As the piercing sound of her alarm clock filled the room, Michelle slowly opened her eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight filtering into her window, through the thin curtain. She groaned and reached out to hit the snooze button, but her hand missed and hit the off button instead.Realising her mistake, she sat up abruptly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She glanced at her clock and saw that she had overslept by fifteen minutes. Panic set in as she realized she was going to be late for school.But, she didn’t mind. There’s no way she’ll be punished if she’s late. Majestically, she rose from the bed and head to the bathroom to take a clean shower. After putting on her skimpy dress, she head downstairs for breakfast with her school bag behind her. “Good morning mom, good morning dad. Hey sissy” she greeted her family and sat down to eat. “Someone woke up late today” her mother, Mrs Will asked, slicing her bacon. Michelle glared at the maid.“She forgot to wake me up” she had

Trevor’s assistant who was in the passenger seat handed him his tablet. “Here’s the guest list” he said. He took it and glanced at it. “It’s my father’s birthday today. I’d like to go to his party with a surprise” he said, smiling at Michelle. “Where’s the surprise?” Michelle asked, looking around. She thought she would see a box or gift bag. But no, she didn’t. Trevor said.... “You’re the surprise Rose. Drive the car” he ordered. Michelle’s heart starts to beat faster. She doesn’t know where she was going and what Trevor had in mind. His father owned a lot of oil company across the world. He’s the number one oil supplier in the country. He’s popular and very influential. She was going to the party. Few minutes later, they got to the city mall, which was quite empty. It was very unusual. Trevor Stonefield has proven his financial status and booked the whole mall just to get his date ready for his father’s birthday party. The guards behind opened the door for her. Michelle gave

Michelle was tired after working her ass off at the restaurant. She was even thinking of quitting, since the dating job is doing well. She locked the door and dropped her bag as she rushed to the dinning room. Chloe and Kelly saw her and ran to her, hugging her tight. "Oh, my babies. I'm sorry I've not been with you lately. Mummy has been busy"Chloe stretched her tiny hand and touched Michelle's face. "Daddy is with us""And daddy made dinner. Come eat honey" Francis said, holding a pot. He wore the apron on his body without tying it. Michelle smiled. She walked the kids back to the table as they ate. "I didn't know you were such a good cook" she complimented him. "I'm good at everything" he replied and winked. The dinner was going well, till Francis decided to speak again. "So, have you received any call yet? I saw the car that dropped you off through the window" he said. Michelle frowned deeply. She stared at the kids. They were busy eating but, they acted like they didn't

Rose sprung up from the chair, scratching her head. She went closer to Michelle. "Ginny? Like, your sister?" She asked. "Yes, she's the one" Michelle replied. Ginny ran to her sister and wrapped her hands around her. Michelle swiftly broke the hug. "Hey, you can't be here. You shouldn't even be seen with me" she said. "I missed you Michelle. I don't care what mom and dad say, I missed you" Michelle's lips curved into a smile. "I missed you too but..." She tried to speak again but her phone rang. She saw it was from the school. "Oh no" she muttered before answering the call. "You must be Chloe's mother. Report to the school immediately" the person said and disconnected the call. "What happened?" Rose asked her. She saw the look on her face and it wasn't good. "I think something happened at school. I need to go" she said and was about leaving. Ginny followed her behind. "I'm coming with you" she said. "You can't follow me. Go home please""Fine, let me just drop you off an

Slowly, Rose opened her eyes. She groaned softly as she touched her head. She was having a slight headache. She tried to remember how she fainted till she heard someone clearing his throat behind. She turned and saw Frederick. Immediately, she shook in fear and fell on the floor. Her lips shivering in fear. "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you" he said. "How do I know?" She asked, seeing the men with guns. "I'm looking for Rose. Do you know where I can find her?" He asked. Rose furrowed her eyebrows. She remembered Trevor coming to look for Michelle, now... Frederick. "She's not coming today. She quit her job" she said. "Of course, she'll quit after that receiving that money" he mumbled under his breath. Rose didn't hear what he said. "Do you have anything for her?""I'll find her. I'll come back tomorrow. It's Monday, right?" He asked. Rose nodded her head. Frederick sprung up from the chair and touched her hair. "Good girl" he said and left with his men right behind him. She heav
