*** *** **Adams drives to the dusty road to his parents deserted home in the woods.When their parents were alive, they've been sensitive about living with other people. And that totally work to his advantage now. He alighted his car and knocked rhythmically on the door, it was opened, like instantly like the order person on the other side has been expecting him."Welcome." She grumbled, staring at the nylon in his hands. "Is there any snacks in there?""I got us donuts." Adam announced, going to the kitchen and dropping the groceries. He took out the donut box and returns to the living room.The moment he opened it, she snatched one from the box, biting into it blissfully. "this is heavenly!" She moaned.Adams felt something stirred in him as he watched her ear, situations sure do change people and in her case, it changed her for the better except she's expert and faking stuffs and coming from her, he shouldn't be surprised.He still doesn't know why he saved her in the first. Sin
*** *** ***Whap!!!The whiplash met with Yumi's skin. It's been almost a week now.Jonas has her and the other member tied to a chair."First, the seal is missing and you allowed the lawyer overpower you two??""I was knocked out!" The other family member defend. "The person was fast, I didn't even see who it was. He had help from someone. Didn't you see the person as well?" He directed at Yumi."Need I remind you I was knocked out too?"",I don't believe either of you! Did he promise you anything?? Are you with the inheritance?!""If I was with it, don't you think I would have used it to buy my way out of this?" Yumi retorts back, "So, it's either you release us and let's work together for a solution or you continue whipping us and be stagnant with no lead!"Jonas glared at her, she is right. He hated when anyone else asides him is right.Just for his bruised ego, he whips both of them twice before he let them go.Yumi went to her room to apply ointment on her bruised skin before sh
*** *** "You say you have a job for me?" Olivia asks, knocking on Zara's room.Ever since that day, when the found out Alina's husband is her half brother, Zara has been avoiding her like a plague."I'm coming, go wait for me in the living room." Zara shouts back.Olivia clench and unclench her fist, walking back to the living room. Zara came few minutes after, spraying air freshener everywhere."Something is smelling, aren't you perceiving it?""No." Olivia muttered, she is being careful not to get Zara angry. All hands in deck, no matter what Zara was doing now, she is the one taking care of her feeding, accommodation and all, so she doesn't have it in het to get mad at her."Shall we?" Zara asks, scrunching up her nose. If there was a way to send Olivia out of her home, age would do that instantly. She can't have a labelled murderer who is also sisters to a murderer in her house. What people associates them together. That can damage her reputation forever. She shuddered at the tho
*** *** ***"It's you! I know you!" Eleanor gasps."I know you too!" Asher exclaimed"When you saw me with Ryan, you couldn't take your eyes off right? That's why you looked shocked." Eleanor accused."I'm shocked because I have sincerely surprised. My brother set me up on this date and he went on and on about how you are cool, I'm sure he didn't see you for you.""I bet you saw me and still went ahead to come?"Asher scoffs, "You wish! Would you have rather I stood you up? Besides aren't you all about Ryan, why are you on a dating site, looking for love.""A lady got to expand her choices. If by the end of the day, Ryan decides to stick to his unable wife, where does that leave me?""Just so you know, Ryan is not going to leave his wife, at least, not in this life time.""And what do you know about him!?" Eleanor snapped, looking pained. "You don't even know him half as much as I do!""That doesn't matter, it's obvious, Ryan is not the kind to leave his marriage.""How did you meet R
*** *** Eleanor groaned into the pillow of her bed, her head banging."Glad to see you are finally awake." Grandpa Tony coughed.Eleanor sprang up from the bed, "How did I get home?""A fine young man brought you home." Grandpa Tony smiled."A fine young man?"'"Mmmh....." Grandpa Tony winked, "What was his name again?? Yeah, I think Asher!.""Shoot! That guy?!""Yeah, who ever the guy is. Have you finally decide to stop being obsessed with Ryan.""No way!" Eleanor argued.As if hitting replay, her brain replayed when she'd ask Asher if she could love him and her confession for yearning for love."Eleanor buried her head again and groaned into the pillow."I'll take it something embarrassing happened yesterday." Grandpa Tony chuckled."I don't want to talk about it?" Eleanor replied, the pillow muffling her voice."Did you guys at least kiss?" Grandpa Tony teased, "Such a beautiful night would go to waste if you guys hadn't kissed.""We did not kiss!" Eleanor defended indignantly, "
*** *** ***Alina dressed, her mind made up. She used the last money on her to go back to her family's house. They aren't expecting her and are going to be shocked when they see her. She sneaks out of the house, not feeling obligated to tell Ryan about where she is going. When Ryan wakes up, he didn't find Alina anywhere, he assumed she went on one of her job hunts. He hated seeing her that way, worried over everything little thing. Even though he is being secretive over a lot of things, he wasn't going to allow them starve. He would always send help to her one way or the other..His respect for her increased when she rejects the job offer his company offered, because she doesn't want to be indebted to the owner.He decides to stop by Alex's office, make an offer with him or call in a favour with him or perhaps, since Alina trusts Asher, he could use Asher as an helper to her, yet, he needs to stop by Alex and see how he is doing, maybe back to his usual bitchy and cry baby self.**
*** *** ***Alex hung around till Alina left, feeling proud of himself for finally standing up to her after years. As he was about to enter the company, he gets dragged to the alley beside the company and gagged in order for him not to scream. Fortunately for his intruder, there was barely anyone in sight."What the heck!" Alex exclaims after he was released, removing his gag."Olivia? What are you doing here? When did you get out of Prison? How did you?"Olivia threw the first punch at him, bursting his lips instantly."Are you crazy? What are you doing?!""Yes! I'm crazy!" Olivia screams, "And it's all because of you!!"She grabs him by the shirt and slaps him repeatedly until his cheeks were red.Alex tried to rip her off him, but she was too strong, it was like she grew super powers overnight. Olivia gives him another blow to the face, putting half of her strength into the punch, breaking his nose instantly. The instant she releases him, Alex tried to make an escape.Olivia th
*** *** ***Ryan entered the half opened gate, making a mental note to himself to fix the lock later on."What are you doing here?" Olivia stops him by the front lounge.Ryan outs his hands in his pocket, "Checking up on you, how's your health?""Better, you can go." Alina snaps.Ryan stood there, both of them studying each other.Olivia has a memory flash, to anyone and everyone, she's living a life befitting for a princess. No one knows what it was like to live in her house. It was night mares upon nightmares. Only Alex had an inkling of what she passed through and yet he used her as his scapegoat and did not bother coming to her rescue.She grew up knowing her mother had abandoned her here and was her father mistress.Her father, mad he couldn't have her mother for himself always yelled at her and didn't care she was being maltreated by his new wife. There was a time he told her he hated seeing her face because they reminded him so much of someone.She didn't need a soothsayer to t
