An old friend asked for sex in return of help, the plan to sell a car ended with her being scammed. Melissa was completely broken. "Love, you know what we're facing. It's time to swallow your pride and approach Mc for help," Paula started as they sat crossleged on the bed facing each other. Melissa hesitated, her fingers nervously tracing patterns on the pink blanket. "Mom, it's not that simple. We're divorced for a reason, I'll definitely be happy to have him back, but I can't make him know I'm completely down and need his help. I can't go back to him like this..."Paula's eyes glinted with a steely resolve. "I'm not going to force you into this. But this is about survival, Melissa. Sometimes, we have to make difficult choices not for anything else, but because it's necessary."A heavy silence settled in the room filled with the perfect fragrance as Melissa reached for a pillow. "If I do this, Mom, it's not just cos we need money. It's about mending something that might be beyond r

The sun dipped below the Parisian skyline, casting a warm glow on the quartet as the group of lovers strolled down the bustling Champs-Élysées. Mc Ethan, the tallest among them with a penchant for adventure, walked hand in hand with his girlfriend Miriam as their smiles made the world way brighter. It was what they'd been waiting for, they had planned to make that vacation the best they'll ever have and it looked to be going just excellent. For some reason, Michael, Mc's best friend became the more reserved of the two, sharing quiet moments with his girlfriend Alexa. Mc had always been quiet, gentle and preserved but he went to Paris to have the best time of his life “I'm not having any dull moments in this place” he repeatedly said at different times. "Can you believe we're actually in Paris?" Miriam exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Even a child could tell these adults were so excited about something.Mc flashed a grin, wrapping his arm around her. "I know, right? It

“Wait, do you hear that?”“Yes I do.”“Alexa is having a fight with Michael again.” Mc and Miriam stood up from the chair they sat in as their attention was taken with the harsh words from Alexa to Michael. “You're cheating on me! You don't let go of your exes? You don't?”Mc and Miriam, didn't expect that to happen, at least not when the vacation was just starting to be interesting. They sensed the tension and joined the scene in the bedroom. Mc's eyes darted between Alexa and Michael, while Miriam wore a concerned frown."Hey hey guys you need to calm down alright? Tell me. What's going on?" Mc asked, sensing the charged atmosphere. Alexa was panting, she held up the phone, showing the screen of Michael's phone to everyone as the message displayed for all to see. "Ask your friend Michael here. Apparently, he's been doing alot of sexting with his ex girlfriend while we're on vacation."“Oh shit!” Michael exclaimed“I just feel so stupid right now.”Miriam gasped, her hand flying to

“This is still not the worst vacation in the world. I mean, we did have some fun before everything went sour right?” Mc said while arranging his clothes neatly in the expensive bag he kept on the bed. “Yeah, I wouldn't regret having this awesome experience with you my love.” Miriam kissed him on the forehead and went to the bathroom with a towel tied around her. “You better stop walking around me with that towel like that. I wanna take it off anytime you pass by.”“You take it off and you get hypnotised ha ha.”“Your beauty has already hypnotised me a couple of times, I think I've developed some kinda resistance.”“Oh… look who's talking. I let you see one nipple and you want a quick round.”Mc bursted into laughter. “You're a bad girl. I tell you this Miriam, you're a bad girl.”“ha ha… Let me take a shower real quick, then we'll be out of here soon.”“Okay honey.”It was already an hour after and the three friends successfully put their belongings together. Mc and his girlfriend w

The time finally came, Alexa was close to running away. She looked around the bustling airport, surrounded by the hum of chatter, the scent of coffee, and the distant announcements of departing flights.“Please Lord, please…!” She begged for luck. She could only pray that nothing went wrong. “I didn't mean to kill that man. I didn't mean to do it. He harrased me sexually and I kept hitting him out of fear. But who would hear me out? Who would believe me now? All they would say is that I'm a murderer. Oh my God!” She spoke to herself. Her suspicion of the authorities knowing her moves and trying to stop her were proven by a sudden announcement reverberated through the terminal. The authoritative voice over the intercom declared "The airport authorities have been notified that an individual with the name 'Alexa Chamberlain’ is currently under suspicion. We caution against allowing this person to board any flights. Security personnel, please be vigilant and take appropriate measures. Th
