Peter rushed into Ben's office and banged his hand on the table, while Ben laughed at the screen of his phone. "It's been two days and we haven't gotten James TD. We have to do something!" He yelled. Ben didn't even bulge. He just kept staring at the screen of his phone. "Ben!" Peter yelled. Ben turned and gaze at Peter. "It's your fucking duty Peter. If my father finds out that you haven't gotten the bloody ass James TD, he'll fire you. All he'll do to me is yell at me" Ben rolled his eyes. "What?" Peter looked surprised. The door flew wide open and Manuel walked in. "Mr Manuel!" Peter bowed. Ben saw his father and rushed to him. "Father!" He said. Before Ben could reach his father, he slapped him hard on the cheek. Manuel growled angrily. "F..father?" He called out. "You are a disgrace! How dare you! This is the last chance for you to prove yourself!""I'm trying my best father" Ben said. "I don't see your best. Ethan has gotten Hazel Morgan already...""Impossible!" He
The next day, Kelly was dressed up as Chloe. Ethan even helped her pick the perfect outfit. Wilson already set up the fancy dinner at the penthouse. "The wig is itching" Kelly scratched her head. "You look like Chloe. You just have to add badass to your character" "I really can't do that part" Kelly replied. "Whatever, just act like you're really a model" he said. "Yes sir" Kelly rolled her eyes. Ethan checked his wrist watch. "Uh, I'll have to go pick him up in an hour. You should go wait in the penthouse""Okay" Kelly replied. Ethan ran out of the room and almost bumped into Hazel. Kelly saw Ethan's phone on the table and rushed out to give it to him. "Oh hey Ethan. I was looking for you" Hazel said, throwing her hair to the back. "Oh, hey! I saw some event planner with your mother. What's happening?""Oh, my grandpa's birthday. It's going to be splendid. If you don't want to attend, you can..." He stopped when the door opened and Kelly walked out, dressed like Chloe. Ha
For several hours, Kelly has been with James. She has been laughing out her ass as he told her some jokes. James just watched her silently with a cute smile on his face. "You know, I really enjoy spending time with you. It's like I can stay here the entire night with you" he said. The look on her face vanished immediately. She was feeling guilty. "I should tell you something James" she started. "You don't have to say anything" he replied. "No, I can't hide it anymore. I don't want to fool you. I'm not Chloe. I'm her twin sister, Kelly" Kelly said and dragged down her wig. "I'm sorry for lying to you the entire time. My brother...""Kelly" James called out. She stopped ranting and kept mute. "I know you were Kelly even before I arrived here" "What?" Kelly was confused. If he knew she was Kelly, why has he been calling her Chloe and acting like he doesn't know? James poured some wine into the glasses. "Chloe is with my father right now, shooting a movie""Oh, busted" she folde
It was noon already. Guests from different families, different backgrounds, different countries came to the manor. The hall was big enough to contain a hundred guests and that was the limit. Mr Croydon said he didn't want anything more than that. He wasn't interested in flaunting his money by throwing huge parties.Christopher entered his father's room to bring him out for his birthday. He saw his father getting ready in front of the mirror. He didn't wear a suit. He was shocked to see his father wearing a shirt with a designer knee length short. He added a chain and glasses, with a pair of sneakers.Christopher shot his mouth wide open from the moment he walked in. "Father! Why on earth would you wear that?""I'm getting old already. I'm tired of the suits and corporate wears" he replied. "I understand but this? Governors and some important people are down there""Great, I won't be noticed at all" Mr Croydon replied.Christopher groaned in frustration. "You know my birthday isn't
Few weeks back...At the orphanage, before Evan's death. He left home, heading to the orphanage as usual. He always spend his Saturday there, with the children. The driver took him there and left. Evan didn't leave the orphanage home till it was late in the evening. He was by the gate, waiting for his driver when he heard the explosion. He rushed in and was lucky that no one was close to the kitchen. He helped everyone out. That was when Ben sneaked out of the orphanage home, together with the kids. He was hurt and his clothes were already burnt. He rushed to his car, coughing hard. He took off his jacket and his half burnt shirt.Evan went in, still looking for some kids. He checked the whole rooms, covering his mouth, careful not to inhale any smoke. He was running out of breath and he didn't find any more kids, so he rushed to the emergency door. He was trying to open it because it could only be open from the inside. The door finally open.Immediately, he stepped out, someone kick
As the piercing sound of her alarm clock filled the room, Michelle slowly opened her eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight filtering into her window, through the thin curtain. She groaned and reached out to hit the snooze button, but her hand missed and hit the off button instead.Realising her mistake, she sat up abruptly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She glanced at her clock and saw that she had overslept by fifteen minutes. Panic set in as she realized she was going to be late for school.But, she didn’t mind. There’s no way she’ll be punished if she’s late. Majestically, she rose from the bed and head to the bathroom to take a clean shower. After putting on her skimpy dress, she head downstairs for breakfast with her school bag behind her. “Good morning mom, good morning dad. Hey sissy” she greeted her family and sat down to eat. “Someone woke up late today” her mother, Mrs Will asked, slicing her bacon. Michelle glared at the maid.“She forgot to wake me up” she had
Six years Later The door flung wide open, making Michelle shriek in fear. She left the kitchen and walked to Francis. He sat down on the old couch with his hand over his head. She didn’t need anyone to tell her what happened. She just sat close to him. “Babe, you don’t have to be sad. We are in this together” she said. He raised his head and glared at her. “I just lost my fourth job in two months. What can I do with just two thousand dollars? It can’t help. The kids school fees, the light bills, the water bills, everything!” He was pained. Michelle sighed and folded her lips. She was also working in different part time jobs to make sure she supports him. “You should eat something and then, calm down. I need to go to work” she sprung up and head to the kitchen to bring him some food. His voice stopped her. “Why can’t you just ask your parents for help? It’s not too hard. Hey mom, send me some money, I’m starving” he said. “You know I can’t do that Francis. We’re independent.
Trevor’s assistant who was in the passenger seat handed him his tablet. “Here’s the guest list” he said. He took it and glanced at it. “It’s my father’s birthday today. I’d like to go to his party with a surprise” he said, smiling at Michelle. “Where’s the surprise?” Michelle asked, looking around. She thought she would see a box or gift bag. But no, she didn’t. Trevor said.... “You’re the surprise Rose. Drive the car” he ordered. Michelle’s heart starts to beat faster. She doesn’t know where she was going and what Trevor had in mind. His father owned a lot of oil company across the world. He’s the number one oil supplier in the country. He’s popular and very influential. She was going to the party. Few minutes later, they got to the city mall, which was quite empty. It was very unusual. Trevor Stonefield has proven his financial status and booked the whole mall just to get his date ready for his father’s birthday party. The guards behind opened the door for her. Michelle gave
