“Yes, yes… I’m his girlfriend” Zoey muttered,
annoyance clearly hinted in her voice.
“Gosh!! Come here, you’re so cute!!” Lucia
hugged her and her eyes widened.
The first Lady… Hugging her?? Someone calling
her cute??
She didn’t know if it’ll be right to hug her back
but she slowly hugged her back.
“Thanks… Ma’am” Zoey said.
Roland just looked at them, especially the look
on Zoey’s face. Somehow, he felt like it was a
facade..
“It’s 4pm. You guys are going to sleep over
right?” Lucia asked.
“Yeah… Sure” Bryce smiled.
“Great! I’ll have the maids to prepare your room”
Lucia said.
“Umm… What about mine?” Zoey said slowly.
“You two are a couple.. It won’t harm if you two
sleep in the same room incase you’ll want to”
Lucia wiggled her brows and giggled before
leaving.
Zoey frowned.. Sleeping in the same room with
Bryce??
“I’ll leave you two. Have an appointment to
attend to, please feel free.. It’s your home after
all” Roland smiled and left.
Zoey nodded with a smile. Immediately he was
out of sight, the smile on her face fell then she
glared at Bryce.
“So this was the reason why you wanted me to
come over and say yes to wh@tëver they asked
me!” Zoey flared up.
“Will you stop flaring up for once? Let me
explain myself… The thing is that, my parents
keep forcing ladies on me and I hàte that.. I
knew they were going to try it again so that’s
why I brought you here so they’ll think we’re
dating and finally let me breath” Bryce
explained.
“Oh really? What will it have have caused you if
you just said it to me that way instead of
twisting it around!! I would have at least know I
was coming here to pretend instead of giving
me false hopes!! I thought…” Zoey paused the
shouting as her chest rose and condensed
rapidly. She looked down.
“I thought that you wanted me to meet your
family because you thought of me as maybe
more than a friend” Zoey said the statement
calmly while looking down.
Bryce’s eyes widened and he started feeling
guilty.. Maybe that wasn’t the good idea to go
about it.
“Zoey-”
“Umm sir, the room is ready” A maid interrupted
them.
“Show me the way..” She muttered and left with
the maid.
Bryce sighed and followed them..
The maid led Zoey inside the room and she
looked round the room as she walked in. Bryce’s
room was really huge and screamed wealth.
She went and sat on the soft and fluffy bed to
remove her shoes..
“Zoey, why were you even mad earlier? You
shouldn’t be, remember all men are the same
and besides he’s the president son. Did you
really think he’ll one day pick interest in
someone like you? With all the high class Sëx¥
and sophisticated women out there?” Her
subconscious mind said..
“Yeah, you’re right..” She sighed and just then
Bryce walked in the room.
He went to her and sat beside her…
“Zoey I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was playing a
fóol out of you with my plans. I’m sorry if I hurt
you” Bryce said
“It’s okay.. You wouldn’t have known besides
there’s nothing between us so I’m in no position
to get mad” Zoey said with a poker face.
“Where’s the bathroom… I want to have a
shower” Zoey asked.
“The door over there..” Bryce pointed.
Zoey nodded with no hint of smile on her face
as she went in the bathroom.
Bryce sighed..
“She’s still mad”
Zoey made herself a bubble bath before she
stripped and entered the tub. She sighed as she
stared at the wall like there was something
interesting in it.
“Why… When did all these happen? When did I
started falling for him? I can’t let it happen…
Don’t want to experience that pain I felt” She
thought.
✮✮✮✮✮
The guards opened the door for Bryce and he
walked in the study room. His dad was back
and he was seen, sitting on a sofa while
reading.
“Dad..” He called and Roland turned to him with
a smile.
“Son, come sit beside me” He said and Bryce did
so..
“I know you coming here is not because you
missed us.. You have a motive, what is it?”
Roland asked and Bryce chuckled.
Roland always have this bad,, or should I say
good habit of always saying what he feels.
“I can’t hide anything from you dad.. Though I
missed you two but I also wanted to know
something. I wanted to know the day my brother
Kingston was kidnapped and how he looks like,
did he have this birthmark on the palm too?”
Bryce asked.
Roland sighed and closed the book.
“That day Kingston got kidnapped was one of
my saddest day and I can clearly remember it
like yesterday.. Back then I was still a senator
and it was on his 1st anniversary.. On the 3rd of
August” Roland said, reminiscing on the painful
past..
“To answer your second question, yes… He has
a birthmark on the palm like you and also he
has fox eyes with naturally red lips and brown
eyes.. That’s all I know but up till now, I’ll
recognize my son no matter how much he has
grown” Roland said.
Bryce nodded…
“Like I promised before leaving this place dad…
One day I’ll fully return will be with my brother
and I’ll make those who took him away from us
pay. Dad, I can feel it… I’m so closed to
achieving it” Bryce said..
“It isn’t necessary son.. I don’t want to loose you
too they’re many ways to find him other than
being a cop.. What if those people are bad guys
and they decide to come for your life?” Roland
said.
“I know dad… But sitting around will do us no
good, what if those people have my brother and
they’re willing to kill him at any given moment?”
Bryce said.
“I’ll find my brother and bring down those
people then like I promised you,, I’ll quit the
police and become a CEO like you’ve always
wanted me to be” Bryce said.
Roland sighed..
“You’re so stubborn” Roland smiled.
“Just like my father who married mom despite
the social gap between you two.” Bryce smiled.
“Alright.. I give you my blessing to find Kingston
but please don’t do it at the expense of your life.
” Roland said and Bryce nodded.
“And also.. I know that girl isn’t your girlfriend, I
could see it with the look on her face but I think
she has something for you and you too. If it’s
so, follow your heart son… Make her yours
before some other dude does”
“Yes Mr President” Bryce saluted and Roland
laughed
✮✮✮✮✮
“Can’t believe they died” Abbie cleaned her tears.
.
She was in one of Alex’s shirt and they were
both seated in front of the TV, watching
“Titanic” with Abbie sitting in between Alex’s
legs.
Alex wasn’t even with the movie but was busy
starring at her. It’s just so fascinating how she
just becomes more beautiful at each passing
day.
Abbie felt his gaze on his and she turned to look
at him..
“What? Is there something on my face..” Abbie
asked, touching her face.
“Yeah.. Beauty and cuteness” Alex replied while
smiling.
“Awww stop making me blush this way” Abbie
gushed, fanning her red cheeks and Alex
chuckled.
“Heart, can you go back to your natural hair
color? I wanna see how it looks on you” Alex
said and Abbie touched her hair.
“Really? You think so?” Abbie asked and Alex
nodded.
“Then I’ll do wh@tëver my sunshine wants” She
smiled cutely and Alex kissed her lips.
He deepened it and carried her in his arms
before standing.
“Let’s go for another round” Alex said and Abbie
giggled.
“Just go slowly.. It still hurts abit down there”
She muttered as they went in his room.
✮✮✮✮✮
6PM**
“Hahahaha!!!”
“Stop laughing!” Everett said
Everett frowned and rolled his eyes then
hastened his step while Alma followed behind
him, while laughing.
The weather was a bit chilly so you could see
both of them clad in pullovers. They were both
taking a walk round the city when they bumped
into each other and decided to continue
together.
The road was not that crowded and the sun was
setting, making the city look even more
beautiful.
Everett once told her one of his embarrassing
moments and Alma couldn’t help but laugh.
“Really? Your ex disgraced you the next day
after you lost your virginity to her. She posted
your d_1ck and tagged it ‘toothpick for sale'”
Alma laughed.
“Yeah… But it was back then, I was like 16 or 17,
I’ve grown” Everett said.
“Really? Did you really grow or you decided to
take enlargement pills” Alma said and laughed.
Everett sighed and dipped his hands in his
pullover then began walking. Alma caught up
with him and hugged his arm.
“Stop frowning… You look uglier” Alma smirked.
“I’ll stop frowning if you kiss me” Everett said
and Alma rolled eyes then released his arm
“But on serious note, what should I do for us to
date? I really like you” Everett stopped walking.
Alma looked at him then smirked.
“I’ll date you and even marry you this instance if
you make snow to fall right here, right now”
Alma said.
“Snow?! But we’re in summer?” Everett
exclaimed and Alma nodded..
Everett sighed.
“You’re very lame for a guy yunno.. Why don’t
you make me fall for you.. Buy me gifts, ask me
on dates, kiss me out of the blues, seduce me…
Anything that’ll make me fall for you” Alma said
She took slow steps towards..
“That’s all what any other guy would do but
you’re not any guy. You’re Everett, the annoying
guy I’ve always liked since high school but
never noticed me” Alma said and Everett’s eyes
furrowed in confusion.
“Do you remember me.. Miss fatty, the girl who
once confessed to you but you humiliated her
publicly?” Alma said and Everett’s eyes
widened.
“You?”
“Did I change so much? Is it coz I now act tough
or coz of my short hair or coz I’m now a
tomboy? Or..” Alma chuckled
He could still remember back then, when he was
18 a chubby girl came to confess to him but he
rejected her publicly
“Alma, I’m so sorry.. I-” Alma pecked his lips
“It’s okay, well partially coz I really h@tëd you for
that especially when you approached me at the
pool back then. Those hurtful words you said
made I decided to loose weight and get back at
you but as I got to know you now, I can see
you’ve changed a lot and besides you were still
a kid then” Alma said
Alma took his hand then began dragging him
away
“Come.. I know a pork restaurant who makes
great pork meat.. Let’s-”
Everett turned her around and without wasting
time he claimed her lips, holding her waist.
Alma’s eyes widened but it slowly closed and
she slowly responded to it, dipping her hands in
his hair as the night breeze blew on them
✮✮✮✮✮
searching in his wardrobe with his towel
wrapped round her body. She turned to Bryce
when he entered.
“Oh.. I’m sorry for prying in your privacy… My
clothes are dirty, just wanted to borrow one of
your shirt” Zoey said.
“Sure” Bryce nodded and turned his back for her
to dress…
“Zoey,, you’re still mad right?” Bryce asked
“Not really,, at least I know my stand here” Zoey
said, wearing the shirt.
“I’m done” She said and Bryce turned to her
“What do you mean by stand?”
“I’m not ready for another heartbreak Bryce… I
mean Mr lecturer. You’re the president son and
I’m just a daughter of a business man ” Zoey
said.
A knock came up
“Dinner is ready… Sir,, miss” The maid said and
left.
“I’ll be in the dining room” Zoey said and made
to leave but Bryce pulled her back and pinned
her against the door.
“What if I want nothing to change Between us
huh? What if I want to continue pissing you off
to see how cute you look when mad… I don’t
really care who you are, whether I’m the
president son or not, your lecturer or not… I don’t
really care but please don’t change anything
between us. I’m really sorry if what I did earlier
hurt you” Bryce said and tugged a piece behind
her ear.
Zoey just stared at him, eagerly expecting him
to say something else
“I like you,, a lot.. There I’ve said it” Bryce said.
“I’m not generally a lady’s man or someone who
associates a lot with girls nor I’m I generally this
lively with people but I don’t know,, ever since I
saw you at the club..looking cute when drunk, I
just felt..attracted to you and the more we
spend time together, I just could not longer
imagine my life without you” Bryce said.
He took her hand and kissed her knuckles..
“Will you my girlfriend for real this time?? I know
we’ve known each other for a short while but
that’s enough for me to know that I want to
have something serious with you… I promise I’ll-
”
Zoey pulled him down to her level and slammed
her lips on his. She broke it shortly with his face
hovering above hers.
“Just kiss me”
Without wasting time, Bryce held her waist and
reconnected back their lips together… Kissing
her slowly just like he always does.
✮✮✮✮✮
“I’m really sorry you had to go through all that..
I’m glad you’ve found back your sister and
everything is slowly falling back in places. Good
thing my son helped you if not I could have
disowned him” Veronica said and Estella
chuckled.
Like promised, she came over and at the
beginning she was really nervous but with the
warm way Veronica and Mr Lewis who just
happened to come back from one his trip
welcomed her, she felt just at home.
They were currently in the kitchen, cooking
dinner for the family since Estella who came
along with Aileen will be sleeping over.
Aileen was in Kate’s room while Rudy was
playing chess with dad in the living room.
“Feel free to come over with your sister okay?
You’re both welcomed in this family..”
KATE’S ROOM**
“I love your long hair.. You’re so pretty!!” Aileen
gushed as she was tied Kate’s hair in cute pig
tails.
“Thanks cutie… Though I’m not that cute like my
sister, trust me.. She’s a living doll” Kate said.
“Where’s she?” Aileen asked.
“She went to her boyfriend’s house… I’m sure
they must be Füçking right now” Kate said
“Just like my other sister. She literally lives with
the guy” Aileen sighed.
“We really do have questionable sisters” Kate
sighed and Aileen sighed too.
LIVING ROOM**
“How was your trip to Australia dad?” Rudy
asked..
“Was really tiring.. I’m just glad it’s over and I
can fully focus on the company”
“I hope you didn’t replace mom with some chick
there” Rudy said.
“C’mon son.. How can I replace her? Besides I’m
not ready to die an untimely death” Mr Lewis
whispered and Rudy laughed
(Some will be wondering where’s Rudy’s real
mom… Well she díed when Rudy was just a
baby)
“Well you better don’t cheat on me because if
not…” Veronica said, coming in.
“Dinner is ready” She added.
“Cool! I was starving!” Mr Lewis stood up. He
suddenly grabbed Veronica by the waist and
kissed her.
Veronica blushed and looked down.
“18 years and nothing changed” He said..
Veronica scoffed and left, tapping her red
cheeks. Rudy chuckled, watching them with his
hands in his pocket.
✮✮✮✮✮
Mrs Cooper parked her car in front of a club and
came out of it. She smiled and wore her shade
before going in.
Music was blaring from all corners of the club.
Some young couples, were dancing wildly while
some were drinking
Her eyes scanned round the room and she
smiled when she saw who she came for..
“He said he’ll be sitting at the right corner of the
club” She said and walked to him then sat in
front of him.
The man was sitting at a dark corner so his face
and body couldn’t be deciphered, only his
silhouette..
“Are you the man, I’m supposed to meet?” She
asked.
“The one and only… Who are you hiring me to
kíll and why?” The figure spoke.
Mrs Cooper opened her purse and placed then
brought out two pictures and placed it on the
table.
Well since the engagement got cancelled, her
husband is still thinking of another way but she
just can’t stand and do nothing.. She wants the
power and money right now even if it means
hiring someone to kíll them.
With Marshall and his first son gone, Alex will
be so pained and frustrated that he’ll have no
choice than to find refuge in them
The man picked Marshall’s and Lucas’s photo
she placed on the table and he stared at it..
“I want you to eliminate those two.. They’re
posing as a hindrance in achieving what I want”
Mrs Cooper said.
The figure stared at the picture and suddenly let
out a chuckle, then another chuckle before he
began laughing softly.
“I’m not even handsome in this pic”
“Why are you-”
The remaining words got stuck in her throat
when the lights of the disco ball shun on the
man’s face and it came to view.
Mrs Cooper’s eyes widened and her purse fell of
her hand due to shock.
“Lu- Lucas??”
