Few minutes after dressing slutty, Michelle found her way out of the house. She took a cab and head straight to the address Frederick has sent to her. She grabbed her hair as her feet kept on banging the car. The driver annoyingly stared at her from the front mirror.
"Be calm ma'am, you'll compensate me if you ruin my car""I'm sorry" was her response.She was asking herself what's with her and rich men. Other people might be unlucky finding a rich man to rent them, but her... She got the third and second at the same time."We're here!" The driver announced. She paid him and stepped out of the car. Her mouth shot wide open as she stood in front of the club. It was the most popular and expensive club in the whole of the country.Her teeth gnashed against each other as she shivered in fear."Miss Rose?" Someone asked her. She nodded her head."My boss has been waiting" he said."Ah, sure" she said and followed him behind. She entered the club and squeezed her face. The sight of the strippers annoyed her even more."He's in the VIP suite. He's waiting for you" he said.Michelle found her way into the VIP suite. She looked around, looking for the man she hasn't seen before. She was even lucky because the whole of the suite was empty for no reason."Shut your stinky ass mouth! Go and find it!"She heard a loud voice followed by bottle smashing."Yes boss!" Some men chorused and threw the door wide open.His piercing gaze met with hers before the door closed on it's own. Soon after, it opened again and he was the one this time.Michelle bit her lower lips seductively, seeing the fine man in front of her. His curly hair that covered half of his face. He looked like a Mafia but, he was just a playboy. His eyes, his body... Everything about him pleased her. She just hope he wasn't like Trevor."You must be Rose" he said, with his deep masculine voice. She nodded, wearing a cute smile."Yes, I am""Come with me" he said and walked to another suite. It was decorated with red light and flowers. The soft jazz that was in the room made everything calm."I know I called you on a short notice but, I need your help" he said."With what?" She asked...Few minutes later, they prepared for what they were supposed to do. He sat down and she sat very close to him."She'll be here any minute" he said."Yes, I'm ready" she said."Ah! I forgot!" He slipped his hand into his pocket and handed her a ring.Michelle gasped. She almost choked."Is...is this a real diamond ring?" She asked."Are you going to wear it or not?" He asked. She took it and slipped it through her finger."Boss, she's here" one of his men announced. He nodded. They both pretend to be laughing as another lady entered the suite. She dressed quite decent. She was from a good family."Ah, I didn't notice you Daniella, forgive me" he said. Daniella glared at Michelle who sipped from her wine."So, it's true? You really are engaged to someone else" she said."Who is she baby?" Michelle asked."Ah, she's the person I told you about. The one my father wanted me to marry. I told her about you, but, she didn't believe"Michelle laughed and gave Daniella a pitiful look."I'm already engaged to him and very soon, I'll be the daughter in law of his family" she said.Frederick placed his hand over his shoulder. She almost reacted but, she remembered what was at stake."If you really are dating, prove it" she said."The ring? Do you want more proof?" Michelle asked and Daniella nodded her head."I'll call off this engagement once I see you two kiss" she said.Frederick and Michelle turned their head and exchanged glances with each other. She remembered what he said while he was explaining things to her."If this works out perfectly, I'll give you five million" he said. She really could do a lot of things with that money. She swallowed hard and bit her lower lips."We don't need to show you that. Just call off the engagement and...""Baby, it's just a kiss. Let's show her" Michelle said, touching his chin. He was staring right into her eyes. He was secretly giving her signals not to do it but... She moved her face closer to him and kissed him.Daniella groaned in frustration. She slammed her hand on the table and left. Immediately she left, she pulled back from his lips and sighed."It's done" she said. She faced him and saw the look on his face."Hey, it's over" she said. He snapped back to reality and sprung up immediately."How dare you kiss me? Do you have a death wish?!" He yelled, grabbing her shoulder. She shrieked in pain."I thought I was helping!""Well, you weren't. Because, this wasn't how I wanted everything to go" he said."I'm sorry. I...""Just go""What about..." She wanted to ask about the money."Go!" He yelled. She screamed and ran out...Few hours later, she got off the bus and walked home. She was pondering on what happened earlier. She thought about what she did wrong, but she didn't get it.But, she remembered when Trevor kissed her. The same way she felt bad, that must be the same way Frederick felt bad.She heaved a breath of relief when she got home. As she was about to enter inside, her phone chimed.She saw the money. Five million. She gasped and covered her mouth, dancing on the empty street. She thought about what she could do with this money. Just as Francis said, find a bigger house...The next morning, it was Saturday. Before everyone woke up, Michelle had gone out to buy a car. Just one that she could use to transport her kids to school. Chloe and Kelly entered the car and sniffed the new scent."How much did you make last night?" Francis whispered."You don't need to know. I'm doing everything to help this family already. That's enough" she said.He nodded on agreement. He knew she was still angry about how he cheated on her, but he wanted to know. He wanted a share out of the money.."Are we moving out? What about school?" Chloe asked her mother."You'll still be attending your old school. You're on scholarship, remember?" She asked them and they both nodded..The whole Saturday, they packed up and on Sunday, they moved to the new house. It already has nice furnitures and everything in the huge kitchen."Kelly! It's two separate beds. Come have a look!" Chloe ran upstairs. Michelle smiled, seeing them loving the house already.Francis blocked her when she was on her way to pick some stuff outside."How much did you rent this house?" He asked."Rent? I bought it. Nice, huh?" She asked. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back."I know you can't trust me again, after that day""What day?" She asked.He scratched his head, he didn't want to say a word."You should still share everything with me. I'm your husband" he said. Michelle scoffed. She wasn't married to him yet. She doesn't have to remind herself."I will but not now. Let's move things in" she said. He scoffed and helped her move things in...It was towards evening, they already settled in and clean their new house. Michelle made dinner for everyone and they ate."Aren't you going to the restaurant?""I'm going to quit. I'm going to spend more time with my kids, hmm?" She said. Kelly blushed with her mouth filled up.Francis saw the happiness on their faces, especially Michelle but he didn't like it. The fact that he doesn't know anything about it. How much she got last night? Who she went out with?She just woke up the next morning with a surprise. A new car and a new house.Francis dropped his fork angrily and left the dinning table.Michelle faced the kids."Once you're done eating, put the plates in the dishwasher""Yes mom!" They chorused.She went after Francis...Rose was cleaning the restaurant for the day. It was Saturday, they close quite early. She heard the doorbell rang. She immediately turned her neck and saw it was Trevor. She couldn't talk. She just stuttered."H..h.hello. hi, I mean...hey sir""Where is Rose?" He asked. Rose already knew he was talking about Michelle."She didn't come today. She might want to quit" she said."She moved out of her house. She's not answering my call. Can you hand this to her once you see her?" He asked, giving her a pen. Rose took it and nodded."Sure, I will""Thanks" he replied and walked away. She smirked, staring at the pen."How can she give her a pen? Is she really a joke?" She asked herself. The door bell rang again . She turned and saw another new face. It was super familiar especially with his hairstyle and personality. He looked around, with his men behind him.She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to remember him.A loud gasp escaped from her lips."Frederick Lloyd!" She called out his name and fell unconscious.Slowly, Rose opened her eyes. She groaned softly as she touched her head. She was having a slight headache. She tried to remember how she fainted till she heard someone clearing his throat behind. She turned and saw Frederick. Immediately, she shook in fear and fell on the floor. Her lips shivering in fear. "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you" he said. "How do I know?" She asked, seeing the men with guns. "I'm looking for Rose. Do you know where I can find her?" He asked. Rose furrowed her eyebrows. She remembered Trevor coming to look for Michelle, now... Frederick. "She's not coming today. She quit her job" she said. "Of course, she'll quit after that receiving that money" he mumbled under his breath. Rose didn't hear what he said. "Do you have anything for her?""I'll find her. I'll come back tomorrow. It's Monday, right?" He asked. Rose nodded her head. Frederick sprung up from the chair and touched her hair. "Good girl" he said and left with his men right behind him. She heav
The cool tension in the restaurant caused some other customers to walk out. They were scared, thinking something was going to happen, especially with the men that stood with guns. Frederick sat with Michelle alone. Rose was taken to another seat. "I heard you move out and quit from your job. Your friend also quit because of you, Michelle" he said. Michelle rolled her eyes. He already knew her real name. "I also heard you looked for me. Why, if I may ask" She replied. He scoffed. "Of course, I did. You have to pay me back for what you did that night" he said, drawing his face closer to her. Michelle moved back, leaning her back on the chair. "What did I do that night?" She asked. "I may be known as a national playboy but, I have my rules when it comes to ladies. I had my first sex at fifteen but, I've never kissed anyone till that night. I reserved it for my future bride" he said. Michelle shot her mouth wide open. She hurriedly grabbed her glass of water and sipped from it. "W
Michelle drove back home after dropping the kids off at school. Just as she was about to unlock the door, she saw that it was opened. She even noticed another car packed outside the house. Hurriedly, she rushed inside and saw Francis sitting on the dinning table. He was eating some cereal. A deep frown appeared on Michelle's face. "What the heck happened to your phone? Do you know how worried I was?" She asked. He raised his head and smiled at her. "You didn't have to. I'm sure you can do well without me" he replied. She scoffed and moved closer to him. "What if I decide to log out of the app? What if I decide to go back to the old times?""You can't do that. The kids love the new way now, I'm sure you can't break their heart by doing that shitty thing" He shot her a hard glare. All she wanted to know was where he went throughout yesterday. She was worried that even the kids asked of him. She had to lie to them. But, she was sure that he was cheating on him. "Enjoy your food, F
Rose tried to calm Michelle. She didn't want her to regret what she's saying. Even if Francis hurt her and she wants to throw him out of her life, she should consider the kids. She just watched as Michelle kept sobbing softly, tears running down her face. She explained what Francis did to her at the club. Rose was annoyed but, she can't let that annoyance result to bad judgement. "You two aren't married yet. Don't let what he did hurt you. Just be strong so you can take care of the kids" she said. Michelle smirked."I can't believe I'm taking advice from you"Rose laughed and Michelle joined. "My life has been fucked up ever since I entered that dating app. I should leave""You met good people from there... At least""Frederick is not a good person. I think he's trying to find me. I can't let him win" "I hope you take care of Kelly and Chloe. That's my concern" Rose said. Michelle smiled and hugged her tight. "You're like my sister now""Of course, I am" Rose said. They both la
In a fancy five star restaurant, the whole building has been rented by Mr Will. They sat with Ginny, waiting for the groom and his family. She was unsettled as her feet kept on tapping the floor. She was even sweating when it was so cold. "Ginny, don't be nervous" her mother said to her. "I'm not nervous mom. Can I go to the bathroom?" She asked. "Sure" she replied. "No! You can't go now. They are here already" her father jumped in just when she was about to leave. They all sprung up to welcome them. They walked in together. Mr Will doesn't know which family they're from. All he wanted was a family ranking from the first to tenth. The atmosphere changed immediately they stepped in. They looked so wealthy, that the aura was oozing out of them. "Apologies for being late" the man said in a cool soothing voice. "There was a lot of traffic" his wife added. Mrs Will fell in love with her posture. "It's fine. We just got here, please, have your seat" she said. The man behind them h
Michelle took the kids to school the next day. She pulled over in front of the school and some parents started staring at her. They started gossiping and laughing. "Hey, go to class now. See you two later" she said to them. They nodded and left. Just while she was about to enter the car again, she saw a picture outside the notice board. She rushed to it and saw how she stood in their midst, looking like a cleaner. It was the picture of the parents and teachers gathering. She started breathing hard, trying to control her anger. She tightened her fist angrily. "Mrs Michelle, you look so hot in that photo" one of them said and walked away. The others laughed. She frowned and left. She would have destroyed the picture but it would ruin her reputation. She entered into the car and drove off. She went back home and tried to calm herself but, she heard some clattering noise in the kitchen. She thought it was a thief because the door was locked. Slowly, she reached for the flower vase th
Michelle dropped the kids off at school on Wednesday. The compound was quiet. The security walked towards her."There's no school activities today""Why? Shouldn't I have know this?" She asked, angrily. "Apologies ma'am" he said. The kids got into the car and she drove them back home. Rose was waiting for her at home. They entered the house together and she discovered that Francis already left the house again. "You didn't go to work today?" Michelle asked Rose, pouring a glass of juice for her. "Today is 3rd of August. It's the ceremony today, remember?" She asked. "Ah, I almost forgot" she smirked. "I came to spend time with Chloe and Kelly and you. We should go hang out today, what do you think?" Rose asked. Michelle smiled. "I have to meet someone. He's paying me for the service I did to him days ago. After that, I'm logging out of that app""Ouch" Rose said and touched her heart. Michelle laughed. "The girls are upstairs. You should go meet with them""Sure" Rose dropped t
Michelle's eyes wandered around the man on stage. He spoke elegantly and maturely. She couldn't believe she spent the last days with him. He just acted to be averagely rich, went to a middle class hotel instead of a rich one. She could understand why he met him for the second time at the CC mall because he owned it. The CC stands for Christopher Croydon. She smiled as he ended his speech. Everyone sprung up and clapped for him. There was no glimpse of joy on his father's face. Christopher must have taken over from him, just the same way he hardly show emotions. He bowed and alighted from the stage. He walked to the table. "Good job" his father said. "Thank you father" he replied. There must be something going on between these two, she swore she could feel it. "Sit down please" he held her hand, wanting to help her sit. But one of his father's wives reached for a napkin and ruined her dress with a glass of wine. No big deal about that. She saw the hatred in their eyes the moment s
