Michelle barged into the room. Francis sprung up from the bed, hearing the door fling wide open.
He thought the country was under attack."Why did you...""What did you just put me into? Did you agree to this after reading the code of conduct?" She asked, interrupting him.Francis saw it was because of the app. He hissed and leaned back on the bed."It's not that difficult, you know? All they need to avoid is getting intimate with you. If they do, you report them and the contract is off" he said."But I have to go out with them till the contract is broken. Does that make sense?" She asked, in a teary voice."Michelle! Think for once! This is not about you. It's for the wellbeing of our kids. If you don't want to do it for me, do it for them. Do you want them to grow up in this shit hole of a house? Please, Michelle" he tried to brainwash her.Michelle couldn't help but agree to what he said. He had a point. She can't go back to her parents, this is the fastest way to make money. She even thought of the one she made yesterday.There's no way she could get that money if she work for ten years in all of her part time. She sighed deeply and lowered her head."Fine, I'll do it. But, it's for Chloe and Kelly" she said, raising the head.Francis took her hand."Thank you" he said."I need to go to the restaurant. I'll quit my other jobs, except this one""Sure, anything you want" he replied.She turned and left the house, heading to the restaurant..Even at the restaurant, she wasn't herself. She kept thinking about how she ended up like this. Sometimes, she wish to go to her parents and ask for forgiveness but, she can't abandon her girls. They were already part of her."Hey, are you thinking?" Her colleague asked her. She snapped back to reality."No, I'm not" she said and walked away. The lady stared at her, wearing a smile on her face..Trevor walked out of his shower, drying his hair with a towel. His assistant, Kevin was there."Any information about Rose?" He asked."Yes sir. She has four part time job. She walk dogs, clean at a small company, hand fliers and works in a restaurant" he said."I see. Four different jobs. She must need money urgently" Trevor said."She also lives with a young man, he has two kids. She must be the nanny" Kevin said."Nanny. That's five different jobs. I should see her again" he said, smiling."How?" Kevin asked.There was silence in the room till they heard a knock on the door.Trevor sat on the bed, hanging his towel on his shoulder. Kevin opened the door and saw the head maid."A man brought this" she said."Thank you" Kevin said and closed the door. He took it inside the room."What's that?" Trevor asked, wearing a questioning look.Kevin peeped inside and saw that it was Michelle's dress from yesterday."It's Rose's dress. I'll trash it" he said and turned to leave."No!" Trevor said. He stood up and took the bag."I'll take it to her" he said."Huh?" Kevin asked.He hasn't seen Trevor interested in any lady before. He knew this one was special."But...""There's no but. Hurry!""I'll get the car ready" he said.Trevor nodded. He took the towel off his shoulder and rushed into the closet to get ready.All his life in business school, he had no interest in girl till the day he opened the meet up app.The first person he saw, was Michelle. Immediately he set his eyes on the picture, he fell in love with her at that moment.He even said to himself."I'm going to make her mine".Few hours later, Michelle was done at the restaurant. She changed into her normal mufti as she collected her salary from the other employee."Thanks" she said, peeping inside the envelope."You know, you've been here for two months already Michelle" the lady said."Really? I wasn't keeping time" Michelle replied, with a dead voice."Let's celebrate. You and me. There's a new bar down the street. We could just...""Hey, I'm sorry. I'm not a bar person. Besides, I can't hang out with you. You're the oldest employee here and the second in charge. It's like I'm going out with my boss"The lady smirked and leaned back on the counter."You don't know my name, do you?" She asked. Michelle bit her lower lips."I have to go. I'm sorry" she said, wanting to leave. The lady grabbed her hand and pulled her back."I'm Rose, hmm? Don't worry, I won't intrude your private life" she said. Michelle chuckled nervously. She rubbed the entrance of her nose and was about to leave when she heard the doorbell rang."We're closed for the day!" Rose said."Ah, there you are. I came to see you Ro...""Hi Trevor!" Michelle swiftly interrupted him not to call that name.Rose.Rose shot her eyes wide open."Are you Trevor Stonefield?" She asked.Trevor smiled and took Michelle's hand."Bye" he waved at Rose and pulled Michelle out.They got into the car and drove off. Michelle had no idea why she entered his car. She just made it look like she was dating him for real."How do you know where I work?" She asked."I did a little background on you, if you don't mind" he replied."You're unbelievable. Stop the car!" Michelle said, wanting to leave."I just wanted to give you this and book you for another date" he said.Michelle shot her mouth wide open. She thought she won't see him again and here he is, sitting close to her. She wished to break the contract soon.He did a little digging on her. She was glad that he didn't find more information than that. Especially the fact that she's Will's daughter.She took the bag and the car stopped in front of her house. She wanted to alight but, Trevor grabbed her hand."Hands off!" She yelled, pushing him away."About the date, it's with my parent. They want to meet you. If you don't want to do this, at least, do it for them. I want to see them happy""Do you think that happiness will remain when they find out you just rented me for a show?" She asked."I'll handle that when that happens. For now, do this for me" he said. She sniffed in."Fine. Text me the date" she said and finally got out of the car. Trevor watched her leave. His assistant turned to stare at him."Did your parents asked to see her?" He asked."That's my excuse. I'll do anything to see her again. Prepare the date for tomorrow evening""Yes boss" he said.Michelle was tired after working her ass off at the restaurant. She was even thinking of quitting, since the dating job is doing well. She locked the door and dropped her bag as she rushed to the dinning room. Chloe and Kelly saw her and ran to her, hugging her tight. "Oh, my babies. I'm sorry I've not been with you lately. Mummy has been busy"Chloe stretched her tiny hand and touched Michelle's face. "Daddy is with us""And daddy made dinner. Come eat honey" Francis said, holding a pot. He wore the apron on his body without tying it. Michelle smiled. She walked the kids back to the table as they ate. "I didn't know you were such a good cook" she complimented him. "I'm good at everything" he replied and winked. The dinner was going well, till Francis decided to speak again. "So, have you received any call yet? I saw the car that dropped you off through the window" he said. Michelle frowned deeply. She stared at the kids. They were busy eating but, they acted like they didn't
"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
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
