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.
Tamira got on her feet and so did I. We both stepped out of my house and went to meet the man."Tamira! How are you?! I hope that brute did not touch you." he exclaimed so dramatically."No Thomas. Devon would never do anything bad to me." Tamira said to him. "Just take me home," she added.Thomas opened the front door so Tamira could seat beside him in the front but instead of going in, Tamira opened the door to the back seat and sat the. Thomas was annoyed by her action but didn't say anything. He shut the door and went round to the driver's seat, giving me a warning look before sitting and closing the door.They drove off and just as they did, I saw my uncle returning. It seemed to me like he was hiding or something.Uncle Francis went inside, completely ignoring me as he passed by and shut the door. At the same time, I spotted Jason approaching. Remembering the assignment I gave him, I also moved forward to meet him."Any information about my uncle? You followed him last night rig
"Sir. I'm afraid we can't do that. Do you have a doctor's permit?" the seller asked me."Since when did I need a doctor's permit to buy poison?" I questioned him."Okay, sir. 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? Did you steal it?" he asked.Enough was enough for me. I have had it with people looking down on and insulting me just because I was poor. I grabbed the man by his collar and flung him over the counter to the side I was standing. He landed painfully on the floor.Holding on to his shoulder, he groaned and crawled away from me on his butt. "Are you going to sell the poison to me or not?" I asked as I towered over him."I'm going to call the cops that's for sure," he
I watched as his eyes closed up slowly. My uncle was gone now. I flung it aside by the chin. That was the end of that hypocrite in my life.The door opened and I turned to see who it was. Jason walked in and was about to tell me something he suddenly saw my uncle's dead body on the floor and kept mute."This..." Jason said, in a calm voice.Jason walked over to where the body lay. He lifted my uncle's arm and dropped it then did it again and again."Devon! Your ki..." I placed my hand over Jason's mouth and removed it after he got the message I was trying to pass across."You killed your uncle?" he asked, in a whisper."The bastard got what was coming to him," I replied. "I have no regret about what I did," I added."Devon. You could go to prison because of this." Jason warned. I laughed at his words."What is so funny? We are in a dangerous situation right now." Jason panicked."What is funny is the way people react to murder. When a rich man kills a poor man it is somehow considered
The car parked in the middle of the scene and turned out to have carried along with the press as they all came storming out of the car. 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. So can we all see your proof that he is indeed responsible for w
Mrs. Wilson POV:I knocked over the glass table as I lifted it with force with both of my hands. It smashed into pieces and I felt some pieces hit and cut the skin of my legs but I didn't care. The pain was nothing compared to the anger I was feeling.How dare she?! That little bastard! How dare she?! I tried my best to work from the background, to ruin the life of the man who thinks he can stain my image with his presence! But what did my foolish brat of a daughter do?!That's right! She threw me right in the trash! She exposed my name to the press and live to the whole world!My daughter accused me and pointed fingers at me! I will make her pay for this regardless of her being my daughter. She will face my wrath and once I see her stupid face after she returns, I will tear it apart!Right in the middle of my rage, my phone rang.I checked to see who was calling but it was from an unknown number."Hello?" I said as I answered the call."Hello madam. Madam please I need your help." th
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. "It's a long story," I said as I took out a hankie and wiped my crocodile tears. "I'm sorry Mrs. Wil
"Well. Xavier, it's been a while since I last heard from you and your brother. You two are not plotting against me right?" I asked Xavier."You know we would never do that mother. You always have been and always will be the leader of the mafia." Xavier replied."You and your brother are still next in line as co-bosses. Don't forget that. 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?" I asked him."Of course, we can. You are aware of how capable we both are but then something happened," Xavier said."Well... Alex go
"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. Devon, I am sure it is not all but most of these rich people want the po
