    ¡°The heck Ivan, when the fuck are you gonna get yourself a real girlfriend and stop all these shits you¡¯re doing around, huh? You¡¯re fucking getting old, can¡¯t you see that man? You¡¯re twenty eight for fuck sake, and yet no girlfriend, not even nning on having one anytime soon, are you nning on giving me blood pressure?¡± My younger sister, Nora rants, pacing in my room angrily.


    Gosh she¡¯s so annoying, always trying to boss me around. She¡¯s just five years younger than me, but she acts like she¡¯s my elder sister, fuck!, she¡¯s so annoying, always forcing me to do things, and never cease to frustrating me. She¡¯s the only family I have after we lost mom and dad to a car ident a few years ago, so I love her so much, and hurting her is thest thing on my mind.


    ¡°I will do that mom, just be calmed with me please.¡± I teased, as I arranged my cor, and sprayed perfume on my body, before turning to face her with that cute smile that always melts people¡¯s hearts.


    She scoffed and rolled her eyes angrily.


    ¡°How about I arrange a blind date for you Ivan?, you see, this whole shit is driving me crazy, like fuck! Take a look at your friends, especially that annoying Alex guy, he has a girlfriend, and alot more of your friends, but you, I don¡¯t even know what your problem is, you always wanna give me an attack.¡± She suggested, and slumped on my bed, like a frustrated mom she¡¯s not.


    This girl can be so crazy, what the heck!, arrange a blind date for me?, but wait, that isn¡¯t a bad idea, right?


    ¡°I¡¯ll think about that sweetheart. And don¡¯t worry sweet, I¡¯ll get a girlfriend real soon, ok?¡± I winked at her, smiling warmly.


    She scoffed and rolled her eyes.


    I sighed then took her hands into mine, and gave them a tender caress, before looking into her eyes.


    ¡°Cmon baby sis, don¡¯t give me that look, ok? I promise, I¡¯ll do that as soon as possible, don¡¯t be mad at me mom.¡± I teased, as I pinched her cheek.


    She smiled warmly.


    ¡°That¡¯s my baby, brother is ready to go to work, make sure to be a good girl, eat something, and don¡¯t forget to make me a good delicacy before I return.¡± I said, and ruffled her hair yfully.


    ¡°Stop that, you¡¯re messing my hair.¡± She rolled her eyes, as she pped my hand away from her head yfully.


    I chuckled lightly, as I grabbed my phone from the bed, and kissed her forehead, before finally leaving the room.


    Let me introduce myself, I¡¯m Ivan Romero, a twenty eight years old handsome dude, a citizen of America, residing in Chicago with my younger sis, who happen to be my mom. Everything about me is perfect, blessed with cute alluring lips, whichdies die to have a taste of, a thick brown hair, which has my favorite style, clinging to my head, with strands covering on of my grey eyes. I¡¯m the center of attraction wherever I go.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    I¡¯m a swimmer in one of the popr swimming team in Chicago, I¡¯m not earning so much money from swimming, just doing it for passion but presently, there¡¯s gonna be a national swimming Olympic contest between Chicago  and China, so I¡¯m one of the contestants, if I eventually win, then I¡¯ll be very wealthy, I will finally be able to give my little sister, the kind of life she deserves. There¡¯s another secret you need to know about me, I¡¯m a part-time boyfriend to anyone who¡¯s ready for the contract. I¡¯ve made so much money from the job, which I used to buy house, a car, and taking care of my sis, to make sure she doesn¡¯tck anything.


    Stepping out of my mansion, I walked straight to the parking lot, and hopped in on my only car, which happen to be a red sport car, before zooming out of the house, and hit the road with my crazy driving skill. Right now, I¡¯m going to one of my client¡¯s office, to seal a deal with her, and act as her boyfriend. I¡¯ll soon quit this shit though, I don¡¯t want Nora to have me killed with frustration.


    After driving for what seemed like forever, I finally got to the estate, and drove straight into thepound, where there were so many expensive cars parked at the parking lot. I wore my sunss, and my face cap, before stepping out of the car, after which I walked straight to the entrance door, where two men on suit, were standing at the doorway.


    ¡°Hello!¡± I greeted with a straight face.


    They scanned me with their eyes from head to toe, before one of them stretched forth his hand, ignoring my greeting.


    I tilted my head confusingly, not understanding what he wanted.


    ¡°Your ID card.¡± The other spoke up.


    I quickly nodded and brought out my ID card from my pocket, before showing it to him, after which they opened the door for me, and I walked in elegantly.


    I walked briskly to the elevator, and pressed the button, after some seconds, the door opened, and I walked in, waiting for the door to close, and in split seconds, the door closed, and I pressed the 5th button, before waiting patiently for it to do its work.


    The elevator stopped moving after a few seconds, and the door opened, before I stepped out and walked elegantly to the reception.


    ¡°Hi!¡± I greeted the receptionist, who was engrossed in pressingputer.


    She raised her gaze to look at me, and a smile settled on her face.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± She asked with a seductive smile on her lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to see miss Becky.¡± I said, ignoring her smiles. I¡¯m here for business, else she would¡¯ve had it from me.


    She smiled and motioned for me to follow her, as she left the counter, and started leading me to God knows where.


    She took different turns, till she got to a hallway, and stopped in front of one of the doors, before turning to face me.


    ¡°Her office.¡± She said with a sheepish smile on her face.


    I nodded, before giving her a signal to leave already.


    She nodded and walked away.


    Letting out a small sigh, I arranged my cor again, and arranged my hair, which were still intact, before cing a soft knock on the door.


    ¡°Who is there?¡± Came a feminine voice from inside.


    ¡°It¡¯s me Ivan.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Come in.¡± Came her voice.


    I was weed with the back view of ady, wearing a red short gown, which stopped before her knee line¡­

 Confused

    IVAN POV CONT.


    Stepping into the office after she ushered me in, I was weed with the back view of ady, dressed in red beautiful short gown, which stopped before her knee lines, a pair of red heeled shoes, which seemed to be six or seven inches long, were fitted on her feet, her dress was clinging to her body, bringing out her sexy shape, and finally, her brown long curly hair, were cascading down her shoulders. She was looking out of the window.


    ¡°Hi.¡± I said simply, as I stopped walking.


    She turned slowly to face me, and that was when her face became visible. She has a long V shaped face, a pointed nose, a small lips, a pair of grey eyes. She looked like she¡¯s in her mid forties.


    ¡°Wow, this is crazy, she¡¯s older.¡± I said inwardly. I don¡¯t do older women, and here she is. Gosh!


    She walked majestically to her seat, and sat down, before crossing her legs, after which she beckoned on me to take a seat.


    I nodded and went to sit on the visitor¡¯s chair opposite her, waiting for her to start the conversation.


    She scanned me with her eyes, like she was trying to see through something, before raising her gaze to look at me, with a smirk on her face.


    ¡°You look more handsome than what I saw on picture, I must confess it.¡± She said with a seductive smile on her face.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I said simply, feeling ufortable.


    An awkward silence filled the atmosphere, as none of us talked.


    ¡°Well, I heard you do a part-time boyfriend stuff?¡± She said, more like in a question.


    I nodded.


    ¡°Ok this is it, I¡¯ll go straight to the point. There¡¯s apany I wanna bond with, and the CEO happen to be celebrating his birthday in three days time, so there¡¯s no entry without a boyfriend, that¡¯s why I need you.¡± She exined.


    I scoffed inwardly, as I looked at her. Like heck!, how does she even expect me to do that shit with her?, can¡¯t she fucking look for someone else to do that for her?, ande to think of it, why¡¯s she not married at this age?


    ¡°One of my bouncers will take you shopping tomorrow, so you¡¯ll get some nice clothes to wear for the party. Send your ount details to the number in the card, and expect your pay tonight.¡± She said, as she brought out a card from her bag, and dropped it on the desk before me.


    I stared down at the card for seconds, before raising my gaze to meet hers.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am, but I¡¯m not interested.¡± I said, and stood up, ready to go.


    ¡°What if I pay ten million dors?¡± Her voice sound through.


    I stopped in my track, and clenched my fist, as I closed my eyes briefly, processing what she said. Ever since I¡¯ve been into this business, I¡¯ve never taken any money more than five million dors before, and here I am, being offered ten million dors. I quickly did some calctions in my head, and fuck!, the money will go a very long way for me. I can finally buy at least a not too expensive car for Nora.


    ¡°Additional of five million dors.¡± Her voice snapped me out of my thoughts.


    My eyes widened in shock and disbelief, as my mouth dropped opened. It¡¯s very obvious she¡¯s in need of something else, not just this contract stuff, but that isn¡¯t necessary for now, I need to grab this opportunity, before it passes me by.


    Turning to face her, I found her still in her sitting position, with her legs crossed, and her fingers sped together on the desk, as she looked up at me calmly, waiting for my reply.


    ¡°Do we have a deal?¡± She asked calmly.


    Without no choice, I nodded in affirmation, as a smile crept its way to her face.


    ¡°Ok then, make sure to send your details to the phone number there, and expect your pay tonight.¡± She said in conclusion.


    I stared at her for seconds, before picking the card from the desk, after which I left her office, and drove straight to Kay¡¯s empire, where I work with one of the swimming teams.


    Stopping my car at the parking lot, I alighted, and walked briskly inside, waving at the receptionist, who were busy smiling at me. I got to the natatorium, where I met our coach, Mr Rooney, and my other swimming mates, who were already in their swimming trunk.


    ¡°Yo! Look who we have here.¡± My buddy, Alex said, as soon as he sighted me walked in.


    I smiled, and went to give him a side hug, and we did our usual handshake, before I exchanged greetings with others.


    ¡°Is he the only one here?¡± My crazy buddy, Jeff rolled his eyes, as he stretched his hands flexibly.


    I chuckled and hit his chest yfully.


    ¡°Cmon buddy, don¡¯t be a jealous freak.¡± I teased.


    ¡°Hey Ivan, what¡¯s up, we haven¡¯t been seeing you here, is everything ok?¡± Our coach asked with concern.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine coach, just needed to fix some things, but trust me, I¡¯ll be with you very soon.¡± I crossed my heart yfully.


    He chuckled as he nodded, before turning to face one of the swimmers, whom he was giving instructions to.


    ¡°You look disturbed man, what¡¯s up?¡± Alex asked, facing me with curiosity in his face.


    Letting out a sigh, I ced my hands on my waist, contemting on whether to tell him or not. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m doing the right thing now, epting miss Becky¡¯s offer, but I really need the money, and telling Alex won¡¯t help matter at all, coz he¡¯ll sureugh at me, and tell me that I¡¯m being stupid, for not epting it wholeheartedly, and thinking about it, but I really need someone to talk to. He¡¯s the only one that knows about my dirty work, and he¡¯s always there for me, whenever I needed help.


    He stretched his hands flexible above his head, and doing some exercise.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Alex have always been my childhood friend, who always got my back, each time any problem arise, whether big or small, and I really love him. He¡¯s like a brother to me, that¡¯s why I don¡¯t keep anything from him, he knows almost all my secrets.


    ¡°Alex, I got a new contract with one miss Becky, but I¡¯m having a hard timeing to a conclusion.¡± I finally said, as we both went to sit on the long bench beside the pool.


    ¡°What¡¯s the problem man?¡± He asked sarcastically.


    I calmed down and exined everything to him.


    He gave me a funny look for seconds, before bursting intoughter. Gosh, I know it¡¯s gonna turn out this way, such an annoying jerk he is.


    ¡°Forget it man, I know you¡¯re gonna do this.¡± I scoffed dismissively.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind me man, but seriously, that¡¯s crazy, how could you even¡­¡±


    ¡°Alex, over here¡­¡±

 Overprotective

    ¡°Alexe over here.¡± Coach¡¯s voice sounded through, cutting me off.     ¡°I gotta go man, let¡¯s talk about itter, ok?¡± He pat my shoulder, before walking over to coach.     Letting out a sigh, I bade them goodbye, before walking out of the ce, and straight to the parking lot, after which I hopped in on my car, and drove off crazily.     The sound of my ringing phone forced my gaze off the road, and as I picked it up with my right hand, while my left hand was on the steering wheel, a hiss escaped my lips, as I checked the caller ID, and found out it was one of my flings. I have too many flings, I mean, what do you expect from a handsome dude like me?, I can¡¯t possibly be so crazy, to settling down with ady, right?     Letting out a scoff, I dropped the phone and pressed the bluetooth, which was fixed in my ear.     ¡°Hey babe, I¡¯ve missed you so much, where are you?¡± Mia¡¯s annoying voice came on.     ¡°I¡¯m driving, can we talkter?¡± I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes angrily at nothing. I mean, why the fuck is she disturbing my line?     ¡°Ok babe. I¡¯ll call youter, I love you.¡± She whined.     I rolled my eyes and pressed the bluetooth again, before increasing the speed, my gaze fixated on the road, as my hands did magic on the steering wheel.     After driving for minutes, I finally arrived Lucy¡¯s bar, where one of my friends works as a waiter.     Stepping into the bar, all eyes were on me, as thedies couldn¡¯t help, but drool over me, with pure lust on their faces, and trust me, I wouldn¡¯t leave here without having one of them.     ¡°Yo man!¡± I smiled, as I walked to the counter, where Audrey, my friend was arranging drinks on a tray.     ¡°Look who we have here. My workaholic buddy that¡¯s always busy is finally here to see me after so many months, bet I¡¯ll have loads of surprises today.¡± He said excitedly, as he shook hands with me.     ¡°That¡¯s not funny Audrey, you know I¡¯m always busy, so don¡¯t me me for noting to see you for so long, and stop exaggerating man, it¡¯s not been so long since Ist saw you, I remembereding herest two weeks.¡± I rolled my eyes.     He chuckled and excused himself, before taking the tray to serve one of their customers. This dude is really trying, working here, and people ordering him around like he¡¯s some ve, fuck that, I can¡¯t tolerate that shit.     ¡°Hey handsome.¡± I heard a voice behind me.     Turning to see where the voice came from, I was weed with two deep blue eyes, which were as sexy as anything. I shifted my eyes from hers, and looked at her whole face, she has a long red hair, which were falling freely over her shoulders.     ¡°Hey.¡± I said simply, but seductive enough to sweep her off her feet.     ¡°You¡¯re heavenly cute I must say. Anyways, I¡¯m Lilian Sanchez, you?¡± She smiled sweetly, as she held out her hand to me for a handshake.     I shed a smile and took her hand in mine, but retracted almost immediately. I hate being intodies in public, so no one would mistake us for some shits.     ¡°Thanks for thepliment, I¡¯m Ivan Romero.¡± I said with the most seductive smiles ever.     ¡°So can I have your contact?, maybe we can hang out some other time, I wouldn¡¯t mind grabbing a drink with Mr handsome.¡± She said seductively, as she winked at me.     ¡°Sure.¡± I smiled wryly, as I held out my hand to her.     She smiled and ced her phone on my palm.     I inputted my number, and gave it back to her.     ¡°Alright thanks alot, I¡¯ll call youter.¡± She said, before walking away, wiggling her ass.     ¡°Hey man.¡± Audrey called my attention.     I turned to see him leaning on the counter, with his palm supporting his chin.     ¡°Thatdy, she¡¯s a big fish.¡± He winked at me.     I nced back at the Lilian girl, who was busy discussing with her friends, and peeking at me with a smile on her face, before turning to face Audrey again.     ¡°Who¡¯s she?¡± I asked.     ¡°Senator Sanchez daughter.¡± He whispered to my, and I mouthed an ¡®oh¡¯.     ¡°Yo, so what¡¯s up man, it¡¯s been a while man. How have you been?¡± I asked with a smile on my face, changing the topic.     ¡°Nothing much buddy, just struggling to make a living here. So tell me, how have you been coping with your swimming stuff?¡± He asked, curiosity clear in his tone.     ¡°Cool with it, just that I¡¯ve been busy with some thingstely, that I haven¡¯t gotten enough time to go for training.¡± I replied with a sigh.     ¡°You don¡¯t have to joke with your training man, remember you gat contesting in a few months, and you have to get yourself prepared, both physically, emotionally, and psychologically.¡± He scolded.     ¡°Now you¡¯re sounding like my sister, so annoying. Do I look like a baby, that can¡¯t take care of myself? Snap out of that man, I know all of that, and I¡¯m still working towards it.¡± I rolled my eyes.     He scoffed and stood erect.     ¡°Speaking of your sister, how¡¯s that damsel?¡± He smirked foolishly.     ¡°You will never cease to be crazy. I¡¯ve told you to stay away from my sis, so why the fuck are you asking of her?¡± I feigned annoyance. I know he has a crush on my sister, coz he had spoken to me about it sometime ago, and I told him to get rid of that feelings. I¡¯m notfortable with the two of them being together, maybe because I¡¯m overprotective of her or because I don¡¯t trust my friend enough. I¡¯ve been with them almost all my life, we¡¯re partners in doing dirty things, which includes sleeping around withdies and all that, so how can I trust my sister¡¯s heart with someone like that? I know you may say that what about thedies I do sleep with, don¡¯t they have brothers and all that, but fuck that, that¡¯s their business, I¡¯m talking about my sister here, the only family I have, the only reason why I¡¯m doing dirty things to raise money to give her a good life.     ¡°Cmon man, you know I have a big crush on your sister, and it¡¯s already turning to love, why saying that, huh?¡± He rolled his eyes.     ¡°Snap out of that Audrey, I told you to stay away from her, things can¡¯t work between you two.¡± I said, trying to control the sudden anger, trying to take over me.     ¡°Why?, is it because I am not wealthy enough?¡± He scoffed, obviously hurt.     ¡°This is not about wealth, you¡¯re a bloody flirt man!¡±¡­

 Screwed

    IVAN POV


    ¡°This is not about wealth, you¡¯re a bloody flirt!¡± I blurted out, before I could stop the word froming out.


    His face dropped, as he stared at me in disbelief, looking extremely hurt, but I don¡¯t give a damn how others feel, when it has to do with my sister, he can get angry all he wants, but fuck!, I can¡¯t let my sis get hurt by him, not now, and not forever.


    ¡°Really?, are you the one saying that Ivan? What the fuck does that supposed to mean you bloody fool?, what are you, a saint?¡± He scoffed, as he bit his lower lips, trying so hard to control his anger.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Audrey, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Are we different? We¡¯re both fucking into this together man, you¡¯re no different from me, but even worse. You even have the guts to talk about being a flirt?¡± He scoffed.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, ok?¡± I said, trying to calm the situation.


    He rolled his eyes and sat on the chair behind the counter, still looking very furious.


    We talked about random things, before I finally left the ce and drove home straight, looking forward to seeing my lovely sister.


    Driving into mypound, I halt my car at the parking lot, and I stepped out, before walking over to the entrance door, before walking in. I was weed with the aroma of cooked pasta, which filled my nostril, as soon as I stepped into the living room.


    ¡°Hey mommy, I¡¯m home.¡± I shouted from the living room, as I slumped on the couch tiredly.


    I heard footsteps descending down the grand staircase, and I snapped my eyes opened, before looking to the direction, to see Mira, my high school sweetheart, climbing down the stairs with a smile on her face.


    ¡°Mira!¡± I called surprisingly, as I stood up with a smile on my face.


    ¡°Look who we have here.¡± She said in her sweet voice, as she walked over to me, and threw her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly, like she was never gonna let go.


    Mira was my high school mate back then. We both were so into each other then, we started dating while in grade three, and trust me, we had a very great time then. Things became rough for us, when her parents decided that she studied in paris. She tried convincing her dad not to send her to Paris, but his mind was already made up. She left Chicago after our high school, and that was the end of our rtionship, we never got to see each other since then, and here she is, hugging me tightly.


    ¡°Oh my God Mira, look at you, you¡¯ve  grown so big now.¡± I eximed happily, scanning her with my eyes.


    She chuckled softly, as she hit my chest yfully.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°You¡¯re not looking bad yourself. I¡¯ve really missed you so much.¡± She whined, and hugged me again, pressing her body hard on mine.


    ¡°Hey don¡¯t choke me, ok?¡± I chuckled softly, as I pat her back. Truth be told, I¡¯ve really missed her, I¡¯ve missed everything about her, the smiles, the face and everything, her crazy part, is what I can kill to always see.


    She chuckled, and pulled away from me, before dragging me to sit on the couch, making sure to sit beside me.


    ¡°When did you arrive Chicago?¡± I asked surprisingly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s say I came back just yesterday, and I couldn¡¯t wait to see you, so I had to rush down here this morning, but unfortunately, you left quite early, so I had to wait till you get back.¡± She rushed her words, looking extremely happy.


    ¡°Wow, so how have life been with you over there?, I bet you have so much to tell me girl.¡± I winked at her.


    She rolled her eyes dramatically, waving her hand in the air dismissively. One of her attitude I¡¯ve missed so much. She always has the habit of doing that alot.


    ¡°Cmon Ivan, don¡¯t be such a chatterbox, you haven¡¯t changed a bit, always being curious, well, sorry to disappoint you, but trust me, you won¡¯t hear a thing, not until you have something to eat. I already made pasta with beef, your favorite, and with spices, just exactly how you want it,e over to the dinning now.¡± She winked at me, as she stood up and dragged me to the dinning area, where a covered te was alreadyying neatly on the table.


    She made me sit down, and opened the te, revealing the most delicious sight to behold. My mouth salivated, just at the sight of the delicious looking food, and I just couldn¡¯t wait to start devouring it.


    ¡°Trust me, you¡¯ll like it.¡± She smiled at me, as she poured some water from the jug into the ss cup, before going to sit across me.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I said with a smile on my face, and grabbed my cutleries, before feasting on the delicious pasta, like a hungry lion, who have been starving for so long. How much I¡¯ve missed her food, she always knows the way to a man¡¯s heart, which is through stomach. Everything about her, is just so perfect, beauty, sense of fashion, cooking skills, just everything.


    ¡°Hey calm down, don¡¯t choke yourself.¡± She chuckled amusingly at how I was feasting on the food.


    She stared at me, with so much emotions in her face, a happy smile was stered on her lips.


    ¡°What¡¯s with that stare?¡± I asked, with my mouth full of pasta.


    She chuckled, and tilted her head to get some strands of her hair off her face.


    ¡°You still look as handsome as always.¡± Sheplimented.


    I smiled at herpliment, she still had the habit ofplimenting my look, at any slightest opportunity.


    ¡°You can say that again.¡± I winked at her.


    She chuckled softly.


    An awkward silence filled the atmosphere, as the only sound that could be heard, was that of my cutleries, coupled with our heartbeats.


    ¡°So, how was life in Paris?¡± I broke the awkward silence, after I gulped down some water.


    She shrugged casually.


    ¡°Nothing special, everything was boring without you.¡± She shed a smile, and frowned again.


    I just couldn¡¯t help, but stared at her, with so much emotions, running through me. I can¡¯t deny the fact that I missed her so much, but one thing I¡¯m not sure of, is if the feelings are still there, I¡¯m not sure if I still love her, the way I used to back then.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°Ivan¡­ Ivan¡­¡± I heard my nameing from the living room, and I froze on my seat.


    Oh no¡­

 Angry

    Nora POV


    I¡¯ve been away from home for some hours now, hanging out with my best friend, Jasmine. I know Ivan must be back by now, and goodness, I haven¡¯t even made his food yet.     ¡°I gotta go home now Jas, my brother must be back now, I don¡¯t wanna make him worried.¡± I said to Jasmine, as we got to the ice cream joint.     ¡°But you said we¡¯re gonna spend time together Nora, why the change of mind again?¡± She whined sadly, pouting her lips cutely.     ¡°Cmon Jas, we¡¯ve spent a whole five hours together, don¡¯t make it look like I didn¡¯t spend much time with you, and besides, my brother needs me. I need to go home early, so I can make something for him, before hees back.¡± I rolled my eyes at her, and tucked my hands into the pockets of my baggy shirt, as we both walked down the road.     ¡°Whatever! Anyways, I¡¯ll being over to your house this weekend for some stuffs, make sure you make that delicacy you always made.¡± She smirked at me.     I scoffed and rolled my eyes. She knows nothing else, other than eating always. Gosh, only God knows where she¡¯s keeping all the food she¡¯s eating, and still looks skinny like this.     We talked about random things, as we walked to the roadside. I hailed a cab, and hugged her, before hopping in on the cab, not after giving the cabby the address of my house.     All through the journey, my gaze was always out of the window, feeding my eyes with the wonderful artworks and beautiful houses, which the cab kept zooming pass.     ¡°We¡¯re here ma¡¯am.¡± The cabby said, jolting me to reality, and looking around, I realized that we¡¯re already in front of my house. Wow, so soon?     Stepping out of the cab, I paid the man, and turned around, before walking to the big iron gate, which served as a barrier, between ourrgepound, and the street. Opening the gate, I walked inside, but stopped in my track, as my eyes darted to the car at the parking lot, which looked really strange.     ¡°Whose car is that?¡± I asked myself, and shrugged, before proceeding to the entrance door. No doubt Ivan is already home, coz I saw his car at the parking lot too, I just pray he hasn¡¯t been home for long. This was all Jasmine¡¯s fault, she kept dragging me from ce to ce, all in the name of spending time with me, and now Ivan returned home before me.     I pushed the door opened, and stepping into the living room, I was weed with the delicious aroma, which filled my nostrils, making me salivate. Haven¡¯t smelt something so good in a while now. I know Ivan sucks at cooking, so who could¡¯ve made such delicious food, or did he ordered it?     ¡°Ivan¡­ Ivan¡­¡± I called repeatedly, as I made my way to the kitchen, thinking he was there, but stopped in my track, when I saw him sitting at the dinning with ady, whose back was facing me.     My stomach twitched in excitement, as I saw thedy, many thoughts came conflicting on my mind, I thought my dreams was finallying through, Ivan have finally gotten himself a girlfriend.     ¡°Nor.. Nora..¡± He stuttered with a nervous smile on his face, as he stood up and walked over to me.     Thedy turned to look at me, and immediately, my smiles faded, and slowly turned into a huge frown. What the heck!, Mira?, non, this can¡¯t be.     ¡°What¡¯s she doing here?¡± I scoffed angrily, as I nced Ivan, and back to the bitch, standing before me, with her hands crossed on her chest.     ¡°Can you please calm down Nora, please.¡± He whispered to my ear.     I scoffed angrily, and red at her, before turning and going to my room. I¡¯ve always hated that bitch, from the day I found out Ivan was having something with her. She¡¯s an asshole, a whore, but Ivan was finding difficult to believe. I¡¯ve caught him kissing a couple of guys, but she always had her way of covering up for her crimes.     I stormed into my room, and banged the door really hard, before pacing angrily, biting my lip, trying so hard to control the anger that kept trying to consume me.     Ruffling my hair crazily, I dashed into the bathroom, and banged the door behind me, before stripping out of my clothes, after which I got under the shower, as I let the water sshed on my body, calming my tensed muscles.     After what seemed like forever of being in the bathroom, I turned off the shower, and wore my towel, before finding my way out of the bathroom. Stepping into my room, I met Ivan, sitting on the edge of the bed, fondling with his fingers, as he stared down at nothing.     ¡°Nora¡­¡± He stood up as soon as I walked in.     ¡°Is she gone?¡± I asked sarcastically, as I walked passed him to my closet, not giving him attention.     He sighed softly, and made to touch me, but I stepped back from him, and went to sit before the dresser.     ¡°Why do you hate her this much Nora?, it¡¯s been almost ten years since she left, and you still hate her this much?¡± He asked softly.     ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter the number of years she spent away from here, but trust me Ivan, I¡¯ve always hated her, and it still haven¡¯t changed, and I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll ever change, coz I¡¯ll continue hating her, even with thest drop of my blood.¡± I said sarcastically, as I grabbed my blower, and put it on, before starting to drying my hair.     ¡°But why Nora?¡± He asked calmly, with hurt in his voice.     ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you still love her, even after all these years, Ivan?¡± I rolled my eyes at him, and turned to the mirror again.     He sighed and slumped on the bed, before covering his face with his palms.     ¡°You want me to get myself a girlfriend, yeah?¡± He asked hoarsely, not raising his gaze to look at me.     ¡°Are you nning on taking her as your girlfriend?, hell no Ivan!, that girl is a bitch, a prostitute, a slit, a whor¡­¡±     He sprang up, and the next he did, shocked me to the marrow, he did what he has never done to me in his lifetime¡­Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.

    I wonder why the fuck she doesn¡¯t listen. I don¡¯t know why she so much hate Mira, and funny, the hatred stillsted until now, even after so many years of being away. At times I do get frustrated with her, but then, I can¡¯t stop myself from loving her. Whenever we¡¯re together, I just feel like running away from her, and whenever I¡¯m away from her, I just miss her like we¡¯re separated for years. If anyone ever told me taking care of your younger sister will be this frustrating and a big deal, I would never have believed the person, but my sister is a typical example of frustration itself.     ¡°You want me to get myself a girlfriend, yeah?¡± I asked hoarsely, not raising my gaze to look at her.     ¡°Are you nning on taking her as your girlfriend?, hell no Ivan!, that girl is a bitch, a prostitute, a slit, a whor¡­¡± I didn¡¯t let her finished her statement, as I sprang up andnded a hot p across her face, before I could stop myself from doing it.     She looked at me, with hurt all over her face, tears came rolling down her cheeks.     I bit my lower lip in regret, as I turned my face away and ruffled my hair. Fuck!, what the heck have I done now? Ever since we¡¯re kids, I¡¯ve never raised my hands on her for any reason, gosh why didn¡¯t I controlled my anger?     ¡°Di¡­ did you just p me? Because of her?¡± She scoffed, as more tears kept pouring down her cheeks, her hands on her cheeks, which was red from the p.     ¡°Nora¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m sorry please.¡± I tried going close to her, but she stepped back, shaking her head for me not to get close to her.     ¡°You love her this much, to the point of beating me up because of her? Well no problem, go ahead and make her your sister and your wife too, don¡¯t you evere anywhere close to me, don¡¯t ever in your life, call me your sister, ever again. I rushed all the way here, worried that you must be back from work, and haven¡¯t eaten anything, only for you to start beating me up because of some whore? It¡¯s fine though, I¡¯ll get out of your house, and your life, go ahead and be with the love of your life.¡± She yelled at me in tears, and with that, she turned and left the room, banging the door hard behind her.     ¡°Shit!¡± I cursed inwardly, and started running after her.     ¡°Nora wait up please¡­ Nora please just wait up.¡± I called after her, as I kept rushing down the staircase, but she didn¡¯t stopped to listen, as she opened the exit door, and stormed out, before banging the door really hard behind her.     Letting out a sigh, I slumped on the couch, and buried my face in my palms, as a drop of tears escaped my eyes. How could I be so stupid to have done that to her? She grew up with nothing, but my love and care, she has no one else but me, and I dare to hurt her this much? How am I going to get her to forgive me now? Nora is a very stubborn soul, who does whatever she wants, without listening to anyone, how will I get her toe around? Am I not a bad brother? I¡¯m sure mom and dad must be very mad at me wherever they¡¯re now, they¡¯ll be feeling like I failed to protect my little sister, whom they left under my care. How the heck am I gonna be able to live, if anything ever happens to her? I¡¯ll never be able to forgive myself.     I felt a hand around my shoulder, and I didn¡¯t need anyone, before I¡¯ll know that the touch came from Mira. What was I even thinking? I¡¯m not even sure of my feelings for her anymore, and I put my rtionship with my sister on line, because of her?     ¡°I don¡¯t know why she hates me, but I hate her as much as she hates me.¡± I heard her scoffed.     My blood boiled in anger, at the mention of that, as I raised my gaze to give her a deadly re, how dare she say that about my sister?     ¡°What did you say?¡± I asked, to be sure I heard her right.     ¡°Yeah, I hate her, she¡¯s an asshole, so annoying. She thinks she can boss everyone around, just because she gets the love of her brother, what kind of a spoilt brat is that?¡± She rolled her eyes, as she stood up and crossed her hands on her chest, like she just said some meaningful thing.     ¡°Are you out of your mind Mira?¡± I thundered, as I sprang up to my feet, with so much anger in me.     ¡°Please don¡¯t yell at me.¡± She rolled her eyes, as she went to sit on the couch opposite me.     ¡°This should be thest time, you¡¯ll ever open that mouth of yours, to say some shit about my sister, the next time you try that, trust me, you wouldn¡¯t like what you¡¯ll see.¡± I said, then grabbed my car keys from the table, before going to the door, but halt on my way.     ¡°I don¡¯t wanna meet you here when I get back.¡± I said, not sparing her a nce, before opening the door, and storming out of the house, going to look for my sister¡­     ?NORA POV     Tears kept pouring down my cheeks, as I walked down the road. Just the thought of my brother, pping me, really hurts me alot. How could he do this to me, because of that bitch? He¡¯s such a scumbag.     ¡°I¡¯m not going back to that house, not now, and not forever, he should make her his sister and wife, I don¡¯t care.¡± I scoffed angrily, still walking down the road. I didn¡¯t have anywhere to go, but I¡¯ve made up my mind to go over to Jasmine¡¯s house, and cool off my head, before thinking of the way forward.     Still walking absentmindedly, a car drove and stopped beside me, almost knocking me down.     ¡°Are you mad or something?¡± I yelled at whoever was inside the car, ring hard at it.     The door whined down, and I gasped at who I saw.     ¡°Hey angry beauty.¡± He teased me, with that cute smiles that always melted my heart¡­

 Surprised

    AUDREY POV     Ivan is the most annoying creature I¡¯ve ever seen on earth, but he still remains my buddy though. After work, I left the bar, and drove my car out of the ce.  I know you may be wondering how I own a car, and still working as a waiter, well the truth is, I¡¯m not poor, at least, I own a house and two cars, I¡¯m just doing this waiter job, because I wanna know how it feels to work under someone else. I can always get a better job with my qualification, I have a degree in journalism, I¡¯ve got so many job offers, but I turned them all down, coz I¡¯m not ready to do that for now.     I kept nodding my head to the cool music,ing from my car, as I drove down the road, when I spotted someone, walking down the road. Even if I didn¡¯t see her face, she looked like someone I know. I kept hooting my honk, but she never stopped, neither did she looked back to check where the loud honk wasing from. I drove fast and double crossed her, almost knocking her down, and as she turned to re at the car, I confirmed my suspicion, she¡¯s really someone I know, my very own crush, Nora.     Her lips moved, but I didn¡¯t hear what she said, as the window ss was serving as a barrier between us, but judging from her expression, I didn¡¯t need anyone to tell me that the beauty was angry. Whining down thw ss, I peeked out of the car, and gave her a smile.     ¡°Hey angry beauty.¡± I teased her, as a chuckle escaped my lips.     She gasped, as her hands flew over to her mouth, having a surprised look on her face.     ¡°Audrey¡­¡± She mouthed surprisingly.     ¡°Surprise to see me? Where are you headed? It¡¯s already gettingte, aren¡¯t you supposed to be at home by now? Let me guess, you sneaked out of the house, because I know Ivan will never allow you leave house at this time, or maybe he¡¯s not yet back from work.¡± I teased her.     ¡°Yeah I¡¯m really surprised to see. One question at a time please.¡± She rolled her eyes, as a sheepishly smile settled on her face. She look so beautiful whenever she smiles, and just seeing those sexy smiles, makes me think about crazy things. Funny, right? Well, I¡¯m not trying to flirt with her, so don¡¯t misunderstand me.     ¡°How about you hop in and let¡¯s hang out together, but don¡¯t let your brother hear about this, he might kill me if he knows.¡± I chuckled lightly. Seriously, I don¡¯t know why Ivan always res up, whenever I talk about having feelings for his sister. On a second thought, I don¡¯t me him. I¡¯m a flirt like him too, he must be scared of me breaking his sister¡¯s heart, or toiling with her heart, but I really love this angel standing before me. It¡¯s no longer a crush, but it¡¯s now love, and I¡¯m willing to do whatever it takes me, to make Ivan realize that I love his sister, and approve me being with her.     ¡°Sure.¡± She shrugged, then walked over to the other side of the car, before hopping in on the passenger seat beside me, after which she fastened her seatbelt, and tucked her hair behind her ear.     ¡°So, where are we going from here?¡± She asked, as she nced at me, and looked away to the road.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m famished, so let¡¯s go grab something to eat, bills on me.¡± I winked at her, then turned on the ignition, and stepped on the elerator, before setting the car on motion.     ¡°You haven¡¯t told me what you¡¯re doing out by this time.¡± I said, not taking my gaze off the road, as my hands kept doing magic on the steering wheel. My driving is skill is top notch, I¡¯ve won many races, so I don¡¯t think I need anymore exnation.     ¡°Was just taking a walk.¡± She replied simply, but I know she wasn¡¯t telling me the truth.     ¡°That¡¯s weird.¡± I said to her, as I took a left turn, and started driving to the restaurant downtown.     She didn¡¯t say a word, as she just kept staring out of the window, with her elbow on the window frame, her palm, holding her chin up, as the wind blew on her face, swaying her hair, revealing her beauty the more. Even if she didn¡¯t say anything, I know she wasn¡¯t ok, she is not the same cheerful Nora I always know her to be, maybe I should ask her what the problem is.     ¡°You¡¯re ok?¡± I asked, as I nced at her, and took my attention back to the road. I was almost at the restaurant, so my movement was slowed a little bit.     ¡°Yeah I¡¯m fine.¡± She shed me a smile, which dissipated almost immediately, her gaze still out of the window.     Letting out a soft sigh, I nodded slightly, as I decided not to talk about it again, since she didn¡¯t wanna talk about it either.     I finally stopped in front of the restaurant, and parked neatly, before stepping out with her. We both walked side by side into the restaurant, as we were weed warmly. There weren¡¯t many people present, so we just walked over to the empty seats at the corner, and sat down opposite each other.     The waiter came running to us, to take our orders.     ¡°What would you like to have sir?¡± The young man asked, showing me their menu book.     I took a quick look at, before settling for chicken soup, along with cheese burger.     ¡°I¡¯ll have sandwich with chicken breast.¡± She ordered.     The waiter bowed, then walked away and came to serve us.     We both started eating silently, our attention on the food, as none of us spared ourselves a nce. I was really nervous, never knew I could get this nervous in my life. Sitting with someone you have a big crush on, is really a big deal, yeah?     ¡°Audrey¡­¡±We were still eating, when I heard a familiar voice called my name, and raising my head to look at the person, I was weed with the least expected people¡­

We were still eating, when someone called Audrey, and I didn¡¯t need to look back, before I¡¯ll know where the voice wasing from. It was Alex, Ivan¡¯s best friend, whom I hate so much with everything in me. That dude is one of the annoying creature I¡¯ve met all my life, he¡¯s flirty, has bad mouth, and everything about him is just so fucking annoying.     ¡°Alex.¡± Audrey¡¯s surprised voice came on.

Gosh, he¡¯ll never cease to annoying me, just getting on my nerves whenever he got the chance to see me. He always bullied me back then in school, but he never dared to try it, whenever Ivan was around, for the fear of losing one of his tooth.     ¡°An, that was harsh.¡± He frowned, and burst intoughter again. He totally forgot about thwdy he came in with, as his attention was all on me. What do you expect? It¡¯s been a long we¡¯vest seen each other, and he¡¯s making sure to make use of this opportunity and bully me.     ¡°Am I invisible now?¡± Thedy asked angrily, rolling her eyes at me.     ¡°Hey don¡¯t give me that look, else you¡¯ll regret it.

For this big favor you¡¯ve done for me, order anything you want, bills on me.¡± He smiled at me foolishly. So he¡¯s been looking for a way of getting rid of her?

Anyways, you look beautiful tonight, how about we go to my room, and let me explore that sexy lips of yours? Those dress will look extremely beautiful on my floor, you know?¡± He winked at me.     ¡°Stop this Alex!¡± Audrey¡¯s angry voice came on, as he gave the idiot a warning re.     ¡°Hey don¡¯t give me that look, I was only teasing her.¡± He rolled his eyes dramatically.     ¡°Well, sorry to disappoint you my dear, I don¡¯t think that pencil in between your crotches, will fit into a chicken pussy, let alone a woman.¡± I smirked at him.     Audrey choked on his food, as he burst in an uncontrobleughter.     He frowned deeply, ring hard at me, that statement really got to him, and that¡¯s exactly what I want.     ¡°You know you are a witch, right?¡± He red at me.     ¡°Maybe, and I¡¯ll make sure that I show you what a witch does.

You heard what she said just now, that my dick is a pencil, like what the fuck!

I haven¡¯t heard from him this evening.¡± He said.     Anger rushed through me at the mention of that name, remembering how he pped me, left me with nothing, but so much pains in my heart. He had never for once yelled at me, let alone hitting me, and to think that he actually did that, because of a bitch, hurts me the more.     ¡°You have his number, don¡¯t you?¡± I rolled my eyes, and turned my face away.     ¡°Are you¡­¡± His voice trailed off, as his phone rang.

 Losing my mind

    IVAN POVProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    I¡¯ve looked everywhere for Nora, but couldn¡¯t find her. It was already gettingte, and I was starting to get worried. I would¡¯ve said to check her friends house, if I could find her there, but she has no many friends, and the few she has, is only Jasmine I know, I¡¯ve already gone there, but she wasn¡¯t there either. I was already losing my mind, as the thought of something bad happening to her, kept popping up on my head, and I just couldn¡¯t help it, but get more scared. This was all my fault, I am such a dickhead, how could I do that to her.     Since she wasn¡¯t at Jasmine¡¯s ce, and she doesn¡¯t seem to know where my sister would be, I was already losing my mind, as I ruffled my hair crazily.     Reaching out for my phone, I put a call through to her, and as expected, she didn¡¯t answer her phone. I¡¯ve been calling her for hours now, but she never picked any of it.     ¡°Pick up please¡­ pick up.¡± I said frustratingly, as I held my phone to my ear, but it was still same result, she didn¡¯t pick up. Different thoughts came parading on my mind. What if something have happened to her? What if she was kidnapped? What if¡­. fuck! I don¡¯t even know what to think anymore. She should just pick up and talk to me.     My phone beeped, and checking it, I found out that it was credit alert of fifteen million dors, I didn¡¯t need anyone to tell me who sent it. That wasn¡¯t my problem, I needed to find my sister. Letting out a sigh, I hopped in on my car, and drove out of Jasmine¡¯s ce, going to God knows where. I was still driving in the dark, when my phone came ringing, and I quickly reached for it, thinking it was from Nora, but I was disappointed, as I saw the caller ID to be from miss Becky. I hissed loudly, and dropped the phone on the seat next to me, before pressing the bluetooth, which was fixed in my ear.     ¡°Yeah.¡± I said simply, not taking my eyes off the road, as I drove recklessly down the dark road.     ¡°The money has been sent to your ount, I couldn¡¯t meet up with the shopping today, coz I was very busy in the office, we¡¯ll do that first thing tomorrow morning, and the party will be 8pm. So I want you to work on your schedule.¡± Her voice came on.     ¡°Ok!¡± I replied simply, as my mind kept wandering aimlessly away. If I can¡¯t find Nora, what will happen? My parents left her under my care, how could I not protect her? I am supposed to give her all the love and care she deserves, but I failed her, I caused her harm, when I¡¯m the one that supposed to be there for her. What do I do now?     ¡°If you¡¯re less busy, we can hang out tonight, and talk over dinner.¡± She said softly.     ¡°I¡¯ll be busy. I gotta go now, good night.¡± I said, and pressed the bluetooth, as the call disconnected, before I removed the bluetooth and dropped it on the seat next to me.     After driving for what seemed like forever, I finally stopped driving, as I parked at the side of the road, and let out a deep sigh. I didn¡¯t know who to call again. The thought of calling Audrey hit my head, but I quickly shrugged it off, I mean, what could Nora be possibly be doing with him? After pondering over nothing for long, I finally resolved to call Alex, I know Nora isn¡¯t with him, I just wanna let him know, so he can help me look for her.     Picking up my phone, I scrolled through the contact, and as soon as I saw Alex¡¯s number, I hit the dial button, before fixing the bluetooth in my ear again. He picked up on the first ring.     ¡°Yo man!¡± His voice came on.     ¡°Alex, Nora is missing.¡± I said dejectedly, as a drop of tears came rolling down my cheeks.     ¡°Are you kidding me now?¡± He asked unbelievably.     ¡°Do I sound like I¡¯m joking man? My sister is fucking missing, I¡¯ve been looking for her for hours now, but can¡¯t find her anywhere, I¡¯ve gone to her friend¡¯s house, but she isn¡¯t there. I¡¯m losing my mind Alex, if anything happens to Nora I¡¯m gonna lose it.¡± I cried bitterly like a baby. What do you expect? She¡¯s the only family I have, and losing her is thest thing I can bear. Ever since we lost our parents, we lived and grew up together, with no other family, just the two of us.     ¡°Hey calm down man¡­¡±     ¡°Don¡¯t tell me to calm down! I am looking for my sister, Nora is missing, and you want me to calm down? Do you know what I¡¯m going through right now?¡± I yelled angrily, as I hit my hand on the steering wheel, before resting my head on it, more tears came pouring down my eyes.     ¡°Nora is here with us.¡± He broke the news to me.     I slowly raised my head, trying to process what he just said, Nora is with them? That¡¯s not possible.     ¡°What are you talking about Alex? Do I sound like I¡¯m joking or something? Why are you making a joke out of this, huh?¡± I asked furiously.     ¡°I am not joking with you man, Nora is here.¡± He said, with seriousness clear in his tone.     ¡°Where are you? I¡¯ming to get her.¡± I asked, already turning on the car ignition.     ¡°Calm down ma¡­¡±     ¡°Where the fuck are you!¡± I cut him off angrily.     ¡°Ok, at the restaurant downtown.¡± He said, and without waiting for his next word, I ended the call, and stepped on the elerator, setting the car on motion, as I drove crazily, like a maniac. I¡¯ve already lost my mind. After driving for a few minutes, I finally got to the restaurant, and stepped out, before rushing into the restaurant, but stopped in my track, as I was weed with the shocking scene of my life. A wave of anger surged through me, as I watched them, with my fists balled beside me. How dare he!¡­

Did you know what he¡¯s been going through, looking for you everywhere, and crying his eyes out? You know how much Ivan cares about you, and you still went ahead to do this? Did you even consider how he¡¯d feel?¡± He asked angrily, ring at me.     ¡°You have no right, whatsoever, to judge me. Why the fuck are you yelling at me, without even trying to hear me out!¡± I said angrily, as I sprang up on my feet.     ¡°No matter what he had done to you, it should never justify you, running away from home, knowing how he¡¯d be worried about you. You¡¯re wrong so admit it Nora!¡± He yelled at me furiously, as he sprang up to his feet.     ¡°Do you ever think about how he feels, huh? All you ever think about, is yourself, did you ever think about the pains he¡¯s going through, all because of you, and you still got the guts to make him worried?¡± He fired at me, getting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.     ¡°Can you two just stop this argument!¡± Audrey banged his hands on the table.     ¡°It¡¯s ok, I¡¯m out of here.¡± I said, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to escaped my eyes. Have I really been thinking for myself alone? Have I not been a good sister? Alex is right, I think I¡¯ve cared so much about myself, that I never thought of how Ivan will feel, he loved me with everything in him, he sacrificed alot of things for me, he made me his first priority, and always tried as much as to protect me, how could I have been so wicked, to let my anger take over me, leading me to hurting the only person that cares about most about me? Turning around to leave the ce, Alex¡¯s voice cut through my heart like a sharp sword, bringing me to an abrupt halt.     ¡°You¡¯re too selfish for my liking Nora¡­ you don¡¯t deserve to be called a sis¡­¡±     ¡°Enough!¡± Ivan¡¯s angry voice cut him off. Raising my gaze to the door, I found Ivan, ring hard at Alex, as his eyes zed in anger.     ¡°Ivan¡­¡± I called almost in a whisper, as the tears I¡¯ve been holding back, finally found its way out of my eyes. He looked destabilized, it was very obvious that these few hours I¡¯ve been away, he had really gone through alot. He looked hopeless, and like he was going to die anytime soon. How could I have been so wicked to have done this to my own brother?     Alex scoffed angrily, then grabbed his car keys from the table angrily, before storming out of the restaurant.     Ivan nced at him, before rushing to me, with a worried look on his face.     ¡°Are you ok Nora? Did you got hurt? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?¡± He asked worriedly, checking my body, to see if there¡¯s anything on it.     ¡°Yes I¡¯m fine.¡± I said, as I stared at him, more tears came streaming down my eyes like an ocean.     Raising his gaze to me, he cupped my cheeks in his hands, as his grey eyes pierced into mine, with so much worry on his face.     ¡°Why¡­ why are you crying? Did anyone hurt you? Are you hurt? Please talk to me.¡± He shook my face slightly.     I burst into tears, as I threw myself in his arms, hugging him tightly, more tears pouring down my cheeks.     ¡°I¡¯m sorry Ivan¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± I cried bitterly.     I felt his hand around me, as I heard him sobbed.     ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I will never do that again.¡± He said in a teary voice.     ¡°I¡¯m still here.¡± Audrey¡¯s voice distracted us, and that was when I realized that he was still around.     We pulled away from each other, and I pecked his cheek, before wiping my tears with the back of my palm.     We all sat down and ordered for a drink, which we drank, before leaving the restaurant, after which we drove back home¡­     PARIS     I ruffled my hair crazily, as I paced in my room, holding my phone to my ear. Gosh! I hate this. That stupid manager of mine will sure hear it from me. I have a flight to catch up with by 8am for fuck sake, and he¡¯s yet to be here now.     ¡°Urgh!¡± I groaned angrily, as I slumped on the bed, digging my fingers in my already arranged hair, messing it up again. That ipetent idiot will so pay for this, if I miss my flight. I supposed to be in Chicago today for heaven sake, and the idiot is not even showing up now.     The sound of my ringing phone jolted me back to reality, and picking the phone from the bed, I scoffed at the caller ID, before sliding the answer button.     ¡°For the love of God Harry, what¡¯s it by your time!¡± I yelled on the phone, ring into space angrily.     ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am, I was¡­¡±     ¡°Keep your exnation to yourself, where the heck are you?¡± I thundered, losing my patience.     ¡°I¡¯ll be there in a few minutes ma¡¯am.¡± His voice came on.     ¡°Just make sure I don¡¯t miss my flight, because if I do, I¡¯ll advice you just get a car, and drive to the pit of hell, before I send you there.¡± I yelled, and without waiting for him to talk, I banged the call on him, before dropping the phone on the bed. I¡¯m all ready for the trip, my bags are already well arranged, just this idiot is what¡¯s keeping me from going to the airport now.     My name is Evelyn Javier, twenty three years old, averagely tall, skinny, light wless skin, blonde hair, and a pair of brown eyes. I¡¯m a crazy, but nice person, you wouldn¡¯t wanna mess with me, else you¡¯ll see my madness. I have a best friend, her name is Nina, and I love her. She lives in Chicago, and I¡¯m more than happy that I¡¯m going see her after so many years. Enough of the introduction for now, you¡¯ll get to know meter.     Harry arrived few minutester as promised, and without wasting time, he arranged my luggage¡¯s in the car, before driving me to the airport. I was lucky enough, as the flight was a few minutes to taking off, before we arrived. The flight took off a few minutes after we got to the airport.     The trip was not different from every other trip I¡¯ve had, boring.     Hourster, the nended at the airport, and we all stepped out of it, with Harry, dragging my bag, as he trailed behind me.     ¡°Chicago here Ie.¡± I smiled, as I wore my sunss¡­

 Meeting a Beautiful Man

    Evelyn POV


    After we left the airport, I put a call through to Nina, and asked for the address of the ce I¡¯ll be staying, which she gave me. Did I forgot to tell you? Nina already took care of my amodation, even before I left Paris, that¡¯s why she¡¯s my sweet girl. She always try as much as to give me the best.


    My gaze was out of the window, as I kept looking at the change that took ce in Chicago, these past years that I¡¯vest been here. So many times have really changed, and so many buildings, has been demolished and built into apany. Letting out a sigh, I finally took my gaze away from the road, and focused my attention on my phone, as I pressed it, like my life depended on it.


    I didn¡¯t know how many minutes or hours we¡¯ve spent on the road, as my attention was all on the phone, but I was forced to look around, as the car screeched to an abrupt halt, and raising my gaze to take a look at the environment, I was weed with a big mansion.


    ¡°We¡¯re here ma¡¯am.¡± Henry¡¯s voice came on, and that was when I realized that he already opened the door for me.


    Giving one more look, I stepped out of the car, and waited for him to get my bags, before I go to my house. After he got the bags, we sauntered towards the description, which Nina gave me, and in a couple of minutes, we were able to locate the ce.


    ¡°Finally.¡± I breathed out, as I looked around the door, eye searching the key, and finally, I found them. Grabbing the key from where it was hanging, I inserted it into thw key whole, before twisting it to the left side, and the door opened. I peeked inside the house, and was weed with a spacious living room, with everything arranged neatly, they were all in perfect shape. I finally opened the door and walked in slowly, making sure to be careful as much as I can. Who know, someone might just be hiding inside here.


    Stepping into the living room, I got a better view of everything, as I found that it was already arranged to my taste, everything was in ce, just the way I would¡¯ve arranged them. Nina is really a sweetheart, what would I have done without her? I slumped on the couch tiredly, as soon as I stepped in, and I felt so rxed, the couch was very soft, andfortable to sit or sleep on.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, you know you have to start unpacking already? You¡¯re having an appointment with Apple Graphicpany by 3pm, and you still need to be ready for the photo shooting for the swimming ad tomorrow.¡± Henry reminded.


    Realization dawned on me, and I just couldn¡¯t help, but sighed deeply, before removing my heels and throwing it to God knows where, before standing up on my feet, and walking towards one out of the two avable rooms.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    I pushed the door opened, and peeked inside, before walking in fully. The room didn¡¯t turn out that wide, but it¡¯s really beautiful, and a ce for stay. Stepping into the room, I slumped tiredly on the queen sized bed, feeling the urge to sleep, but I fought it back, knowing the kind of bad sleeper I can be. If I ever allowed myself fall asleep in this terrible situation, then I would have myself to be med for not meeting up with the appointment.


    Gathering all my strength, I got off the bed, and stripped out of my clothes, leaving only pant and bra on me, before I walked inside the beautiful bathroom, which had everything I¡¯ll be needing in the ce. Though the bathroom isn¡¯t that big, but it¡¯s really breathtaking.


    Stepping into the bathroom, I removed the remaining fabrics on my body, before getting under the shower, and I turned it on, as I let the cool watering from it, hit every part of my body, rxing my tired and tensed muscles. Heaven knows that all I needed is just a cold bath.


    I spent almost forever in the bathroom, before I turned off the shower, then grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my chest, before walking out of the room. Stepping into the room, I was surprised to see that my clothes were already arranged neatly in my transparent closet, and a corporate dress, wasying on the bed, with a pair of blue heeled shoes,ying neatly at the side of the bed. Henry is really a wonderful man, he¡¯s doing the work of both manager and that of the personal assistant. He had always been there for me, and treated me really well, in these past years that I¡¯ve known him.


    My eyes darted to the small clock, standing on the bedside table, and picking it up, I checked the time.


    ¡°I still have up to an hour and a half.¡± I mumbled, then dropped the call, before going to sit before the mirror. Can¡¯t believe I¡¯m going to start work immediately, not even a day off. Thirty minutester, I was done applying lotion on my body, and applying a little make up, before I finally grabbed the corporate dress of blue and white shirt and a skirt, before wearing them.


    ¡°Beautiful.¡± I muttered, as I checked myself out in the mirror, and trust me, I looked like an angel. I may be skinny, but trust me, I always drive guys crazy. After I was done, I grabbed my handbag from the bed, before finally leaving the house, not after locking my door tightly. I can¡¯t be so careless, I¡¯m new to this ce, and I don¡¯t know if they actually have securities here, so leaving my door carelessly, was thest thing on my mind.


    Stepping out the house to go to the parking lot, I stopped in my track, as I saw someone came out of the house next door. His face wasn¡¯t so visible, as he had his hair, covering a part of his face, but even so, I didn¡¯t need no one to tell me the guy was super handsome.


    I stood lost in world of fantasy, as I prayed silently for him to show his face to me, and as he finally tilted his head to look at me, I froze at the sight of him¡­

 Her Familiar Face

    Evelyn POV


    I froze on my spot, as I behold his super cute¡­, no! His beautiful face. Have you ever seen a beautiful man? I doubt. In my entire life, I¡¯ve never met someone as cute as this. Even if he isn¡¯t anywhere close to me, his beauty still radiates, and I could feel the effect of it on me.


    ¡°Excuse me ma¡¯am, let¡¯s go.¡± Henry¡¯s voice brought me back to reality.


    Turning my head towards his direction, I found him already holding the car door opened for me. I looked back to see the Mr handsome, but he isn¡¯t anywhere to be found. Huh? Did he disappear? Did he disappeared? Letting out a small sigh, I went to hop in the car, before we finally left thepound, to the God forsakenpany, that decided for me not to rest, after a long trip from Paris down here.


    ¡°Did you arranged everything in the car?¡± I asked Henry, not sparing him a nce, as my gaze was strictly on the screen of my phone, checking my schedule for the day.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am.¡± He replied.


    The journey continued for a few more minutes, before the car finally pulled over at the parking lot of a very big and beautifulpany. The exterior view is something worth attention. Without waiting for Henry toe get the door for me, I opened it, and stepped out, then adjusted my big sunss, which wasying neatly and beautifully on my eyes.


    Henry opened the booth and brought out a bag, before swinging it over his shoulder, after which he walked over to me, as we both made our way to the entrance door, which has a patio door. Getting close to the door, it swung open by itself, and without waiting for anymore seconds, we made our way in.


    Stepping into the very bigpany, we were weed with the most beautiful interior view. Walking over to the reception, we were weed by a beautifuldy, who seemed to be the receptionist.


    ¡°Hi!¡± I greeted simply, as I stood behind the counter.


    ¡°Hi miss, how may I help you please?¡± She asked politely.


    I red at her angrily, as I fumer in anger, how dare she ask me such stupid question? I have an appointment with this damnpany, and this idiot is here, trying to piss me off? Didn¡¯t his manager or who so ever he is, tell her about mying here?


    ¡°Excuse me maa¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh shut up please! Where is your manager?¡± I yelled angrily, ring at her. I have anger issues, and I¡¯ve been trying to resolve it, but it only seem to get worsen, each time I try to control it. You would get angry if you¡¯re in my shoes, right? Like they called me toe do ad for them, and herr this idiot is, questioning my identity, and how she help me. What!Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am. This way.¡± She quickly apologized, before leaving the counter, and walking to a particr direction, while we just followed behind.


    She got to the elevator, and pressed the button, and the door rolled opened, before we all entered, as the door rolled closed again. She pressed five on the elevator, and in less than a minute, the elevator stopped walking, as the door rolled opened, before we all stepped out, going to God knows where.


    She stopped in front of a door, and ced a knock on it, as we were ushered in.


    ¡°Miss Javier.¡± A smile crept on his face, as soon as I entered. He stood up, and extended his hand forward for an handshake.


    ¡°Hi Mr Joe.¡± I smiled widely at him, before retracting my hand from his.


    ¡°Please sit.¡± He beckoned on me, before turning to Henry, and exchanging pleasantries with him.


    Dropping my handbag on the table, I took a seat opposite him.


    ¡°So, how was your trip? Heard you came back a couple of hours ago, you must really be tired. I¡¯m sorry, I would¡¯ve postponed this if I have the power to, but I¡¯m handicapped, I¡¯m very sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I promise not to take much of your time, we¡¯ll be snappy with everything, so you can go back home and get a rest.¡± He kept talking.


    ¡°Sure.¡± I replied simply, getting tired and irritated by his nonstop talking. He should just shut up, and let¡¯s get down to business, that¡¯s what I¡¯m here for, and not for some nonsense talk or something.


    ¡°The make-up artist will join you soon. Please let¡¯s go to thepany¡¯s studio now.¡± He said with a grin on his face. Can¡¯t he do without smiling all the time? What¡¯s so exciting about this whole thing?


    ¡°Sure.¡± I shed as smile, as I stood up and adjusted my skirt, then picked up my bag, before walking behind him, as he led us out of his office, with Henry trailing behind me.


    We finally got to a door, which I assumed to be the studio, and opening the door, my curiosity was satisfied, as we were weed with a breathtaking studio, with everything perfectly arranged to my taste.


    There were like five people present, along with the cameraman.


    ¡°Hello guys, attention please.¡± Mr Joe called their attentions, as they all turned to face him, with their rapt attention.


    ¡°So, this is our model, the one that will be running the ad for our magazine. She¡¯s miss Evelyn Javier, and his manager, Mr Henry Ford.¡± He introduced us to them.


    ¡°Hi miss Eve, you¡¯re wee to ourpany. I¡¯m Asher Cruz.¡± A blue haired guy smiled widely at me, before turning to Henry, and shook hands with him.


    ¡°I¡¯m Levi Harper, you¡¯re wee to join us.¡± Another green eyes guy smiled at us.


    ¡°Lemuel Jackson, the director here. You¡¯re weed to work with us, and I must confess, you¡¯re really a beauty.¡± He smiled widely at me.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I shed him smile, and maintained a straight face again. After all the introduction, the manager got a call, and told me that the make-up artist is finally around.


    ¡°Shall we?¡± Mr Joe smiled at me.


    ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll be back.¡± I said to Henry, before walking away with the manager.


    He led me to their dressing room, but there wasn¡¯t anyone around.


    ¡°Where¡¯s she?¡± I asked, after looking around.


    ¡°Hello ma¡¯am.¡± I the sound of a clicking heeled shoes behind me, followed by a sweet feminine voice.


    Turning around to see where the voice wasing from, I was weed with a pair of blue eyes, looking at me, with a smile stered on her face. I think I know this face¡­ I¡¯ve seen it somewhere before¡­

 I Finally Saw His Face

    EVELYN POV


    I tried recalling where I know the make-up artist from, but I just couldn¡¯t wrap my head about her identity, so I let it go. Why am I even bothered about how I knew her? That¡¯s crazy, I should do what I came here for, and disappear as soon as possible, I really need to get some rest.


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Nora Romero.¡± She smiled at me, as she extended her hand for an handshake.


    ¡°Evelyn Javier.¡± I returned the smile, before retracting my hand from hers, after which I turned to Henry and Mr Joe, and asked them to leave already. I mean, I can¡¯t possibly allow them stay back, while I get dressed, right?


    After they left, Nora got to work. She cleaned off the little make-up I applied on my face, before she started drawing her own. She continued adding what I don¡¯t know to my face, while I just closed my eyes, as instructed. Thirty minutes passed, and she was still not done, and at a point, I thought she already turned my face to drawing board.


    ¡°Are you not done yet?¡± I asked in frustration, as I was getting tired of the whole thing. I¡¯m not a big fan of make-up, I prefer leaving my face natural, or adding a little make-up whenever I¡¯m going out. I only do this kind of heavy make-up, each time I have a magazine pics to shoot.


    ¡°Just a little touch.¡± Her voice came on, as she kept mopping my face with a soft foam, which I assumed to be part of the make-up equipments. Only God knows how those celebrities going everywhere with makeups every time, copes with the burden of it.


    ¡°You can open your eyes now ma¡¯am.¡± Her voice came on.


    ¡°Finally.¡± I breathed out, and opened my eyes, but was shocked at what I saw. The reflection on the mirror, isn¡¯t same as the real me, I looked like a goddess of beauty. Ever since I¡¯ve been getting a touch on my face, this one is the best I¡¯ve ever had, this girl is just so perfect with it, she does it better than all those ipetent make-up artists in otherpanies.


    ¡°Do you like it?¡± Her reflection smiled widely at me.


    ¡°I love it girl. This is so good, how are you this perfect? This is my first time of having such a beautiful makeup, can¡¯t even recognize myself again.¡± I said sincerely, touching my cheeks in admiration.


    ¡°I¡¯m happy you love it.¡± She smiled at me happily


    ¡°Can I have your contact? Maybe I can make you my personal make-up artist, you¡¯ll be the one to be taking care of my make-up whenever I have an important ad to run.¡± I said.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll be more than happy to serve you.¡± She said excitedly, as she took the bag, which was on the dresser, then opened her small bag and brought out a business car, before handing it to me, you can also refer someone ma, I¡¯ll be really grateful.¡± She smiled heartily.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll give you a call.¡± I nodded, as I opened my bag and dropped the card inside it. I wore the long gown that was given to me by thepany, and I must confess, the silver colored gown was really beautiful. After I was done wearing the gown, I wore my silver heeled shoes, before going to check myself out in the mirror.


    ¡°You¡¯re beautiful.¡± She smiled at me.


    ¡°Thank you. Alright, I gotta go now. I¡¯ll give you a callter.¡± I patted her shoulder, before finally leaving the dressing room. I¡¯m not a kind of person that likes making friends, especially with strangers, but I just seem to like this girl. Aside from her job well done, I really like everything about her.


    Stepping out of the dressing room, I met Henry, waiting for me at the doorposts. We headed to the studio again as soon as I got to him. We both walked into the studio, and trust me, they all couldn¡¯t stop staring at me. I mean, who wouldn¡¯t drool, seeing a beauty goddess? Nora have really performed magic on my face.


    ¡°Alright let¡¯s start this and gone it done already.¡± Mr Joe said, pping his hands.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    The director came to stand beside me, while the cameraman already set the camera, ready to take orders, and start his job. Once everything was in ce, I stood in my pose, ready for the business.


    ¡°Raise your shoulder¡­ yes, throw your head back, and let your hair sway in the air.¡± The director said, and I did as instructed, while the cameraman started his job.


    ¡°Maintain an expressionless face, and stand on your two feet, widen your legs a little, and use dip your fingers in your hair.. part your lips slightly, and the let the emotions be seen in the picture.¡± The director kept instructing, while I obliged. I was already getting tired of the whole thing, but I know I gat to be patient. I don¡¯t always have to lose control of my anger, right?


    After thirty minutes of taking pictures, it was time to do video ad, so I changed into a white robe, which was revealing the wless and spotless skin of my legs, my arms and my neck. Doing a video ad is one of the things I find difficult doing, but I gat to do it.


    I sat on the chair, and crossed my legs, holding the cream, which I¡¯m gonna be advertising.


    ¡°Straighten your back¡­ make sure your legs are properly crossed, and your chin should be raised, so your gaze will fixed on the camera, make the sure that the passion and emotions is shown in both your speech, and your actions. Now let¡¯s do this.¡± The director said, and pped his hand, before going to stand with the cameraman.


    ¡°And¡­ action!¡± He said, his gaze fixated on the camera.


    ¡°When you talk about the beauty of your skin, you shouldn¡¯t forget to run to Apple Gold Beauty Cream, for help. Apple Gold, the best cream, that gives you the best wless skin, smoothens your skin, and brings out the best color of your skin. Do you have ck spots on your body? Have you been looking for the perfect cream to make your skin glow? Apple Gold Beauty Cream, is the only key to get all that.¡± I said, as I held out the lotion, making sure to put in my best. I didn¡¯t wanna end up repeating it.


    ¡°Whoa! That was great.¡± They all pped.


    I heaved a sigh of relief, as I stood up tiredly. We all shook hands, before I finally I left the studio.


    I went to the manager¡¯s office, and had a discussion with him, before I finally left.


    Stepping out of thepany, I bumped into someone, and my bag fell from my hand.


    ¡°Sorry miss.¡± The person I just bumped into, said.


    Picking up my bag, I raised my gaze, and was met with a pair of brown eyes like mine. My heart skipped, I know this face¡­

 August Visitor

    IVAN


    Gosh! I¡¯m so bored in here. Nathan, my cousin, came around for a surprise visit yesterday. We met him at home when we got back from the restaurant yesterday. I¡¯m really happy to have him around, he¡¯s really fun to be with, and to know that we¡¯ll be staying together for long, my joy knew no bound.


    Nora left this afternoon for some appointment at one Applepany, or whatever she said the name was, leaving me all alone in boredom.


    After surfing the inte for nothing, I finally dropped my phone, and went to the kitchen to make something, I know they¡¯ll soon be home, and I wouldn¡¯t want them getting hungry. Stepping into the kitchen, my eyes roamed around the ce, as I kept contemting on what to cook.


    ¡°Maybe I should just make pasta.¡± I said, then shrugged and got to business. I started cooking, giving it all my attention, to avoid burning down the house. Thirty minutester, the food was all set, so I dished them out, before taking them to the dinning area, where I arranged them neatly on the table.


    I was still in the dinning area, when I heard the door opened, followed by footsteps, and I didn¡¯t need anyone to tell me that they¡¯re home.


    ¡°Ivan¡­ Ivan.¡± Nora¡¯s voice came on tiredly.


    Cleaning my hands on the apron, I walked to the living room, where I met the both of them, sitting tiredly on the couch, like they just did some hard job or something.


    ¡°You came early¡­ and why are you looking that tired? Did you went to break stones or something? I asked in amusement, forcing myself not tough.


    ¡°You¡¯re so annoying, you couldn¡¯t even asked how the work went, but instead, you decided to make fun of me.¡± Nora rolled her eyes.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be angry little angel, you know your brother can be a nerve wrecking fellow, so just overlook his attitude.¡± Nathan chipped in, smirking at me.


    ¡°Whatever! Anyways, I made food.¡± I smiled.


    ¡°Seriously? What says by your time?¡± Nathan scoffed, ncing at his wrist watch, before throwing his head on the couch dramatically.


    ¡°It¡¯s just 5pm.¡± I shrugged, as I nced at the wall clock, and back to them, having a confused look on my face.


    ¡°So what do we call this food now? Lunch, dinner or super?¡± Nora asked, with a funny look on her face.


    ¡°You should be grateful I made something for you two. You¡¯re so annoying.¡± I scoffed, as I rolled my eyes, before going to sit beside my little angel.


    ¡°Eeeew! You smell of¡­¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t hugged me, remember?¡± I cut her off, making a puppy face.


    ¡°That¡¯s why you need a girlfriend dude, I am your sister, not your girlfriend.¡± She smirked at me, before turning her gaze away.


    ¡°Whatever!¡± I rolled my eyes.


    ¡°So aren¡¯t we going to eat?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Just keep the food in the refrigerator, I¡¯ll eat mer.¡± Nathan said, as he took the TV remote from the center table, before turning on the TV.


    ¡°Same here.¡± Nora added.


    Letting out a sigh, I stood up sluggishly, and made my way to the dinning area. I will never in my life try to impress these two annoying fellows, they¡¯re just a joy killer. I packed up everything, including mine, and went to keep it in the refrigerator as instructed, before going to join them in the living room, where they were watching a Korean movie.


    ¡°So, how was work today?¡± I asked, seeing how tired my angel looked.


    ¡°Work was fine. Thedy I did make-up for, is just so sweet, nice and a calmed person. You won¡¯t believe this, she actually gave me a job offer, I¡¯m now her personal make-up artist. I¡¯m so happy.¡± She gushed happily.


    ¡°Wow, that¡¯s a good news.¡± I smiled happily, as I pulled her into my arms, hugging her tenderly. All I always want for her, is to be happy, if she is, then I¡¯ll be  too.


    ¡°Thanks bro.¡± She smiled excitedly.


    ¡°So guess what.¡± She waved her hands in the air happily.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

    I suddenly became interested to hear the full story, just the mention of the hotness of the mysteriousdy, triggers my curiosity.


    ¡°Who¡¯s she?¡± I asked curiously, as I adjusted on my seat.

    ¡°Cmon Nathan, you didn¡¯t know her from somewhere, do you?¡± Nora rolled her eyes at him.


    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t know her from Adam, I saw it on her face, I saw it written all over her, she¡¯s not an easy going person.¡± He shrugged.


    ¡°You¡¯re so dramatic, you know? Was it written on her forehead? Like I don¡¯t understand you.¡± I scoffed, looking at him unbelievably.


    ¡°Whatever!¡± He rolled his eyes, before turning his attention to the TV.


    ¡°Anyways, she told me that she¡¯ll being here tonight.¡± She said excitedly.


    A strong wave of excitement crept into me, as a smile crept on my face at the mention of that, but it didn¡¯tst for long, as it slowly dissipated into a small frown, as realization dawned on me that I¡¯ll be going out with miss Becky tonight. Maybe I¡¯ll meet this hot girl some other time.


    We talked about random things,ughing, and making fun of each other. We were still having a good time, when my phone came buzzing. Reaching out to it, I checked the caller ID, before sliding the answer button.


    ¡°Hey Audrey.¡± I said on the phone, as soon as is I picked up.

    ¡°Ok man, will call youter.¡± He said, before ending the call.


    ¡°So guys¡­¡± My voice was interrupted, as a knock came on the door.


    ¡°That must be her.¡± Nora said excitedly, before rushing to open the door.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I heard her asked whoever was at the door, and I didn¡¯t need anyone to tell me that it¡¯s not who she was expecting.


    Whoever was at the door, walked in, and raising my gaze to look at him or her, I was weed with the shock of my life. What! How did she know this ce?¡­

 Frustrated

    Nora POV     I red at the woman standing before me, before finally asking her in. The look on Ivan¡¯s face showed that he must know her from somewhere.


    ¡°Hi Ivan.¡± She smiled at my brother.


    ¡°Miss Becky¡­ wh.. what are you doing here?¡± He stuttered, still looking all surprised. Don¡¯t tell me my brother is now doing older women? This woman here, look like she¡¯s forty, or even more than.

    ¡°Ok, just wait for me here, I¡¯ll be back.¡± He said to her, before standing up and walking up the stairs.


    I stared at him confusingly, till he was out of sight, and taking my attention to Nathan, I found out that he was having same expression as me.


    Giving the woman onest re, I walked over to the staircase, before scurrying up the stairs. I walked through the hallway, till I got to his room, and ced a soft knock on his door.


    ¡°Come in.¡± His voice came on from inside, and without wasting time, I pushed the door opened, and stormed inside.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on Ivan?¡± I asked confusingly.


    ¡°I¡¯ll exin everything to you when I get back, but for now, let¡¯s not talk about this, I¡¯ll be back.¡± He said, then kissed my forehead and hugged me, before storming out of the room, leaving me to sort myself out.


    ¡°Just what¡¯s going on here?¡± I groaned angrily, before storming out of the room too¡­     Ivan POV


    This is the most annoying event of my life. How could she just barge into my house like that?     ¡°Honestly miss Becky, what you did is really annoying. For heaven sake, you should¡¯ve called and tell me on the phone, than giving me a surprise visit. What if I was with my girlfriend? You would¡¯ve barged in on us like that, and make her misunderstand us?¡± I huffed angrily, and looked out of the window.     She didn¡¯t say a word to me, as she was just busy doing what I don¡¯t know on his phone, acting like I wasn¡¯t even there.     The rest of the journey was silent, till we got to the venue. The car was parked neatly at the parking lot, and I stepped out, waiting for her toe out, so we can this done with. I don¡¯t know how I¡¯m gonna exin this whole thing to Nora, but that can wait for now.     ¡°Shall we?¡± She smiled widely at me.     ¡°Sure.¡± I said with a straight face, as I carved my hand, and she hung hers in it, before we walk side by side to the entrance door, after which we were ushered in.     ¡°Don¡¯t make that face.¡± She said, not sparing me a nce.     I rolled my eyes. Stepping into the veryrge hall, which had so many people, not just an ordinary poor people, but calibers of wealthy and influenced people.     We walked to one of the seats, and sat down opposite each other.     ¡°Care for a drink ma¡¯am?¡± One of the waiters asked, holding a tray, which had some sses on it, filled to the brim.     She smiled and took two cocktails from the tray, before handing me one.     ¡°You look cute as always.¡± She smiled at me seductively.     ¡°Thanks.¡± I replied simply, and took a sip from my drink.     The loud music filled the entire ce, with some people, dancing on the dance floor in pairs.     ¡°Cmon, let me introduce you to some of my friends.¡± She said and dragged me up, without even waiting to hear what I would say.     ¡°Miss Becky.¡± A woman in her mid fifties, smiled at her.     ¡°Mrs Roberto, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Miss Becky smiled back at her, while I just looked away, minding my business. I just can¡¯t wait to get out of here.     ¡°Meet my boyfriend Mrs Roberto.¡± She smiled, as she put her hand around my shoulder.     What! How dare she introduce me as her boyfriend? Is she trying to make a fool of me or something?     ¡°I¡¯m not¡­¡±     ¡°Oh! You want to use the restroom? That¡¯s the way, go ahead baby, or you can ask one of the waiters to show you the way.¡± She cut me off, pointing at a particr direction. I know she was just trying to shut me up from talking, but it¡¯s a good thing anyways, I was already getting frustrated and irritated by this woman.     Letting out a sigh, I took the direction, which she gave me, and I finally arrived at the hallway. It was really difficult, getting pass the crowd to this ce. I heaved a sigh of relief, as I finally got to the restroom. Just when I was about pushing the door opened, I heard a familiar voice behind me, and tilting my head to look where it wasing from, I was shocked to see Lilian Sanchez, looking at me with a smile on her face.     ¡°Hi Ivan.¡± She smiled widely, as she catwalked to me. She looked beautiful in her blue gown, which stopped before her knees, clinging to her body, a pair of blue heeled shoes were fitted in her feet, her long red hair, was curled up, as it cascaded down her shoulders.     ¡°Lilian!¡± I called surprisingly, as I turned fully and faced her.     ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I asked surprisingly, giving her a suspicious look.     ¡°Well, it¡¯s the birthday party of one of my dad¡¯s clients, he¡¯s kinda busy with business, so he sent me here instead. So, what are you doing here too?¡± She asked.     ¡°Well¡­ I just came to you know¡­¡±     ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand, you don¡¯t have to exin.¡± She smiled widely at me.     ¡°So, do you mind, we go to the balcony, and have some fresh air?

 Guess Who I Bumped Into

    Ivan POV


    I had a really tough day today, but somehow, I managed to push through it all, and finally, the party is over. Miss Becky have been a thorn on my flesh, she always have me followed her everywhere she goes, and it really sucks.


    After the party, I left the ce, and proceeded to going home. I¡¯ve made up my mind that I¡¯m not gonna ride with her, I¡¯ll just take a cab home, since I didn¡¯t bring my car, and I can¡¯t get a cab, I can just call Nathan toe pick me up.


    Stepping out of the ce, I sauntered to the gate, and just when I was stepping out, the most annoying voice sounded through, bringing me to a frustrating halt, as I heaved angrily, before turning to face her.


    ¡°Ivan¡­¡± She called softly, as she got to where I was, and tried touching me, but I stepped back from her. We¡¯re done with business, right? Why is she still clinging on to me for heaven sake?


    ¡°What¡¯s it miss Becky? I thought we¡¯re done with the business already?¡± I asked angrily.


    ¡°Ivan can you just calm down please? It¡¯s already veryte, why note with me to go lodge at a hotel, you can go home tomorrow, it¡¯s dangerous out there, and I can¡¯t let you go alone.¡± She said, pretending to be concern about my safety. Just imagine the nonsense this annoying woman is saying.


    ¡°Thanks for your concern miss Becky, but we¡¯re done here, my job here is done, and I wanna go home. I can go alone, so good night.¡± I said coldly, and turned to go, but she held my hand back, bringing me to an abrupt halt.


    ¡°Ivan I brought you out here, and it is my responsibility, to make sure that you¡¯re safe. I¡¯m going to be hold responsible, if anything happens to you, so can you please not make this hard for the both of us?¡± She spoke calmly.


    ¡°Thanks for your concern ma, but I have work to do tomorrow, and going to lodge in an hotel with you, is thest thing I wanna do. I have a family, waiting for me at home. I¡¯ll appreciate it, if you don¡¯t push this forward, just let this be, while I¡¯m still patient with you.¡± I said, then snatched my hand from her, before turning to go, but stopped, and tilted my head to her.


    ¡°And please, I¡¯ll appreciate it, if you don¡¯t call me again. I don¡¯t sleep with my clients.¡± I said with finality in my voice, and with that, I opened the gate, and stepped out of the ce.


    Luckily for me, there were still cabs, touring the street, so I hailed down one, and gave him my address, before hopping in, after which he started driving to the direction of my house. I kept looking out of the window, as the cabby drove through the dark and silent street. It¡¯s already 11pm.


    After what seemed like forever, the cab finally stopped in front of my house, and I paid him, before stepping out, after which I made my way home. I know Nora must be worried about me, and same time mad at me, I¡¯ll exin things to herter though, but for now, I just need a good rest. I have a swimming ad tomorrow, and I¡¯ll have to be there as soon as possible, if I don¡¯t wanna get on our coach¡¯s bad side.


    Stepping into the living room, I met Nora, sleeping on the couch. She must¡¯ve waited for me endlessly, before falling asleep. I know Nora, if she were to be able to control her sleep, she would never allow herself fall asleep, while I¡¯m still outside.


    I scooped her in my arms, before walking to the stairs, and climbing it, till I got to the hallway, which leads to her room. I pushed the door opened as soon as I got to her room, and stepping inside, I dropped her carefully on the bed, before pulling the duvet to cover her. I ced a soft kiss on her forehead, and switched off the light, before going to my room.


    I stripped out of my clothes and hit the shower, as soon as I got to my room. I just couldn¡¯t help, but scoffed, remembering the offer, which miss Becky was trying to make. That I should sleep in an hotel with her, that¡¯s crazy and¡­ wait! Don¡¯t tell me she was expecting me to ept the offer wholeheartedly, and sleep in¡­ oh my God, how can someone be that dumb?


    I shook my head in disbelief, as I turned off the shower, and wore my robe, before stepping out of the bathroom.


    ¡°Sleep¡­ sleep¡­ sleep.¡± I muttered, as I dragged myself to the bed, and slumped tiredly on it, before dragging my duvet over my body, as I gave in to the nature, that have been calling me for like forever.


    I didn¡¯t know how many hours I¡¯ve slept, but I was jolted out of my deep slumber, by the sound of my ringing phone, and forcing my eyes opened, the morning sunshine shone brightly on my face. Sitting up on the bed, I managed to opened my eyes, after rubbing them.


    ¡°Gosh!¡± I mumbled, as I swung my legs down my king sized bed, then got on my feet, before dragging my feet into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, had a long rxing bath, before stepping out. After I was done bathing, I walked out of the bathroom, and got dressed, before grabbing my phone from the bed. Turning on the screen, I gasped sharply, 9am! I stormed out of the room, running as fast as I could. I¡¯m terriblyte, I supposed to be at thepany by 8am, and gosh! I¡¯m an hourte.


    I climbed down the stairs crazily, before running out of the house.


    ¡°Ivan where are you rushing off to again?¡± Nora¡¯s angry voice yelled after me, as she followed me outside, but stopped at the doorpost.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a callter.¡± I said, before entering my car, and driving out of the house, praying silently that I make it on time, even if I know that I was already an hourte.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    I drove at a very fast speed, viting the traffic light. I finally got to thepany, and I parked my car at the parking lot, before rushing inside, but bumped my head into someone, and she winced in pains.


    ¡°Sorry miss.¡± I said, as I helped her up, but froze on my spot, with my hands on her shoulders, as I behold her face¡­ what!¡­

 The Psycho Is Here Again

    Evelyn POV


    Can¡¯t believe I finally saw my crush yesterday, and trust me, he looked more cute than he is from afar, he¡¯s Nora¡¯s cousin, and guess what, he lives next door to me, meaning I¡¯ll get to see him everyday, isn¡¯t that beautiful?


    It¡¯s still early in the morning, so I quickly got off the bed, and got dressed for my appointment at Kay¡¯s empire, and in less than hour, I was ready. I had breakfast, before I drove to thepany. Henry was already waiting for me at thepany, setting the photography equipments and everything.


    I arrived at thepany minutester, and it was already some few minutes to 9am, which means that I was a few minuteste. I parked my car at the parking lot, and rushed inside. Without stress, I was able to locate the natatorium, and without wasting anymore seconds, I pushed the door opened, and peeked inside, before walking in fully. Almost all of them gasped, as they saw me, but I didn¡¯t give my attention to any of it, as I¡¯m more concerned about my business, than some unnecessary things.


    ¡°Hello miss Evelyn.¡± A young man of around forty years, weed with me with a smile on his face.


    ¡°Hello Mr Rooney, I¡¯m very sorry for the dy, I was attending to something back at home, I beg your pardon.¡± I apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, at least, now you¡¯re here.¡± He smiled warmly at me, before turning to the young dude that was standing behind him.


    ¡°Have you tried calling him?¡± He asked the guy.


    ¡°Yes coach, I¡¯ve tried calling him severally, but he isn¡¯t picking up. This is unlike him, I¡¯m starting to get worried about him.¡± The guy replied with a worried look on.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the person Mr Rooney? Let¡¯s start this and get it done already.¡± I asked him.


    ¡°The thing is, we¡¯ve been trying to reach him for almost an hour now, but he isn¡¯t picking any of our calls, which is unlike him.¡± He said worriedly.


    Letting out a sigh, I touched my forehead frustratingly. Seriously? Is the dude serious at all? How could he still be at home at this time, when he have an important ad to make for thepany he works for, and I heard the idiot is one of the World Olympic Swimming Contestants. How is he going to cope, if he keeps losing track of time like this.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for him for ten minutes, and if he¡¯s not here by then, I¡¯ll have no option than to leave.¡± I said angrily, before walking out. Opening the door to go out, I bumped my head into someone, and I fell on my butt, as I winced in pains.


    ¡°Sorry miss.¡± The idiot I just bumped into, held me by the shoulders, and helped me up. Raising my gaze to look at the person, I was shocked at who I saw, Ivan!


    ¡°Eve!¡±


    ¡°Ivan!¡± We both eximed at same time. What is he doing here?


    ¡°This is crazy, what are you doing here?¡± He asked surprisingly.


    ¡°What business of yours is that Mr?¡± I rolled my eyes, and shrugged his hands off my shoulders. A smirk crept its way to his face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you came back all the way from Paris, to work as a cleaner here.¡± He eximed, as his hand flew to cover his mouth, his eyes widened in shock.


    What! How dare he call me a cleaner! Do I look or dress like one? He still hasn¡¯t changed, even after all these years of being away from each other, he always finds it exciting, bullying me, it¡¯s what he¡¯s always done back in college, and I¡¯m already used to it, but what is amusing me here, is that the first thing he did, after being away for so many years, was bully me as always.


    ¡°Are you out of your mind Ivan? I just got back from Paris, and all you could wee me with, is those annoying words?¡± I scoffed angrily.


    He chuckled, and staggered back.


    ¡°Who cares if you just got back, and how is it my business, what you feel? I heard that a new cleaner was employed here, so when I saw youing from inside there, I thought you¡¯re the new cleaner. You wouldn¡¯t me me, would you?¡± He shrugged, and tucked his hands inside his pockets.


    ¡°So you still haven¡¯t changed, even after all these years Ivan?¡± I scoffed angrily, ring at him.


    ¡°Who says I¡¯m gonna change? Well sorry to disappoint you sweetheart, I haven¡¯t changed, and I¡¯m not nning to, not now, and not forever. And even if I¡¯m gonna change my ways, I¡¯m never gonna stop pestering your life, because it makes me happy, seeing that ugly frown of yours.¡± He said, and poked my nose, before tucking his hands into his pockets again, a satisfactory smile, settling on his face.


    ¡°You¡¯re so annoying Ivan.¡± I huffed angrily.


    ¡°Wait! Look at you!¡± He eximed, pointing his index finger at me.


    I looked at myself, trying to see if there was anything on my body, when his voice came on again.


    ¡°Girl,e give me your boyfriend¡¯s contact¡­ I have to contact that dude, he¡¯s not trying at all, I mean, look at your body, it seems you¡¯re getting thinner. Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t gotten a boyfriend yet¡­ oh please don¡¯t mind me girl, no one would wanna have anything to do with someone that look more like a stick, than a human.¡± He chuckled uncontrobly. I know he¡¯s just trying to get me pissed, but I won¡¯t give him the chance to. We both are good at this, and trust me, I know how to get to him.


    ¡°Well, let¡¯s consider thating from a dude, who has a fine face, but got no brain.¡± I winked at him, and smirked, before walking away.


    ¡°We¡¯re not done yet Eve.¡± He yelled after me angrily.


    I went to my car, and got something, before walking back to thepany. My mind have already been made up, if I go in there, and the person is yet to be present, then I¡¯m leaving.


    Stepping into the natatorium, I met the coach and everyone, waiting.


    ¡°If he¡¯s not here yet, then I¡¯m¡­¡± My voice trailed off, as my eyes darted behind the coach¡­ What!

 What! What鈥檚 She Doing Here?

    Ivan POV


    That idiot! How dare she talk to me in that manner? Me? I don¡¯t have brain? Like what the heck.


    ¡°You should be grateful that she didn¡¯t tell you your d*ck is like a pencil, that would¡¯ve been more embarrassing, right?¡± My subconscious mind yelled at me, and I scoffed out loudly, and red at the direction where she went, before I turned and walked into the natatorium.


    ¡°Finally, you¡¯re here.¡± Coach breathed out, as soon as I walked inside.


    ¡°Good morning coach, sorry I camete, I was taking care of something back at home, that I lost track of time. Let¡¯s get to work now already.¡± I exined.


    ¡°What were you doing back at home dude? I¡¯ve called you so many times, but you never answered any.¡± Jeff, one of my teammates, rolled his eyes at me.


    ¡°Whatever.¡± I rolled my eyes, before going into the dressing room. I stripped out of my clothes, and wore my swimming trunk as soon as I stepped into the dressing room. After I was done, I arranged my clothes in my backpack, and wore my goggle, before walking out of the room.


    Stepping into the natatorium, I heard a familiar voice,ing from beside the swimming pool, and I scoffed. Like, what the hell is she doing here now? For goodness sake, we¡¯re here for some business, so why is she here?


    ¡°If he¡¯s not here yet, then I¡¯m¡­¡± Her voice trailed off, as her eyes darted to me. Her mouth flew opened, as she stared at me, like she wanted to devour me with her eyes. I don¡¯t me her, I always get this kind of look everywhere I go, so she shouldn¡¯t be an exemption. I doubt if her boyfriend is as hot as I am.


    ¡°Snap out of it Ivan, nobody would wanna date someone that looks like a fellow man. I mean, look at her chest, she has two swollen pimples of a breast there, look at her back, it¡¯s so fucking dry. If you¡¯re the one, will you go for someone like this?¡± My subconscious mind reminded me.


    ¡°Never!¡± I didn¡¯t know when I said it loudly, and burst into seriousughter.


    ¡°What the heck is going on here now?¡± She yelled angrily.


    I managed to control myughter.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get straight to business. I want us to get this done with, and get the heck out of here, you sucks me, I can¡¯t stand you.¡± She huffed angrily, before walking over to meet the guy, who was standing behind a camera, as she wiggled her bone of an ass.


    Ok, what¡¯s going on here now? Can someone tell me, what the heck is happening here? I thought we¡¯re here for swimming magazine cover, so what the heck is this annoying jerk doing here?


    ¡°Ok, can someone tell me what is happening here?¡± I finally asked, trying to satisfy my curiosity.


    ¡°Oh, she¡¯s the photographer, handling our photo shooting. She¡¯s Evelyn Ja¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need her name coach, I mean, what the heck is this brat doing here?¡± I red up. There¡¯s no way in hell, I¡¯m ever gonna allow her take pictures of me, not even in her dreams. If they can¡¯t find another photographer, then I¡¯m off, I can¡¯t let this idiot do the photo shooting. You wouldn¡¯t me me, right? She just told me I don¡¯t have a brain, and she still got the guts toe stand here?


    ¡°But you started it first, remember?¡± My subconscious mind reminded me, but I just scoffed it off. Like, I don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t give a damn who started it, at least, she should¡¯ve respected me as a man I am, and not talk back at me. She wouldn¡¯t die if she did that, right?


    ¡°What do you mean Ivan? She¡¯s a professional photog¡­¡±All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    ¡°I don¡¯t give a damn about that coach! I don¡¯t care if she¡¯s a professional or not, I won¡¯t allow her take pictures of me.¡± I cut him off angrily. Who cares about her professionalism? Who cares if she can do it best? There are people out there, that can do better than her, and if they can¡¯t go for someone else, then screw this magazine shit, I¡¯m off.


    ¡°But we already paid¡­.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care coach! You can ask for a refund, and if she refuse, you can sue her to court and get your money back, I don¡¯t care how you¡¯re going to do it, but I can¡¯t allow her do this. If you insist she still handles the photo shooting, then I¡¯m sorry, you would have to get someone else to do it for you. I¡¯m off.¡± I said, and took off my goggle, before turning to walk back to the dressing room, and get changed, before going home.


    ¡°You know we can¡¯t do anything about this Ivan¡­ we need the photos for the processing of the magazine, and you know we need it this morning. Who are you expecting us to go get for this? Alex would¡¯ve taken care of it in your ce, but he¡¯s out of the town, what do you expect me to do now? You know what it took me, before I could get her to doing the shooting? You know how many photographers I¡¯ve gone to, but none of them was ready to help? She was busy, but still decided to help us, so can you please, his  forget about whatever grudges you have against thisdy, and do what we¡¯re here for?¡± Coach pleaded.


    Letting out a sigh, I closed my eyes briefly, as I gummed in anger. Turning around to face her, she rolled her eyes and turned her face away.


    I wore my goggle, and red at her, before climbing the top of the swimming pool.


    ¡°Ready? Action!¡± The idiot ordered, as her gaze was fixated on the camera.


    Jumping inside the pool, I rxed underneath for minutes, holding my breath, beforeing out of it, as I was weed with the stuttering sounds of camera.


    We spent almost an hour, shooting the photos, and when we were finally done, I left to change my clothes, before stepping out of thepany.


    I walked over to my car, and opened the door to hop in, when I heard a familiar voice, called my name from behind me. Turning around to see who it was, I was weed with the least expected person ever. What! What¡¯s she doing here?¡­

 Is She Stalking Me?

    Ivan POV


    Walking over to my car, I opened the door to hop in, when I heard a familiar voice, called my name from behind me. Turning around to see who it was, I was weed with the least expected person ever. What! What¡¯s she doing here?


    ¡°Long time, no see, Ivan.¡± She said, with that deadly smirk, ying at the corner of her lips, as she catwalked to where I was standing. Ok, I¡¯m screwed now.


    ¡°Mi¡­ Mia¡­ how¡¯re you doing?¡± I smiled widely, but in horror. What the heck is she doing here right now?


    ¡°As you can see baby, I¡¯m fine.¡± She shrugged, and peeked behind me, to see my car, before diverting her attention to me.


    ¡°Your car?¡± She asked, pointing at my car.


    ¡°Yeah. So, what are you doing here? Haven¡¯t been seeing you around for a while now, is everything ok?¡± I asked, trying to sound like a good guy, which I¡¯m not, and can never be.


    ¡°Oh cmon Ivan, stop making this look like you looked for me, you were ignoring my calls, remember? I gave you series of text messages, but you never replied, and when you picked my calls, you talked to me casually, like I was some gue, you¡¯re trying to avoid.¡± She said, sounding hurt, but do I really care? Of course not.


    ¡°It¡¯s not what you think Mia¡­ see, I¡¯ve been busytely, that I didn¡¯t want any form of distraction, I have alot at hands to take care of, I just needed to be alone, that was why I did all of that. I never meant to hurt you with it.¡± I said, trying to sound real.


    ¡°But you could¡¯ve told me, you know? You know how much I love you Ivan, I thought you were trying to break up with me. Do you know how many times I¡¯ve been here? Ie here each day, with the hope of seeing you, but luck was not always on my side.¡± She said, as she held my hands, looking at me.


    Oh holy Molly! Now I¡¯m screwed. Love? Is she being serious right now? Wait! Is she thinking we¡¯re having some kind of serious rtionship? Oh please, just spare me that shit! Like what nonsense!


    ¡°Oh¡­ yeah.¡± I stuttered, as I stylishly snatched my hand away from hers.


    ¡°So, what exactly are you doing here?¡± I asked again, trying to satisfy the curiosity, that kept trying to consume me. I just hope it¡¯s not what I¡¯m thinking? She can¡¯t possiblye here to wait for me, right?


    ¡°Well, I came here to search for you as usual, and luckily, I found you. I was about giving up, when I saw youing out of thepany. I¡¯m so happy to see you. I¡¯ve missed you so much.¡± She squeaked, and hugged me tightly. Ok this is crazy now, right?


    ¡°Cmon Mia, we¡¯re in public.¡± I said, as I wriggled from her grasp, and stepped away from her. If there¡¯s anything I hate, it is getting all lovey dovey with ady in public, I don¡¯t want anyone, mistaking us for some shit. I don¡¯t have time for girlfriend now, like, I don¡¯t wanna get attached with anyone.


    ¡°But I¡¯ve missed you so much Ivan¡­, how about we go somewhere, and have fun, you know?¡± She winked at me seductively, being all bitchy.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    ¡°Sorry Mia, but¡­¡± I was cut off, followed by a groan, as I felt her hand in my forbidden area. Gosh! This girl, have no iota of shame in her, we¡¯re in a public ce for goodness sake, what if someone is looking at us now?


    ¡°Cmon Ivan, I¡¯ve missed you.¡± She pouted.


    Letting out a sigh, I nodded in affirmation. I can¡¯t let her continue getting me frustrated. It wouldn¡¯t hurt, having sex with her, right? Besides, it¡¯s been a while since Ist had sex, so grabbing this opportunity wouldn¡¯t cause any harm, yeah?


    ¡°That¡¯s my baby.¡± She squeaked, then got on her toes, and pecked my lips, before rushing to the other side of the car, and hopped in, without my permission.


    I shook my head in disbelief, before opening the car door, and hopped on, before driving out of thepound.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your car?¡± I asked, as soon as I hit the road.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t bring it along, I took a cab here.¡± She answered excitedly.


    I casted her a nce, before focusing my attention on the road again, as I drove down the busy road.


    ¡°That¡¯s unlike you, because the Mia I know, will never go out without her car, so tell me, what changed?¡± I asked, as I scoffed.


    ¡°Well, let¡¯s say, because of this moment.¡± She shrugged, and burst intoughter.


    ¡°What moment?¡± I asked confusingly, as I nced at her and focused on the road again.


    ¡°Well, let¡¯s change that topic, and talk about us.¡± She said, as she crossed her legs, showing me her exposed wless thighs. Just wow, I just can¡¯t wait to get in between those legs, and make her scream my name, till she can¡¯t take it anymore.


    ¡°Stop trying to seduce me girl, I bet you won¡¯t try it inside the room.¡± I winked at her, and stayed focused again. If there¡¯s anything I love doing alot, it is flirting with my catch, it makes them think I¡¯m some nice dude.


    ¡°So, which resort should we visit?¡± She asked curiously.


    ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon.¡± I said, not sparing her a nce.


    I was silent for the rest of the journey, but the bitch sitting next to me, kept talking nonstop, and it¡¯s just suffocating me, but I gat to endure it anyways, at least, she¡¯s gonna make up for it.


    After what seemed like forever, I finally drove into the beautifulpound of one of the most expensive resorts in town, before parking at the parking lot.


    Stepping out of the car, I waited for her toe join me, before we both made our way to the entrance door, after which we walked to the reception.


    ¡°Hi Mr and Mrs, how may I be of help please.¡± The receptionist smiled politely at me.


    Mr and Mrs, my foot!


    ¡°Did you hear that? We¡¯re perfect match.¡± Mia squeaked.


    Oh shit! Just what is wrong with this girl? Can¡¯t she just shut that mouth for once? Perfect match indeed!


    After I was done with the processing of lodging a room, I collected the pass card, before turning to go, but froze on my spot, as I was weed with a pair of brown eyes, giving me a disgusting look. Wait! Is she stalking me?¡­

 Payback Time

    Eve POV


    I had such a bad day today, that pervert is such a nerve wrecking fellow. He ruined my day, yuck! If anyone ever told me that still hasn¡¯t changed, even after all these years, I would say the person is a big liar. He¡¯s still as annoying as ever, and he even said that he¡¯s not nning to change, what a scumbag!


    After the shooting at thepany, I decided to go straight to Rome¡¯s Resort, and finally seal the business deal with the CEO. I¡¯m supposed to have the appointment around 3pm, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll he able to go there, so I¡¯ll just go from here, and get it done, before going home to get some rest.


    ¡°Put a call through to Rome¡¯s resort CEO, and tell him that I want toe now.¡± I said to Henry, before turning to face the coach.


    ¡°So, everything is intact, we have good pictures, and trust me, I¡¯ll give you the best. The magazine will be ready in a week or two, I need to work on the whole thing, and also get to my editor, so she can do her part, before Iplete it, and get it to you.¡± I exined to him.


    ¡°Ok miss Eve, thank you so much for your time and sacrifice, I¡¯m really grateful. And I¡¯m also sorry for the way Ivan spoke to you, he isn¡¯t a rude person, I just didn¡¯t know what happened. Maybe he was having a mood swing, but I¡¯m assuring you, I¡¯ll make sure that he apologize for what he said, when next you two meet.¡± The coach apologized.


    He isn¡¯t a rude person indeed. If only he knows the kind of person that pervert is, then saying he isn¡¯t a rude person, is thest thing he would say. And talking about apology, I know Ivan, he¡¯d rather die, than apologize for his mistakes, that¡¯s how he¡¯s always been, and I don¡¯t think he¡¯s ever going to change, because that¡¯s who he is.


    ¡°It¡¯s ok Mr Rooney. I understand totally. It is my responsibility, to endure everything my clients says to me, so whatever happened, I didn¡¯t take it as a big deal.¡± I smiled at him, but inside me, I wasn¡¯t gonna let slide, I¡¯l make sure that I make him pay for body shaming me.


    ¡°Thanks alot for your understanding, miss Eve, hoping to work with you again, it¡¯s really nice, having you here.¡± He said, as he extended his hand for an handshake.


    ¡°The pleasure is all mine Mr Rooney.¡± I smiled widely at him, as I shook hands with him.


    ¡°He said he¡¯ll be d to have you there miss.¡± Henry walked over to me, and said.


    ¡°Alright Mr Rooney, I¡¯ll be on my way now. It¡¯s really nice meeting you, I¡¯ll keep in touch with you, in the case if I need anything or any information, concerning the magazine.¡± I smiled at him, before leaving the ce, with Henry, trailing behind me.


    Stepping out of thepany, I walked straight to my car, and hopped in, before driving out of thepound. I asked Henry to go home, while I go see Mr Romeo myself.


    I kept nodding my head to the music,ing from the car¡¯s CD, as I drove down the road, with my full attention, focused on the front, as my hands worked magic on the steering wheel. I drove for a few minutes, taking different turns, till I finally got to the big gate of the resort, which was tightly locked. After blowing my honk for like two or three times, the gate finally rolled opened, and I motioned my car inside, till I got to the parking lot, where fleets of different cars, were parked neatly. I stopped my car beside a familiar one, before stepping out, after which I made my way to the entrance, before going in.


    Walking over to the reception, I stopped in my track, as I weed with the most irritating sight ever, Ivan! Why does he have toe here of all ces? His sight irritates me, can you imagine.


    And he¡¯s even with a bitch.


    ring at the bitch beside him, I scoffed, before returning my gaze to the devil, standing with an unreadable expression on his face. He will never change.


    ¡°Are you stalking me Eve?¡± He red at me.


    ¡°You wish! For your damn information Mr, I don¡¯t stalk brainless people. I mean, can you just give me a reason, why I should stalk you?¡± I scoffed, as I rolled my eyes. He should just take this as a payback for what he said to me, back in theirpany. I¡¯m going to make sure I humiliate him so badly.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll take that as apliment,ing from a stick.¡± He chuckled.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    I bit my lip angrily, as I felt my heart tightened at those words. I know I¡¯m skinny, but must he always insult me with it? It hurts, and I hate the fact that the insult is getting to me.


    ¡°And¡­ who is this robot looking stick?¡± The bitch chuckled mockingly at me.


    ¡°I hope you didn¡¯t have anything to do with her? She looks like those skinny men that deal on modeling. Everything is t, no back, no front, oh my God.¡± The bitch gasped, as her her flew over to her mouth, in order to prevent her from bursting intoughter again.


    Ok now I¡¯m losing it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take that as apliment,ing from a whore, who doesn¡¯t know that her sweet boyfriend, whom she¡¯s clinging on to, is married with three kids.¡± I smirked at her, creasing my eyebrows at her.


    She gasped, and snapped her head to look at him.


    He stood ring at me, but do I really care? If lying against him, is the only way to get back at him, then I¡¯ll do it, over and over again.


    ¡°Ba¡­ babe is that true?¡± The bitch asked with a trembling mouth, as tears gathered in her eyes.


    ¡°Well, sorry you had to find out like this, but your boyfriend is really a scumbag. Deal with your heartbreak.¡± I smirked at her, and winked at Ivan, who stood looking at me unbelievably, before I cat walked away¡­
