Kristen sat down with her legs on the table and cigarettes at the corner of her lips. A bottle of champagne was on her right hand with her eyes closed and smoke puffing out from her nostril. She had been smoking and drinking for a while yet she didn't get drunk or even get tired of smoking. It's something her system was used to.
It's been over an hour since she arrived at the bar, sitting by herself was all she wanted for the evening.
Men had approached her severally but she turned every one of them down.
Her purpose of coming out tonight was to get some good sex but getting to the bar, she had a change of mind. Drinking and smoking was the only thing she could do to take her mind off the aching between her legs.
She was sitting at the farthest end of the bar off the main clubhouse where it was hard to tell what she looked like. The dim light was not doing justice to her pretty face. She was not alone, people who came for different purposes were seen doing one thing or the other. Some were with partners and some were alone like Kristen herself.
She inhaled the smoke into her lungs and slowly opened her eyes.
The night was fast approaching and soon enough the clubhouse would be filled up. It was Friday night and it was expected to be so in Little Castle.
Little Castle had to be one of the prestigious clubhouses in town. Despite being owned by one of the richest billionaires in Town, anyone was allowed to be there no matter their class and that's why Kristen could be there because she is from the average family in Town.
Little Castle has hosted Kristen for five years.
She has been coming here since she was seventeen. She has got no friends and because of that, she was seen as a bitch she had proven to be.
She can't keep you if you can't offer anything that is related to sex to her and which is why she doesn't keep female friends.
She had kept a couple of boyfriends but they ended up ditching her because they could not keep up with her taste for sex.
She has not seen anyone who had matched her in bed so she stopped keeping boyfriends and started doing flings.
For a week now she has been sex starved and her toys were not doing much for her so she decided to come to Little Castle and get high then seek for who would bed her for the night but getting to the club she changed her mind and decided to drink and smoke only.
She was dressed in this black skimpy gown that has her boobs and curves showing with long black rubber boots.
Her hair was in a messy ponytail and she had a black lip gloss smudge on her lips.
Her look is of a black Angel, except for her pretty face you might mistake her to be a demon in an Angel form.
She threw the remaining cigarettes on the floor and picked another one, lit it up, and put it back in her mouth. She was definitely feeling good and it felt like it was just her in her world with no one else.
For the better part, she has been smoking more than drinking but still, she has the bottle of champagne in her hand.

At the entrance of the clubhouse, three dudes were seen trying to persuade the fourth one among them to go inside the clubhouse house with them.
Fredrick would rather be at home and do something worthwhile with his time than be there.
Clubbing has never been his thing but his three close friends had made jest of him earlier about him being the holiest one among them and for him to prove to them that he is as bad as they are, he had accepted to go clubbing with them but getting to the clubhouse, he had a change of mind and decided to leave but his friends would not hear of it.
"You can't tell me you are chickening out already?"
Bryan asked, almost laughing at Freddy like he had been called by his friends.
"Dude, why do you behave like a woman? No one is asking you to do anything. Just sit around and watch us do our thing. Is it too much for you to hang out with us?"
Fredrick eyed Justin who just spoke.
"Com'on dude, we are here already,"
The third guy, Larry, said frustrated.
Fredrick looked from one person to another and started walking into the clubhouse with his hands on his nose. The place reeks of smoke mixed with wine.
His friends did a victory dance behind him as they followed him in.
They got a table and settled down with Fredrick still having his hand on his nose.
"Gosh, this place stinks"
He murmured and looked up as if he was searching for something there or maybe he was searching for a breath of fresh air.
Larry stood up and walked to the counter to get drinks for them. He came back with a bottle of whiskey and four wine glass cups.
Fredrick brought his head down and watched in amazement. He did not plan to drink tonight so he did not know what the third glass was doing right there.
"Fuck off dude, it's not by force to sit with you."
They heard and turned toward the direction of the voice.
A girl in black was trying to tell a dude off but it looks like the guy was not ready to fuck off.
The three others pulled their gaze away like it was normal stuff but Fredrick had his eyes on the girl.
He felt this anger towards the dude that was pestering the girl and he stood up then headed to her table with three pairs of eyes staring after him in surprise.
"Hands off my girl, Jerk."
Kristen drove through the address given to her and parked, she quickly got down but was careful not to fall. Her dizziness had returned and her wound had started bleeding. Throughout her drive down to the hotel, she prayed not to pass out in the car. She took a great risk today and it's all for her mother's sake. Getting to the lobby, she inquired and was told Lucian's room number. She took the elevator. Ding! She was moving out of the elevator at full speed with her eyes glued to her phone. She found the room but what she saw wasn't what she expected at all. Lucian and two other men were taken away in handcuffs with gun wounds on their bodies. Lucian glared at her before he was pushed away She was in shock and when she recovered, she looked up to see her mother was okay yet there was no smile on Mrs. King's face. She looked away from her and finally looked at the man beside her mother. "Dad!"She muttered and passed out. Kristen opened her eyes and found three pairs of eyes wat
Wordlessly, Kristen turned and headed out. Annie thought of following her and when Kristen realized that Annie was following her, she gestured for her to stop with her hand. She has no idea what Lucian had planned to do so she can't endanger Annie's life. Kristen thought that after all of these and she survived, she would then reward Annabel for being her backbone. Both have been through thick and thin. She was full of exhaustion yet she was intending to drive herself to that God damned address. If in her terrible condition she can drive from place to this place? What is a thirty-minute journey she can't do? The address was the popular hotel in town, what a joke! If indeed she is getting married to Lucian, wasn't it supposed to be inside a church or something? A wedding inside a hotel, Kristen hadn't seen it all yet. The servants she saw gave her a kind look and with their deepest hearts, they wished she could pull through. But wait? Wasn't Kristen supposed to report this to the
The phone slipped off Kristen's hand and she went down on the floor, with tears flowing free from her eyes down to her cheeks and disappearing into her dress. It's unbelievable that the lady she saw a while ago was dead, for real? She can't just die. Frederick called and broke the news to her, the fact that Frederick had her number didn't bother her, she was too shocked to even utter a word and worst still, she was blaming herself for Noami's death. She didn't have to die, Kristen wished there was something she could do. Maybe Frederick hadn't kissed her or she hadn't flirted with him earlier, Noami would have still been alive yet deep down, Kristen felt she was not at fault. It was just a kiss, she shouldn't have taken it far and drove off in anger which got her killed however Kristen's heart was pricking her badly and her tears continued to flow nonstop. She was devastated.She forgot all about her tummy and wept. Her face was all red and she felt so weak. She didn't know wh
Frederick cleared his throat, trying to appear cool and collected, "Naomi what are you doing here." Kristen thought he was acting cold but he was actually flustered.Naomi stepped aside "I was looking for you and saw your car outside. It looks like you are busy."She looked hurt and Kristen could see it."Noami, it's not what you think?" Kristen started to explain but Noami never spared her a glance, she had her attention focused on Frederick, waiting for him to say something at least. "Aren't you going to say anything?" She was in dire need of explanation. She wanted him to tell her that he wasn't the one who initiated the kiss between Kristen and him, it will make her feel better and she could forgive him. Of course, she is aware of their relationship and wouldn't blame Frederick if anything like this was supposed to occur, two souls that love themselves can't be separated. She knew all this yet Noami wanted him for herself, she was hurting deeply, and to make matters worse,
Kristen watched him stop and turn to face her, she had her eyes fixed on him, not wanting to miss any emotions at all. The silence was deafening that a drop of a pin can be hard. A moment passed, another did and Kristen couldn't take the silence anymore plus the way he was staring at her like he was caught stealing what is his but who steals what they owe? "I don't know why you're watching me like that."She said and continued, "you looked uncomfortable and I wondered why you still don't want to tell me how you know my bedroom." She added with an annoyed tone "so spill, now."He sighed heavily and put his hands in his pockets. Kristen could see he didn't want to do this, she had this feeling he wanted to avoid it just as much as she wanted to know.Kristen took a step forward and demanded "now!" How in the world will he tell her all that he knows, he can't say anything concerning both of them. Not only will it traumatize her, but it could also endanger her and the lost memories will
As angry as she was that someone had to be knocking at her door, Kristen kept her cool and eventually opened the door to her surprise, she wasn't expecting him to be the one. Her frown dissolved into a smile and she stepped aside. Frederick walked in clutching two paper packs. "You are going out with this broken head of yours?" He asked worriedly and scanned her. Kristen smiled shyly and closed the door then faced him, "What are you doing here? There are two places you should be, the hospital or your girlfriend's place." The way she raised her brows made Frederick chuckle, "you did not even answer my question and you are asking me yours?" He raised one eyebrow."Well yeah, I am going to get what to eat. Can't remember the last time I ate and it's already mid-morning. Don't even know why I left the hospital, I need to be taken care of."She said dramatically and Frederick looked at her with lots of love in his eyes. Kristen lift her eyes and they met, she hadn't seen anyone lo
Gingerly but hesitantly, Noami stood up expecting Kristen to stop her from leaving. Disappointment was written all over her face and she was finding it hard to hide it. Kristen looked away from her as she waited for Noami to leave. Noami didn't look like Someone ready to leave. She was taking too much time to leave and Kristen's patience was running thin."Damn this lady, she should leave already," Kristen spat angrily in her mind."Won't she ask me to stay and also apologize to me?"Noami thought and took a step and then turned towards the direction of Kristen's face, as if on cue both their eyes met and they stared at each other.The tension was thickening in the room. Noami was staring at Kristen, waiting for her to at least say something, anything. As she saw Kristen remained silent, her anger rose within her and she spoke, "you know what?" She glared at Kristen, pointing her index finger at her angrily, "I was a fool to think I can patch things up with you. I am done trying
The silence was finally broken by Mrs. King after she could not bear the tension any longer. "You ruined me and my daughter after everything, what did I not do for you?""What exactly did you do for me, marrying me?"Stephen asked coolly, he was trying so hard to put his anger under control. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to do that but he knew one thing for sure, he would explode eventually. "If I haven't forgotten, you begged me to marry you, or are you forgetting that little detail?" He sighed and removed his hand from her face, "Listen, my dear, I am not doing anything wrong. Okay, I admit I had fun with your daughter, of course, sleeping with you and yo.." Whack! A slap landed on his face before he finished his statement. He held his cheek and glared at his wife who had her fingers pointing at his face, "don't you dare, Mr. Stephen King, don't dare speak of my daughter in that manner. I know what you wanted to say, that sleeping with me and my daughter
Her door closing gave Kristen relief, a peace she thought she would never have washed over her. It felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Kristen Chase felt free and the only thing that came to her mind was to dance. She did a little happy dance and collapsed on the bed, hitting her head in the process. She groaned because of the pain yet it didn't stop her from smiling. The pain in her chest has been greater than the one in her head and now the pain in her chest is not there, she can manage the pain in her chest with a smile. Give her a few days and she is back on her feet. "Do you know, baby, that your momma is free?" Kristen patted her belly and smiled, though the father of her child is out in her life, for now, she will take care of her bundle of joy. She might not get back with Lucian ever but she can promise her baby she'll be the greatest mother and be able to love him/her unconditionally. She knew Lucian doesn't love her and she knows he probably won't
