She gently raised her head to look at who it was and her jaw dropped to see the last person she expected, he was getting seriously by the rain, drenched and his wet hair made him look so hot that she gulped down but when she remembered what happened minutes ago, a feeling of anger took over but what he was doing makes her confused and speechless.

" What are you doing?", the words managed to come out of her mouth,

" Hey princess", he called smiling, " hiding away huh?",

" What are you doing?", she asked again but he smiled and replied,

" Are you okay? Ari?".

Blue gently placed the cup of hot tea on the table for her as she bowed slightly.

" Here's your tea ma'am",

" Thank you so much", she appreciated and walked towards it, she carried it gently and blew air into it but her disturbed mind could not let her drink it yet.

She hates Christian and thinks he's a person who's manipulative and above all, crazy, but she can't get it out of her head, two events that make her s

    After Clinton left, Clarisse resumed mopping Christian's face and while doing it her finger brushed the tip of his lips sending shivers down her spine. She paused and took a closer look at his face.' Even though he's sick, he's still looking handsome ', she said in her mind taking her time studying his captivating face, his closed eyes enabled his long eyelashes to be seen, his moderate nose, his well-shaped lips, the one she was tempted to touch.Her heart was beating so fast as she remembered what they felt like, she gulped nervously as she felt chills all over her body.' what am I thinking?', she regained her thought and quickly withdrew her hand, ' he's not a good man, he's like others', she said in her mind and made to stand up but the sudden grip of a strong hand on her wrist startled her." Ha", she shouted and looked at him frighteningly." Stay, stay with me", he said with his eyes still closed, and for seconds there was dead silence." Was he.. sleep talking?", she asked n

    As he flickered his eyes open he realized he had fallen asleep while pretending. He wanted to move but felt some weight on his right hand and looked to see Clarisse sleeping peacefully on his right hand. She seemed to have fallen asleep also, smiles appeared on his lips as he watched her sleep like a baby.He gently pulled his arm which felt so sour, and carefully placed her on the bed properly. He smiled as he pulled the strings of hair away from her face and tucked them behind her ear, he wanted to peck her forehead but restrained himself, he couldn't risk her waking up to that and giving her a wrong idea, he should work on gaining her trust, not give her more reason not to.He stood straight and went to the bathroom.Clinton was about to enter his room when Christian walked out of it, Clinton immediately found himself smiling as the previous night's event played in his head again." Good morning sir", he greeted but Christian walked past him adjusting his tie. He was all dressed to

    Karine laughed at the hypocritical workers in mockery, she shook her head as she walked towards Christian's office. Everyone in the building knew Christian was around, everything was in order, and the employees' whole attention was solely on their work, all well and neatly dressed in their professional mode, busy and working without trying to distract or get distracted, the tension was visible knowing who the man in the building is.He can't tolerate any form of slacking off while on duty unless he or she wants to kiss his or her job goodbye, and none of them wants to take the risk knowing how well they're getting paid. They get incentives for any job well done, supposed vacation to beautiful places overseas if they worked hard and diligently, this happened in the middle of every year.

    Christian relaxed back into his swivel chair and replied to Ferdinand's message, texting back " Stop sending emails, I'm not interested".And then, he sent it and dropped his phone, concentrating back on what he was doing. ' You dare treat my woman anyhow and still want a collaboration? What a joke!', he said in his mind as he typed on the laptop.A few seconds later, his office door was pushed open and someone rushed in causing Christian to glare up at who the rude individual was." Surprise!!", the annoying voice of his younger brother shouted and laughed." What are you doing here?", he asked frowning," C'mon brother, don't ruin the moment, I was just passing by and decided it'd be rude to walk past the palace without greeting the king", he said as he took his seat before him. He was dressed in a white pant, a black T-shirt, a grey hoodie, and black sneakers. His hair was neatly combed, and he looked so well-kept, unlike his rough approach." You're not welcome", Christian said

    Clinton walked briskly to where Clarisse was sitting. She was solely on her own, doing nothing with her hands placed on her lap, watching the doctors and the nurses run up and down as different patients kept trooping in with different issues. The trivial feeling of gratitude settled in her mind as she watched some patients and how they screamed in pain, she prayed and wished them a speedy recovery but soon she was reminded of the night her parents died, before the feelings settled in, Clinton's voice rescued her." Ma'am?", he called as he bowed slightly before her and she quickly stood up," Is she awake?", she asked," No, but she's fine, don't worry about her, I'll look after her, you should head home now"," No I'll just wait here, we can leave together"," Thank you and I'm sorry but you'll have to head before me as Master is waiting outside".Clarisse's heart skipped, " Mr Christian is here?"," Yes ma'am", he answered, " I'll take you to him", he said and led the way.

    " Go on a date with me", he repeated, her eyeballs were raised at him like he had completely gone crazy.A date? With him?Christian is the most unpredictable man, always leaving her speechless and confused.The only word that managed to escape her lips was," Why?"," I want to spend more time with my wife and get to know her more, any other reason there is supposed to be?", he said resumed eating.The rest of the dinner was silent, she was extremely careful while eating, making sure she didn't chew loud so as not to annoy him or make him feel comfortable and didn't eat too much as Patricia always made sure, she'd get beaten if she finished the meal in the plate and called thief if she chew too loud, she'd angrily pour the food away so being cautious while eaten has been inbuilt in her.After their meal, Christian stretched his hand towards her and requested for her phone number," Your pin", he said handing his phone to her but she didn't collect it," What do you mean?"," Your cell

    She leaped in joy and excitement as she entered the room. She had to leave the maids on the veranda as she couldn't display her joy in their presence, and she couldn't contain the joy any longer. " Yes!!", she shouted the moment she got inside the room and laughed out loud, " mission accomplished", she said amidst laughter.She heard one of the maids gossiping and telling other maids about the chief maid and the master's wife rushing Blue to the hospital but she guessed the chief maid must have told her not to say a word about the master's wife being rushed to the hospital. The fact they are not back yet only means that it was Clarisse who was rushed to the hospital, and it means one thing: her plan worked." I pray she never returns," she said and giggled, " now, time to make my life a fairy tale like those in the novels, The Billionaire's Maid Romance," she suggested the title and laughed happily. The title was so pleasant to her ears that she started blushing hard." Time for plan

    Sandra looked around the kitchen as she walked in majestically, she could see some maids cooking while some were tidying up. She cleared her throat attracting their attention but they soon looked away, concentrating back on what they were doing while she walked up to one of the maids who usually took the meal to the master along with the chief maid." Hey", she said as she got to where she was standing," Hi Sandra", the maid replied, " what are you doing here?"," Running some personal errands"," Personal errands?", she raised her brow." Ha ha, just kidding, I'm running some errands for the chief maid"," Oh, is he back?", " Not yet, but he'll be back soon"," Okay, so, what's the message?"," You don't have to serve master tonight, I'll do it"," What?!", The maid was surprised, she stopped drying the dishes and turned fully at Sandra. " Why do you want to do that? You have your own task", The maid asked sounding irritated, ' are you trying to take my job from me'." Yes I have

    ( 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."

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.
