~ Courtney ~ "What condition?" I asked curiously "Never bring up my mother, never set me up with any girl and never ever ask me to take the trash out" "That's more than a condition" I raised a eyebrow. "Lastly" he continued, ignoring my remark "if you ever try what do did this night, I'm skinning you alive. Okay?" " Fine accepted" I rolled my eyes He shook my hands firmly and we both looked at each other sternly. "Cool CounterKnee, I mean Courtney" "Movies?" I asked He looked at me like I've grown two heads. "Just to seal our truce" I shrugged "go and prepare the living room, I'll make popcorns." I said and left before he could argue. Donald Why did she suddenly ask for a truce?? I hope she has nothing up her sleeve again though she sounded sincere. It'll take a lot of effort to call her Courtney instead of CounterKnee. We shook each other after the agreement. I was still thinking about her change when she suddenly suggest

Courtney I didn't expect him to come home early and was preparing lunch when he came in. It's surprising he really brought the files and even more surprising he went without complaint when I asked him to set the table. I told Eva about our deal while he was out and she told me he ever let anyone touches his files or anything in his office that's paper related, not even Flynn. I wondered why he trusts me then to help him out. I was really happy I would be doing another thing other than cleaning, watching TV and taking courses online. I've always imagined myself in an office and on a corporate dress. I hope that dream comes true soon. I worked all night and saw I had only done quarter of it. We both worked throughout the next day too. The date day...... Donald I dressed up for the date like I've always done on past dates and entered the restaurant where my supposed date is. I met her drinking a coffee. "Hi" I greeted her "Hey" she

~ Donald ~ Just when my life is taking shape, she appears. What does she want? "Who's she?" Courtney asked with a frown. "My ex, nightmare and first love" whispered. Clara rolled in her bags and came over to hug me. I stood stiffly, watching her moves. "Missed me hun?" She kissed my cheeks and laughed rolling her bag to only Heaven knows where. " What's going on?" Courtney asked but I ignored and went to my art room instead. Why's she here? I'm trying to get over her and she came to make things worse. I hit my head hard on the wall to stop the memories that haunt from resurfacing but it's not working. I went to the bathroom I installed on the art room for cases like this and filled the tub with water before removing my clothes and dipping myself in the water. Courtney d What is going on?? Why's Donald acting like he has seen a ghost? He didn't even acknowledge my presence. Why's his ex here? Does that mean he still loves her? I was right? Gosh

~ Donald ~ I entered my car and drove angrily to the office. "Heyy, what the h*ll is wrong with you?" Flynn asked angrily when I entered. "I don't care, why did you allow her stay" "I don't know, it's affecting my sanity. I want to try to fight back" "Your decision bro, you know what to do" "After the meeting, you have dinner with the commissioner and you have to bring a date. I would have asked Eva to go with you but she's busy." "Is it compulsory I go to the dinner?" "Very very compulsory. You're representing your company and you father's" "Can you...." "No Donald, don't complete that statement. I'm not going in for you, I'm not the heir to the company. Here's the invitation card." He dropped the card on the table. I sighed and wondered what Clara and Courtney are doing at home. Courtney I stood firmly in the room and watched as Donald left for work. "Are you deaf?" She yelled. "No" I said calmly when I heard the front doo

~ Courtney ~ I was waiting for Donald and Clara to go for the dinner night so I can lock the doors and retire to bed. It's been a long day especially with Clara around. I watched as she came out of Donald's room dazzling and I felt a little bad for myself. I've never dressed like a real lady. Then Donald came out and looked at Clara, I was expecting him to complement her beauty or cloth or anything instead he turned to me. "Be my date Courtney" he said. My heart stopped beating for a second. "What?? Me??" I asked in surprise while Clara glared at me "Yes, please be my date" he said more confidently. "Ohmahgawd, I can't" I said quickly. Clara smiled triumphantly while Donald looked down defeatedly. Just to wipe the smile of Clara's face, I looked at Donald and smiled so sweetly. "On a second thought, I'll be glad to be your date." "No you can't. I'm his girlfriend not you." Clara blurted out angrily. I eyed her down" give me a minute, I'll

Courtney The first thing I did when we got home was pack her belongings from Donald's room. I unlocked the door and found her sleeping with an angry look. When you're asleep, aren't you supposed to be an angel? It's the exact opposite for Clara. Even in her sleep she looked like the devil that she is. I put her luggages beside the bed and closed the door. I couldn't sleep all night, I kept tossing and twisting on the bed, having a bad feeling in my mind. I yawned tiredly and freshened up, keeping the dress I bought yesterday in a box on my wardrobe then began my house chores. "What are my luggages doing here?" Clara yelled from her room and I happened to be in the hall way. "That'll be your new room Clara" I replied. "You don't call me Clara, you call me madam and you can't tell me what to do in this house, my house" "I only respect those who deserves it and you don't also, last I checked Donald and I own this house. The only difference is he pays the b

~ Clara ~ I woke with a weird feeling, knowing something wasn't right. I looked around in my new room, nothing seemed out of place. I laid my head on the headboard and noticed the note sticking out from it. The first thought that ran through my mind was "is he around?" ~For the safety of my boss~ What does that mean? Guess I didn't have to think long cause I saw what it means. I picked up my phone and made a call. "What do I do? She's frustrating me. Things aren't going according to plan" I said to the person on the other side. "I guess she isn't call bossy maid for nothing then." He chuckled "You can cook for them" he added suggestively. "What do you mean cook for them? You want to turn me to their maid? Even Donald isn't really looking my way anymore" "That's why I said you should coooook for both of them. Either way he must be out of the picture so the companies can be transferred to me. Do your job well and I'll pay you generously" I smiled hap

~ Clara ~ I don't understand why I was feeling unwasy. The poison I put in their food should be taking effect now. I glanced at Donald and found him sweating. It has started work on Donald but why isn't anything happening to Courtney? "Let's celebrate!" I said and poured wine in their cup "Cheers to new beginning" I added smugly "Yeah cheers" Courtney clicked her her with mine while Donald was scratching his neck. "Oh, I hope you don't mind" Courtney cut me out of my reverie "I switched food with yours. I was craving for beef "so I switched food with yours since it had beef" I dropped my spoon with a clang and beads of perspiration former on my forehead instantly. I ate the poisoned food. The first thought that ran through my mind is getting the antidote. Thankfully, I always carry a poison healing herb with me. I stood up quickly and ran to my room, still in daze. That explains the uneasiness I was feeling. Damn them if they are suspicious of my

**** "I don't understand you" I continued when we entered the car "if I'm to be treated like a queen, why are you driving when we have an entire entourage behind us?" I asked "Because I'm treating you like a queen, durh" "I'll think of you as my driver then" I smiled satisfactorily. "I have a very juicy news" he licked his lips. "I can see it's really juicy for you to lick your lips, did you taste the juice?" He glared at me and concentrated on driving. Knowing him, I knew he would continue talking. "My three year old girl is dying to see you. She even decorated her bedroom and expects you to share the room with her" he said admiringly. "I knew she would always be smart, smarter than her father who paid an entire entourage to accompany us home" "It's was her idea, so that means I'm smarter" he bit his cheeks to surpress himself from laughing. "Wow that's so smart of her, she deserves a medal." I replied wiping the smile off his face. "Hmph.." he

Five years later, Courtney I stood at the arrival terminal in the airport, looking for my ride home. I had travelled to Europe for college with the help of Div and Donald and graduated with an upper class in law. I specifically chose to major in law so I can lend my voice to those that are voiceless. I saw a flag raised up with the name CounterKnee. I shook my head and walked to the person who was busy chatting away on his phone with a big smile on his face. I smacked him on the arm "Didn't I tell you not to call me CounterKnee?" I playfully glared at him. "What do you expect me to do when I miss you so much?" He grinned at me "Should I blush now or what?" "None, a hug will do" I hugged him tight "it's been five years" "I know right, it feels like yesterday and it also feels like ages ago" We disengaged from the hug and he collected my luggages from me, leading me to sleek car and I noticed an entourage. "Please don't tell me you hired

Donald "I knew something was up with that Uncle of yours. I never liked him." Mum said after I narrated everything to her. "I still can't believe he tried to kill me and Courtney." "I haven't told your father about it. You mentioned Div just now?" "Yeah, he's the one that helped" "That's new, the Div I heard about is cruel and he's a Drug Lord." Mum explained. "A drug Lord? Courtney got herself involved with a drug Lord? Is that why the police man saluted to him" "Maybe..... I'll head over to the police station. They should wrap up the case, we aren't making any charges. He's dead, we don't need to mention his case in court." I shrugged and eyed mother who was staring at me with mischief. I went over and hugged her tightly. "About Courtney" mum started. "Don't even go there mum..... don't" I disengaged from the hug and flashed her a grin then went to the kitchen where I met Flynn and Eva cooking. It was a sight to behold. "We're sorry,

"What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money" My heart plummeted down, I wanted the money for college so I can't rent an apartment till I apply. "I want to work for my money" I argued "No, you've worked enough. I'm going to sponsor you to college and you can always consider this place as home" I wanted to raise my head and look at him. He pressed my head back against his chest "No don't look at me" "Thank you" I said with so much sincerity. "You deserve it CounterKnee" " Sorry to break you guys up, but what the heck happened?" Another voice said "Mum" Donald cried out, not masking the surprise in his voice. His mum?!

*** He stared at me as if he couldn't believe what he was wearing and pulled me into a hug. I let myself be hugged and relax in his embrace. It's finally over, we conquered our nightmares. "Know the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw you?" He asked, his chin resting on my head. I shook my head negatively against his chest. "Who's this fierce beautiful petite lady with wild chestnut hair who isn't afraid of my cold aura and broke through, now I have a warm heart willing to love." "What do you think when you see now, after you know, everything?" I asked "Wow, my bossy maid is one hell of a strong woman, beautiful and fierce at the same time, selfless too. She's one of the people I hold dear to my heart now." I blushed, surprised someone still thinks of me as beautiful. "What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money"

ourtney ️ I watched helplessly as the policemen took Div away. "I'll be okay and probably be back in the night" he said as they took him away but that didn't alleviate my worry. Killing Simon was self defense, the police should know that. Seeing I wasn't convinced "what about bringing your flowers this night?" I smiled and nodded in agreement. After he left with the police, an ambulance came to carry Simon's corpses and I was asked to vacate the room without cleaning as they need evidence. I packed my belongings and moved them to Donald's room. I sat on his bed, reminiscing. Simon is really dead, my nightmare is gone. It still felt surreal. Donald entered and sat quietly beside me. "I'm so sorry Nora, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he pleaded. I looked at him and placed my hands on his, "If I were you, I wouldn't have believed a stranger over my blood too so I'm not angry."

Shocks
Donald I entered the room and stood in shock as I watched Uncle fall slowly to the ground with a strange man holding a gun. I glanced at Nora, she was holding a gun too. Where did she get the gun? "Who the fuck are you?" I wanted to ask but the words died down in my mouth when I saw her run to the strange man. For a moment, my heart surged with gratitude towards the strange man. He save Nora. I didn't mind that Uncle is dead, after all he had been planning to kill me too. "Who are you?" I wanted to ask again but the police men interrupted this time. They looked at the gun in the strange man's hand and Simon's corpse. "You are under arrest sire" The police man saluted before talking which only made me more curious. Who exactly is this man standing here??

*** After I killed him, she ran over and hugged me, surprising me completely. My sister was the only person that could hug me, here, another person is taking her place. I hugged her back not caring about the person behind me who should be the owner of the house. Hugging another person after a long while felt good and refreshing so I held on to her, not worried about the blood seeping into my clothes. "B-bo-boss" Jeff stammered. "Just kneel and raise your hands up till I come back and clean the mess here" "W-where are you going?" "Police station." Just as I said it, a batch of policemen entered fully armed and took in the state of the room including the kneeling Jeff.

DIV While I asked Jeff to stay guard of the house, I also stationed two more people. When I got report that Simon was heading to her room and destroying things in his bedroom, I knew he was going to do something other than having sex with her this night. So I got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I told her I won't let his blood stain her hands and I'm a man of my words. I'm not going to let her go to jail because of him. I couldn't protect my sister then and she's going to be angry if I don't help Nora. I entered in time to see him choking her and her pulling the gun I gave her out. I stood, watching the entire exchange, waiting for the right time to make a move. When he pointed the gun at her, I pulled my gun out and was about shooting. Then she threw the lamp at his hand, aiming perfectly. She picked the gun quickly and made to aim. I took action then and killed him. From my research, the Simon of a man has about twenty more people in ca
