"Good evening, sorry I'm late. I was busy" Michelle said, entering Trevor's car.
"It's fine. Let's get you all set up. My parents must be getting everything ready" he replied, smiling."Hmm" was her only response. His assistant started the car and they drove off.They went to the mall again. This time, he entered to pick a dress for her."My parents love red. I also love red" he said."Okay" she replied. She started looking for a red dress."You know, the dress you wore the other day looked great on you " he said.Michelle didn't say a word. She was still thinking about Francis and how he betrayed her."Hey, Rose!" He snapped at her. She shrieked."I'm sorry. I'm not feeling too well" she said, throwing her hair to the back."Do you want me to cancel the dinner?" He asked."No, it's fine. I'll wear this" she picked any dress and walked away. Few minutes later, she was ready. She wore a natural make up. Her shoe and bag was silver. She was looking hot and decent."You look beautiful" he said."Thanks, shall we?" She said and hurriedly entered the car.They drove to the Stonefield mansion. She was shocked to see herself there. She was never expecting to come here on any occasion."Remember, be natural. Just flow with what I said" he said. Michelle nodded her head.He smiled and placed his hand on her laps. Michelle moved away from him, feeling uncomfortable with the way he touched her."Let's go" she said. The butler helped Michelle out of the car."It's nice to see you ma'am" he said. The maids around the house watched from different corners. They haven't seen Trevor with a lady before."Thank you" Michelle said to the man."Please, come in" Trevor said.They walked in. The house was already decorated. Michelle was surprised that they did this for her."Oh, my future daughter in law is here!" Mrs Stonefield said and ran to hug her."She's blessed with so much beauty" Mr Stonefield added."Thank you so much" she blushed."Mom, dad, Rose is hungry. Let's eat now" Trevor said."Ah, come this way" she said, walking with Michelle.They sat down and ate. Michelle didn't like the way they were all looking at her. They even call her daughter in law."So, tell me. What do you do? Don't be shy, tell me""I don't have much doing, I work in a restaurant" she said."I guess Trevor ate in the restaurant and fell in love with you" Mrs Stonefield asked and they all laughed."Just like in the movies" her husband added."I don't care if you're poor or rich, if my son love you, we all love you" she said.Michelle turned to stare at Trevor. She wasn't taking this. They were considering her as their daughter in law."Rose seems full already. I'll take her around the house mom. Excuse us" he said."I'll be back" she added."Of course, take your time son"They both chuckled as Michelle and Trevor left the table. They walked around the house, in silence.She didn't know what to say to him.They got to the living room on the third floor. It was close to the balcony. They sat down and stared at the sky."I've spent four hours already" she said."You wish to leave already?" He asked."I'll just stay an hour more, then I'll leave. You should really tell your parent about us""What about us?" He asked."You know.... This thing between you and I isn't real...." She tried to explain. He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to himself, kissing her hard. He locked lips with her, making sure the kids was deep.It happened unexpectedly, leaving Michelle shocked. She immediately pushed him and slapped him. Her heart pounding hard."Rose, I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I can explain""What's with men and explaining? Don't fucking come close to me. You kissed me, this contract is officially over" she said and turned to leave. He ran after her. She rushed down the stairs, not listening to him."Rose, come on. Hear me out" he said. She didn't stop. She head to the dinning table and grabbed her purse."Oh my dear, you're back. Let's talk about my son and....""Not now Mrs Stonefield. I can't be with your son. I'm sorry" she said and left with her purse."What? Rose. Trevor, go after her" Mrs Stonefield said. She grabbed her chest and sat down. Her husband helped her.Michelle got to the compound, she didn't know if she should enter the car or find her way home.Trevor grabbed her hand from behind and pulled her."I'm sorry. Please, stay. I thought we could be something, that's why I kissed you. I wanted to propose to you" he said. She scoffed and rubbed the entrance of her nose."Propose? Do you even know anything about me? Do you know my real name? You wish to marry me. I'm sorry Trevor, I can't get married to you" she said.Trevor watched as she entered the car. He signalled his assistant to take her home. He bowed and drove her off. He sighed deeply. As the car drove off, his parents rushed out."Rose? Why did she leave?""I don't know mom, it's fine""I want rose back. She's beautiful and nice""Take her inside dad.." Trevor said and walked away...Few hours later, they got home. Trevor's assistant sent her money for the day."Thank you" she said and was about to go down when he stopped her."My boss really love you ma'am. Whatever happened between you two, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding" he said."I'm sorry. The contract has been cancelled the moment your boss kissed me. I'm sure you know that all of this is fake. Take care of Trevor. It's nice knowing him" she said and alight from the car. He drove off and she entered the house...Francis was waiting for her since. The kids were already asleep. He stood up immediately she walked in."Hey" he said."Hi" was her response."It's almost midnight" he said. She didn't even notice. She sighed and sat down on the chair."How was today?" He asked."I know you want to ask about the money. I'm not giving it to you. I need to buy new stuff for the kids and repair the house"Francis nodded his head. He was indeed after the money but, because of what he did today, he can't talk back at her. He just changed his expression."I'm not after the money, I'm concerned about you" he lied. She smirked."The contract between Trevor and I is broken. He kissed me, and according to the code of conduct. Touching is not allowed unless the two parties agree""You can't break the contract. Where would you get more money? How do we survive?""We go back to how things were!" She said and sprung up. He watched her leave.He angrily kicked the chair and frowned."That bitch..." He murmured...The next morning, Michelle took the kids to school. She watched as the other kids teased them after what happened today.She watched them alight from their cars."Mummy, everyone is laughing at us" she said.She squatted to their level and touched their hair."What did mummy always tell you?" She asked."Be strong and don't let anyone step on you" they chorused."If anyone tries to step on you?" She asked."Punch them right on their face" Chloe said."What if the teacher punish us for punching them?" Kelly asked."I'll be right there and I'll fight for you. Come on, go in there" she said. They ran into the school. Michelle stood up and went to the restaurant.She entered and saw Rose who was worried about her. She left without saying a lot yesterday and didn't come back."Hey""Hey, I'm sorry for just leaving yesterday. Some crazy shit happened and...""I covered for you yesterday and kept your salary""Thank you Rose. I'm really sorry""It's fine. Just tell me why you left. You have kids? What the fuck?""I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It's a long story I never told anyone" she said.Rose looked round. She went to the door and changed the sign from 'OPEN' to 'CLOSE'"There's no customer yet. Tell me. Every Fucking Thing" she said.She sighed...Meanwhile, at school. The pupils sat down, waiting for their teacher.The students started talking about how their class was so neat. Kelly and Chloe kept their cool, they knew where the students were heading."Of course, it's neat because Kelly and Chloe's mother cleaned it up. My mom said she's good at cleaning, because it's her job, right Chloe?"The students started laughing.Chloe folded her hands. She wanted to hit the boy but, Kelly stopped her sister."Don't touch them"The boy stood up, together with his other classmates. They walked to Chloe's seat."Is it true? Your mom is fourteen years old?"They all laughed again."Don't say anything about my mom!" Chloe said."Or what?" The boy pushed her.She almost fell. Kelly caught her sister. She stepped forward and punched the boy right in the face. The whole students gasped and the class fell silent. The boy fell and his nose started bleeding."Kelly has hurt Matt!" Someone yelled. The whole class started panicking till the teacher rushed in.She gasped."What happened?""Kelly hit him" a student reported.The teacher grabbed Kelly by her collar."Come with me, your rat!" She growled...Michelle was done telling everything to Rose. Rose couldn't believe that the daughter of the fourth richest man in the country was working right in this restaurant.She was just speechless."You really have to keep everything a secret. Don't tell anyone!""I'm going to keep it a secret. You don't have to worry too much""I'm not worried. I just don't want any of my family to find me" she said."They won't find you. You're safe here!" Rose said, smiling at Michelle.The door immediately threw wide open as someone walked in."Michelle?"She called her name.They both turned their head and gazed at the person at the door."Ginny?" Michelle called out."Uh uh..." Rose uttered.Rose sprung up from the chair, scratching her head. She went closer to Michelle. "Ginny? Like, your sister?" She asked. "Yes, she's the one" Michelle replied. Ginny ran to her sister and wrapped her hands around her. Michelle swiftly broke the hug. "Hey, you can't be here. You shouldn't even be seen with me" she said. "I missed you Michelle. I don't care what mom and dad say, I missed you" Michelle's lips curved into a smile. "I missed you too but..." She tried to speak again but her phone rang. She saw it was from the school. "Oh no" she muttered before answering the call. "You must be Chloe's mother. Report to the school immediately" the person said and disconnected the call. "What happened?" Rose asked her. She saw the look on her face and it wasn't good. "I think something happened at school. I need to go" she said and was about leaving. Ginny followed her behind. "I'm coming with you" she said. "You can't follow me. Go home please""Fine, let me just drop you off an
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
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
