During lunch time, the whole school was agog over Parker's arrest. Newspaper clippings perpetrated by some of the school's miscreants filled the hallway, the locker rooms and even the bathrooms. The clippings had Parker's picture on it, calling him all sort of names. For a moment, Amanda felt bad for him. Nobody deserved this but if he was found guilty, he deserved everything he got.
"If you ask my human side, I feel bad for Parker." Emily said."And your inhumane side says what?" Amanda chuckled."Well, not so much pity there." she said."It's just so weird. Someone who just came to the school and now, he's being suspected for murder. I wonder how his parents would feel especially his mum." Amanda said."Away from that. Leslie called yesterday, she'll be resuming school the following week. At least, it's over a month since her mother's death. She said she's ready to resume." Emily sighed."Okay. We'll just be here to give her all the support she needs." Amanda said."Yeah"."That reminds me, how is your secret admirer?" Amanda said, wiggling her brows."Oh please Am, I have none. Like I said before, the letters have stopped coming. Whoever it was got tired." Emily said."So how about Michael's proposal. Are you going to honor it?""I'm still thinking about it. You know, he's known for flirting a lot and I wouldn't want to drag myself into any of that. But I'm leaning on the side of accepting." Emily said, sipping her drink."You better. To be honest, if you ask me, I really don't see Micheal as a flirt like people claim he is. I mean, you can't judge a book by its cover." Amanda said.Emily grunted, spilling some drink on the table. "Say that to Parker. We knew he was really on the dark side but we never knew he was capable of murder." Emily said."We still don't know that yet, he's still a suspect and we really shouldn't be pointing accusing fingers at him when we still don't know the full gist." Amanda said."Preach it girl." Emily hollered.People stared, giving her the stink eye but it wasn't in Emily to give a damn about what they thought.Just then, there was blaring noise as the speakers came on. The students knew that this was announcement as they waited patiently."Amanda Thompson please report to the principal's office immediately." the secretary said.Amanda sat rigid in her seat. She knew why she was being summoned. As she stood up, she felt so many eyes on her but she reminded herself that she was innocent. She wasn't guilty of any crime."You've got this girl, just tell them the truth without mincing any words." Emily said.Amanda smiled at the show of support as she made her way to the principal's office. When she got to the door, she took a deep breath before knocking. She was scared to her wits but she waved it off. After all, there was nothing she should be scared of, she was innocent and that's all that matters.A deep voice within ushered her in. It was only once she had visited the principal's office this would be the second time but it hadn't changed. The same murals beautifying the office were the same with others she saw. Amanda met the principal and two plainclothed policemen, Parker was seated in their middle and the only available seat was the one directly facing him. Amanda took a seat, cognizant of the fact that all eyes were on her."Good morning Amanda." the principal said in his booming voice."Good morning sir." she said.She gave herself a mental pat on the back at how well her voice was composed. She took a deep breath, calming her raging heart."I'm sure you know why you're being summoned?" He asked.Amanda nodded, saving her voice for when she really needed it. The policemen remained quiet, one jotting some notes on a piece of paper."Good, Officer Mark will take over from here." the principal said.Officer Mark was the one jotting things down. He closed his pen, facing her. He had a calm exterior and a pleasant face but beneath all that, Amanda knew he was one not to be messed with. "Good morning Miss, I'm officer Mark. I'll just be asking you a few questions concerning the case we're currently pursuing." He said."Okay." Amanda simply said."Good. Do you know this boy sitting here?" he asked, pointing at Parker."Yes I do"."On what basis?" He asked.The other officer whom she was yet to know his name began jotting down some things on the note pad."Here, in school. He's a new student." Amanda said, wringing her hands."I see. On the eve of the scammer's death, did you see the victim?" He asked.Amanda nodded then she began explaining all that transpired. She left nothing behind and she could tell that the officers seemed to believe her."And after that, did you leave the area immediately?" he asked."Yes, I went to the Mart immediately. Parker left before I did so I have no knowledge if he still had an encounter with the scammer." Amanda said."Alright, that would be all for now. Thank you for your time Miss." he said."My pleasure"."Thank you Amanda, you may return to your class." the principal said.Amanda nodded, staring at Parker who had his head down. She soon left but deep down, she prayed that he was innocent. Even though she hated his guts, she didn't wish for him to go to prison. She made her way to the class which and already started. Thankfully, Emily helped with her bag which was currently resting on her locker. She settled in her seat, sighing at what she had just experienced."How did it go?" Emily asked.Amanda narrated all that had happened, whispering so she wouldn't be caught murmuring in class. "Wow, so they're still holding Parker? I guess this issue is more serious than we thought."she said."Yeah, I think so too. I have a feeling Parker has done business with this guy before because it seems like they really have a strong relationship." Amanda said."True though. Whatever it is, I hope he's freed soon. I kinda feel bad for him. Murder is not a joking matter." she said.Amanda nodded, wishing the same thing.''Thank you.'' Parker said.Amanda who had been in the middle of waking up and sleeping yawned as she opened her eyes. She had just had the best sex ever and she knew that in time to come, she would never forget any of this. Parker made her feel like a woman, a woman who was dignified and not like those other women men used, stories she had heard from her friends.''For what?'' Amanda asked.''For starters, for doing this with me. I know you can easily get your pick from all the numerous men out there but you chose me. That means something to me.'' Parker smiled.He moved closer to her, taking her warm hands in his. He couldn't quite believe he had a beautiful woman in his bed. It all seemed like a dream but Parker knew it was no dream, it was real. As real as it could get.''You don't have to thank me. I love to be with you just as you are to me so no need to thank me. All we have to figure out now is how to manage this without letting anyone else know about it.'' Amanda said.Parker
"How do you feel baby?"Amanda asked.It's been a few days since Parker was attacked and to say he made a speedy recovery would be an understatement, it was amazing.At the beginning, when it first happened, Amanda had her doubts whether he would recover but at the end, he not only surprised her but everyone who knew.Jamie and Amanda both knew that it was his strength that saved him but at the same time, Parker was so strong on his own that nothing could actually hurt him."I'm okay baby, you don't need to worry about me. I told you to stop asking about me, I'm more concerned about you. Tell me darling, how do you feel?" Parker asked.That was just one thing about him. Even though he was in pains, he would still make sure she was alright. That was the kind of man she loved and Amanda was quite glad she got him."Asides being scared that you might not make it, I'm okay over all." She smiled.Parker leaned closer to her, giving her a warm kiss on her lips.This was the best moment for t
‘’The Dremis’s have sought for outside help.’’ Aliyah began.If Lucas was surprised to hear this, he hid it well. For a group not so grounded as the Dremis’s, he had a feeling that they might likely have sought outside help. Now, it was happening and he didn’t know what to make of it. ‘’Wow! Really, wow!’’ Lucas said.‘’I know, that was my initial expression when he told me this.’’ Aliyah said.With those words, she had committed herself and she knew it was best for her to tell him everything at that moment because he would never stop until he found out what she really meant by those words.‘’Diabla, what do you mean?’’ Lucas asked.Aliyah sighed, taking a deep breath. She didn’t want to be seen as a traitor. Even though she was the head and could do as she pleases, her loyalty still remained with her group and she would rather die than compromise that.‘’I lied when i told you i went to see the accident victim.’’ Aliyah said.‘’I knew you were lying but I just didn’t know where you
Lucas was getting ready to leave his office when he received a call from Aliyah. He had been expecting her call and he was quite glad when he saw her name flash on his screen. Ever since his first kidnap, he had also been very careful on how he moved about.He didn't want to do anything that would cause her pain or put himself in a position that wasn't good at all. He needed to be careful now because a baby, his child, was also in the picture.Lucassmiled broadly and picked it up. He heared gushes from her as she thanks him for the dress. He knew she was going to do this but still, he was surprised at how enthusiastic she sounded. This just told him that she actually appreciated the gift and within him, he planned to give her more gifts as the day went by.''Hey baby, I see you like your new dress.'' he smiled.''Aliyah, I not only like it, I love it. Thank you so much.'' Aliyah gushed.She had always been a sucker for pretty dresses and anytime anyone gifted her one, she never faile
"Oh my gosh! No no no. It's not going through." Aliyah said.She had been trying to mind link Lucas ever since but the damn server was being distrusted by something or someone. It was very frustrating to say the least."Oh my gosh! What's going on? Where's Lucas?" Aliyah asked, pacing about.She gripped her phone in her hands, pacing about with tears streaming down her eyes. If anything were to ever happen to Lucas, Aliyah knew she'd never forgive herself nor him because she had warned him not to go anywhere but his stubbornness and insistence to go had caused him a whole lot."What's happening?" She asked.Patrick rushed in at that moment, panthing in her normal form. Aliyah had called her when she couldn't get a hold of Lucas because in that moment, she knew it was only Patrick that could calm her down."You still haven't gotten a hold of him?" Patrick asked, morphing back to her normal form."No and the worst part of it all is that the mind link seems to be scrambled somehow." Aliy
"Babe, I need to get to another town this evening. I need to pick up something from my office there." Lucas said. It was early in the morning, with the birds singing in the air and the morning animals chirping in the forests round about them. It was also the day of the anniversary, the day when both Aliyah and Lucas would be in their strongest form. "You realize what day it is today right?" Aliyah asked. Lucas knew but still, he knew he had to take the trip. It was very important not only to him but to the entire company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else. "This is important to me Aliyah, you've got to understand." He said Aliyah didn't know what was more important than staying home when he clearly knew that going out on a anniversary day was not a good decision. "Can't it wait till the following day?" Aliyah asked. "It honestly can't. If I could, I wouldn't bother going today." Lucas said. Aliyah thought about it and judging from the look in his eyes, she knew it had
