Theodore has his mind on the family meeting all through the day, and how he is going to face his sisters regarding the current relationship he has with them. These thoughts made him not concentrate on work today, all he did was sit behind and watch the clock tick. Fortunately for him, He fell asleep as he watched the clock.4:18 pmTheo woke up and the first thing his eyes came in contact with was the clock. He stared at it for a while then remembered where he was supposed to be so he quickly dived out of his bed into the bathroom. He didn't bother making dinner knowing fully well that Alice was having dinner at Valentino's place today. Once he was done taking a bath, he put on one of his suits which Alice had gotten for him on his promotion day, he looked himself up in the mirror and took a deep breath before walking out of his room, and out of the house to where his car was parked. Theo's mom and sisters don't know how much of success he has achieved ever since they had cut tiles w
What was that for?"Alice looked furious at Valentino though she wasn't sure if she was but she knew she needed to be."I can't even explain myself" Valentino looked for the right words on how to explain what just happened out there but he just couldn't fix it."Let's just forget this, okay?" He ran out of the room and back to the hall to get himself in any way a bit distracted from the kiss.Alice was speechless, she didn't know how to react to this" How in the world could someone be so rude to the magnitude that he claims hegemony over his own mistake?" She honestly didn't have a retort to that so she left the room with the query unanswered Hopefully someday those answers will come rushing over to her. She went back to the hall as well only to find her supposed mother-in-law looking for her."Alice, where have you been? I have searched the entire place for you. I hope all is well. Or don't you like your party?."Mrs. Annabelle was ready to do everything just for Alice to be happy. So s
"What? Jamal?" Why… Why would he do such a thing to me? no, maybe someone is just trying to frame him about this whole situation" I need to go show this to Mom and Dad." Valentino went out to find his parents and there they were seated in the lobby, with my Dad's arm crossed over to his wife's body in a comfortable way."Mom.''They turned over to find Valentino standing like a raucous animal with tears in his eyes. Mrs. Annabelle rushed over to him and dragged him to a seat. "Baby, stop crying, the police are doing everything in their power to make sure that they found Elizabeth and they will trust me. We just have to stay strong and I promise that Elizabeth will be fine and things will get better, OK?" She was already crying even more than Valentino, Mr. Daniel noticed that everything his wife had said only made Valentino cry more than comfort him."Son.? What is the problem? Did you receive any news and call from anybody or even a text message."Mr. Daniel had spouted to be able to
On her way back home, Brenda walked blindly on the road and was quite too sad to notice the girl standing right in front of her. She walked pass her like a ghost without having a glance at her.Mich starred at the young girl almost her age as she walked pass her like a lost puppy. She got a bit concerned with the fact that she looked pale and saddened, immediately a thought of stopping her slipped her mind but on second thoughts she got a hold of herself once at the remindal of who she was.Mich will be turning 18 by the end of the following month, she's an Omega who's parents are both dead and has no one that cares about her. She has been alone since the past three years when her mom was wiped to death. Ever since then, she always hides herself in the bush or in a closet or a basement just to avoid being bullied by the other park members of her age.Brenda got home dasvastated, she didn't let words slip from her to anyone about her whereabouts. She slowly got up to her room and slamm
Waking up to the brightness of the sun, shielding its way into the comfort of the room, lighting up the space, made the sleeping beauty realize that it was morning.Tullah yawned her way out of bed, she was already used to going to school late so she didn't bother checking the time instead she walked in lazily into the bathroom, washed herself up, and got dressed for school.Aside from the fact that Tullah's Mom, Mrs. Naomi is a vicious woman, she never fails to make breakfast and dinner for the family. That should be more reasons why Mr. Richard has refused to divorce her yet.Tullah made her way down the stairs and to the dining only to find her Mom setting the table as usual."Good morning" Tullah greeted her without taking a glance at her Mom and also wasn't expecting a return to her greeting which she never got like always. She sat on the table and waited for her breakfast to be served while she scanned the whole room in search of her father, only to find him sitting at his favor
Hey," Valentino said, then turned back into his office and Alice followed suit. They walked into the room, Alice sat on his office couch and scanned the room around with her eyes cause the first time she was there, she didn't get the opportunity to look around the room."Nice office yeah," Alice said While still looking around the office. Something cut her attention so she stood and went over to where the thing was, just as she was about to lay a hand on it, Valentino held her hand with immediate effect. She looked surprised that Valentino wouldn't allow her to touch the molded customized cup."Don't touch anything in my office. Let's go" He blurted and went on his way out of the office with the wish that she would leave his office"I guess it was a bad idea to let her in in the first place, "He thought to himself as he left. Alice had no other option than to heed his words.Alice came downstairs only to meet a dozen maids, lined up and all bowing to her in greeting. She has experience
The shocking expression is something Rita has never experienced before when it comes to Jamie. Jamie had walked right into her room neglecting Rita. She was done with being treated like a housemaid, a servant, and a punching bag to Rita whenever she got angry. Most times someone does not need to act so dumbly to get what she wants and right now Jamie was done being dumb."Jamie you brat" Rita hurriedly followed her into her room with Mr. George tailing behind her. She banged into Jamie as she was about to remove her dress. At first, she hesitated but the anger in her was so much that she couldn't hold herself."How dare you? Why were you at the event?" Rita asked with her hands folded."Was I not supposed to be there?" Jamie was acting so clueless."Didn't you get the signal that I didn't want your presence there?" Rita was getting more furious at Jamie's reaction."Oh that, so you mean when you locked me up in the basement, you expected me to take that as a signal from Heaven that so
Valentino was a bit stunned by the attitude Alice displayed towards him. He felt so annoyed that Alice did something that no one has ever done in his entire world of luxury. Like who the hell does she think she is to end his call while he was still talking, "Is Alice trying to get herself to my blacklist.? No, I don't think so 'cause she doesn't know the outcomes of her actions right.?" Valentino kept on being mythical about how he was going to deal with Alice if she ever gets on his nerves again.******Alice was soundly asleep, little snores were had from her, suddenly a knock came on Alice's bedroom wicket which made her roll all over her bed but still didn't wake up so there came another knock this time around, it came with a voice calling out unto Alice" Alice, wake up" she heard banging on her head."Alice.? Can I come in.?"Theo spoke out again to Alice who was already half awake."Yeah, come in."Theo barely heard the response he got but he knew he was welcome to enter Alice's r
Valantino didn't really know what to say to his parents with the impression they are exhibiting but Alice knowing her job and what she is been paid for actually chiped in as soon as he needed her help."I was really the one that argued him not to disclose me yet cause it took me time to accept the fact that I was dating someone as influenced and sweet like him, Am so sorry Ma."Alice said looking at valantino with so much passion written all over her face. Valantino's mom raise an eyebrow at Alice and paused while staring at her.Alice didn't really realize why she was getting those hurtful stares "Did I say something.?" Alice thought to herself then turned to fully face Mrs frost, not until she traced back to the moment when she first entered the place, Mrs frost specifically asked Alice to address her as Annabelle not Ma or Mrs frost."Am so sorry Annabelle, I guess it skipped my mind once again"She grilled at Mrs frost and continued."Mrs Annabelle I didn't know you guys were this g
Mike sat on the edge of the old worn-out couch, he fingers furiously twinning together. He glanced at Velerio, who stood by the window, looking out into the bright morning sunset. The office had this unsettling air as the tension grew the more.Mike and Velerio have been friends for over the years now, navigating the ups and downs of life with the kind of easy that only a deep understanding could bring most especially when it comes to Velerio, the Ahpla and his problems.There was a tension simmering beneath the surface, which both of them had acknowledged."Valerio, you know we need to talk about this" Mike finally said as he raised his head up to face his Ahpla with his gray eyes clouded with frustration.Valerio signed knowing exactly what he meant. "Mike I don't think there is anything to talk about" He turned away from the window and walked over to his desk where he stood right beside the table with his glare fixed on Mike.Mike took a deep breath struggling to keep his voice cal
"What in the world has gone wrong this time around?"Alice was already well dressed so she freaked out to Valentino's house. On getting there she went into the room like she owned the place, the house was dead silent, and Alice needed to move into the living room to know what was going on. "Hey babe" Alice went over to where Valentino sat and side-hugged him as she sat alongside "What's going on, why is nobody talking? And babe why are you suddenly back from the hospital?" Alice looked over to her contracted mother-in-law."Mom?""Alice, I think you should come upstairs with me so we can talk"Valentino dragged Alice out of the living room. Alice's eyes were all over just until her eyes settled on a lady seated right beside Valentino's dad with a huge smile on her face. Alice stared at her more before she was finally on the stairs, out of the room and the lady also had a firm watch at Alice as well."Drop the act, what's going on?"Alice questioned right before they had entered Valentino
The ride to the field where the jet was awaiting their arrival was peaceful, aside from the part where Valentino wouldn't take his eyes off Alice. Alice felt a hell hole burn on her skin, she knew it was Valentino, but she didn't understand Valentino's reactions and his wants. This minute he kissed her without permission out of self will and the next minute he was at the edge, pissed and ready to devour her. Alice was no longer feeling comfortable so she had to adjust on her seat and yet he still had his eyes on her.The car pulled up at the side of the jet, and everyone hurriedly came out of the car and ran into the jet, Valentino was the first to enter followed by Alice. He held out a hand for Alice to grab on it while climbing up the jet but instead, Alice went ahead to hold the sides of the jet entrance door and climbed in, rolling her eyes on Valentino while he stared at her as she walked right to a seat.*******Valentino's POV.This was hard, seeing how she looked at me with so
Alice no longer knew what to think right now, it never crossed her mind that they could be setting up a marriage for her which was never going to happen with or without her consult. She didn't want to bring her mom back into the picture but since she was the one who had asked her to be here for this dinner date that meant she had lots and lots of explanations to make. Alice took up her phone and dialed her mom's number not even trying to consider her position right now."What are you doing?" Theo stared at Alice for a long while just to understand what was going on in her head but it all was to no avail. He didn't know what to think anymore as Alice was busy dialing someone's number."My mom, I need to get these things straight" Alice replied and waited for Jamie to pick up the call. Theo sat still together with Alice waiting for Jamie to pick. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea to give her a call now and right here in the hotel but since Alice was already set on doing so and he wo
Everyone stood amazed at the display, the servants had their jaws drop. Jamie had refused Xavier's orders which felt like a death sentence to most of the servants.Jamie was surprised and utterly speechless at how Xavier must have gained the guts to drag her back like she was one of his possessions that he could drag around the way he wanted, she was shocked at first but after they had exchanged a long-term stare, Jamie became certain that Xavier now fears nothing just like his Mom. She tried dragging her hand away from Xavier's grip but he seemed to have held on to it so right that her efforts felt effortless."Xavier, what's your problem with me?" Jamie turned to face him fully and with a low tone, she asked. Xavier laughed a bit before responding to the question."Do you think I have a problem with you? Is that what you think? Oh then you must be so dumb and sick in the head" Rita busted out into laughter, she laughed while Xavier joined her."Son, I told you right? She's as sick a
"What was the next-door lady saying to you?"Theo side hugged Alice as a welcome pet. He did hear some voices out in the passage of their apartment; he just didn't feel the need to go out, knowing fully well that among those voices one was Alice's, so he didn't bother."That was not our neighbor Theo, it was Emiliana" It was more like talking about her or calling Emiliana's name made Alice feel so tired."What does she want?" Theo got a little pissed"I don't know, am not sure of what she wants but she did mention how she was here to lend me some advice""Which was?""You know, she came blabbing on how I should leave Valentino alone and that I will get screwed out sooner than later"Alice rolled her eyes at her explanation."I can't even remember how you got yourself into this sh**ty contract but trust me I don't think the pay is worth the trouble, I mean how did Emiliana get to know where you stay?""Maybe some investigators did give her my address or she must have run a background che
Theodore am home" Alice screamed as she unlocked the door to her apartment.After the air had been cleared with Valentino feeling free from the tension between him & Alice. Alice also had made herself clear, she came down to the living room and met Dominic going through some paperwork."Hey babe" Alice greeted. Dominic raised his head to see Alice emerging towards him, he suspended the papers he was with and tossed them to a side."How are you feeling?" Dominic asked, having noticed that she was coming out from Valentino's office which means that they must have resolved the issues between them."Yes, I'm fine, can I get a ride home please?" Alice looked exhausted and Dominic saw that too, so he didn't wait for her to ask again. He was already on his feet, calling on some servants to take Alice's box to his car while he went and got his car key."Let's go, babe" Dominic headed his way out of the house while Alice followed behind." When next are you coming over to the house?"Dominic fig
Alice ended the call once he was done with her mom she"What was she talking about? Who are you going on a dinner date with?" Theo asked as he realized that Alice was no longer on phone with her mom. He didn't understand what was going on, so he had to wait for Alice to be through with the call."Some random guy that I don't know anything about and she won't give me details on him not untill am done with the date" Alice reply still in her state of confusion."And when is the date? How are you even supposed to go meet someone with having a picture of them or stuff?" Theo was starting to get irritated by this set of arrangements. At some point, he didn't want to think of Jamie as a thoughtless person considering where she was. Anyone that didn't know better will equrraly think that Jamie wasn't trustworthy.Alice sat still thinking of what to do, she has two options right now which were either she goes for the dinner date or stay put and wait for whatever that was going to happen which
