**Lauren**I decided to go to the dining room for my meal later that evening with Damien's help.'Good gracious, Laura. You finally decided to eat dinner together tonight' she commented.'Well, I think that's a good idea except for the fact that Christain is gone. He would have loved to see her here' Damien replied.I gently settled on my seat, somewhat disappointed Christain is absent. I had expected him to be here, I quickly brushed the unhealthy feeling aside.'What are we having for dinner, tonight?' I asked.'Some Basmati rice, Cole slaw and chicken wings.' she responded. The aroma hit my nose right after. It was pleasant enough.'How is it possible you know how to cook this well? If you don't mind, I'll like to take some lessons from you''I definitely do not mind, Lauren. Once you're ready. I'll always be here' she grinned, metals also clanking as the dropped on my plate.'Thank you...'Everyone finished the meal at the same time. Dora was left to do the dishes while Damien bro

****Christain****Do you realize the gravity of the action you're about to take, Christain' Dora queried for the sixth time in two minutes.'I know, Dora. It's going to be very temporary because Right now, I do not have an alternative.''Send your men there.''I already tried that. She chased them away, threatening to call the cops if they don't leave her space. Audrey is hell bent on seeing the end of me and because he can't get to me, directly. He's trying to use the people I care about to get to me. This is the only safe place I know. Where I'm assured they'd get the appropriate protection. I'm also sending Aiden here once he's back on his feet' I pronounced.'Sending Aiden here isn't a bad idea.. it'll make Lauren stick her ass to this place but Tiffany... That girl has a huge crush on you, Christain, Laura is someone you've had something with. Don't you think hatred will ensue between the two?'.I ran my hands through my hair, rethinking my decision again.... 'I can't do anything
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir She's here... Tiffany is here
****Audrey****Fright, restlessness and failure to eliminate Christain after several attempts sickened me. It definitely wasn't me, it should all be blamed on the incompetent ones I dared to employ. Every freaking time, they always come up with clumsy excuses to back up why they were unable to fulfill my wish. I slammed the papers I was reading on the table. Rumors has started going round about his consistent attacks and the media, citizens are starting to get suspicious of me. I had to cease every attempt for now, till the rumors dies or maybe till I get another opportunity to strike.'What's the News about the chairman, now?''He's planning a meeting with his lawyer in few days. He's ready to rewrite his will, according to how he wants it' I gnarled my teeth, latched onto the messenger's collar angrily. 'Be damn specific! How many days is the 'few days?!''In seven days sir..' he immediately responded. He choked on his breath, his hands holding mine as his pleading gaze met mine.I

Fifteen Hours Later.**Christian***We sat across each other, dispersing ourselves with hostile, disdainful stares for minutes. The hatred was intense. His reason being I'm the real heir to the Forbes Consortium and my reason being he's trying to device whatever means to eliminate me. If only he had welcomed me with sincerity, love and treated me like one of his own, we wouldn't be at logger heads this way.'So here we are, Mr Christain Forbes. What do you want to talk about?' he sarcastically retorted.'You already have an idea of why I decided to see you, dear brother. I know everything.. All of your attempt to eliminate me and I'm proposing you stop, right away'.He let out a mirthless laughter. 'I don't know what you're talking about, Forbes. Why would I want to eliminate the real son of the man who took me in his bosom for years' 'Audrey, I'm no child. I know everything. Three days ago, it was probably you went after my nurse, trying to gun her down using one of my enemies, Gabe

****Lauren****For the rest of the day, I heard nothing from anyone. Neither Damien, Dora nor Christian came into the room to see me. I struggled to get into the bathroom, let my sense of touch guide me till I was able to settle inside the water filled tub. It helped a little bit. It was the third time in a day I'm taking a shower. I really wished none of them blamed me for acting so crazy. It was all over my head and my feelings actually got the best of me. Damien will also understand if I tell him this, right?A short knock resounded from my bedroom door..I quickly scurried out of the tub, concealed my nudity within the confines of the towel and went outside.'Who is it?'. 'Dora.. Am I permitted to come in now?''Sure, you can'She dropped something on the table. 'Allow me to help you to the bed?'I nodded and Within seconds my ass landed on the soft surface of the bed. Then, she placed something in my palm. I touched it, studied it's edges and body. 'That's your phone, Lauren. C
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir The reveal
****Christian****My father had called for an impromptu meeting in his office. He promised it's going to be short, brief and straight to the point, relentlessly urged us all to be present. It was an hour past the time agreed and he's yet to show up. Audrey and his step mother were also present, awaiting his arrival. We said nothing to each other all the time we were together. It was okay by both parties because As much as I didn't want to associate, they weren't ready to as well. As if in line with my thoughts, he came in, accompanied by two other men.'I'm sorry I made it late' He apologized firstly before slumping on his special chair. Linda approached him, embraced him in a hug and kissed him slightly.'I thought you were going to wait so we can come together' my father whined, his thumb caressing her face.'I had to do something honey. I promise to make up for it...' she winked.I scoffed inwardly, simply irritated at how calm, sweet and holy she was trying to appear in front of m

**Christain**I stooped low enough to pick the papers which was on the floor. I skimmed through it and noticed everything was on the paper was scribbled down with a pen. With the detailed content of the letter still unknown to me, I decided to address the present beings.'What's all of these about?'I noticed their hesitance to say a word. My curiosity heightened, my thoughts deepened and the need to find answer to what was really happening whelmed me over. 'You should all return to performing your various tasks' I spelt out my order before disappearing into the seclusion of my office. I laid out the papers on my desk and just as I was about to go through it, Donna made an unexpected entry. Her face twitched when she saw me on seat like someone who's down to earth displeased to see me. 'Not today' I muttered under my breath, brought my attention back to the unattended papers but as the little devil that she loves to play most times, she distracted me.'How come you didn't tell me yo
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir They Ambushed us
I hauled myself out of my seat, hastened my steps so I wouldn't lost her. Unfortunately, as I stepped out the door, I realized she was no where to be seen. I motioned for one of the guards that happened to be in the hallway at the moment, then asked if he saw what way she took. He was as puzzled as I was. 'I walked in only few seconds ago sir. I didn't catch her' he mentioned I let out another frustrated groan, momentarily regretting why I employed her that day when I should have just let her leave, she'd succeeded in being such a pain in my ass. An abrupt call got my attention and was able to let my mind drift from the current weariness of the situation. My wateriness replaced with enthusiasm when the line went dead. This was a good news after all. Aiden Palmer is getting discharged today. I scrolled through my call logs, searching for Dora's contact information. After the tragic accident that happened to Lauren, I made sure to get Dora a mobile so she could communicate with me wh

There are no real friendships, no true relationships, and even if the feelings somehow turn genuine, they're immediately muddled by the talks of business and incessant urges to tie the knot in marriage if the family is a favourable one. Only if the family is a favourable one. If it isn't then they do everything to ruin those feelings and create discord between the ones involved. It was a messy life filled with pretense, politics and numbers. It made me sick to the bones. My father has apparently disowned me because I have yet again disappointed him after he fixed a wedding for me without my knowledge. I found out at the last second and fled, causing a effect I didn't quite expect and I didn't regret either. Apparently, I underestimated the publicity of this particular event and it spread pretty quickly that the daughter of one of the most influential businessmen in the country ran away from her wedding.

A Mail
Raising a kid isn't exactly easy, you know," she said. "We're not suffering yet, but we're struggling. I would very much like to walk away from her, give you the middle finger and pray you die in an accident on your way back, but I can't." I flinched as she said those words. I forgot that she was also quite emotionally violent when she wants to be. "Why not?" She chuckled at my question. "Weird. Normally, one would be happy when they realize that they can't be cursed to death." I shrugged. "I can't say that I don't deserve it. Sometimes I wish for the same thing too." She gave a surprised look before continuing. "We need help, and even though you are a heartless, devilish, godforsaken, rotten, disgusting piece of shit, you have the ability to help us. You are rich and we aren't. Raising my daughter has been the greatest joy of my life even with our current situation, so raising her in a comfortable environment where she would be happy promises to bring even better joy. Despite t
A Humble request
The aroma of sizzling seafood pleasantly assaulted my nostrils as I looked around in search of the blonde beauty I came here for. I found her at the far corner of the restaurant sitting by a window wall and staring directly at me. I tensed up for a few seconds at the intensity of her stare but eventually relaxed as I walked towards her table. Even if I'm apologetic, I still have a reputation to uphold. I'm not gonna appear weak in front of her. "Hi, Donna," I flashed my best smile at her as I sat down on the seat opposite hers. "Hi," she said, her melodious voice filtering into my ears like a song. "It's...uh...nice to see you again," I said awkwardly. "I can't say the same, sorry," she shrugged. "I'd rather be with my child right now, or working." "Speaking of your child," I looked around her. "Where is.....your child?" "You don't know the gender, do you?" she asked and I shamefully looked away. I couldn't bring myself to answer that. "Well, she's okay, and happy where she is."
Meeting Donna
AUDREY HEPBURN I calmly exited my room once I was done with my exaggerated preparations to meet Donna. The maids gave me an apprehensive look as I made my way down the stairs before bowing respectfully as they hurried past me to do their jobs. "Good morning, sir," they said before heading in multiple directions and focusing on their chores. Even then, I could feel the tension in the air caused by my presence. "Everyone's acting like I'm the first person to attempt a murder on planet earth," I thought as I rolled my eyes. "There's a woman literally being called the worst human in the country and they just wouldn't ignore my little transgression." "Good morning, Audrey my boy," a calm sonorously thin voice greeted from behind me and placed a small frail hand on my back. "You look good today." I turned around with a sigh of relief as the old but beautiful nanny Helen graced me with her beautiful smile. She's been my nanny ever since I can remember and devoted all of her life to raisi
Free but not free
AUDREY HEPBURN The alarm clock blared in my ear causing me to slam it quiet with a groan. Rolling over on my bed, I let out a sigh. "I don't want to leave my room today." Just like every other day, I don't want to have to leave this room. I don't deserve to. My world has been turned upside down since that incident with Christian and sincerely, it's all my fault. I can't even blame it on anyone else. At the time, it seemed like the best course of action but now that I think about it, attempting to kill your step brother just because of a misunderstanding is quite extreme and malicious. Especially if it turns out that the woman you believed to be your mother was a lying bitch and you were infact biological brothers with the same step brother you tried to kill. That just brings it to a whole other level of terror. That was exactly what I did and now I feel like shit. For the most part of my life, I've always seen Christian as my step brother. I've always envied him, hated that he

He was mocking me," I retorted. "Who in their right mind, would risk their reputation and business influence over a murderer's nobody daughter. For all I know, he might just be thinking of using me for some publicity stunt, and the last thing I need right now is more publicity." She sighed again. "From my standpoint, it seemed like he was genuinely trying to help. You were the one being difficult." I swallowed hard, the truth of her words hitting me but my obstinacy wouldn't let me succumb. 'I was trying to protect myself.' 'You've been so hard on yourself lately, Tiffany. Please, relax. Open up to someone who seems to understand more. He said nothing wrong' earlier, You turned his words against him and made it into something offensive." "Didn't you hear him yelling at me?" She let out yet another sigh. "It's hard to not be frustrated when the person you're trying to help isn't letting you help." "I don't need his help," I hissed. "I don't want anything to do with him." She let
Tiffany's adamancy
I placed my hand in my pocket and slowly brought out my business card, then proceeded to carefully lay it on the table before backing away. "Call me when you've calmed down," I said as I headed out. "I'm sorry for the things I said." "Yeah, get out," she hissed. "And make sure to close the door behind you." With a heavy heart and a little anger at her reluctance to listen to or believe me, I closed the door behind, letting out a sigh before making my way to the car. My phone rang as I opened my car door and the caller ID was Courtney's, making me think twice about answering. I really am not in the mood for her requests and taunts. "What?" I asked as I reluctantly answered the call. "I assume it didn't go well?" "It's none of your business," I retorted. "What do you want, Courtney? I'm busy." "Well, first of all, stop using that tone with me," she warned. "Second, I think we can still find ways to help clear her name." "Nevermind that," I sighed as I got into the car. "She doe
You pity me?
"Would it kill you to say thank you?" she rolled her eyes as she revved her car engine. "You know what, never mind. Thank me by funding my newest project. Surely that's easier for you than saying the words, right?" I ignored her as I adjusted my clothes and walked away from her car. I crossed the road swiftly and headed for the house with my head down, hoping that she doesn't recognise me before I approach her door. I knocked on the door, praying again that the door opens before she realizes that I'm the one. It seems like luck's on my side as she opened the door while looking behind her. "Delivery?" she asked, her eyes still focused on something behind her. "Hi, Tiff." She froze at the sound of my voice. She remained frozen for a few minutes, as if trying to convince herself that she hadn't just heard my voice. "I know you heard me," I added as the silence stretched longer. She slowly turned her head to look at me and immediately gasped. "Oh, hell no." She tried to close th
