“Why haven't we had any wedding rituals yet?. " Estelle asked excitedly.“What do you mean we just left a bar." I told them.“What do you mean we just left a bar, is that the rituals of the earth people?." Teddy asked from where he was laying.“Humans, not Earth people." I reminded him.He shrugged and then he barfed.“The ritual of the Tarians and Voneana is that we take sweets before the day of the wedding." Core said.“Like what?.... Candy?." I asked them , I was shocked." Anything like that, could be candies." Kana said. “How come I never heard of this?." I asked nobody in particular.“Pay more attention next time." Teddy said once again." What's that?." Core asked me pointing outside a window towards a doughnut shop.“Pastry shop." I tell him.“Stop!." Kana shouts to the driver.“We're going there, now!." Kana shouted running towards the shop.Diane ran after her and Estelle staggered her way forward.Immediately Teddy stepped out he had to run to a corner to throw up.When he

In a way, I was wrong.I and Diane were about to enter into our car again when the same black car drove towards us.It was Fluer once again.She jumped down from her car and started towards us.“On second thoughts Hans, I'm here to apologize." She tells me.“For what?." I ask her “For leaving you back then." She tells me.I felt a tug at my arm, it was Diane." Baby, do you want to go inside?." I asked her.She shook her head. She wanted to stay. " Hans," Fluer said turning to Diane and eyeing her. “Remember how we were before?." She asked me tugging at my collar.I had to hold her hand again.I was patient with her because I used to know her and she was not just an ordinary stranger.She was not drunk, I didn't know why she was acting this way.“The Fluer I remembered was composed." I tell her.She shook her head." I'm different now. The Fluer you remember was a good girl, now I'm different, I'm better." She tells me." Please leave. " I tell her walking away, I got into the car

Amarà's POVIt was early, too early for me to be receiving calls. I pick up my phone and I look at my screen, it was Hans.Bells started ringing in my head as I wondered if there was a new problem.“Hello?." I said into the phone.“Hi, sorry for calling this early. I had plans for today and I wanted to ask you a question." Hans said. His voice carried no warnings whatsoever. “Hans." I said falling backwards into my bed.“don't you ever sleep?." I asked him playfully.He laughed." What's the question?. " I asked him." Do you know of any priest, one that can coordinate a marriage?." He asked me.I sit up.“Why would you want a priest?." I asked him. Not just any priest, one that had the license to grant a wedding." I'm getting married. " He said.My mouth was left hanging in the air.“That's right... Jeez, I thought it was just a joke." I confessed because I didn't see any rings in his finger, I wondered if he was just messing around.“It was no joke, so?." He asked me." Yeah yeah,

If you asked me I would say he deserved it.Angelo's body jerked as I shot him, I watched how his legs flew at his sides and how his eyes gave a very hilarious expression.I watched it like a stripper would watch her client take off her clothes for her. His dark hair was somehow splattered with blood and his face was almost spotless.I leave him there in my kitchen and I make my way outside holding his gun. The air was cold and winter was approaching. I could feel the cold air biting at the tip of my nose. I walked past the security gate and I saw the black Mercedes. I see that the driver side is empty.Knowing Max, he would be in that car.“Angelo what took you so long, I was about to go in there then I heard the gunshots and I knew you had taken care of the matter." Max said.I wondered if he was drunk, so drunk that he could not even tell between his nephew and his gun man. He thought that it was Angelo. “Uncle Max." I tell him. Resting my elbow on the car, he reached for the gu

Angelo's povIt's late at night, too late for any body to come visiting, so I was wary when I saw the lights from a vehicle flash through my windows.I took a closer look at the vehicle, ut was a Black SUV that was as dark as the nights' sky. I could see the passenger, I watched him walk out of the car.I moved backwards, fearing that he could be some sort of law enforcement that was coming for me, but then he walks over to my neighbor's house.He was no longer in my range of view, I turned my attention to the SUV itself and I saw the man behind the wheels bending to take a look at my house.They were too suspicious for me to just brush away like that. After a few minutes they leave and finally I take a breath. Max called me, he sounded somewhat mad, as he had been sounding these last few days. He asked that we go to Hans'house and kill him. At least I was going to get out of the house, finally. I grabbed my guns and then shove it into my bag, I walk to my car, taking a good look at

Hans'POVI picked up my cell phone from beside me and I walked to the bedroom.(Warning, host is in critical condition) the system beeped in my head one more time. It has been warning me for the past ten minutes.I felt pain everywhere in my body.“Elio I need your help." I say into the receiver." Your Majesty." Elio said.“Can you hear me?." I asked him. " I can hear you Hans, are you okay?." Elio asked me, there was concern in his voice.“I was shot." I tell him(Host is in critical condition) the system beeped this time more louder.“Where were you shot at?." Elio asked me, I could sense deep worry in his voice and I felt bad for putting it there. “Everywhere." I tell him.“Is there any way you can help me?." I asked him." The bullet wound be stuck inside you by now, I'm looking at your body scan right now on my screen and you're bleeding internally." Elio tells me.“I'm dying." I tell him. " Gosh.

Troy watched as the armoured car drove into the compound, everyone was inside enjoying the party, and he had come out just to make sure that everything was set for his come back.He thought that they had invited him over to the party out of goodwill but instead, they invited him here just to humiliate him. He felt pissed off.“Boss, everything is intact." The driver said opening the van and climbing down.“Let me see " Troy said and the security guard climbed down and opened the back of the van, the few people that were outside were watching in curiousity, wondering what was going on.When the security guard opened the van and they saw the large piles of money sitting in the back, they were frozen in awe.“He's so rich." They said amongst themselves.“The charity has begun sir, people are submitting their cheques." Teress said running to Troy, when she saw the money at the back of the armoured car, she stopped running and a wide grin found it's way to her lips.“I didn't want to bring

Vivienne could not see what was inside but she was walking out of the venue to catch some fresh air when she saw Troy's driver and he pointed her to where Troy's limousine was parked, she just came over to say hello.She knocked on the glass window again and the doors flew open, Troy stepped out, his hair was ruffled, she would have understood why if he was in a smaller car but the limousine was big enough…why would his hair seem like it was tousled by passionate fingers.Suddenly Teress stepped out of the limo, her cheeks were red, she looked flushed and shy but there was a contrasting look of lust and desire in her eyes when she look at Troy.“I'll go secure the slot." She said and she left the both of themVivienne fixed two and two together.“Oh my god, were you guys fucking in the limousine?." Vivienne asked, she felt all her blood leave her face and limbs.“What?." Troy asked her and suddenly, she remembered her place, things had changed, Troy was not longer on that level to be

Troy cleared his throat and gestured for the door. “We need to leave now." He said but his voice sounded harsher than he intended. He didn't intend to sound harsh at all. He opened the door for her to pass through.“Thank you." She mumbled as she walked past him, he was instantly comforted by the soft smell of her perfume.She stepped into the limo and placed her hand on her laps where her purse rested, she cursed in her heart for whatever had happened back inside.She saw the look in Troy's eyes that he wanted her and she's been desiring him since the moment they started spending time together, she was stupid enough to think that she deserves the multi Trillionaire.She wanted to apologize but her tongue was heavy, Troy stepped into the limo and shut the door breaking her from her thoughts.She raised her eyes to see that he was staring at her.“Are you okay?." He asked her stretching his hands forward to clasp hers.The sensation of his touch was doing too many things to her, if h

Troy was not surprised that Francis was the one who had hired these hit men to take him down, but he was shocked at the length Francis had taken just to cause his downfall. Troy turned to the viper, he would definitely come back and haunt Troy it he spared him, he pulled the trigger and the man fell to the ground in a loud thud.Troy groaned seeing the bodies in his living room. He took all their guns and put them in a bag and then he gathered their bodies and wrapped them up.When he was done he called some of his men to bury them and the others cleaned up his house, by the time they were done, there was no single speck of blood in the living roo. Their blood was on Francis' hands, he had caused their deaths.Troy had picked up a phone from the pocket of Viper and he held onto the phone, when it was nightfall he sent a message.“Troy has been eliminated." He texted the only contact in the phone and almost immediately, a text came.“I had been waiting all day for this message." The c

Troy stood there watching a couple of men that had already broken through the security gate and they were now standing in his living room. They were seven of them. They were holding automatic guns and their hands were on the trigger, Troy knew that there was no way to run back, one slight pull of their finger and he would be laying dead even before the count of two.He raised his hands up, showing his palms to the assassins.A man, who was their leader walked away from the group towards Troy.The man pulled off his mask and looked around the house, marveling at it's expensive furniture and designs.“This house is worth hundreds of millions, no?." The man asked, he had a heavy Italian accent.Troy nodded his head.The man looked around the living room and pulled out a bubble gum from his pocket, he tore the wrapper and threw it on the floor.He threw the gum into his mouth and began chewing.“We have you surrounded." He told Troy, the smell of strawberry travelled from his mouth into

THREE DAYS LATERTroy stood in his bedroom and from his bedroom window, he looked down to see his driver helping Vivienne pack her bags into the Mercedes G class that he had gifted her, he watched them for quite a while and before Vivienne entered into her car, she stopped to turn around and her eyes fell on exactly to the window where Troy was standing.He wondered if it was a coincidence that she had just turned to look or she knew that he had been standing there all along. She smiled at him in gratitude and he smiled back, she got into the car and the car drove off.He didn't feel anything at all as he watched the car drive off, it was as if he had gotten over her after helping her out, his soul had ridden itself of the load. He moved away from the window and stopped in front of Teress' room, he wanted to knock but he just brushed the thought of only for him to turn around and find Teress standing at the end of the hallway.“Good morning." She greeted him.“Hi... I was going to k

It was morning. I woke up a little after dawn. I went out for a run and when I got back, everybody was already up. We were in my house in New York... All of us. My mum, my little brother, my elder brother Kai, my lovely Ará and me... All of us. “Good morning." I said to my mum.“Where's Ará?." I asked nobody in particular.“She's preparing breakfast." Kai said. I headed for the kitchen.I saw here there, handling some pots.“Good morning." I said to her walking into the kitchen.“Good morning." She said Smiling. “I woke up and I didn't see you, I figured you must have gone out for a run." " I did. “" Why don't you join me in making breakfast.“" Are you sure you don't want to have a cook or maybe just a house keeper and the house keeper can employ people to come and do some stuff. ““Remember what happened with Rosé..., Remember?." " I remember. ““ I don't want something like that to repeat itself and plus, I'm able to do these stuff on my own. We can just call peopl

It was late afternoon already.“You're my mother..." I whispered to myself, I figured that if I wanted anybody to hear me, I had to speak louder but I couldn't find my voice. “My mother's name was Bridgette, was it her you gave... Was I the baby?." I asked her..., My mother, my real mother. Looking at her I didn't know what to say, we all didn't know what to say. We all looked ashen and spooked. I wasn't the only heir after all, I was the child of a lovely affair. Something in me spurred, gave life to light. She was my mother... I felt as if I was another person entirely, I didn't feel like my name was Darwinson Charleston Andersons.... No, I didn't feel like I had a name but I felt that I had a past a, strong past and there was a strong love that brought be to the world... Not the strange type Bridgette and Anderson had, finally I could call them by their first names... I whispered it out “Bridgette Andersons and Anderson Cooper Andersons." It sounded good to my ears. Noa is

Once again I was making lunch while Kurtis spoke to Solo. To keep my mind away from what was happening, I decided to bury myself in poems, poems that nobody had heard.'I know but I don't want to believe, that there is no such thing as love, I know it's true that love dosent exist but If believing in it is being foolish, then I want to be foolish, if being foolish is being happy, then I want to be foolish it's not everytime in your life that you have to be wise, sometimes you know what happens next, so why not close your eyes and fall blindly into love even though it comes with heartbreak(s), at least you were once happy, at least you were once foolish. ''I have the mind of a ninety year old but the heart of a three year old, I love desperately and I care quietly, I miss calmly and I wait patiently, I want truly and I think fastly, I think deeply, I listen, I understand truly, I judge with reasons, I'm calm, my heart is stupid, my mind is mature, I won't compare myself to a lonely fl

I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty. I went to the sitting room. Solo was already dressed and he was drinking coffee.“Hey baby, why are you dressed so early?." I asked him." Mr Kurtis called. He's going to have a meeting with us today. He wants us to be there earlier today. “" Okay.... When will you be back?. “" In the afternoon. “" Good bye. “ I told him and he dropped his cup on the table." I love you sweetie, take care of Kai and yourself.“ He told me. I watched him leave.I went to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and I had my bath. I was still dressing up when I heard the knock on the door. Did Solo leave anything in the house that he should have carried. I tied a towel around my chest. I went to the door, I undid the locks and then I turned the door open, standing there was Kurtis. He walked past me.“Jeez, Solo just left, what if you met him here."“I saw his car leave, I knew he just left, I was outside."“ For how long?." I asked him.“N

I woke up and made breakfast for Solo. While Solo was still asleep, the phone rang.“Hello." I said into the phone.“Hey baby." Kurtis's voice cut through the phone.“You called this early." I said above a whisper."I've been awake since dawn, I didn't know if would be so early, I'm sorry. ““You don't have to be, I was just worried that Solo might have picked the call." " How are you doing?. “ He asked me. “I just made breakfast... I'm good, how about you?."“I miss the hell out of you." He told me“I miss you too."“How about I come and pick you up today. My yacht is out in the ocean."“I don't know about today..." I started to say but he cut me off.“Solo is going to be done with his work soon, in two days time. I can't hold him here, surely he's going to get any contract, I can arrange that but I don't know how valid that plan would be, we literally don't have time on our hands, I've been thinking about it for so long and it's chewing me up. “" I thought about it too. “" I

I went home. As if Ana smelt it... As if she knew that I had done the abominable, she smiled a very fake smile.“Gael, you're back." She said to me. It wasn't Mrs Garcia or Miss Gael, it had changed to Gael, only Gael. But I felt good, I felt alive, I felt in love again almost reborn... I was born again. Gone was the old Gael and come was the new one. Not that they both of them had too many distinct features they didn't, they had too many in common, but this new me was the manifestation of the reborn Gael, the one that was formerly lost in being loyal... The one that had to quench her fire to fit in a type of lifestyle. “Yes, I'm back. “ I told her... My voice seemed foreign to me, it was much more bolder than the former, I was much more confident. “Hey Kai, how are you doing?." I asked Kai. “Momma." Kai said giggling. I took him from Ana.“Thank you Ana.“ I told her. She walked out of the door without saying anything. I was still in the bathroom having
