Chapter 19Octavia shifted on her foot.Why was the atmosphere turning bad.She bit her lips, moving back. This was bad.A hand went to her waist just as she was about to fall."Ha! Thank you so much William." She mumbled, and shook her head.That was on stupid move."Mr Wayne." William stretched out his hand for a shake but Bennett never took it.Were they enemies? Well, that was their problem.But why was he looking at her like that?"Do you know each other?' She was forced to asked, because of their stares."Yes, Bennett is a long time friend. Well, that was before it all began." Williams answered and she nodded, not wanting to know what began.Men and their problems.Women were the only people suppose to hold grudges not men like them."Ha! Forget about all those past problems." The girl called Charlotte mumbled with a wave of her hand.'Stupid buggy girl.'"You two fit each other very well, I didn't like what the tabloid wrote about you the other time. That Christian Berth is no
Chapter 20"No, we are not together. We just know each other became Octavia's music till they arrived at her company."I never thought I'd ever have the kind of fun I had today." She mumbled, giggling."Then sign the contract Miss Octavia. I personally made that fun." He said and she frowned.Couldn't he for once stop talking about the nonsense Contract."I will sign it after the fun we'll have again tommorow." She said and he hissed."Look here little one, I don't have the time to come play tommorow. I did everything I did for that contract. You can't tell me to come back the fuck here tomorrow and play again. What are you? Seven?" He glared hard."Well, I'm so sorry for all that Mr Yuan. You didn't look like this when we were busy riding that dosco bang and I can swear I saw you laugh. So please stop acting all cocky and come back here tommorow or you could forget about the damn contract cause I won't be signing that shit till you're here tommorow. Get that?" She shrugged and he chu
Chapter 21The day was going to be hectic.She knew that. She didn't wake up at the right side of the bed, so she knew how bad the day would turn out.Her head was banging so hard.Damn! She should have listened to Ryan and get some rest rather than sign the huge paperwork.Running her hand through her hair, she sighed as she took a seat on the chair at the dining table."What's wrong with you? Hangover or headache?" Sofia asked, walking out of the kitchen with a mug of tea.Dropping one for Octavia, she sighed as she grabbed the mug and gulp the content down in a go.She was so tired."I did tell her to rest her head last night, but she didn't listen." Ryan walked in with a mug of tea too."I did rest...""But it was too late." Ryan completed, cutting her off."When did you get back?" Octavia asked, turning to Sofia to see they woman roll her eyes."Who do you think prepared the food Ryan brought to you? Don't tell me you lied to her, that you prepared it?" She turned to Ryan who rai
Chapter 22Octavia stilled.What was going on?Hurriedly, she climbed into the car just as he opened it and he slided inside as well.Grabbing the key, he ignited the engine of the car."What is wrong? Who is chasing us?' She asked. Bennett didn't like this one but! He gave her a sharp glare that shut her up."Fuck!' He cussed.If only she had listened to him and go inside, then he was sure he could have handled them pretty well but there was no way he'd fight them and she'd be beside him."What the hell is wrong? Oh God! I wouldn't have come here." Octavia cried, as he drove out of the garage.She turned and hell! there was a car following them.A huge black van!"What did you do to this people? Who the fuck are there?" She asked, as the car drove out to the road.God! She had never felt so afraid.The car that had been chasing them, was now getting closer and was now beside them.Octavia looked up and the driver of the van glared at her, and used his hand to gesture that he would s
Chapter 23It was as if they had began a staring competition as no one said a thing.Why was he staring at her like that?Was she wrong?It had never been recorded of anyone playing with fire without getting burnt.Fire was dangerous and so was anything similar to fire.He was saying he was fire... but was she ready to get burnt?"Boss?""Boss?" They both snapped their eyes to they people that has just entered the house.Octavia could swear she had seen him smile before he turned.It was just a lift of the upper lip but damn...it was everything one could ever wish for.How could one smile so sweetly but never smile at all?He walked down the stairs, staring at the man who was on his knees."Mr...?""Gordon.""Hmm...what a good name you have there." He chuckled."No one sent me." The man said.He had no atom of fear in him even as they men charged closer to punch him.Octavia watched Bennett take out a gun from a holster that was clutWhat was he going to dommm#"I love it that you'r
Chapter 24Hey guys.... from this chapter I'll be making it first point of view not third point, so please do well to Cooperate and ask questions when you do not understand.OctaviaI had been shown to my room few minutes ago. I sat beside my window after taking my bath.One could see little of the flashlights and the city road light from where i sat.There was silent...dead silent and I wasn't used to it.I was use to the bickerings between Sofia and Ryan and I.My eyes widened when i recalled that i had not even called them yet.Rushing out of the room, i walked down the stairs.. looking for Bennett.My cellphone. After the incident, I had misplaced my phone and right now i wanted to speak with any member of my family.Walking through the hall, i sniffed the air to perceive a sweet aroma that was coming from a room close to the hall where i stood.I walked faster and my eyes widened seeing Bennett in front of the gas cooker.Was he cooking?"Are you going to keep standing there and
Chapter 25After dinner, I had gone up to the room I had been given to have a good rest.This was the kind of time Sofia and I would use to play some chukoo or video game.I switched on my cell phone.They were missed calls of Ryan, Sofia and... Williams?Why would Williams call me?I dialed Sofia's number and waited for a few minutes before she picked up."Octavia!!!" I pulled the phone out of my ear."Can you stop yelling and listen to me first." I half yelled as well."Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how worried we were? Do you know I was about to call the police and tell them about you missing?" She half yelled.I could hear Ryan's voice, telling her to stay calm."Don't fucking tell me to stay calm Ryan, she's... Uggg!" She scoffed.Silence reigned between us.I wasn't at fault. It was Bennett."I'm sorry." I mumbled."Apology accepted. Where are you?" She asked.Sofia was like a mother to me, although my mother was alive and well...she stayed with Grandpa to make sur
Chapter 26OctaviaThe day was going by quickly and I had to leave."Miss Octavia. Are you leaving?" Jace asked, walking up to me.I stood at the foot of the stairs."Yes, I am. I have to leave for a suit at Riverside and DL and then home." I replied..He nodded, glancing up the stairs and quickly walking away out of the house.I looked up the stairs to see Charlotte standing there with a smile on her face."He's avoiding me.""What did you do?" I asked. Jace was a nice guy and avoiding her meant she did something and with the smile on her face...I could tell she did something very dangerous."I did nothing Octavia. That guy needs cleansing." She replied, walking down."You're leaving.""I am." "Yeah, you have to....you know get back to taking pictures and smiling beautifully." I rolled my eyes."Those cameras? Do they affect you?""They once affected but now.. I've gotten use to it." I said."Well, goodbye sweetie and break a leg." She winked and ran away giggling.Jace would have
