Some time back when jewel and Jana were sixteen years old, Jana had insisted on going to a birthday party. It was going to be a grand one. all the cool kids at school were going to attend. Jana had talked about it and planned so much for weeks. She had thought about the perfect shoes that would go with the perfect top and adorned with very nice accessories. Jewel had heard about it too. However,she was not invited. There was no one in her circle of friends who had access to the party. Definitely they would not be invited since they were considered as the “nerds”. Jewel had secretly wished that Jana would invite her but she was too optimistic for her own good. Jana would not invite Jewel probably because she didn't want things to be all about Jewel or bring her to spot light. Jewel somehow had an attractive force that compelled people to like her. Alpha Marcus had not really been concerned about the party. He knew too well that Jana could be rough and would clean up her own mess if she

James stood in front of the well known “ Detroit club' he had heard so much about it. It was not a club for any ordinary man. It was was explicit elites. Here he was about to come face to face with Miguel the man whose name never left the lips of men who spent their time in the casino. He was not ruthless but he was cunning. He had the most inviting offers and yet the right tricks up his sleaves to take everything away from you. He was yet to decide what he would give Miguel in return but he was still convinced that he would be able to get help from him. There was a bouncer at the entrance of the club. He was well built with a stern look. The bouncer did not move till James approached him. “What do you want” said the bouncer. “i want to see Miguel "replied James. The bouncer said nothing. He observed James from the crown of his head to the soul of his feet and then said” what business do you have with him”. James had sweat running down the corner of his face. He had expected interrog

James had spent hours on his way back rehearsing how he would lie to Jewel. He would look serious and would not allow his eyes give him away. Now he stood in front of Jewel speechless and fidgety. He thought he had it all planned out but he was so wrong. It could have been as a result of the consciousness he had that Jewel trusted him so much or his knowledge of how wrong it was to lie to a friend. It was not his wish to get involved in Miguel's messy games but he had no choice. He was going to tell her the truth and hope that she understood. Jewel would just have to see reasons with him. It was against her principles and moral ethics but he hoped that she would ignore these principles this one time. “Pardon me, you look exhausted please come in”said Jewel ushering James into her house. It looked better than the last time he had seen it. He remembered well when he had insisted on paying her a visit, she had not approved of it but after much persuasion, she allowed him to come over. She

“I am so sorry,it won't happen again” jewel tried to apologize when Micah came into the room. She did not see the exact reason why she was apologizing but she felt that it was right to do so.“You did nothing wrong dear. It is fine” said Micah as he held her in an embrace. “Now where were we” he said grinning.“I should take you out today”“Where are we going to?““Where ever you wish to go to” he replied as he sniffed her neck.“I always have the urge to remark you when ever we are together and during intimacy. You smell sweet my darling” complemented Micah and it made Jewel to blush. “It has been a long day Micah, you should rest”. She said disentangling from him. It was too much for her. Every touch and every affection he showed her made sparks fly and made her feel butterflies in her stomach. Just as she was about leaving, Micah caught hold of her hands and brought her close to himself again.“where do you think you are going to? I am not done with you my princess”. He said caressi

She could not find any vehicle leading to the train station so she decided to walk some distance. It was a risk because her father or someone who knew her well might see her but she still chosed to walk. She had this feeling that she would come across someone she knew but she hoped that it would not be her father. It was getting late now and the last thing she wanted was to sleep in NYC. She finally got a cab and she waved her hands to indicate for the vehicle to stop. It did and she got in. There was a familiar face inside the cab. It took her time to remember who it was but when it hit her,it came as as a shock. He was the least person she had expected to see. There had been very little communication between them and after her mother died, she had not heard from him.“Henry "she called out. The young man did not recognise her at first but he soon did and gave her a warm smile.“ Jewel is it really you?,where have you been?““ it is a long story” she replied.“I heard about everything
