31: The middle woman

Audrey's POVI walked slowly with a smile on my face towards the school building. I flipped my hair behind me as my heels clicked loudly. My driver was walking behind me holding an umbrella to shield my head. It had rained heavily last night but it was still drizzling till this morning. "Have a nice day ma'am," he said politely as we reached the school entrance. I headed inside and spotted Nicole. Her eyes widened when she saw me. I waved at her and she hurriedly walked towards me."Audrey, you left school quite early yesterday," she said as we held hands and did our usual air pecks."I know right? I had a terrible headache and I had to leave," I replied."I'm so sorry about that darling. Are you okay now?" she asked. I nodded with a smile."I'm completely fine," I assured her. She glanced around us rapidly. She only did that when she had juicy gossip to share. "You missed a lot after you left early yesterday," she started. I knew it."Really? What did I miss?" I asked curiously."I

32: Father and son arguments

Owen's POVI got back home from school and used the back door. I made sure no one was watching before hurriedly making my way up to my room."And where do you think you are going to?" my dad asked, halting me in my steps. The exact person I was trying to avoid caught me eventually. Just where does he always pop out from? I was very sure he wasn't there when I entered."To my room," I replied bluntly."Don't you fucking dare play dumb with me? Where have you been?" he asked angrily. From his tone, he was very angry."School. Where else would I be coming from?" I responded. "Great then. You would be in the best position to explain this to me," he said, dropping something that clattered loudly on the table. I turned around and my gaze met with him, as expected he was fuming with anger. I took a look at the cell phone he had thrown on the table. The video of Nolan and I fighting stared back at me."It's obvious what is happening in that video, what else would I need to explain?" I asked

33: Exciting news for all

Genevieve's POVI got to school very late today. I overslept and missed the school bus. I had no other choice than to order a cab which took a long time to arrive. As soon as he dropped me off, I ran through the hallway as fast as I could, afraid that I might have missed the morning classes. "Genevieve," I heard Jade's voice call out to me. I stopped running instantly, panting slightly, I glanced around the hallway searching for her. My eyes met hers. She was standing alongside Audrey and Matt. They waved at me with a smile on their faces. I headed towards them."Good morning Gen..." Andrea started in a chirpy voice."Good morning guys. What's going on? Did I miss all the morning classes already? Why are you all outside? I was certain I was just a little bit late...""Whoa! Gen? Take a deep breath and calm down. Why are you panicking so much?" Jade asked curiously. Andrea dabbed my forehead with her handkerchief."Why are you sweating so much? Did you run a marathon?" she inquired."

34: Compromise and restrictions

Genevieve's POVI barely got through the rest of the school day and I was glad when it finally ended. All I wanted was to go home and curl into a ball but I had to go for my part-time job. This was the first time I didn't feel excited going over to Betty's diner. The bus finally stopped and we got down. Only Jade and I had a shift today."Are you okay?" Jade asked in a worried tone as we walked in and picked up our uniforms."Of course. Why won't I be?" I responded."I don't know. You look out of it today. You are moody and aren't your usual self," she said. I forced a smile."It's nothing like that. I'm completely fine," I assured her even though I was far from it."Okay then," she replied. We changed into our uniforms and started work for the day. Betty, the owner's daughter, and Jade were behind the counter making the drinks, the chefs were behind making food whilst another girl took the orders and served them. Even though it was a small restaurant, it was always bustling with acti

35: Something was wrong

Nolan's POVI stared at her retreating in surprise. She didn't speak rudely or stubbornly today but there was something about her that was different. I just didn't know what it was. She looked...lost."Boss, that girl is so rude. Why do you still tolerate her?" Tyler asked."Because I want her," I replied absent-mindedly."But why her? There are so many girls in this school and beyond who would do anything just to get noticed by you. Why don't you choose from one of them like you used to?" he inquired."That's the billion-dollar question. Why her? I have no idea either," I popped the gum loudly in my mouth before I resumed walking."How can you want someone and you don't know why? Does that make any sense?" he whispered to Jackson."What do we know Tyler? These are matters of the heart that should be treated with utmost care. Our boss's heart is troubled and all we can hope for is that he finds peace...""Stop speaking nonsense. I can hear you loud and clear," I said."I can sniff out

36: Heart-heart conversation

Genevieve's POVI stared at them in surprise. We closed up school a while ago. What were they doing here instead of going to their various homes? Nolan looked like a deer caught in the highlight. They were all acting extremely suspiciously."Gen, you are back," Andrea said with a smile."Obviously," I replied, walking towards the kitchen to drop my shopping bags. I came back to the living room and met them all standing. Nolan kept glancing around the room. My guess was he did that because he didn't want to make eye contact with me. Andrea was smiling wildly, but that was because she didn't want me to know what she was thinking about."Are you leaving already?" I asked with my arms crossed, leaning against the wall and watching them."Yes, we came to see you about something, but everything is fine now. We don't need to speak to you anymore. Right guys?" Nolan asked.I raised a brow. Guys? Since when did they all get so close? Last I remember, they feared him."Right," Jade agreed. Matt

37 : Well-thought-out plans

Audrey's POV"Pack up everything I touched," I ordered the sales girl as I sat back down and sipped from the glass of wine offered to me."Everything?" she asked, her eyes wide open in surprise."Every single thing. Did I stutter?" I inquired."That would mean packing up half of the store's clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories. I just wanted to be sure ma'am," she replied. I dropped my glass and leaned into the chair with my legs crossed. "Sure about what?" I asked."Everything costs about a fortune. I wanted to be certain you could pay for it so we don't end up wrapping it for nothing," she responded with her head bowed. I stood up from the chair abruptly and walked towards her."Did you just question my order?" I asked in disbelief. She shook her head."Raise your head this instant. Don't make me repeat myself," I ordered angrily. She raised her head and I slapped her hard instantly. She held her cheek with a gasp of shock."Get the manager right now!" I yelled at my driver. "Yes

38: Failed plans

Nolan's POV"I'm here!" I heard Audrey scream out excitedly from the living room. I was done getting ready for the airport. I picked up my phone and fastened my wristwatch before stepping out."Nolan, where are you?" she asked. I was just about to reply when she appeared in front of me."Oh, there you are," she said with a smile as she ran to embrace me. "Why are you so happy?" I asked with an amused smile as we headed toward the living room together."It's been such a long time since I went on a trip," she furrowed her brows before I could speak. "Before you inform me that we went on a trip during the school break, I know that but it's been a month since then and I've been really stressed lately. This is my opportunity to unwind and relax," she finished with a contented sigh. I started to walk towards the door."Am I too early?" she inquired. I shook my head."No, I was just about to leave for the airport. Why didn't you just meet me there instead of coming all the way here?" I aske

39: Repaying debts

Owen's POV"Who instructed you to bring us here?" I heard Genevieve asking."I can't say miss. My boss will have to tell you himself," the air hostess replied. "Who the hell is your boss? You know this is kidnapping, right? A punishable offense by the law. You will go to jail with your boss if I report this," she threatened angrily. My lips twitched in amusement at how angry she sounded. Her angry tone amused me."Gen, you don't have to be so angry. I mean take a look at where we are," one of her female friends said. I paid close attention to their conversation. I was behind them in one of the rooms but they couldn't see me."What do you mean by that?" she asked, I could detect that she was frowning from the tone of her voice. I couldn't see them either but I could hear them loud and clear. I had already decided that I won't be coming for the trip partly because I thought it would be a waste of time no matter how hard people tried to convince me otherwise but mainly because I overhea

40: An entirely different place

Nolan's POV"What the hell is this?" I asked in disbelief, removing my sunglasses to get a better view of where we were. We had just arrived from the airport, and now they were telling us we had to cross over on a boat. We had never had to cross with a boat before. What happened to the luxurious car I had ordered to take me to my hotel?"We were asked to escort all of you safely across the water," the person in charge of the boat said."Why? This isn't the way to the hotel," Audrey replied. She turned towards me. "Am I wrong? Is it just me, or is this path entirely different from the ones we used to take?" she inquired."Of course it's different. Can't you see all the tall trees?" I responded."Maybe this path is safer than the ones we used to take, and the hotel could just be behind those trees. They must have grown taller since the last time we were here. It's been a while," Nicole said."Are you dumb, or are you just stupid? The two places look nothing alike," Audrey said out of ir
