Chapter 43 & 44 : Unmasking Deceptions
“O….Olivia?” Helen gasped as her breath got stuck in her throat….. almost choking her.
” Mom?……. what are you doing here?……how did you get here?……how come you got kidnapped and nobody knows!?………” Olivia yells and Monica quickly shoved the clothing in her mouth.
” You don’t get to talk here” Monica said sterning as all gaze were now on Helen.
” So…..you still not going to talk?” Grande asked as he stood up and took on of the guns…… filling it with bullets as he pulled the trigger….. this made Helen tensed.
What sort of temptation is this?…….if she doesn’t tell him the truth…. he’s going to kill both are and her daughter…….she knows Grande….. he’s pure wickedness himself.
” Don’t hurt my daughter please” Helen begging as Olivia tried to say something but only muffled sounds came out…..her hands were held tightly.
” I won’t hurt her if you talk…… it’s that simple” Grande said and Helen hesitated…… her gaze travelled to Olivia and she was practically crying
” I can’t betray my Best friend……I just can’t” Helen said and Monica eyes widened…….she pulled the clothing off Olivia’s mouth.
” Are you fùcking kidding me right now Mom.?……you want me dead?……. just tell them what they need to know!!!!!” Olivia yells and Grande smirks…… raising the gun to Olivia’s head and she shuddered…… vibrating as Grande’s hand held the trigger…. pulling it backwards slowly.
” You should better hurry up……my Dad isn’t bluffing…..” Monica said heartlessly and Helen shut her eyes as her head went down.
Olivia eyes were roaming as she felt his fingers pulling the trigger closer and closer.
” Mom!!!!!!!!!!” Olivia yells as the bullet got released….. Helen’s head snapped instantly as her eyes bulged out but Olivia was standing……the bullet was shot into the air…….. Grande smirks.
” That’s just a teaser to show you what’s about to happen if you don’t tell me what I want to hear” Grande said and points the gun back at Olivia….. this time he was aiming soley for her head……she felt the cold mental gun on her face and she quivers…….pee almost running down her legs.
” Please don’t hurt her……. just let her go and kill me instead” Helen said and Monica laughed mockingly.
” Kill you instead?…….if you don’t talk the both of you are going to die!” Monica spat and Grande’s hand went back to the trigger…..
Helen watched as he pulled it and her heart beats raised……she can’t let her daughter die….no she just can’t…..if she loses her child then Olivia is never going to forgive her……she can’t let her daughter die at the expense of another.
” I will tell you…..I will say the truth…. just let her go” Helen yells and Grande smirks.
” Start talking!” Grande yells as he lowers the gun and Olivia felt some sort of relief……
Helen eyes became watterly as she secretly prays for Morgan’s forgiveness.
” I’m waiting…….” Grande trails and Helens lips parted slightly.
Scarlett just finished eating and she made to leave…….she packs her stuff and flips her backpack on….. turning to leave when her legs tangled with the chair and she fell…….but not after a pair of strong hands held her….. she bats her eyelashes as she was slowly raised on her feet……her heart racing due to the fear of falling.
She quickly looks up and her eyes met with Nike’s……he was looking way better than before but he wasn’t smiling…….his eyes circle are still baggy…..he still looks thin though.
She tucks her hair behind her ears as an akward silence lingers between them…..she hasn’t seen his face for two weeks now and she feels way better…..bit seeing his face now is bringing back memories she doesn’t want to exist anymore.
” Thanks” she mumbles almost inaudibly as she made to leave but she felt restrained……. his hand held her’s tightly…….a sharp breath hooks her as she slowly turned to him……her eyes on their hands as it shifted back to him.
” Seriously?……you are still avoiding me?” He asked and she sighs.
” Let me go…..” She trails but his grip tightened up.
” I want us to talk” he said and she scoffed.
” I don’t have anything to say to you” she said simply and he felt a pang of pain in his chest.
” I’m sorry Scar…….I swear…. just give me a chance to explain myself” he said pleadingly.
” You didn’t give me a chance to explain myself when you brutally accused me of cheating……did you?” She asked and he swallowed hard.
” I was foolish then……I was scared and I was just looking for an excuse to avoid questioning” he said and she rolled her eyes…..she noticed his grip had lossened…. and she quickly pulled her hands away.
” I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore…… fuck off” Scarlett said definitely and made to leave when Roonie pokes her from behind.
She turned and a bright smile englofed her lips as he pulled out a beautiful small pink bag….. dangling it in her front as it moves sideways
Nike jaw hardened as he saw the stupid look on his face.
” What are you up to Roonie?” Scarlett said as she collects the bag and hugs it to herself.
” Nothing much…..how about we go to the library to study for tomorrow’s history exam…..I heard it’s going to be a tough one” he said and she gasped.
” I completely forgot about that…..fùck…..I would have failed woefully…..” She said as he takes her hands…..his gaze landed on Nike but he ignores him as he pulled her away gently……
Nike watched as she freely walked away with him……that dazzling gleam used to be his…. but he blew it off.
He fucking let his girlfriend off the tip of his fingers to some idiot that he hates.
Banging his hands on the table as he felt it cracked…… he’s so angry right now.
” If you would just let me help…..all these wouldn’t have been happening” Naomi’s voice came from behind him and he groans…….
” Are you fùcking stalking me?……..why are you always around me?……..stay the hell away from me!” He snapped and she held her chest in hurt.
” I just wanna help….I don’t want to cause any trouble” she said and he rubs his forehead in fustration.
” What part of get out of my life don’t you get?..…..…I don’t need you or your stupid help….you caused this in the first place!” He said angrily
” And I want to fix it!” She fires back….her eyes bulging as they but had an heated stare.
” I don’t need you……I will get my girlfriend back on my own” he said as he pushed her away……she fell on the chair close by as she watched him leave.
” You are still going to come to me for help…… and when you do?…….I promise to help you” she said sadly as she watched him walk away.
The Next Day 🥵
Abigail hurriedly leaves the room as she made to go lay a complaint on Olivia’s disapprance……she walked out of the hostel and made to leave when she spotted Olivia walking sluggishly into the school.
She gasped as she ran up to Olivia….. grabbing her by the shoulders as her hands roamed over her body.
” Where the heck have you been since yesterday?……I have looked everywhere for you….I thought you got kidnapped……I was about going to place a compliant about it!” Abigail said with a rush of relieve.
” It’s nothing……my mom is in the hospital so I went to check up on her…..I mistakenly dropped my phone on the ground” Olivia said as she tried not to show her true emotions.
” What happened to your Mom?” Abigail asked with concern.
” It’s just a minor accident…..she will be fine” Olivia said as she slowly released herself from Abigail’s hold and started walking in…..
Abigail bit her lips as she noticed something off about her….. Olivia isn’t like this…..her attitude has changed.
” There is something she’s not telling me” Abigail mumbles as she fiddles with her hands…… slowly dragging her feet as she walked into the hostel as well.
Monica smiles mischievously as she placed her phone on her ear….
” She didn’t say anything….. she’s clean” Monica said sly.
” Cool keep a close eye on her……..are the wires still intact?” Grande asked and Monica looked at her tracking device.
” Very intact….she doesn’t know she has them on” Monica said as she hops on her bike.
” Good….the moment you notice she wants to spill the truth…..kill her instantly” Grande said and hung up.
” With all pleasure” Monica mutters…… driving off in a really fast speed.
Vanessa stepped out of the exam hall and sighs……the history exam was really hard but she crushed it as usual.
” Wait up” George called from behind and she stopped……she almost laughed at the funny way he was running.
” You are a fast walker……damn” George managed to say as he held his chest.
” Why are you following me?” She asked as they resume walking.
” Because I miss spending quality time with you…… since you are so hunged up on Dylan now” George said briskly and Vanessa chuckles
” Jealousy is that you speaking?” Vanessa teased as she nugde him and he chuckled.
” I can never be jealous of Dylan….. I’m way hotter than him that’s for sure” George said cockyly and Vanessa scoffed.
” Yeah in your dreams……” She trails and George was kinda hurt by that…….. she’s really falling for him?…..oh no….he can’t let that happen
” Got any plans today?….” George asked.
” Yeah I plan on reading for tomorrow’s exam…….you should read too” she said as she walked ahead of him but he quickly caught up with her
” Cool…..we could study together” he said with a charming smile.
” I don’t think that’s a good idea…” She mumbles and he frowned.
” And why do you think so?” He asked as he made her stop.
” Because you are going to be distracting me…..I don’t want that” she said….. crossing her hands on her chest.
” But you wouldn’t mind if it was Dylan….. right?” George asked and Vanessa rubs her hands together.
” Why are you bringing Dylan into this?” She asked irritatedly.
” Because that’s all you do these days…… always been with Dylan…… you don’t care about anything else” he said and she scoffed.
” So?……are you bothered by that?……..why are you acting insecure?..…….we are just friends and you are alright dictating who I should spend time with?…… what’s up with you?……why are you crossing your boundaries?” Vanessa shot and George blinks repeatedly.
” Woah…..so it has got to this point where you are raising your voice at me Nessa?” George asked.
” You are not my Dad…… stop acting like one!” She semi yells and George was taken aback by her outburst.
” You really are ungreatful!……. after having your back during the times that jērk was being mean to you…….he suddenly staged a savior and now he’s the best…..the only one you think of” George said sarcastically.
” You were there……why didn’t you do anything?…… instead you ran like a chicken and expect me to run into your arms?….. don’t be delusional” she said as she made to leave but he caught her backpack…… dragging her backwards.
” We are not done talking” he said trying to keep his cool.
” But I’m done talking to you……if you are so bothered by Dylan then you are just a loser hiding in a cool disguise…..get your shit together” Vanessa said as she walked away and George clenched his fist.
He turned and bumped into Dylan….. staggering as he saw him standing with a smirk…..
” Are you that insecure?…….you think I have a chance ahead of you?” Dylan asked and George scoffed.
” Whoever said you had a chance?…… Vanessa is mine…… enjoy your stay while it lasts” George said as he made to leave but Dylan blocked his path…… titling his head backwards.
” Vanessa was never yours…..why don’t you let the girl be with who she wants?…….why are you forcing things?” Dylan asked with a smirk and George felt like punching the smirk off his face.
” I’m not forcing anything……you are the one standing in my way…..I thought you hated her?……why the sudden attachment?” George asked and Dylan cranks his jaw muscles.
” That’s none of your business……… just stay away from Vanessa……. I’m going to hurt you badly if you don’t stay put” Dylan said as he brushes past him…… making sure their shoulders colides as he walked away.
” You are going to hurt me?……. nah Dylan…… I’m going to kill you” George said in a mutter as he walked away.
” Hurry!!!!!!!!” Scarlett yells as the four girls stepped out of the exam hall.
” Third paper down……. two more to go and we are officially seniors!” Naomi cheers as they hugged each other.
” Yay!!……and we are going to rock to the upcoming party!!!!…… who’s ready!!!!?” Jessica yells as she jumped excitedly.
” Gurls…….we don’t have anything to wear……are we just going to go plain….the party is in three days” Vanessa said and they all stopped at once.
” We could go to the mall today…….we will just have to bribe the securities as usual” Naomi winked and they are giggled.
“Jessica now has a car……she will be the one driving! ” Scarlett yells as she claps her hands together.
“‘ that’s sweet!…….we should go now….. come on” Naomi nugde and they all hurried as Jessica brought out her car keys…… jingling it in the air
They hoped in as Jessica got to the gate……the did her girly charms and in two minutes they were driving down the road….. cheering loudly
Few Minutes Later 👍
They arrived the huge mall and they stepped out…
” I really don’t have much cash on me though” Scarlett said and Vanessa nods.
” Me too” she mumbles.
” Don’t worry……I will pay for all our stuffs let’s just quickly get out of here…..we don’t wanna get caught” Jessica said as they giggled……
They got in and the first thing they were welcomed with was first class shopping…….. different sales personel were walking elegantly as they stood still.
A younger female approached them and took them into the section they pointed out.
” I love this outfit!!……it screams eat me!!!!” Naomi said bluntly and they ewwwed.
” That’s so raw Naomi…… what do you think of this?” Scarlett asked as she pulled out a black slanted gown…..it had glitters that were sparkling
” That’s beautiful…… but I think it’s going to be a little bit too tight for you” Jessica said and Scarlett puts it back.
” Check this bad girl out” Vanessa said as she pulled out a short blue gown with slits…….the back had strips and it was a bit reveling.
” That’s really gorgeous” Naomi cheers.
” Here I think you should try this out first” Jessica said as she handed Vanessa a coral dress that has a straight slit that stops at the end of the gown……the back had strips that’s in a V shape…..it was nude brown with sparkles that made it sèxy.
” Thanks sis……I will be right back don’t forget to find a good pair of heels that matches the dress” Vanessa said and Jessica nods…… walking to the shoe section while Scarlett and Naomi continued checking the dressing out.
It took about five minutes for Vanessa to locate the changing room…….
“Thank goodness ” she sighs as she stepped in……. peeling off her uniform as she slipped into the dress……it was her perfect size and it hugged her body madly.
” That’s why Jessica would be my sis forever…….she has such good taste” Vanessa said excitedly as she checks herself out repeatedly…….twrilling round as she goshed over the outfit.
“The girls need to see this ” Vanessa said as she opened the door but it wouldn’t budge.
“Not again ” Vanessa mumbles in fustration as she picks her phone to call Jessica when the door clicked open.
She rolled her eyes as she puts her phone away….. taking her uniform but immediately her hands touch the door knob the door opened and she staggered backwards.
A huge intimidating figure that bore a really good resemblance to her face…… stood gaintly in front of her and her eyes portrayed fear.
The figure smiled as he walked in fully…… shutting the door behind them as her hands trembled in fear…… causing her phone to fall off her hands….. hitting the ground as she moved backwards.
” Nice to finally meet you…… daughter” his cold baranton voice echoed her ears as her lips parted slightly in shock.
” Hell no……..”.
Chapter 45 & 46 : Helen’s Courage
” Nice to finally meet you………. daughter” Grande said and Vanessa heart raced uncontrollably……she held the wall behind her for support as the older man glared lovingly at her.
” What do you want from me?” Vanessa asked as she held her chest….. trying not to show so much fear.
” To claim you of course……. you’ve been apart from me for so long….. and I want my daughter back” Grande said taking a step forward and Vanessa shrieks……. panicking as she felt like the ground should open up and swallow her whole.
” I’m not your daughter…….you look like a physco!” Vanessa spat and Grande’s eyes twitched.
” Then that makes us one……you also have that temperamental attitude deep within you and that’s why you can never forgive Morgan for what she did” Grande said and Vanessa suddenly gained confidence…… standing straight.
” I’m nothing like you…..stay the fuck away from me” she said spitefully and made to leave but Grande was quick enough to pull her back……she staggered almost hitting her head on the wall.
” You don’t walk out on your father when he’s still talking” he said and for a split second….she saw the demon in his eyes…..the evilness and spitefulness glowing deeply in him….. he’s nothing like a regular person…..he could kill……
How did Morgan came across him in the first place?
” Stay away from me…..” Vanessa shuddered.
” I should stay away from my own daughter?……. does that even make sense to you?” Grande asked….. smiling and she wondered where the frown he had on his face had gone….. he’s so good at switching moods.
” I’m not your daughter!” She spat and he grabbed her hand furiously……now the smile on his face had vanished within a second…… replacing it with a scrowl.
” I’m not going to force you…….you are going to come on your own when the time is right……we will leave this country and go back to Italy……where we truly belong” he said and his mood softened again…..the tight grip on her hand has lossened and she just stared at him…..her mouth agape.
” I’m not going anywhere…..not in this life….. and not in the next….” She said and he smirk…… standing straight.
” Like I said before honey……I don’t have to force you….. believe me when I say Morgan did everything within her power to protect you from me…..she even had to hurt others just so I wouldn’t have access to you…..but how did that turn out?…… she’s dead…. and anybody that tries to take you away from me……will die as well” Grande said with a sinister smile.
He opened the door and walked away like he never came….. Vanessa felt her whole body went cold as her hands were shivering…..that man…. there’s something odd about him.
She needs to know the whole truth…..
Immediately she grabbed her things and dashed out the changing room…… looking sideways to see if he’s still there but there was no sign of him.
” Fùck……” She mutters…. walking back to the girls.
” I found the perfect heels to go with your dress” Jessica sequels as she jingled a pair of beautiful glittering black heels….six inches long…. Vanessa faked a smile.
” It’s beautiful” she managed to say and Jessica frowned.
” Are you okay?” Jessica asked worriedly as she puts the heels away.
” I’m fine….. just a little bit tired…..I already like the dress and heels….. let’s just go” Vanessa said with a muskie tone and Jessica shakes her head.
” Something is definitely up……. did you see someone?……you look flushed and drained” Jessica furthered and Vanessa fiddles with her things
” I said I’m fine” Vanessa almost snapped but maintained her cool instantly…… breathing in air.
” Alright….if you say so” Jessica shrugged.
Naomi and Scarlett chuckles mare they turn and they were wearing dazzling dresses…..
” What do you girls think?” Scarlett asked as they twrills in circles.
” I like it…..it’s perfect” Jessica winked and they all giggled.
” I think we are done” Naomi said and they all walked to the counter….they paid for the things and started heading out.
” We should come here more often” Scarlett said as they got to the car.
” The place is cool…..are you alright Vanessa?” Naomi asked as they noticed she has been quiet the all time.
” I’m fine” she mutters….. Naomi shrugged her shoulders and entered the car.
Vanessa made to enter when someone caught her eyes…..she gasped inwardly as she saw Grande.
He was standing on the other side of the building……his hands crossed on his chest with a grin on his face…..two men in black glasses were behind him.
She gulped as her hand glued to the car door….. unable to move……his eyes were boring her’s as he made a ” my eyes are on you” gestured with his hand and she flinched.
” Aren’t you coming in?…..” Jessica breaks her thoughts and she blinks repeatedly….. giving Grande one more look as she entered the car
This isn’t funny anymore.
” You think this is a joke huh!?” Grande yells and George flinched as he stood numbed.
” Sir I’m seriously trying my best…..she doesn’t even want to see my face anymore and all because of that guy….. Dylan” George said and Grande strokes his chin thoughtfully.
” Giving me stupid excuses won’t solve this problem you created……. you had the golden chance to win her heart but you like a pórnstar….you blew it!” Grande yells again….. just then Monica walked in….her gaze steadied on George as a smirk formed on the corner of her attractive lips
“‘ he’s not wrong father…. there this dude hovering around my sister….. and if doesn’t get out of the way soon…..we might just lose this battle” Monica said and George breathe in relief….
” Then figure out a way to terminate him…..I met with my own daughter yesterday and she rebuked me!…….if you were to be close to her then it would have been easy for you to lure and convince her to come with me!…… that’s the essence of the plan but you failed!” Grande yells again….but more furiously this time…. Monica quickly held his shoulders to calm him down.
” My Dad is losing it……you have to figure out a way to kill that bastard before he succeeds in making Vanessa falling in love with him completely” Monica said calmly but the hatered in her voice was very evident.
” Just two days left….. and I promise to bring good news about his death” George said and Grande eyes twitched.
” Those snutty girls you are teaming up with……how are you sure you can trust them?” Grande asked and George smirks.
” Dylan is also on their hate list…..it wouldn’t be hard to get him out of the way since we all have the same motive” George said and Monica let’s go of her Dad slowly.
” I don’t trust those girls” Monica said instinctively….. narrowing her gaze on George.
” Trust me…..we are on the same side” George said.
” If anything happens to my daughter…….I swear to God I will end you” Grande said with all seriousness as he walked out.
” My Dad doesn’t bluff…..are you sure those girls are trustworthy?” Monica asked.
” I trust them…..I have watched Dylan done terrible things to each one of them and they seek revenge” George said and Monica nods.
” I just hope you are right…..” Monica said walking away.
George held his chest and breath out….. thank God Monica came….. Grande would have done something terrible to him.
Vanessa sat quietly……her food staring at her as she was unable to eat…..her eyes were fixed on nothing in particular as other students were done eating….. standing up one after the other but her mind was in another dimension totally.
She blinks repeatedly as Dylan sat in front of her…… waving his hand across her face and she smiles.
“‘you are not eating….. are you okay?” He asked with concern and she sighs.
” I guess….” She mumbles…..
” Don’t you dare lie to me……..did the girls try anything stupid with you?” He asked with a frown and she giggles.
” Nah……they wouldn’t even dare….. I’m just disturbed” Vanessa said with a dull smile.
” Tell me what’s bothering you” he said as he stood up and sat besides her.
” I…. it’s….my Dad……I saw him…..we talked……he wants to take me away and I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to stop him” Vanessa said and Dylan chuckles….. she instantly looks at him…. wondering what’s funny.
” He can’t do shit…..trust me baby” Dylan said unbothered and Vanessa almost grined.
” You don’t know him…… just with the few minutes I spent with him…..I descoverd just how cruel he can be…..” Vanessa trails as she looks worried…. Dylan held her chin and made their eyes meet.
” You don’t have to be scared….. I’m here for you….we will always have each other’s back” Dylan said and Vanessa smiles happily.
” Awwww I’m so lucky to have someone like you in my life” she goshed as she finally takes a bite from her food.
” Cafeteria food’s are junk…..” She said almost spitting it out immediately.
” You don’t like it…..” Dylan asked as a smile formed his face.
” It’s awfully bad……” She said pouting as she pushed the small plastic tray away…… facing Dylan as she made to say something only for his lips to evelope her’s…… making sure his tongue explores every inch as she was left breathless……he pulled away with a smirk.
” It doesn’t taste so bad…..” He said and her jaw dropped at the level of his naughtiness.
” Dylan……” She trails……
” You don’t have to be shy…..you said the food was awful and I wanted to see if it’s true…” He said….the smirk still standing firmly.
” You could have just tasted the food….” She said….. trying not to blush.
” I tasted it anyways……..” He said and she hits his chest playfully……
” You are so unbelievable” she whined like a baby as she made to hit him again…..but he caught her hands together…..
And with a swift pull………he captured her lips in a lingering kiss….. holding her hands together firmly as they melted in a world of their own……..poping sounds as he takes control of the kiss….. leaving her to match up with his swift pace.
Ashley clenched her fists tightly as she couldn’t hold the anger in her anymore…..she felt like vomiting her intestines and running over a bus
She knows Dylan to be a rough kisser…..he does everything with agression…..but watching him kiss her in such a calm way?……no….. Dylan can’t possibly be in love with Vanessa…..
She walked away quickly in other not to get caught staring.
Abigail walked out of the exam hall and her eyes roamed around…..she suddenly saw Olivia walking up front.
She ran and finally caught up with her.
” Hey girl…..why didn’t you wait for me?” Abigail asked and Olivia simply stared blankly at her.
” Leave me alone” Olivia said…. she wanted to walk away but Abigail held her hand.
” Why are you acting weird?…….ever since that day you came back you’ve been avoiding me……did something happen?” Abigail asked worriedly and Olivia shoved her hands away.
” I don’t want to talk to you” Olivia said plainly as her face was void of emotions……she was acting like a robot.
” Well I insist on talking to you……can you at least tell me what’s wrong?” Abigail asked and Olivia ingnored her….. walking away.
Abigail bites her lips as she watched Olivia walked like a mindless lone star……
” What is wrong with her?” Abigail questioned herself…… walking down the hallway as well.
Roonie and Scarlett walked out the hallway and they stopped right at the end of it.
” So are you ready for tomorrow’s party” Roonie asked and Scarlett chuckles.
” I dunno…..you tell me” she said and he pokes her cheeks.
” Don’t you dare play dumb with me” he said and she smiles.
” I will see you later Roonie…..I gotta go” Scarlett said as she hugs him fondly before walking away.
The smile on his face knew no bounds as he rubs his hands together.
” Hey Roonie” Naomi’s voice interupts his thoughts and he looks at her.
” Naomi……. what’s good?” He asked teasingly…. poking her sides.
” Nothing much……I see you and Scarlett have become awfully close” she said and he smiles.
” She’s perfect and I like her……I can’t wait to tell her” he said and Naomi’s facial expression changed instantly.
” Look……I don’t think you should do that” she said and he furrows his eyebrows….. making them fuised together in the middle.
” And why if I may ask?” Ronnie asked.
” Because I want to fix what I destroyed……and you been close to Scarlett won’t let me achieve that” she said bluntly and Roonie scoffed
” You’ve got nerves………and do I look like I care?…… Scarlett is done with Nike…… she’s not his labrat and you both are not allowed to toy with her feelings however you like!” Roonie spat and Naomi rubs her forehead.
” I made a mistake and I want to correct it…… just stay away from Scarlett and let me reunite her with her true love” Naomi said and Roonie claps his hands mockingly.
“Woah…….you must be a keeper…… first you destroyed their relationship and like now want to fix it….. bravo! is that how you go about destroying and fixing people’s happy relationships!?………….” Roonie continued mockingly.
” I didn’t mean to cause much damage……I was just jealous but now I have realized my mistake and I want to fix it……… stay away from Scarlett” Naomi threatened.
Ronnie grabbed her middle arm as he squeezed it tightly…… making her yelp in pain.
“The next time you come to me with such threats?…….I will fùcking disfigure you stupid face ” he said in a low tone as he shoved her away…….
Glaring at her as he walked away……
” You can’t stop me Roonie…… I’m going to reunite them and that’s a promise I intend to keep….” Naomi said smirking.
Private Hospital 🏥
Helen’s eyes flutters open as she held her banging head……she sat up slowly as she looks around trying to figure out where she is
Her legs were bandaged and she didn’t feel much pains anymore.
” Mom?” Olivia called as she entered….. hugging her immediately.
” Olivia……are you okay?” Helen asked and Olivia nods virgoursly.
” How’s your leg…..the bullets were successfully removed three days ago…I hope you are much better now?” Olivia asked.
“I’m fine…… it’s just that things are so complicated and I’m sorry for getting you involved in all of these madness ” Helen said.
” Mom……I had to swear not to say anything to my closest friend just save our lives…… Mom we have to do something or else this man might hold you captive forever” Olivia said in tears and Helen covered her mouth instantly.
The door opened again and Monica walked in with smiles.
” You’ve been a very good girl Olivia…….” Monica said as she stood…..her hands on her waist while the other hand held a gun.
” Let my mother go……we promise not to say anything just let her go” Olivia said pleadingly and Monica scoffed.
” No can do girlie………we will let her go once we are out of this country…….but for now she as to be under our watch….. just Incase you try to act funny” Monica said as she walked up to Helen…..the held the gun tightly….
“You are just like your father….. evil…… what do you plan on gaining from this? ” Helen spat and Monica smirks.
” You will find out soon enough” Monica said as she started leaving but Olivia stoped her.
” Why are you doing this?…….. just let us go……I already stopped talking to Abigail…..” Olivia said and Monica scoffed.
” We will let you go once we’ve accomplished out mission….. and if you try to act funny then I won’t hesitate to end the both of you!” Monica semi yells as she walked out the door.
” We are helpless…… what do we do?” Olivia asked.
She sat down as she cried her eyes out and Helen held her shoulders.
” We don’t have a choice Olivia……..if we must make it out of here alive then we have to keep quiet……we can’t risk getting killed” Helen said and Olivia stared at her with hurt.
There is no way she’s going to just sit back and watch these people ruin their lives.
Cleaning her eyes as she stood up.
“I’m sorry mother……but I have to take things in my own hands…….I won’t let them win ” Olivia said and she started leaving.
“Olivia wait……… ” Helen trails but she was gone.
“Don’t do anything foolish ” Helen mutters as she covers her face with both hands tiredly.
Chapter 47 & 48 : Facing Fears
Olivia stormed out of the place as her chest was heaving heavily……her eyes were red as she stumbled into Monica for the second time
” Let my mother go this instant” Olivia said and Monica smirks.
” And why should I?…….. like I said….. until my family is complete and out of this country…… your mother stays with us” Monica said heartlessly.
” If you don’t let my mother go……. I’m going to do something you are going to regret” Olivia said and Monica scoffed.
” What can you do?……..blow up the place?” Monica smirks.
Olivia eyes caught the gun laying on the table and an idea forms in her head…….she looks around and Grande and his goons are not close by
” I don’t intend to blow the house…….but you are not going to like my next action….. just let my mother go” Olivia said as her eyes darts on the table stylishly.
” Make me……go ahead and do something” Monica said mockingly as she stood up and walked towards the winery….. Olivia’s eyes widened as she made for the table.
Grabbing the gun with shaky hands……..she points it towards Monica as she was backing her.
” If you don’t let my mother go…..I will shoot you” Olivia voice came out almost in a whisper as she felt the loaded gun…….her whole body vibrating…..she has never held a gun before but that’s not the point right now…….her mother is way more important.
” You are such a……..” Monica trails as she turned around and her jaws dropped instantly……the filled glass in her hand fell and smashed into pieces.
She backed away slowly as Olivia walked tactly towards her…..her hands obviously shaking.
” Where did you get that?” Monica said in a hush tone as fear was written all over her.
” Guess you aren’t smart enough to put your weapons under check……so foolish!” Olivia goshed at her luck but still maintained a safe distance
” Becareful with that…….” Monica shrieks as she continues to step back.
” Get me and my mother out of here and I won’t kill you” Olivia threatened and Monica gulped.
The door opened and Grande walked in but stopped dead on his tracks as he saw his daughter on gun point.
Olivia saw him but still maintained her cool…..her hands were slightly shaking.
” What’s going on here?” Grande asked as he raised his hand slightly….. trying not to come close as Olivia smirks.
” Release me and my mother and your daughter won’t die….” Olivia said.
“‘ What in the hell?…” Grande asked in shock and Monica was sweating……. holding her hands up in the air.
It’s very evident that Olivia hasn’t used a gun before but with one slight mistake she could pull the trigger and that’s the end.
” Do exactly as I say or I will kill her!!!!” Olivia yells and Grande brought out his phone…. trying to dail.
” Make any call and I will blow off her skull…… I’m not joking…” Olivia said as her index finger click and Monica yells subconsciously.
” Dad just do what she says…..I don’t wanna die!!!” Monica yells and Grande slowly puts his phone away….. Olivia watched his every move as he took his telecommunicator.
” Don’t play with me” Olivia said with all seriousness and Monica stood still…..sweat dripping from her forehead.
” Get the woman here……no weapons” Grande said with utmost difficulty and Olivia smirks……her direction still on Monica and within a few minutes….. Helen was brought out.
” Olivia…” Helen trails as Olivia pulled her close….. using the other hand to point at Monica.
” Tell your Dad to dismiss all his securities…… giving us free access out of here…..” Olivia said and Monica head snapped towards her dad.
” Let them go freely Dad….. please” Monica pleaded and Grande’s jaw hardened.
If he makes any move…… he’s going to lose his daughter…..he can’t risk it.
Raising the telecommunicator to his mouth.
” Let them go…..no hidrance” Grande mutters and Olivia pulled stunned Helen.
Still pointing the gun as she gestures for Monica to lead the way.
” If you try to follow us……she dies” Olivia said and Monica lead the way out till they got to the main gate.
Stepping out of it and Olivia ordered Monica to stay back inside and shut the gate.
” How did you get the gun?” Helen mutters and Olivia smirks.
” Let’s just say that I was lucky” Olivia said and a black car pulled up and they entered….. zooming off.
Monica came out immediately and tightens her fists.
” That bitch just outsmarted me…… damn!” Monica cussed.
” Let them go……I still got my eyes on them” Grande said behind her as he pulled his tab……on it was a tracking device and it was beeping red as the dots moved on the screen.
Monica smiles mischievously as she walked up to her Dad.
” You are always one step ahead……” Monica said and Grande smile….. taking his daughter hand as they walked in.
The Next Day 🥺
The exams were over and all the school premises were decorated in a party mode as Ashley stood up front….. monitoring the events for the night.
” Everything is slowly falling in place” Tonia said as she stood behind her.
” I know right….. Dylan is totally into that girl…..I need her out of the way…..fast” Ashley said and Ruthie appeared…. George was behind her
” Hey crew…. how’s everything coming along?” Ruthie asked smartly.
” Great…..the party ground is set…. what’s the time?” Tonia said as Ashley continues to order the workers around.
” 4:30…….three hours left” Ruthie said and George chuckles.
” I so can’t wait” he said walking away as he heads to the hostel.
” Awwww…..I feel so sorry for him……. he’s so innocent and gollible” Ruthie said and Tonia smiles.
” It doesn’t matter…… besides he’s not in love with Vanessa so he doesn’t stand anything to lose” Tonia said brashly and Ashley nods
” She’s right…… I’m the one in love here and Vanessa is a pain to our asses so she needs to go….. remember the plan….” Ashley said walking away from them.
” Ashley annoys me…..but if we want to kill that sasquatch…..we just have to work with her” Ruthie said and Tonia grined.
” She’s so bossy……I hate her” Tonia said as she rolled her eyes.
” Tell me about it” Ruthie chimed in as they followed her.
Abigail finished her shower as she stepped out and yells as she saw Olivia……she wasn’t expecting her and she clenched onto her towel.
Her gaze trails over to the older lady that looks alot like Olivia.
” Didn’t mean to scare you…… this is my mom” Olivia said and Abigail gasped…… did Olivia just talked to her?
” Ohhh….. Hi Mrs” Abigail said akwardly and Helen smiles.
” We don’t have much time……you need to know the truth” Helen said and Abigail furrows her eyebrows.
What’s she talking about?
Olivia brought out the gun and placed it on the ground…… Abigail shrikes at the sight of it.
” Abigail……you and your brother are big danger…….. that’s part of the reasons I have been avoiding you…..I didn’t want you to get hurt” Olivia said remosrefully and Abigail tightens the towel on her chest.
” I don’t understand……. what happened?” Abigail asked and Olivia pulled her close.
” Vanessa’s Dad is out to get the documents my mother sent to you guys……” Olivia said and Abigail gasped.
” But why?……those belong to my mother” Abigail said and Helen sighs.
” Technically they don’t…… your mother actually stole them but due to the illegal businesses Grande is in to……that prevented him for fighting for the documents legally….. look where’s the documents?” Helen asked and Abigail had already started to fidget.
” Tell Abbie to bring the documents……I have a plan” Olivia said and Abigail looks at her.
” We just have to beat them in their own game…… since they think they are so smart…… let’s see them handle a switcheroo” Olivia said as she dips her hands into her hair…… pulling out the tracking device…..she smirks.
” They think I wouldn’t know where I’m being bugged” Olivia said as she dips her hands into Helen’s hair and pulled out another tracking device…….
” The devices are still active” Helen said and Olivia smirks.
” Then they just have to think they are still on us while I carry out my plan….. Abigail can you trust me?” Olivia asked and Abigail nods slightly
In a flash….. Olivia headchuges Abigail and she fell down unconsciously…… putting the tracking device on in her hair and Abigail groans
” Why did you have to hit me so hard?” Abigail mutters and Olivia bits her lips.
” You wouldn’t have stood still if I you knew what I wanted to do” Olivia said and Abigail held her neck in pains.
” You are my mother’s closest friend right?” Abigail asked Helen.
” Yes…… And I need to see Vanessa immediately…… it’s time for her to know the whole truth” Helen said and Olivia smirks…..
” Tell Abbie to come here with the documents” Olivia said and Abigail nods bringing out her phone.
” What are you planning?” Helen asked as she watched Olivia bringing out a bag from the outrance.
” They want the documents right?………and that’s exactly what we will give them” Olivia said as she pulled out a replica of the original documents and Helen smiles in satisfaction.
Abbie walked in and Olivia sat up instantly.
” I hope what you are doing is safe?” Abbie said and Olivia smirks.
” Just hand over the documents……” Olivia said as she took the original and gave Abigail the fake.
” Monica is going to attack you on the way since she thinks I’m the one with the tracking device but once she sees this document…..she will be distracted…. once you are on it …….Abbie and I will take the original and give it to the secret bank your mother told my mom about….. it’s going to be safe there” Olivia said.
” I still don’t get it” Abbie said and Olivia thumped his forehead….
” We are going to use Abigail as a distraction to get past Monica….” She said and they all nod.
” Abigail will have to go first” Olivia said and Abigail braced up as she heads out.
” Are you sure about this?” Abbie asked worriedly.
” This is definitely going to work” Olivia said with a smirk as they both walked out as well….. following Abigail from afar.
Vanessa giggled as she held onto Dylan…… walking out of the cafeteria and they stopped right in front of her hostel.
” The party is in two hours…..I better go get ready” Vanessa said and Dylan pouted.
” I don’t want us to go to that party….. let’s hang out instead…..you and me….in the cool night….. cuddling” he said and she laughed.
” Let’s go have fun and dance the school stress away…….you will be leaving me anyways since it’s your last semester here” Vanessa said and her face fell…… Dylan noticed it and pulled her in for a hug….. she returns it.
” We still see each other every single day…..I promise” Dylan said and she looks at him.
“You sure about that? ” Vanessa asked in a cute baby voice……
” Pinky promise” he said as he pulled out his smallest finger and she entertwined it with hers……he sealed it with a kiss and her eyes became watterly.
” Are you crying?” Dylan asked and she nods…..a tear slipping down her eyes.
Say it Vanessa…..you know it’s true.
It doesn’t matter if you say it first.
” I love you Dylan………” Vanessa said and Dylan’s facial expression changed instantly….. into a slight shock as her eyes darts over his face
She didn’t care if he doesn’t say anything…..as long as she’s let it out of her chest……. that’s all that matters to her right now.
” Vanessa………..” He trails as she kissed him instead……. holding onto his shoulder as she deepened the kiss…..all the locked emotions found it’s way through the kiss as they weren’t ready to let go yet.
It’s as if they are trapped in their world.
She pulled back and rubs his cheeks.
” It’s okay if you don’t know what your true feelings are yet…… I’m ready to wait” she said as she slowly let’s go of him.
Walking away as he stood transfixed……did she just profess her love to him.
Most importantly….. does he feel the exact same way for her?
” Don’t feel so special” George’s cold voice disrupted his thoughts and he slowly faced him.
” Are you really not tired dude?” Dylan asked sheepish and George walked up to him….. their faces inches apart.
” Just because Vanessa said she loves you mean this battle is over…… Vanessa is mine and mine alone” George said as his breath fanned Dylan’s face.
” Can’t you see you’re just wasting your precious time…..go get a hobby” Dylan said and tried to leave but George held his middle arm.
” You think this is funny?……you think I’m joking?…….. watch your back because I’m about to hit you where it hurts…” George said and Dylan smirks.
” I don’t need to put up a fight with you…… Vanessa is mine and I’m going to ask her out tonight…..I shouldn’t be telling you this but it’s like you need some enlightenment…… back off ” Dylan said cockyly…….. making George frown.
” Don’t count your Dylans before they hatch” George said in a whisper as he walked away.
” Such a joker” Dylan said as he also walked away.
The happiness within him is way more important than some silly threat…… Vanessa just professed to him and he needs to let her know that he feels exactly the same way for her……. even more.
Vanessa got to the front of her room and held her chest tighly……. after seeing the reassurance in Dylan’s eyes…..she didn’t know when those words slipped out of her mouth but she doesn’t care either.
Truth be told….. these past few weeks with Dylan has been the most beautiful weeks of her life.
The way he looks at her…… talks to her……. makes her feel safe without a single doubt…… that’s just enough for her to know that he’s into her…….. she doesn’t care how long it takes for him to tell her how he truly feels but she’s more than ready to wait.
Oh she can’t wait for him to say those three words……she can already picture their lives together forever.
Getting married….. having kids…….
Wait….. hold up Vanessa……too fast.
She chuckles at her own thoughts as she walked in………. different scents of cologne hitting her nostrils as she shut the door behind
“Thank God she’s back ” Jessica said teasingly as she fixed her makeup.
” Yeah….. seems like someone is a little bit caught up in boy fever” Naomi teased and Vanessa blushed slightly.
“She just blushed…… told you she was with Dylan ” Scarlett pointed out and the girls laughed.
” It’s no new news that they are the new love birds in school………so tell me……. when is he going to ask you out officially?” Jessica said and Vanessa rolls her eyes playfully.
“I dunno ” Vanessa mutters and Jessica frowns.
“You are hiding something…… spill it……. did Dylan asked you out already? ” Jessica asked and Vanessa covers her face…… making the girls stare in anticipation.
“Well……I told him about my feelings ” Vanessa said and a loud sequel erupted from the girls.
“Oh my goodness!!!!!……. what did he say? ” Scarlett asked as her eyes scanned Vanessa.
“I didn’t let him say anything because I was unsure if I wanted to know what he has in mind……I have never confessed to a guy before….. I just wanted to let him know…………I’m confused ” Vanessa said and Jessica hugs her tenderly.
“It’s okay girl……. I’m sure Dylan loves you too ” she said and Vanessa looked at her.
“She’s right…..I mean all the signs are there……. just give it some time ” Scarlett said and Vanessa nods.
“Now go get your ass ready……we have a party to attend……I can’t wait to see the dripping look on Dylan’s face when he sees you ” Naomi teased and Vanessa laughs while heading for the bathroom.
“I’m sure Roonie is going to flip when he sees you Scar ” Jessica said and Scarlett chuckles…… hugging Jessica while the smile on Naomi’s face faded.
She quickly puts on a fake smile as they faced her……her stomach went sore at the mention of Roonie……….
” I’m ready” Tonia said as she was cladded in a Blue off shoulder crop top……. fitted with laced mini skirt and boots…….her hair is skillfully styled and her makeup was completely giving.
“me too'” Ruthie said as she was wearing the exact same outfit as Tonia…….but her crop top was red with shiny dots .
” I wonder where they are” Tonia said and the door opened reveling Ashley and George.
Their jaws dropped as George walked in…..he was looking hot! 🥵
“Woah you are looking spicy ” Ruthie said truthfully as she goshed over him.
” I know right” Tonia said and he simply shrugged his shoulders……..they are the least of his problems right now.
“So what’s the plan? ” George asked and Ashley pulled out the sachet from her purse…… handing it over to George and he collects it with glint in his eyes.
“Remember……you have to get close enough to put this in his drink……. Tonia….. Ruthie and I will be there to distract him……….we only get one shot at this ” Ashley said and George smirks.
“No problemo'” he said cockyly and walked out……in other not to look suspicious.
“Girls this is the moment we all have been waiting for……..no mistakes…….. remember the original plan and stay alert……. we’ve got this “. Ashley said and they nod.
Ashley went out first and Ruthie followed suit.
“Good bye Vanessa ” Tonia said mischievously as she walked out as well…….. everything is in motion.
