Tiffany's Desire 114
My hands were flipping the pages of a vital document I was reading, I wasn't totally bored but it felt like there was something else I should be doing. I haven't yet discovered the key to making me get my mind off the whole issue, particularly what my father told me days ago. "Kill or be killed?" I said suddenly "is he kidding? I don't think so"Do I?I took a deep breath and looked out the window, I was sitting in the cozy sitting room, surrounded by the trappings of a luxurious lifestyle. Tiffany was nearby, also sitted nearby, diligently working on her assignments, if this was one thing she does diligently , it was her assignment. I studied her intensely, very happy she wasn't going to be a mother soon. I chuckled loudly without knowing and she caught me looking at her."Hey, why're you staring?" She asked, her gaze was fixed."Oh, it's nothing. You do your thing."She looked at me for a while not believing then she went back to her assignment, then suddenly she posed a question

I was in the midst of doing random things, checking out all the corners of my room for cobwebs. I was determined to make my room so clean, my mind was still preoccupied with scattered thoughts.It was then Tiffany came in, she didn't say anything as she saw I was doing the cleaning but I knew she was amazed. She just smiled and went to sit on my bed."How are you doing?" She asked then didn't wait for my reply, she spoke again. "The weather is good today, good for a picnic and swimming, what do you think?""It's good for seeing the movies, not picnic." I answered coolly."Movies, you say. Well, what movie? I mean what kind."I thought of one random movie I knew she hadn't watched, it was a slasher movie. "What about Scream?""Ooh, that movie! I've watched the last season but not the new one.""You should watch it." I said, not caring to give anymore details.Just when I thought she would leave, she mustered the courage to voice her deepest fear - Her words hung in her throat, heavy wi
Tiffany's Desire 116
My heart raced as I opened the door to find two police officers standing on the doorstep. The racing continued but I steadied my palpitating heart, I couldn't allow them know I was scared, still I was wondering what could have possibly brought them here. Trying to remain as calm as ever, I asked, "Can I help you officers? What brings you to my house?" Even as the words came out, I could only imagine they noticed my fear.They wasted no time in getting straight to the point. "We need to question you and search your house, Mister Luciano," one of them replied sternly.I could feel my heart sink as I realized the seriousness of the situation. They wouldn't just come without any information they got from someone. "Is there a reason for this? May I have your search warranty. " I asked, my voice trembling slightly."Let us in." The one I think as the boss said with authority."But then, can I see the warranty you've got to search my house." I repeated, maybe they didn't hear me.They push

The phone rang for the second time in a roll but I ignored. I didn't quite know what to say to my father, in the midst of everything that was happening, I couldn't bring myself to speak to him. There were more pressing matters at hand. I ignored his call, not interested in his speech today.I pulled a stop in front of the mall and watched Tiffany get down, she didn't even care if I followed her. I knew she would have called me, but didn't just want to show she cared. We entered the groceries store, the atmosphere vibrant and energetic. I headed to the fruit section, while Tiffany moved towards the vegetables section. As she moved through the room, she handled her tasks efficiently and I knew she'd make a scrumptious meal for dinner. Regardlless of how I was trying to fit in and not act so cold, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of yesterday and the encounter with the police. It had been a close call that would have added to the problem at hand, but luckily, I had managed to sl

MASSIMO'S POVI dropped the bottle on the table and reached for another bottle of bourbon. I needed to keep drinking to get away from everything happening.I could feel the stone-like lump in my chest with each deep breath I took. I reached for the cigarette and took a draw. I puffed out the smoke after a few seconds and repeated the same thing over and over again.I hate my life because there's never a moment of peace. It felt like I couldn't do anything else or be anything other than what my father wanted.He was in control of my life and he made sure everything went his way. The plan to swap my mother failed and now, I couldn't stop thinking of what his reaction would be.I know he'd want to tach me a lesson for attempting to do such a thing but what I couldn't get was why he'd feel okay doing such things.Despite all these going, Luciano was still blaming me. I couldn't think of a better way to explain things to Luciano.It felt like he was never going to believe me again which b

Gladys took hastened steps to where I sat and before I could say anything, she slapped me."You piece of shit," she cussed panting hard.The guard walked to us immediately but I looked at him and shook my head. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."He looked like he was unsure of my response but I gave a nod insisting that it was okay and he could leave."Go ahead," I told him again. "I'll take care of her."He gave a nod in response and walked away through the door. I watched him walk away before turning my attention back to Gladys who stood there like a statue. Her brows were furrowed and her lips formed a grim. You could tell from one glance that she was upset and mostly, frustrated.She kept panting hard like there was more to say and I knew she came for a reason."To what do I owe this unpleasant visit?" I asked her and a furrow appeared on her forehead."Unpleasant, really?" She looked at me and smirked wickedly. "I promise you've not seen one bit of unpleasant.""Just fucking calm

I stood up from the chair and kept pacing the room back and forth. I couldn't think of anything else other than my mom.I sighed audibly as if I was waiting for something. Actually, I was trying to think. I was thinking of ways to speak to my mom to know what was happening. If truly my father found out about the swap plan then we were in deep trouble.I walked to the table and grabbed my phone from the table. I looked at the screen and there was still no confirmation text from my mom.I tried calling my mom and just waited for the phone to ring.I placed the phone on my ear waiting for her to answer the call when I heard my father's voice."Look who we have," he said and I swallowed hard."I just—""I hope you know the coronation is in few days and your step sister will be taking over soon.""I don't fucking care!! I just want to talk to my mom. That's all i'm asking for.""Sounds like a lot of request," he mumbled and I paused.I knew what he was trying to do cause he always had his

I unfastened the seatbelt as I got closer to the school parking lot.I was a few miles away from the actual parking lot cause I didn't want to be seen yet.I turned slightly to the left side mirror and watched Luciano drive in. He parked in the lot and took a moment before he turned off the ignition.Tiffany was sitting on the passenger seat beside him. I had no idea how I felt looking at her but I felt somehow irritated. She looked calmer than usual but my concern was Luciano. He wore an expression that wasn't expressable. I could barely tell what was going through his mind."Sweet son of a bitch" I cussed.He should be like a normal person not like a psychopath. Sometimes I feel like he still loves Tiffany and another, I feel like he wants her dead. Sometimes I feel like he is liking me and some other time he would shot me dead.I hated it so much to not be able to read his mind. I scoffed when I saw Tiffany lift her hands and took off her seatbelt.Due to the distance, it was impo
