"Babe, your phone is ringing" Jason said in my head
"Give it to me"
He gave me the phone and I received the call without checking the caller
"Hello, who is this?" I said sleepily
"IT'S YOUR FORGOTTEN BEST FRIEND" Cynthia voice blasted through the speaker and that actually woke me up
"Oh! Cynthia! What's up?" I asked as I was trying to get into a sitting position
"OH! CYNTHIA WHAT'S UP? cynythia mimicked "IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY AFTER RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME?"
"I'm sorry Cynthia"
"You must meet me this afternoon whether you like it or not and you better have a good excuse planned or else, consider two of your teeth broken"
"Are you that furious with me?"
"I'm super furious with you. Do you know what your hot CEO passed through because you left him, or how broken down your sister was? You couldn't even confided in me before you pulled that stupid action and you expect me not to be furious"
On Saturday morning, I woke up due to some noises that were coming from the sitting room, and I reluctantly got out of bed, put on my clothes and went out of the room to check out what was going on.I stopped at the entrance of the sitting room to eavesdrop on their conversation to know whether I could go in or not and I decided not to go in when I realized who they were"So, you're going for the seminar?" Jason's dad asked him"Yeah, I will be going" Jason replied"And I'm really happy that you're back to yourself" his mom added"Yeah, I'm back to myself, because of her""Who?" His father asked curiouslyI started tip toeing back to the room when Jason's voice stopped me"Come out, I know you're there" he saidI squeezed up my face and I was wondering if I should answer him or ignore him when he called my name"Lexi""Yes" I answered and came out of my hiding place"Come here" Jason said
JASON STOKESI couldn't move from where I was when I saw the blood, I just sat down there on the floor, looking between her legs with only one statement ringing in my head"JASON, YOU DIDN'T PROTECT HER! JASON YOU DIDN'T PROTECT HER!...""Jason" she cried "do something"I tried to get up but I couldn't, the blood was much but thankfully, my phone was with me, so I called Tanner"Sir""Get the car ready and come up instantly"We helped her into the car and I sat at the backseat with her while Tanner droveI called my family doctor on our way to the hospital, who picked up instantly"Mr Stokes" he said"Get your people ready" I cried into the phone "I think she is... losing the ba
"Jason" I called "We need to talk""Give me five minutes""Like we need to talk now!"He dropped the file he was going through and looked straight into my eyes"Babe, what is wrong?" He asked worriedly"Mama is dead""Mama? Mama? I don't get it""Mama, my sister's dog. The one I told you about""Oh! I'm sorry""That's not the problem""What's the problem babe?""He was stabbed and a message was written on him. It was the exact statement the lady I told you about said to me""You mean the lady at the club?""Exactly. She told me she isn't going to be nice with me the next time we meet and that was what was written on Mama"He got out of his seat and came to where I was standing"Nothing will happen to you as long as you are with me and don't worry about her, I'm going to find her and bring her to you myself"Jason tripled the security guards that same day and the CCTV camer
One month laterToday was Wednesday, and I've been all alone in the house for the past three days because Jason went on a business trip.I hung out with Cynthia in the afternoon because she was on her leave and we started a new movie since we were through with Jessica.Half way through the first episode, someone called Cynthia"Hi" Cynthia said seductively"You serious?" She asked, curled up her legs and started smiling at her polished nails"Ok""Alright then"She hung up the phone and smiled at me as if she just won a jackpot"Who was that?" I asked"Secreeeeet" she smiled"Why will you be keeping secrets from me?""I was just kidding, that was John""John? Jason's John?""Yeah, Jason's John" she said and seductively put down her phone on the couch "He want me to meet him tonight""And?""We've been chatting for a while now""And?""We met
LEXI TYLERI woke up and found myself tied up to a chair in an uncompleted building, I struggled to get out of it but it was too tight."At last" someone said and I looked up to see a young, very thin girl in rag"Please" I plead"You're asking for help from the wrong person""Please, where am I ?""You're at the final bus stop" she said and laughed "where bitches like you belong to""Am not a bad person" I said while struggling to get out of the chair"You are""I'm not""You are to me. Because once you started messing with my people, you've started messing with me""I don
LEXI TYLER"I need to use the restroom" I said to her"There aren't restrooms here" she replied"Please, I need to ease myself" I pleadedShe unfastened the ropes and led me to another part of the house where she told me to urinateSince the house was uncompleted, there were stones everywhere, so, I bent down in front of a big one and stylishly picked it up the ground without giving her any signs.I slowly pulled down my night gown while still making sure that my grip on the stone was strong, slowly got up and hit her in the head with it at the first chance I got.She fell down instantly and I used the opportunity to get her phone and her keys from her trouser pocket before rushing out of the room.Thankfully, after my sev
Few months laterIt was a Friday, I was home watching a movie when my phone rang, it was Cynthia"Hello" I Said when I picked up the phone"Tell your guards to let me in" she said angrily into the phone"Okay" I hung up the phone and dialled one of their numbersAfter the incident that happened few months back, Jason have been super careful about who come into our house and who we make friends with because of how Stephanie and Dixie almost ruined our lives"You should do something about all these guards with AK 47 moving up and down your house" Cynthia said angrily as soon as she stepped into the sitting room "They freaks me out Everytime""You're free to table it to Jason" I smiled because I knew there was no way she was doing that "And if I may ask you young lady, why are you not at work at this particular time of the day?""Because I called in sick" she said as she sat on a
Five months later"I don't think that I can wear this to the altar" I complained for the hundredth time.I was inside one of the biggest hotels in the whole world, preparing for our wedding that we've been planning for months. A makeup artist was farding my face and I was putting on a very beautiful, long, white gown which Jason bought for $13,000,000 and it was the reason why I was complaining."Mrs wife-in-advance" Cynthia who was sitting beside me said "Your husband-in-advance just loves you too much and he wants to spoil you"I sighed heavily and said "This gown is going to break the record""Absolutely, it's the most expensive wedding gown ever""Done" the makeup artist said and dropped his brush "You look incredible"I smiled at him and said "Thanks""Wow" Cynthia said with her mouth widely opened and her eyes as big as two small bouncing balls "You..."I cut her off by raising my hand in the air "I know you're just going to e
Carmella Hart"Let me tell you something you won't believe" Lexi Ryan said with a sly smile "I and Casper fucked this morning while you're here""I know that is a lie""Of course you won't believe it. I already said you won't believe it" she shrugged "He fucked me inside that room I was given. He was so good. He was screaming the whole time" she whispered aloud"I know that Casper will never cheat on me"Lexi scoffed"And who do you think you're to him?""I'm his wife and the mother of his daughter. I'm not competing with you when it comes to Casper. I know that I am his number one priority""Keep bluffing""We both know that I'm not""KEEP BLUFFING!" she screamed and started hitting me "JUST KEEP BLUFFING! I'VE KNEW CASPER SINCE DIAPERS! I'M MEANT FOR HIM! I'M HIS WIFE!"About two minutes later, she stopped hitting me and said "I don't have more time to waste on a dead body"She opened her purse and brought out a short gun
Carmella HartI heard the sound of approaching high heels and I adjusted my sitting position. My mind was beating a million times per microseconds but I still tried to put on an hard face even though I was shaking insideFinally, the door opened and the person in the high heels stepped inside the room. The next second, the light bulb was turned on and when I saw the person that was standing in the middle of the room, my heart beat stopped racing and I said "How did you guys find me?""Carmmy Carmmy Carmella" Lexi Ryan sang "Urrrhggg, you look really pale""Come and help me out of this handcuff""I don't think that is a good idea" she said and smiled while rolling her eyes "I think you're cuter with the handcuff on""Lexi what are you doing?"She sat at the foot of the bed and looked at me hatefully"You still don't understand what is going on? You're a dummy""Lexi don't be like this""You should have stayed away from my man""Y
Lexi StokesJason tapped me and said "Your phone is ringing""Okay"I checked the caller, it was Cynthia"Hey Lexi" Cynthia said enthusiastically"Hey" I replied soberly"Will you be free tonight? Stud is planning to meet someone tonight in the city and I'm coming with him""Stud?" I asked with a frown"Oh, I meant Cheetah""Okay""So, are you free tonight?""No" I replied and sighed"Lexi are you okay?" Cynthia asked worriedly"No" I replied truthfully"What is wrong"I looked at Jason, he was listening attentively to our conversation, so, I got up and walked to the bedroom"The man I showed you this morning" I said after closing the door"Yes" Cynthia replied worriedly "Did something happened to him?""No but something happened to his wife""His wife? He is married?""He is married. This morning his wife was abducted""What!?""We were together and she walked out saying sh
Casper HartFive hours laterLike a joke, Carmmy's shopping had turned out into something else because her phone was found few blocks away from the mallI sighed heavily and looked at dad and Jason that were discussing the mystery some meters away from me"Casper, be calm she will soon be back" Lexi Ryan reassured me for the hundredth time"She won't. Don't tell me 'she will'. It's obvious she has been abducted""Casper""She is my everything" I said as tears rolled down my cheeks "and I don't have any idea what is going on with her right now""I'm sure she is okay""JUST STOP LEXI! JUST FUCKING STOP! IT'S NOT WORKING""I'm sorry" she said and left me to my pain"Mr Casper" the commissioner of police calledI raised up my head and looked at the commissioner of police. Dad had told him about I and Jason since the beginning of the search"Come with me"I got up and followed him to his office"Can you think of a
Casper HartFor the past two hours, Jason had been talking to me about some important things that I had to take note of as a Manager of one of the Stokes enterprise branches."As a manager..." He trailed off when my phone rang"Sorry""It's okay. Pick it"I checked the caller, it was Lexi. Lexi Ryan"I will soon be back" I said to Jason before heading to Lexi's room. I knocked twice but when there came no reply, I opened the door."Lexi what is wrong with you?" I said concernly and rushed toward her. She was shivering on her bed"Close...the...door" she said slowly"What is wrong with you!?""Cold...close...the...door""You need to see a doctor" I said as I was walking back to the door in order to close it"I know" she shivered "but for now...I don't want to"I walked back to the bed and sat down on it"You aren't looking good. You need to see a doctor" I said worriedly"Stay...next to me...and I will be...go
Lexi StokesOne week laterToday was Friday and we were still with Jason's parents because his mother wanted to spend sometime with all of us. The whole world was still clueless about what was going on and the news about Jason and his illegitimate daughter had been all over the world but everything was going to change before noon on MondayI moved closer to Jason who was deep asleep by my side and kissed him gently on his temple.I picked my phone and sent Cynthia a picture of Jason and Casper because I didn't want it to be news to her.'I don't understand the picture' she texted me back immediately 'The guy on the left is Casper, Jason's twin brother' I texted herMy phone rang immediately and I picked it up"OH MY GOD!" Cynthia screamed inside the receiver "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!"I slowly got out of the bed and went inside the restroom because I didn't want to wake Jason up with our conversation"Cynthia, I'm not" I
Jason StokesCarmella was pacing up and down the sitting room while Lexi Ryan was going through her phone. She wasn't really bothered about what was happening.I got out of my seat when I heard the sound of a car."They are here" I said quietlyCarmella hugged herself tightly and sighed heavily, she was anxious. I walked to her and patted her slightly. "Everything is under control""I hope so" she sighedI went to the window and saw dad walking angrily to the door with mom who was running after him"Let's listen to what he have to say" mom said to him anxiously"No!" Dad barked while not stopping "Not this time around! He went over the boundary""But our granddaughter is involve""Stokes enterprise is at risk too!""Adrian!""ARIANA!"

Jason StokesWe entered the hotel through the second gate and headed straight to the special hall where the birthday party live video was being played."This way sir" the hotel manager said and we followed him. He already knew about me and Casper, so, he wasn't shocked when he saw meLexi Ryan walked past me when we entered the hall and winked at the manager who instantly looked away from her. She blew her chewing gum and said "Cool hall" while snaking her long nails in the air"Thanks ma'am" the manager saidWe took our seats and started watching the live video of our multi million birthday party"Daddy" Carolyn babbled, got down from her seat and started walking to where I was."Hey Lyn" I said to her, picked her up and sat her down on my lap "You haven't wish me happy birthday yet"She babbled something and I assumed that it was her way of telling me happy birthday"Thanks dear"Carmella who was seated close to me started whimperi
Jason StokesOne week laterI was in the closet, dressing up for our birthday party that was going to commence in few hours time when Lexi walked inside the closet with a long, sleeveless, golden gown. She was extremely stunning. She smiled at me while making eye contact with me and I couldn't help smiling back."I'm proud of you as my husband" she said while adjusting my tie and I smiled widerAfter adjusting my tie, she got hold of my wrist and put a bracelet around it"What is this for?" I asked while examining the golden bracelet on my wrist"You and Casper are going out in exactly the same suit tonight with the same wedding ring, I don't want to go to bed with another man""Hmmmm"She smiled "you're too handsome""And you're too beautiful" I put my hands on the sides of her head and slowly kissed her. She moved closer to me but I stopped her before our kissing could lead to something else"They are waiting for us" I
