Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Ridiculed
Lauren let out a dry chuckle. “I'm no fool, Dylan. I see how hard it is you are fighting the urge to express how hurt you feel. But, I will tell you this; you should be thrilled that your real father found you. If your life was really continuously miserable as it is from the start, you would have eventually committed suicide or delve into crime.” She paused, “how long was I supposed to endure for? It's been four years. Four years of my life hoping you would get a better shot at life. But you were such a coward, even a little child will ride you. It was always painful to watch. I wanted a better life for myself and I went in search for it.” I laughed at her last statement, “and how does your life look any better now? You are out of job, and Gabe seem to enjoy tossing you around to plead for a job to feed the both of you. Aren't you back to square one?” “And I hope you feel really better now that you bought M&F Jewels. I hope it gets you to sleep at night. You bastard!” That was i
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir They're after us
Christian's POV I have always seen fast and furious in the movies but I never thought I would be practicing it one day. My heart was in my mouth at the sight of the horrid look on the assailants faces. Coming after us in powerbikes with guns that look murderous enough on its own. Oh, lord save my soul. If I end up dying in this type of attack, I should definitely belong to the members of heavens. I can't go to hell like this. "How the hell are we getting out of this?" I blurted, bending down to avoid getting hit. Not even a bullet proof car would save me from the bullets of those wild guns. "We have more men on the way sir." The wounded guard assured me. How they could be calm in this ruckus is something I would never be able to fathom. And I really don't care at the moment I just want to be save. I tried to pay attention to the attack, the gun men weren't exactly shooting at the car windows, it's more of targeting the car tires. Almost like an attempt to bring the car to a

Audrey's POvThe back of my neck ached as I tried to understand what the fools in front of me were trying to say. This is the second time in a row I am sending my men out to get me a person and they return with no good newsI really don't want to believe what I am hearing right, I chugged down the rest of the vodka in the glass I held in hand. Tossing the glass at the stupid men in front of me, it hit the wall directly. They are lucky I have a poor throwing capability."What bullshit are you telling me right now?" I inquired in the calmest tone i could muster.The head of the team, Carlton stayed stiff. "We did our best sir, but their men and the police had outnumbered us.""I asked you to get Lauren. My brothers girlfriend, how can someone like her have access to guards?" I was boiling with steam now."She was with Mr Christian, sir." Carlton responded.I sucked in a breath, gritting my teeth hard. Whatever it is protecting Christian really has to be something unheard of. I have neve

Christian POVWords about my attack has been rounded in the news before I left the city, this local news seem to enjoy drama. I had called Donna to ensure its brought down before I return.Lauren's noise was getting to me, I had asked for her to be gagged. Her stubbornness is really out of this world. Despite being tied down, she keeps trying hard to free herself. Lauren thought I was joking when I asked for her to be taken into the prepared jet for our flight. I don't want to hear anymore excuse that she has, it's enough that she boldly looks me in the eye and gives me curt responses. The day would have been a bit of pleasant if Audrey didn't call me. It's the nerve for me. He makes it seem like everything happening has nothing to do with him and it irks me that I have to put up with his bullshit till I get to the bottom of everything. If I try to talk to dad about it, Audrey might end up doing something worse. The depth in his words being said to me was delivered well. For now I

Christian's POVI dropped my cutlery staring at him in confusion, "what do you mean?" The guard cleared his throat, after drinking water from the glass handed to him by Dora. "she started fussing and throwing things at the door. When I got in to see what was going on, she attacked me and bit me hard on my hand. I had to hold her back and run out of the room to come to you." I hissed in irritation, "is she still throwing tantrums?""She is locked back in now, boss." He bowed."Alrighr, that works. You can go." I told him.Silence reigned and I can sense Dora's eyes trailing my movement. As delicious as the casserole was. It was beginning to taste watery and all of the flavor I imagined to savor was all gone. "What is it, Dora?" "I know this might sound nosy, but I hope you know what you are doing?" "Pack up the food Dora, I will microwave it when I return." I muttered, standing up. My head reeled in anger as I made my way towards the room Lauren got locked up in. A guard had open

Lauren's POVI couldn't control the muckus that kept drooling down my nose. The thought of Aiden being ignored by the doctors because they didn't hear from me or get any money sent to them for the treatment. Had my head reelingI will never forgive Christian, if anything happens to my brother and I wouldn't mind going to jail because of him. I would kill him and burn his deadbody. My body ached from all of the tussle and my throat itched painfully.The scream I had let out at burned at my chest badly. The door opened again and the woman who I had seen by the house entrance when I was being dragged in. Walked towards me with a tray in hand.I swallowed a dry spit at the sight of the water glass in the tray she carried. She calmly placed it on a nearby stool, with her eyes filled with pity she fed me the water. I would have refused, not knowing if I was about to be drugged.But, her aura gave off that of a good person. I gulped it down my throat like I had been starved for years. Today,
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Breaking my resolve 1
Christian's POVScrolling through my phone, I hissed at each post of the attack that had happened earlier I'm the day. It's almost midnight and they are all going crazy over the comments. Many of the blog posts have written more fabricated stories than I would have imagined actually happened to me. I had to leave the confines of the house and take the bicycle towards the end of the road where a gadget store, where WiFi could be used. The house and it's surroundings don't have reception and that was the plan for the house. Far from all of the city rustles, however I had called for some installations. Just that I need something else to hold Lauren down and prevent her from making any crazy call.I sighed, texting Donna. Instead of replying, she opened up a video call almost immediately. That lady has nothing like courtesy in her dictionary. If I wanted to see her face, there wouldn't have been a need to text first.Sighing, I picked the call. "Learn to seek for permission before carry
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir She has no brother
"It still doesn't answer the question, Christian. Lauren cheated on you, does that mean you should become a monster?" I kissed my teeth, "You know nothing about this, Dora. Just let it be.""She has a brother who is on a sick bed and his life fading out! How did you not know about that?" "That's a lie, she has no brother!" I argued"How about you call the same hospital you pick her up from. What is wrong with you, Christian. When did you lose your humane conscience. If she cheated,then you let her go. Both of you going on your separate ways. Don't act so petty and expect your wounds to heal." Dora huffed"Who exactly is this brother and why do I not know about it?""Maybe, you would have known if you cared to listen.""Listen to what exactly? We were together for four years and I practically know nothing about her. How do you think that makes me feel?" "Like an actual fool." She replied to me bluntly.I hissed, pushing the bottle away from me. "That woman had me giving her every pa

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. People were quick to point fingers at my father, accusing him of forcing his
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

The search
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
