Rebecca found herself in bed. She stirred and felt the panging head ache that hit her. She groaned out loud in pain as she looked around the room. She was in her room alright, but she didn't understand how she got here. Last thing she remembered was that she was at a club with Myles and his friends so what was she doing here? She heard a ringing sound and groaned again. It felt like the sound was making the pain in her head more excruciating. She looked around and spotted her phone on the bed side table. It was ringing.
Letting out a sigh, she leaned towards the table and grabbed the phone as it rang on the table, vibrating on the table. She peered into the screen and saw the unknown caller id that was displayed on the screen.
Who could that be? And why the hell were they calling at, was it? Still seven a.m in the morning? She wanted to ignore the calls. She badly wanted to do that. But then she reasoned that it could be urgent. God forbid that she would re
"Here." Thomas said as he threw a bunch of news papers on the table before Ashton while he was drank tea. "That is the weekly report of our acceleration in the stocks." He told him as he went to take a seat at the other side of the table. Ashton eyed the bunch of neatly wrapped papers for a beat. Then he placed the tea cup down unto it's saucer as he stretched his fingers and picked up the paper. He carefully unfolded them and sure enough, the first news that met his eyes, written in bold colors were about their stocks." 'Gomez Enterprises to go on a dollar spree since they had accumulated quite a fortune since their departure from Knowles '?" Thomas said and he looked away. Then he let out a scoff. "What do these bloggers think we're blood thirsty vampires who are going for the necks of one another? This is the third time in a row that they're fucking infiltrating in our stocks!" He said getting riled up while Ashton continued to read through the paper.I
Ashton watched Thomas walk out the door and saw the door slam shut behind Thomas. He knew something was up but couldn't tell. He just had to place it on the fact that Thomas was still upset about this whole blogger's nonsense and so he was only heading out to feel a bit better. He made a mental note to treat him to a couple of his favourite drinks at their usual bar later when he was back from wherever he was headed to at the moment.While he waited for him, he would check if the freelance jobs he had applied for online would go through. So he grabbed his laptop computer and began scrolling through his email to see if anyone had responded to his applications. There were quite a few newer emails but nothing of them showed that his applications had been received nor had they viewed his portfolio. He let out a sigh and pushed the laptop computer away from his front. He let out a sigh and looked at the screen dejectedly.Suddenly, an email popped up on his scre
Ashton let out a scoff at Theron's accusations. What was he yapping on about? He wondered. What the hell was he saying. "After you had had your day's fill with my sister and now you're seeing other women?" Theron asked again and this time, Ashton shook his head in disbelief at Theron's audacity. "Bold of you to make such claims as that." He told him. Theron let out a scornful laughter. "What is the case then if I am telling a lie?" He asked him with wide eyes. Then Thomas turned to Elizabeth. "And you," he said spitefully to her. "do you even think you're any better? You're as bad as he is and that is because you're moving around like a freak....." Ashton had had enough of his antics and so the next thing was that Theron was flying into the air and to a corner right there in that restaurant. Ashton was fuming, he had shoved Theron away and be didn't waste any time further as he immediately folded the sleeves of his shirt while he approached Theron with a mean glare. On seeing him
Rebecca thanked the police officer who had called her to inform about Theron's arrest."Thank you so much sheriff," she said to him. "I really appreciate your call. "She said to him."Anytime Ms Knowles." The sheriff said and she nodded. He then turned his attention to the junior officer who was standing beside him and spoke. "Go get Mr Knowles. " He commanded and the junior officer saluted and left.Rebecca stood there impatiently as she waited. She hated that she had to do this. Her brother just had to get into a fight. Was he insane? What was wrong with him? Wasn't he aware of his social status? Getting into a fight in public was he insane? He knew very well that he was a major stakeholder in Knowles Corps!Soon Theron was led out of the station still cuffed. Luckily he wasn't beaten and so he had no bruises on him.Rebecca eyed him wearily as she watched the junior sheriff take off the cuffs from his wrists. Theron rubbed his
"The Ashwagandha plant." Ashton muttered the moment he opened his eyes. He hadn't realised until now that he had been sleeping all these while. He could not even fully comprehend the dream he just had.What was this dream about and what was this ashwagandha plant he was dreaming about? He wondered as he looked around him. Was it some sort of folklore or something? He asked himself as he sat up from his bed.What was this dream about? He quickly got up from his bed as he went over to his laptop computer and booted on the system. After which he typed in the name he had muttered out loud right from the moment he had woken from sleep.On the screen of his laptop computer, the time was four fifteen a.m and he knew that this was supposed to be the time many other people would get up and prepare for their day's activities.Ashton hastily typed in the word; ashwagandha planted into the system and waited for the computer to fetch the inform
Rebecca didn't quite understand why she was fond of and found herself comfortable in the presence of Myles' friends. She simply couldn't grasp the reason why she was getting comfortable with Myles' friends inviting her over to their hangouts. Today they were sitting out at a park and having a mini picnic party. Everyone who was invited to the hangout were asked to get something for the group, something somewhat fancy and compulsorily eatable. She found herself holding a basket containing all kinds of fruits as she got off from her car and eyed the people who were seated on spread blankets on the soft grass. She had the thought of changing her mind and going back but she shook her head. She wasn't doing this because she wanted to do it after all. She was only doing it to gain connection with them. Especially with Elizabeth Cooper. Who knew, if she became close friends with the daughter of Theophilus Cooper she was bound to get him to favour her as well as wipe away the narrative he h
Rebecca let out a small and sinister smile. She had achieved what she wanted to achieve. She knew the truth and was glad that Laura's action had proven it more. Laura angrily grabbed the bottle and spun it. She probably wanted it to land on Rebecca but unfortunately it didn't. It landed on Elizabeth. Laura let out a small sigh and that seemed to excite Rebecca more."Truth or dare Elizabeth?" She asked her while eyeing Rebecca."Truth." Elizabeth responded and glanced around the room."Is it true that you and Myles were once in a relationship of some sorts?" She asked as she glanced at Rebecca, her temper lowered as she was getting her sweet revenge now. Or so she thought. Rebecca's subconscious rolled her eyes.What a bitch, she thought.Elizabeth let out a chuckle while Myles remained silent. She knew the group was suspecting this already."Well," Elizabeth said. "I wouldn't say we dated. We were just cl
After Rebecca had given the piece of paper to Elizabeth, she smiled warmly at her while Laura rolled her eyes."Is she now your bestie, huh?" Laura asked. She looked quite offended even though she tried her best to make it look like she was joking.Elizabeth chuckled at that."Laura baby," Elizabeth said. "You of all people know how dear you are to me. Your spot in my heart is irreplaceable. You are my bestie for life. " She said and that seemed to warm Laura's heart. Her eyes warmed up too as they no longer held any form of annoyance.Rebecca on her part wasn't exactly excited that Laura and Elizabeth made themselves besties. She rolled her eyes when she saw that no one was looking.That bitch just had to always ruin whatever Rebecca tried to do."Why don't we play some other game?" Myles asked and everyone turned to look at him. He had on his face, this mischievous smile on his lips and that seemed to bother R
