Jason POV
"I miss you too, Mom" I said into the phone.
"C'mon Mom, I promise I will be home by weekend" I assured her for the second time, while fiddling with my car keys. "I will definitely..." I was saying but all of a sudden, someone bumped into me from my back, causing my cell phone to fell down and shattered on the floor.AlrightSomeone nose is getting broken tonight. I thought angrily.I turned abruptly as anger laced through me.OhA lady?"How dare you?" I roared and I could sense the fear in her eyes as her whole body vibrated.
How could she be so stupid?
"I didn't..mean..to.." She stuttered and I became more furious."Do you know what you just did?" I shot at her but she only stared down at her feet. "I am so sorry" She muttered and I scoffed."You are sorry? ""Would your sorry fix this?" I asked her switching my gaze to where the phone was lying on the floor.She was not saying anything, I leaned on my car as I watch her sobbed quietly.F*ck!I glanced behind her and saw the only person I detested the most in the large poster.Hold on.. Was this the reason she bumped into me?She technically bumped into me just because she was lost staring at Rodney picture?If so, then she's gonna pay for this, I will surely have my revenge. I thought as I fumed inwardly."I will fix your phone" I heard her say- snapping me out of my thought and I frowned."How will you fix it ?" I asked her, trying to suppress my anger."And how will I get it back?" I added staring down at her naive face.She was quiet again and I just huffed."Here" I said, stretching out my business card to her since she had refused to say something.She glanced up to look at me in the face but quickly brought her face down as she collected it from me."I am giving you only three days, if you were unable to fix the phone in three days, then you would do anything I ask of you" I explained with a cold voice and she nodded curtly. "And don't even think of running from me, cause even if you run to the moon, i will definitely track you down" I added with clenched teeth and she froze.GoodNo one messes with me and go scot-free.I stared at her for a long time hoping she understood all I just said cause I don't give empty threats.After what seems like forever, I finally got behind the wheels and drove away.~Tamara~
Would life ever be fair enough for me?
I thought as I walk slowly to my home.How do I get to repair this phone? I asked myself staring down at the phone in my hand.It was obvious the owner is wealthy enough to have twenty pieces of this phone.But why can't he just let this go? I thought, sadly.I got home and went straight into my bedroom.I sank on my bed and sighed frustratedly.I was starving but with the sombre mood I was, I didn't think nothing would taste in my mouth. So I just lay on my bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling above.My father was financially stable enough to sponsor me throughout my education.But No.He's bent on making me suffer.He would even collect my salary and savings from me most times.God,please help me. I prayed.Mother, I don't know you.I don't recognize you but I am very sure you know me very well cause you gave birth to me.Wherever you are right now, you could see I am suffering badly. Help your daughter Mom, I don't want to give up on life so soon.I pleaded weeping, uncontrollably.Rodney POV
"Here's your script, Mr Rodney" The director said as he proffered the script to me.
"Thanks" I replied as i collected it from him."Please I would like you to focus more..." He was saying but was interrupted."Rodney" I heard and we both turned to look at the caller.Joanna?She smiled lovingly at me as she catwalks to where I was standing with the director beside me.What's she doing here?"Hi Rodney" She called sweetly- as she stood in front of me.I took her hands in mine instantly, and started to pull her behind me, as we both walked out of the crew."What are you doing here, Joanna??" I asked her immediately we both settled at the back seat of my car and her smile turned to a frown in a swift."What do you mean by that, I've been calling your number for like ages but you refused to pick my calls. So I decided to call Henry to confirm your whereabouts " She explained, plainly."I came running to this place immediately I got your location" She concluded bitterly and I sighed softly."But you shouldn't be here" I told her and she leaned closer."Didn't you miss me?" She pouted her lips cutely and I chuckled softly."I'm very busy with work lately Joan, I am sure you understand" I explained and she nodded."Okay, fine. But i'm coming with you to the upcoming city show" She said bluntly."But.. "I tried saying something, she shushed me."No But Mr Rodney" She said sternly and I raised my hands in surrender."Fine, you won Miss Joanna" I said sarcastically and she pulled my ear."Ouch" I yelped."It hurts" I pouted and she laughed.She's the only female friend I have and the only one person I acted all free minded with.She is more like my own sister, I like her.Joanna POV
"Hey babe!" I greeted Ava cheerfully as I walked into her apartment.
"Someone looks so happy" Ava said, eyeing me suspiciously."Of course I am so happy, Ava" I told her as I took sat seat next to her."Rodney agreed to bring me along to the city show" I added happily."Are you for real?" Ava asked surprisingly, as she adjusted on the sofa she was sitting on."Of course babes" I enthused, while pushing the strands of my hair back."Wow.. Wow. You are really getting along with him, aren't you?" She said with enthusiasm and I smiled broadly."Yes.. I just have to do it one after the other" I said, standing up from my seat."I will make sure I have Rodney wrapped around my fingers" I said determinedly as a smirk lingered on my lips. Definitely.Tamara POVI dallied into the phone's repairer workshop the following day, hoping he would be able to proffer a solution to the shattered phone.“Good morning, Jones,” I greeted, dolefully.“Hi Mara”“What's up?” He replied, cheerfully.I brought out the phone from my small purse and gave it to him, and a smile ran across his lips.“ You've got a nice catch? Huh,” He winked-smiling sheepishly.I respected him a lot ever since he had helped me repair one of the phones my dad spoiled, without collecting a dime from me.“Jones, I am not here for jokes this morning and as it is, I am running late for work already, so please answer me” I said solemnly.“Hm mm… Someone looks so sad,” He said as he kept checking the phone.I stood opposite his table while watch him checked the phone. I just pray it works.“Well… This phone cannot be repa
Rodney Shaw POV,I stormed into the mansion and headed straight to my room, ignoring the few maids who were greeting me.I got to my room and started throwing things,I kept ruffling my hair while I paced my room angrily.F·ck!I picked the bedside lamp on the nightstand and smashed it against the wall.“Argh” I groaned and began to throw the pillows on the floor.I really wanted to listen to her, I badly needed an explanation.Why did she leave me?How could she leave me in such state?I turned around abruptly and stared at my reflection in the mirror.'She left you when you needed her the most' Sienna words reeled through my mind and rage crept up in me again as I hit my knuckles against the mirror, which came shattered into pieces on the floor immediately.Blood oozes out of the wound, but I didn't care, the pain was nothing compared to my broken heart. I crouched to the floor, weeping profusely.
Tamara POV“You will become my personal maid for the next three months” He declared in a finality tone and my jaw dropped.“What? “ I bellowed.Is he being serious now?“You heard me right?” He said in a deep voice, while he removed a strand of his hair from his forehead.Well. I don't care now.“What do you mean I'll become your personal maid?” I asked with a frown.“I mean, I have another work, and you know that.” I blurted as a matter of fact, but he seems less bothered as his expression holds an impassive one.I am done for!“How do I cope? “ I lamented.“Well… I don't care,” He replied bluntly, and believe me when I say I feel like slapping senses into his numb skull.He didn't say anything, and I decided to speak up.“Please, I beg of you, I will become your personal maid but only on weekends” I pleaded as I rubbed
Tamara POVI plonked myself on the bed and allowed my eyes traveled to the white ceiling, staring at it blankly.'And also, you will be my date to Rodney city show' The phone owner words reeled through my mind and I scoffed. I plopped my head on a pillow, still not looking away from the ceiling.Of course, I should be happy,I meant, finally I was going to be attending his show.But my subconscious mind kept telling me it's not going to be good.And that jackass!I didn't even know his name.Why did I have this strange feeling about him?First, he asked me to become his personal maid and now, I should be his date to the city show. Gosh!Who does that?What exactly did he want?Oh, Mara!I just hope he was not going to sell me off.I heaved a massive sigh.Rodney, if I get to meet you tomorrow at the city show, then trust me you are going to hear it from me.You've really caused me a lot. I rolled
Tamara POVI stepped out from the bathroom and slowly walked around the guest room, admiring every bit of the interior in it. It really looks appealing.I got to where the shopping bag was lying on the bed, and I couldn't help the little smile that found its way across my face.That jackass…What was his name again?Jason! Yes, Jason.I heard that from one of his employees.He might be a jerk,But I think he really has a great sense of fashion.We just arrived from the biggest shopping mall in the City, and without asking if I liked them or not, he picked the dress, shoes, clutch and even jewelry. He picked everything for me by himself, all I did was to watch him.I brought out all the content from the shopping bag and smiled broadly again. I've never seen such a beautiful dress like this before.The red gown fits me perfectly as it helps to reveal my curves. I twisted my lips as I scrutinized myself in the dressing mir
Rodney POVThank goodness I was able to pull myself together up at the stage. The song is actually dedicated to my mom.I sang with a shattered heart, I couldn't let my tears out, so I gladly let my heart did the crying. F**k! She really broke me.How could she leave like that?How could she just disappear without no traces?I walked slowly, finding my way to the restroom. I closed the door after I came out, I turned to leave after doing my business from the male toilet, but someone bumped into me and tripped. Gosh!She nearly fell,, but I quickly caught her by the waist and pulled her to myself. She shut her eyes and breathe out in relief. Sincerely, I was also relieved I could save her from falling.I watched as her little hand rested on my broad chest. She finally glanced up to look at me, and I froze instantly.Her sharp blue eyes pierced into mine.Her innocent face stared back at me.I knew her
Tamara POVI switched on the living room light and I felt my heart left my chest at the sight before me. He was sitting on a single couch in the living room with a bottle of liquor in his hand.Holy Christ!“Slutty creepy princess” He sneered as he stood to his feet and I swallowed hard as I cowered a little.He was walking towards me now, and I could feel my whole body vibrating.I followed his gaze, and it landed on the wall clock.Jeez! It was 9:45pm.I was quite late.“Where are you coming from?” He inquired coldly, and I felt my lungs tightened as I sought for what to say.Oh good Lord,What do I say?“From…work” I stuttered, and he slapped me hard across my right cheek.Yes,I was expecting that.“You are coming from work dressed like a whore?” He fired, and I shook as I held my pained cheek.“Give me your phone,” He ordered.&ldq
Rodney POVShe reluctantly came into the car and exhaled softly. “Hello” I said quietly to her.She looked up at my face and froze immediately. “Rodney Shaw?” She muttered, and I just nodded perfunctorily.She became so tensed, which earned a little smile from my lips. “You don't have to be scared girl, I just wanted to ask you a question and I will be glad if you could answer me correctly, I told her, and she quickly nodded her head.“Where's your colleague now?” I inquired calmly, turning to face her with keen interest.She breathes out deeply, and it took her some seconds before she eventually spoke up. “She has not been coming to work for the past two days now” She replied pathetically, and I cocked my brows.“Why has she not been coming to work?” I asked her again, and she shook her head sideways. “I don't know either,” She replied, staring out the window.“B
