2024-10-29 19:42:56Amanda looked out of the car window, completely ignoring the man that was sending seductively signals her way. She was not ready to engage in any sort of conversation with anyone. All she wanted was to meet with her girls and prepare to go for the party that promised to be the biggest of the month.
The man pulled up at her friend, Bethany's house and she wasted no time in paying the man and leaving his car. She knew by his body signals that he wanted to engage her in a conversation but he wasn't going to have any of it.
"Amanda!" Bethany screamed as she opened the door to her best friend. She had seen her come in from the window. She was excited to see her but not so excited to not notice that she was using an Uber.
"Girl, what happened to your car?"
"My idiotic father took it from me. Told me that I had to learn some manner before it would be given back to me." She said as she barged into the house and Bethany closed the door behind her.
"Are you serious?" Bethany asked as she followed Amanda who was heading to the kitchen.
"Yeah, it's so crazy. He said that I have some serious growing up to do. And maybe I do but taking away my car is not the way to teach me," she said as she took a sip of orange juice. "The only thing keeping me sane right now is this party, so can we go?"
"Yes, we can," Bethany said and from the side of her eyes, she could see her baby brother fighting with the sister over a remote. "Marv, let go of the remote," she said as she walked up to them.
"It's not fair. You didn't even ask what happened, you just assumed that it was my fault," Marv said with teary eyes.
"And that's because you are also so mischievous. So let go of it."
"Fine," Marv said as he let go of the remote and ran upstairs.
"Who's going to take care of them when we leave?" Amanda asked puzzled as to whether her best friend could actually leave her two siblings alone.
"I called Jane their babysitter. She should be here before it's time for us to go. Now let's go upstairs." Bethany giggled as she dragged Amanda up to her room. They had agreed to leave the clothes at Amanda's place. Amanda didn't trust her father. She believed that he would somehow find the outfit and ruin it and she couldn't let that happen.
A few minutes later, they were in Bethany's room. Amanda jumped on the bed as she watched Bethany head over to remove the clothes from the closet.
"Hey, do you think that Andrews will be at that party? I really hope he will. It's been so long since we last met and I can't wait to pick up from where we left off." Amanda said as she scrolled through her phone looking for how she would style her hair. The silence in the room was alien to her because she was used to Bethany being loud all the time. She lifted her head to see a sorry look on Bethany's face. When she looked down, she could see her dress being cut in half.
Amanda stood up gently from the bed. "Okay, please tell me that this is not my dress."
"Amanda I am so sorry. I swear I don't know how this happened." It was obvious that Bethany was sorry but Amanda wasn't going to let her off the hook so easily.
"OMG Bethany, how did this happen? How could you let this happen?" Amanda took the cloth from her hand and traced the fabric across hers.
"I don't know how it happened. I think that maybe one of my siblings did it."
"Why would they cut my dress in half?"
"Maybe because they thought it was mine. Look, we get on each other's nerves a lot and I won't be surprised if they did this to get back at me. But don't worry, I have something else that you can wear and go to the party," Bethany said as she went back to searching through her closet.
"Forget it. I don't want to wear anything else. I guess I'll just go home and sleep." Amana dropped the cloth on her bed and picked up her bag.
"Oh no. You can't go. Look, I feel so terrible."
"You should! You ruined my evening."
"Okay, let me make it up to you. I will indulge you in a fun evening with me and my siblings. It will be fun, we can play all sorts of games and do anything you want."
"Could we drink vodka from the bottle?"
"If that's what will make you happy," Bethany said with a forced giggle. "And first thing tomorrow morning we will go to this great place downtown. They have the best tailors and I am sure that they will be able to fix your dress for you. So what do you say? You interested?"
Amanda took a second to think about it. "Hell yeah, I'm interested. It's better than going back home and sulking."
"What are you really sulking about?" Bethany was Amanda's best friend but Amanda was not comfortable with telling her everything about her life. Some things were better left unsaid.
"Nothing serious. Let's go downstairs and start having some fun because I am bored out of my mind," Amanda said trying to move her attention from her life to something that she knew Bethany loved. Having fun.
"Okay, I will just put a call across to Jane for her to bring the vodka."
"You guys don't have it here?"
"Oh we do, but when my parents were about to travel for the weekend, they packed it all and locked it in their room and I don't have the key. I'll be down in a minute," Bethany said when she saw Amanda leaving her and heading downstairs.

Amanda woke up to a beer bottle on her stomach. The sun had found a way into the parlour which was beginning to smell like alcohol. Amanda managed to lift her hand as she looked across the room, she saw Bethany and Jane lying on the sofa opposite hers. Standing up, she hit Bethany on the hit to wake her up."Girl, what the hell?""You are a bad older sister. How could you get hammered with your little sisters in the house?" Bethany rubbed her eyes with her hand and she could finally see the sight of Amanda staring back at her made her want to throw up. "Will you stop looking at me like that? You got hammered too!" "And that's because you didn't stop me at all," Amanda said as she crossed over to the kitchen. Bethany watched her as she fixed a cup of coffee for both of them. "I'm going to check on my siblings." "Oh now you want to be a good big sister," Amanda taunted her as she opened the cabinet that she knew they stored the drugs, removed an aspirin and swallowed it."They are f

"Excuse me ma but that is not a way to talk to someone. I was just telling you not to throw up here." "And what will happen if I do." There was nothing that Amanda hated more than people telling her what she could and could not do. Especially strangers. "Well, you will have to clean it up yourself." Jake was still fazed at how such a beautiful lady could have such a bad character. "And isn't that why you are here? To clean up after people's mess?" "I will have you know that I am a fashion designer in this fine establishment.""Oh honey, if you call this," she motioned her hand around the building, "a fine establishment, then you are yet to see the world."Jake's face had gotten red. He knew that the building wasn't state-of-the-art but he never expected that it could be pointed out to him in such a vile manner. "And what are you doing here? Since you obviously have so much class than everyone in here, why have her majesty found her way into the suburbs?" "Oh, believe me, left fo

The cab driver dropped Amanda outside her home and she reluctantly got out of the car. The gate door was open, much to her pleasure because now she could avoid small talks with the gateman. But unfortunately, her mother had already sighted her coming back and couldn't wait to eat her alive. "Amanda Cash, where are you coming from?" Amanda sighed as she saw her mother rushing down the small stairs that led to their lawn with an angry look on her face. "Mom, I spent the night at Bethany's place." "And that young girl is the type of thing you run by me and your father first before you do.""Why? Mom, it's Bethany. Not a stranger.""I don't care if it's your aunty. You do not leave this house without telling us where you went and not caring so much as to pick up your calls. Do you understand?" "Yes, mom," Amanda said as she hung her head low. "Now, your father is very much upset with you. Mostly because he wanted to tell you something last night but you were nowhere to be found. So

Amanda slammed the door to her room as she jumped on her bed and cried. She cried till she was sure that her eyes were swollen shut but still she cried. She could hear someone creep into her room and she didn't need any soothsayer to tell her who it was."Honey, I know it sounds bad but it's totally accomplishable," her mother said gently. Amanda scoffed and finally removed her head from her pillow. "Seriously mom? Where am I supposed to find a husband in the next two months? Dad is just doing this because he wants me to come work for him at that stupid company and I will not. I will never do it, mom.""Listen, I will have you know that that stupid company is what is paying for your bills and funding this rich lifestyle of yours. So if you were to learn how it works, it won't be a bad idea." Amanda couldn't believe the words coming out of her mother's lips, she was used to the woman being lukewarm about working like she was.

He would still love to be with her despite her rude behaviour. He knew that he could tame her and he wanted to. "Yes, officer please take him away. He assaulted me," Amanda said while faking a tantrum. The men wasted no time in taking him away but the smile that
Son In-law Revenge Getting To Know Each Other
Jake looked at Amanda and he couldn't believe what she just told him to do. Was she that desperate for a man that she would force a total stranger into getting married to her? "You're joking right?" "Did I stutter?" She responded to his question."So you want me, a stranger who you hate, to date you and then get married to you? Why?""You are not in the position to be asking questions. Are you going to do it?" "Can I have some time to think about it?" Jake said after he had looked at Amanda sceptically and knew that she was up to something."Yeah, you only have five minutes. And your time starts now," Amanda said, looking at her phone. She knew that if she left him there, he would find a way to leave on his own. She couldn't take the risk. He was her only hope but he didn't have to find that out."Okay, times up. So what have you decided?" "First, nobody can make such an important decision in less than five minutes and second, I'll get to date you but I'm not so sure about the mar

The woman had lost her husband two years back and Laura felt like she didn't need to be alone. So she packed out of her one room apartment and moved back in with her mother."Bye guys." Laura shouted out as she closed the door."Bye aunty Laura." In between bites, Cassidy was still able to respond to the greeting."How are you doing over there baby girl?" Jane asked as she looked at her daughter from the driver's window."I'm doing okay mom. This cake is delicious. It's the best I've ever had.""Well, he did say that you were going to enjoy it.

"Damn it!" Emily cursed under her breath. Every time she was beginning to have a quiet moment with Sebastian, something or someone just always had to ruin it. She could see the spark in his eyes and she knew that he was seeing her in another light. The kind of light that Emily wanted her to see him in. And now her phone just had to go and ring, interrupting the moment she was sharing with him. She removed the phone from her handbag and was more annoyed when she saw the caller ID."Yes?" She was afraid that if she had said more words, the man would have sensed her anger and wanted to find a way to relieve her of it. But Williams didn't need to see her before he could sense the mood that she was in. "Em, are you alright?" He had the same caring tone in his voice which Emily hated. She had never seen Williams as a passionate man. To her he was too bland and empty, nothing drove him to the edge. Nothing made him think outside the box, he was a calculative, arranged and organized man. It

The bar was filled with people. Andy's has always had a full house mostly because he had good music and his staffs were as kind as the day was bright. Emily could spot some foreigners in the bar. It was a normal thing for them to always occupy all the space there. The town of Los Angeles always had people trooping into it because not only was it a tourist site, but it was also a place where opportunities could come through. Anything was possible or at least that is what they believed. They had one had a cowboy come into town with their hippy-dippy style of dressing. Once he was settled in, he opened a salon and it was his favourite place to go. Soon, he had been transformed into an LA man. It was difficult to transform him but he had the kind of spirit that could adapt to anything at any time.Emily walked towards the counter, but Andy was nowhere in sight.

The drive back to her company was awfully quiet. It would have been a great time to have company, like that of Sebastian. Looking at the driver's mirror, she could almost see his perfectly symmetrical face and his tattooed arms. He had a dangerous aura around him, and there was nothing that Emily loved more than danger. Emily shook her head. She shouldn't be noticing anything about him. She shouldn't be even thinking about him. She should focus on how weird and awkward it will be when she meets Williams the next time. Deciding to cross that bridge when she gets to it, Emily swerved into the parking lot. There, she saw Sebastian waiting for it.She could hear her heart racing, she could feel her blood running into her ears. She grabbed on tightly to the steering wheel. Did he have to be so attractive? Did he have to make her want him so badly? Realizing that those weren't the things she should be thinking about, she turned off her engine and focused on getting rid of him.To hell with

It was becoming clear that all the people Sebastian was getting acquitted with were dangerous men and they all knew Ethan. The man that approached them was covered with tattoos and the more Sebastian observed him, the more he noticed the cliche way the man was dressing. He had on nose rings and an earring on his eyebrows."Hello, Denzel," Ethan said as he stood up."I see we are now mates, if not what would give you the courage to address me by my name?" "I don't believe they are any secrets between us."Denzel's couldn't take his eyes off the little brat that had almost gotten him arrested. He had sworn that the next time he sees him, he would be a dead man. But he had come with Chairman's men and anyone who wanted to live knew not to mess with Chairman. The man could do unimaginable things to his victim but still behave like he was doing nothing. "I don't think we do," Denzel said as he offered a smile his way and ushered them to their seats.

Sebastian had hoped that he would never get to see the building that threatened to end his life whenever he stepped foot into it. Reluctantly, Ethan and Sebastian moved towards the door and one of the men nugged them along."What? So when you are not chatting like little girls, you guys chose to irritate me by walking like snails?" The man said with anger in his voice. As much as Sebastian wanted to reply to him, he decided to save his strength for when he would need to run away from Maverick and his gang and if he couldn't, he would fight his way out. He didn't mind getting shot, anything was better than working full time for him.They didn't pass through the club as they did before. The entrance was a lot narrower and the presence of two guards gave the clear message of the entrance being off limits to regular party freaks.

Sebastian smiled to himself as he pulled up to the parking lot of the company. He was glad for the conversation he had with Ethan earlier. The man was a pain in the ass most of the time but he did help him get the perspective he needed.Sebastian yelled as Ethan hovered over him so early in the morning. He was used to the man not being the morning type but Ethan was wide awake and staring directly into his eyes. "Man, what the hell?!" Sebastian screamed out as he pushed Ethan away from his body. He reeked of alcohol making Sebastian worry about why he did not just pass out already. That was mostly what he did whenever he came back drunk."Don't you have where to go today?" Ethan was talking about him going out in search of a job but Sebastian knew better. There were no jobs available anywhere. "Won't be going anywhere today," he said as he turned over to his side "there are no jobs in this godforsaken town. So I might as well just save myself from the stress of looking.""So what do

The weather was pleasant but the same couldn't be said for Emily's appearance. She cursed as she highlighted from her car and almost ran into her father's company building. She waited patiently till she heard the ding of the elevator, rushing in she quickly pressed the button that would open up to her office.Immediately the doors of the elevator opened up, she marched into her office floor completely ignoring the greetings of all the staffs that saw her. She walked briskly towards her secretary's desk and slammed her hand into her table."Good afternoon ma'am." The young lady stuttered as she looked into the gleaming eyes of her boss who was not looking happy."Sandra, what meeting did I have today?" "Ummm. Ma, which one are you referring to?"Could she be serious?"Which one am I talking about? The one I'm just coming back from. Which meeting was that?"Sandra looked down from Emily's face and scrambled the papers on her table looking for her boss itinerary for the day."Umm, that
