She sniffled and got down from the bed, her body felt healthy and strong, she looked at where she just stood, it was so soft, big, and comfortable. She had not slept on such a bed for years and she didn't feel aches or pain in any part of her body like she also feels, except that she was feeling so hungry.She took a look at herself and saw that her clothes were changed also." Did he...take my dress off?", She asked and walked out of the room in a flip-flop.

She was overwhelmed with guilt as she stepped into the house, she didn't know how to face her but she also wanted to let her know that she was so sorry. She proceeded to Alice's room, her heart beating so fast, afraid she'd open her room and find her crying or feeling sad but she was going to assure her that she'd get her back what was rightfully hers but opening the door slightly, she peeped and saw her daughter dancing and doing a tik tok challenge.Patricia sighed. ' I'm glad she's having a good time', she said in her mind and closed the door.

    Clarisse pushed him away as she jumped up, her heart was racing and she felt uncomfortable to be that close to him but she immediately regretted it as she began to think that might have upset him and what if he beat her up like Victor did.Christian reached out to her just then and she jumped back trembling, dodging her face with her arms, this act surprised him but then he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.She must have suffered some kind of abuse to have reacted that way.Clarisse brought down her hand slowly when she felt nothing and saw him smiling at her," What's wrong princess? Why do you jump? I don't bite", he said and moved closer to the dresses.She was surprised he didn't hit her, and she became curious about what his deal was." I'm told you refused all the dresses, is there none that's up to your taste?", he asked and looked at her, " tell me what you prefer, and I'll bring down every designer here till you find your choice "," Umm..thanks, but.., I want. my dres

She walked into the house carefully, afraid that she'd stain the wall, even the wall screamed wealth making her feel inferior. The luxury cars, beautiful garden, and the heavenly and suffocating environment were nothing compared to what was instead and she ended up gasping before she could restrain herself.' how can someone have a whole paradise in his home?', she said in her mind and her eyes wandered around, ' these people are no doubt powerful and wealthy, if a family can have all these inside a living room, there's no doubt that they're very wealthy, billionaires if not trillionaires', she nodded a

    Clarisse strangely felt her heart melt, heavy at the same time, she smiled with teary eyes as she stared at herself in the mirror. She looked so beautiful in the new dress, she didn't even think it would fit her like this nor did she imagine she'd ever end up wearing a new dress, it wasn't oversized, it wasn't dirty nor shabby, it was beautiful, well fitted that she couldn't help but like and admire it.There was a time she desperately wished for one, a time she thought she'd be a Cinderella that a prince would come for, wishing for a new dress, a shoe for her soar feet but those hopes vanished, those wishes became an unreachable imagination but here they are again, it felt so different this time, so unreal that she doesn't trust anything, not even the moment she put it on.'

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.

    ( 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

    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

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.
