Chapter 31My head was about to split into two and at the same time, it felt like I was hit by a truck.I groaned rolling myself in the sheets and holding my head with both hands. I couldn't remember much. I wasn't able to hold myself together because the pain was almost unbearable. Yet in all of this pain, the bed was still soft and as much as it felt unfamiliar, I relaxed as I tried to close my eyes tighter to ease the pain. That seemed not to work, so I opened my eyes and adjusted my sight to the unfamiliar calling. It was neatly white and so elegant. It felt like a five-star hotel but I was still adjusting my sight to the light that shot through from the large window panes at the side of the room. I could see the view of the city and it was quite beautiful."This is not home," I muttered to myself, wincing as I tried to get up only to fall back on the bed. There was barely anything I could do because my body felt numb. The pain I felt in my head multiplied. Groaning again, I slid

Chapter 33"How the hell did she get here?" I muttered under my breath. I was bewildered and thinking of how it was possible. Elliot and I were at the entrance of the lobby when she stepped in. I met halfway and she was glaring at Elliot from afar. Drew followed her behind, then the puzzle was becoming clearer."What the hell are you doing here?" I asked her but she pulled me into a hug. She was scouring my body for any injuries. "I'm fine, Kathy." I was the bridge between her and Elliot. She looked like she was about to rip him off his skin. She slid past me and went directly to Elliot. I was shocked at the way she bypassed both Drew and me to face Elliot."How dare you take her from the club, like she's your puppet or something?" Elliot folded his hands and watched her as she queried him. I was so alarmed but thankful that she cared this much but she was blind to the nature of what happened."You think you get to do anything you want because you are wealthy. That's just being mean.

Chapter 35It was over an hour ago since I saw Elliot's message. There was no need to leave the house, it wasn't my fault that I got the message late. I doubt that he was still going to be waiting at the park because he was a busy person and he wouldn't just be there waiting for me when he didn't get a response from me.I thought about it for a second and got up and wore something more appropriate. I came down to the living room when Kathy stopped me "Where the hell are you going this late?" I was about to answer when she interrupted me. " Don't tell me you are going to the club again?" She narrowed her eyes at me. "With Derek and Bella?" "Uhm, actually I'm just stepping out to the park nearby. Elliot is there waiting for me. Well, I'm guessing he is still there…" I trailed off.Kathy sighed. "Just take care, huh?"I took my coat and dashed out of the door as quickly as I could. The walk to the park was a short one. It was almost 9 pm and the park was still very busy. People are ou

Chapter 37Work started as a hassle I really didn't want to keep up with.It felt like today was just another busy day where we had to be on our terms taking up to three orders at once. I managed to wake up on time and get to work before Mrs. Lane had my head. She had already queried me for the month and if it continued, she had threatened to deduct from my salary. I couldn't afford that because I still had bills to take care of. We were short on groceries in the house and since Aaron was coming over we needed to restock. I had to support Kathy with this month's bills, so I couldn't afford that my salary was reduced because I was slacking. As we continued to serve the customers they began to disperse to their destinations and the restaurants became free. Bella and I were behind the counter as we made small talk together. "Zora, how are you feeling?" She smiled at me and winked. I knew she was talking about the night at the club. I still had a foggy memory from that night, I believ

Chapter 39Everything felt dreamy. I could hear laughter and chatty voices from the sitting room. I half opened my eyes and itched them for a bit, adjusting my sight to the blinding lights. I staggered to the living room, following the sound of the voices. I began to panic because there was someone else in the house, it was strange that someone would come this early to the house. It wasn't just strange, it was suspicious.On getting to the living room, I knew I heard Kathy's voice, she was being all chatty with Aaron this early. I wondered how they got up so early and still had the chance to be all over each other. Aaron had been with us for two days now. It was something I needed to get used to because it used to be just Kathy and me. I groaned and stretched my hands over to the back of my neck. It felt like I woke up from the wrong angle of the bed. I checked the clock that was hanging on the wall and groaned knowing I needed to get ready for work. I went back to the bedroom and
