FLOWERS OR DOLLARS

Chapter 2“Shit!" The man who had fumed towards me exclaimed.“You caused this Scorp, how are we going to get out of here?"We all heard the sound of another vehicle breezing into the estate. I looked on, still holding my blanket tightly. ‘Did my father come with one of his business associate? Perhaps his closest friend John Fidell, who most times walked around with his armed body guards?'My heart began to thump, maybe this rapist and his cohorts would be caught and brought to justice. I felt a little excited, but then I remembered we were all in the second floor. It will take some minutes for my father and his friend to get to where I am and even if they got in, my father might not come to me. It was already very late and he must assume I would be fast asleep.The three men seemed very confused.“If you hadn't f*cked her we would have been long gone""Thump!" The man who defiled me punched him on the tooth, it fell and blood trickled on the white blanket I was still clasping. I beg

Chapter 4The Fidell's estate was located at South Esturnburg, a short distance from ours. I was marvelled at the vast expanse of their semi detached duplex when my dad and I drove in. The exterior was decorated with tulips, the lavender and purple hibiscus. A beautiful sight to behold.A middle - aged woman welcomed me in after I had knocked a few seconds. She was John Fidell's wife, Fiona Fidell, a beautiful gap toothed woman who stood a few inches taller than me. She was very jovial and accommodating and had introduced herself after opening the entrance door. A sign that my father had informed them about my arrival, a day earlier.“Welcome! Welcome! Come in child" She said with a broad smile, kissing my cheeks.I partly curtsied, accepting the offer.I sensed a strong scent of air freshener the moment I walked in. Right there, in the middle of their luxurious sitting room, a girl of about sixteen years old stood, arms crossed. She had a stark resemblance with Fiona, the only diffe

Chapter 6Maurice's POVI tried to hide my excitement, as I sat waiting for the love of my life. ‘How would I break the good news to her?' I cleared my throat while adjusting my tie, practicing the best way I would reveal I had found a new job to Natalie.The message for my job contract came in a week after my mom left for a business meeting in Norway, she was chosen to go along with the boss of the company where she worked.I could feel my hands shaking nervously no matter how hard I tried to conceal it. In the aired lounge, I felt sweat trickling down my biceps. I still wondered if the news of getting a job as a sales representative would make Natalie elated.While reading the contract text from Salesrite Company for the twentieth time, I tried to figure out what was enthralling about tuxedos that made people wear them. Still in great discomfort because of my attire, I studied the finishings and splendid beauty of the Five Star Restaurant I booked.After the first date with Natalie,

The reveal that John Fidell's son was Kevin Fawcett all this while, heightened my feelings for him. ‘Who wouldn't fall all over again for a guy she once loved? Her first love?'This was same for Kevin, as he stole glances at me at any given opportunity. Mr. Fidell was still working on his plan for Kevin to join in his company, Letticia attended College from home, she was in her last year.Lizzie left home for school in the mornings and Mrs. Fidell was too busy in her jewelry store. Still awaiting my father's return, I remained at the Fidell's estate and soon, Kevin and I was all alone at home. The first day was unplanned. Kevin was drawing once again in the living room, the art of a large teary blue eye. I stood behind him, admiring his skill and craft. “What happened after high school? It's been four whole years Nat" He asked.I narrated all that happened, I had gone ahead to study Public Relations within those four years after I was done with High School at 15. It wasn't same for

Kevin's POVI couldn't get the last experience with Natalie off my head. Seeing her face the in the estate after the event, brought everything fresh in mind. ‘How could I forget the lushness of her coochie, the musical way she moaned and the seductive manner in which she rolled her eyes?'I wanted more than that, a mind blowing, unforgettable experience!. When she spoke to Letticia, I imagined her voice moaning in my head. I stole lustful glances at her anytime she walk past me, pretending nothing as exciting as that had ever happened between us. I do not know the best way to describe what I felt for Natalie. ‘Was it infatuation? Lust? or true love?' That, I couldn't discern. All I knew was Natalie made me have wild unimaginable thoughts, one which I have never felt for any woman, so strong that I lose my control each time I caught the sight of her. On this particular evening, I stood at the balcony closest to Natalie's room, desperately yearning to feed my eyes with her ethereal be
