Deloise headed back to Royal Arts with a dark cloud over her head. She was unusually quiet and her colleagues felt an odd aura around her.Some people interpreted it as pride resulting from her successful filming and snuck disdainful looks at her while others couldn't be bothered to care. Deloise was part of the crew who couldn't be botheredAs the van drove out of the area, her mind returned to the moment she felt the soft lips of Aaron covering hers in a dominating kiss. No matter how many times she replayed the scene in her head, she managed to feel a flutter in her navel which gave her sensations she was apprehensive to figure out.The interesting thing was that every single time, she would replay the events after the kiss and she would feel tears threatening to break out of her eyes. After countlessly going through the unending ritual, one thing was clear to Deloise.She was not okay.She wanted to scream, claw, and wreak havoc on everything around her. She needed to let out the

Esther was in her living room, late in the cool evening, and leisurely watching a program with the lights dimmed. Ever since Karen travelled, she found herself having more nights where she lounged alone, chasing some level of entertainment before she bowed out of the fight in retirement to bed.This night was no different, she relaxed into her chair, at the brink of letting go but was jolted by three successive bangs from the front door. Her eyes flickered to the time, not expecting anyone. She warily stared at the door, wondering what and who was behind it.“ I know you are in there! Open up!” A loud, angry and unfamiliar voice came from the door.Esther felt chilled to the bones. Was she being robbed? She scanned the room for the nearest weapon she could utilize- which ended up being an old flower vase she doubted could inflict a reasonable amount of pain.The door frame rattled at the amount of force exerted on the bangs that followed, her heart fell into the abyss that was her gut

Esther watched Daniel reach over for a spoon, dip it into the batter, then into his mouth. She felt stupefied as he made an open show of how thoroughly he enjoyed licking the batter, forbidden thoughts flashed into her mind-frame.“ oomph..” He groaned and she just might have gone nuts. “ Still my favourite, so fucking perfect.” He cooed, staring her dead in the eye.Was he still talking about the cake? Scratch that, the batter. She blinked and watched him take a couple spoonfuls- THE BATTER!Esther’s eyes widened and she smacked his hands away mid way into the bowl, “Get your filthy hands off my cake!”Daniel stopped for a second, wore a mock-thinking pose, looked her over, then said, “ No.”He took up the bowl from her unsuspecting figure and in one second, took another large spoon of the sweet batter.“ Hey! Drop that!” She yelled, getting offended.“ You know the drill. Come get it.” He responded with a grin.Esther let out an exasperated huff. “ We’re too old for this. Give it ba

After a night at the club, Anna stood by the sidewalk, waiting for a cab back to the hotel. Her satin-thigh-split dress left little to the imagination on a Monday morning. Somehow, despite how blurred her night was, she managed to get out of the club house intact. Unlike people who lost their belongings while in a haze, she got lucky.Grumbling about the chilly weather, she spotted her hotel across the road and mindlessly dashed towards it. Unknown to her, the lights turned red. A black SUV screeched to a stop in front of her. Before the assailant could step out, her sight was spotted and she fell unconscious. In that state, Anna got bundled into the car, headed to the nearest hospital. She felt herself in motion after a few minutes and immediately sat up, eyes aghast. " Who are you? Let me go!" " Sit tight. We're going to the hospital. Do you have a contact? Maybe your mother?" Her abductor said, and she couldn't help but notice his tightened grip.Suddenly, everything returned t

“ Congratulations! Welcome to Evolve.” Doris chorused with a clasped hand. “ I knew you wouldn’t disappoint.” Deloise heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally done. She was finally on her way to becoming something decent. She could sense it. “ Thank you very much. I appreciate your trust and this opportunity.” “ No, thank you.” Doris insisted, “ I’ll communicate the details to you at a later time. I’m guessing you have a shoot this morning?”“ Yes.”“ Great. I’ll catch up with you later. I need to process your contract.” She informed, “ Welcome once again. I promise you won’t regret it.” Doris spoke enthusiastically, waving as she left the dinner.Deloise had a residual smile on her face. She felt excited, the same way she felt when she first landed in New York. One thing was apparent, it felt good to feel wanted, to achieve set goals, to live the life she’s always dreamed of, to see it slowly but surely being manifested. It didn’t take long before she got to the set. Today, she h
