Torak
Glaring at her, I wondered how I got myself entangled with such a stubborn ass like her. I was in a bad mood and didn't need any disturbance, but here she was disrupting every form of silence I needed.
I slumped back in my seat, letting her have her way. All I need is her statement, and once I lay my hands on it, she's out of my life forever.
I couldn't believe I was admiring her curves moments ago. Imagine how it will feel to be on top of her, but the shiver I got the moment we touched sent off a warning alarm that she was definitely dangerous. I can never forget the last time I had that feeling; the memories will forever remain in my heart to remind me how dangerous that path was.
It's just tonight, and she's gone. If our paths don't cross, we will remain strangers.
Trust and love will never be on my agenda, and probably until I vanish from this world.
Even though Tasha and I were an item, she knows I wasn't in love with her and that I hang out with her because she's a good companion and knows her place. Unlike those ladies that will do anything to have me for themselves, once I noticed such an attitude from my women, I avoided them at all costs. And the fact that Tasha is very great in bed, which is the best qualification any of my women must have.
The bitch continued with her singing, and I must admit, even though I was harsh and grumpy, she has a nice voice, which helped relax my nerves a little.
"We're here." My chauffeur announced, stopping the car in front of a four-star hotel, but instead of stepping out, she was busy looking around to confirm if she was at the right place, but I guess she had little to confirm because the place was already filled up by a crowd of people, and most of them were from the media room.
"What am I seeing?" She suddenly asked the most ridiculous question I've ever heard, making me wonder if she had gone blind, but if that's the case, I felt obligated to do her the favor of explaining, "In front of us is a large crowd of people, mostly paparazzi with their cameras taking pictures."
" Shut up! " She hissed loudly, cutting me off before I could retort: "She's already outside, hurriedly making her way towards the hotel." I snorted inwardly. This is the work of so-called love. She probably can't wait to be in the arms of her darling boyfriend. Well, who cares? All I need is her statement and I'm out of here before I get recognized, but I guess I don't have to worry about that, since the people here are mostly low-level staff and my picture has never been on any media platforms, even if it were to appear that my face was never exposed.
Stubborn ass was busy staring at the building with her eyes and mouth wide open. What a local chicken this place is; it's nothing compared to my bathroom back home, and she is fascinated. How will she react if she is opportune enough to visit my house? Unfortunately, I will never get to see her reaction.
After sometime, she turned towards me with a gloomy face, but my phone rang at that moment; I looked at the caller ID and it was my grumpy old man again, so I answered with a stern voice. "What now?".
"Even though I want to see your fiance, I don't have all the time in the world; don't you run late?" He screamed into the phone. Thank goodness I saw this coming; if not, what would have become of Torak Donovan? I hissed, "I'm caught up in some situations."
"Then hurry up." He ordered.
"Fine!" she heaved, disconnecting the call, irritated. I tried to imagine the look on his face when he discovered I was alone. I just pray he hasn't gone around blabbing to his friends about my imaginary fiancee. Turning around, her stubborn ass slammed into my chest. She looked up and jerked away at once as if I were poisonous, but I didn't miss that electrical shock again. I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously and asked, "Is she also feeling it?"
"Sorry," she said, but I could feel the dark clouds above her head. "I didn't expect you to turn at that moment." I stared hard at her for a while, not really understanding her. Is she this way because she slammed into my chest or because she couldn't get to her boyfriend? I couldn't tell, but something was off with her; she didn't seem to be the same person I came here with. "Where's your sweetheart?" Did he run off with another woman? "Judging from your look, I must be right; you look like a rusted chicken." I said I was laughing, okay, I never meant to taunt her, but guys, you should have seen her expression; she was singing "someone to love" by Shen Ward, and now I think she should be singing "Why do I love you?" by Westlife.
She cast a murderous glare at me and said, "Keep your toxic tongue to yourself before I pull it out for you." She hissed, looking away and blinking severally. "Okay, maybe I went too far." "I shouldn't have said that." "I'm sorry." I didn't say those words; they just rolled out on their own.
"Are you always this stupid, or do you especially want to piss me off today?" "Did your mom not teach you when to keep your mouth shut?" She said it with bloody eyes.
Okay, no woman born has ever talked to me like that. I can feel my demons threatening to come out, but those eyes that were filled with mischief a moment ago were now soulless, and somehow I could feel her sadness.
I need to get her out of my life before she figures it out. "Look, ma'am, I think you should give me your statement so I can get the hell out of this place." I said sternly.
"You can continue to wait for your sugarplum." She was clenching her fist, and her shoulders were trembling. I followed her line of sight only to see a couple kissing on the billboard; their surroundings seemed familiar to me. I looked around, and true to my instincts, the couple were surrounded by the press with their hands entwined as they showed off their rings.
But that's not all the lady was a copy of; the only difference was their hair; while stubborn asses have brown, bouncing curly hair, which was one thing that made them look breathtaking, the other lady has straight black hair.
"Are you guys..." I wanted to ask if they were twins, but stubborn Asa was already making her way towards the couple. This is bad! She will only get herself into trouble; this is no way of handling dickheads like him. I already knew the guy was her target, or, should I say, the two people who played her. From their expressions, the guy flinched on seeing her, but the lady had a mocking smirk on her face. This was the type of drama I had been avoiding in my life.
A strong punch met his jaw, followed by another. Her sister acted scared, but wonder woman isn't even close to being done, yet she threw the guy over her shoulder and slammed him hard on the floor face down.
"Oouch!" I screeched, and my hand subconsciously flew to my groin, covering my brother protectively. I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wow, Torak, count yourself lucky; that guy will never be able to satisfy his fiancee again." I quickly stood upright when I saw her approaching with her hands covering her mouth. Why is she crying when she was super cool just now?
I opened the door for her before joining her. "Drive," I ordered Caleb, with no destination in mind. She sat beside him, trembling, her hand muffling her cries: "You should be strong and pay them back in their own coin; make them regret hurting you." I gently advised. Suddenly she raised her head, wiped all the tears from her face, and gave me an unwavering "don't be stupid" gaze that sent goosebumps up my spine. "You," I choked, "weren't crying?" I asked in this disbelief, and she sneered and scratched her face up in disgust: "Crying over an idiot?" "They're not worth it," she scoffed. "Who was my actor?" "Did you get carried away and find me pitiful?" "Just wait; tonight's headline will be very interesting, Jeffrey Jones." "He got trashed by a wonder woman." "I will be popular after today, but I think I have no family; my father will surely disown me."
I opened and closed my mouth like a goldfish, unable to find a word to answer her; she's really crazy, and I'm even crazier because she's still in my car, and we are supposed to be saying our goodbyes.
"You are right." "I also want to get back at him and my family, but I'm nothing compared to my sister; I don't have her good looks; I'm jobless and broke; I don't have a boyfriend who's building me a hospital; nor am I as intelligent as stupid Leah, so how am I supposed to get my revenge?"
She whined, and the next thing, I jumped in like a headless chicken. "Take my hand, and I will make your dreams come true." Again, I didn't say those words. What's happening to my brain tonight?
She stared hard at me, trying to comprehend what I had just said. I guess she thought I was certainly bluffing, but an idea crossed my mind, and I spat it out before processing it.
"Act as my girlfriend tonight, and I'll pay you two hundred thousand dollars." I saw her mouth fly open as she asked, startled. "Two hundred thousand dollars just to be a fake date for only tonight?" She asks in disbelief.
" Yes." I answered, knowing my offer was too tempting to be turned down, but she suddenly started to laugh, making me wonder which part of my statement was funny. "Who do you think you are, crazy Torak Donovan or handsome Ryan Donovan?" Her questions made me realize I was yet to introduce myself, but why would I be the crazy one and that bastard handsome? She really does have poor taste—no wonder she got involved with such an a**hole.
LOLAMy 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
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
