From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 94. Desperate
"Fancy running into you here."Cynthia almost choked on her soda when she heard Sandra's voice. The voice that had swept her off her feet. The voice she had completely fallen for. The voice that made her heart tremble when she heard it. "H-hey." She managed to say. "What are you doing here all by yourself? Shouldn't you be spending time with your friends?" She didn't give Cynthia a chance to reply before she went on. "Then again, I'm sure you don't have any friends. Just like back then, you're probably still a lonely weirdo, and that's the reason you agreed to take Chris's job. To while away your time. Am I right?The beautiful but lonely Cynthia was so bored of her ordinary, uninteresting life, so she decided to become a seductress. That way you won't have to be bored, and you can make a few bucks off Chris. It's sad. I don't blame you though. I can only imagine how tough your life must be. No friends, no lover. I mean, after everything you even failed to seduce just one man. I
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 95. The Encounter
"Yoo hoo!" Cynthia smiled and waved at Van, trying to get his attention. Van, who had already spotted her even before she saw him, pretended like he wasn't the one she was talking to. The second he laid eyes on her, he turned and started to rush off in the opposite direction. Cynthia was never one to take no for an answer, so she started to run after him. Just as he was about to get on the bus, she caught up to him and grabbed a hold of his sleeve. "Good morning." She said with a bright smile on her face. "What do you want this time? I'm honestly sick and tired of you randomly popping up out of nowhere and making my life difficult." He had a dry expression on his face as he spoke. "Oh come on, are you still upset about last time? Well don't be. This time I actually have something important to say to you.""Yeah, just like you did the last time too. Just leave me the hell alone, and stay away from Ivy as well." He started to walk away when she spoke up. "Aren't you tired of havin

Van paced around his bedroom, he still couldn't get Cynthia out of his head. There was no way she had been telling the truth, right?His gut feeling kept telling him that somethimg was wrong somewhere, he just didn't know where. Could she really have turn a new leaf and was genuinely trying to help he and Ivy? But if she were, why would she go as far as begging on her knees. If he was the one trying to help someone and they insisted that they didn't need his help, there was no way he would go as far as begging them. Chances are that she would just try to do something crazy again that would no doubt get him in trouble with Ivy. But what if she was actually being sincere? What if she could actually have some information that could help them deal with Chris once and for all. Their honeymoon would end on a sweet note. Still contemplating on whether his decision was a smart one or not, Van got dressed and made his way to the spot she said to meet her. When he came to stand in front of

A FEW YEARS AGO. "Good morning Sandra, it appears we're on the same team for our project." Van said as he sat next to her. "Uh g-goo–d m-morning. I-I l-look forward to w-working with you.""Same here." "S-so I was thinking –""Hey Van! It's time to leave." "Oh okay, I'll be there in a minute." He got to his feet and smiled at her. "See you tomorrow then.""Huh? Hmm." She nodded and he walked off. As Sandra watched Van smile and joke with Bianca, she couldn't help but feel sad. She wished she was the one he was holding, she wanted to be the one he would smile at like hat. Ever since her highschool days, she never had any friends. Her parents were okay, but compared to the other students, she was poor. The only way she was able to attend such expensive highschool and university was because of the scholarship her father arranged for her. She had grown used to being the shadow in the classroom, that one person that no one else saw or interacted with, and she wasn't complaining. Sure

Cassie smiled as she stared at herself in the mirror, finally she had the perfect face she had been yearning for. Ever since that day, since that moment, she knew she would have to do everything in her power to get what she wanted, and finally, she had it. She had waihed five long years for him, and when he finally came to her, she was still never given her chance. The world was cruel to her, too cruel. Then she realized something, if she wanted to have a happy ending, she would have to make it by herself. If she didn't take charge of her life, then rather than what she wanted, life would just give her anything it felt like. Luck seemed to shine down on her when she received a call from Chris saying that he had a very important job for her, and that job turned out to be her Van. She had finally been given her chance, and there was no wayshe was going to mess it up. ★★★"Cassandra Gardner," Van repeated the name, there was something very familiar about it. Almost like he used to
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 99. The Picture
When Van came around, he was in an unfamiliar room. He quickly sat up to scan his surrounding but that was a horrible mistake. "Argh!" A sharp pain shot through his head and his entire body felt weak. He looked down and was horrified to find that he was not putting on anything. With panic shooting through him, Van quickly got off the bed and put on his clothes and he rushed out of the room. Cynthia was nowhere to be seen and Van didn't know if he was supposed to be relived or angry. He was mostly angry at himself for letting her make a fool of him. He knew that it was a bad idea to see her, his gut kept telling him that something would go wrong, but he chose to ignore it, and now he was regretting it. He couldn't recall what happened between them–if anything had happened – but he knew that there was no way that Cynthia would have such an opportunity and not do something incriminating. Probably she took a picture of him and would try to threaten him with it in the future. He wonder
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 01. Released From Prison
The state Prison was located deep in the heart of the city, situated on an island about two hundred meters away from land. It was a facility with maximum security meant for only the worst of the worst. No visitors were allowed, and the inmates were hardly allowed to see the sunlight. It was like Alcatraz, but way worse! At that moment, an elevator had risen to the cell on the top floor. The elevator doors opened slowly, revealing a tall man with an intimidating look on his face. The chief warder. The man was as ruthless as he was fearsome. He stepped out of the elevator and walked into the hall, stopping in front of a cell. "Everest! You're free to go." His coarse voice echoed through out the silent hall. He opened the door and a slender– almost skinny looking –man walked out. "Congratulations. Once you step out of those big gates, you're a free man." Van only acknowledged the man's words with a small nod. If he wanted to, he would have gotten out of prison ages ago. Afte
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 02. A Backstabbing Lover
The loud bang at the door startled the couple on the bed. The man quickly hid his bare body underneath the blanket, and the women, behind her partner. "Who the hell are you? And how dare you barge into m bedroom without any form of curtsey?" He demanded in an angry tone. “You promised to wait for me. You said you would wait for fifteen years, and yet you do this… and in such a little time too.” Van clenched his fists so tightly that his nails tore through the skin of his palm. He felt his blood boil and his nerves were consumed with rage. “Van?” Bianca exclaimed in disbelief. He looked nothing like the Van that was arrested five years ago. He was much smaller, and paler.“You’re back? How?!” Van's lips curled upward into a bitter smile as he recognized the man that was in bed with his wife. "Really Bianca? You're with this a*shole? After what he did to you?" Moses seemed to regain his composure when he realized that it was Van and not some intruder that had broken in. He sat up

93. The Replacement
"Cynthia, it seems you might not be good enough for this job." "What?""So I have made the decision to replace you.""What?!"Cynthia had never failed in seducing a man or separating a couple before, it was what she knew how to do best. Now Chris was trying to replace her. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, you're probably just losing your touch, that's all." Chris said nonchalantly. "Oh and not to worry, I have no intention of collecting the payment I made to you. Consider that as a… bonus for the time you spent.""I can break him, I just know I can!""There is no shame in losing Cynthia , give this one up.""No! I'm good at what I do, I'm the best. Who could possibly replace me?""Funny you should ask," he took out his phone and made a call. "Let her in."Almost immediately, the door pushed open and a slender, curvy woman walked in. "Cynthia , I'm sure you're familiar with Sandra."Cynthia's eyes widened as she saw her. She was immediately filled with nostalgic memories and feeling

92. Not Good Enough
"I thought long and hard about what you said," Macy said, staring out the window. "Jasper is not going to like it when he finds out but, I guess it's worth a try since you said you'll talk to Van." She turned her attention to Ivy when she didn't get a reply. "Hey, did you hear me? I said I'm willing to do things your way now. We can tell Van." "Oh that's awesome. Did you tell Jasper?" "Oh my God, Ivy, did you even hear a word I said?" Ivy only stared blankly at her face so she continued. "I said I know Jasper's not going to like it when he finds out… so that means I didn't tell him." "Oh okay, that's good." Ivy hadn't been able to get the drama with Cynthia out of her mind. She still found it annoying and somewhat absurd that a stranger was completely swooned by a man to the extent that she would go to such lengths. Her words seemed to ring in Ivy's head. 'He doesn't love you.' She had never been doubtful of Van's affection towards her. More recently, he almost felt like an

91. Scheming
When he heard Ivy's voice, he immediately pushed Cynthia off, and shot to his feet. Finally he understood her plan, she must have spotted Ivy approaching the house, so she decided to pull that devious stunt. "Oh wow, I don't think I've had this much fun with a guy in a while. Van, you sure are something." Cynthia smiled, licking her lips, then she shifted her gaze to Ivy. "Oh, you're here. Sorry you had to find out like this but, Van and I are having sex. And it's more than that, he loves me." She giggled at Ivy's frowning face. "Van, why the hell is there a naked girl in our house?" There was no hint of anger in Ivy's voice, but Van could see it in her eyes that she was pissed. He turned to look at Lia and that was when he noticed what she was wearing, nothing. She wore a flared mini skirt with nothing underneath, and a bikini top. "Ivy, it's not what you think." He didn't know if she would believe him, heck if he was the one who saw her with a half naked man, he would have his
