Malvika drove into the parking lot of the bookshop. She turned off the car, picked her handbag and got down. She locked the door, adjusted her skirt and walked into the bookshop. She had no daily job to get to and the house was becoming boring for her. So, she decided to pick up new books to keep herself busy.
She walked into the bookshop, stopping by the counter to say 'hi' to the lady behind it. “Hello Joan,” she said with a charming smile. “Looking lovely today.”
“Hi Malvika,” Joan greeted, looking up with a smile. “It’s nice to see you. It’s being a while you came here.”
“Oh yes. I went through a major change in my life, you know. Anyway, I’m here now and will probably be visiting frequently. Got any new books for me?”
“Oh, we’ve got a lot.”
“Oh yeah?” Malvika asked with am excited smile.
“Yeah. We’ve got new crime thri
Diane groaned in frustration as her phone rang the fifth time. The phone had been ringing and she had refused to pick. Did the person calling not get the memo that she didn’t want to pick or talk to anyone? Angrily, she picked the phone and answered the call. “Who is this?” She snapped.“Diane, this is Logan,” the person replied.“Oh! I’m so sorry, Logan, I had no idea it was you.”“That’s okay,” Logan said reassuringly. “Actually, I called to inform you that preparations for your father’s burial has been completed.”“Oh my God!” Diane gasped. “Thanks, Logan. I’ve been so caught up with different things lately that I forgot to ask about that.”“It’s okay. All that remains for us is to pick a date. Does the twenty second of next month sound okay to you?”“Yeah, that’s good.”
Ashley laid on the bed, filing her nails and chewing gum really loudly. She moved her head from side to side as she examined the nails. The door opened and Ashley looked up to see Nicholas coming in. She climbed out of the bed, dropping her nail equipment on the bed and walking towards Nicholas.“Hey baby,” she said with a hug smile, leaning closer to hug him. She snaked her hands round his neck, pulling his head down for a kiss. “How was work?”“Ugh, stressful,” Nicholas muttered.“Aww, honey,” Ashley said, rubbing his back slowly. “Well, will you mind some massage?” She asked as she watched him sit on the bed and kick his shoes away.“I would love it,” he groaned.“Good!” Ashley said excitedly. She moved closer to him and began to unbutton his shirt. She pulled his shirt off him and began to pul
DIANE pressed her nose to the window. She stared outside as Nicholas drove past the houses and trees. She didn’t want to turn to look at him; she didn’t want to start a conversation. She wanted to be alone. But of course, Nicholas did not get the hint. He had to talk. “Hey, are you okay?” he asked.Diane grunted.“Di? Is everything okay?”She grunted again.“Di?”She turned to him. “Can’t you see that I don’t want to talk to you?”He shrugged. “I want to talk.”She rolled her eyes and turned back to the window.“I should tell you a little about my grandparents, right?”“Do whatever you want,” she replied but was really interested in what he had the say.“Well, I&rs
Jenny dug her hand into her purse and brought out a lighter. Holding the cigarette with her lips, she pressed the lighter on and lit her cigarette. She held the cigarette in the middle of her two fingers, inhaled, removed the cigarette and blew out of puff. After repeating the process about three times, she brought out a phone and scrolled through the contacts. She came to a stop on Malvika’s name and dialed the number.Meanwhile, Malvika was naked in her bathtub filled with bubbles. There was a magazine in her hand and her phone was on a small table close to the wall. She sank into the bubble, letting out a deep sigh as she flipped the magazine open from page to page.Her phone rang. She sighed, pushed herself up out of the tub and reached out to pick her phone. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she saw that it was an unknown number.She swiped the answer button. “Hello?”“M
“Can you stop the music?” Diane asked, exasperated. “Your taste in music is so awful.”“You don’t like this?” Nicholas asked as he paused the music.“Please I’m trying to relax. Don’t make this harder for me,” Diane replied, massaging her temples with her fingers.“Here, let me help you out.” Nicholas say down at the edge of the bed, close to her head and replaced her fingers with his. He slowly rubbed her temple. “Relax,” he whispered.Diane groaned as the muscles in her head relaxed. “You are so good at this.”“I try.”“Ashley is enjoying a lot.”“Really? What do you mean?”“First of all, you give good head massages,” she said.“I give excell
Natasha jogged down the stairs, walked past Jenny who was sitting on the couch and headed towards the kitchen. Her throat felt parched and she needed to drink water. Just as she was about to step into the kitchen, Jenny called her. “Natasha.”Natasha stopped, a little bit confused. She turned around with a frown. “Did you just call me?”“Yes. Pass me the remote control,” Jenny simply said.“What?”“The remote control. Pass it to me.”“Jenny, it’s right in front of you,” Natasha said, staring at her in confusion.“Yes, I know that and I want you to pass it to me,” Jenny insisted much to Natasha’s disbelief.Natasha turned and walked back towards Jenny. She stood in front of her, her arms folded together. “Okay, Jenny, what are you playing
“What do you think?” Malvika asked. She was standing in front of the mirror staring at her reflection. She was cladded in a red mermaid skirt that hugged her thighs, brought out her curves and flared out just above her knees. The skirt was paired with a black and silvery crop top that left a part of her stomach exposed. She had also slipped on a pair of pumps. “Well?” She asked again, twisting her body as she looked herself over in the mirror.“I think you look amazing,” Natasha said. She was on the bed, her legs stretched out in front of her as she looked at Malvika.“Really?”“Yeah, you definitely look good. That skirt is amazing. Brings out your figure.”“Oh, I know. That’s why I picked it.”“Where are you going anyway?” Natasha asked.“I asked Jayden to come on
Natasha laid sprawled on her body, scrolling through her phone and playing music. She glanced at her reading table, aware that she was supposed to be reading right now but she couldn't do anything. She was not exactly in the mood to read anything. She thought back to Ashley walking into her room and demanding that she washed her clothes, she thought of Jenny asking her to pass the remote and blackmailing Malvika. Then, she thought of Malvika scheming with Jenny to break Nicholas and Diane apart. Natasha let out a loud scream and flung her phone on the bed. This was so fucked up. Her life was fucked up. This house was fucked up. Everything was just fucked up. She sat up, rubbing her forehead with the tips of her fingers. This house was so fucked up, she thought. How did her and her sisters even get into this kind of life and how did Malvika feel so comfortable doing whatever she was doing with Jenny right now. Natasha picked up her phone, scrolling through her contact list. She clicke
