SOPHIA — I could not process what I had gotten myself into. Like, how did I just accept an offer I knew I couldn't fulfil? Just to escape death. What's the point of living when I can't afford a meal? I gazed at my wristwatch and realized it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Upon noticing this, words could not express how excited and happy I felt because it is time to go out to fetch something to eat. I had been feeding on garbage for the past week. As I walked out of the small kiosk store where I pass nights to the street to get some garbage for dinner, I glared around to see if the road was empty just so I could walk out of the street. This was because I could not afford to take the disdainful glares I receive from people whenever I walk out of the street because of how I look these days. I had grown thinner and more dirty. As I noticed that everywhere was quiet, a smile crept onto my lips. My stomach had been buzzing out of hunger. As I went to a restaurant where I u

YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al

SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I

YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few

YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
