A years later

Chloe alighted from a car and bid farewell to her mother , Crystal who just happened to drop her off on campus.

Wearing a smile on her face, Chloe ran into the main school building. As she stepped into the vast corridor she spotted two of her friends scrolling on their phone.

Her lips raised the more. She hastened her steps towards her friend.

As she walked closer to her friends, she sensed as if someone was staring at her. Chloe raised her head and looked around only to see almost everyone looking at her. Even as she walked, it seemed as if everyone was avoiding her.

Their glares were enough to make holes on her body, yet she decided to ignore them.

"Hi Natalie" Chloe waved her hand in the air as she approached her friends.

Natalie looked at Chloe from head to toes and chuckled. She did not bother to respond to her.

"Vickie, let's go," Natalie said, holding Vickie's hand.

"Wait for me" Chloe holds Vickie's other hand.

Like a snake ready to charge, Vickie turned and

  • Bitter Sweet Love   Haunted By The Past

    11 YEARS LATERFrankfurt,GermanyThe room was quiet except from the sound of air being drawn in and out of Tranny's nose. Light slipped through the gap in the curtains making him blink awake.He lay still on his king size bed for a moment, his eyes on the ceiling. Few seconds later, a soft, long sigh escaped his lips.He rolled over and sat up straight stretching and yawning as lays of the sun hit his bare broad chest and reached his phone with the other.The phone was beside him. He tapped the screen."Fuc*" he cursed, throwing the phone back on the bed.It was 6:30 am.Barefooted, he stepped out of the bed with only his undies leaving his robe hanging on a chair untouched.He walked to the window and pulled the curtain open.The skyline of Frankfurt greeted him. Far below, tiny people and cars moved along narrow roads between towering buildings.From one of the buildings, a massive billboard flashed his face—sharp jawline, dark eyes, and a warm smile that could raise the dead, hai

  • Bitter Sweet Love   A Longing Heart

    The sound of the wave was calm accompanied by the cool soothing breeze, a few birds flew and chirped across the lake it was almost 4pm and the sun was already drawing to the South casting a golden hue over the horizon. Mervin rested his back on his car, his eyes rocked on Crystal who was standing beside him, eyes fixed to the ground.At a far distance, the only presence was their bodyguards who stood watchful.It's just 30 minutes since they left the airport but it somehow seemed like a few seconds ago. The only sound as they made their way to the lake was Mervin's voice arguing over the phone with his parents over his behavior at the airport which they had branded as reckless. It took him at least 15 minutes to absorb his parents' fury and shouting before he'd convinced them that he wasn't risking the company, rather losing Crystal was the threat."Crystal," he called softly, holding her hand.Crystal couldn't speak, she took a deep breath, her shoulder rising slowly then falling.

    Meanwhile, Miranda was on her way to a photoshoot. She yawned for the tenth time and straightened up. She looked around and sighed for the hundredths time. She reached for her bag and picked out her phone. Her eyes flicked over the phone as her fingers swiped lazily, scrolling through the endless updates.Her eyes suddenly caught something.BILLIONAIRE IN DISTRESS.Reading the title of the update, she paused. Her car suddenly passed on a porthole making her tap on the video unintentionallyShe sighed again and lifted her finger to press the back button, but her finger froze when Mervin's face popped on her screen, his face pale and lips slightly parted and trembling , his voice was like a broken record that it was hard for her to understand what he was saying.Her face turned red immediately and a smirk appeared on her face and she scoffed. "Damn it," she muttered under her breath as her stomach twisted.She was frustrated.She scoffed again, flinging the phone to the seat beside h

  • Bitter Sweet Love   Don't Leave Me , Crystal

    Crystal walked out of the cafe after a thirty minutes cry in the restroom. By then, Mrs Brooklyn had long left. She stood at the entrance, her eyes scanning the street as she waited for her driver.She hadn't used bodyguards in a long time. She feared for their life and after Miss Betty left the mansion, she could no longer trust anyone.It was one of the guards that revealed where she lived to Miranda and at many occasions, the same bodyguards have sold information about her to the Griffins.And by the way, she had nothing to lose now."Look who we have here," a familiar voice rang in her ear.'What a day' Crystal thought as she took a deep breath.She pulled out her phone and dialed her driver’s number again.“Hello, what…"A hand snatched the phone from her ear. Crystal turned to face him, Teddy, he stood just a foot away.“Teddy, what more do you want from me?” she asked, her voice calm, but her eyes sharp.He licked his lower lip, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.“Yo

  • Bitter Sweet Love   Disappear From Mervin's Sight

    Crystal slowly walked into the cafe. At every step she took, her legs felt heavy to carry her feet. Her body felt heavy to he carried by her tiny legs. At a moment she wished she could just turn back and go home, but she didn't want to behave like a coward."If I turn back now," she thought, "I’ll just be dragged into the mess when Mervin’s not looking. I can’t let that happen."She took a deep breath then pushed forwards..Earlier that morning, Mervin had left for work, and a few hours ago, she received a call from Mrs. Brooklyn. Her mother-in-law had asked to meet her at the café at 2 p.m., "Don't tell my son" her words were clear.Crystal knew this meeting should be unpleasant, but she couldn't refuse. She was her daughter in-law after all.Taking the stairs to the second floor, Crystal spotted Mrs. Brooklyn at the table by the window. The woman’s face was buried in her laptop, a glass of juice resting untouched by her side.Crystal stood frozen for a moment. Memories of when she

    Crystal yanked her hand from Mervin. She pressed one hand in her waist and put the other hand on her head, running her fingers in her hair."Seriously? Mervin, why are you doing this to me?" She spat."I can't even get pregnant anymore. My uterus was removed" Her voice was cracked.Mervin's chest rises and falls. He was frustrated. 'You have to choose between the mother and the baby' The words the doctor said to him a few years ago became fresh.He looked at Crystal then he swallowed hard. His eyes were bitters but he blinked rapidly, forcing himself not to cry. It was a miracle that Crystal was alive.Yes, she had played a dirty game on him by hiding the fact that their daughter survived, but one or both could have lost their lives back then."Then what?" He muttered.He learned against the wall,"Why can't we just keep living as we have been? Did I love you so you could be a baby factory?" His words cut through the silence.Crystal shaggers her shoulder. She shook her head in disb

Outside the entrance, all types of designed cars pulled out then zoomed off. The airport was filled with deafening noise.Few moments later, a Rolls Royce and a black jeep come to a halt.Four men in black suits alighted from the jeep, two spread out and one walked to the Rolls Royce and opened the passenger's seat while the other man stood guard as Tranny and his parents alighted from the car.A faint sigh escaped Tranny partly parted lips and his eyes roamed around the surroundings. His eyes had lost the spark and he looked a bit thinner.From their house to Harry Reid International airport was a 30 minutes drive but Tranny looked exhausted as if he had been in the car for 30 days.Only two days had passed since he accepted to go to Germany and his parents had done everything possible to secure him a plane to his des

  • Bitter Sweet Love   Bitter Decision

    The sun had just risen, casting a soft glow across the street. Outside the small restaurant, cars passed by and a few were parked outside. Birds chirped in the distance filling the silence.Inside the restaurant, the Private dining room specifically, Bryan sat with his hands resting on the table. He looked at the huge clock on the wall and a slight sigh escaped his lips.It's been an hour since he arrived. He had agreed to meet Miranda at 7am, but she was not yet here.'I hope she isn't planning to make a fool out of me' He wondered.Of course there is a high chance she might not come. Bryan shook his head.'No, of course she will come, because of those papers' he thought to himself.Just yesterday, he had sent court papers to Miranda concerning the custody of Mirade. He wished to be in his daughter's life, but since Miranda was being stubborn, he decided to get his rights through the court.The door to the room opened exposing a slim figure, Miranda.
