' I knew this place was heaven on earth, if a family house can be this beautiful, I wonder what is left in paradise ', Clarisse said in her mind as she gazed through the window, watching the garden in the compound, it looked so beautiful as she watched from above, its garden of flowers and plants was protected by a glassy wall.

She decided to take a break and enjoyed the view after sowing the dress she had always been working on but the moment was interrupted when she heard a knock on the door. She has chosen not to leave her room afraid to come across any of the family members so her heart skipped hard when she heard the knock.

" Come in", she said blinking her eyes and her breath changing.

The old man who had come to wake her up in the morning strode in a long with some maids.

They bowed slightly before her and she also bowed back unsure of what was going on. They came in with a rail of clothes.

" Good evening ma'am",

Clarisse couldn't comprehend what was going on and how she should be feeling after being complimented for the first time. She gave him a side-eye look and looked away, her chest was beating very fast and the compliment kept ringing over and over in her head.' why is he being so nice? Why did he say I'm beautiful? Why?', she kept thinking." We are here", the Chauffeur's voice broke the silence and Clarisse's heart skipped.' Oh we are here', she swallowed hard but what happened next even got her more confused, surprised and scared. The door was opened with Christian stretching his hand towards her to help her out of the car.' This man is so crazy, she cried in her mind, " Don't worry, thank you", she bowed as she thanked him getting out on her own without taking his hand but he took no offense. He led her into the building.' doesn't the old man say we are having family dinner? Why are we here instead

    " You're not expecting me to leave my woman to follow you, are you?", Christian said coldly," Huh?", Alice stood still surprised, ' did he just call her his woman?', she said in her mind and hated it so much.Christian turned to Patricia, " Ain't you close to your daughter? And ain't you close with your sister?", he asked them maintaining his cool and aloofness." Of..of course, we are close", Patricia stammered getting intimidated," And yet you don't know your own daughter's character?"," Of course I do"," Then how is it so different from what you've said, she's so well mannered, cultured, respectful, and above all, exceptionally beautiful, but it's so different from what you've called her to be", he attacked.Patricia was out of words and Ashley and Sharon smirked.' That's my son,' that's my brother ', they both said in their mind.Clarisse was surprised, she opened her eyes slowly and looked at Christian who was busy defending her.

    Christian stood in front of the window, staring out and watching the rain pour, his mind was occupied, thinking about Clarisse and worrying if she was okay till he decided to go and check up on her. He strode out of his room in a black pant and grey hoodie cardigan and a flip-flop.He stood outside her room contemplating whether to go in or not, or knock before going in. He placed his ear close to the door to see if there was going to be any movement but there was none so he proceeded to go in, opening the door quietly but on getting inside, he saw her quivering vigorously, muttering some words in her sleep and crying.He rushed to her side and had a better vision of her, she was sweating, crying, and shaking forcefully, she seemed to be having a nightmare.He held her palm calling her name softly but it wasn't working and he got confused, she was still shaking so much that he was forced to jump into the bed and pull her closer to his chest, hugging her in her sleep and smoothening he

What's the essence of paying you if you're not going to do your job right", Kyle yelled at the other person over the phone.He was standing in the middle of the living room, dressed in a black pant and a blue shirt with his sleeves rolled up.

    Just as Christian and Clarisse arrived at the hospital, Patricia got a message from her spy, a message that awakened every evil thought in her and caused her to smirk before calling on her daughter to embark on the evil mission. Christian smiled in his mind; he could tell that his grandfather liked Clarisse. Percy is the type of man who loves it when someone is being honest, and he has a knack for knowing when someone is telling a lie. Honesty is his heart, just as challenge is his hobby, he loves throwing challenges to anyone he finds interesting, but his challenges are always a trap. He can't stop wondering why he always makes his dream hard to get. He once had a wish, and he challenged him; it took him eleven years to know that the challenge was a trap and trick, and now he's wondering what this tricky old man is up to. The nurse soon came back and bowed before them, " I'm sorry to interrupt but it's time for him to take a rest", " Sure", Christian turned to him, " we'll be

She felt like hiding in the wall. " How dare you nobody try to play smart with me, do you think I don't know what you're up to?", " I..i.I don't.. know..what you're talking.about", she stammered, " oh really? What was the nonsense you performed during the dinner night, trying to make me seem like a bad mother? Huh?", " But . you're not my mother". Patricia laughed, "Of course, you think I'll want a trash like you as a daughter, eww, I forbid bad thing, if I mistakenly get pregnant with you I'll abort it", she said and spat close to Clarisse's feet looking disgusted, " I can't blame your parents for leaving you behind, you're such a mistake so they can't take their mistake with them".

    Alice smiled in satisfaction seeing Clarisse's expression and when she ran off but Christian felt so disgusted that he yanked his hand away from Alice's and couldn't take her gut anymore. His anger was already getting to the peak and when she suddenly held his hand and smiled sweetly, he felt like stained with dirt.He took some steps away from her, " are you that shameless?", he asked eyeing her," What. what do you mean?"," Even the squirrel and rat have some respect and dignity, being compared to a lowlife animal is too much for you", he said with disdain written all over his face, " the next time you touch me with your filthy hands, I'll make sure they're never in use again ", he said and walked out angrily.He met Patricia on his way, " where's my wife?"," She left that she was coming to meet you", she said and wanted to say more but Christian walked out on her.Alice felt humiliated and was hurt by his attitude and just then a man and a woman rushed to her side."

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?

    (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!

    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.
