" Finally, some vengeance for mom," Xara muttered under her breath as she saw the news that her dad had been murdered by one of his inmates. She had never been able to let go of the hatred she had for him in her heart. Yes, her mom may not have been the best person on earth, but it was his fault. It was that man she called her father who changed her into the bitter person she was. But when she realized it wasn't worth it, he killed her. " Hey, ange---" Kai turned off the television set and sat closer to his wife, hugging her. "How do you feel?" he asked. " Honestly, is it bad that I feel no emotion? Actually, I'm relieved that he's dead. He wasn't the best father to me or the best husband to my mom. He deserves this and more." Xara said. " No, it doesn't. He made you feel this way towards him, but it's your choice to forgive him and rid yourself of this hatred and bitterness." Kai advised. " Thanks, baby," she smiled. " You are welcome, love. I gotta go get ready for a meeting. C
Ida and Mr. A hadn't really talked much after their date, but she was getting calls from a strange number claiming to be him. He sounded nothing like Adrian, so she decided not to answer his calls again. But the surprising thing was that he sounded more like the man she went out on a date with. What could be going on? She couldn't help but wonder: Instead, she was getting closer to Elon. He came around often and invited her to lunch most of the time. She was glad Elon was coming around, but why was it at the time she was beginning to like someone else? Why was he now noticing her after all those years? Her phone rang, snapping her out of her trance. “ Hi,” she answered, not looking at the caller ID. “Hey, love.” Mr. A spoke up. “ Hi, how are you?” she perked. “ I'm good, sweetheart; it's just that I miss you,” he confessed through the phone. “ And I've missed you too, babe; what's been going on? It's been a while since I last heard from you.” “ Yeah, I've been busy with wo
" Ah, I see you've done real good for yourself," Daniel said, bumping into Zac at the gym. He looked different from how he used to be. More stylish and more built. He seemed to be living the good life. " Yeah, I signed up at this sugar baby agency and got lucky with a rich sugar mummy. She's sexy, and she looks way younger than she claims to be. Bruh, I'm living the life," he bragged. " Good for you; at least you didn't end up with a broken heart." Daniel hinted. " Don't tell me she's still crying over spilled milk. She left me anyways," he shrugged unperturbed. " No doubt, but she loved you dearly, and you hurt her, which left her no other choice." Daniel defended. " Man, if you love her that badly, then go for her. You two would make a great couple." " I don't double date; I'm not you, Zac," he scolded. “ Whatever, Aly would get over this soon, so don't bother much about her. She got this," he chuckled. “ Good for you; anyway, I wish you all the best with your newfound love
A slap sounded across the cafeteria as everyone gasped, and Nova let out a shrill cry. " What's going on?" Jax rushed to the scene as soon as he spotted his sister. " Jax, she slapped me," she held onto him. "Bitch, get off my man before I bitch slap you," Brynn said, prying Nova off of Jax. " What happened, Giada?" she asked her best friend. " The bitch called me a wannabe model and poured a cup of juice all over my outfit, messing up my hair and clothes. She deserved that slap and more." Giada fumed. " She what?" Brynn screeched, ready to attack her, when Jax stopped her. " She's not worth it, and everyone get out. There's nothing to see here; showtime is over," Jax yelled as everyone went about their business. Nova stormed off angrily after the embarrassment, yelling about what and how she was going to get revenge on all of them and whatnot. " Do you have spare clothes in your locker or the car?" Brynn asked her friend. " In the car," she said walking out to get fresh clot
" Hey K---, oh, I'm sorry, I'd come back another time." She shut the door, running to Brynn's room. He wasn't her boyfriend, but seeing him with another woman hurt so bad. Couldn't he see that she liked him? Or he didn't feel the same way towards her? " Babe, isn't he in his room?" Brynn asked her friend as she shut the door to her bedroom. " He's kind of busy with some random hoe," she said bitterly, sitting on her friend's bed. " Sorry, I guess love isn't made for some people," she said, passing a snide comment at her. Brynn had been acting up lately, and she didn't know why. Could she have been behind Nova's attack? No, Brynn could never do that to her. But what if she did? What did she do to deserve such a thing from her? "Umm-I-umm, I gotta go. I have something to do with Jax. See you later." She bid picking up her phone and heading to the door. " Can I j--- " No, no, you can't join. It's our time. You can either see him tomorrow after school or some other time." Giada
" Elon!? Get your behind down here and help me make breakfast!" Aly yelled as Giada burst into laughter. When Jax left for Sean's place, Aly came home to pick up Giada since she was alone, and they decided to stay a few days at Elon's after packing their bags. " Why should I ?" he replied in the same tone she used as Ida walked through the door holding a huge breakfast basket, which was more than enough for the four of them. " Never mind, Ida brought us breakfast," she said, cleaning up the mess they had made in the kitchen in the name of preparing breakfast. " Did you just say Ida's here?" He descended the staircase two steps at a time. " In flesh and blood," she winked at Aly as Elon neared her. He hugged her tight since it had been a while since he last saw her. She had travelled on a business trip for the past month. " The food would get cold, and I'm starving. Can we eat now?" Giada asked after a while as they all headed to the dining table. The food was at the centre of the
Giada had been ignoring Brynn like a plague after the incident at her house. All this while, she thought she was her best friend, but she was rather the devil in disguise. What wrong had she ever done to her? She had only shown her love and kindness, nothing less. It wasn't her fault; she was better at modelling than Brynn could ever be. " Hi," a girl said, sitting beside Giada during lunch. She seemed familiar, but she couldn't place where she had seen the girl before. She was brown-skinned, not too tall, and had the deepest dimples she had ever seen. The girl was absolutely gorgeous. " Hi, I'm Giada, and what's your name?" She spoke up after a while. " I'm Ayanda Chibaana, a South African. I just got transferred here," she answered. " Sorry for asking, but have you by any chance been on a runway, a shoot, or on TV because it feels like I have seen you somewhere?" Giada admitted. " Yes, I have been in some ads on TV," she confessed, being surprised at how Giada was able to make
"You're the one who's doing the most, girl." Aly got Ida excited when she walked into her office. She was relieved that Ida and Elon had grown closer and were spending more time together. At least there's hope they're going to be together someday. "How come? What happened?" She pretended to be unconcerned about her friend's outburst. " I know you two had a fancy date yesterday, acting all lovey-dovey." Aly winked, gently removing the wine glass from Ida's grasp and sipping it while sitting down. "You know we've been going on dates a lot, so what makes you think yesterday's was any different?" She smiled at her friend, unable to hide her happiness. " Because of this one, you can't seem to hide your happiness. There's a glow to your skin. Some undefined happiness. Should I go on and on?" Aly questioned her friend. " Fine, fine. Yesterday's was quite different from the rest. It was the best I've been to. I admitted. you happy now?" she replied. " Yes, yes, I am. I'm glad you're hav
