Amanda's pov:
"I don't like any of them" I replied short of words.
She scoffed.
"Even a blind man knows you're into Royce" she blurted.
My heart starts to race.
This girl is surely going to cast me.
"I'm not.." I interpolated.
"Then what were you doing in his room? Don't you see the way he looks at you? Don't tell me you find that ordinary" she said with an eye roll.
I was dumbfounded.
"Here's the thing. In case you don't know, Royce and Bryan aren't in the good terms. They argue like cats and dogs but you haven't witnessed them fight yet cause Bryan has been quiet and busy this days.
"Royce screwed Bryan's ex girlfriend Stacy while he had a girlfriend. So Bryan hates him so much. But one thing's for sure, Bryan is cursed and I don't think he'll ever be happily Inlove with someone" Minnie enthused and sighed.
Wow...
There's so much to know.
"You don't understand, I don't want any of them" I said perplexed.
"The only way out is to find a boyfriend from school...I can help you out. Free services" she said grinning.
"I don't think I want to be in a relationship yet" I admitted taking my books cause I was done braiding her hair.
She twirled and turned to me.
"Am sorry to say this but, if you don't find someone else apart from them, then you're stuck in the middle and trust me, you won't like that part" she shrugged and walked to the door.
I left her room and went to the kitchen to help make dinner.
Later in the night , I felt uneasy and just wanted to come outside and receive some air.
Everyone was asleep and the mansion was damn quiet.
I took a flashlight and turned it on using it to find my way to the huge and spacious gallery I saw earlier when I arrived at the mansion.
I came to a dead stop when I met someone standing there his hands on the railing.
He was facing me..
A handsome broad back on a black pyjamas.
I took some steps back retreating so he doesn't notice.
"Hi" I heard and I froze.
Bryan.
He noticed I was here.
Bryan just hi'ed meš±š±
"H...hi" I stuttered.
"You can stay, am going in anyway" he said turning a bit and am able to see his lovely face amidst the darkness.
I nodded and walked slowly to the gather. He's still here, he didn't leave.
"How's your head?" He asked coming close.
"It's fine" I replied with my heart racing.
He didn't say anything for a while.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
I went numb.
"When are you going to leave our house?" He asked...
I can't tell him I was adopted by his mom, can I?
"I'll leave soon" I replied as beads of sweats appeared on my forehead.
"Why?, Won't Royce miss you when you go?" He asked.
Written by Eunice Nwodu ~
Whaat?
Why does everyone think Royce and I are together?
".I don't really know--" I replied stepping backwards.
He was coming close bit by bit.
"No, you should know.
Have you met his girlfriend?,
How can you be comfortable being with him when he has a girlfriend?" He asked.
Oh yea...
He's angry.
But why?
"He's just helping me with my homework" I admitted.
"Are you sure?" He asked coming close.
The gather stopped my retreat.
He bent a bit and drew close. He had his hands in his pocket.
Our faces were inches apart.
He came more closer and our lips met. He kissed me slowly.
My eyes were wide open and I just blinked like a lost goat..
Is he Perharps drunk?
Oh God!
His lips are just as tasty as they look.
Bryan Dickson is kissing me.
Can today get any crazier?
He stopped and gazed into my eyes. Deep.
"Bring your homework to me. I don't want to see you close to him under no circumstance. No going into his room from now on, okay?" He asked and I nodded sheepishly.
Am so failing my exams.
Is Bryan a teacher?
maybe he's on drugs.
"Am sleepy. Can...can I go now?" I asked sheepishly.
Do I need his permission?
"Goodnight" he said and left.
Oh God,
I think am dreamingš±š
~~~~~~~~Next day š~~~~~~~~~
Ashley's pov:
My driver parked infront of the Dickson's mansion and i alit from the car.
Today is going to be just crazy.
I wore a mini hot Flay skirt that brought out my hips and butt.
Bryan has never invited me to his house. Can this mean he's falling for me inch by inch?
I was allowed in after thorough check up. A maid was waiting for me.
VIP š
I love Bryan!!
"Miss Ashley, I'll take you to were they are" she said and I nodded.
She led the way.
We got to the large decorated garden.
OMG!
It was the three billionaire kids.
Minnie, Royce and my love, Bryan.
They were wearing casual outfits and music was playing from the speaker.
A girl with red hair was playing with the big gold chain on Royce's neck while Minnie was taking selfies.
And my Bryan was busy with his phone.
There were four other expensive looking kids relaxing on the lounge chairs each enjoying the music.
Some were eating and drinking.
A house party.
Whoa...
Amanda's pov:I sat by the kitchen counter scribbing something on my notepad. I love writing songs that come to mind so I do this often.Taylor walked in with the head maid.They have been busy for a while"You, carry this drinks and go serve the kids outside. And be polite" the head maid said."I..I can't serve them..." I stuttered"And why is that?" She sneered.I sighed.I don't want to see him - Both Bryan and Royce."Let me serve the drinks--" Taylor intervened."No, let her do it" the head maid insisted.I carried the tray with so much thoughts going through my mind.I would see him again after the crazy ordeal last night.I can do this...I got to the garden sight where a big speaker was and music was playing loudly.I
Amanda's pov:I woke up with the maids and helped get breakfast ready. It's so stressful cause the head maid seemed to be giving Me more work than I supposed to carry out.I nearly broke down...What sort of punishment is this?I got ready for school and had breakfast with Taylor before I ran off hoping not to miss the bus.I got outside the gate and to my suprise, Bryan's car was outside.He normally goes out with a white Benz with his signature on it with gold paint.I though he already left for school.He got down and I felt so strange.What's that feeling."Let's go together. Get in" he said and entered the car.Free ride!I entered and held onto my bag tightly. He started driving.I looked back though I didn't know why I wanted to.I saw Royce driving out in his blue Ferrari car.Oops,&n
Bryan's pov:I watched her run off.I feel so guilty. But I can't help but feel the warmth of her lips. I've never been so unable to control my feelings for someone.Damn right it's a fast move to kiss her!But what do I do?Am spoiling the innocent girl.Forgive me Amanda. But I just can't help it.Amanda's pov:I asked for help to get to the principal's office.I can't help but feel nervous and scared. What's going on?I got into the principal's office to meet her sitting on her desk."Miss Griffin" she called gazing at me beneath the eye glasses on her nose.I gulped and swallowed nothing."Yes ma'am" I replied."Am giving you a detention for skipping classes. Till 6pm" she said writing something down.What?"But...I was
Amanda's pov:Bryan and I had the most amazing time ever at the garden. What a wonderful place with the one you admire the most.And strangely he couldn't get enough of my lips.gosh, is this what being Inlove feels like?I never thought I'd experience such.Bryan and I went into the house and path ways when we entered the living room.Too bad I have homeworks to do. The principal is so cruel...But come to think of it, how did she know I was at the VIP class? Someone reported me who could do such a thing?Who else but Ashley.I know she hates me a lot but what do I do?Bryan doesn't want me to leave his sight.He cares so much for me.Ashley's pov:I smiled as the image of Amanda stressed out and worn out after detention and answering multiple questions played in my mind.
Amanda's pov:"Good morning" he said.I yawned a little."Good morning Bryan. I'm sorry for barging in last night. I didn't mean to" I said helplessly."It's okay. I liked it." He said.I smiled and took my lips in."What time is it? We should be in school" I jibed panicky.I sat up and so did Bryan."It's okay if we stay at home. We don't have any homework, do we?" He asked.I remembered the principal's homework. I need to submit it. I need to be in school!"No Bryan. I can't miss school. How do I get to my room and change without anyone seeing me leave your room?" I asked."Relax and come with me" he said Nonchalantly.."If your mom sees me, she'll--" I paused.geez, do I want to get into a bigger trouble by telling Bryan about his mom's threats?"She'll do what?" He asked keenly.&
Amanda's pov:"B...Bryan" Ashley stuttered and stood up together with Brittany.She couldn't take her eyes off me."Bryan... What's going on? What do you want?" Principal asked"Can you explain while you gave Amanda this punishment?" He asked furiously."you have no right to question my authorities Bryan. You are a celebrity but you need to have some decorum--""Screw that!! We're gonna see who has the authorities around here. Better start packing cause am getting you fired!" Bryan yelled and threw the book on the principal's desk. He took my hand leading me out of the office .... we went upstairs were the guards where waiting...Straight into VIP class"am angry with you Amanda... Why didn't you tell me?" He asked furiously."I just don't want trouble Bryan. Let it go...am already through with the questions" I rep
Amanda's pov:I sneaked into the house and put on some clothes.Thank goodness not even a soul saw me.I was under my duvet shaking and sobbing as the event replayed through my mind. I want to go back to the orphanage.Am tired of this place.āØMrs Carol's povāØI saw it all...Amanda coming out from Royce's car and running into the house. What's this girl up to?Is she trying to have a thing with my son?Or Perharps Royce is sleeping with her...Dang it!I should have payed attention to her when she arrived at the house. I just got distracted with work.I went to meet Royce in his room."Hi mom. What can I do for you?" He asked."What's going on between you and that girl? Why are you giving her a ride? Do you want to date her?!" I rapsed.....
Amanda's povI stood speechless looking at her."Did you just come out of Bryan's room?!!" She thundered.I flinched.. And gazed around not knowing what to say."Mom I...""Who's your mom you little devil? I won't ask again , what are you doing here?!" She yelled furiously.But she adopted me..."I came to give Bryan his dinner" I was able to say."How come? Dinner that I requested to be sent to him 20 Minutes ago? Where you giving birth in there?" She asked glaring at me.Why does she hate me so much.I felt a presence behind me and I knew it was Bryan.Who else has that brain spinning scent like Bryan?He smells so sweet and manly...Amanda, focus!You're in trouble."What's going on here mom? Why are you yelling at her" he asked dryly slight
................. Amanda's pov................I woke up with my head throbbing a bit.It banged slowly but still made me feel uncomfortable.Seriously?I have a headache today.And today that is my wedding?I smiled staring at the extra long and intoxicating wedding gown that hung at the end of the room.This is happening...Not a dream at all!I painstakingly climbed down from the bed and went to the bathroom. I pressed a button and my maids rushed in.They helped me fix my bath, washed my hair and prep my makeup...They also helped me fit into my gown.The hair stylists were already ready and they got to work.The make up artists followed.I tried not to appear nervous as different faces stared down at me, turning me into something I couldn't describe.They were finally done and I just stared at my face like a dummy.Is this really me?The Amanda with no surname
........Carol's pov...I laid on the bare floor in the prison cell I was.Weak, tired and drained of my strength.How can everything turn out this way?Oh God!I've been passed sentence, Life imprisonment.I sobbed.How can my kids do this to me? After I gave them everything a mother could possibly offer.They threw that away and joined forces in sending me to jail.I did it all for them.I became greedy because of them...I remember carrying Amanda who was just nine months old. I handed her to my employee to dispose. Later I found out the lady didn't kill her but gave her out.I killed the lady and after months of searching for baby Amanda,...I gave up.It was recently I saw Amanda in an orphanage bus, I guess they were going on a field trip.I noticed she looked so much like Natalie.I had to find out if she was truly Natalie's blood.It took long before I could get her
.........Royce's pov........I yanked the man's head painfully and he yelled in pain."Who hired you?!!!" I yelled into his face.The police men stood behind him to make sure I don't kill him."Fu*k off!" He yelled."That's not the answer I want. Seems like you don't value your legs" I stated and grabbed a bat...I was about to use it on his knee when he stopped me."Please! I'll confess..." He cried.I glanced at him."It was a fair woman named mrs Carol Dickson. That's the only thing I know, I don't know where she lives or work--" he kept blabbing but my mind was off at the mention of 'mrs Carol Dickson'.My head was banging with shock and I couldn't just believe it."Recorded" One of the policemen said and dragged the guy out.Bryan was outside.I heard a loud commotion. I rushed out to see Bryan beating up the goon.I rushed to him to calm him down while the policemen rushed o
.............Royce's pov............I pressed the door bell and Kimora opened up in no time."Royce..." She breathed out obviously shocked to see me in her house without her pestering me to come over.I went in and shut the door behind me and I went for her. Claiming her lips as my hands rested on her waist pulling her close.She broke the kiss to catch her breath."I've been calling you but you haven't been answering my calls. I texted you a dozen times and you haven't even seen them... I also--"I shut her up with a kiss and she wrapped her hands around my neck. She moaned into my lips.I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. We kissed and bit on each other's lips hungrily.I carried her to her room and dropped her on the bed. I took off my jacket, next was my shirt.I took off her singlet and unhooked her bra. Luckily, she was in her night shorts so I just pulled it off without stress.I suck
.......Amanda's pov.......I was back to the hotel with Royce. I laid on my bed going through my new phone while Royce was in his room probably sleeping.I went to the image section. Photos of Bryan popped up.Whoa...Didn't see that coming.There were lots of his photos and I hugged my phone. I kissed Bryan's hot photo. I miss him so much...When will I see him again? I just hope he comes tomorrow.My phone rang.Bryan.I quickly picked it up."Hey babe. Are you guys back?" He asked.I smiled."Yes. A while ago. Are you ready for bed?" I asked."Yeah. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. What should I get for you?"."Nothing...Am okay. How's Minnie?" I asked."She misses you but she'll be okay. Is Royce sleeping? Are you guys sharing a bed?" He asked."Nooo... He's in his room in the suit" I replied with a chuckle."That's good. I want to see you. Should we video chat
.......Amanda's pov.......I stared at the strange woman that just called my name. Do I know her from somewhere? I racked my brain...No clue.Bryan slowly left me as the lady came close. Two men in black suit showed up and collected the lady's luggage."I'll be down soon" she said to them and they left then she turned to me."Amanda...your name is Amanda right?" She asked balantly.I nodded finding it all strange.The lady is very pretty and dressed so rich and wealthy. She wore gold accessories...She's no ordinary person."Your birthmark...can I see it?" She asked pointing at my waistline.Bryan made me stand behind him."You want to see what?" He asked glaring at the lady.geez, he can't even respect her despite the fact the lady is dressed expensive and sumptuous...She chuckled."Relax dear, I just want to see something on her waist. Am not stealing your girlfriend" she said."C'mo
.........Amanda's pov........I was still watching TV.It's been so long...There were so many channels too.This is what freedom feels like.Back at the orphanage, we'll have to wait till movie night before seeing a movie.There was so much food in the fridge and I've eaten enough.I woke up to find the door locked and no Royce.The door opened.He's back!I looked keenly at the door and next thing shocked me, a guy with a mask walked in. Then he removed the mask..."Bryan!" I ran to him and hugged him despite the fact my tmy was still hurting.He was holding a big bag but he dropped it and carried me up.I missed him so much.He dropped me and we shared a kiss."I missed you" he said.I sniffed.He took me to the bed and made me sit. He lifted my shirt and stared at the place that had been bandaged.He couldn't take his eyes off it."Am fine Bryan. I
.........Carol's pov....... "Actually...I didn't see where the bullet was coming from not to speak of who shot us. If it's a woman or a man, I have no idea" Minnie replied and I was relieved. Bryan didn't say anything else but went upstairs. Am safe. ........Amanda's pov........ I opened my eyes slowly. I feel so weak and some part of my abdomen hurts. I looked at my right and found Royce staring at me. I flinched. "Hey" he said in a hoarse voice. I couldn't say anything but just sit up leaning on the pillows. "Hi" I mumbled. "You've been unconscious for two days. You survived the bullets" he said. Wow... I can't believe am actually alive. "Where are we?" I asked. "At a hotel. I wanted you to be conscious before we go home, that's if you want to" he said and I shook my head. "I don't want to..." I mumbled. "Oh, what of Bryan? Does he know am
Carol's pov: I drove through the wet streets of Florida to the garden. It's a popular one and everyone knows this place. I could barely see where I was going thanks to the mirror wipers I still had eyes on the road. The rain is hectic and I feared I'll catch a cold after this. I parked my car somewhere and walked through the long garden. There were streets lights so I wasn't going through the dark. I paused when I saw someone sitting on the floor backing me. geez,. The rain was beating him but he didn't move on bit. Who could that be? I held my umbrella firmly over my head which wanted to
