Alice smirked, her stomach bubbling in excitement and anticipation as she hung up the call before turning back to her mother.

" Everything set?",

" Yes, Mum, I can't wait", she cooed. Patricia grinned rubbing her hands together,

" I can't wait to take out my revenge on her",

" Can't believe that nitwit, she dares tried to take what belongs to my daughter; who does she think she is?" Patricia said and scoffed, "She went into a fashion design company? She's so ridiculous, trying to take advantage of my daughter's husband",

" Don't hate her choice too much mum, that is what provides us this opportunity, if she hasn't decided to start working this might not be so easy",

" You're right," Patricia agreed and giggled, " thank you, Clarisse, for providing us this opportunity," she said, and they both laughed.

" If we succeed mum...",

"Hey!", Anthony yelled startling everyone and drawing attention to himself, " what are you doing?", he directed at Antonio, looking so pissed," What does it look like I'm doing?" Antonio replied, eyeing him.He walked briskly to him and took the basket from him, dropping it roughly on the floor." Hey, you better don't ruin the basket and my carrots", the woman who owns it yelled," Didn't I tell you to stop coming here? You said you love to study and Mrs Zaira said she's going to enroll you, ain't you meant to be studying?", he yelled at him," Am I going to read on an empty stomach?", Tonio yelled back at him," I said I'll take care of it"," Who are you to say that?

    Clarisse grumbled as she was back to work the next day, running errands for Hester whom she's now sure that she loathes her. Clarisse was running errands, while Suzanne was calling on the company's heart for a meeting." Where's Miss Clarisse?", Celia asked Hester when the six of them had gathered and Clarisse was not present," I don't know", Hester lies," But you two were working together earlier"," I had no idea where she went," she lied again." Okay then, let's start the meeting", Suzanne said, not happy with the perception she was getting from Clarisse, a perception of her not being responsible and diligent." Good morning, everyone", Suzanne began, "We all know how the new contract we signed, we'll be producing outfits for a show Lye's cooperation is hosting."...Clarisse jogged back to the department and did not meet Hester," Please where's Miss Hester?", she asked one of the employees that was present," Check her at Miss Suzanne's office", the worker replied, and she hurr

    He watched both sides before crossing the road with his grip around her wrist, pulling her along with him to the restaurant. Clarisse was short of words; she kept being dragged along, looking so confused and guilty. She felt so grateful for what he did for her, but she wasn't expecting him to come for lunch so soon; she indeed promised to treat him to lunch, but she had no savings account, nor did she have any money on her and Kyle wasn't giving her any chance to disagree.He sits happily opposite her and calls on the waiter." What would you like to eat?" he asked, grinning at her.Clarisse cleared her throat nervously, " First Mr. Kyle.."," Kyle, call me Kyle".There isn't time to argue with him; the waiter is here, and she has no money, " there's something I should tell you; why don't you dismiss the waiter first?" she said quietly to him." We can discuss whatever the matter is after eating," he said and turned to the waiter, ordering what he wanted, and asked Clarisse to state w

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!

    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.
