Mummy, let's go to daddy!

"Anamika, we need you to do this. In return, your brother's surgical expenses will be taken care of." Those words rushed through Anamika's mind as she stood in front of the door to room 101. Her hand was stretched, ready to sound the doorbell but for some reason, she couldn't get herself to do it. The feeling of fear and anxiety took her by storm and the chaotic throbbing of her heartbeat left no room for her to come up with a better idea. Of course, she knew this idea that Amelia and her mother came up with was the dumbest idea ever, yet, she accepted it and now she's about to dive into the depth of an unclear ocean. Anamika swallowed due to nervousness. Her sweaty palms reminded her that time was of the essence. Still, the fear of the unknown was becoming stronger with each passing second. She looked to her right, then left, the corridor was free of any soul but the glaring CCTV cameras were leeching on her like she owed them money. 'What's the worst that can happen?' she summo

Anamika stepped forward but those dead eyes staring back at her didn't let her take another step forward. She could only watch as Amelia walked further and further away like a soulless puppet until she entered an elevator door. Confusion laced Anamika's face as she stood there wondering what happened to Amelia. Just then, the door in front of her burst open, revealing a young and handsome man. But he was a tad less handsome than the stranger she slept with. He was Cullen Walkers. "What are you still doing here? I told you I don't ever want to see you anywhere around me!" Anamika jolted. She had admired him to the extent she forgot her place for a moment. His icy tone was a dead giveaway that he was very furious with Amelia. No wonder Amelia was like that. Did he realize that Amelia is not a virgin? But what Anamika didn't understand was, why would Amelia go to see Cullen when she hadn't called her to come over? Also, it was just a few seconds after 6. If the plan had worked,

Anamika got to the hospital, looking drained and shattered. She received a call from Nurse Beth to hurry over to the hospital after she was dragged out of the Wales mansion. Although Anamika had no idea why the nurse needed her so urgently, her instinct told her it was something she wouldn't be able to stomach. A distance away from her brother's ward, she could hear loud cries and those voices were her mother and sister's. Anamika took to her heels and barged into the ward to meet the cold lifeless body of her little brother. Her legs froze by the door as memories ran through her mind. In the family of four, only Martin treated her like a family would. Even though he was just 13, he was able to get their mother and sister to stop bullying Anamika whenever he saw them getting on her nerves. Martin promised her he would survive this... He told her that no matter what happened, he won't die because there won't be anyone else to protect her, but why… Why did he have to leave? Why

"I can see you're insane. It hasn't occurred to you after two weeks that Amelia's mother might have been searching everywhere for you. So you want to present yourself to Amelia and her mother on a platter of gold, is that it? has your situation made you stupid?!"Anamika wasn't listening, she was furious. She had the urge to tear Amelia apart. She believed that, if not for them, her brother wouldn't have died. If not for them, she wouldn't have had to give her virginity to her brother's murderer. If not for them, her beautiful fingers wouldn't have been burnt so badly.Anamika gritted her teeth with unrestrained fury. The hostility that was oozing out of her surprised Emma to the extent she froze for a while.When her mind snapped, she pulled Anamika and forced her to turn her back to Amelia, just in time before Amelia looked their way.Amelia narrowed her eyes at the two backs she was seeing. One of them looked like Anamika but she shook her head. The people her mother sent out to l

A knock sounded before the door was pushed open and then a young lady in a black skirt, wearing a nude shirt and black heels walked in, carrying a notepad and folder. "Ma'am, here is the list sent to us from Nairaland, of candidates who are vying to be the face of our beauty product in Nairaland.""Have you filtered through the candidates?" "Yes, they are majorly A–listers, but with two C–listers this time."Ms. Mika raised a brow, "C–listers?" "Yes, ma'am. Although we've always used A–list Celebrities for our products, the C– listers that were selected this time are extremely pretty. They have the perfect skin for our product, the type you've been looking for." The Assistant smiled."Oh, then I'd like to take a look." Ms. Mika took the folder from her Assistant and skimmed through them. The C–list Artists were indeed pretty, but there's more to being the ambassador of her company than just being pretty. Mika put aside the prettiest among the two and continued flipping through the
