Cassie’s phone buzzed in her back pocket. The view from the bathroom wasn’t too bad. She could see some of the men dancing and drinking and probably laughing at something she was sure wasn’t funny.That was her reality. So many people saw her as the perfect girl who had nothing to worry about and went about gossiping about people. It really wasn’t the case for her although she did enjoy talking about other people and drama. Whenever she had to go to her mothers house, sadness washed over her because she knew the criticism she’d face.She made herself more comfortable in the bathroom as she continued judging the guests. Her phone buzzed. She sat up immediately and struggled to zip her dress. The text was from Ethan. He was at the entrance of the hall. It was perfect for them to meet and talk by the corner, there was a camera just close by although it wasn’t visible, she knew she’d be able to capture her conversation with Ethan and if anything went wrong, he was going to be appreh
Ethan groaned as he sat on the cold concrete slab. He was impressed by how rich and influential Cassie’s mother was. He imagined how perfect her life was growing up and how she had things go easy for her.He rolled his eyes and clenched his teeth.He swore to deal with Taylor later, that was if he didn’t end up in prison by the end of the night.She had convinced him to come to her house and she told him she was going to give him an amount of money if he cooperated with her. He hissed as a guest eyed him. How he went from working for one of the biggest companies in America to barely feeding off whatever he could see was very crazy. What upset him the most was that he had caused it all for himself. When he found out Ruby liked Nate, there wasn’t much he could do about it as it was obvious she was long gone.What set off his infuriation was when Nate returned the energy and he’d stare at her when she wasn’t looking. He didn’t like Nate much, he never did anyway which was one of
Taylor smiled triumphantly, the dress was perfect. It was going to be talked about for a long while and when she finally tied the knot with Nate, the internet was going to go crazy. Her followers would increase, those who mocked her would be embarrassed.She laughed, daydreaming. Life was going to be perfect soon but first , she had to deal with the unnecessary bad press her father was getting. It was embarrassing and people were beginning to ask questions. Her smile quickly turned into a frown. The year had been tough for her and all that started when Ruby showed up at Nate’s office. She hissed, she hated Ruby so much and would rather see her not succeed. She knew Ruby had the biggest crush on Nate since highschool and she tried to separate them from each other. She was scared of the high potential of a chemistry sparking between them.Nate, just like Ruby, was the kind of person who always had his nose in a book. He always loved having intellectual conversations and shari
After a heated argument with the interior decorator, Taylor lay on the couch, enjoying the view of the sunset. She had requested for a baby pink and white decor but the decorator got the wrong shade of color.She huffed as she sipped her champagne. Everything was perfect even though there were slipups here and there. Most of the girls from her clique in highschool were going to be in attendance at the wedding. A devilish smile crept into her face. What if She sends an invite to Ruby and Esme and then they bully her just like when they were in highschool. She felt energy and happiness surge through her at the thought, the only downside to it was that Nate wasn’t going to take things lightly with her. Back in highschool, he never approved of her bullying anyone but he was too occupied by his own problems to fight for other people. She smirked as she ran her fingers on the stem of her champagne flute. How sweet was it to get revenge after being doubted and stepped upon consta
"You need to see this sir" one of Wyatt's workers said, alarmed as he rushed into the office. Wyatt had made the headlines of the newspaper yet again. Wyatt eyed the worker. He had suspected that the publication would be about his scandalous acts. "What is it?"he asked with a frown "Sir, you should see for yourself" the worker said as he pushed the newspaper towards Wyatt.Wyatt sighed as he took the newspaper.It was a picture of him when he was younger. He was accused of underage drinking and beating up his mate. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked, enraged. "Where did you get this from? Who the hell would do this to me?"It was unthinkable that something that had happened when he was eighteen or nineteen years was brought up in the news. He had forgotten about it a long time ago. "I don't know, sir. That was what was published in the newspaper this morning," the worker said with his head bent. Wyatt dismissed the worker immediately. He didn’t think that Dor
There wasn’t anything more hectic than walking in heels across a pavement. She had expected little or no rainfall since it was November but the rain had fallen endlessly.She scratched her back nervously as she walked into the burger palace. Mark had asked that she meet up with him for lunch. At first, she was thrilled at the prospect of having lunch with her boss. Over the past few days, she had had a couple of meetings with members of the project department. They were pleased to have her and they proposed the total amount of money and resources they were going to need. “I’m sorry you got in the rain” Mark frowned as he helped her place her umbrella in a basket. “It’s fine” she smiled wryly as she followed him to the table he reserved She wasn’t nervous, maybe a little bit tense but she was confident in what she had to say. It was a great way to get her mind off the chaos going on. “I didn’t realize you were a fan of tea,” she said, trying to make small talk. Just li
The trio stared at the newspapers, each lost in the contents of the papers. Ever since the exposure of Wyatt started, more things had been revealed about him. Things that no one could believe he ever did. “I guess we aren’t the only one into Wyatt. Who knows, he must have offended and old friend and whoever it is now getting revenge for everything”Katie commented while flipping through papers She had collected all the newspapers from the first day Wyatt started making the news. She noticed a pattern, most of the news published about him weren’t current news, they had happened years ago or in a different country. “I’m so happy he’s in so much trouble. I’d thought for a minute that it was only us that could see through all his acts” Adam repliedHe had now fully recovered from the injuries he sustained and he went back to work. “Have you tried talking to the reporter?” Nate askedTaking down Wyatt was one of the best things he had ever done for himself. He had promise
"Read this," Dorcas said, placing the newspaper in front of Roberta. Dorcas had a little boy deliver the news she wanted to be published to her every morning, not that she read them but it was her late husband's favorite thing to do. The morning newspaper had caught her attention and she was sure it was going to stir up so many controversies in the next few days.The only place she could meet with Roberta was at her Pilates class. She had security with her all day so it was difficult to see her.They scheduled their meeting every Wednesday for an hour. Dorcas groaned as she watched a woman do a spine stretch on the mat. Most of the women who attended the class were taking up their positions while she was at a corner discussing with her niece. She would have loved to join them but she couldn’t be seen outside, Wyatt had doubled the amount of people searching for her. It was three weeks to the election and any bad news or information about the candidates or aspirants coul
