Chapter 4: The Riches World
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Expensive cars worth millions kept pulling up in front of the venue, one of which Alice alighted from in magnificent glory, dressed in a black short gown, tight and showing her curves and cleavage, and a black stiletto, her smooth and black hair was left unpack, falling over her shoulder, her neck was accompanied by a silver necklace and diamond earrings, and her fingers clutched around her purse, she looks so breathtaking and every guys and guards she walked by turned to take another look at her, drooling and tripping. She was a very beautiful lady.
She walked into the venue, looking through the area full of heirs and heiresses. The party was made for elites only, sons and daughters of millionaires and billionaires, and the venue was decorated accordingly. The venue was spacious, the tables and chairs were well decorated and arranged neatly, and the aroma of expensive meals filled the air, along with juices and alcohols of all kinds, the decorated area adorned the sprawling garden, a display of opulence that matched the grandeur of the occasion. " Hey Alice!". She heard a female voice call out her name with giggles and turned to see her friends, she smiled and walked majestically to their table. " Thought you were going to miss the occasion?", Dani said grinning, " Not for anything," she said, giggling. One of the attendants came forward and poured her a glass of red wine then stepped back. Alice looked around the place filled with a cacophony of laughter, music, and conversation. She could see some people pairing up, meeting new people, getting contacts, and gaining connections. " But why are you late?", Thalia asked sipping her whiskey, " That stinky trash delayed me", " Let me guess, Clarisse?", Thalia asked, " Who else does she call that", Dani said, " She calls Victor trash also", Maya laughed saying, " Speaking of that, he has been staring and grinning at you since you came", Dani drew her attention to it, " Ugh! Do you have to tell me that, I hate his gut", " Who doesn't,? That sex offender". Dani quickly covered Thalia's mouth, " No one can hear you, his father paid millions to keep this from the public, and everyone already forgot what he did, he's now a known billionaire in the country", " Everyone except me, spending a few years in prison is nothing", gritting her teeth, Thalia groaned, " Heard he never did that again", Dani shrugged, " Of course, that almost ruined his life, he spent some years in prison, he's such a loser", Alice uttered before sipping her wine, " But it didn't ruin his life, people barely remember now", Thalia said, " It's now his past so let's forget all about that", Maya tried to change the topic, " He's indeed shameless to act like nothing ever happened just because he served some years in prison; his smile disgusts me; what were your parents thinking when his family tendered a marriage plan? Ugh! If it's me, I'm going to kill myself" Thalia gulped down her whiskey in anger and disgust. " It was unthinkable for me when my Dad came home telling me that Arthur's family offered a marriage plan and I'm going to be marrying that loser; I wanted to cry." Maya laughed, " I'm picturing your facial expression when you heard that", " It was horrible", " He has always had his eyes on you, everyone knows of his obsession over you", Dani said, " isn't that why you were the first person he requested to meet after getting out of prison?", " That was creepy and annoying", " Alice ran away to Italy immediately after she heard that", Maya said and they all laughed at her except Alice who didn't find that funny, " It was not funny", " I love your tricky and smart move though, marrying off your cousin instead of you", Dani applauded, " You should have just declined the offer actually", Thalia suggested, " I can't, my father's corporation needs every support and connection they can get right now for his project, which is the main reason for me attending this event, we're about to enter some trouble", " Going broke?", " Never", She replied firmly, " just need some hands to push the project forward", " You already have Victor", Maya pointed, " Not enough", " Not enough? ", " The project is worth trillions, it's international, construction, resorts and planes, the budget is quite huge and we need investors", " Then you'll need billionaire's connections", Thalia said, " I know right", " But would it be easy? The best way is to get married to one of them, and right now, there are five invisible billionaires, the richest elites in the United States. How will you get married to one of them when you're secretly dating Ramses?", Thalia asked, " I even forgot about him", Maya remembered, " Forget about him, he's just a millionaire, I'll deal with him later so tell me, who are the five invisible", " Okay, the number one and two are older people, enough to be your father if not grandfather...", " Enough, next", she cut Thalia short, she did not have time for stories, they were a 'no go area' for her, she's too young and beautiful to be married to someone that'll soon die, " Number five is married, number four is engaged...". Alice groaned relaxing back on her chair, " and the third one?", " You don't wanna know unless you'll go for 6 to 10", " I need the top five, who is number three", " Number three is Christian Charles", " Christian Charles?", The three of them said at once, " Yes, Christian Charles, the one that is rumored to be an imbecile", " Ewww...", Alice's face furrowed in utmost disgust," me? To that guy drooling out spits? Over my dead body", " They are rumors", Thalia tried to convince her, " Rumors? Have you seen him before? He hardly attends any public gatherings, and do you even see him here? His mother was once interviewed, and they asked her if the rumors were true; do you know what her answer was? She said, and I quote, ' ain't the disabled humans?", Alice scoffed, rolling her eyes in disbelief. " She's right though, ain't they humans", Thalia glared at Alice already getting pissed, " Never said they're animals but it's not for me, why is he not married then", she said and crossed her legs, " Honestly, I'm curious about who you're going to end up with". Alice turned slowly towards Thalia, her eyes mocking her and letting her know she's nothing to her, " I'm going to end up with someone greater than your father". Dani and Maya could feel the tension in the air; they knew Alice and Thalia ain't that close, and Thalia didn't really like her, and anytime they had an issue, it was better not to interfere. " We'll see", Thalia smirked. " Isn't that your bride-to-be?", Klaus nudged the smiling Victor, " Of course, isn't she beautiful?", " Of course, Alice is a very beautiful woman". Victor gave him a side eye causing Klaus to laugh, " Calm down dude, she's not my spec", " Of course, she's too expensive for you", " Ouch! That's rude", " That's the truth", " Anyways", he dismissed it, " why is she not coming to meet you though?", " Can't you see?", " That?", " She's shy", Victor grinned while saying that, " She's shy?", Klaus laughed, " Mehnn, see the way you're blushing, are you sure she's shy or she's avoiding you?", " Of course not, you need to see the way we kept meeting eyes", " I didn't see that, she's barely looking here", " You know nothing about women", " That's true, innocent me", he said feeling proud of himself while Victor eyed him. " But wait, something comes to my mind, what if she ends up not marrying you?", " That's not possible, her family accepted to give me their daughter and they only have one daughter which is her so...", " But I still feel like you should have asked and confirmed", " You think too much Klaus", he said and finally turned to his best friend, " there's no if I will marry her, she can never get away from me, I'll bring down the mountain, hunt her, stalk her, kill anyone that lay their fingers on her, she has to be mine, mine only. And in the next two days, she'll be mine, even heaven is in approval of it". He grinned ear to ear at the thought of marrying and having her all to himself, the thought made him on top of the cloud while his friend shook his head in pity at how obsessed his friend was over a woman.

It was finally the day; Clarisse quickly did her chores so she could get ready for the wedding. She woke up as early as possible, and with the help of her colleagues, she was able to finish the chores early, and they helped her pack her few belongings. She was looking so excited, finally breaking off from prison called home, and from Patricia's claws, happy and bright days seemed to be smiling at her. She closed her eyes as she felt the makeup brush dancing on her face. " Dad, Mum", she called in her mind, " thought you had forsaken me, I'm sorry for having the thought of you hating me, I know you're watching over me right now, your daughter is about to get married, I'm finally leaving this dungeon, I don't know what my future says nor do I know what it holds, but I believe I'm finally going to have the cause to smile, have a deep sleep and rest, and I hope my husband is handsome", she giggled in her mind causing her to smile. Patricia scoffed on seeing her smile, "Can you haste
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 6: Worst Wedding Night
The wedding was finally over; following Victor to his home, which was just a few steps away from his family house, she trailed behind him like a shadow, silent and submissive; the air was heavy with a sense of dread, and she could feel her heart beating like a caged bird. Her gaze was fixed on the floor, afraid to meet his eyes, for fear of what she might see in them. Victor halted when they got to the sitting room; he pulled off his suit and smashed it hard on the floor, yelling loudly and startling her. His face was a mask of anger, twisted into a snarl of hate. His eyes blazed with a furious intensity, like two coals in a dying fire. He loathed his new bride with every fiber of his being, resentful of the marriage and the trick pulled on him, he felt stupid and humiliated. As he led her into their home, he felt his rage rise like a tidal wave, threatening to wash away any shred of humanity that remained in him. " When do you plan this?", She could hear the hatred in his voice
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 7: You're not alone
Just as the family wanted, Clarisse became invisible; she doesn't go out from morning till night, and the only time she goes to fetch food is at midnight, knowing that's the time with the highest probability that she wouldn't come across any of them. She avoids Victor the most, sleeps all the couch every night, and vanishes into the store room very early in the morning so he won't see her as he ordered, she would come out of the store room or closet after she confirmed he had left for work and when it's 12 in the night, she switched off all light as instructed of him so he wouldn't see her when he comes back. She kept living like this for about two weeks until one night. A night she would never forget. Victor was having a nice time in the club with Klaus, enjoying the feeling of the women's bodies around him, he was having a blast when he sighted a figure that resembled that of Alice. He pushed one of them off him and quickly stood up, following the figure whose arms were wrapped aro

(A month later) The Percy family stood around the hospital bed; Ashley sat beside their grandfather, tending to him and changing the stockings. He was rushed to the hospital due to a heart attack, and his son and grandchildren all stood beside him, looking sad. " How are you feeling now?" " Very bad, I feel like I'm about to die", " Stop saying that", Chris and Ashley said almost shouting, " You're not going to die, and stop scaring us", Chris mumbled but he heard, " It's the truth, and let me see my grandchildren before I die", " There's no way you'll see your grandchildren before you die", " Gael!!", They screamed his name and Chris hit him hard behind the neck, " Ouch! Why do you hit me?", " Say something like that again and I'm going to break your head", " Not like I'm not telling the truth", he grumbled, "At least let me attend my grandson's wedding before I die", " I'm always ready to get married, grandfather; mum is the one delaying".

Clarisse's eyes flickered, moving slowly on the bed, her eyes opened to see the white ceiling, and the smell around was familiar, she looked around to see the drip being passed to her." You're in the hospital", she heard a feminine voice say, " Fainting around on the street like a homeless cat, I don't know what rumor you're trying to spread, that we're maltreating you?", Bree said irritatedly. Clarisse turned to look at her, she was the only one present with her in the dimly lit hospital room.Bree wanted to say something when the doctor came in." How are you feeling? Mrs Arthur?".Mrs Arthur? That sounds odd and a reminder she's married to the Arthur's family which she doesn't like." Can..you...just call me... Clarisse?", Her weak voice said," Oh, okay, how are you feeling? Clarisse?"," Weak, I feel so weak"," That's understandable, you've shown all symptoms of Malnutrition and that's not good considering the position you were in?"," Position? What position?", Bree asked mov

One of the maids looked around mindfully before entering the Lamborghini car, slamming the door carefully, she bowed after sitting beside the woman reeking of wealth and authority, sitting next to her in a privilege she might never get in her lifetime again." Good afternoon, Ma'am"," Good afternoon, how's it?"," They've changed the woman your son is getting married to"," What?! What do you mean by that?"," Apparently, their biological daughter turned down the proposal of marrying your son, ma'am".Sharon scoffed and laughed, " I'm damn sure it's because of the rumors, no offense, that makes it perfect, I was never in support anyways, thanks for your hard work"," But"," But?"," Yes ma'am, he's still going to marry from their family"," What do you mean?"," I told you they've changed the daughter he's marrying"," Oh yeah, I forgot you said that which other daughter do they have?"," Mr. Ferdinand's brother's daughter, he's her new father since her parents died"," From the inf

" Huh? What happened to your dress?", Ashley was surprised to see her mother's dress changed, " but I must say, this one looks better and more beautiful, who's did it for you?", She asked admiring the dress," My daughter in law"," No way!", She chuckled, " wow! Can't believe that big head's wife-to-be will be someone with a skill, a nice skill"," I was surprised too", she relaxed back on the couch, dropping her purse beside her and kicking the heels off. A maid quickly came forward to pack it and take it to the room where it belonged." But why is your mood sour, is she not beautiful? don't worry, your son is a heavenly god, his handsomeness alone is enough so worry not, they won't give you ugly grandchildren"," It's not that"," Then what is it?"," I was angry when I saw her"," Why?"," The way she looks broke my heart into pieces, I was so angry that I wanted to yell at her and ask why is she not taking care of herself"," I don't understand"," I don't know, what did that fam

" Hi laws", Patricia waved at Sharon but she rolled her eyes in disgust. She whispered to her daughter, "Had I known I'd have come and pick her up by myself and doll her up, what is this?", she said referring to the lonely lady at the alter," I can tell immediately she's not their daughter, their daughter is not even present here"," I don't care if she's present or not, I'm very angry right now", she whispered.Clarisse stood at the altar, stood blankly at the flower in her hand. Not like she's throwing it to anyone, who would want to catch a flower from a woman like her, a woman who's getting married to another man just in few days after her divorce? She sighed dejectedly, trying hard not to listen to the murmurs, though there was nothing new, it just hit differently. She knows they're laughing and pointing at her oversized wedding gown, and her oversized heels and probably also gossiping about her divorce and shamelessness. Her eyes welled up in tears, why is her life full of p

( 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!

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.
