Chapter TwelveShelly was the definition of outrage. Her face was a pure picture of surprise and anger. Why of all times did the witch decide to do this now that she had a freaking chance with Chase."So uhm...not to interrupt but you're on the verge of destroying your phone." Chase's voice snapped her back to reality and she blushed realizing how stupid she must have looked in front of him."Uhm...I'm sorry it's not like that it's just uhm..." She looked down fighting the tears that was threatening to spill."Hey." His gentle voice and his light fingertips grazed her jaw as he forced her to look at him. "You can talk to me you know.""It's nothing really just that your girlfriend wants me to come over to her house tonight." Shelly groaned inwardly, she just couldn't imagine spending a second in the same place with Cindy. They'd literally kill each other."Are you even listening to me?" She heard Chase's voice as she looked up at him and sighed."I'm sorry I was just thinking about ho

Chapter Fourteen "Daddy it's not going to be a problem ok. Shelly will still plan my upcoming birthday this weekend," Cindy pouted as she stared at her father in his office."Fine then, I guess there's no need for me to call the catering services," he huffed and kept his phone on the desk.With a swift kiss on her father's cheek, Cindy walked out. Roy massaged his temples as he stared at his daughter leaving. She was his pride but most times he became frustrated by how she just loved her life without caring to know anything about the company.He had it in mind to hand it over to Chase Parker but the boy was busy with his passion and now Cindy didn't look ready to take over soon.Massaging his temples, Roy reclined back in his office arm chair and twirled it around so he was able to see the sky from his window.He smiled as he remembered his late wife and how much of an inspiration she had been to him. So far he was yet to see t

Chapter Sixteen "I promise you guys I'm damn serious these are the same cast that were in that movie."Kiara and Cindy just stared at her and then burst out laughing so hard they were already rolling on the bed. Shelly gave a frustrated growl. She had spent thirty freaking minutes convincing these dunces that the movie Nerdy Glasses was real and after surfing YouTube they didn't find the movie instead found the same people who starred in Nerdy Glasses starring in another movie titled KARMA and they had watched it yet it was nothing like the Nerdy Glasses she'd watched with her friends. Now they thought she was hallucinating or worse still___"Could have told us you wanted to direct a nerdy movie," Cindy chortled.___That, Shelly thought as she stared at her friends still laughing."I'm not directing any movie, Cindy." She snapped."Sure," Kiara drawled sarcastically."I thought tonight is girls night out?" S

Chapter Eighteen Any moment now she'd feel an impact with the cold hard floor and her life would be over before her eyes.But she never felt the impact.Why was she not falling?"Hold on tight," she heard Chase smooth voice and pried her eyes open. She saw he was holding her wrist tightly."Oh my gosh! You caught me!!" She exclaimed nervously."Just don't look down," Chase grunted as he tried pulling her."Oh sure, I could do that," she laughed, "it'd be like those crazy stunt in movies.""I assure you this is very real, Shelly." Sweat was running down his brows by now. He had no idea that she weighed so much. How possible was that considering she was thin."You know I was going to test my theory. I mean it's possible that I may not have died if I slipped down right now.""Indeed," Chase huffed pulling her upwards. She grabbed unto the railings and was in her balcony immediately."Yeah," She c

Chapter Twenty Smiling so widely, Shelly sat down on the chair that Ace pulled out for her. He sat down on his own seat and clapped his hands twice. A butler stepped out and served them red sparkling wine. He left immediately."Where did he come from?" She asked him referring to the butler that was already gone.Ace smirked mischievously. "Take a wild guess, honey."Shelly groaned. "Don't be like that. He couldn't possibly have come from the cliff.""You never can tell," he winked at her.Shelly ignored him pouring as she took a sip of the red sparkling wine in her glass. It had a velvet taste in her tongue and it was amazing."Mmmh," she moaned savoring the wine. "This is a lovely wine.""Yeah," Ace agreed smiling then added after awhile, "I'm sure you're wondering why I'm out with you."Shelly gulped nervously. "I guess so.""I like you, Shelly," he caressed her palm, "the moment I saw you in that
