Kelsey was dancing on the dance floor while a younger man tried to press himself behind her.My insides rolled as I watched him pull himself to her. She pushed the man away several times. From the corner of my eyes, I watched as she rolled off warnings at him.If he ever lay a finger on her, I would jam a punch across his jaw, that was the first thought that stormed my mind.And the young man did it, forcing his hands around her waist. So I approached them and pushed the man off."If you ever come any closer to her_" I swallowed my words as I shot a finger to his face."What will you do, huh?" The man questioned in Spanish.Pissed by his words, I threw a punch into his jaw. "You wouldn't like w

*******{FLASHBACK}******Mariana walked into the elevator, she was going to the 10th where her stepfather, Bernard was. He had had an accident while working at the construction site, and he had been rushed to the hospital by his colleagues.Just exactly at the 6th floor, the door ding open and a fine man walked in. He looked quite tall that when he walked in and stood beside her, she felt so small.And he had the eyes of the stars, they twinkled with a certain disappointment.His hair was roughened by his hands, and when he'd caught her eyes studying him, she abruptly looked away.The elevator beeped. Someone was about to enter.Mariana hadn't even caught sight of the lady's face before the man beside her reached for her, cupped her face and pressed his lips on her.No prior warning and he was a total stranger!At the touch of his lips on her lips, her hands shoved at his chest.What in the world!Who was he?Was he crazy?Instead, his lips pressed harder, parting her lips to signify

Mariana's POV Something clicked within Mariana when she heard her name. She knew who exactly was calling her, and her mind swirled with a thousand thoughts of what her bestfriend was doing here. "Zendaya?" The two friends stared momentarily at each other, stunned by their high taste gowns and donning hairstyles. Mariana felt a slow twist in her stomach, Zenny had been around since her encounter with Devon and never for once had Zendaya ever sought her out. She had wanted to hear all about what had come out of it. She had wanted a shoulder to cry on when her father was making hell on earth for her. She had wanted...... She swallowed the rest of her thoughts. It doesn't matter anymore. She would try to listen to her bestfriend, and possibly get to understand her. But she would only try. "What are you doing here?" Zendaya came closer. "I would ask the same of you." Mariana tried a painful smile. Her lips were painted in the exact colour of her dress. Zendaya scoffed, t

Suzzie's POV "Isabella?" Tyler interrupted. I breathed a sigh of relief when all eyes tear away from me and rested on Tyler. Isabella feigned a bright smile while she extricated her arm from Mrs Skyler's arm. "What are you doing here?" Tyler narrowed his brows. Isabella had high cheekbones when she smiled, and how hard her lips were curled upwards, it didn't seem to move Tyler. "My father is one of the lucky awardees. I had to come in place of him," she replied. "Really?" Tyler eyed his mother, from the corner of his eyes. "I had to string her along, Tyler. She wouldn't want to come here after all. It's been so long, and she's glad you're doing quite well." Mrs Skyler chipped. Tyler's gaze fell on me, "I suppose you've met Miss Suzzie Meyer," Tyler stretched one hand towards me as he smiled at me. I put my drink away as I took his hand, stepping forward with an exposed dentition. "I was just telling her who she was," Mrs Skyler scoffed, trying hard to wave off th

Suzzie's POV "Where was he taking me to?" He wouldn't let me in on that. He wheeled out afterwards while I walked by his side. "What's happening, where are you going?" His mother looked at Tyler with worried eyes when she noticed his change of clothes. "I'm taking Suzzie out," Tyler passed me his sweetest smile, and I smiled back. Wayne smirked, shaking his head. "There's enough time for that, bro. Why the hurry?" "Didn't you remind me of the Gala party taking place this evening?" Tyler's brow arched. "Oh, yeah, yeah." Wayne shot a smile. "But....," "No buts, Wayne. You people should stop treating me like I was almost at a death point." Tyler said. "But you almost died. We need to get you a new cook, she could have killed you," Mrs Skyler's eyes darted back at me. "Mother, will you stop with that nonsense? She had no idea that I had an allergy to nuts or whatever. You should stop blaming her for a mistake." Tyler warned. "A mistake that could have caused you you

Suzzie's POV Shouldn't I be pleased that something was finally happening to Tyler? He was close to death at my hands, and that would have made my father proud. But I had no idea what had caused his skin to turn blue, whilst he choked and convulsed? Tell me, he was not gonna die - atleast not yet. My hands clammed tightly as it jerked, wouldn't my identity be traced after this? Should I call for my father? Mrs Skyler walked towards me while Tyler was being attended to in one of the wards in Xytenarian's hospital. The hospital was a hospital owned by the mother of Tyler's ex girlfriend. Adrea had driven us straightway to the hospital and Tyler was being attended to. Mrs Skyler moved closer and struck my face with her hand. "I knew there was something about you, you despicable, farmer's girl," her eyes blazed. The words stung at me, and my cheek also stung from the hit. I held unto my cheek while my eyes blurred. Now, her full hatred was revealed to me. She had never lik

Suzzie's POV Dad was right, I was gradually clouded by emotions! How could I get stricken by the moment and let myself......my eyes stared down at my scarred hand. It reminded me of what I'd just touched, his.... please, let's not say the word. I thought his legs don't work, then why would his third leg come alive? But, it had really happened. Tyler had kissed me, and I had let him kiss me. And I had truly enjoyed it. "Suzzie, is something wrong?" Tyler repeated, pushing his feet off the bed. He managed to land his feet to the floor wincing in pain as he did that. Then he forced himself to his feet. My eyes bulged slightly, that was new. He was trying to make his legs move because of me. And just as if he was making progress, he pitched forward. My hands automatically stretched out to catch him but he sank back into the bed - landing on his butt. Silence. His eyes searched me, yet I still couldn't bring myself to comprehend what had just happened. "I'm sorry, T
