LOLA
My heart shredded to pieces when I saw those two standing there smiling at the camera. I will believe it, Jeff was the same person building a hospital for Leah. While he never stopped telling me how much he hated working ladies , he said I was special to him, he was the only one who really cared for me.
But it turned out everything was a charade from the start. They must have been in this together. I was made to flee the scene but something Mr arrogant said made me rethink. He was wrong. No lady deserves to be treated this way. It would be unlike me to just leave this way, recalling how I escaped from the house just to share this day with him even at the risk of being disowned by my father, and this is what I get.
I made my way back to them. He was yet to see me, but when he finally did he flinched, but that was only for a moment before I pounced on him, giving no f**k about the consequences. Earlier, I refused to attend Leah's engagement for fear that I would end up bringing her misfortune and ruining her day, yet I'm doing just that but she brought it upon herself. When I was done venting, I realized I wouldn't be able to make it out in one piece. Dad will probably chop off my legs tonight or Mr Jones will come after my head. This was not the headline they hoped for. I had no choice but to put on an act. I burst into tears with my hand on my mouth. Fortunately, most of my audience are women. I don't need to shed more light, I just know that my name will be known to all after tonight if the two families didn't take the news down before it came to light.
I headed to the car. I tried opening it but someone did before I could. " You should stop crying and pay them back in their own coins. " Mr. Arrogant said. I realized that I was safe. I raised my head. Crying for dickheads was never my thing. Jeff should be happy we are in a public place. If not, I would have really enjoyed making him impotent.
" You are not crying?" He asked in disbelief, but that is not what I'm after, he just said something very funny. Pay Jeffrey Jones back with his own coin, a coin I can never lay my hands on. I'm sure my funeral talk is already being prepared at home. I only came back to this country to pursue my career. Who would have thought I would end up like this?
" How?" I snapped, flinging my hands in frustration, listing what Leah had achieved at such a young age while I was struggling to enter the entertainment industry.
" Take my hand and I will make your dreams come true. " He said, smiling, taking his hand. The last time I did something bad happened he may even end up being the next Jeff. I shifted to the edge of the car, making sure enough space was between us.
" Two hundred thousand dollars to be my date tonight."
" Huh" I stared at him, but he maintained a straight face. I started laughing. He must be a comedian trying to make me forget what happened tonight. I truly appreciated his efforts, but he seemed serious. " Who do you think you are stupid , Torak Donovan, or Ryan Donovan?. " I mean only these two men can squander money the way they like, but that is understandable. I've got the cash.
Instead of replying, he proceeded to fill me in with details about his girlfriend and father. Thanks to this, I realized that I was sitting in the same car with the god of wealth. Trust me, I couldn't handle the shock.
" You're Torak Donova...?"
" Yeah" he cut me short quickly before I could finish my question. I took a deep breath trying to control myself from pouncing on him. This guy here is the King of all a**holes, the most notorious player whose sex life is on every social media platform, the only man who's not a celebrity but has more followers than most of the celebrities in the country. Even his brother Ryan, who is a top celebrity, doesn't have the amount of followers this person has.
No one knew what Torak Donovan actually looked like except those ladies who had been in contact with him.
" You want me to help you deceive your father?" I asked to be sure I was not hearing things.
He nodded casually in response.
OK, things are just getting messy and interesting even though the amount is very tempting, but I'm not a headless chicken who will jump into its own grave. We are talking about the ruthless head of Donovan's family here.
" So?" He asked nonchalantly, without even a slight remorse.
" Don't you feel it isn't right and I can't even get rid of the image of your girlfriend tormenting me both in reality and in my sleep for impersonating her on the night she was supposed to impress your father with her charms" he stared at me with a blank expression on his handsome face before bursting into laughter. He laughed so much that tears escaped from his eyes.
" Seriously?" He laughed, "Are you an actress?" I cast him a deadpanned glare, retorting" I do the singing, not acting."
" Figures," he muttered.
" I'm being serious here Mr Torak, how do you think your father will feel when he finds out you lied to him? " I asked him and he went silent, probably reflecting on the mistake he was making. He moved closer to me, placed a hand on my shoulder, pulled me closer to himself and whispered in my ears " my old man, my problem, so are you in or out?" I stared at his face for a while, confused about what to do.
Did he really mean it when he said he would help me get back at Jeff? But from what I heard about him, this guy was no different from them. Moreover, I don't think there won't be any consequences after lying to Rodolfo Donovan. The old man may probably come after me behind his son's back.
I can't believe I thought him to be my Messiah when he had already dug up my grave, it was as if he helped me out of a hot pan only to push me into a burning oven.
" Why?" I asked, gulping nervously.
" What?" He murmured with a confused expression.
" Why do you want to help me?" I asked, clearly knowing his reply would determine if I would embark on this adventure with him. He took my hand in his and that strange feeling ran down my spine again, but he kept smiling harmlessly, " I hate guys who make pretty ladies cry." I hurriedly jerked my hands off his in disbelief. Dear God, where's the shame? Because this guy doesn't have one.
He smiled like a devil looking at his now empty hand.
" Do you know you are no different from them? Seriously, "I scoffed, " how did you feel making that statement because apparently you are their f**king, King. "
" Wrong, you are mistaken, wonder woman. I never went after any of my women, they came to me on their own accord. I'm the victim here, since I don't know how to say no and have them cry. " I opened and closed my mouth like a golden fish, as ridiculous as he sounds. He was right. Those ladies went after him to get firm, but the way he said it was as if he was the Messiah. Torak Donovan might be a player and all that, but he's a smart ass who has never been beaten in his own game.
He must be playing with me, maybe a test, but why is he testing me? Did he think I was going to chicken out of the deal or expect a romantic relationship with him? No way! His way out of my league and totally not my type of guy. The bad boy and players are the bones of my life. I go for the good guys.
" In" I replied to him and he smiled once more. I wonder if his cheek doesn't hurt. Those smiles never reached his eyes, it was as if he was being conscious of something I didn't know, his stupid smile made it difficult to see through him.
Now I prefer his previous grim, grumpy side of him. He was probably angry then and wanted me out of his car.
" I was in a bad mood, that was why I was rude to you earlier, sorry for that, you just made a great decision, deal? " He said, stretching out his hand for a handshake. I looked at his outstretched hand alarmingly.
If it was not that he's also a human, I would have said he read my thoughts, but I guess that's impossible. I stared at him suspiciously for a while . " Deal then, but I think we should keep our hands to ourselves," I remarked, giving him a fake relaxed smile. I can't let him know that I'm nervous and stricken right now.
" Since we're all done, let's go then." I said, signaling his chauffeur to drive to the intended destination, but the look on his face said otherwise.
" What? "I asked, not uncomfortable with the look he was giving me.
He arched his brow," do you really plan to follow me dressed like this? " He asked, pointing at my clothes like they were some pieces of rags.
I looked down at myself, examining my dress to know whether I wore it wrongly or maybe it tore somewhere when I was ministering to Jeff, but I couldn't find any problem with it. Blinking innocently, I asked what was wrong with my clothes? ".
He scoffed irritably." Your dressing alone is enough to sell us out, my father doesn't even need to guess if you are Tasha or not, because my girlfriends are all fashionistas and my dad is aware of this fact. I don't date girls who dress in shab... "
" Shabbily? "I said to him and I saw his eyes soften.
" I didn't mean it that way, Lola, I just wanted to.."he tried, explaining remorsefully.
" I know," I said, giving him a fake smile.
" So what do you have in mind?" I changed the topic, trying to ease the awkward tension in the car and, thankfully, he played along smiling, he said.
" Transform you from head to toe."
Nervously rubbing my hands together, I said,
"I can't wait to see what happens then. "
Torak" How do I look?" Lola said, making a pose.I looked up from the magazine I was going through and my jaw dropped." Wow! You look different and sexy Lola." I complimented her and I saw a blush creep up her face. I smiled. She deserves it." Hm, Lola, I think we should get going, my old man doesn't have that much of a patience and I've kept him waiting for a long time. " I reminded myself." Yah, let's get going then" she stepped out of the makeup studio. While I handled the bill before joining her, I opened the door for her. When she was settled, I looked around us, trying to make sure we were not being followed." Who are you searching for?" She asked immediately. I sat down beside her." No one, just making sure we're not being followed. " I answered, signaling Caleb to hit the road." Followed? Why would anyone want to follow you, it's as if you are some celebrity or politician or some... " She trailed off, " I understand, you are probably checking out for some bad guys, you
LolaI began hastening my pace, trying to catch up with Torak, when out of nowhere I tripped and almost fell, but someone's hand captured me by my waist midway to kissing the ground.I stared at him only to discover our lips were just an inch from meeting. I gulped nervously as if there was this huge lump in my throat when he began leaning in. Was he going to kiss me? Kiss me?! What the hell is going on? What if this is a test? My God! I'm really screwed." What's going on here?" Someone asked to save my ass. He gently let me go, making sure I was stable enough not to fall again. Sobering, I regained my posture while trying to hide the blush on my face as my cheek began to burn. I don't know if this is just me, but I have this feeling that he's doing all this on purpose, flirting with me any time he gets the chance." Tasha," Torak called casually. I turned to the direction he was looking in and just behind me was a down-to-earth beautiful woman with spotless milky white skin. Her red
TorakI wasn't expecting things to get weird and heated, I was just teasing her, not trying to kiss her, but since we're in contact, the pull was so strong that she also couldn't resist. It was a good thing that Tasha interrupted. If not, we would have done something we'll probably regret afterwards. I knew Tasha had the right to be suspicious, but our relationship wasn't based on trust. I made it clear to her from the start, so she got all possessive and interrogative.I knew she wasn't stupid to forfeit a dinner with the Donovans over some stupid business meeting, her parents would probably disown her. She was with me for a reason which was something I was very aware ofOur relationship is built to satisfy her sexual needs. I was never the faithful guy and she cheated on me, which she has every right to, because I don't care. I don't see what gave her the right to be furious when I'm with another lady.Well, I'll just play along with her for the night. My heart hurt like hell when I
LOLAI can't believe I just met Nora. We kept on chatting like two lost friends who had just found each other. Nora was a carefree person, unlike other rich kids would be. She was different, friendly and humble." You girls should enjoy yourselves while I go to greet my friend. " Ryan said, kissing the back of my hand." Nora, make sure you take good care of Lola, you know she's new here, " he playfully instructed Nora, who glared at him with a sneer." Who said you are permitted to leave your bad wolf," Nora said, capturing his hand and refusing to let him leave. Two of them kept dragging it, refusing to back down, while I watched their child-like attitude with envy. It was something I could only wish for, a family who would love and accept me, but Leah would never let that happen. Even though we're twins, I only joined the family when I was eight, so I don't know much about wealthy people's lives. I was relying on my sister for guidance, who would have thought that she was a viper an
TorakI gave the best offer because I knew Ryan wouldn't dare to bid such an amount even in his next life just for a woman. I flashed him a sinister smirk, daring him to try double the amount. He should have known I wouldn't back down and allow my Lola to go to him, not after all my trouble, to bring her here."Grow up the both of you!" Father said, but we growled at him. I turned to Ryan, eyeing him viciously.Lola is coming with me whether they like it or not. Ryan tried talking her out but I'm certain she's already mine since she needs that money more than anything else. The few minutes I spent with her were enough to get to know her.Ryan was busy bad mouthing my son but I couldn't say anything to defend him because whatever the proud d*ck was saying that brat was the honest truth,if not that I didn't want to lose to Ryan,, wouldn't allow Lola to work under. The cam , the spoiled brat, had already fired six nannies. Three of them retired after being seriously injured by him.But t
LolaI groaned loudly, turning to my left side still feeling sleepy , but my body face popped on someone , making my heart skip a beat. My eyes flew open only to be welcomed by darkness, I turned my light off because I find it hard to sleep when it's on.I reached out under my pillow searching for my small dagger. To my amusement it was gone, I became frightened trying not to alarm the intruder, I've always been a light sleeper how did I doze off without noticing this person's presence. I blindly reached out to my bedside lamp to switch it on, when I did I gasped by the sight that graced my eyes so early in the morning. An innocuous angry was sleeping peacefully by my side with no care of the vicious world we're living in, my heart melted the moment I caught sight of his choppy face, he was just too adorable, I was too carried away by his beauty that I momentarily forgot that I was yet to have a child of my own, so there's no f*cking way a child should be in my little apartment.I imm
LOLAI ran back to my room angry, Torak was such an a$$hole, I know I'm in need of money but that doesn't mean I would do just anything to get it. My phone stopped ringing immediately I picked it up, I gasped on seeing the number of missed calls and they were all from one person, someone I never expected to contact me.I made a call back but a message popped up on my screen. I quickly opened it and was surprised by the content. " Hey, where the f**k did you dump your phone?, I've been standing at the front of your apartment since the beginning of the world, did you even pass the night here?, Oops! Don't tell me you spent the night f**king around ?, Get your ass down here and make sure you come up with a believable excuse along with evidence, a dripping pussy will do, your beautiful karma, love you. " I rolled my eyes over and over again after reading the poorly written message, ' some people would never change. ' I muttered under my breath, what could possibly bring karma back to the
TorakI looked at the mess Cam created and I felt a strong urge to skin him alive, until he finally realized I'm the father here, not him." Holly mother! Was there a plane crash in here?" I heard Ryan's dramatic cry and my stomach tangled up in disgust, I hissed focusing my attention back to my little walking disaster, his chest was heaving in fury it's a good thing he couldn't hit me if not my face would have transformed to a smashed papaya, he spirited towards the living room with his short legs heading to father's television." Don't you dare!" I thundered and in the next second I picked him up by his cloth,he kicked and screamed at the top of his voice, but I ignored him, spanking his behind, since he badly needed discipline.What was supposed to be our breakfast was all turned to the floor by him, the glass dining table broken to pieces, I continued spanking him until someone pulled him away from me. I looked up only to see him in Ryan's arms. My expression darkened." What's go
