"Well that's good" Daniel said seeing that she had signed the contract
"I'll get someone to send the money to you right now" he said as he left the officeWell that was fast Lola thought.She sat in the office going through her i*******m account. She was just laughing at a meme when two notifications came in simultaneously. The first one was a bank alert. She opened it and saw that the loan of 155,000 had just entered. She was so happy and forgot to open the second notification. Just as she was confirming the balance the door to the office opened and Daniel walked in."They said the money has been transferred""Yes thank you I just received the alert" Lola said"Would you like to go back to the villa now" Daniel asked"Yeah . . . Sure I'll be on my way now thanks once more" Lola said while turning around to leave"Hey wait!" Daniel said causing Lola to turn around"Do you want to put me into trouble the young master clearly told me to send you back to the villa what will I say if something happens to you" Daniel asked"I'm not a child to get lost" Lola said secretly wondering why the young master cared about how she reached the villa. He probably didn't want her having the chance to go anywhere."That does not matter let's go I'll take you to the villa" Daniel saidThey both left the office when they reached the front desk Lola said goodbye to Lily. They had already started following each other on i*******m and exchanged numbers. They both went to the parking lot and got into Daniel's car.As they drove through the streets an advert caught Lola's eyeLetting out a dry cough Lola said"I'd like to go to Andrey's house he is leaving tomorrow so will you drive me there or should I stop here""I'll drive you" Daniel said letting out a tired sigh."Hey you can't blame me you are the one who said you didn't want to stay in that office any ways""The address" he asked"The blue crown apartment" Lola saidWhen they reached their destination Daniel parked the car in the parking lot. Lola got down and Daniel attempted to follow her but she said"Don't bother no need for you to follow me around you are not my bodyguard. And besides it's not like I'm going to run away. I'm not going to be as unreasonable as to put you in trouble. Besides the young master won't know.""Fine I'll wait for you here in the car" Daniel saidLola took the lift to the 10th floor where Audrey lived. She had just cornered and was two doors away from his door when it was opened and a woman was pushed out she lost her balance and fell on the floor. Audrey came out and scowled Before saying"Stay away from me from now on"Lola who saw the scene frowned. Why would he do that. Audrey was not the kind of person to act so rashly though so what happened she thought."Audrey "she called out her look questioning his actionsAudrey abruptly turned his head to see Lola standing some few metres away from his door."Lola" he mumbled with his face filled with shock.The woman who was sprawled on the floor saw her and thought she was a love rival.She could see the look in Audrey's eyes. She immediately stood up and rushed towards Lola intended to slap her face. She hadn't even lowered her hand half way when it was caught mid airShe stared at Lola her eyes wide open in shock. She tried moving a hand but lola's grip was too tight even Audrey was shocked he had only thought her some defence moves how could she be this strong and Carla the woman she was holding wasn't a pushover either."B**** how dare you hold my hand do you want to die" Carla lashed out"I should be asking you that and besides only a fool will stand and watch you attack without giving any reaction. By the way watch who you call a B**** old lady""You dare to call me old" She said. Pointing her finger at Lola's nose."That's not the point. The point is i have dared to do it. What do you plan to do to me?" Lola said. With her arms crossed on her chest."You.... you" She kept on stammering.Lola snarled and said. " I would have broken this ugly crooked finger of yours. That you're using to point at me, but I'm afraid of being contaminated."The woman became quiet."Why did you suddenly become speechless?" Lola taunted and scuffed"Whoever you are, I'm the woman Audrey loves so stay away" Carla said proudly."Bah. Even if you were the last woman on Earth And the most beautiful woman on earth Audrey still won't love you."Besides I'm the only one he loves right Audrey" Lola said looking at Audrey she wasn't afraid or spoiling things for him from his actions earlier he didn't seem to care about her she looks more like an enemy to her an Audrey enemy was her enemy"Yes my baby girl I love you only"Andrew said patting her head as if smoothing down the fur of a little angry catNow this was Lola he knew she always spoke with such a vicious tongue."And oh I'm not done with you do you want to know the reason why Andrew dislikes you" Lola said when she saw Carla was about to leave it's had been long since she lashed at someone this way why not utilise it properlyCarla paused Lola smiled satisfactory " that is because you are like you bug a big old slimy one at that even if you were cleaned up and dressed up you still can't change the fact that you are a bug which Andrey dislikes" Lola said then she took Andrey's arm to lead him back to his apartment.They had not taken up to two steps forward when Carla rushed up madly grabbed Lola by her hair and hit her hard on her face. Lola's eyes turned red from the pain in her scalp and face. She turned around and rammed her elbow in Carla's face the pain made her release her grip on Lola's hairLola didn't wait for her to recover she directly hit her once more. Carla lost her balance and fell to the floor.Audrey who had just recovered from the shock pulled Lola away and held her in his arms."Audrey my face hurts " Lola said as though she was about to burst into tears."I'm sorry baby girl let's go in" Andrey said blowing air on her face gently "Carla I hope you understand that what we had was a one time thing. I stated it from the beginning and you were okay with it. I may have ignored you hovering around me but it has to stop"Andrey only followed behind when they entered his apartment he brought an ice pack for her. Lola put it on her face then walked to the fridge. She took out two bottles of soda."Let's go to the balcony" Audrey said as she walked to the balcony while Andrey followed. They both sat on the bean bag chair in the balcony while Lola handed him a bottle of soda.Hayden stood the twins beside him. They were already 12 years old and today on their birthday they had asked to see their mom as a birthday present instead. At first he had thought against it but it was high time he stopped lying to them about her whereabouts. Hayden stared around the field of different flowers before landing his gaze on the grave. He explained to them the things they needed to know. He held Shayna as she sobbed. Shayne ran back to the car not Waiting for anything. After directing Daniel to take them to Selena he sat beside the grave."Hi... I finally brought the kids thought it was time they knew their mom.... I miss you." Hayden didn't say any thing more. He didn't know what to say. He always never knew what to say when he visited. He could never get it out of his mind that she died so young because of him. Selena and her mom never said anything but he knew they blamed him and they had every right to.He instead devoted all his time to taking care of his childre
The ball room was buzzing with discussion being thrown around. It was Hayden and Lola's engagement dinner only family was invited. Lola had reconciled both families and though 50% of both families wealth were shared equally between her and Selena they planned on keeping the shares. Selena was already being taught by a private tutor on buisness management and other things that involved managing her shares with Andrey helping her. Lola's training would start after she had given birth and was strong enough, Hayden's immediate family and aunt Bella’s family with his grandfather. Lola's immediate family, her maternal and paternal grandmother, Jacob, his sister and mother. Andrey, Felix and their parents. Jane and her parents. And Valerio, his grandfather, his mother, and her sister and husband. They were all seated around. Hayden stood up to give his toast. "Thank you all for being present. Everyone seated at this table is family. I want us all to toast to this beautiful woman seated
Hayden talked to the captain of the medium sized ship they were after confirming the information he needed he went back to the deck. Chris was leaned against the rail throwing up. "Pussy" Hayden taunted before moving to leave. "What did you say" Chris asked after heaving for a while. "Just that you are a fucking weak boy" Hayden said stepping closer his entire body itching for someone to beat up."Ok cut it out boys I get it momma's not around so everyone wants to flex muscles but y'all hold on till we actually save her we can always find a boxing ring for you both to spar" Felix said stepping between both men Hayden huffed walking away while Chris leaned against the railibg once more vomiting what was left in his stomach. "Isn't it ironic that you own a lot of sea boats but you are sea sick" Jane said feeling free to talk to who ever she pleased as Valerio wasn't present. "Didn't know you spoke anymore" Felix replied handing Chris a bottle of water. "What do you mean?" Jane
"Diego please, I really need to pee" Lola cried for the umpteenth time not sure Diego could even hear her she had been in the room for no less than 12 hours without any food or water buy at the moment her need to pee superceded her need for food and her dry throat which she had tried over and over to moisturise with her saliva. "I'm sorry I really am. Please come remove this cuff I really need to go now. Please..." She couldn't call out loud enough trying to save her energy cause who knew when Diego would allow her eat.The door opened just then and Diego stood there without saying a word he released her from the cuffs. Lola quietly made her way to the toilet with tired feet. ***** 2am that morning..... The door opened quietly Lola jolted when she felt someone tap her awake from her sleep. Expecting to see Diego she was surprised that instead it was someone else she couldn't see but she was sure she knew that voice. Diego had finally listened to her pleas to remove the cuffs so sh
Lola threw the phone at the shower wall with all her might smashing it as water from the shower head fell down on it. Diego tried to save his phone but it was entirely impossible. "I told you not to fucking test me" Diego said landing a slap against her cheeks. Lola gasped spitting out blood using her tongue to feel her tooth which was loose as a result of the impact from his ring. "I didn't do anything wrong" Lola replied her tears threatening to fall. "You didn't do anything wrong!!! Then how do you explain my smashed phone under the shower." "I just wanted to call my sister to let her know I'm alive and I love her" Lola quickly explained her self even though she knew it was pointless. "And why would you do that. Do you know how much effort I put into faking your death." "You know what you've been a real bitch lately and it seems it's because I keep tolerating. It's time I show you what you are looking for" with this Diego stopped screaming and pulled her out of the bathroom.
Lola walked around the mansion not sure what she was even looking for the last thing on her mind was escaping. The only time she tried to escape Diego had taken her on a ride she watched the people on the streets who carried one weapon on the other some trading on different things she was sure wasn't legal. They came to the end of the ride and Lola looked at the large expansion of waters realizing they were on an island. "Don't ever think about escaping again" she remembered that was all he said to her. Escaping was out of the question she would be caught before she left the mansion grounds. And even if she passed the mansion grounds. The streets wasn't a bit safe and there was no way she could leave this Island on her own she didn't even know what country this island was located nearest to. The only escape was of she could sneak on a ship or yacht that had come once to the island. She had binoculars in her room the used to spy on the outside world. At least she learnt something in
