Everyone who are not close with me will think that Mom is my biological mom but that wasn’t the case. It happened when I was around twelve and when Delle was about nine. Mom and Dad had an argument about work and dad decided to leave the house in order for the two to calm down. Mom decided that she was going to work so as not to think about the argument. Delle and I were left at home alone with Uncle Francis. One minute we were having movie marathon, the next minute, we were in the hospital after learning that mom committed suicide. Dad was inconsolable and it was the hardest thing to explain to Delle that she wasn’t going to see mom again.Dad and So called mom Sophie got together about two years after mom died, I thought I was going to be angry about it but I wasn’t. She took good care of us and was always there for us. To others, Stepmothers were horrible creatures but she was more than anything to me, even though she never attends any celebrations we had or congratulate us, she a

The suspect is said to be involve in both incidents and……….” Amelia turned off the televison before I could finish hearing whatever the presenter was saying.“You need to stop listening to any of the news pertaining to her” She said.“I can’t believe I called her my mom and I can’t believe she was living with us under the same roof for years not knowing she was the reason mom died” I said while crying. I couldn’t stop the tears. “Everything will be fine. She is going to get the punishment she deserves” She said while hugging me. “Am sorry I dragged you into this mess” I said.“Stop apologizing for stuffs you didn’t do. It isn’t your fault that we fell in love and I love the fact that we are together and everything has been sorted out” She said and I smile

We were all staring at each other until Daniel decided to break the silence.“Papi and I wanted to surprise you” He said.“I think it is your parents that surprised us” He said while I coughed. An indication for him not to tease us in front of Daniel.“Did you enjoy the holiday with Papi?” Amelia asked changing the topic and immediately started talking about places that he and Dad visited.“How about you tell me all about it when you take your bath?” Amy asked and he nodded while kissing to me before Amelia took him to his room.“Well, that was a nice surprise you gave us” dad said after they left.“Dad, please enough with the embarrasment”“Well, you guys are definitely moving fast” He continued and I groaned.“Am sorry about Sophie, I didn’t know she is that psychotic, I wouldn’t have leave you two under her care. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that she killed your mom. Am sorry”“It’s okay dad. Everything has been resolved and that’s what matters the most, that Daniel a

Amelia and I had agreed on shopping together. Delle had to tag along complaining about how she needed new clothes, I mean she literally has a wardrobe filled with stuffs she rarely use. Does she really have to add to her collection of things she doesn’t use.“Am planning on buying some clothes, makeup, perfumes and probably underwears” She said to Amy while they walk ahead of me. Do they even realize that we came together?.“So I have like six IKEA bags. Should be enough?”Delle said and I stared at her.“You’re planning on buying stuffs in six IKEA bags?” I asked in an alarming tone while the duo chuckle.“I bought two extra just in case” Delle replied before they enter the store. I am DOOMED.“So I need likean oversized hoodie, crop top, T-shirts probably some jeans like the baggy type and just some normal shirts”Delle listed while Amy nodded before the search began.“Any colour in mind?” Amelia asked.“Hmmmm……let’s see maybe anything with pink, blue, black, orange or white” Delle re

Work was getting more hetic, I was trying to finish all the work I had but I never it could be this much.I was a little bit halfway done when my secretary walked in. Ever since I sacked the last one, I have been wary of who I had to employ and had to employ one of Dad’s former worker Julius. He knew what I needed and was always ahead of me by making sure work is intact and there are no mistakes.“You have a visitor” He informed and I frowned. I wasn’t expecting anybody.“Who is it?” I asked and he said it was Amy and a smile was immediately on my lips.“Let her in” I said and he nodded.“You look stressed” She said immediately she sees my face when she entered.“Work is much” I replied.“How about you take a break and have lunch. I prepared your favorite” She said and I smiled. I missed her.“This tastes heavenly” I said once I had a bite. I needed to finish all my work and have some alone time with her. I needed her. It was as if I am addicted to her, she is my drug.“Are you still

I woke up the next morning with Amelia curled up next to me. Her head was on my shoulders and my hand wrapped around her waist. She was sleeping soundly and even though her hair was a total mess, she still looked very cute sleeping like that. I shifted a little bit in order not to disturb her sleep and her lips.Taking a look at her beautiful face before I finally walked out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to get ready for the day. I finished showering and headed back to the room with a towel wrapped around my waist.“Morning” I said when I see her stretching.“Morning” She replied.“By the way, you look good with those marks.”I said while referring to her neck. She immediately got up and sprinted to the bathroom before running back to the bedroom.“Did you really have to go to this extent. It look as if I had been run over” She said and I smiled.“This only mean that I did a good job and no one will dare look at you” I said and she scoffed before grabbing a towel and going to

Delle and Amy are having a girls night which means in the one hour or even thirty minutes, the boys will be here. Amy and I came back from Paris last week along with Daniel and Dad. Dad had work he had to do and decided to come along with us. He grabbed Daniel two days after we arrived talking about how he needed to spend more time with his grand child before he travels back. The man is obessessed with Daniel.“The main man in the building”Scott yelled when he entered the building alongside Jeremy who seems to be in a bad mood by the way.“Why do you always have to be in a bad mood anytime we meet?” I asked.“Remember when you one particular person said I can’t meet my one night stand again” He said while giving both of us the dath stares.“Yeah…..What happened?” I asked.“Well……He works for my dad” He answered and we both burst out laughing.“This is seriously not funny. You should have seen my reaction when I realize that he is working for my dad. I couldn’t even say a word. Do I

JER’S POVThe boys and I were at it drinking all through the night… I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and immediately turned it off. My head hurts....How long were we drinking for.....Am never following either Ethan or Scott to a club again...I turn over to see him Aaron, his hair is in a mess but he still managed to look hot and ravishing at the same time. How did I end up here?. All I remember was trying to get Scott away from where he was beeing beaten, even though the stupid guy clearly wanted to prove that he can fight, he wasn’t in a clear state of mind or position to. We were about when someone came over to us..................................FLASHBACK.................“Hey pretty boy" Aaron said.“Leave me alone.

I didn’t know what to do. Amelia birthday was in two weeks and I have no idea what to give to her as a birthday. We have been together for over four months now and it has been the best months of my life. I wanted to give her the best birthday gift but am out of ideas.“How about a birthday party?” Scott asked.“He said a gift, why do you always have to be this stupid?” Jer asked.“Can we just focus on the issue at hand?”I asked knowing that the duo are more than likely to start a fight.“Fine, just because you need my help” Scott said.I decided to call Amelia before leaving Jer’s house but she wasn’t picking up. I called and ask Delle if she was with her but she said she had gone home long ago.I was close to the house and I noticed that the lights were turn off, this is so unlike Amelia, she always leave the front lights on. I was about opening the front door when Samantha came running out.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“No sir”“What happened?” I asked having a feeling that I

One moment I was that she was safe, the next moment she was on the floor in a pool of her own blood.A scream leaves my lips when I see her drop yo the ground, memories came rushing back, the phone call, Uncle Francis yelling at me for being a failure, Sophie threatening to kill Amy.“Ethan” Her voice was faint.“Don’t speak, Amy. Am sorry it took me long to remember you. Am sorry. I have to stop the blood. I can- I can” I said as I look around but I couldn’t focus on anything as the tears keeps coming up. I can’t lose her. “I have to stop it”.I ripped off my sleeve and press it on her wound. “You are not going to die. You will not die. You can’t leave me alone.” I kept chanting the words over and over again but my tears were betraying me.“Ethan I-I-” Blood gushed out of the corner of her mouth as she coughed.“Shh babe shh” I said as I was trembling with sobs and ran my hands through her hair.“Shh, you are going to be okay.” I assured and she gave a weak smile.I heards sirens fr
