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. After all, she was a full-time housewife who had gotten lu

    Jake smiled as he saw the exact reaction he wanted to get out of her. He needed her to feel the pain that he was sure she dished out to people on a daily basis. He removed his phone and sent a text to Sebastian.Hey dude, I'm about to be arrested. Can you find the station they are taking me to and come bail me out? I have plans of eating sushi this evening and you know how much I love Chinese. So please hurry up. Thanks.Immediately he pressed send, he heard the sirens coming and he saw a victorious look on Amanda's face. She was very beautiful, he couldn't deny it.

He assaulted me," Amanda said while faking a tantrum. The men wasted no time in taking him away but the smile that

    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

    A month flew by and Jake and Amanda had gotten close and learnt almost everything there was to know about each other. But Jake didn't inform her that he was a billionaire and she didn't inform Jake that he wanted to get married to him because of her inheritance. Spending so much time with Amanda had made her realize that Jake would never get married to her if he didn't love her and she won't be able to force him to. After all, the words he spoke when he was in jail were only heard by him and her. There was no witness. Amanda then knew that she had to make Jake fall in love with her. "It's opened babe," Jake screamed when he had heard her knocking for long."How did you know it was me?" Amanda said as she walked into the room. "Your perfume gives you away," Jake said as he went over to her to hug her. Jake had gotten used to her. He had also grown very fond of her. He finally figured out that she wasn't really a bad person, she was just having a bad day. The next day after their date

    "I can't believe we are getting married," Amanda said with a giggle. "Yeah, but I need to meet your parents first. They need to love me as much as you love me.""Yeah." "So when can I meet them?" The long pause that Amanda gave was frightening to Jake. "Honey, when can I meet your parents?" "Ummm, we can go meet them right now if you want." "Oh really, I would love that. But why don't you look happy about it?" Amanda couldn't explain everything to him. The fear of him finding out about her secret scared her. She was so close to having what she wanted and she wasn't going to let anything ruin it. Putting on her prettiest smile, Amanda hugged Jake, assuring him that everything was okay.

    Amanda could hear the roaring from the engine of her father's car and fear gripped her. She wasn't scared of what her mother could but she knew her father to be a vile man."Daddy's home," she said while looking outside the window. Jake had gotten comfortable on her bed but Amanda was so wrapped up in her own world that she didn't care to figure out why he was acting so cold towards everything that was going on"We need to go greet him," she said as she closed the window and advanced towards the door."Don't you think that we should let him rest first? I mean, he just got back.""No, if he meets mom before we meet him, my mother will brainwash him. We need to meet him first and get him to like you. Now, stand up and let's go," Amanda said as she pulled Jake off the bed and they raced downstairs."Hey, dad. You're back," Amanda said as she hugged him and collected his briefcase. It was a new thing to see her acting like a lady and Mr. Cash knew that she wanted something. "What's going

    Amanda stood and watched as he walked out the gate. She wasn't in a haste to leave. After all, that wasn't something a proud fiancee would do. She waved him goodbye as her gateman closed the gate. She was about to climb the patio stairs when she heard her name being called. Turning around, she saw Bethany walking toward her."Was that Jake I just saw leaving here?" The woman asked with an urgency in her voice. She had gotten used to Amanda playing with Jake's feelings without his knowledge but she wouldn't have believed that she would actually go through with her plans of ruining him. "Yes, yes it was," she said while smiling."Amanda, why is that smile on your face?" She asked with fear in her voice. Bethany knew her friend, she was planning something and the only thing she could do was hope that it won't backfire on her. "I can't tell you out here. Let's go into my room," she said as she took a hold of her hand and dragged her into her room with her. Immediately they were inside,

    Scrambling to find a hiding spot, Jake tumbled into a room that was not locked and he thanked his stars that he had found it. Immediately the door close, he froze on the spot and stared intently at the door but his thoughts had teleported him into a different world.How could she do that to me? I cannot believe that I ever fell in love with her. She can't get away with this. No, I won't let her. I will not marry her anymore. It would be a crime to give her the satisfaction that she desires. Oh, thank God I didn't tell her about who I really am, if I did she may have taken everything that I have and made it look like it was done out of love. "She is just a cruel, wicked and inconsiderate person," Jake said as he walked backwardly into the room."And who exactly are you referring to?" He heard a voice from behind him and hastily turned to look into the angry eyes of Mrs. Cash."Umm, ma. I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.""Well, how could you? You were busy cursing somebody that I hope

    "What evidence are you talking about?" Jake asked out of confusion and anger at the smile that didn't leave Amanda's face."You know Jake, I am so happy that you found out about my little secret because now I don't have to pretend anymore. In fact, I was praying that you'd find out but because of how slow you are, you couldn't catch up earlier. But still, you did. Congratulations!" Amanda clapped her hands in mock celebration of Jake's discovery."Can you stop being a bitch and tell me what it is you are talking about?" Jake could feel himself getting riled up and he was so close to breaking the promise he made to his mother to never slap a woman."Or what, Jake? What are you going to do? We both know that you are a pussy who can't do anything manly. For Christ's sake, your girlfriend broke up with you because you were broke and you couldn't even get her back but you allowed yourself to be fooled into selling drugs."*"Is that what this is about?

    Chapter SeventeenTen minutes seemed like more than enough time for Jane to arrive at Laura's house.She lived with her mother. 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. I guess he wasn't lying.""How did you meet him again?"Jane decided that it was best if her daughter didn't know everything that had happened."He came to me.

    "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 cute little bartender had always had a thing for Emily but just like Williams, Emily had only considered him good as a friend

    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. "So I'm curious to know, how did a ric

    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. They walked in the dark for what felt like hours but was only five minutes and Sebastian kept praying that they weren't passing through the human body room. Sud

    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

    "Seb!!!, What's up??!! Are you ready to party hard?", He shouted across the entrance. "Ethan, what am I doing here?", "I told you I didn't want to come out tonight", "who do you know that is broke that goes to a club?", I said disturbed"You worry too much my friend.
