Cordelia tried so hard to hold back her tears as she walked home back from school. The weight of her emotions pressed heavily on her shoulders, making each step feel more laborious than the last. "Get it together, girl," she whispered to herself, sniffling and trying to regain her composure. Her journey from school to home would take up to an hour on foot, but she welcomed the solitude and the opportunity it provided to clear her head. As Cordelia walked, memories of her family and friends flashed through her mind, offering a fleeting sense of comfort in the midst of her current situation. 'I'm so tired. If anyone had ever said I'd go through something like this, I'd have probably laughed it off. But look at me now, moving from frying pan to fire,' Cordelia thought to herself silently, her thoughts filled with weariness and disbelief. Lost in her thoughts, Cordelia suddenly noticed a car had stopped by her side, interrupting her train of thought. Her instincts kicked in, and she q

Cordelia sat on the edge of her bed, her heart pounding in her chest as the weight of uncertainty bore down on her the following morning.‘How was I able to fall asleep?’ She uttered silently.The unexpected visit from an unknown person yesterday, claiming to be her friend, had stirred up a storm of fear and apprehension within her.‘If it was McKayla, I’m sure that she would have come upstairs. Only McKayla and David know my house.’ She uttered silently.‘Could it be David?’ Cordelia said with a confused look on her face.“No, it can’t be. I doubt he even still has my address.” Cordelia said to herself in a low tone. Immediately, Cordelia picked up her phone and tried calling McKayla.Fortunately, her phone rang.“Hello McKayla.”“Cordelia, we don’t meet until 11:00 AM, this is just 10:00 AM.”“Oh no, no, I’m not calling about that. Were you here yesterday? Did you come to my house?” Cordelia asked, pacing back and forth in her bedroom.“No I didn’t. I was very busy yesterday. Why?

Jared sat down on the chair beside the big white bed and spoke again.“Let’s get down to business Cordelia. We have no time to waste.” With a sheepish smile brewing on his face.“Jared please.” Cordelia said with her head lowered, but Jared gave no response.After that moment of silence, Cordelia started off by taking off her shoes as Jared stared at her.She removed the left arm of her gown strap and proceeded to remove the other one. Tears were almost already running down her eyes as she was undressing.Suddenly, she heard Jared say, “stop.”“Please stop.”“Stop Cordelia.”Jared was really not going to have anything to do with her.At least, not now. “Wear your clothes properly and put your shoes back on.” Immediately, she asks him, like a child that thinks she has done something wrong. “Is this not what you wanted? Is this not what you had me brought here for?” However, Jared stared at Cordelia, this time too, with no response. Suddenly, he stands up and walks out of the room le

Adeena was Jared’s sister. Jared’s only sister. But he lost her to the cold hands of death and unruly behavior.Adeena had everything that she could possibly ask for, except the presence of her parents. They had thought that if they gave her all that she asked for, she’d be satisfied.But with the way they gave and satisfied her, she fell into the wrong hands. The type of hands that Cordelia has seemingly fallen into.According to Adeena, she had found love in the eyes of one Brian Ecknar. She had fallen in love. But this fall was too hard, and the pit was so deep that it became a grave.In Brian’s mind, all he could think of was how he had hit the jackpot of being with the daughter of a rich man. Oh, Brian was ready to risk it all to have all that she had.So, from hard drugs, to hardcore sex, to threesomes, he exploited her, and she followed him like a sheep looking for pastures. Adeena followed him around to feel loved.The love that she was seemingly not getting from home, and Br

Suddenly, Cordelia’s phone rang, and as she turned the screen, she realized that it was McKyala.“I need to get going now Jared. I’d see you at school, or when next I’m supposed to come here. Thank you so much for helping me out.”There was a tingling feeling in Jared’s heart. One that he had been trying to avoid. Love.Jared never thought he was going to fall in love with Cordelia.The sole purpose of doing what he was doing was to avenge his sister’s death.“No. No. No. No. This can’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening. Jared said as he retreated to his seat. I can’t possibly be falling in love with her.” Jared said as he laughed at himself mockingly.“Where have you been Cordelia? I’ve been calling you. The driver said he dropped you off a few meters away from Jared’s house. So where did you go to?”“Ohhh did you go back to meet Jared? Was the sex that good?” McKayla said with a cunning look on her face.”“Yes, McKayla, the sex was that good. He drilled me so hard, and so b
