oh well."Thank you, I’ll come soon.” I cut the call and got up from the bed, walked to the bathroom and had my bath. I stepped out a few minutes later, changed into something more comfortable for today and walked out of the room when I was done. I put my car ke

Aaron~“Where are you going to?” Father holds my arm, eyes boring into mine.“Where am I going to?“ I scoffed, jerking his hand away from me “I’m going to lay a complaint about your wife and Andrea drugging me, your son. Not like you care.” I rolled my eyes.“We’re coming with you, Aaron.” Asher piped up from he says with Rue.Father sighs, running his hand through his hair. “But, how and why would Melanie want to drug you?” He asks again“I don’t know, why not ask her since she’s standing over there.” I point at Melanie who had her arm wrapped over her chest, definitely not going to back down easily.“Fine! Call the police but I’ll tell them the same thing I told you, I had nothing to do with whatever is going on with you.” She counters and I chuckle“Really? That’s what you’re still going by? You did nothing but you met up with Levi and asked that he keeps what he saw that night a secret. You met him at the coffee shop and yet you’re lying through your rotten teeth. You do know that

Aaron~“What the actual fuck!” Kai exclaims, I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. “Yeah, she turned my life into some sick ass soap opera. Andrea managed to drug me and Melanie paid the one person who knew it about off. I mean, I knew she was vile and all of that but never did it cross my mind that she’s actually this crazy.” I shudder internally on remembering just how surprised she was when she found out Lana broke up with me. Such a silly fake person.“So what are you going to do? Talk to Melanie? Andrea or Lana?” He asks and I sighed over the phone, I look up at the house I was currently facing.“Looks like it’s Melanie. I’m tired of her bullshit and it’s time she knows that."“I wish I was there for emotionally support and also see the tea. I wish you the best.” I chuckled over the phone, pushing the car doors open and stepped out, placing the phone properly against my ear.“Yeah, yeah, do you.” I cut the call, placing it into my pocket and walked towards the door. I had texted

Aaron~“So what you’re saying is, you think your stepmother might have something to do with this?” Ellie deadpans. “Well, she’s always wanted Andrea for me and it just seemed weird that Andrea was at the same place as I was and I’m sure you know it’s very weird that Melanie was with Levi, like what could be the relationship between them?” I ask, watching every of their faces.“Man.,this is more complicated than I thought. I’m sorry but your stepmother is a fucking wimp. If this is true and she’s toying with your life then it’s better you call her out on it. This is fucking ridiculous.” Sasha exclaims.“And what if it isn’t? What if you did cheat on Lana and all of these are just some fucked up reasoning you came up with? What if you did cheat on her, then what?” Ellie asks instead. I felt my resolve crumble as I look at her.She’s right. What if I did cheat on Lana. What if I’m not innocent and Melanie actually knows Levi from somewhere, then what? “I doubt that he did. Even before t

Oh sweetie" Sasha blurts out as soon as she sees me, immediately rushing to my side. She holds my arm, Pulling me closer to her."Hey." I whisper, voice hprase from all the crying ive been doing all day."I heard what happened and just so you know, he will get what's coming to him for even daring to look at another when you were in a relationship with him. I really can't believe the nerve of men."I couldn't help but chuckle on seeing seeing her talk so fiercly about it. "I'm sorry this is happening to you because you on't deserve any of this."I glance at Ellie who was staring at Sasha and I, her arms wrapped agaisnt her chest, she had the softest yet saddest smile on her face."Will you eat something?" Ellie voices out and just at that moment did i realise just how late it ws already, my eyes straying to the wall clock hanging on the wall."I- It's so late." I state but it coes out as a question instead. I sihed, shaking my head "Im not hungry,." I reply, manuvering my way to the co

Aaron~The next day, I wake up very much out of it. A grunt escapes my lips as I sit up, supporting myself with my hands. My head feels like it’s been pounded on severally. I squinted my eyes, rubbing my hand through my face. I went to the club with Kai and… I struggled to remember what happened and once again, found myself cursing at my memory. Why the fuck won’t I remember anything. This is very much embarrassing and tiring. Just how much did I..I didn’t get to finish that train of thought as the images of yesterday night came flashing through my head. Kai forcing me to stop drinking. Kai bringing me back home. Kai helping me to the bed. I tempered everything but it cost me another rush of headache.I sighed, getting up from the bed only to see that I am still in last night clothe. Kai could’ve at least helped me to change. I walk to the bathroom, stripping off my clothes and stepped into the shower to take a cold bath. My head still banging so hard.I finished bathing and stepped

Aaron ~“Hey! Watch it. You’re drinking way too much than you should.” Kai says, taking the bottle of alcohol away.“Just leave me. I’m so fucked, Kai. I’m so fucking fucked. I have no idea what to do so please, leave me to do what I want.” I snapped, grabbing the bottle back from him.We are in our favorite spot, we’d usually come here whenever we need a break from things. Whenever we feel tired and just need a moment to ourselves, you’d usually find us here.“Drinking isn’t going to solve half of what is happening to you now. Get your ass up and stop drinking so much.” He grabs the bottle back, his tone made it clear that he wouldn’t be giving me back,“Kai, things are so bad right now.” I tell him and he hums.“I feel so choked up. I spend nights trying to think and remember what happened that night. There is this huge burden on my shoulders. Lana refuses to speak to me. There is father, Melanie , the company’s new Mr Chen of Thai. I feel so bad, I’ve been working so hard on that c

My eyes sweeped over her Look, a smile making it was to my lips."Whoo.” I whistled, watching Sasha’s face burn bright pink. She had a short blue dress that settled just below her ass, showing a lot more cleavage. Her hair was rolled and brushed down, lips coated in red."If you weren’t in a situationship with Kai then be sure that I would date the duck out of you right now. How can you look so hot?” “There is no situationship with Kai. I thought I liked him and that’s all there is to it. I don’t like him anymore though so it’s fine.” She says and I pause for a second, the silver hoop she was asking for was in my hands.“Sasha..” I trail off, removing our conversation in Grenada. I don’t know what’s happening with her especially with Kai and her. what I do know is that Sasha is very scared and with good reasons too.“Let’s not
