“What did Alex tell you?”, Charles asked, irritated.The person burst out laughing seeing as what he heard was true, if not why would his friend get irritated.“Vincy”, Charles growled.“Calm down man, no need to growl at me. I just heard you've finally met your match”, Vincent teased again. Vincent was Charles and Alexander bestfriend, and was popularly called Vincy by his friends. He wasn't in the City, as he had left for a medical programme in the suburbs.Charles didn't like the way his best friend was teasing him. “He was attracted to Taylor and nothing else then why were they making it seem he was head over heels in love with her '', he thought, his forehead creased.“What was her name again….yes Taylor”, Vincent said pretending not to know Kate's name.Charles couldn't help frowning, “how much had Alex told Vincy, to call Taylor's name casually like they were friends”.“So tell me man, is she beautiful with curves. Damn! I'm sure she is, c'mon Charlie tell me, why are you bein
Kate sat at the driver's seat, her hands tapping the steering wheel, her mind deep in thought. “Was she doing the right thing by avoiding Charles”, she wondered, a conflicted look on her face. The pained look on Charles' face flashed in her mind, remembering how she rejected him. She didn't do anything wrong, she was just trying to protect herself. Charles was engaged, she getting into a relationship with him, will be a scandalous affair, neither did she want any more drama in her life. Dealing with Rose, Kyle and Andrew too was enough for her, she didn't want to include Charles to her list. Kate signed, her life had just been one big roller coaster since she arrived at City S. She looked out the window, she missed her old life, there was no worry, or stress just she and her family, and Rose but it all changed in one night. Kate fought the urge to cry, she still had nightmares about that night, wishing it never happened but it did. Her lines of thought were distracted when
“She could break off his engagement with Rose, so they can be together”. The thought made him grin, he was tempted to voice it out but knew it would earn him a disapproving sign from Vincent.“So what do you suggest I do?” Charles asked, rubbing his forehead.“Talk to her”, Vincent answered.“You can't be serious”, Charles hissed arrogantly. Taylor rejected him again, there was no way he was going to talk to her first.“If there was anyone that was gonna start the talking then it's Taylor”, he concluded in his mind“Still arrogant as ever”, Vincent thought with an eye roll.“This time you've got to put your pride down and talk to her man”, Vincent urged.Charles creased his forehead. “ Let down his pride, never!” He thought. “She rejected him, why should he be the one to talk to her”, he grumbled.“You want Taylor don't you?” Vincent added, sensing his friend didn't want to listen to him.“Of course I do”, Charles answered immediately.“That can only happen if you talk to her. Give he
"Arghh!", Kate screamed in fear. She was in an out of control car - her car.She stomped her foot on the brake paddle desperately, but still nothing happened, pressed the button of the car glass but the window didn't roll down. "This was crazy", she thought, panicking.The car drove into the woods, with no sign of stopping, they were already far away from city S.The moon was the only source of light, as the car drove deeper into the forest, speeding through the tree branches and driving on the rocky dirt road. Kate held onto the steering wheel for dear life, bending her head whenever a tree branch hit the car's windshield. "How had she gotten into this mess", she thought hopelessly, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Kate gripped the steering wheel tightly, the fear in her eyes turned to hatred, "Kyle, you son of a bitch", she cursed slamming her hand hard on the steering wheel before running it through her already messy hair, as tears streamed down her cheeks.Kate was the only
4 years afterThe night was black, the moon shone brightly as a Ferrari S430 drove into the Andino mansion stopping at the front porch.The driver door opened, a woman stepped out one foot over another. Wearing a black formal pencil dress stopping at her knee, pairing it with black pumps,her designer bag casually hung on her shoulder and her black short bob styled neatly, she screamed of money.She cat-walked her way to the double front doors, and casually threw the car keys to the chauffeur standing at the door who caught it effortlessly, then helped her to open the door."Mum, dad am home", the woman announced ,as she slumped on the nearest sofa,tired."Rose!", Tiffany said happily walking out the kitchen with an apron tied around her. Though they had a chef, Tiffany liked cooking herself sometimes."How was work?", Tiffany asked, heading back to the kitchen."Tiring," Rose confessed."Sorry dear, why don't you freshen up, dinner will be ready soon", Tiffany shouted."Sure mum", Ros
3pm, the next day, Saturday. At city S.Kate alighted the plane, the wind flew past her hair, she breathed in the air making her nostalgic. This was her birthplace, her home. The sun was high in the sky making everywhere hot, it was the dry season. Kate wore a blue sleeveless top with a keyhole neckline pairing it with a white jean leggings and blue Adidas sneakers , she packed her hair neatly into a ponytail with her shades on.Her portable hand bag casually hung on her shoulder while she dragged her suitcase. Kate looked around the airport, the airport had really changed compared to 4 years ago.Kate looked for an exit, she turned to her front when someone suddenly bumped into her - a woman, making her stumble back a little as she heard a cracking sound."Hey can't you watch where you are going!", Kate heard the woman scream in annoyance catching other people's attention."That voice, she knew that voice all too well", Kate thought as she slowly looked up to see the person she bump
At the Andino mansion "Care to explain this young lady", Nathaniel demanded in a harsh tone, frightening Rose. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a manner."She's the one who started it", Rose defended."Really Rose, every single thing was recorded. And you still dare lie to me", Nathaniel shouted in anger. Tiffany held her fuming husband trying to pacify him."Nath you have to calm down", Tiffany coaxed."How can I calm down Tiffany, have you read the comments!","Yes I have, but shouting at her just makes it worse", Tiffany tried to reason with her husband."No it's necessary Tiffany, so she'll know what she did was wrong", Nathaniel said angrily.Rose didn't pay attention to the couple as she was in her own world. Looking at the headline again, staring at Kate a little longer"."She got humiliated today and also shouted at by Nathaniel all because of that woman. She was going to make sure she pays", Rose swore.MeanwhileKate took the taxi to her apartment at the
8:00amKate drove to a cafe, she was able to convince Felix not to follow her.She parked her car and got in, taking a table. She ordered coffee and cookies. Kate was munching on her cookies when she heard a commotion."What do you mean, you can't deliver it. I came here because you guys serve the best coffee and cookies and you’re telling me you can't make the delivery", the woman shouted, annoyed, disturbing the other customers, as the lady behind the counter shrank in fear."Who could be making so much noise in the morning?" Kate thought, annoyed as she turned to look at the counter. It was Rose, wearing a red suit, pants and jacket pairing it with pump heels."Wasn't she meant to be at the office, what was she doing at the coffee shop alone this early", Kate thought as she stared at Rose then spotted someone with her.Apparently she wasn't, judging by the way the lady beside Rose dressed, she must be her secretary. What could they both be doing here?"Sorry ma'am, there is an iss
