We chatted for a couple of more minutes, before she went back up to her room, and I was finally able to fall asleep on the chair.I woke up around nine in the morning, and there was a sweet lingering aroma in the air.I followed the small and found out that it was coming from the kitchen.There, I saw that Britt was making breakfast.She looked at me standing in the doorway and smiled, and I couldn’t help but smile back.“Rise and shine,” she said, stirring something in a pot.“What’s for breakfast,” I asked and went and stood beside her.“Just some pasta I’m making,” she said.“You know I would’ve made a much better breakfast, you should’ve let me cook,” I said, and we both laughed.“Well, you’re at least going to stay for breakfast right?,” she asked.“I really don’t think I can,” I responded, but just then, my stomach let out a huge growl.We both laughed as we heard this, and I realized I’d been defeated.“Okay now I’m definitely not going to let you leave, not until you’ve had so
The next day came faster than I expected. Time seemed to move fast and I appreciated it.I just wanted to be done with all this unnecessary romance, so I could have time to focus on other things.I had a lot of things I needed to do concerning my business.Getting a building for my company, contacting Stephen Johnson, foreign exchange and finally, employing Logan.There was so much on my plate, and to be honest me going out with Melissa was simply, wasting time.I was dressed pretty normal, I wore a baggy hoodie as always, with some baggy jeans and kicks.I left the house around two in the afternoon that Saturday and I hopped in my car and left.Melissa had already emailed me her address, so I knew exactly where I was going.Moving forward I would bump into her more often, her father and mine were dealing in some business together.I sped across the road in my car, the sun roof was always removed.I loved the way the wind blew in my face, even though most times my hair would end up be
When Melissa heard this, she smiled widely. “Bye mom,” she said. “You better be a good girl, okay?” Her mom responded, and she nodded in agreement.And then her mom walked back into their compound, and the gateman locked the door behind her.With her mom finally out of the picture, Melissa turned and faced me.“You know that was a dirty move right, I told you I didn’t want to meet your parents,” I said and gave her a straight look.“Well, she insisted. And it’s not like she doesn’t like you anyway, hehe,” she responded and skipped toward my car.‘She wins this round,’ I thought.She finally got to the front of the car, and squealed in excitement.“Oh my god, Malcolm, is this your car?” She asked.“Yes it is,” I responded. I walked toward the driver’s seat and opened the door with my keys, and she hopped into the car.“How can you even afford something this expensive?” She asked.“I’m rich,” I responded and started the engine.I revved the engine loudly before I began to move, my usua
I wasn’t too surprised by it, I knew Melissa as the type who was very forward and going after whatever she wanted.I kept my cool and kissed her back, I wrapped my arm around her head, and the other around her waist.We both really got deep into the kiss, and after almost a full minute, I pulled back.When she looked into my eyes, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.I simply smiled back and said nothing.As if on cue, the Ferris wheel began to move again and soon, we were back on the ground.We walked back into the car, and I drove her home.She was quiet throughout the ride, but not because she was angry or anything, because she was content.‘So after my whole makeover and everything, I still didn’t even get a compliment,’ I thought to myself.Well it wasn’t like I was trying to look good for her anyway, I wanted to make looking good my lifestyle.When we finally got to her house, I parked at the usual place and escorted her to the gate.When we were finally about to part ways she
I picked up the phone and spoke.“Logan, I was just about to call you,” I said.“Oh really, weird,” he said and laughed.Even though he tried to keep the tone as friendly as possible, I could tell something was off.The way he laughed, his voice sounded like he was in trouble.I sensed something like this the last time we spoke, but I denounced it as nothing.And now there I was having that feeling again, something was definitely wrong.‘I’ll hear what he has to say first, and if he doesn’t bring up the issue, I’ll have to get to the bottom of it myself,’ I thought.Logan was my friend, and what kind of friend would I be if my comrade was in trouble, and I did nothing to help.I wanted to let him know that if something was bothering me, he could tell me.“So what’s up, why did you call? Do you need something?” He asked.“Logan, is something wrong?” I asked.“What do you mean Malcolm?” He asked, trying to hide his emotions.“It’s obvious that something is off with you, tell me what’s w
After we finished eating, I packed the dishes and took them back to the kitchen.The cleaning lady was still there so I politely asked her to help us do the dishes.She nodded in approval and I commended her for a job well done, and she smiled heartily.I then went back to the outdoor lounge and spoke to Logan.“Well I know it wasn’t much, but I personally made those sandwiches. What do you think?” I asked and smiled.“Actually they were very nice, it’s not like making sandwiches is a big deal though, but you did good Malcolm,” he said and we both laughed.I was glad the mood had lightened a bit, that was my intention exactly when I brought the food.We chatted about some non business related stuff a bit more, and soon we were totally relaxed.As I saw that we were both calm and in good moods now, I seized the opportunity to ask him what was wrong.“So Logan, dude what exactly is going on with you?” I asked.“Well Malcolm, I got fired,” he said calmly.It didn’t come as a surprise to
The second arc begins and the story takes us to the halls of the Ruby mansion, where a lone figure is seen making her way across the grand, brightly lit room.That person is none other than, Mrs Alice Ruby.She swings open two large doors when she gets to the edge of the hall, bringing her into the personal workspace of someone of unknown origin.He sar across the room at a large desk, and was seen writing something down.[Stepmom’s POV]‘This feeling, it’s appalling. It’s the first time I’ve tasted defeat from him in so many long years. Consecutive losses at that,’ I thought.The thoughts danced endlessly inside my head, and as I made my way across the large halls of the Ruby mansion, I had only one thing in my mind, revenge.I got to the edge of the room and swung the large oak doors open, and I was brought into an office where i could see a lone figure, at a desk at the end of the room.That lone figure, was the illegitimate head of the Ruby family, my father, Mr Anon.I made my wa
[Malcolm’s POV]I found myself checking in at a hotel, but not to spend the night, it was for my meeting.A meeting that should’ve come way earlier, but for some unknown reason, perhaps of fear of me, or fear of my step mother, had been avoided.Either way, it was a long time coming, and as I paid for the room, I went in and prepared myself to meet up with the criminals, my henchmen as I often referred to them as.After I declined my phone call with them, I’d arranged for a meeting with them, and here I was.It was the evening of the day I’d met up with Logan, and I chose to meet up there, because I didn’t want them to have any information of my whereabouts.It was kind of ironic however, my house address could clearly be seen on the magazines I had my face published on, but I guess my estate’s security was well to do.I waited patiently in the room, rocking my usual face mask and hoodie.‘Come to think of it, are the media allowed to just publish my face in a magazine, without my kno
