TINAKaren and I had been friends for so long. For as long as I could remember. Men always desiring her wasn't a new thing. I was always the invisible one and yes, I felt jealous each time we walked together and men skipped me like a sour doughnut for her. Honestly it did hurt. But I held in and always wished for my own destined man. Not until the man I have always had eyes for fell for her too. And now in just one day I have had three men all approach me for one reason — to help them get my friend. Why don't no one ever see me? Was I a stone? It would have been bearable but to have the man I have had eyes for also ask me for such a thing, it hurt. As I was contemplating on what Collins Morgan said to me, I decided to go up the rooftop to cool off and figure out what path to take. But I was forced to a stop as I heard people talking on the stairs. I hid behind the staircase and listened. From the sound, I figured it was a man and a woman talking and for some reason the man's vo

KAREN Tina was my best friend. She had been my best friend for as long as I could remember. She had been there for me in my tough times and knew me better than anyone else. Infact, she was like family to me. Apart from my dad and Lily, she was the only one that knew me better. So entering the hotel room to meet her alone with Jay greatly surprised me. Although they were not in any suggestive or suspicious positions, still, it felt weird to me.“Ah. I didn't want to tell you first just in case you refused to show up. Chairman Jay here pleaded with me to have you meet him. I will leave you both to talk. See you at home,” she said and left. It made a bit of sense now after she said that and I relaxed. But the realisation hit me when she left and it dawned that I was in the room alone with Jay. Had he asked Tina to call me to speak to me privately so we could make up? My heart lurched. I gathered myself. “You wanted to talk to me. How have you been?” Being alone with him made me re

TINA'S POV Even though I would have preferred to sleep in all day, I couldn't and for an important reason I had to go for the event–Jay would be there. The thought of it excited me. I wore a beige dress that stopped inches from my knees and clung to my body delicately. People had always complimented me each time I wore it. Men Especially. I just knew it was the perfect one to wear. The inbuilt brassier pad lifted my boobs and the slit revealed my cleavage showing morsel of flesh just enough to drive any man crazy at a close range. My phone beeped. I picked it up and saw it was a message from my mom. "Where are you? Why are you not coming home?"As I read it, I could almost hear her yelling at me for coming back without a man. Don't worry mum, I won't come back without a man this time around. Thank you for making me realize I deserve good things too. My aim that day was simply to meet Jay privately after the event. I had only two months. Two months to make him fall in love with

KAREN'S POV Standing before Mrs Connie suddenly felt so choking and just like that, the entire recitation I had done in the elevator evaporated from my head. It reminded me of the first time I was employed and I tried to speak to Jay. Nerve wrecking. I was anxious as hell. To think I was even yet to stand before Jay whom I had come to see. I gathered myself. “Uhm,” I cleared my throat and looked up at her. She had not been entirely mean to me when I was her assistant but it still felt like a nerve wreck trying to speak to her. Or was it the thought of meeting Jay next that stirred my nerves. “Good morning Mrs Connie, I am here to see Chairman Jay,” I said and tried to sound as professional as ever. Just as she had taught me. Her sharp eyes stared past her glasses and landed on me. “Miss Karen Anderson,” she called me in her usual tone.“What business do you have with Chairman Jay? Do you have an appointment?”Before I could speak she already started looking through her jotter lis

KAREN'S POV As I struggled to free myself from Carlos Fowler’s grip, I continued to scream. Even though his hand covered my mouth it didn't stop me from using all of my strength to yell and struggle. He tried to open the door but I kicked it close. He snarled and smacked me hard across my face. I knew that at some point he would still overpower me but I wasn't going to let him do so easily. He shoved me hard against the car. My body throbbed in pain and at that point I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave in. I was already feeling my resistance wilting. He was far much stronger than I was. And there seemed to be no one in sight to help me. As if everyone suddenly decided to not pass the road that night. The breeze that used to be soothing became harsh and I felt myself yielding, my strength failing. Suddenly I heard a thud as if someone was running towards us. Before I would realise what was happening, a twat sounded and I heard Carlos Fowler grunt. His hold on me went
