Lana~I step out of the taxi, the tub of ice cream safely placed in my bag and the cake in another. I’m so thankful mother took out time to keep them safe for me and even offered to bring me back but I declined, knowing she’s still not that well.I laid the driver and walk into my building, pushing the gate apart only to see Ellie and Sasha sitting outside my door. Well, Sasha sitting outside my door and Ellie pacing around my door, looking all worried and overly bothered.“Guys..” i called out, walking towards them. The both snap their heads to look at me.“What the fuck?” Sasha blurts, standing up to meet me.“We have been so worried, thinking you were home but maybe passed out from crying so hard after al you were so bad yesterday.” She blurts out again. I quirk an eyebrow up and huffed, this is what they think of me? I’m really not that irresponsible.“Gee! Thanks guys for the faith and enthusiasm. Do you mind yelling even louder so the neighbors can know I just got my heart broke

Aaron~The incessant ringing of the landline had me pissed off. I had given Tania clear and strict instructions that I don’t want to be bothered. I just want to bury myself in work and keep trying to give Lana the space she requested for.I sighed, leaning against the chair, bringing my hand up to my forehead. I resisted the urge to rake my hair backwards, knowing I can’t look rough right now, especially with the upcoming meeting I’d be having.The meeting. Lana and I have slaved ourselves over and over again just to get the perfect results. Just so we have this contract with the Thai industries, this would put our company on the map in Thailand but now she’s not here.I felt choked up, remembering just what had happened. It’s been three days since then and she’s called in sick for those three days. I’ve been fighting the overwhelming urge to drive past her house and just get on my knees to plead but she wouldn’t want that. I have to respect everything she says.Respect? That’s actuall

Lana~I step out of the taxi, inhaling deeply the exhaled. My grip on my bag tightened as I look up. Carlsen industries.I’ve come to tender my resignation.My phone dings loudly, alerting me of the message I just got. I bring my bag up, rummaging through the contents and pull out the phone.'Sending you our warmest hugs, Good luck baby, best wishes from mom and dad' A warm smile Adenuga way to my lips as I stare at the message a tad longer than I should.It’s been a week. I took a week break from the company and spent it with my parents, Ellie and Sasha. Spending time away from here made me rethink everything not going right in my life. I came to the conclusion to rip the bandage off today. I’ll tender my resignation and leave. Mother and Father leave for Switzerland on Wednesday and I’ll be going with them even if it’s just for four days. A change of scenery would be good for me and I’ve made it a mission not to disturb mother and father’s vacation, knowing just how much they need t

Aaron~I stare at the door, the same door Lana just walked out of, my heart going a hundred per second. “Well, there goes that.” Melanie scoffs, walking towards the dispenser and pours herself a glass of water.“What have you done, Aaron? We’re you preaching to me about how much you loved this girl? You told me you disliked Andrea so much you couldn’t stand the sight of her but now this is it? You cheat on the person you claimed you love and that too for the ex you supposedly hate? Where is your head, boy?” “ I do love her, dad. I love her and I know it. Just please stop.” I shut my eyes close, bringing my hand to pinch the bridge of my nose. Fucking hell. Everything keeps going from bad to worse for me and I have absolutely no idea how to get out of this one. “Well, you don’t cheat on the person you claim to love. How do you even open your mouth to talk about love if you can’t even keep your words? You don’t betray people you love.” It felt like a punch to my gut and the worst par

Lana~“You did it?” Sasha asks just as she steps into the house, two white bags in her hands.“Yes, I met Mr Carlsen there and I mean his father, also the witch he married that is his wife, Melanie.” I say, helping her with the bag in her hand."Where is Ellie? She should’ve been here by now.” I reply and just at the same time, Ellie walks in, a bottle of alcohol in her hand.“Sorry I’m late but I ran into Jason.” She tells me. For a second, I’m reminded of the fact that I haven’t seen Jason in a long while but that’s really the least of my problems right now.Ellie walks towards the kitchen, pulling the refrigerator door open and put the bottle of alcohol in it.“What’s that for?” I ask as she shut the door back. Ellie turns to look at me, shrugging.“Alcohol, does it scare you?” She deadpans and I roll my eyes, raking a seat on the couch while Sasha fiddles with the television remote.“Hey, want to watch some crappy romance show and cry?” She asks, voice coming out a little sadder t

Lana~“Do you have the silver hoops? I need it for my dress, it would look magnificent.” Sasha bursts into my room, already dressed and and missing a earring. 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

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

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

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
