FRANKIEI wake up with a terrible headache. I feel drowsy and moving is painful. What is happening to me? Why is this happening? Am I losing the baby?I pull the quilt off me and look at the sheets. They are so clean and there is no sign of blood.That’s a relief. It means that my baby is okay. I sit and support my back with the headboard. I reach for my phone and turn it on. There are several voicemails, including Aiden’s. I scroll down the contacts and dial his number.“Frankie?” He answers excitedly.“Hey?”“Oh my God! Are you okay? Amara told me what happened?”“Yeah. I'm okay. I will be okay.”“Did that asshole hurt you?”“Yeah but it’s the life I chose.”“What’s up? Just tell me what this is about.”“I owe him money. A lot of it and I’m working at his house to sort it out.”“That sucker!” he curses. “What money?”“I got into some company supplying drugs. Didn’t know we were dealing with fake drugs.”“Fake drugs?”“Yap. I supplied to Annex and was caught on the CCTV footage. I sw
TREYI storm into Stacy’s room and slump on her bed. She raises her eyebrows at me and continues scrolling through her phone, ignoring me completely.“You are going to pretend that I’m not here?” “It depends. Have you stopped being an ass?"“I can’t Stacy. This is my business we are talking about and I have lost a lot of money because of her. I don’t need to tell you that I’m being sued.”“That’s not reason enough to treat her this way. She is a gem and you will make her hate you. You are pushing her away from you. You don’t know how many people want her.”“Including you?”“Yap. Including me.”“This is not up for discussion. She deserves to suffer. I need you to help me with something.”“What? Torturing Frankie even though we know she is innocent?”“No. And please don’t bring up her name again!” I snap scrolling down my contacts.“Need you to call this number. His number is Dre. Pretend that you are Frankie and you want to meet up with him.”“Okay.” She keys the number on her phone a
FRANKIE“You should have waited for me to finish dressing up!” I hear a snap and turn to see a half-naked Trey glowering at me.My eyes travel up and down his body. He is so handsome. His chest is perfect, his abs beautifully outlined and I just want to walk to him and run my fingers on that killer body.I miss running them on it. I miss touching him. I miss being in his arms, him stroking and kissing my hair. I miss all the tickling, all the pillow fights, hanging out together; I miss playing on the beach with him and all this brings me to tears.What happened? How did we get here? I love him. God knows I love him with all my being and I’m burning for him.I want him back. I want my loving man back and not this monster standing in front of me. This monster who I created. I did this. I messed with his business and he unleashed his monstrous side on me. How I wish things were different! How I wish I was in this house under different circumstances and not as a help. Can’t believe he is
TREYI don’t think I can stay away from Frankie. I’m obsessed with her. I can’t just forget that she exists. She is part of my life and has occupied it more than anything else.She was right in front of me. She was in my arms. I had forgotten how it feels to hold her by the waist. I wanted to kiss her. To kiss and stroke her hair, which is one of my favourite parts of her body.I wanted to push her to the bed and kiss her hard. Trail my fingers on her whole body. Feel her wetness and make love to her.No. Not making love. Fucking her to get all this anger off my mind. I said she would be cleaning my room and study just to have a glimpse of her. Wanted to forgive her and stop this revenging crap but my asshole side wouldn’t let me do that.I pushed her away from me. She begged for my forgiveness but I couldn’t hear of it.Yet?I'm jealous of Stacy. She likes Frankie and isn’t treating her like trash but I on the other side, I treat her like some sort of slave.I can’t help it. My ange
I can’t stand the man standing before me. I hate him with passion. And now that he is interested in Frankie, I hate him more.Wait.Why has he used the word 'mine'? Does it mean that his pharmacy is one of the pharmacies affected? This asshole has said there are two pharmacies. Then it means Andrews has been affected too. Meaning?Aiden is not responsible for this. Someone else is. Who then?“Mr. David?” I regard him with a glare.“Mr. Jones?” He regards me back. “I see you are dealing with the problem.”“Yes. The fool won't talk. He says he is no snitch.”“Oh! He is no snitch? Let’s see about that.” He walks to Dre and hits him hard in the groin.“Who sent you asshole?” he shouts.Dre just groans in pain.“You won’t snitch?” I squat in front of him and grab his hands, twisting both. “Who sent you?” “Nobody.” He says weakly and spits some blood.“You are going to be spitting more than that!” I threaten and grab him by the collar. “Who the fuck sent you to sabotage our businesses?”“
FRANKIEI put my phone back into Stacy’s purse and look at her. She is talking to some attendant. This place is very expensive. I wonder why she insists on us shopping here. She is fun to hangout with. We have been up and down the whole day and I’m starting to get worried. Trey will be mad at me and this doesn’t help at all.I walk back to where they are and she gives me a grin, showing me some crop top.“This will look perfect on you. Try it.” She hands it to me with a grin.I run my fingers on the fabric and look at the price tag, widening my eyes at her.“What Frankie?”“This is expensive. I can’t take it?”“And so? We are using Trey’s card.”“He will flip. I don’t want issues.”“He won’t. He didn’t give me a price range and it’s nothing to him. Come on Frankie, how much money do you think my brother has? He has a lot. This is nothing.”“I don’t know.”“Try it on.” I shrug and walk to the changing room. She follows me but I don’t tell her off. After all, I’m not interested in her.
“Where the hell are you?” His voice booms on the other side. “You were with Stacy, she is back and you are not yet back.”This has gone over board. Who does he think he is to shout at me?“Stop shouting at me.” I give Aiden a glance and look away.“I will do whatever I damn please! You are my employee. You should be here like the rest.”“I did my part sir. I thought my job was cleaning your room and the study?” Aiden shakes his head and stands. He takes my phone from my ear and presses it on his.“What do you want Mr. Jones? Frankie is with me and it’s not her working time.” He is angry. How I wish I can love him.“Of course not. We have just made our orders so I’m afraid you will have to wait.”Why is he this exasperating?“Great. I told you I want to take Frankie out of this predicament. That’s what we are talking about.”He listens for a while and nods at the waitress who has already brought our food.“Will bring her once we are done. In the meantime, stop nagging her.” He hangs u
My alarm goes off making me groan in frustration. I reach for my phone sleepily and snooze it. I don’t like this. I'm still sleepy but I can’t afford to continue sleeping because my boss is a jerk. I struggle to open my eyes and get out of bed sleepily. I strip naked and walk into the bathroom. I turn the faucet on and let the cold water drip down my body. It helps me wake up completely.This place sucks. My boss sucks and I can’t afford to be late. I take a quick shower and walk out of the bathroom.I style my hair into a neat ponytail and put on the sucking uniform. I look at myself in the mirror and walk out. I walk down the hallway and into the kitchen, widening my eyes at the person seated on one of the bar stools.It’s Amara. What is she doing here? How did she get here? “Good morning sweetheart? Look like you have seen a ghost.” She says with a sneer. She crosses her legs and gives me a grin. A goofy grin.“Good morning too. What are you doing here?” I ask moving to the count
