Wynn immediately shook her head, though she was broke and had no way to possibly pay back derek, she still refused to accumulate more debt nor did she want to feel kike she owed anyone anything.

Not for pride but just the freedom from all these unnecessities.

"You don't have to worry yourself about my issues, Juan, I'll pay for this piece of shit myself."

Juan was insistent, he took Wynn's hand, "we're friends, if I can help you, why shouldn't I?"

Wynn looked at him and wondered if she was seeing things wrong. They used to be friends before Kraig came into the picture but now, they weren't much and for him to show up suddenly bearing gifts and even insisting on paying for what Derek was demanding, she couldn't help but feel like he had some ulterior motive to his kindness. She had no reason whatsoever to not trust him but she just couldn't accept that his kindness came from a place of solidarity.

"Just let me help you," Juan said, giving her no leeway to refuse his help.

    As Kraig walked out of the room, he stopped by the living room before deciding to return to his own. He held no iota of pity for the woman he just left in that room. He had warned her, he felt everything she was getting was nothing but the reward of her actions. She had been so impatient and so childish about everything that had taken place and now her reward was being married to a man who had deceived her. He had not been lying when he said if he was the one he'd have sent them out. Jade disrespected him in so many ways and he wouldn't have shown any form of mercy upon her. He thought she should be able to learn the way the world works as old as she was. He reached the living room and there he saw his grandfather still sitting there. His eyes were on the television but he showed little to no interest in what was going on. His mind was far away and he looked forlorn. Now this one was deserving of his pity. Kraig went forward and wrapped his arms around his grandfather. "You like th

    Jade felt that being called downstairs for breakfast was a good thing. It had been a while and nobody mentioned anything about them leaving the house. She knew this vacation, or bliss would come to an end sooner or later but she was ready to enjoy it while it lasted. And also she sought for something. A new mission for herself. There was no way she'd allow herself leave the house. She wasn't going to allow herself to be made a fool of. Now she had turned to the clown in the mansion, the right person for comical relief because she had allowed herself to be fooled into marrying the wrong person. But now, she was not going to make the same mistake. She was not going to allow herself to be fooled for a second time. She was more than that. And so she sat on a chair, ready for her mission to begin. She waited and watched how everyone else got to their seats with a knowing smile on her face. She was dolled up nicely but not superfluously nor unnatural. Her husband had asked her what she

    Wesley wasn't at all surprised that a person who was supposed to have oassed out was talking back to him. He got only a half of the cintent that the woman was a psychopath. Whether or not he was in love with Jade, whether or not he married her for money, he was still vey well aware of the things she could do and hitting someone's head on the desk waa something far beyond jade's ability. There was really only one understanding from his deduction and the fear he recognized in jade's eyes: Carolene had hurt herself. How sick was that? "There's no way Jade could've hurt you that way. You faked passing out, what's hurting yourself that you can't fake?" Carolene raised an eyebrow at him, "your accusation is quite bold," she said. "You're saying I harmed myself for what reason?" "Because you're a sick psycho and you want us out of this house!" Wesley yelled. "Were you ever in it?" She maintained her equanimity. Maybe that was what pissed Wesley off, she remained so calm that made hi

    "What did you just say?" Kt was Wynn this time. The supposed Wesley stared at the three people standing there looking at him like he was a ghost. He was certain that they had taken some kind of special drug that made them lose their shit upon seeing him. He made the decision to ignore them and then drive into the mansion, but the gates were refusing to open for him. "Can any of you help me get to the gate or are you suddenly statues?" Kraig couldn't stop staring at him. From his hair to the color of his eyes to the way he talked, he was exactly like Wesley who he knew was inside the house. Kraig couldn't help but laugh. 'Would someone love be Wesley so much that they even decide to do surgery to look like his arrogant cousin? He was mesmerized. He knew that this was a different Wesley for a number of reasons and one was that Wesley, the one he was acquainted with, was unable to afford a car like that. "You cannot be Wesley," Kyle said. "Why can't I be myself?" The new Wesley

    Jade had more or less blanked out ever since the arrival of second Wesley, she had been looking at the two of them wondering what was going on. But she was smart enough to know before everyone that one was an imposter. Which meant that there was a possibility that she didn't even get married to the real Damont. That shebhad marrued some knock off who did okastuc surgery. Nothing was going her way. The man she was trying to seduce wasn't even looking her way and the man she had married lied to her, and now they were only a DNA test away from finding out how big of a lie he had told. She shook her head. Life was surely against her. She wanted to leave, retreat to her room, process all that was going on but if she did then people around would think she didn't care about what was going on which was on the contrary because she felt she was losing her shit at the moment. The day had not started off great for her but it was unfolding to be a fuckshow. She had planned to show the pictur

    Carolene's gaze darkened, "actually, you'd be surprised. I come from a long line of fertile women''. Wesley was exasperated by her bullshit, he immediately let go of her, tossing her to the bed, "you will regret what you have done, Carolene. We were partners. How could you have done this to me?" "How could I not when you had threatened me?" She asked, "you don't play with me, Wesley. Have you forgotten who I am?" "You. Are. Nothing" he stressed each word then took a few steps away from the bed. She rose to her feet, "Do you think you're talking to your reflection? I'm not the one who fooled himself by going around scamming people and not just that, also went ahead to cry kn front of people what font give a fuck about you!" Wesley was slightly shocked that she knew about what had happened but he didn't hang on that, knowing the woman before him, she was able to get her information one way or another.

    Kraig and Mr DeVille were still in the living room. They were the only ones left, along the time of waiting for the new Wesley to regain consciousness, Kyle had abandoned the mission and gone out for something. His words has been "I need to call a client". Which Kraig obviously knew was a lie and that he just wanted to get out of the treacherous, boring activity of waiting for hours not knowing when Wesley would regain consciousness. Although Mr DeVille was waiting as well, he had fallen asleep leaving Kraig to watch over the man. Well, he was doing his job quite well. He took a seat on the table which he had positioned right in front of the couch Wesley was laying down on. He was focused on his face trying to find any anomaly so as to use it against him. In actuality, he wasn't on anyone's side. The former Wesley had not really proven to anybody that he was one that could be trusted nor one that could stand up for. He has lied and cheated a lot of people and even his identity

    Even after going through a very unpleasant conversation with her husband and an embarrassing incident that must've left her scarred. Jade still found the reason, the zeal to sneak into Carolene's room and do what she had intended on doing. She met the woman casually sipping from her coffee mug. Her eyes turned to jade upon hearing the creaking sound of the door as it opened. On seeing that her visitor was jade, Carolene did not hide her eye roll. "You should've knocked". She said as she sat her coffee mug down. However, Jade blatantly ignored the attitude in her eyes and the spite in her voice as she proceeded to do what she had come for. "You were right," she started, "I was being delusional when I said Kraig liked me". Carolene was simply nodding her head ad she listened, "well, I appreciate the recognition, but why are you telling me?" Her ego was caressed by Jade's words but at the same time, her curiosity was provoked. Jade chuckled knowing damn well that underneath that d

    Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

    Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

    Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

    Daniel took two steps forward. Though such a small number of steps should not possess the ability to completely obliterate the distance between them, but his strides were the guilty party.With just two steps, he now stood right beside Fabio as he peered into the evidence bag to scrutinize clearly the bullet kept within.Fabio was made cognizant of the imaginary distance between them. He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

    Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

    Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate. But as she thought, it could be beca

    Leah woke up in the small room she had been waking up in for over a week. She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist. She had no idea what her role here was, but she assumed that it had something to do with the baby in her womb because they were always giving her food for two people and as such, she had added a lot of weight.She was still tall and slim and

    Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache.
