(12 years ago)Jogging to Antonio's house with the excitement of seeing him and letting him know about her results, the oddity she noticed as she got closer to the house made her halt and started walking closer with a puzzled look on her face." What's going on here?", she asked as she noticed the cars parked outside their home. She moved away from the doorstep quickly when she saw that it was about to be open, and an elegant woman exited the house. She was familiar with expensive things and expensive fabrics, so she could tell she was a woman of opulence. She watched as a young man followed her out, with both of them discussing; she hid to the side of the house. She doesn't know why she's hiding neither does she know what's going on." I'm curious about the boy though, no one has ever grabbed grandfather's interest like that", the woman called Sharon said," I'm curious also, and he seems to really like him", the man with her replied," I know right, that's so unlike him", Sharon ad
Drenched in sweat, Clarisse sat up on the bed sluggishly, panting and covering her mouth with her palm. The headache had stopped, but she couldn't stop the tears that freely flowed down her cheeks. She wept bitterly after regaining all the memories she had lost, dawning on her how Christian knew so much about her, from the familiarity to the dates, he had kept his promises except for her, it hurt to realize she couldn't recognize him but it hurts more when she remembered the most significant of her parent's death.She cried more, remembering how her father desperately tried to avoid the incoming truck, which was persistent in hitting them and succeeding. It hurts her so much remembering how she bitterly and weakly tried to find a stick to break the door and save her parents, but she was late. She saw her half-alive mother hovering over her father with tears in her eyes. She saw her look at her with tears in her eyes; she saw her mother whisper ' I love you ' right before the car explo
After tying the pieces of clothes together, she measured the length, but the tied pieces couldn't get to the ground, but it was long enough." I'll jump," she said to herself, and in haste and in the panic of being caught, she began to search for a strong piece of furniture or iron to tie the clothes to. She thought of tying it to the wardrobe, but it's too far from the window, and it'll shorten the length of the clothes, making it impossible for her to jump at the final edge. She kept searching desperately, sweating and panting till she sighted the wooden leg of the bed. She rushed to tightly tie it around the leg closer to the window. Immediately it was done, she stood by the window panting and took a deep breath before giving a long exhale." Don't be afraid, you can do it, you can do it Clarisse, you're stronger now, and braver, you can do it", nodding as she said that to herself, she gently climbed on the window, with her hands shaking and her breath trembling, she began to gent
He knew it was going to happen; every word Grandfather said on the last day they spoke was farewell. Grandfather has been hospitalized for four years in the hospital; they all knew he was going to die; he had lasted longer than they all thought. He was a patient with cancer and heart disease; the surgeries were seventy percent successful, but his aging took over. Christian knew he was bidding him bye, that is why he told him to wait for him to bring Clarisse to him, that's why he told grandfather to tell her about her parents by himself, but the old man knew he wouldn't be able to see her anymore. Even though Christian knew, it still hurt.But he stood behind the hackers with a blank expression; his presence increased the pressure on them; no speech was needed, and their intense concentration and focus were unwavering." Found something", a hacker shouted, and they all immediately gathered around him. He had hacked the satellite to locate her. He believes if she steps out under the s
Kyle stood above her, staring down at her with so much lust, and couldn't wait to rip her clothes apart and devour every part of her body. Her cries, her screams, her wails only ignited the burning desire in him, and he began to undress. He slowly unbuckled his trousers and pulled them down to his ankle, gently unbuttoning his shirt while smiling at her and watching her fight, kicking her legs into the air and fighting to get out of the tight rope.Now Kyle was only in his boxer; he gently climbed onto the bed, trailing her exposed thigh with his finger, and licked her lap. Disgusted by this, she kicked him off, sending him almost off the bed, which pissed him off." Let's do it your way then," he said and pinned her thigh to the bed angrily; he started licking her thigh and sucking it right up to her entrance.She screamed, cried, and cursed but none of this moved him, he was about to touch her down there when he grinned delightfully, " Let's not rush it; let's start from the top,"
She hugged him tighter as she wept, breaking his heart and mixing his sense of relief with guilt.' I should have found her earlier; she must have been so scared', he said in his mind, engulfing her in his arms tighter." I'm here now; I won't let anything happen to you", he whispered to her.She couldn't find any word to say, but her heart was filled with gratitude, the joy that he did come for her, and guilt that she wasn't there when he needed her." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Christian", she said burying her face in his neck." Don't say that, don't".He broke the hug when he felt her grip soften, and her whimpers stopped to see that she had passed out. He pulled off his suit and wrapped it around her shoulder before carrying her into his arms and exiting the room.He met his guards on his way out; they paved the way for him as he walked past with his woman in his arms." Burn this place down, "was the last thing he said before leaving, and they did as he commanded.Gael stood with Blu
He hung up and dropped the phone back to the table with no expression on his face. He loosened the towel and began to dry his body, his eyes stealing glances at Clarisse now and then. By the time he was done bathing, her clothes had been changed by the maids into something lighter. A short free gown. He quietly moved around so as not to disturb her while he put on a baggy black pant and a baggy silky black shirt. He slides his feet into the white slippers before walking to the bed where Clarisse is lying. He stood still with his eyes fixed on her, the only sound in the silence was his fast-racing heart admitting to every feeling his blank face had hidden away, afraid she'd slip away again, afraid she'd be gone again when he met her on that alter, his heart skipped so hard like it was being hit. Her eyes were so familiar, her face couldn't be mistaken, and when he verified her identity, his joy knew no bounds; it was a miracle, a restoration. His belief that everyone would be gone
(5:06 am)Clarisse was the first to wake up, but not in the position she had slept. Her face curled up in a smile as she enjoyed the way he cuddled her tightly from behind. His breath was close to her ears; she could feel it, and his strong arm around her made her feel protected, but her smile soon disappeared from her face, replaced with a puzzled look.' what's this?', she asked in her mind feeling a strong rod poking her butt. She moved slightly, wondering what it was." Stop moving".His deep, hoarse voice whispered, sending rushes through her veins.' what's this? His voice ', her mind was in chaos, her face turned red with her heart jumping around, ' why did he sound so sexy?' she asked, wanting to hear more of it.She slightly moved her butt against it, this time earning a groan from him. When he didn't speak, she decided to make him." What's that? What's that thing poking me?".Her soft, tiny voice breaks his control, her innocent question drives his head.Again, he didn't sa
(13 months later)Blue was bubbling with so much excitement that Clarisse couldn't help but chuckle." Your excitement is above the cloud", Clarisse said and she measured her waist," I know right ", she confirmed and giggled," Our bride-to-be ", Clarisse winked at her causing her to blush " She's my bride, "Gael said behind them, and everyone laughed.Clarisse poked her tongue at her, " everyone knows", she teased," I need to inform you guys again "." Your waist is small, and your hip is big; you have a very nice shape," Clarisse said to Blue moving the tape rule around her." Thank you, but make sure my wedding gown is more beautiful than Elizabeth's "," Elizabeth? The senator's wife?", Clarisse asked and burst into laughter, " yes ma'am "," I'm serious "," I know, you trust me right?"," Sure"," Then we're good, I'll make a stunning wedding dress for you"," I know you'll make a beautiful one but I want the one that's more beautiful than hers".Clarisse laughed, " as long a
" $10,000","$25,000"," $45,000"," $75,000"," $80,000"," $90,000"," $100,000. Going... going..at the count of three, 1, 2, 3", he rang the bell, "sold at $100,000".Blue clasped her hands together, feeling so emotional. That's the smallest amount that her painting was sold, and they're still bidding. She never believed or imagined that her painting would cost that much.Gael grinned and looked at her; his heart felt fulfilled. He looked so happy as more paintings and crafts were placed on display.One of her pants that speaks of undying love that got embraced by nature and death was purchased by Clarisse at seven million dollars.They gave each other a very tight hug when the show was over. " I feel like I'm on top of the sky right now," Blue sobbed, hugging Clarisse." There are beautiful paintings, well done Blue"," Thank you so much".Clarisse broke the hug, " I did nothing, but there are many people over there that you should thank, we'll meet later on"," Sure ", she nodde
( Still flashback)Clarisse's heart tightened after listening to the recorder; she took a deep breath as tears gathered in her eyes. It was a lot for her, listening to a family of hers plotting her death.Christian pulled her closer into his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?".She smiled bitterly and nodded, her chest getting tight and firm, " they were never my family", she said coldly." They killed my parents and now their daughter is planning to kill me"," Would you have gone truly? If I hadn't played this tape", Marissa asked," I would have, I would have agreed to meet her, but where she gets it wrong was thinking I would move according to her plans if she really wants my forgiveness, she'll come to see me, if we have to meet then I'll book a restaurant and I won't go anywhere without telling my man about it".Marissa sighed, " I don't think she'll want you to tell anyone that you want to meet with her "," That's for sure", Ryan agreed," I said I won't move according to her
(Flashback)Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to something she had never noticed or something she pretended not to notice. Realizing which relationship she wanted more and which relationship she never wanted to end, she picked up her phone after prioritizing someone she never wanted to think about or imagine losing.She took her phone and dialed Alice's contact; after concluding to meet, she went to take her bath and get dressed before calling Ryan.Praying and wishing he picked, she felt so relieved and happy when he did after the third rang," Hi, Ryan"," Hi", he replied coldly," Can we meet, please? I would come over"," Okay".Her heart ached when he coldly hung up; she swallowed hard, accepting the coldness, and with more desperation, she headed over to his place. After the short drive, she arrived at his house and took a deep breath, exhaling heavily before stepping out of the car.She knocked on his door and he opened the door." He
( very early the next morning)Alice walked out of the house and headed over to where Marissa's car was packed; she opened the door with Marissa's key and reached out for her bag; she opened Marissa's bag and took out the pistol.She smiled heartily at the gun, " beautiful", she uttered and threw the bag back into the car before closing it and heading back into the house.Her stomach grumbled as she stepped in; she went straight to the kitchen counter to make herself a cup of cornflakes and tucked the gun into her back pocket before heading to the room where Clarisse was tied.With her head banging and spinning, she slowly flickered her eyes open to a bright room that nearly blinded her eyes. Slowly, she adjusted her sight to the room light and raised her head to see Alice munching on something; when she took another spoon, she realized it was flakes.Her body felt numb, and she couldn't move; she looked at herself to realize her situation." Oh, you're awake", Alice said, grinning wh
Alice smirked evilly, " Tonight? Can we meet tonight?"," Sure"." Please don't tell anyone that you're coming to see me, especially Christian"," And why that?"," I did the wrong thing towards him also, he'd hate it if you tell him you're coming to see me and he might not accept"," Christian isn't that type of a person, he holds no grudge"," Still," her voice became sadder, " I want you to forgive me and also help me ask him for forgiveness; I'm just scared he'd refuse you to come and see me."Clarisse sighed, " don't worry, I won't tell him", she accepted," Oh, you're such a darling! Clarisse, thank you so much, I'll definitely repay this kindness"," It's okay, let me go and get ready"," Yeah, sure, I'll be expecting you".With that, Clarisse hung up." Hi", she went back to Blue," Hi, done?"," Yeah, yeah I'm done, just that, I need to head out "," Hope everything is okay?"," Yeah sure, I just have to meet someone, I'm sorry we have to cut the conversation, and the moment
" If you're sure she'd fall into the trap then no issue, what do you need, tell me"," I'm going to lure her over to a place I know, I've checked every place in that area, there's no surveillance camera in that area so we don't have an issue getting traced or finding us"," Okay...once you lure her there, what next?"," That's where you come in"," I'm good with knife, I just need to stab her right ?".Alice smirked, "No, there's something else you need to do".Marissa furrowed her brow as she listened to the rest of Alice's plan before smiling satisfactorily and nodding in agreement with her plan.************Clarisse and Blue burst into laughter as they kept chatting and giggling." Honestly, it's so nice to have someone who gets you like no one"," I know right, I've never imagined that I'd be in this situation ", Blue said smiling," I guess no matter how dark this world can be, there are people who are different and special ","And I'm lucky to have met some of them ".Clarisse
On a pair of jeans short and a blue crop top, Marissa sat on the floor with a glass cup of alcohol in her right hand. She sat on the floor with her elbow resting on her knees, staring blankly into space. Her heart felt heavy, her eyes felt tired, and her busy mind kept replying to memories, not just any memory but her memories with Christian.Remembering when he first got enrolled into the school and how they bumped into each other, spilling her milk on her shirt, how he became Ryan's best friend and automatically became hers as well.She remembered how she always stared at him, how handsome his cold face was, how she was always eager and impatient to see him again the following day, and when it was weekend, she'd suggest hangout, which he never agreed to, but she and Ryan would suddenly show up in his house. She chuckled when she remembered the expression he'd give them." Ah", she heaved a deep sigh.Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to s
Marissa stormed into the sitting room in a rage and threw her purse onto the couch angrily." Hey, you good?", Ryan asked moving on the couch," Of course not, I'm pissed", she said walking towards the fridge to get bottles of alcohol," What happened? Did someone upset you?"," More than upset me"," Who?"," Don't worry, just be my drinking buddy for this night", she said placing the bottles on the table." Tell me what happened, if not, I'm not drinking anything"," Ugh! Don't be childish, I called you to come over so that you can be my drinking buddy".Displeased to hear that, he sighed, " I will be your drinking buddy; I just need you to tell me what happened."Unable to keep it from him, she said fuming, "It didn't go as planned, the plan was to ruin the show, ruin the show dresses but she couldn't even get that done, she's so useless"," What, are you talking about?",Fuming, she said, "I want to make her pay, make her know her place, and not touch what belongs to other people.
