Clarisse watched Christian heading towards his room after arriving from the party and contemplated on whether to tell him what was on her mind or not but he noticed she wasn't heading to her room and stopped on his track. He turned back to her and saw her looking at him," Is everything okay?", he asked," Yes"," Something you want to tell me?"," N...yes", she hesitated, " I'm sorry "," Sorry for?"," For what I did to the dress", she said and heaved a sigh expecting some harsh words as she braced herself," There's no reason to be sorry for making it more beautiful ", he said and went inside his room leaving Clarisse who was disappointed.She walked briskly to his room," Why? Why are you not angry? I ruined the dress and I'm sure it cost lots of fortune..."," Yes it does ", he cut her short and walked towards her.Wondering what he was up to but before her curiosity settled in he flicked her forehead." Ouch", she winced as she up at him, she was taken aback," Silly girl", he s
Patricia was waiting patiently for Alice's message in the sitting room, anxious about the outcome of their plan. They've viewed Ashley's party as an opportunity to execute their plan. She thought of how they had planned and what the outcome could probably be as curiosity and anxiousness were eating her up.The plan was for Alice to drug Christian during the party, after gaining the limelight and causing the people to bully Clarisse and drive her out of the party, she'd take the initiative of keeping his company so as not to feel bored and make sure she drives Clarisse out without Christian's knowledge so he wouldn't go for after her. After that has been achieved, she'd find a way to slip a pill into his drink, he'd get dizzy and turned on after taking the drink and she'd escort him out of the party with the excuse that he was drunk and take him to a private suite where they'll have sex. This is the main plan, what comes afterward is an assurance and a triumph card to Ferdinand's.She
Standing and staring out of the window, she wrapped her arm around herself as she felt the chilly breeze, it was getting windy like it was going to rain, her face was blank but her heart was heavy, and her mind was occupied with lots of thoughts.' I want to be strong, I have to be strong', she said as she recalled every event, none of it was pleasant, all bitter and worse memories, her life had turned upside down right from the moment she was told that her parents were dead, after the funeral she couldn't remember the last time she had a smile or laugh heartedly, she remembered when her clothes get tighter and when her foot wears cut, she has to walk around barefooted, put on tattered clothes. Her cries from the beatings, the maltreatments, the words that cut deeper than sword, her first wedding day that was a memory she doesn't want to remember, the night her virginity was taken violently, her cries and agony that night, her pleads and screams that tears her apart, how she lost her
Woo!Feeling the buzz from the beer, they let out a loud cheer and scream of excitement. Their operation to snatch the cargo ship was successful, the goods that were worth millions of dollars were now theirs. More bottles kept losing their caps along with the deafening music playing." Hey guy!", one of the men shouted, " Stop! The boss is here", the guy who looked half drunk shouted and the DJ quickly turned down the music.They quickly stood in attention as they saw the man who seemed to be in his late forties walk into their midst with his hand tucked into his pocket. They bowed as he stood before them, accompanied by his guards, he raised his left hand as they gestured for them to stand straight. " Good job guys, for the success of the operation", he began, " now we've shown every organization that we are not to be looked down upon, what you've done today is not just some snatching but reclaiming the power that belongs to us", he proclaimed loudly, his solid voice was loud enough
' how is this possible?', he said in his mind looking shocked.He knew him, he knew him to be in the business world, knew him to be a very powerful tycoon, but what is he doing here?The man squatted to his level giving him a proper view. He clenched and unclenched his fist before looking at him in the eyes. One of the guards wanted to hit him to look away but he stopped him." He might have crossed his boundary, but he's still the lord here", he said to the guard before turning back to Damien, " I'm stressed", he said wearily, " and I don't like to be stressed"," Are you..are you.."," Why did you do it?", he cut him short with a question," You should know better before touching someone else's belongings"," Belongings?"," Hm", he nodded, " and because of that you stressed me, I have to come down here by myself, do you know how stressful that is?"," I didn't take .", he nearly choked upon receiving a deadly glare from him, " your.. your belongings", he stuttered. He bit his lower
Clarisse yawned and stretched her body as she stood up from the bed, she went into the bathroom to ease herself and wash her face after brushing her teeth. On getting back to the room she met Blue tiding the bed. " Hey Blue", she hurried to stop her, " I told you I'll lay my bed by myself", " Good morning, ma'am, and I'm sorry, but this is my duty", Blue said with a smile, appreciating her kindness. " No, laying my bed is not your duty and I'll appreciate it if you'll refrain from doing it", " Tending to your needs and making you comfortable is my duty ma'am, telling me not to do it is like taking my job from me", " You said making me comfortable is your duty, but laying in my bed makes me uncomfortable; you can do everything, but not this one, please?". Blue was taken by surprise, she hadn't worked with anyone like Clarisse, she is used to being overworked and her bosses complaining that she didn't do her task very well but that wasn't the case with her, she had never met
" But he's your husband and you might be worried if you did not see him", " Why would I be worried, if anything, I'm glad I don't have to see him this morning ", " Are.you.sure", Blue looked at her closely, smiling but Clarisse scoffed, " I'm serious, we're not in that kind of relationship", " What kind of relationship?", " Relationship to be worrying about each other ", " But he worries about you", " Ugh! What do you know? "she replied, leaving Blue again with a puzzled mind. Just then they heard a knock on the door and they both turned toward it, " Who's that?" they both asked at the same time, and The chief maid walked in. " Good morning ma'am", " Good morning, Mr. Clinton," Clarisse replied, and Blue stepped aside. " I'm sorry to have disturbed you, but Master forgot this document at home and I'm supervising the maids in tidying the quarters and this file contains classified documents", " He can get it when he comes back", " I would have suggested that,
" Do you know how much I fantasized about you, how much I want your touch all over my body, the feeling of your tongue, and the feeling of you deep inside of me", she said licking her lips, groping her body and putting her hand into her thigh, gently putting her finger into her entrance and moaned out.Clarisse finally arrived at the company, she let out a long breath and stepped out of the car with her heart racing and her palm getting sweaty. The more she looked at the huge company and the cloudy sky, the more the negative feelings lingered.She had a strong bad feeling and her breath trembled, ' today is not going to be good '.She stepped away from the car and after taking a long breath she entered the building, confused about where to go as she saw different people walking up and down, she decided to approach a woman at the reception." Good morning ma'am", she greeted politely," Good morning ma'am", the receptionist replied with a smile, " you must be Mrs. Lush"," Huh?"," Tak
(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 laugh
" $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.
