Some minutes passed by and I kept taking glass after glass of alcohol, feeding the anger in me.

"Isn't that a little too much babe?" the man beside me asked. I ignored him as I gulped down what remained in the glass I was holding. I took the bottle in my hand and the man next to me held my hand.

"Hey! Let go of me!" I yelled at him and he did just that.

I stuck my tongue out at him and he just returned it with a disgusted look. 

"What you are doing is not lady-like and you can't handle your liquor," he said.

"You are not the boss of me," I told him.

"Really? How about I take you home with me. I don't think you can walk home in this condition." the man said and I got on my feet, staggered forth and back a bit then vomited on his suit.

He bolted up to his feet and looked down at the mess on his suit. "Do you have any idea how much that costs?!" he yelled at me.

I laughed, hiccupped, and emptied my bottle on his shoes. "Stay away from me. All you care about is money." I said. I tried to walk away and almost tipped while doing so. The stranger grabbed my hand and dragged me closer to himself.

"I'll make sure you pay for this," he said, with gritted teeth.

"Hey!" I exclaimed when he started to drag me along.

"Hey, you! She hasn't paid for her drink!" I heard the bar attendant shout.

"Bill it on her friends!" the man who held me said in response.

The moment we were out of the club I pulled my hand away and pushed him. "Have you been stalking me? How did you know I came with friends?!" I questioned him.

"That's none of your business now come with me! Your mother is very worried about you," he said.

"So my mother sent a spy to me?!" I said and dodged his hand.

"Don't try to resist Tamira," he said and I slapped him. He glared at me furiously. 

"Do you know who I am?!" he asked. "Get into my car now! You are coming home with me!" he said.

"No!" I opposed and started to force myself in. 

Just when I was pushed into the back seat of the car, I heard a loud sound and noticed that the stranger was no longer pushing me. I looked to see that the stranger was lying on the floor.

"What the..." I didn't have any clue on what to say and didn't even understand what was happening.

A hand was stretched out to me and I saw that it was Devon.

Devon POV:

I waited till when Tamira was being pushed into the stranger's car and that was when I jumped into action.

I tapped him on his shoulder and when he turned around I punched him straight in the face. The weakling fell and didn't even move a bit. My single blow had knocked him unconscious.

I reached out to Tamira who then looked straight at me. Without a word, she placed her hand in mine. I helped her out of the car and she fell on me. 

"Tamira?" I called but she didn't answer. I lifted her face by the chin and saw that she was knocked out and a strong smell of alcohol surrounded her.

I noticed that her driver wasn't there and neither was her car. I think now I have to take her to my own house instead. Her foolishness had ruined my plans to show up at her place again.

I carried Tamira in a bridal style and started to walk home. It was tiring getting here and it was even worse carrying Tamira and getting back to my house.

After a long-lasting two and a half hours, I arrive at my home. I kicked the door open and placed Tamira on the mat at the side.

The door opened again and I turned around sharply. My uncle walked in and when he saw Tamira he froze in horror where he stood.

"Where did you just come from?" I asked him.

Uncle Francis snapped out of whatever it was. "I... I... Devon, I should be the one questioning you. Why is Tamira Wilson doing in our home by this time of the night?! Do you want to get us in deep trouble?!" he said, nervously.

Just like in the afternoon, uncle Francis was shaking like a scared little mouse. I knew that there was something wrong.

I stood up from beside Tamira. "She was drunk and a man was trying to take her against her will. Why are you asking such questions? Didn't you teach me to help those in need?" I said.

Uncle Francis slapped his palm against his forehead. "You have no idea of what the consequences of your action might just be," he said to me.

I scoffed. "You still haven't told me where you have been uncle," I said.

His eyes widened. Whatever it was that my uncle was trying to keep from my knowledge he was terrible at hiding his fear. 

"What is it that you are not telling me, uncle Francis?" I asked.

"Nothing is there to tell. Get Tamira out of our house early. Did you not sleep at all? It's already three o'clock. And where were you before you saw Tamira?" he asked.

I returned to the mat, the same one I laid Tamira on, and sat there beside her. "I will take her to her home by six," I told my uncle. 

He looked angry but he didn't take any action against me. Uncle Francis punched the wall and then left, slamming the door hard. 

You know what my dear uncle? I think I should let Mrs. Wilson come and pick up her daughter. I laid down on the second mat just to rest a bit. I was woken up by someone shouting outside my house.

"Hey! Bring Miss Tamira out right now!" a man's voice sounded.

I got up and went to check. It was the same man that was forcing her into his car last night. He spotted me and he glared at me. "What do you want with her?" I asked him.

"I don't have to answer you. Where is Tamira?!" he asked me.

I closed the door and went to Tamira. I tapped her but she didn't wake up the first few times and I had to shake her awake. Tamira sat up.

"Ouch," he said, holding on to her head and squeezing her eyes shut. "What happened?" she asked.

"You had too much drink, that's what.", I answered.

Tamira opened her eyes and her eyes met with mine. She panicked and moved away from me.

"I was what?! How did I get here?! Oh my gosh did we..." Tamira wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"No.", I answered immediately after I understood what she was implying.

"Oh my God.", Tamira said, holding her head again. "But why don't I remember a thing?" she asked and I shrugged.

"Tamira!" the man's voice sounded again. He must have heard Tamira's voice from outside.

Tamira rolled her eyes. "You know him?" I asked.

"He's just some idiot my mom wants to get to know.", Tamira answered.

Hearing Tamira say that I knew I had to act quickly if I wanted her to fall for me.

May I know what the reason for your purchase is?" he asked."I have a rat problem," I said. The seller scanned me from head to toe with his eyes and then he laughed. "Rat problem?" he asked me and laughed some more."You don't even look like you have a home, talk less of it being infested with rats. Tell me, young man, where did you get the money from?

From the driver's side of the car, a leg stepped out and then the person in question came to view completely."Miss Tamira," Simon said, not expecting to see her at all. And I must admit, even I did not expect to see her here."Officers. This man is innocent." Tamira said, taking off her glasses."I am afraid that's for the law to decide Miss Tamira Wilson." the officer, who seemed in charge, replied Tamira."We are only abiding by the law Miss Tamira," he added."Oh really? Officer if I may ask, when did this so-called murder take place?" Tamira asked."We believe it to be last night," he answered."And how did you find out about it?" Tamira asked."Through a witness." the officer answered. The press made sure to capture every moment of this in pictures and video form."Good. Very good.

    I raised my right hand and there was silence. That was how much people respected and feared me. "I will answer your questions but only one at a time," I told the journalists. "Let that one in," I said, pointing at one of the journalists, one that I knew very well. I knew that she would surely help me get out of this scandal one way or the other. My security guards let her pass along with her cameraman as well. "Thank you for this opportunity, Mrs. Wilson," she said. "You are welcome," I replied. "Okay Mrs. Wilson, my first question goes like this. Do you have anything to do with that poor man? I mean, the one who was accused of murder. Do you know him at all?" she asked. "No. I have no idea who he is." I answered. "Thank you, madam. Now I need to know this, if you didn't know that man then how come your driver and your daughter knew him?" she asked me and I burst into tears.

Speaking of your brother, how is Alex doing?" I asked."Alex is fine. He's busy out somewhere partying. You know there is not much difference between him and Tamira. If only Tamira was not as gullible as our father." Alex said and I laughed."What can I say? I married for the money. Not for love. So tell me, why did you call all of a sudden?" I asked Xavier."Oh right. I almost forgot about that. Mr. Cranston wants to speak with you in person." Xavier answered."Why? Can't you and your brother handle things over there?"

    "None. I haven't heard from her for two days now. I figured something must be wrong somewhere." I answered Jason."Do you think we should check on her? Or maybe her parents won't let her out?" Jason asked me."Maybe," I repeated the word. "Anyways, for now, I just want to finish eating what my friend brought me," I said and Jason laughed."Sadly, they won't give u jobs just because we look like we can't handle it or we look like we'd steal their money and run away," Jason said."Or because we look like we will chase the customers away with our stench. Jason, not even a pig rearer would hire us." I said and laughed."But still, is it not people with needs that look for jobs? If we had jobs that pay well we wouldn't look like this. And if only the money they gathered and said it would be donated to the poor was given to the poor. People can tell all sorts of lies in politics." I said."You are not wrong about that.

    "Okay. I'll go now." I said to mother. "Be careful," she replied as she waved at me. I went from enough and then hid among the trees before changing into city clothes. I found my eyes in the city and although I was amazed at what it looked like, I felt familiar with it. I breathed in some air and then coughed. What was that? I turned and saw a car. Smoke was coming out of the other end. I ran away from it and I almost got hit by another one which was passing by. I ran out of the way and after I did, I saw the car reverse and stop. A door opened and I ran into hiding. I watched from my hiding spot as a man came out of the car and began to yell. "Tamira," he said. I watched him give up and return to the car. The car drove away and I came out of where I was hiding. Was that man going to run me over on purpose? And how crazy can the people here get? Just came out and shouted then returned to his car. Strange. I strolled around the city, making sure not to forget the road I took to

    ... *FLASHBACK* TAMIRA POV: Mrs Wilson jammed me off the road and as my car crashed, some part of it jammed into my stomach. I crept out of my car in great pain. I already regretted trying to escape on my own in the first place but maybe it's better than another day with that witch. I lay on my back on the floor and the last image I saw was Mrs Wilson's face staring down at me as she stood over me triumphantly. My eyes shut down and all around me was nothing but darkness. *After that moment*I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. "Where... Where am I?" I questioned as I sat up and placed my palm on my aching forehead. I looked around from where I was seating up and saw that I was in some sort of shelter that looked like huts from tribes in the old days. I tried to get off what I took to be the bed but my stomach pains struck and I screamed. A woman ran into the hut."Are you alright?!" she exclaimed. I shifted away from her as she stepped closer. "Who are you?" I a

    "Devon stop! Stop it!" Jason shouted and dragged me to himself. I began to punch Jason in the stomach but Jason held me tight in a hug. Tears escaped my eyes and soon I weakened. "I love her so much Jason. How can I live without her? What good is the money without her?" I whispered. I knew Jason was in pain from the punches I gave him but he did not bring it up, "you have to let her go Devon. You have to." Jason said to me, softly and I cried. "She is not dead. And I will find her." I said. I parted from Jason and looked at Mrs Wilson one last time. "Let's go," I said to them and turned away, heading out of the building. It was another one-hour drive before I reached what was now known to be my mansion instead of the Wilsons'. Mr Hamilton had already gone back home. I was about to walk into my home when Jason stopped me, "if you want I can stay back. Just to keep you company." Jason said to me. "Thank you. But I think I'll stay alone." I replied.

    With the speed I was in, it didn't take long before I reached the police station. I hopped out of my car and pushed away the officer who wanted to approach me. I passed the gates and entered the main building. "Where is she?!" I asked the first officer I saw in the police station. "Where is who?" he questioned me. "Mrs Wilson! Where is she?!" I answered. "Why are you looking for her sir?" the officer asked me, not minding how I barged in. I left the officer standing there and went in to look through the cells. "I know you are here Mrs Wilson Wilson! Show yourself right now!" I shouted. I searched all the cells but failed to find her. I came out and walked straight to the officer I had left and I grabbed him by the collar. "How come she is not in there?! So you people dared to release her?! Die she find extra money to bribe you with?!" I yelled at the officer. "Call down sir!" the officer exclaimed. "You dare tell me to calm down?!" I replied, ready to throw a punch at his fa

    "Me Devon Wilson." someone among them said my name. All the people present in the meeting got up and did not stop staring at me. "We never thought we would be in the same room with the next big thing," he spoke again. "Yes. The next big thing." Mr Hamilton said and walked towards me. After reaching where I was, Mr Hamilton saw Gale and Jason standing t the door. Mr Hamilton glared at Gale and then turned to me, "Sir what are you doing here?" Mr Hamilton asked me. "I came to ask you about Tamira," I answered. "Right now? Mr Devon, I thought I already told you about it. What happened in the past." Mr Hamilton said, almost in a whisper. We both spoke in a tone that we wouldn't be heard by the people from the meeting. "Not that Mr Hamilton. I need to find her right now." I said to Mr Hamilton. "What?!" Mr Hamilton exclaimed and then placed his hand over his mouth when he realized he shouted it. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Mr Hamilton said and came out of the meeting room wit

    Just as I said that to Jason, I received a call. "Who is it?" Jason asked me. "I don't know. It doesn't say." I answered Jason. I answered the call and placed the phone on my ear, "hello?" I said. "Hello, Devon. How is your new life treating you?" the caller said. I recognized the voice to be Grenade's and I parked the car. "You bastard. Where are you?" I said to Grenade. "Who's that Devon?" Jason asked again. "It's Grenade," I answered Jason. "By the tone of your voice, I can tell you already know." Grenade said to me. "Yes, I know! How long did you think you could hide your real personality? So you were working with Mrs Wilson the entire time?!" I replied. I heard Grenade laugh from the other side of the phone, "I was once loyal but where did that get me? Nowhere! I worked next in command to Mr Cranston and what did that old fool do?! He gave all his money, all his property, to some newbie!" Grenade yelled. "And you. You of all people! You got all that and didn't even thin

    "Let's just make the most of it while we still can," Jason suggested. "How do you mean?" I asked Jason. "You have a quintillion dollars cooling in your account. What do you mean how?" Jason asked me. I got what he was trying to say, "I'm not sure if it's in my account or still in Mr Wilson's account. After all, I was only told that I had a quintillion dollars in my name." I said to Jason. "Then we should ask the bodyguards about it," Jason replied. "They are just my bodyguards. What would they know?" I questioned Jason. "Let's just ask. You'll never know till you try." Jason said to me. "Call them over and ask," Jason added. I did as Jason said and called them over, "about the money I have in my name, do any of you guys know if it's in my bank account or Mr Wilson's bank account?" I asked the bodyguards. "It has already been transferred into your account hours back sir." one of the bodyguards answered me. That was fast... "See? They knew. So let's go." Jason said, excitedly.

I said to Mr Hamilton. "Calm down sir. You will understand it all soon enough. I will explain it to you." Mr Hamilton said. "You see, Mr Wilson had always been a close friend of mine. He shared all his plans with me and I was a loyal and good enough friend to keep all he told me secretly. I knew about the switch since the beginning." Mr Hamilton said to me. "What switch?" I asked Mr Hamilton. "The switch that was made at your birth. You are the son of Mr Wilson. He soon found out about you but only after his wife had already killed your parents." Mr Hamilton explained. "He knew who I was this entire time?!" I exclaimed. "Yes." Mr Hamilton answered. "But then why didn't he say or do anything? He just let me live in poverty!

    Jason forced his way through and two hefty men shut the door behind him and blocked the door from being passed by others. "What's going on here?" I asked Jason, a bit in panic. "Devon you've made it! You have finally made it big. No, you made it fat!" Jason said to me. "What? I don't understand what you are trying to say." I told Jason. "You are mad rich! Crazy rich! Bastard rich! You have a quintillion dollars in your name! The first ever to be discovered!" Jason shouted in excitement. My eyes widened in shock, "how?!" I asked in amazement. "I was shocked too but it was true!" Jason shouted and shook me back and forth with his hands on my shoulders. "Ouch!" I shouted. "Oh, sorry," Jason said and then took deep breaths trying to calm himself down. "So can you now explain to me?" I asked Jason. "No-no-no," Jason answered. "Mr Wilson's lawyer will explain everything better," Jason told me. "You mean late Mr Wilson's lawyer?" I asked, unsure of what I heard him say. "Yes," Ja
