Amanda's pov:
I was on my bed just watching the maids converse and laugh.
I prefer the Orphanage to this place...
This place is too boring and big for me.
When I look at my future...I view nothing at all.
I feel so useless and stranded.
What's mrs Carol's plan for me? Why did she bring me here?
I stood up and left the room.
I really want to see the whole house.
I went up the stairs walking fast and sneaking around cause I know if Mrs Carol sees me, am as good as dead...
~~~~~~~~~
Royce's pov:
"Oh yeah...more! Royce...." Kimora bemoaned with her hands on her butt cheeks.
I was f--king her in a doggy style. That's the way I want it...
Especially with her.
My loaded girlfriend, Kimora is obsessed with me.
I don't care if all she needs is my money but as long as she doesn't deny me her honeypot, we're good to go.
"Oh geez..." She cried as we hit climax.
The pleasure flows in and I threw my head backwards.
I pulled out and pulled up my pants.
She quickly fixed her pantie and adjusted her skirt.
"that was naughty Royce. You keep getting better and better each time, don't tell me you've been practicing" She said brushing her hair.
I rolled my eyes.
"Are you saying am cheating on you?--"
"No no no! Am sorry, hope you're not offended" she said rubbing her hands on my chest.
I removed her hands and grabbed my keys.
"I'll drop you off, let's go" I jibed.
"Oh, okay" she said with her tiny voice which irritates me.
I wore my white slippers and put on my two golden rings.
We left my room with her clutching onto my arm tightly.
I scoffed.
Am starting to get tired of her..
But getting rid of her won't be easy.
We bumped into someone, geez, she hurt me with her arm.
What's wrong with the maids in this mansion!
I glanced at the girl...
Oh, I don't think she's a maid..
She doesn't look like one.
"Oh my God, am so sor--"
"What's wrong with you? Are you blind?!!!!" Kim yelled angrily interrupting the girl.
She placed her hands on her mouth and I could tell she's scared.
I held the girl and pulled her to my side while Kim stared glaring at her.
"Kim, go wait in the car" I said still holding the girl.
"but Royce baby..."
"I said go to the car, I'll join you" I cut her off.
She squeezed her face and left.
I turned to the girl.
"And who are you?" I asked the girl.
"Am...Amanda" she replied as tears came down her cheeks.
"Hey stop crying... You hurt me with your arm, if you look closely, you'll see the bruise" I said pointing at my lip.
~~~~~~~~~~
Amanda's pov:
I wiped my tears and looked at his face.
Am so dead...
There's a small red spot on his lip.
"Am so sorry, what...What can I do to fix it" I stuttered.
"A peck" he said and pointed to his left cheek.
I came close and pecked him.
Anything to save myself from mrs Carol's trouble.
He smiled.
"Am Royce,. See you later pretty" he said and left.
He's so good looking.
Mrs Carol's first son.
Just like the boy on the paper..
What's his name again? Bryan.
I wish I could see him.
~~~~~~~~~
I sat down on one of the chairs close to a girl younger than my age.
I hated the dress I was wearing.
Mrs Carol bought it.
It's dinner time and she invited me to come join her family for dinner so she could introduce me.
I didn't want to look at him, I was too shy too.
Bryan was sitting opposite and he has never said a word
Why is he too quiet and cold?
Unlike his brother Royce who can't stop looking at me.
Am so happy I finally get to see Bryan in person. He's so hot and charming just as I thought.
His brows is nicely long and has a slight cut at each middle.
Am drooling over someone I barely know... How absurd.
"I want to introduce someone new to us. She's Amanda and she'll be staying with us. She'll start going to your school from tomorrow and I want to make something clear... She's not in anyway one of us. She has no place in this house. A nobody so treat her as one" mrs Carol stated and I jusr bowed my head in shame.
Why is she being too straight about it?
"She won't go to school with you and nobody should know she lives with us... Infact, your name would be changed" she said and my eyes beamed.
"From now on, you'll be Amanda Griffin" She said and I didn't know when I nodded.
"Okay ma'am" I shrieked.
I looked up to catch Bryan staring at me.
How embarrassing.
Royce wore a smile and he winked at me.
Okay, what does that mean?
Bryan didn't stay long and he left.
I ate the tasty meal with a wry smile.
At the Orphanage, we had beef stew almost everyday which makes me sick!
I should be grateful mrs Carol has taken me away from there.
Though am now like one of her maids, I'll still go to school and eat good food and sleep on a strong bed.
I finished my meal and thanked everyone before leaving the dinning.
I lost my way.
Believe me when I tell you the house is huge..
I walked into someone and clumsy me made us fall!!
I was lying on his body struggling to hold myself.
I looked up and my eyes met with Bryan's!!
Oh heavens.
Am screwed...!
Amanda's pov:I quickly got to my feet in a jiffy."Am so sorry, please for--""Such clumsiness, were you born blind?" He asked as he stood up.First day and am getting into so much trouble.I shook my head."Am so sorry" I shrieked and ran out like usain bolt.I didn't even know where I was going.How could Bryan be so mean?I admired his great looks but he's just a heartless gorgeous guy..Royce is way better than him but still am no longer mad at him.Though he spoke to me badly, I still feel not so offended.I think am going insane.geez, let this day end already.~~~~~~~~~~~I woke up early and got ready for school. A rich school to be precise...Mrs Carol atleast bought me clothes.Am guessing the clothes are from her cause I woke up and saw two big shopping bags next to my bed."Uh..Taylor, can you please tell me the way to my school" I said to her when she stepped out
Amanda's pov:I sat with Jade and Phoebe as they talked nonstop about Bryan.They've been talking since and aren't tired.I wonder if this is their daily routine.How can someone love Bryan this much?"Amanda, you're kinda quiet. Don't you know Bryan?" Jade asked.I shook my head."I don't" I lied remembering mrs Carol's instructions.'Don't let anyone suspect you live with us'."He's not in school today but you can still manage this" Phoebe jibed and pointed at Jade's shirt.I nodded with a wry smile looking at Bryan's cute face.He's so adorable.I don't know why am this soft spotted for him. Maybe cause I've never actually liked someone to want to be with them my whole life...A tall slim woman walked in and everyone sat properly.Wait a minute, this school doesn't look so sumptuous as I thought.Why would billionaires attend such school?Then I remembered it might be by choice.
Amanda's pov:The next morning was fast and annoying. The maids left me to do the dishes and believe me, there was a lot.This feels like the Orphanage.Am usually asked to help do the dishes and I always agree.Am not used to turning people down.I walked to school this time around cause there was no sign of Royce anywhere.Besides, it's not like he's my driver or anything.I attended classes with Jade and Phoebe by my side. The teacher hadn't come yet so Everyone was scattered around the class talking and laughing.A man with huge glasses came in and everyone started to adjust which felt like a deja vu since it happened yesterday.I brought out my books and dropped them on my desk.I looked around..Where's Bryan?"Looking for someone?" Jade whispered to me.I nodded slowly."I was expecting to see Bryan today" I replied despondently.Phoebe chuckled."He's up there girl. VIP clas
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...
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................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
