“ALIYAH MALVERN! PICK UP YOUR CALLS!” That was the text message that had just entered her phone. For a minute Aliyah stared at her phone wondering why her best friend would decide to text her a message all in caps locks.‘What’s up with Juliet?’ Aliyah muttered to herself before dropping the phone on the bed and decided to start dressing for school. Just as she passed by the ceiling to ground mirror, she paused, standing before it, her lips soon stretched into a big smile, remembering the night, before she bit her lower lip and moaning the name ‘Justin’ “Damn!I am such a bad girl.” She blushed. Closing her eyes to relive the moment from yesterday, ecstasy ran through her, she felt herself on cloud nine. Yesterday night was the night she had given up the most precious thing, her cherished prize, her virginity not to any man but to her one and only, the love of her life, Justin Alward. Yeah you read that right… Justin Alward, the next CEO of the Alward group, her boyfriend of thre
Aliyah could hear her heart break into a thousand pieces over and over again, she tried so hard to blink back her tears but they just blurred her vision and kept crawling down her face. She stared at her stepsister, Valerie, and her supposed comfort, her boyfriend, Justin as they both kissed passionately, his hands finding their way to Valerie's breasts and caressing it. Aliyah placed both hands over her mouth trying to suppress the scream that was threatening to burst out, she tried her hardest not to make a sound. “Justin,” Valerie moaned softly, she slightly broke the kiss, Justin pouted but still his hands are working on Valerie's breasts, “I have to go, I have to walk the runaway tomorrow and then school…. Ah..” She moaned again with a smile as he uses his fingers to press her nipples. Tears brimmed my eyes. With his mouth on one of her breasts, his hands slowly went south … Aliyah shut her eyes, no! she didn't want to see this. “Stop, Justin.” Valerie said, Aliyah could he
“1,2,3,4,5,6.” Aliyah counted the shots before her.She stared blankly at them, her vision blurred by tears. She desperately wished that everything was a dream. Her inheritance that was taken away from her, Justin's betrayal, she just wished they were untrue but … The memory of him and Valerie together, kissing, making out was seared into her brain like a branding iron.Aliyah wanted to scream, shout out her frustrations and sadness but her body and mind were too weak to carry out that action.Just as Aliyah was about to pick up a shot to start drowning her sorrows, her phone rang. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Justin's name on the caller ID. She hastily answered, hoping against hope that he had realized his mistake, that he loved her more, that he wanted to apologize and make things right.“Aliyah.” Damn, the way he calls her name, even the butterflies she feels each time let loose in her stomach.“Aliyah.” He called again “Are you there?”“Yes.” Her voice barely above a whis
‘I had sex with a stranger, a devilish handsome stranger.’ This morning Aliyah had woken up with a banging headache, the result of a hangover, she just had to force herself to class today though every scene with him was blurry but it was blissful and for that moment she forgot the betrayal from Justin. Justin. Remembering that name makes her heart constrict in pain, Aliyah shook her head, trying to forget all that had happened before. Entering into the class, the slamming of the door of the cubicle behind the class drew her attention, breaking her from her thoughts. She frowned as she saw that Juliet, her best friend, had been locked inside the small cubicle, Juliet kept slamming her fits against the cubicle and also signaling to Aliyah but the latter couldn't understand what Juliet was saying or trying to tell her. In Aliyah's confusion she asked “What is going -” Aliyah's question was cut short by her own voice “Justin! Ah! Spank me!” And following her yell, multiple sounds
“Clause 6.”Those words halted the billionaire, Romero Kingsley’s hovering pen, he raised his head from the documents before him and shot a piercing look at both the silvered haired men that sat beside him.“You can't sign the deal Ro-” One of the men, Jackson, paused, reminding himself who he was dealing with, he corrected his statement “I mean Mr Kingley.” Because even though he and his companion, Easton, were clearly older than Romero they dare not offend or disrespect him in any way.“Why?” Wilson, the billionaire's PA asked with a frown seated on his face, why were they stopping the approval of the deal after coming so far?With a deep breath,Mr Jackson replied “Clause 6 states otherwise.”Romero retracted his gaze and followed down to clause 6.“It states that an individual willing to join the Old Wealth must be responsible-”“Excuse me?!” Wilson exclaimed with shock, he stared at both the old men and then to his boss.. Were they planning to have their heads on a platter? How d
“No, I can't do this.” Aliyah refused, shaking her head as she pushed the documents away.She stared at the huge man seated before her, on his face was a bright smile that enhanced his handsomeness and devilish sexiness.She can't get married like this and definitely not to Romero Kingley! Wilson stepped forward, he fished out his phone and placed it before Aliyah then he clicked the play button. Aliyah watched in horror as she dragged her drunk self towards the room she had booked and instead of room 251, she had entered room 257, Romero's room, the video stopped and Aliyah felt like knocking herself hard on the head.“So technically, you were the one who went into Mr Kingley's room and now his reputation is on the line, because the camera had caught you and him coming out of the same room at intervals.” Wilson sighed.“His name is involved in a scandal, something that had never happened before, not until you came along.” Taking the remote, Wilson switched on the Tv and went to a n
“If not the slut, who else?” Valerie mocked just as the class ended, her minions who were seated beside her, laughed as they stared at Aliyah.Juliet who was seated beside Aliyah - rolled her eyes and hissed, Aliyah ignored Valerie’s remark and continued packing her books.Just as both Aliyah and Juliet were about to step out of the class, Valerie pulled Aliyah by her shirt, making the tag tear off.“What?! You've got to be kidding me!” One of Valerie's minions exclaimed as her eyes landed on the price tag that had torn from Aliyah's shirt and was laying on the floor.The other girl picked it up and gasped “This shirt is more expensive then your latest bag! Valerie!” She said looking with widened eyes from Valerie to the tag That exclamation got the attention of the class, everyone rushed to see whether that was true because how could Aliyah the illegitimate child wear a shirt more expensive than her rich stepsister' s latest bag?But they were left stunned seeing that it was true, s
Her heart had skipped.Definitely she was sure it did. Aliyah could swear that her heart skipped few minutes ago.Not once, not twice, her fucking heart skipped multiple times…First when his radiant brown eyes bored into hers..Then when he had pulled her against himself and hugged her..And when his lips had pressed softly on her forehead..And then her mind wondered how his lips would taste again…‘Damn! Aliyah control yourself’ She mentally scolded, her eyes rested on the shirt she had on and then to the shiny object on her finger.How was it possible that she was putting on billions and billions of dollars on her tiny ring finger? She never once dreamt of that. Never.Ever since her father died, she had always wore Valerie's used clothes or cheap clothes bought for her by her step mother who constantly reminded her of her illegitimacy.“Are you uncomfortable?” Romero asked breaking her line of thoughts as he glanced at her.“Huh?” She answered, confusion skating her eyes as she
“Hospital?” Aliyah asked as she looked from the big building before them to the man seated beside her, who wore a blank expression.Romero didn't respond.Aliyah had been more than worried since the drive because the billionaire had said nothing to her since he had carried her into the car, she knew he was upset with her.“Sir, I am okay.” She said, trying to sound cheerful, “It was just slaps, I can't possibly get sick from slaps and a little crying.” Still he said nothing, he came down from the car and soon her door opened, he carried her in bridal style again and walked into the hospital, she saw as nurses and doctors hurried towards him showing him to a ward.Getting into the ward, Aliyah marveled at the beauty of the ward, it looked very comfortable just as a room in a house, he placed her gently on the bed and sat beside her.Romero turned to the two doctors and two nurses behind him, “Take care of her and her hand too, the right one.”Aliyah snapped up her head, “I..I…” She st
Immediately Juliet saw the circulating videos of Aliyah being bullied, she had hurriedly packed her bags and books and sprinted out, running towards where the hostels were located on campus.“Oh no, Heavens please save Aliyah!” She exclaimed as emotions overcame her.Juliet's eyes watered as she thought ‘For how long will my best friend suffer this bully?’The younger lady had always wished Sir Albert, Aliyah's father was still alive, if he was, she was sure Aliyah wouldn't suffer all these bullyings.As soon as Juliet got to Aliyah's block, she increased her speed, running as if her feet were on hot coals.Seeing the room ahead she began screaming on top of her voice, “Leave Aliyah alone! You wicked souls! She didn't steal the necklace! I am calling the school security now!”She kept screaming hard and louder each time until she got to the door and then she halted abruptly almost falling face down but she was held and steadied by one strong muscular hand.Juliet stared at the not so
Aliyah frowned as she sat up “Excuse me!?” Yes, they didn't like her but never would she allow them to call her names.“Will you shut up your mouth!” Her second roommate, Lily, exclaimed as she angrily yanked Aliyah up to her feet, taking the latter by surprise.Lily turned to Donna, the third of them and instructed “Everyone must hear of the supposed billionaire's wife who stole Benita's necklace.”“Excuse-” Before Aliyah could utter a word in her defense, Donna had gone out the door and even before a minute could pass their room was flooded.“Look, look” Benita said as she pointed everyone's attention to Aliyah's wardrobe where the necklace had been unwrapped from a cloth “I have avoided this bitch because I know she is trouble but she fucking went ahead to steal my necklace.”“A supposed necklace that is below her status.” Donna hissed, eyeing Aliyah down in disgust.Aliyah was confused and shocked, seeing that people had their phones out she tried to hide her face.Harsh comment
“Hello.” Aliyah greeted cheerfully as she entered her new shared apartment, as usual her three other roommates whom she knew had heard her didn't respond, completely ignoring her.When Aliyah newly moved in, she had thought the cold shoulders wouldn't last long but it now seems so, her new roommates seem not to like her.Aliyah moved to her bed space, laid on it, she gave a satisfying sigh as her body seemed to relax and soon the tiredness of the day began wearing off.A smile soon pulled up her lips as she flashed back to earlier this morning.**For a while, Aliyah stared at the packaged ornament before her, just the packaging screamed expensive, she sure knew the ornament would be very beautiful, taking it, she unwrapped it and then gasped.“Wow!” She exclaimed lifting the waist chain and hip chains up, her lips pulled into a very big smile “So beautiful.”Leaving the gala yesterday, her husband… Aliyah blushed at the recall of the sweet moments they had during the gala and after
Georgina Alward was more than upset, she was livid about her older brother’s display of unprofessionalism and she was definitely not taking it!She slammed the conference door closed, startling everyone who were still confused about earlier.Her heels made rapid furious noises as she stormed towards Romero's office, ready to fling the door open and express her fury when someone had her hand.She turned to see her husband who pulled her closer to himself.“Calm down dear,” James said calmly, holding his wife's hands, he could literally see the anger in his wife's eyes and he understood but this was Romero Kingsley.Georgina cords snapped “How the fuck can you tell me to calm down after what just happened?!”“I-”“If you don't know, we just lost a lot of money, our efforts and hardwork as just fucking went down the drain!” She yelled, throwing her hands up in the air, an expression she does whenever she is angry.James sighed.“I know,” He answered, “But you know your brother, you know
“Justin,” Hardin called as the three of them entered the conference hall.Hardin sat across both his friends, Justin and Alex “don't you think you went too far with Aliyah at the gala?" He asked, his brows furrowed in disapproval as he stared at Justin.Justin rolled his eyes, a smile pulled up his face, a very sarcastic smile "Dude, you've been about this since the gala. Or…” he paused “ is it that you covet my leftovers?" He winked, his words dropping with amusement which made Hardin angrier than he was.Hardin's face darkened all the more… was his friend really right in the head?"You're missing the point,” Hardin started, trying as much as possible not to lash out at his obviously stupid friend “Aliyah belongs to someone else,” he looks around to make sure no one was around but them “Your uncle, to be precise – her husband."Alex breaks his silence with a snort making Hardin eye him down "Sounds like, you like Aliyah, Hardin.” Alex smirked and then wiggles his brows making Justin
“My love, may I?” Romero asked as he stretched his hand in request for a dance.My love! Aliyah exclaimed inwardly, the butterflies in her stomach celebrated … the way the endearment rolled off his tongue had her blushing.Noticing her shy blush, Romero smiled, he sure does love it when she blushes at his words.With a nod she said “Yes.”Holding her hand and placing the other one on her waist, Romero then slightly pressed her against himself… he could feel the softness of her breast against his chest which was just protected with his white shirt…. Damn!.They started moving slowly to the music in silence.“So,” Aliyah started “How have you been? How is work and home? Hope you have been eating and resting.” She asked, looking up at him.Romero was just going to answer her how he would have answered any other person but the care that shone from that blue ocean orbs that he has come to love made him say otherwise.“Work's good,” She nodded to his reply “but,” Romero sighed “The mansion
“What the hell is going on here!” Georgina Kingsley who was the first to react amidst others - shouted, her furrowed frown explained her displeasure. The female billionaire who had disengaged from her husband marched towards Justin who held both his burning cheeks and Aliyah whose eyes blazed with fierce fury. Seeing her son's pained expression, she turned to Aliyah “How dare you-” She swallowed the reminding of her words as she seemed to suddenly remember who was standing before her. Standing before her wasn't just Aliyah or Aliyah Malvern but it was her younger sister in law, Aliyah Romero Kingsley, her elder brother's wife. “Teach your son manners and morals.” Aliyah said sternly before hissing loudly and walking away, Georgina was taken aback… did this little brat just warn her as if she was five! Seeing the ruthless billionaire Romero Kingsley race after his younger wife made everyone shut their mouths
“He will never love you. Very soon your worthless remains would be tossed away just like your whorish mother.”Those words echoed silently in her head making her clench her fists all the more, in no time her eyes became teary, she quickly blinked back those tears.“Just the same way my father never loved you right.” Aliyah turned to Madam Priscilla whose hands froze under the running water.With a deep frown Madam Priscilla turned to Aliyah and bellowed “Excuse me?!”Aliyah chuckled as she folded her arms “You are excused.” She gave her stepmother a disgusting glance over “If I remember correctly, I am my father's first daughter, the child of the woman he loved, not the one he was forced to marry.”Shock washed over Madam Priscilla … How did she know? No one knew her family had coerced Albert into marrying her.“I wasn't a product of a dirty affair as you make people believe,” Aliyah paused as she shook her head.One of those days, while going through her parents stuffs she saw letter
