False Best Friends Chapter 53: I am not a little boy
"Then let's make each other happy."And while they made each other happy and Joan sat at the little boy's bedside watching over him, shadows littered King Johannson's hospital room and when day break came and all were entranced in the hypnotic spell of dreams, King Johannson's room stood empty.*Joan felt someone run a hand through her hair and she shot up immediately, her eyes wide and frantic. They settled on a boy laid on the bedside, bright black eyes blinking up at her innocently. The boy had a questioning look on his face and so did she. She wondered what she was doing asleep, and sitted beside him.Who was he?Then she remembered."Are you okay?" she asked immediately, her hands reaching up to... She actually didn't know. He slapped her hands off then grunted in pain.She stared at him, shocked by the act."Don't touch me." he warned and she couldn't help but shiver at the sinister look that crossed his young face.She pulled back her hands, subduing her shock."You have a bea

"Alistair, behave." She warned sternly then turned to Dr. Shaw, "Please, carry on. I'll wait out...""No!" Alistair's head shot up, his eyes pleading and wide, "No, please stay."She agreed.Age could already foretell that he was a handful, two handfuls and she wasn't sure, in her current emotional state, if she could...*King! She went into panic mode.Alistair noticed, "Sister Joan, are you...""I need to go" She rushed out, already hurrying towards the door, "I have an emergency. Alistair, please behave and let Dr. Shaw treat you. Dr. Shaw please do take good care of him."She was out the door before either of them could respond.How could she have forgotten about him!? A whole day, 24 hours!She hurriedly took a shower, dressed up, grabbed a few dollars from her purse she had almost lost while trying to save Alistair and sped out of the house.She got there in approximately fifteen minutes."Miss Joan! I was about calling your mother."She made for the receptionist desk instead o

"Calm down, miss Joan. As I said, there are officer's already out, searching for him. If you have any information that you think can help...""I do."They turned to see the receptionist coming up to them."There was a man..."Her ears tuned in.*Charlene stayed still in the bed, waiting for Blake to return from getting food for her. He had declined when she offered to call room service, saying he wanted to give her a queen's treatment.She blushed. Blake was a good man and romantic, the perfect combination. Her thoughts flitted to Mr Vincent as it did occasionally. She shoved those thoughts away. She was happy now. She wanted nothing to do with the King's family. She was finally free from them and she had found love. Could her life get any better?Soon blake would propose and they would get married, get a mansion of their own and fill the house with kids. She would no longer be the maid of the mansion but the mistress of the mansion. She chuckled then shut her eyes, a content smile o
False Best Friends Chapter 56: Kisses that betray
How dare he lie to her and make her give him her body and then leave after a night!? She, a one night stand!? Even Master Luca didn't do such!She was over that. Reason she went further to have a hair and body massage at the hotel's spa and she was currently indulging herself in all the sweet desserts the hotel had to offer.She had $3000 left. She needed cash.She tucked herself in bed after consuming food fit for an elephant.She would sleep today; tomorrow, she would think.*"Koty?" Joan called surprised seeing Koty pacing in front of her door. He turned."Oh...good afternoon Mrs Micheals."Her mother who had been fuming throughout the car ride stalked up the stairs and into the house without responding."Don't enter my house Joan until you come back to your senses." Mrs Micheals snarled before slamming the door shut.Both she and koty jumped."What was that? You two had a fight?" he asked, wide eyed.She sat down on the stairs without responding, hugging her fragile figure to her

King would be so disappointed in her. He would feel broken if he heard, he would have that vulnerable broken look in his eyes like when he had seen Koty kiss her hand.She couldn't even cry, her body felt too tired for that and even more tired when she thought about telling King of what she had done.You don't have to tell him, a voice whispered.She collapsed on her bed. What if she never got the chance to decide?*"Impossible!"The bulky detective exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at comatose King from the entrance of the room.Joan wasn't listening. Her heart was filled with joy. She didn't believe it when the receptionist called her that morning and informed her King was back in his room.But upon getting to the scene, there he was, asleep and okay. He was okay. She pressed a trembling hand to her heart. He was fine."Then its that strange man then." The bulky officer muttered, recovered from his shock."Strange man." She repeated, coming down from her high."Or Jamal. You're out, you
False Best Friends Chapter 58: Home
"Oh.... you of course didn't know. She and Colton Adams shared a longgggggg kiss yesterday, the same day King was missing. What does that say?"She blinked. It couldn't be. Joan loved King, a lot. It was obvious, right?Luca let out an evil chuckle, "I'm sure King Johannson would love to hear how his beloved best friend kissed his arch enemy on the day he got lost. Love oh love."Isla snorted. She was sure Luca didn't tell her the exact story. Perhaps, Joan did kiss Colton Adams but was that all there was to the story?*"Do you miss home?"Alistair moved his head to the door. He had been reading a book Mrs Micheals left him."Sister Joan."He wished he wasn't so incapacitated, he hated not being in tune with the happenings of his environment so that he could help around.She looked so tired and depressed and he wished he could slap King awake from his coma."Do you miss home?" She asked again.He shook his head. Wasn't it Luca that sent him here?"Your siblings? Your parents?"He sho
False Best Friends Chapter 59: Luca's whore
Home. That damned mansion.She got into the black jeep, warm and comfy like Luca liked his cars to be. The man held her at gun point while the other loaded her luggage into the boot. The one who loaded her luggage got into the car and the one who held her at gun point stepped back out onto the curb. The door slid shut and the car sped away.She couldn't cry.*She was blindfolded throughout the surprisingly short ride, compared to the long distance she had expected.Probably Luca had gotten a house close by because of Miss Isla and his other brother. She felt the car enter through gates and into a garage. She was pulled out and led into a quiet house. She wondered what was going on. She became even more scared when she wondered if perhaps it wasn't Luca's men that took her. She was pushed down, quite gently, to a soft surface. A cushion, she realized and then her blindfold was taken off.She waited a second before popping open her eyes, one after another. She froze at the sight of the
False Best Friends Chapter 60: First kiss
"Luca's whore? And you treat her that way?" Jack blurted.His eyes narrowed, "What way?"Jack looked away, "You guys seemed like...lovers?"He rolled his eyes, "We kissed twice before I found out she was Luca's whore. The girl's a cunny one."Leprosy's eyes lit up, "Your first kiss!"His brows furrowed and then his eyes widened. Shit! That was his first kiss!*Three days and Alistair was feeling much better, thanks to Joan's pampering. He still felt pains in his body, his upper back specifically and he had headaches from time to time but he was strong, he could manage.The first thing he did after discovering he could now walk himself was to inspect the house he now lived in.Joan was fast asleep on his bed and he wasn't sure what Mrs Michaels was up to. He could already tell from the few meetings he had with Mrs. Michaels that she wasn't that much of a nice person and that she didn't have a good relationship with Joan.He surveyed the living room and the kitchen and the store room a
