Amy"Yes, she did…" Mrs Garcia appeared behind Ben from absolutely nowhere. That woman has always scared the shit out of me. I wasn't even surprised that we didn't really see her coming, I mean Mrs Garcia was quite average in height, just a few inches shorter than Araceli but Ben is a big man, big enough to overshadow Mrs. Garcia and totally take her out of our view. So now she just walked in on us at the verge of trolling her billionaire ass."With all due respect Mrs. Garcia, But we were all with her throughout, we were all on the same table. I'm sure you saw all of us together and Mariah was on the table in front of us that belonged to the Azariah Hosea." Ben came in our defense but Mrs Garcia was not having any of it. She had a dead bored face looking at us like we're all different shades of cock and bull. I know for sure she didn't really think any of us did it but she was paranoid. Anyone would be, it was a f*cking messed up situation, nobody knew who to trust at this point and
Amy"I'm not a red flag, Amy. Me, speaking my truth out in the open for you to judge doesn't make me a red flag. I'm not my brother…" Mariah held onto my arm with a well calculated desperate look on her face. I took my time to study the beautiful woman in front of me, from her slit eyebrow, to the silver and black rings, to the black knuckles tattoos of what looked like constellations, She definitely screamed her own person and showed that she made most of her decisions herself, she was a full meaning of herself.She wasn't like me. It was not in the aspect of being the richest family in the business world or the fact that she had an incredible amount of assets at her age because we were born in different mangers. It was not About her money, she was just one hundred percent her. She declared who she was so publicly and out spoken while I showed a fragment of my image. I wasn't that brave of a person. I only let my self on display when I was under the influence and made sure others
RachelIt was warm.It felt like the very middle of summer but the sun was setting and I could see the reddish orange light spill across the horizon on the calm sea. The sound of waves carelessly and lazily flapping over each other. My feets were bare on the sand and I could feel the silt in between my toes and that's how I knew this was all in my head. I have been to the beach before and this was exactly how I felt the sand between my toes and I hated the feeling because of how long it would take to get them out. It was the exact scene that reminded me of ten years ago when my mother was starting to pick herself up from the ground with the help of her new boyfriend we all thought was great. He would get us loads of ice cream against my mother's will and take us to the beach where we would play till the sun set on the weekends.That was the memory.This ascertained that it was all in my head and for whatever reason this was happening in my head, whoever was the reason it was happenin
Ben"Babe...I have something to tell you.." I held this off from him for so long that Now, hearing his story on how he was bullied and it resulted in breaking him in a way that broke me. He might be a funny person and he might hate pity but it doesn't change how much he was hurt during the process, you could see hurt flash through his eyes as he tried to prove how much it didn't affect him by showing how much it did.He laughed in between the narration but they were dry and bitter laughters, they weren't those rich, loud and genuine laughter he let out from his very precious debt, they were very much strangled and much more of a cover up. With everything he told me, it made me more sad that I wasn't on a different side but I was the guy hitting him with a stick. I wasn't any different. I wish I could go to my past sometimes and change them, not hurt isaac or not bully and of the kids I bullied back then all because of my unattended insecurities that I refused to face but rather refl
"Why the f*ck do you look like a younger karen and still manage to give rich aunties vibes?" Ricky pulled up in front of the New age Baptist church which was the opposite road to the hospital, he took the road majorly because Amy threatened him that he wasn't going to visit Araceli without her because if he did.She was going to make sure that he didn't have a penis to use at the end of the day. She wasn't going to rid him of his penis of course but she was going to make sure he didn't feel peace down there by trying to punch it every single time she could, she did it before when they worked in the same bar and now he didn't see anything stopping her."Took you long enough to get your ass here, And it's a church, even the biggest if insta hoes dress like this don't give me shit for trying to look like a responsible adult.." She nagged before she got into the cab. She placed her knee length floral custard gown down before entering and it was just an eye scarring sight for me, she was l
Ricky"Justice for the common man?" Amy asked the moment we got into a cab and got out of the parking lot. Suddenly, the sun was hotter than usual and the heat was making our skin crawl badly, or maybe it was just the allegations finally getting to the back of our minds as the reality of tomorrow unfolding was becoming a near reality. I wished for a cold glass of water to wash the anxiousness down my belle but I couldn't complain. We were lucky that we were still able to get into cabs without losing our comfort zone because the public was going to become too familiar with walking criminals soon."It was the only way to put it. It was the smartest move to make considering we might not be able to get a lawyer for our defense, so we probably would be handed over a shitty public lawyer who would rather have us in 50years in prisonment than actually put any effort into our case." I confessed. This was reality, this wasn't a black lives matter movement, this was the plain works of patria
In Ben's apartment"Okay, Ricky...I'm beginning to feel really bad for you right now, I mean, three to one was pretty decent, it could be overlooked as a little slip up here and there but right now you are seven to—""Haa!— Eight, Eight to one, come on. I know you think I'm like a jackass or something but it's 2022, You shouldn't be pissed off when a girl beats your ass, are you sexist or something— or is it misogynist??" Amy drops the pad on the couch and stretched her lean pale white arm to the snack of chips that Ben generously provided for them when he found out they were going at it.One thing was that Ben knew better than to come between them when they were all competitive when they were playing games, and as for the providing snacks part...well he knows his baby and he knows his weakness and his place of unluckiness, and that was Amy.Amy and Ricky have been friends longer than he has come to know Ricky and then Amy, if he didn't know better, he would have said that Ricky and A
"Ricky, go.." Amy said and he immediately wanted to protect before he remembered their agreement and flipped her off with the middle finger.He strolls to the door and swings it open not bothering to ask who was behind the door, but the person he saw made him wish he asked."Araceli??" Ricky said. It sounded more like a question than an actual statement like he couldn't believe she was standing right in front of him, he studied what she was wearing, she definitely didn't look like she slept the night in the hospital with the black flowy blouse she wore and a white pencil trouser that was disturbingly white. You could see the extra money spent on the clothes from the color it gave, she ended it with a pencil black his with simple traps across her toes and upper foot which were decorated with glittery ornaments that decorated the straps.He could here the slight chatter of Amy as she said, "what the fuck was she doing here," because he was equally wondering why she was here. Her hair
"Araceli..""Yandel…Cole…""Sorry for being late your honor.." Araceli said with a confident smirk. All three of them walked in and it felt good, everyone had their jaws hanging down and eyes bulging out. Mrs Garcia was already on her feet about to run to hug her daughter while Amy stood there in tears. Ricky, Ben and Mariah were all on the same row, jaws hanging down in surprise. Emily and Nathan were totally unmoved instead, smiling proudly at their brother in a well tailored suit with Araceli by his side and Cole in jeans and black T like he always wore."And sorry for not being late as you guys thought I was.." Yandel said smiling at the crowd but especially at the man who was in a gray tailored suit and his hair was drawn back and held together by gel sitting beside Alice and Xander. The whole Miller family had a missed reaction but one of them in particular had his eye out of his socket more than the rest."Order court!! I will not condone such an insolent act in my court!!" He
Rachel"The Millers!!!" I yelled but paused again."Wait, they actually aren't the only ones you know…they are actually more of them, the Preston's, even the Azariah and I know all of the Xander's investments and none if it has nothing to do with the news outlets. I have gone through his papers before, his original documents that he had locked in a safe, that's how I knew he wasn't that smart to pull off all that happened," I told him my face dropping. What could Mister Douglas Miller, Alexander's father possibly want from us, that he would need me dead. Whoever this person was, has a good reason to kill me or want me dead but he also didn't make any sense.As for my father, not even I knew of the several women he has gone around with that my mother was very much aware of, but no one knew exactly why he did it. Sleeping with a married man's wife. So Mr Miller could have his reason for doing it, each of the Miller were suspects now and even Alice."Look, go freshen up okay, clean yours
Rachel"Hmm, you seem to like this place a lot huh.. Maybe you could join me, we would make a fun pair…" A familiar voice joked beside me. The familiarity of the voice was enough to spread chills all over my body, at the same time, soothe the burning feeling at the back of my head. It felt like my eyes were open yet closed, I could see her but I couldn't see anything else, just her."Araceli…" I called her name lightly before I felt my chest burn."Am I dead this time, did i make it this time around??" I asked her, looking at her smile so pretty at me, it was almost like staring at my reflection but the prototype. Even by mere looking at her I could see how much different she looked from me, she looked sharper while I was much more blunt on the edges "Isn't that a little narcissistic?? Staring and admiring me when I'm you.." She teased as I rolled my eyes in reflex."There's no way I'm you. I asked before who I was here and you never gave me an answer but now I see the answer clear a
"This is taking too long, we need to check up on him. I mean how long is it gonna take for the police and back up to get here?? Acting like we have the who goddamn day doing nothing but sitting down looking pretty and empty as hell," She looked at her mom hoping her whinig was going to get to her she was going to try and tell her to go in there and ask what's going on."You need to take a chill pill okay, for all we know, he got bigger fish to fry and you going there will just be getting in his way and taking up all his planned tattics and throwing them away. So no, Araceli, you are going to seat your impatient self down and wait till he is back," She continued typing and face timing on Ace's laptop since it was the only laptop available. For the past thirty minutes, she had been trying her best to just sit calm and enjoy the silence and sound of keyboard clicking but it was getting suffocating.It was already passed twenty five minutes and he wasn't back yet and he was yet to contact
Xander"Watch where you are going bro!! F!ck" My shirt had a little of starbuck strawberry shit on me and I knew with in seconds, I was going to start feeling so sticker and uncomfortable.I spilled several curses as I walked from my private gym to Where I was suppose to meet Alice. I don't know why of all places she couldn't just choose some where we could both be comfortable with a little less human interact."Hey, hey...Mr Miller right?" The man who ran into me came back and I held myself from groaning out loud. What the fuck does he want for fuck sake. I'm just trying to get to my meet up hoping I get lucky with her today because she has been acting extra weird ever since Saturday evening we had a fall out. She barely replied my text and after I sent a whole bunch of texts, she sends a cool or fine. It became increasingly over bearing so I decided to come to the gym and put some of my frustration into lifting some irons and honestly, it actually does work.Out of like ten, I was
They were only half way through watching lilo and stitch which Ben has probably watched for the twentieth time in the past four months. He still had the fire to watch it again, which was honestly amazing. Lilo and Stitch was a classic but Ricky was already tired of seeing it and was beginning to get really pissed off at Stitch's voice. It sounded like a really REALLY bad recording from the past, even though it was used as an alien voice, it was still really annoying to listen to.He decided to adjust his position in Ben's warm arms but found out that he had already slept off, and he was the one who changed the channel. Ricky tried to stand up to put the TV off and drink some water but he coiled his arms around him tighter and turned over so they weren't facing the light of the TV. Ricky stretched for the remote and turned off the TV so that they could sleep well.Just a few minutes after he made this life changing important decision as he himself was feeling really exhausted from the
"It's why I'm out here. I came to take him back then I realized that he didn't know me and you guys were not in the hanger so I headed back to the Car to see if anyone approached it. Don't worry about my wound, the cook there helped me clean up my wounds and stopped the blood loss and took out the mic they pull under my skin," He explained further as he stretched his arm. He looked behind me and Mrs Garcia and saw Ace holding a taser in his direction."F*ck...the whole family is actually like this.." He shook his head then decided to crank his neck making a cracking sound into the night."Do you even know how to use a taser?" He asked Ace, who looked at him cockingly."I have watched enough videos and I think lama is still passed out back at home, i hope they find a way to wake her up," He said proudly and I smiled till may brain processed the information that he just spewed and I realized that this boy electrocuted the cat in our household, which made sense why I didn't see the cling
I pressed the gun in his direction and he screamed...literally. I looked at him as his face turned to the palest form od white after pulling such a stunt on him. A click sound echoed in the night night showing that the shell was empty making him breath heavily."That's for keeping us twenty two minutes late," I smirked at him before walking past him making sure my elbow brushed his and walked up to the car signaling one of the guards to help take our luggages from the big SUV that was meant for the guards to drive. She wanted a more elaborate way of moving our things but I managed to convince her that we needed to move secretively without being noticed."That gave me a f*cking scare. What the hell was that about anyways, between you and your mom??" He picked a brown channel travel bag that was one of the monthly calendar gifts to our family."I don't know, years of vex, the fact that she ruined me of all the friends i made here in months, made them hate me and after that, she had the
Rachel"Do you have your bags and passports??" Mrs Garcia asked, holding my hands as we sat at the back seat of her favorite vintage 1965 which she only used for special occasions like when she was invited to Washington to make a speech in a forum that had some of the world's most b important people."Mum...the vintage," I stared at the Mustang and she smiled proudly at it."If not That I would be tagged as a loco puta. I would have named her my third child, she's so beautiful, isn't she??" She said with a dreamy look in her eyes as she looked at the car shining in its glory from the light Cole's private hanger had. The place was empty and we had guards to extra survey the area before we alighted.The place was huge as hell, the tarmacs to the runway lighting, it looked like a full mini airport and it was beautiful and there also happened to be a private restaurant just behind the huge garage that housed the plane. The name was something I didn't bother to read as the food called my
