CRASH!!!!
“No!” a young girl gasped in horror as she looked at the broken glass all over the floor.Another girl walked into the room and her reaction was just like the first girl's.“I’m so sorry Kia,” The first woman apologized and tears started to drop from her face as she knew what she had done meant trouble.“It’s okay, Sammy,” Kia said. She quickly went to the kitchen and brought a broom and a dustpan and started sweeping up the shards of glass.“No it’s not okay, the old witch and asshole won’t take this lightly,” Sammy said. “You know what, let me take responsibility for what I have done.”“No, if you do that, they’ll double my punishment for sneaking you into the house and they’ll stop you from coming here,” Kiandra pointed out.“Oh yeah that’s true,” Sammy said as she helped Kia with the remaining shards of glass. “I can’t wait for you to finally turn eighteen in two days so you can finally leave them, Dad says you can live with us.”They finished sweeping the glass and went to dispose of it in a place where Kia’s parents wouldn’t find it.“I don’t know Sammy, she is still my parent,” Kia said. Even though she wasn't the best when it came to her parental responsibility, she was still her parent and she was skeptical about leaving her.“Yeah, but parents are supposed to be loving and not an asshole like the one you have, no offense,” Sammy said.“Kiandra, where the hell are you?!” A voice yelled from outside the house before Kiandra could respond to Sammy.The two girls froze in horror when they heard the voice. “Kiandra, don’t make me come in there!” the voice yelled again, snapping them out of their frozen state.“Sammy, you have to leave now,” Kiandra said as she pushed her friend towards the back door. “No matter what you do, don’t get caught or else I’ll kill you myself,” she threatened, before turning back.Kiandra took a deep breath to gather her composure before she turned and headed out to meet her mother.“Mom, let me help you with that,” she said as she collected the grocery bag from her.She saw something flash from the corner of her eyes and the next thing she felt was a painful sting on the left side of her cheeks. “You cursed child, what the hell took you so long?!” her mother yelled.A man walked up to the mother and put his hands around her shoulder to get her to calm down. “Relax May, you shouldn’t touch filth with your hands,” he said.“Stephan, even filth has more worth than this useless child!” May exclaimed as she stared at Kiandra in contempt. Tears started to drop from Kiandra’s eyes and she looked at the ground to hide them.“Come, honey, let’s go inside!” Stephan said and he led May into the house.Kiandra stood rooted in her point as she cried. She had been going through this from the time she could remember and she was supposed to have gotten used to it but she still wasn’t.Every time her mom would treat her like this, it would always hurt her. It was like her entire existence was a burden to her mother.She wiped her tears and turned to go into the house before her mother would hit her again for wasting time. When she got into the house, she found her mother's boyfriend, Stephan, holding up a shard of glass.‘Shit!’ Kiandra cursed inwardly as she saw that it was from the antique that had broken. Her eyes met with Stephan, and the latter gave her a devilish smile.Kiandra recognized the smile, and chills crept up her spine. The asshole, as Sammy liked to call him, was worse than the devil in Kiandra’s eyes. He had been dating her mother for about six months and those six months had been hell for her.He would always look for ways to get her in trouble with her mom, and after he had done so, he would suggest ways to punish her just for the thrill of it.‘Please,’ she begged him with her eyes, but she knew that the chance of him not doing what he was planning on doing was very slim.“Honey, it seems the little filth has broken something very precious of yours,” Stephan said, showing May the piece of broken glass.May gasped upon seeing the broken glass and she immediately lunged at Kiandra. “You bastard, my grandmother gave that antique to me!” she said as she started hitting Kiandra.“I’m sorry Mom, it was an accident,” Kiandra apologized, but that didn’t do anything to stop her mother from hitting her.“Honey, that’s enough!” Stephan said after he was done enjoying the drama.“No, I'm going to kill the bastard today!” May yelled in anger.“It’s not yet time for that,” Stephan said. “Why not just lock her up for the meantime?” he suggested.“Drag her to the basement,” May ordered.“No please, Mom, not the basement,” Kiandra pleaded. She hated the place with a passion due to the fact that it was always dark, the place had insects living in it and at night, the sounds it always made terrified her.“Drag her Stephan!” May growled, and Stephan immediately grabbed hold of her hair and started dragging her to the basement. He was much stronger than her and so she couldn’t break free from his grip.“There you go!” he said as he pushed her into the basement and locked the door.“No, please!” Kiandra pleaded, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Something suddenly fell on her shoulders and when she touched it to feel what it was, she felt a wall gecko.“Ahh!” she yelled and pushed it off. “Open the door please,” she yelled and started banging on the door. She banged it till she had no strength left in her, but no one opened the door for her.Feeling tired, she collapsed on the ground and hugged her knees, trying to get herself to calm down. The creaking noises started and the sound of droplets of water dripping from the tap wherever that was also began.Her mind immediately began to think of the worst possible scenarios, and that only added to her fears.‘Nothing is going to happen to me,’ she muttered to herself. ‘It’s all just in your head,’ she said, but her words did little to stop the panic attack that was coming.Her breathing got heavier and heavier, and not long after, she fell unconscious.****“Ahhh!” a man groaned in pain as he slowly opened his eyes. He found himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling and so he jerked up from the bed.The last thing he remembered entering his car and suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his neck,‘What the hell?!’ he exclaimed when he saw that he was in a private aircraft. His eyes immediately turned cold as he figured out who was behind everything.‘I’m going to kill that bastard!’ he muttered to himself and got down from the bed.He walked into another compartment and saw the devil sitting on the chair working on his laptop. “You bastard!” he yelled in anger. The man looked up from his laptop and gave him a bored look.“How do you want me to kill you?” he asked the man as he folded the hands of his t-shirt.“Have a drink, it will help you to cool down,” the seated man urged the one standing. And as soon as he was done speaking, an air hostess walked into the compartment holding a bucket of ice that had a bottle of alcohol in it.“This is only going to postpone what I intend on doing to you,” the man said and he took his seat opposite the other man. He immediately poured a glass for himself and started drinking.“Don’t forget that if you harm me, you will be the only one to deal with your paranoid mother, Liam,” the other man retorted.“Well, I think I will rather put up with her than have to deal with you, Lucas,” Liam fired back. ‘I wonder why I‘m stuck with you all the time,’ he muttered under his breath.’Lucas heard it and rolled his eyes. “That’s because you’d be a lost cause without me,” he stated."You mean you'd be a lost cause without me," Liam corrected."No, I'm sure of what I said," Lucas retorted to which Liam rolled his eyes.Lucas and Liam were both from very prestigious families; the Valencia and the Volcano family respectively.And due to the fact that their fathers grew up together, the two were forced to grow up together as well.While Liam was outspoken and jovial, Lucas was the complete opposite as he always kept to himself and was very cold.People wondered how the two had managed so far as they were opposites but the truth was that they complimented each other."Where are we headed?" Liam asked, not bothering to respond to Lucas' words."To one of the family's hotels. My dad wants me to represent him at one of his meetings," Lucas answered.Liam sniffed and pretended to wipe his imaginary tears from his eyes."Wow, I'm so proud of you for finally acting mature and stepping into the family's business," he said and applauded Lucas.He suddenly stopped applauding, and his face contorted into a frown as soon as he realized something."Wait, so why are you taking me along?" He asked."So you can also suffer along with me," Lucas replied."You idiot, I already have my own meetings and schedule to suffer through. Why the hell are you dragging me into yours?!" Liam asked in anger."You could have just asked me," he added."I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't have hesitated to refuse to come along with me," Lucas said."Yeah, but still, I would have liked to be asked rather than being kidnapped," Liam sneered. "You wait till we get back home. I'm so suing your ass.""Aren't you the future COO? I'm going to be the future CEO, which means you're going to be stuck with me forever," Lucas grinned evilly."I have been stuck with you since we were both born and that was twenty-three years ago. I swear I'm going to kill you," Liam promised and Lucas shrugged casually."That's what you get for both our families knowing each other," Lucas stated.Lucas and Liam's father were both childhood friends who grew up together and went to the same high school as well as college together.They did everything together, including building their multi-billionaire empire.And so naturally, when they gave birth to their sons, they made sure the two boys were stuck together just like they were.Liam poured another glass for himself and gulped it down in one go.This made Lucas frown a bit."You're going to get drunk if you keep on drinking," he stated"Don't worry, I have a high alcohol tolerance," Liam said and he poured himself another glass."Besides, if you're going to force me to attend your stupid meeting, then I plan on getting drunk all through and getting laid," he added."Why does your word revolve around getting drunk and getting laid?" Lucas probed."Because, my dear brother, that right there is the beauty of life," Liam answered and raised his glass at Lucas.'Impossible," Lucas muttered under his breath. Liam heard what he said and laughed."Don't go around acting like you're so innocent. We both know you also get laid as I do," Liam fired at Lucas."Yeah, but I do not make it my life's priority like someone sitting right in front of me," Lucas quipped."Don't try to justify it!" Liam retorted. "Getting laid means getting laid.""Go to hell," Lucas cursed Liam and the latter laughed.The door to the compartment opened and the Co-pilot walked in. "Good evening sirs, we will be landing soon, so please fasten your seatbelt," he instructed them."Hmm," Lucas said and the co-pilot left."I hate you for this," Liam said as he fastened his seat belt."I know you've made it pretty clear for the last twenty-two years of our lives," Lucas retorted, and he also fastened his seatbelt.The plane landed not long after and the two men came out from the private jet.They wasted no time and got into the five cars waiting for them upon arrival. The cars then took them to the hotel.After collecting their exclusive keycards, they headed up to the private elevator, which would take them to the floor reserved only for the two men and their families."What time is the meeting tomorrow?" Liam asked on their way up to their floor."Four in the evening," Lucas answered, and the doors to the elevator opened."Wow, I would have thought that it was four in the morning," Liam quipped as he got out of the elevator."Why did I bring you along with me?" Lucas mused, immediately regretting his decision.This would have been his chance to get away from the overbearing man-child, and he threw it away."And I plan on making your stay with me miserable," Liam told Lucas before entering his room.Lucas also turned and entered his room. As soon as he was in it, he went into the bathroom to take a quick shower as he felt sticky.He came out moments later and after getting dressed, he collapsed on the bed. Tomorrow was going to be a very busy day and so he wanted to get a proper rest.****"Ahhh!" Samantha yelled in anger, and she threw her pillow away. She heard footsteps running up the stairs and a few moments later, the door to her room busted open and a man walked in."What's wrong, honey?" The man asked."It's Kia, Dad," Samantha answered. And as soon as her dad heard that the reason behind her anger had to do with her best friend, he frowned."What did that witch do to her this time?" He asked. His daughter and Kiandra had been friends since they were both kids and all he could say was that he felt sorry for the young girl.It was still puzzling to him as to how a mother could treat her own child so poorly and brutally.It even reached the point where his own daughter who had lost her mother when she was five thought that it was better not to have one after seeing Kiandra's own.He had tried so many times to get the girl away from the evil woman but each time, Kiandra would choose to go back as she didn't want to leave her mother.The day he got angry and wanted t
“What are you two whispering to yourselves,” Desmond asked suspiciously when he noticed that the voices had become low.“Nothing!” Samantha and Kiandra answered at the same time and this just made him more suspicious but luckily he didn’t push it.Samantha sighed and rolled her eyes. Having a dad who was in the military was a hassle at times and this time was one of those times as she knew that he would surely keep an eye on them.The rest of the ride was silent as the two girls didn’t want to risk Desmond hearing them. Immediately they arrived at their house, Kiandra was immediately ushered into the dining room. Samantha knew that Kiandra's mother would have starved her and so, she had asked her grandmother to prepare something for her. “Hello Nana,” Kiandra greeted the elderly woman as she took her seat. “Oh you poor child, look at your state,” Nana complained as she started dishing out Kiandra’s food. “I’m not going to allow you to return to that woman, not even if you cry and be
The time Kiandra had been hoping would never come finally came. It was nighttime and she and Samantha had snuck out of the latter’s house as they didn't want Nana to know that they were out of the house. She was now in line, waiting to get admitted into the club. Behind her were Samantha and Samantha’s boyfriend; a self-absorbed jerk which Kiandra was forced to tolerate as he was dating her best friend.“Yo, Kiandra, why are you so stiff? We are going to a club and not to a war,” Tate, Samantha’s boyfriend, jabbed at her. And it reminded Kiandra of why she hated him so much. The guy was one of the most popular guys in their high school and she was on the bottom of the popularity chain.No one would even know her if not that she was friends with Samantha, whom everyone knew. The jerk didn’t hesitate to always bully her whenever Samantha wasn’t around, just for the fun of it.“Stop it, Tate,” Samantha warned and Tate apologized.After what felt like years to Kiandra, she finally got i
****After Liam dragged him away, he headed straight to the private section where he saw Lola waiting for him while Liam went to have some fun with a brunette he noticed.Lola was the girl he dated in college and it wasn’t out of love but a necessity to keep his family from arranging a marriage to the girl of their choice. Being from an influential family, they would want him to marry a woman who was also from an influential family, so they could gain more power.Lola had no idea of this, as she thought the great Lucas Valencia actually had feelings for her. Everything was going smoothly until he found out that she was cheating on him.He, who had been looking for an excuse to call the whole sham off, immediately took advantage of the opportunity and broke up with Lola.He was the kind of person who didn’t look back once he was done with something and so; he didn’t bother to look back at Lola ever since, until tonight. The only reason he was here was because he was bored and he neede
****As soon as Kiandra managed to make it out of the hotel, she was faced with the reality that she didn’t have any money or phone as it was in a bag which she had left with Samantha.“Umm, excuse me, can I use your phone?” she asked a passerby. Thankfully, the person was nice enough to give Kiandra their phone.She and Samantha had mastered each other’s number in case of situations like this. She quickly dialed her best friend’s number, and the latter picked up on the second ring.“Hello Sammy, it’s me, Kia,” Kiandra informed her friend.“Kia!” Samantha exclaimed. “Where the hell have you been? I have been worried sick about you. I’m already headed to the police…”“Sammy, you can talk to me when you see me face to face. I’m at the hotel where the club is, please, come and pick me up,” Kiandra requested.“I’ll be there in twenty minutes,” Samantha said, and she hung up. “Thank you,” Kiandra said to the passerby and they left. She then made her way over to a bench, and she sat on it w
Samantha stood up immediately after she said this and she headed to the store to get a pregnancy test. She did so as fast as she could and she returned to Kiandra.“Here, I bought two, so we can be sure,” she said, handing over the packages to Kiandra. “Now go use it!” she urged her friend.Kiandra felt her heart pounding in her chest as she walked into the bathroom. She desperately prayed to be wrong about being pregnant.She couldn’t even take care of herself. How was she supposed to take care of a baby? There was no way she would be a good mother to the child. On getting to the toilet, she tore open the packet and followed the instructions written on it. Meanwhile,.Samantha anxiously waited for Kiandra to come out and tell her what was happening. The door opened after ten minutes, and Kiandra came out. Samantha quickly rushed to her. “Well, what did it say?” she asked.“That I’m pregnant,” Kiandra answered in a distant voice as she was still trying to come to terms with reality,
Samantha quickly rushed to Kiandra who had lost consciousness and she froze when she noticed blood coming from Kiandra’s legs. Samantha got out of her shock and she rushed to the phone to call an ambulance. After speaking with the officials, she rushed back to Kiandra. “Everything will be fine. The paramedics will be here soon. Just hold on,” she said, even though Kiandra couldn’t hear her…****“It’s been a week already, why haven’t you woken up?” Kiandra heard Samantha say to her. What was her friend rambling all about? She wondered as she opened her eyes.“Kiandra, oh my God, you’re finally awake,” she heard Samantha squeal. “Hold on, let me get the doctor,” she said and ran out of the room. There was silence after and Kiandra tried to sit up.The door opened once again and Kiandra heard footsteps approaching the bed where she was laying on. “Please don’t move,” she heard a doctor say and he started to check her vitals.“What happened?” she asked in a hoarse voice.“You were unco
“So, what do you want to do when we get home?” Kiandra engaged her daughter as she started to walk out of the airport.“Do you want to see our new house?” Kiandra continued to speak even though there was no response from Zendaya.“Taxi!” Kiandra flagged the car down.“Park,” she heard her daughter say after they entered the taxi. The voice was like a whisper, and it was as though she was compelled to speak.People who didn’t know Zendaya would think she was mute, but she wasn’t. She just only spoke whenever her mother was around, as she felt most comfortable with Kiandra.“You just got there. Don’t you want to rest?” Kiandra asked, and Zendaya shook her hand.“I want to go to the park,” she repeated. "Not now, honey, you'll go some other time," Kiandra told Zendaya before giving the driver instructions on where to take them.When they got to her apartment, Zendaya entered and immediately went to lie on the couch and she sighed loudly. Kiandra rolled her eyes as she could tell that
