Lilian I followed silently though I really wanted to find out about what was going on in the neighborhood. Another shot went out again followed by screamings and ass kickings. We listened camly from our hiding until the men walked out completely from the place. I left my half-sister inside and stepped out alone. I only found a weeping neighbor's young daughter who related the information to me. Earlier last month, the lessor had increased the rent but the leasee insisted on paying up with the previous rent. The angry lessor had him arrested until he would be able to make a complete payment. "I can't believe he did all that, I'd never seen him in my life. He must be a really violent person." Jasmine said with folded arms. "How long will he be detained?" "Until he has paid up the rent." She got up, peered through the window and shrugged. "Pass my glass of juice, please." I did. "I'll be traveling back home by tomorrow, I hope you will write your blind pa a letter, I could read

Jasmine* "Through the media, everyone knows that you are the wife of the well-known billionaire in town, Mr. Jason." Now, I didn't always want to hear his name being mentioned in my ears. "A glass of apple juice." I said that so she could back off from the discussion. I followed the waitress outside the room. "I'll be waiting at the counter." "Alright, ma'am." Irene stood, conversing with a young girl who stood with a man around his early thirties. "How much is the charge for five hours?" I heard the man ask. "A hundred dollars, sir." I watched as the man took out some money and placed them on the counter. "Here is it," "Alright, the door is open, simply push it." The girl preceded the man as they walked toward the hotel room. That was Ariella! Jason's staff."I know that girl, is that her father?" "How do you know her? She comes here with different men, I suppose this one should be her sugar daddy as they've been here twice now." "She works at The Bang and Cum too, she

Nicole* I may be the villain here but I think I had a heart of gold toward my ex-boyfriend, Jason before he started to play smart. Villains were sweet souls before they were forced to turn evil because he kicked me out of life, no one else would stay with him while I live! I was supposed to be given the sum of a hundred thousand dollars weekly as his girlfriend to fend for myself. He automatically stopped after he was announced as the youngest billionaire in the whole of Broken Hill. Did that make any sense? I guess not, so this was what happened. On a certain day, my ex-boyfriend returned from work and complained about a fall in his income. According to him, the company was losing it financially and he had to stop giving me the supposed weekly peanuts for my upkeep else he would go bankrupt. Of course, he lied! A billionaire had all he wanted and I perceived he was going to kick me out of his life. Oh, I know he wouldn't say this part of the story but have emphasized how wick

Irene* Another blindfolded me. I sat among two men, one was more violent than the other, and he wouldn't even let me change my sitting posture. I couldn't complain as they had glued my mouth with tape. All I could do was fall into deep thoughts. Was this the boyfriend I was proud of? He had set me up, he was probably working for Mr. Jason. I won't forgive him if I found out the truth. "Turn left, it's getting late." The so-called boyfriend commanded, he was seated in the passenger seat. What if they weren't working for Mr. Jason? Oh God! What if they were working for Nicole? I rolled my eyes at him, his eyes were on the side-view mirror, and he was looking at me with hate in his eyes. I blinked immediately and threw my face at the pedestrians on the street. If my guess was right, then, that would be terrible, I told myself. They continued to drive, and drive until there were no more traces of light around. It was all dark and cold and the men's faces were dark, everything.

A pleasant weather accompanied the day set aside for Jason and Nicole's wedding. The wedding venue was properly decorated to suit the class of guests and invitees that would grace the occasion. The number of people that were present at the wedding venue were more than the number of people invited. Couples from other cities were present, members of Nicole's family as well, and fewer people from Jason's family. They all sat around the high table with dressed is similar patterns. Mrs. Laura was absent, she'd already told her son that she was not in support of him taking in another woman especially if the woman was Nicole. She believed that her son was acting out of a spell without his awareness. The church's multi-purpose hall was now crowded, people of different caliber filled the hall and were waiting in anticipation. Their eyes steadied on the entrance from where the bride would emerg! The priest walked in from the room behind the stage smiling, he held his rosary in one hand,
