LOGINELROYMy body froze at that spot as my brain reeled back those words he said once more. Father approached me, his eyes a steady calm that sent shivers down my spine.“Don’t think I’m blind” his voice dropped low as he walked in front of me. “What I think is that you’re wrong” I countered, there was no way I’d let him know just yet, he wasn’t ready to hear the truth and we still hadn’t gotten enough evidence to stand against Tiffany, so not yet.He scoffed at me “El, come on, you can’t possibly think that I’m that dumb or that gullible” His eyes held an eerie calmness when he needed to lash out right now.“No father, you’re wrong and I don’t think you’re gullible” I stated “All I know is that it’s not professor Reeds” One rule I’ve learnt from all my years of watching crime documentaries, was to always deny until proven wrong. He still had no right to conclude just yet.“Whatever you think, if you don’t sever the ties you have with her, I’ll have no choice but to make sure her caree
ELROYHis last sentence ran deep in the neurons of my brain. There was no way she could be broke and still living the way she did. The expensive car, the clothes and shoes she never or hardly repeated, they were all lies?“It’s shocking isn’t it?” He asked.“If you were me, I doubt that you’d be fine. If that’s true then, I can tell my father to stop forcing her into my face” the realization of what could be done with the truth, hit me and happiness loomed over my thoughts.But Noah didn’t look relieved, yes the injury on his side was still a thorn in his daiky activities but it didn’t mean that it would stop him from being happy.“Why are you so stuck up?” I asked, playing the reel of how I’d bundle Tiffany and send her out of the house in no time, yet he didn’t say a thing. “Shouldn’t we be celebrating? Apart from the fact that your injury is still there..sorry about that”“No, no, that’s not it” he quipped, adjusting himself. “It’s just that we don’t have enough evidence..you might
ELROY’S POVTiffany’s robe showed all of her cleavage, a futile foreseen attempt at seduction. “El..please..let me spend the night here” she begged, letting her body lunge forward at me.“There are multiple rooms in this house. Also, who let you in this place?” I asked when a silhouette came into my view.“Would it be wrong for your fiancé to share the room with you?” Father asked, startling me. I didn’t know that he was back from the conference, why was he back from the conference?“Father, you have no say in my sexual life, I’m not letting her into my room, end of discussion” I answered, slamming the door in her face.“Elroy..please open the door” she cried out, banging the door with her fist whilst Evelyn had her robe loosened against her chest in the most alluring manner that it made it difficult for me to focus on the problem right outside the door.“What’s going on?” She mouthed but I locked the door behind me and made sure there was no way Tiffany or any one else would be getti
TIFFANY“Why does everything you do goes wrong?!” I yelled at him, pacing back and forth in the room, my hands on my waist as my brain kept wandering why and how we’ve been failing twice in a row. His hands clasped over one another and his head stayed low “It won’t happen again” his low baritone repeated.“It better not” I hissed “I’m not paying you and funding your love fiasco for you to fail” my eyes glared at him as I punched his side and he didn’t flinch. My arm would probably hate me later but right now, this was the only way my frustrations would leave my body.“Leave!” I yelled, my chest heaving with anger “Just get the f*ck out!” My voice growled before I slumped back into my chair and took hold of the pipe and had it in my mouth, taking in the smoke and letting it out through my nostrils.Being the prim blonde princess had never been so tiring. From trying to hold onto Elroy so that old hag wouldn’t get him to lying about my social status to everyone at the academy. Life di
EVELYN’S POVWe got to the hospital after Anya had a good bath and a change of clothes. Her fingers still trembled and luckily, his parents were still out of town when it happened so she could see him and be with him as best as she could.“It wasn’t your fault” I kept whispering, caressing her back softly as she sat beside him, holding onto his palm.“The doctor said he’s out of danger and he’ll be fine” Elroy assured her before rubbing my shoulder and tilting his head so I could follow him outside.“What..what is it? Did you lie to her?” I asked when we walked right outside “Is everything alright?” My tone panicked but he didn’t. He took hold of my wrist and pulled me to sit down.“He’s awake” he said without looking at my face and I scrunched my nose and squinted my eyes to hear him speak.“I’m sorry..he’s awake? Then why is he still there? Acting like he’s dead” “He needs some time alone with her and we need to give them their space” he answered, slipping his fingers so they would
ANYA’S POV“It’s okay..you’re alright..” Evelyn said in an effort to console me but it just couldn’t be done. Noah was bleeding in the hospital and it was all my fault.****Hours ago, my detective had finall caught something “Melvin’s registered vehicle is meeting someone at the Crimbsone street tonight but I also got my findings on something else, a lead that he might be somewhere else”Letting out a sigh “What do you think we should do?” I asked, putting my finger nail between my teeth to lessen the anxiety brewing in my mind right now but it was futile, my blood pressure only spiked.“Fine, I’ll head out to the street tonight and uh…you check out the place you have in mind” I said to him and quickly, he made his way out of the restaurant and I followed right behind him, trying to wave down a cab when a familiar dark cardillac drove up to me.“What are you doing here?” I asked.He leaned down to see my face “Let’s just say I followed you and actually the private detective wasn’t to
Evelyn's POV There were a lot in the hall. I took a glass of champagne from a passing tray and moved through the crowd slowly. Smiled when I needed to. Nodded at faces I half recognized from the faculty corridor. I didn't belong here. Not because anyone said it. Just because belonging felt a cert
Evelyn's POV I blocked the number. My fingers were shaking so badly I nearly dropped the phone twice before it went through. Then I put it in my bag and stood there for a second just breathing. The classroom was empty. Chairs still warm from the students that had just left. My notes still spread
Evelyn's POV Everyone knew Elroy Vans, everyone in this city. But only a few families were affiliated with his and could have access to him. His face was on billboards across the city, sharp jaw, perfect hair. The Vans family funded half the buildings at Crestwood. Their name was on everything, c
EVELYN'S POV "You think you're better than me?"Melvin asked me with his voice slightly raised. But I kept my eyes on my magazine and said nothing. "I'm talking to you Evelyn!"He fired at me whilst shoving me. "I heard you" I replied without looking up. "Then answer me!" He snapped at me then he
