ROSE
I looked at her as Lucy made her look at her freshly washed and
puffy looking african Afro , she has grown so much , My 4 year
old sister is 27 now and she will be going to her first job ever
this was a milestone of her life , i took my phone and took a
shot. We had a rough time all our childhood life but i made sure
Amara never went to bed with a hungry stomach. She looked
at herself not quite sure of the hairstyle , Amara is nerdy , shy
and very quiet she doesn't like anything that will get her on the
spotlight . Her taking that receptionist job is really a push to her
introverted personality, she is going to be the face of such a big
company with a shy personality i can already see her smiling
with those dimples behind that desk as someone approaches
her.
Amara: How do i look?
Me: Beautiful.
Amara: Guys please don't lie , i don't want to jinx things at my
work place.
Me: You won't worry duckling. It's just a job you will nail it , you
the most smartest girl i know Amara, go get that job , for the
both of us we need that job.
Amara: I will.
She got up and gave me a hug and walked to storage to get hair
supplies
Lucy : So much pressure on the poor girl.
Me: I not pressuring her , I'm just worried.
Lucy: What you worried about?
Me: Amara has a very nice heart , i don't want people taking
advantage of her.
Lucy: They won't , it's a job momma bear she'll be okay , you
worry too much about Amara and even forget she's grown now
she's a woman.
Me: I know right (crying) I'm so proud for her My friend.
Lucy: You did well raising this lady.
She gave me a hug and we got to work. Amara was on her
phone checking up first day outfits.
Amara: What do you guys think of a long skirt and boots with a
sweater?
Lucy : you must be kidding , Girl get you a tight dress that's
going to measure your assets out.
Me: uhmm excuse me I'm going to work not in a brothel.
Lucy: Rose talk to your sister please , talk to your sister that
wants to dress up like a granny on her first day at work.
Me: Put on whatever you feel you will be comfortable in
Ammie.
Amara: exaclty and i am comfortable in a long skirt.
We talked about Amara's interview with the day quickly rushing
to sunset , i don't know if it was the universe favouring Amara
on her new job or what , but the time moved pretty fast. We
locked up the salon and went to grab takeaways for lunch then
headed home , we just got in and took off our shoes and tossed
ourselves on the couch watching our favourite reality show.
PEARL
It was getting dark and i didn't want to go home , i played with
the diamond necklace on my chest looking at the setting sun
through the glass wall. I'm Pearl a 35 year old woman , CFO of
the company, i work closely with Alpha . Alpha and I have
worked together for 4 years now , he is a hard man to warm up
too but he is very nice under that nutshell . My husband John
and i have been trying for a baby these past 2 years but
nothing, i didn't understand cause i had been checked by every
gynecology in town and i was fit to have a child , so was he . But
the bun just refuse to get in the oven . Alpha peeped at the
door , his deep voice disrupted me as i sinked deep in thoughts.
Alpha: You still in the office?
Me:Uhm no I was just leaving.
I said quickly packing up my files in my laptop bag.
Alpha: What's wrong? You look sad.
Me: Alpha we have sex everyday with John but nothing , I'm
trying so hard even eating home remedies to stimulate my
fertility but nothing.
Alpha: Then why don't you adopt?
Me: I don't want that.
Alpha: A Surrogate ?
Me: I want to carry my own child.
Alpha: opss that's a bummer , have you tried having sex with
another man?
He said with his head tilted playfully at me.
Me: I am a married woman Alpha .
Alpha: I'm not saying having it with me .
Me: I know what you mean you saying i should cheat.
Alpha: Cheating is a strong word, exploring that sounds nicer.
I took my bag and walked him out of my office.
Me: I am not cheating , exploring whatever you call it , i will
wait till it's the right time.
Alpha: The is never the right time , do it now and face the
consequences later.
Me: Is it you talking or your altered ego Beast?
Alpha: I have an altered ego?
Me: You do and he sucks !
Alpha: Ouch.
He said , i got in the elevator and left. Going to my car , i
drove home and walked in John wasn't home yet , the house
was dark. I lite up the lights and got into my slippers preparing
dinner. As it began raining.
DIANA
I sat on his comfortably laid down couches that took up space
in the dinning area watching a romantic movie , with some
wine and pop corn. He walked in the house his pitbull dog
barked running to him , he kneeled and brushed the big dog
talking sweet words to it , he then looked at me , i smiled.
Alpha: I thought i said get out of my house?
Me: I did and i came back.
Alpha: What for?
Me: I felt it will be selfish if i let you sleep alone .
Alpha : Well i have no problem sleeping alone not after what
you did?
Me: But it was just a harmless photo.
Alpha: It is harmless to me it could damage my reputation!
Me: So you saying I'm not worthy for you?
Alpha: Are you worthy of me?
I blinked with tears on the edge of my eyes .
Me: (mumbling) But..but..
Alpha: Don't you dare cry ! Don't you dare ! I gave you strict
instructions to get out of my house , how will you be worthy of
me if you don't obey? Diana you don't listen i want my girl to
listen to me when i talk , i wanted to be alone tonight but you
didn't listen and you here sobbing? Bitch get out .
Me: (sobbing) Alpha it's raining.
Alpha: you will sleep in the guest bedroom then , when i wake
up i want you gone , i will call you when i need you.
He walked up the stairs , i wiped my cheeks with finger
carefully so i don't poke my eye with my nails , i don't know
why he acts like this , one minute he wants me his needy for me
the next he just wants me to vanish , i sat down in his shirt ,
taking a handful of pop corns and shoving them in my mouth
sobbing.
[ THE FOLLOWING MORNING]
ALPHA
I woke up early the next morning for a jog , Diana was laying on
the couch with her head hanging on the edge , i walked over
and gently pushed her to the back rest and covered her in with
a fleece. I walked out the house and inserted my pods having
my run. I played on my favourite calm song , Gentleman by
Gallant.
[ I know it's winter somewhere,But it's spring time right
here,You need me to water the grass before it all disappears,So
you seek up that highschool shit,You need a college degree, so
you took all your tractions on me , tell me have you ever had a
gentleman]
I kept running down the road across the suburban houses
catching a breath and checking my timer , a two hour run was
okay for me , when it comes to gym i am addicted , i gym
everytime i get the chance too. I jogged to my house and got in
, my house was smelling oil, something was getting fried in here
, I walked to the kitchen it was Diana frying god knows what .
Me: What you doing?
Diana: Making breakfast.
Me: better open up the Windows cause whatever breakfast you
making smells awful.
She threw the spoon the table raising her hands showing she
surrendered.
Diana: I swear you getting paid for being a bastard Alpha .
Me: Thank you for the compliment you made my day.
I walked upstairs and had a shower preparing for work , i took
my jacket and walked downstairs heading to work , i walked in
the kitchen quickly blending myself a smoothie. I looked at her
as she paced my kitchen with my shirt on barefooted.
Diana: What !
Me: What am i not allowed to look now?
Diana: No you not allowed to look!
Me: You in my kitchen with my shirt on , with nails? i paid for,
hair ?i paid for , lashes? I , Alpha paid for , practically I'm your
daddy, i support you , young lady.
I took my smoothie cup and walked out , she was pissed to the
core but i didn't care. Even the piss she has I'm paying for that
shit.
AMARA
I got ready for work and tied my afro upright and walked out
with Rose kissing me goodluck, i crossed my fingers on the uber
, i took out my mini mirror and i looked at myself one more
time , i look cute , i kept staring at the mirror , admiring
myself, the minute the car stopped infront of the building with
tha Alpha sign i felt like telling him to take me home the nerves
i had. I walked out and carried my sling back , i took a deep
breath.
Me : Okay Ammie let's go kill this , let's go murder this job.
I walked in with my cheeks turning pink with excitement just
stepping on the shiney floors of Alpha sent butterflies in my
intestines. I got on the elevator and walked out to the top
floor that is where i will be working , i felt like fainting looking
at the beautiful poeple around , these people were dressed to
kill and here i was with my shirt and Dr Martin boots with a
tucked in sweater. I carried my sling bag looking around , i
looked at this office it had it's door slightly opened , with lion
door knobs, i looked around to see if the was anyone looking at
me , i walked in and the man perfume that ranked in the office
you'd swear the guy is inside , i walked in and looked at
ornaments on the room , touching the glass black table and
leather chair. I don't know but i felt the urge to seat on the
chair , i pulled the chair backwards and sat on it. I smiled feeling
so powerful.
Me: (playfully) Yes please darling , you cant get me a
cappuccino, add milk please and three cups.
I touched the laptop on the desk , slightly opening it a hardcore
, just a dark roaring voice that almost throw me off the seat
filled up the room.
Alpha: (yelling) What are you doing here ! What you doing in
my office!
I got up from the chair and brushed my sweaty palms on my
skirt. I couldn't say a word to him . It was just him yelling to the
top of his scary deep voice , it was Alpha , the one and Only
Alpha Thee Alpha , oh shit i fucked up .
Me: (muttering) i..i..i.
Alpha: (yelling) Pearl who the hell allowed this young lady in my
office?
Me: i..I'm sorry.
Alpha: What you doing here ?
Me: I'm here for the reception job.
Alpha: So what you thought my office was HR ? Does this office
look like HR to you?
I shook my hand playing with my fingers shamefully of what i
did. A lady walked in guess that was Pearl.
Pearl: What's going on?
Alpha: Pearl i need you to talk to the security to set boards up
this place that would show stupid people like this lady here
where HR is !
Pearl: Come on Alpha , she can't be that bad , she made a
mistake have mercy on her.
Alpha: The word mercy is invalid in my dictionary , get her out
of my office we don't even know if she's a thief or what !
Me: (shaking her head) No , No Sir , I'm not a thief.
Alpha: Who asked you ! Get out !
Pearl: Let's go sweetie.
She held my hand leading me out that monsters office , i looked
back as we walked out the door , he still had his eyes on me ,
looking like he'd jump at me and kill me the rage in his eyes.
Me: i will be that man's PA?
Pearl: unfortunately yes.
Me:Oh my god his so mean? How will i deal with that?
Pearl: Just do everything he says without questioning him you
will be okay.
I feel like taking this job up was a mistake , or was it?
To be continued.
What do you guys think of the story , too frictional or just
good?❤😢

ALPHA
My door was widely open since it was hot today after last
nights rain it got hot , i got up and took off my jacket hanging it
on the my chair , The girl was in the reception desk. I would
look at my laptop and steal glances of her . I unbuttoned my
shirt leaving only the 3 unbuttoned bottom buttons . I got up
and approached the door.
Me: (shouting) the hell are air cons in this building?
staff: They still fixing then sir.
Me: Damn it i hate incompetence!
She looked at me glancing at my body clearly looking like she
hasn't seen a guy half naked before , i looked at her.
Me: Looking at something you like?
Amara: No sir.
Me: What's your name?
She got up and approached me handing out her hand to me
giving me a big smile with dimples on both sides . I looked at
the hand , she looked down dropping her hand on the side.
Me: Are you dum ? I said what's your name?
Amara: Amara McKenzie Sir.
Me: Oh Okay Miss McKenzie , ain't you hot with you sweater?
Amara: Not at all , I'm used to these hot conditions so i adapted
to days that are sunn...
Me: Okay quiet ! I don't like long sentences, it's a yes or a no !
Amara: Yes sir.
Me: Go get me ice cold water.
I walked inside my office as she walked along going to get what
i demanded. The aircons were on now , i could work now. She
walked in the office blancing the glass of ice cold water .
Amara: Your water sir.
Me: too late I'm no longer feeling like ice cold water , get
yourself ready I'm going in a meeting in 2 minutes.
I took my laptop and walked to the boardroom. I only handled
the big clients and let Pearl deal with the small, I had a meeting
with Mr Prav that was advertising his wife's henna designs, for
an ad he paid 200k I'm a man in high demand they understand.
She sat besides me in the boardroom meeting with her notepad
and a pen that had a pink fluffy afro whatever that thing was
and it was annoying me. I let the client view the ad and he
nodded his head.
Me: (annoyed) i did this one myself.
Prav: I'm very impressed here Junior Smith.
Me: Alpha.
Prav: My apologie Alpha.
She kept writting down with her pen and fuffly part wiggly, i
looked at it as it distracted me from the client.
Me: Excuse me a little .
I walked to her and grabbed the pen off her hands smiling , i
replaced it with a black and matured pen.
Me: There you go (fakes a smile)
I continued with Mr Prav and he after the deal , i walked him
out the boardroom. I walked back in holding the pink pen. I
held it with both my hands and broke it apart , i threw it on the
floor the fear in her eyes. I walked out the boardroom to my
office.
ROSE
i looked at my phone trying to check of Amara had called but
she hasn't, i couldn't help but think maybe she lost the job and
she's scared to come home.
Lucy: Quit worry you will create bad lucks for her.
Me: She hasn't called.
Lucy: She's probably busy.
Me: Why can't she reply to my text atleast?
Lucy: She's busy P.A for the hottest guy .
Me: what you talking about?
Lucy: Alpha? You don't know Alpha?
Me: No what kind of name is Alpha?
Lucy: Where do you live ? Under a rock?let me show you.
She gave me her phone while i browsed on Alpha's profile.
Me: He looks dangerous.
Lucy: Oh come on Rose !
Me: no this guy looks mean as fuck.
Lucy: He actually is , he got that dark natural sexy side .
Me: No i don't approve of this job , it will emotional drain
Amara.
Lucy: She will decide that not you girl.
I handed her phone back , picturing my younger sister being
stared with such eyes all day long.
AMARA
I woman walked in , she looked like a model , the brands she
was wearing not to mention her wig it just swinging on her back
meant it was a real deal , she had a lunch box with a salad in.
She approached my desk and looked at me raising her nose.
Diana: You must be the new P.A?
Me: Yes Mem nice to meet you.
I handed outmy hand for a hand shake she gave me the same
look Alpha did. I don't want to lie i was close to crying now , i
felt my tears piling up my piling up , she walked to Alpha's
office, i looked down and blinked with tears falling on my
thighs. I tried getting a hold of myself , i took a packt of tissues
in my bag and wiped my eyes. Alpha's lunch was delivered,
Salad with half cooked steak , i didn't even have Lunch money
but it was okay i will drink water and eat home. I knocked on
the door.
Alpha: Get in.
He said with his deep demanding voice , The girl was sitting on
the chair corresponding his chair .
Me: your lunch Sir.
Alpha : Place it before me.
I got on his side of the table and placed the takeaway. The lady
looked at me in a very dangerous look.
Diana: Why you dressed like this?(laughs)
I looked at my outfit , looking around the room embarrassed , i
could feel my eyes filing up.
Alpha: How is she dressed?
Diana: She's wearing (she held on her chest and exhaled) Rags
(Laughs)
I couldn't take the emotional torture and embarrassment, A
whole woman making fun of another woman, i let my tears out
, with my hands shaking nervously.
Me: Ca..can i go now?
Diana: Where you going cause I'm not done!
Alpha focused on his lunch, cutting up the steak. He didn't pay
attention to what his wife or girlfriend was doing to me.
Me: (embarrassingly) I'm sorry.
She got up and walked to me holding my clothes like they were
dirty .
Diana: Where did you get this stuff , No baby , i think i should
donate her half my wodrope mean no i can't.
Alpha: I see nothing wrong in how she's dressed, she is pretty ,
cute , i like it.
i smiled a little through my tears , he looked at me. He took out
his handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it to me.
Me: Thank yo..
She grabbed the handkerchief off my hand .
Daina: Do you know how much it cost ? It could feed you and
your generations to come !
Alpha: (shouts) Diana stop it !
I felt my heart pounding out my chest , it beating on in my ear
like a drum.
Diana: i told you to give the job to my friend Alpha and this is
what you hand the job too? Mean look at her .
Alpha: i like her know why?
Diana: why?
Alpha: She doesn't have to beg up to a man to get fancy
clothes, i like your style Amara it's cute and not sluttish. You
may walk out that door and don't ever flood that pretty face
with tears bacause of worthless woman like Diana.
Diana's jaw dropped, i couldn't believe it too what mind of a
man that will speak ill of his woman like this if i was Diana i
would do some self discovery.
Diana: Oh really look who the lucky princess is , girl if i were you
i wouldn't be took by his sweet words this man is mine , he is
my Lucifer on earth ! And you look young ....and... tight , you
won't be able to handle him,After all his name is Fucken Alpha
my alpha !
She took her bag and walked out the office raising her middle
finger.
Alpha: Be at home when i get there !
He looked at me as i still stood on the same spot i was
humiliated in.
Alpha: I'm giving you the rest of the day off, you look exhausted
and don't mind her nonsense she just feels jelouse.
Me: thank you sir.
I walked out the office and closed the door behind me wiping
my tears using my sleeve, i should stop being so emotional ! I
felt weak broken down to my knees. But alpha said she jealous
of me , why would such a beauty lady like Diana be jealous of
such dirt like me . I requested a uber and i was driven home , i
laid on the window looking at the buildings as the car passed , i
was deep in my thoughts with Diana's words circulating in my
head telling me the best clothes in my wodrope were rugs , if
these were rugs imagine if i wore something else cause this
outfit is the best i could . I walked inside the salon , dragging my
feet .
Rose : Ammie? What's wrong? you see Lucy i told you ! I told
you they were going to emotional beat her down , what
happened?
Me: What happened? Nothing happen , i got the job and i wish
we had more , i will go sleep.
Rose: I'm sorry Ammie.
Lucy: I'm sorry too baby girl.
I walked out the salon to the our apartment i took off my
clothes and wore my animal jumpsuit and got into bed escaping
reality.
DIANA
I did go to Alpha's house and i did wait for him, his my man
after all . I was watching tv when he got back .
Me: You back early.
Alpha: This is my house i can come back anytime i want.
Me: I know.
I rolled my eyes , he looked at me confused.
Alpha: Did you just roll you eyes at me?
Me: No i didn't.
Alpha: So what I'm fool now?
Me: I'm sorry.
Shivering slightly from his voice and fear , i could get really
scared of Alpha at times , his commanding voice with his sharp
eyes and dark skinned body with upper cut and trimmed nicely
hairline , He is one of the man we call gorgeous man , i have
always thought maybe if i stay with him through his hundreds
moods he'd see me as his kind of girl and wife me , I'm here for
the ring i want that Mrs Smith title. Him and i are not in a
relationship atleast i think we in a relationship cause we fuck a
lot and I'm always around but with him we just like sex mates
and the annoying part about this whole thing , He has a big
crotch for a guy that actually goes to gym and drinks
supplements, when we intimate it feels like it has grown again
you never could get used to it. He approached me on the couch
and sat next to me. He smiled slightly bitting his dark lips that
perfectly cared for , fine as hell .
Alpha: Come here why you running away from me?
Me: I'm not.
I got closer to him seating next to him.
Alpha: (demanding) opening your thighs.
I slightly opening up my thighs he placed his hand on my thighs
and gave me a list of printed rules.
Me: Alpha what are these ?
Alpha: Rules or let's call them terms and conditions of our little
arrangement
He moved to the egde of the couch and and laid me on my back
, wripping the dress i had on , he tackled me like i was
nothing , i screamed.
Alpha: I left work to do this activity with you , don't you feel
guilty that you made a girl younger than you insecure about
herself. I believe in feminism and you should be a disgrace to
even be called a woman .
He loved touching my skin , after a few careless touches , he
inserted his hand in the middle of my bra he gripped on it with
one hand and wripped it off my skin , i felt the pain cause my
Bra was tight i had to show my boobs.
Me: (whispers in fear) A..Alpha...
Alpha: Shut up ! You weren't whispering when you told that girl
i had a big dick !
Me: I'm sorry i was angry and jealous!
Alpha : Read rule number one.
I took the paper and and looked at the first rule.
Me: Alpha is not my man , he never will be ( sobbing)
Alpha: number two?
Me: We are just fucking no string attached.
Alpha: number three?
Me: Alpha is the only person that determines if the is a
relationship or not.
Alpha: the Last one?
He looked at me smiling , i swallowed a lump.
Me:Is this one really necessary?
Alpha : if you know what's right for you , you will read it.
Me: I'm a gold-digger .
I said rolling my eyes . He got up , unbuttoning his shirt walking
up the stairs.
Me: Here i am thinking you will fuck the living brains out of me
but it's just these rules what ever you call it.
Alpha: You wanted sex?
Me: Yes !
Alpha: Go get sex then , i decided that I'm saving myself up
for my future wife. I ain't got no crotch to feed you greedy
whores.
Me: And when you horny cause you always horny, Alpha : I'll
juck it off.
He disappeared in the staircase, what the hell is wrong with
him? First he wanted me to delete the photo i took of him,
secondly now his making rules drawing boundaries and now no
sex ! He is getting a new coochie somewhere , his cheating.
PEARL
I prepared dinner and we both sat down on the table having a
meal together , with just quietness between me and my
husband. I played with my ring looking at him as he fed on his
food.
John: Is there something you want to talk about?
Me: I will ask you this question and i need a honest answer.
He placed his fork and knife and looked at me chewing his
meat.
Me: Are you... cheating on me?
He choked on the meat and took the beer besides him, he
drank it up .
John: What did you hear, from who?
Me: What do you mean John , so you are cheating?
John: I'm not cheating i just wanted to know who's feeding you
this nonsense that i was cheating.
Me: Mean that's the only possible answer for us not having
children , we are both okay ain't we so why we not getting
children?
John: Why does it have to be me what about you?
Me: the only possible explanation is that you have intimate
relationship with girls on the otherside and when you come to
me you shoot blanks cause your sperm is weak.
John: Shoot blanks? What the fuck ! I won't talk to you about
this !
Me: Babe you just need to got to men's clinic.
He shoved the chair backwards and got up.
John: Excuse me Mem what did you do to my wife? Cause this
ain't the woman i married! No i refused!
He walked up the stairs and climbed down.
John: Who the hell are you Pearl telling me I'm shoot blanks if
you think you can do better take this scrotum sac and get
yourself pregnant! The hell telling me I'm shooting blanks ! You
the on with dead ovaries here you reaching 40 now lady didn't
you think that ! Facts !
He got up the stairs and slammed the door to the room i
covered my face with my hands.
To be continued.

[TWO WEEKS LATER ]
AMARA
It's been a two weeks now and i haven't set foot in Alpha
advertisement company. I haven't seen Alpha for a full week ,
My sister made me choose and i had to choose her , she's my
family , my only living and breathing bloodline , i couldn't
choose my job over family . I woke up kicking off my blankets
and went to shower, i wore an oversized hoody since people
have noticed it was me the girl in the white dress a few have
but i know news spread like wildfire here , i had to hide myself i
can't have paparazzi following me around , i inserted my
earphones listening to music as i swept the hair off the floor. I
even went to the extent of mopping the floor and kneeled
applying polish , i wanted to be kept busy cause when i just seat
around doing nothing , i miss my work, i miss being bossed
around by Alpha , i miss him , his voice , his smell, his touch.
Lucy tapped me as i was crying scrubbing the floor. I removed
my earphones still looking down .
Me: what?
Lucy: Rose is not here , she went to buy us food.
Me: Okay Lucy.
Lucy: You know that the floor is clean enough right.
Me: I don't care.
I kept scrubbing the floor, she held my hand and helped me up.
I wiped my eyes with my sleeve.
Lucy: Talk to me?
Me: I miss my work, i was doing so fine Lucy .
Lucy: i know you were.
Me: I wasn't sleeping with you , you believe me right?
Lucy: Even if you were sleeping with Alpha that was going to be
your business and his , you are a full grown woman now, If You
will keep on doing this, you will miss out on a good time , let's
say you did pursue whatever was blooming between you and
Alpha and it happens to be lust , if you were happy with him for
that short period of time then nothing else should matter.
Me: But that nothing else matters , that's my sister.
Lucy: When it comes to that person , i just lose my mind .
Me: Me you both.
We both laughed, Rose walked in with the takeaways, we
quickly stopped laughing.
Rose: What's funny?
Lucy: Some facebook post.
Rose: May i see.
Lucy: so let's see what we eating.
She looked at me suspiciously, i took my plate and stuffed
myself with food.
PEARL
My Mother had to come and take care of me , i have spent full
two weeks in hosipital with the doctors telling me when i fell
off the stairs i broke my spine with caused damage to my spinal
cord due to that damage i was paralyzed, they had no hope
that i will walk ever again . I had almost 4 doctors check me up
just for solutions. But they all came back with the same
response. I haven't seen John since the incident , My mom said
he packed his bags and left the house. He better run with what
he did to me he better run faster than his legs could carry him.
Gloria: Pearl , are you going to tell me what happened?
Me: Ma i already told you, i fell accidentally .
Gloria: Are you sure?
Me: Yes Ma , are you thinking maybe it was a perpetrated act?
Gloria: The doctors said it looked like you were pushed with the
amount of damaged done to your spine.
Me: No Ma they wrong, i want to rest.
Gloria: You tend to forget that I'm your Mother Pearl , i know
when you are being unhonest.
Me: Close the door behind you please.
Gloria: Pearl !
Me: (yelling) Ma No ! Please .
Gloria: Don't you ever yell at me ! I'm here trying to figure out
what happen and you here yelling at me ! You are wheelchair
bound and you still have the nerve to protect that monster !
She grabbed her bag and walked out the room , i covered my
head with the blanket and cried . My mom has never liked John
she felt he didn't love me but was after what i can offer , Yes I
have the highest salary in our home but i felt that was reason
enough that he loves me , Mean how many men could marry a
woman that gets paid more than them? Men like power, they
believe in superiority and John found that as a joke , he made it
clear we were a team it doesn't matter who gets paid the most
, but now after the incident i was beginning to agree with my
mom , John was really after my money .

Amara has really disappointed me. I never thought just because
i kissed her , she'll even drop work it was a mere kiss for
goddamn it's not like we had sex , very unprofessional how she
handled this situation, we could've talked things out and set
boundaries that weren't meant to be crossed but she chose to
just drop work . Unfortunately due to the circumstances i had
no choice but to employ Diana as my personal assistance. She
knew me better as was jobless so she is the perfect candidate.
With the Reporters harassing me asking me about the woman i
was with 2 weeks ago a woman that suddenly disappeared but i
got a request from a late night tv show with Angela to clear the
air about the woman i was seen with . I sat down with Diana as
we made a few touch ups before i go present the huge ad i
have been working on for sleepless nights.
Me: bring those files.
She got up and took the bulk of files handing them to me , i
took the files with our hands touching , i looked at her as she
still held on the files.
Me: Will you give me the damn files?
Diana: Sorry , i just thought...
Me: Your thoughts don't matter here ! Give me the damn files .
She gave me the files , i clicked my tougue in fume.
Diana: Is there anything you need?
Me: No .. here take these 4 files and summaries them all in a
paper that will be easier for the client's to understand.
Diana: All four?
Me: Is there a problem?
Diana: No just that...
Me: Confidence ! The first law of any business is for the
employees to have confidence! No confidence! No business !
No job ! Go summaries those files . Get out ! Now ! And while
you still at that serve me coffee , black with no sugar and clear
my dairy. And again Diana, don't let anyone in my office
appointment or not , i don't want to see anyone .
Diana: Noted .
Me: Noted?
Diana: Understood.. Sir.
Me: Now get out.
She walked to the door struggling to open the door , she
dropped the files on the floor they made a bang disrupting me ,
i looked at her . All she knows is opening her legs she can't even
do a simple job like holding 4 files and balancing them on her
arm . I looked at her annoyed. She collected the files and
walked out closing the door.
Me: Damn amateur!
DAINA
I sat down on the desk and took a book , trying to summarise
the 4 files in one paper , this was hard . Being a PA is hard it
isn't as what it seems in movies where the PA's dress pretty and
just carry a note pad and a pen just taking notes . I felt like I'm
HR . I held the pen summarizing the notes .
ROSE
Amara is actually doing fine without that job she is back to
normal to the Ammie i know. And i am very proud of her . I
walked to the couch and sat next to her , she got up .
Me: Ammie can we talk ?
Amara: If this is about Alpha I'm not interested.
Me: It's not about him , it's about us.
Amara:What about us?
Me: Our relationship, i don't like how we going on i feel like we
drifted away from each other.
Amara: Yes we did , the day you decided to be my mother
and not my sister!
Me: Amara i was trying to ..
Amara: Protect me ? From what? From my job ? Or are you
jealous Rose ? Are you Jealous that Alpha will fall inlove with
me and i will fall inlove with him and leave you? Are you that
Jealous of your own sister to the extent you force me to stay
away from my future?
Me: That is not true !
Amara : (yelling) What is true then!
Me: I don't want you to get hurt!
Amara: Since when have you predicted the future? You don't
even know Alpha but you have already charged and jailed him!
Me: I am your sister, when you hurt i do too what is hard to
understand here?
Amara: know what it doesn't matter anymore, i chose you so
deal with how things are between us !
She got up furious and walked to the counter collecting money
and piece of paper walking out the salon. I held my tears back .
Me: big girls don't cry.
I wiped the eye bags that were filling up with tears and took a
deep breath.
To be continued.

AMARA
I woke up and walked to the kitchen , the minute my eyes laid
on Rose , i turn walking back to my room
Rose: Ammie.
I turned and gave her a non nonsense taking look.
Rose: You have every right to be angry at me.
Me: Damn right i do !
Rose: Come seat please sweetheart i want to talk to you.
I walked over and sat down . She offered me a cup of coffee but
that cup wasn't going to soften me up just yet , i was still angry
at her.
Me: What is it Rose.
Rose: I want to say I'm sorry , for everything that includes
hitting you and insulting you i shouldn't have done that and i
feel bad about that.
Me: you should feel bad ! I had my life all figured out and now
back to square one because of you.
Rose: (crying) I'm sorry Amara
I got up and walked to her hugging her from behind, she held
on my hands and kissed them, i wiped her tears.
Me: I forgive you Rose, but please you have to trust me , i will
never let a man play with me . Alpha wasn't going to play with
me cause we nothing to each other , i was his employee and he
was my boss.
Rose: I know, i just felt the urge to protect you against him.
Me: Alpha is not that much of a threat to me he might look
hardcore but his totally a sweet ....teddy bear like a softy .
Rose: A teddy bear? Really is that how you will describe him?
Me: I was going to say sweet but teddy bear hit my mind first.
Rose: Now can we have our mornings like how we used too?
Laughing and having hot coffee?
Me: I will make us a cup then when I'm done I'll go get ready , i
have an interview.
Rose: Fingers crossed.
Me: And this time i hope i will go to work in peace .
Rose: but you don't have too go for an interview you can go
back to Alpha maybe he will understand.
Me: It's Alpha we talking about here , he will first bite my head
off then maybe give me my job back which is impossible.
Rose: These no faulty in trying .
Me: I will go there maybe when I'm done with my interview.
I made the coffee and we sat down chatting, she kept holding
my hand against her cheek , i onced enjoyed it when i was
young but now it was awkward when she does it. I looked at
her as she played with my fingers.
Rose: what's wrong?
Me: Why do you like placing my hand on your cheek or kiss
them ?
Rose: I'm your sister I'm showing affection.
I sipped on my mug and laughed.
Me: Your affection is getting weird now since I'm a grown
woman.
Rose: You will always remain my little Ammie.
Me: Okay if you say so, let me go get ready.
I got up and walked to my room getting ready for my interview
. I did some touch ups tieing my hair upright. I walked out the
room , Rose was washing the dishes.
Me: And?
Rose: You look amazing.
Me: Don't say it because you my sister .
Rose: i mean it you look gorgeous they would be fools no hiring
you.
Me: thank you Rose for everything, if it weren't for you i
wouldn't be the woman i am today.
Rose: You don't need too I'm your big Sis , i did what i was
supposed too.
Me: Let me go secure that job .
Rose: You do that please .
I walked out the house and requested a uber , i got in the car
and sat down rehearsing my introduction. I can be very nervous
when being interviewed and find myself tumbling on my words.
I got off the car and walked in the company, the boss
interviewed me asking for references and i couldn't give him
Alpha's number what if he jinx's this for me , i gave him My
sister's and Lucy's they will just pretend they were my ex
bosses.
CEO: We will contact you.
Me: Thank you sir.
CEO: Call the next person.
I took my bag and walked out . I swallowed my pride and really
went to Alpha advertisement company. As i walked in the stuff
looked at me , some whispering "it's her , oh my word it's true"
i got on the elevator, I was confused what was going on. As the
Elevator doors opended up , Diana was on my seat at the
reception, wow that was fast. I walked over the table.
Me: Hi , is Alpha in?
Diana: No.
Me: Ain't you going to call?
Diana: No ! His not here Mem now go.
I walked over this office, she ran after me , i swinged the door
open and really he was in the office, he raised up his head and
looked at me.
Me: Alpha can i talk to you for a minute.
Alpha: Diana did i say i don't want no one to disturb me.
Diana: I told her you didn't want to see anyone but she thinks
she's made it in life because you just held her hand , she walked
in forcefully.
Me: Alpha please , i want to talk to you.
Diana: Mem please leave .
Alpha: Call security.
He looked at his laptop resuming with work. I walked over to
his desk.
Me: Please i want to talk to you , Alpha look at me ! Please.
He bluntly pretended like i wasn't even in the room.
Diana : The she is , get her out.
Me: Alpha .
They grabbed me dragging me out his office and he said
nothing, he didn't even look at me.
Me: Okay ! Let me go i will walk out on my own.
Diana stood at the reception holding on her waist smiling.
Diana: And may this be the last time you come here!
I looked at her and got in the elevator the minute the doors
closed i broke down in tears. He let them dragged me out ,
Alpha hates me. I wiped my chin that was flooding in tears , i
walked out the building and a whole ground of reports ran to
me with camera's flashing my eyes . Some crowding me with
questions.
Reporter 1: What kind of relationship do you share with Mr
Smith?
Reporter 2: Were you a one night stand? How did you meet
him?
Reporter: Why are you crying is it because thee Alpha broke up
with you after your relation was exposed in the night show?
Reporter 3 : How long have you been together?
Reporter 4: Answer us .
I got dizzy from the shots taken , i could barely move or see
what where i was going they crowded me from all sides ,
showering me with questions i even didn't know how to
answer. I took my phone out and requested a near by uber
the minute it arrived i got in the car .And he droved off. I held
my forehead taking deep breaths. Just inhaling and exhaling the
stress and fear i had inbetween those cruel people.
DIANA
I made the call informing the press she was here i had to do it
, the people deserved answers. He was at the window looking
down at the pack of people as they spread away.
Alpha: This is all your doing isn't it?
Me: Excuse me?
Alpha: I wont repeat myself.
Me: Wait Alpha are you accusing me of calling the press on
Amara? Why would i do that ? What will i gain from doing that?
He walked to the table and looked at me , i began shaking.
Alpha: Who is making a fool out of who here?
Me: I am not making a fool out of you Alpha , i swear , i would
never do such a thing to you.
Alpha: You even have the nerve to lie in my face Diana.
I swallowed a lump and looked at him . He walked to me his jaw
muscles move , he tried cooling his temper but i saw right
through him he was fuming.
Me: I'm sorry okay it was me , i sent the picture to Angela and i
called the press , I'm sorry.
Alpha: Kneel.
Me: What!
Alpha: i won't repeat myself.
I descended to the floor and kneeled. He unzipped his pants
and took out his crotch.
Alpha: You know what to do.
I didn't know if sucking his dick was punishment or was it
pleasure but either way i was going to swallowing that cock. I
licked my lips holding that dick with both my hands getting a
tight grip on it , i twirled my tongue on the head , i let the
tongue be the guide as my mouth wrapped around it. I stroked
on it sloshing it deep in mouth and gagged i did this process for
almost 15 minutes just stroking him in my throat . He groaned
and held my head stroking himself , i felt it stretch my mouth
opening as he stroked in deep in my throat, i held on his legs
, closing my eyes as a tear escaped my eye i had swallowed the
whole dick with just my chin pressed on his balls , i gagged on it
with all the breakfast i had going up my throat . He still was
inside my mouth deep in my throat without a warning he
cummed in my throat .i pushed him off and landed on the
floor coughing , i held on my throat that had hot semen
descending down slowly , crying , he tucked his dick in and
fastened his belt.
Me: (crying) Are you crazy (gags)
I gagged threatening to vomit.
Alpha: If you dare vomit on my floor ! You will clean this whole
building, Get out , and if you dare cross me again i will have you
swallowing the balls too bitch.
I got up and helped my mouth running to the bathroom , i
kneeled on the floor infront of the toilet vomiting.
PEARL
I was discharged to go home today. I wanted to begin
Physiotherapy but how with my legs dead , i could barely stand
what was walking? So Physio was out of question , i was
wheelchair bound. Ma pushed my wheelchair.
Me:Ma i can pushed myself.
Gloria: Pearl please let me help you?
Me: (shouting) Ma i said i can push myself ! I have hands for
heaven sake ! (crying) Please !
Gloria: I'm sorry Pearl ! I'm sorry for being your mom ! I'm sorry
for wanting to help my baby ! I'm sorry.
Me: I didn't mean it that way.
Gloria: In what ever way you meant it I'm sorry.
Me: Ma , I'm sorry okay.
Gloria: I know this is hard for you baby , but pushing me away
won't make it easy for you , I'm here as your mother, i love you
and i will do whatever it takes for you to get back on your feet ,
okay.
I nodded my head , she leaned and gave me a hug kissing my
forehead.
Gloria: I love you and i care about you.
We got in the house and she helped me sit on the couch while
she prepared a salad for me , i was sitting in the exact place
were he threw the glass at me. I relived that moment and held
on my chest , holding the necklace he bought me on our first
date. I cried questioning myself what went wrong? Did we have
to end up here? What did i do that was so wrong that god had
to not give me children? I am not a bad person , i did no one
damage to the extent i had to be punish in this way.
To be continued.

ROSE
She walked in the salon crying , i dropped the comb on the
floor. And walked to her , she tossed herself in my arms.
Me: What's wrong?
Amara: He hates me.
Me: Who? Alpha.
Amara: (nodding) Yes he hates me. He didn't even look at me
Rose.
Me: Okay let's seat you down and you calm down and tell me
what happen.
She sat down and wiped her tears calming herself down.
Amara: I did exactly as you told me , he called security to escort
me , i didn't even have a chance to speak with him , he did even
look at me or say a word , he hates.
Me: He doesn't hate you , he is just angry at you and wants to
hurt you the way you hurt him when you disappeared, Men do
that when they love a woman , when you hurt them they use
every opportunity to get you back.
Amara: He doesn't love me Rose. Why would he love him ? I'm
just a usual girl whose parents dumped her , He was right, i am
a fool , I'm foolish.
Me: You are not a fool ! Never ever will you be , you are the
most beautiful girl i know and Alpha will be a fool to not see
that. Don't you ever shed a tear ever again okay.
Amara: I'm fine now , i just needed to cry it out , I'll go wash my
face.
She got up and walked to the bathroom. I took my phone and
bag and requested a uber , i had to deal with guy , i will not
have my daughter crying everytime she's with him . I could see
Amara is falling for this guy .
ALPHA
I was buried in my work trying to keep my mind busy cause the
minute i stop working she slips in my mind. My phone kept
buzzing non stop. I heard very loud chant outside.
Diana: Mem you can't go in there !
Woman: If you dare walk to me you will know why Roses have
torns ! I dare you
The door slammed open as a woman walked in , she looked at
me with her bag on the shoulder. She banged it on the table.
Me: what the hell is going on here ? Who are you. Diana!
Diana: Alpha i don't know her.
Me: Close the door .
She closed the door , the woman looked at me with a frowned
on her face , I noticed she looked like Amara .
Me: You must be Amara's sister.
Woman: I'm Rose if you wondering.
Me: Nice to know you Rose and what do i owe the pleasure to
be come seen by such a woman.
Rose: This is not a social visit.
Me: Oh i didn't know you had a business to advertise? But i
doubt you will afford my services.
Rose: Listen here you stupid fool , i am sick to the absolute tired
of you always treating Amara like shit ! Can't you see you
hurting her?
Me: Mem , Amara dropped her work and disappear, i will not
have such in my business , i am running a business here not a
charity case.
Rose: I am not here because of that lover boy ! You kissed her
and made her feel like you wanted her and now you playing
with her ? Do you even love her?
Me: We kissed each other and it was a mistake these things
happen so let her deal with it like a grown woman.
Rose: Say it ! That you don't love !
She slammed her hand on the table, i looked at her with anger ,
i hate being disrespected.
Me: Get out.
She laughed and took her bag.
Rose: I have no problem with you falling for Amara but what
I'm not going to deal with is you always making her cry , you
will have me personally to deal with , and i will break you, i
have been through so much you don't want to mess with me ,
so you better man up !
She clicked her tongue and walked out. I looked at her and
chuckled. Looks like Amara is born in a family of strong
woman , if that's her sister imagine their mother. I called Diana.
Me: Do i have a meeting today?
Diana: No .
Me: Good bring me Amara's file from HR , I'm going home.
Call me if the is any emergencies.
Diana: Will do.
Me: Today was just very entertaining.
She walked in and handed me the file , I took my laptop bag
and walked out the office. I walked outside the building the
reporters were still camping outside.
Reporter 1: Alpha are you and Amara in a relationship?
Me: No comment.
Reporter 2 : the sooner you guys confirm your relation the
better .
Me: For who? Cause even if the was something going on it will
be between me and her you guys don't have nothing to do with
that, it will be our relationship not the whole worlds.
I walked away from the crowd as the security brought me my
car. I took out a piece of paper with her number from my
pocket and saved her number on my phone. I got home and
weren't to bed , i felt like sleeping today i was tired , i took my
phone and laid on my back stalking her insta profile it weren't
hard to find since people were tagging me and her on the
photo's we took . I changed my clothes and took the file driving
to the address written.
AMARA
I got into my comfortable clothes browsing through my phone ,
I was the most talked about on social media right now . The hot
topic. People were even on my profile just viewing me it's crazy
how i moved from just 400 followers to thousands. I was
blowing up but known as Alpha's Luna, the pictures of the
photo shoot were tagged on my profile. The were people that
love me and the were the trolls that called me names
golddigger was the common one the were some that compared
me with Diana. They don't even know me but they already
posting about me like they grew up with me. I received a DM
from Alpha. My heart almost skipped.
Alpha: can i call you.
I had to make it hard for him , after getting me dragged out his
office he has the nerve to ask to call me.
Me: No !
Alpha: i don't beg so don't make me too lady.
I seened his text. I felt like i was in control now. I tapped on the
screen blocking him. If he really wants to talk to me he will have
prove to me how much he wants to talk to me. I paced in the
living as my phone buzzed i looked at it he hasn't texted me nor
tried calling me . I gave up and poured myself a glass of juice. A
hard bang came through at the door . I wonder what Rose has
done cause that knock came to fight. I walked to the door and
opened it .
Me: You !
Alpha: Were you expecting someone?
Me: You have a nerve showing your ...ugly face here !
Alpha: Come on Amara , you know I'm not ugly.
Me: You are get out of here before i call security!
I said fuming , just words escaping my mouth , i was even lying
because the weren't security in this building but seeing him
made me nervous, he made me nervous just uncontrollable
breaths leaving my chest rising up to the hoodie i was wearing.
Alpha: You not going to invite me in?
Me: So you can do what?
Alpha : Your sister was in my office a few hours ago.
I held my chin up and looked at him.
Me: So?
Alpha: (smiles) You look so cute when pretending.
My heart smiled , i wanted to blush but i couldn't give him the
satisfaction that he broke through in easily.
Me: And what is that meant to do make me smile?
Alpha: I don't know even if it's meant to make you giggle then
that would make me happy too.
Me : Laugh? My word , i will not laugh with you.
A guy that lived across the hallway in the room passed by he is
a boy (Enzo) that has been trying his luck on me for a few
months now but i never gave him the chance to. I pushed Alpha
aside and grabbed Enzo's arm . Enzo looked at me .
Me: Hey baby , i thought you would come in, or you still going
to your room.
Enzo: (confused) Uhh ..Yes ..My..love.
Me: I missed you so much.
I grabbed his cheeks and kissed him and pulled back, i gave him
a baby kiss again.
Enzo: I'll go bath and I'll come over.
Me: Ofcause daddy !
He turned , i slapped Enzo's ass and winked at him. He looked
at and smiled walking to his room. Alpha looked at me and
laughed.
Alpha: Was that meant to make me jealous what was that?
who is that?
Me: My boyfriend (smiling) his name is Enzo his such a
sweetheart , never hurts me or make me cry , he is everything i
want in a man or even better everything i would ask for.
Alpha: (nodding) Okay i hear you.
I nodded my head continuously, he walked to me i backed up
me against the hallway wall , he leaned on to me with his
breath evaporating on my neck.
Alpha: Does he make you feel the way you feeling right now?
I looked sideways breathing through my mouth.
Me: He does.
Alpha: By doing all that , you not hurting me but yourself , be
angry with me but don't let the anger make you that bitter
Amara , you don't know that guy , you just did it out of spite for
what i did and i understand and i am ... i am sorry.
I felt his lips against my ear as he wanted what he was saying to
sink in my ear , he held my waist , squeezing. I felt the sky open
up , i felt holy , reborn. Oh god what is he doing to me? Why do
i feel this way? He gave me life.
Me: Alpha stop it.
Alpha: I'm not done talking , i will stop when you have heard
everything i have to say .
I closed my eyes , i was burning up , i was doing fine with my
life normal and now he just handed me these emotions so
much of them everytime he touches me they just set alight like
dynamites.
Me: i heard you, step away from me.
Alpha: make me!
Me: Alpha please don't do this.
Alpha: Why?
Me: I don't want you this closer to me.
Alpha: Why not? Is it because you love me ?do you love me
Amara?
Me: Why would i love you , Alpha ? You are a very bad guy , you
hurt people's feelings , i saw how you treated Diana and she
loves you but still you treated her like trash , i don't want that.
Alpha: What i asked you got nothing to do with Diana , I'm
asking you. Do you love me?
Me: This is not your Suburban house where you do whatever
you like .
Alpha: I don't care where i am ! But you will hear what i have to
say , i asked you a question, Do you love me?
Rose and Lucy appeared in the hallway walking to us, Lucy held
her mouth shocked.
Me: Please stop it, my sister is coming.
Lucy: Oh my word ! Oh my word ! Alpha, oh my word ! Rose
pinch me .
Rose: It's him you not dreaming.
He backed away from me , i brushed the back of my neck
awkwardly tilting my head sideways. I felt embarrassed that my
sister saw me in that position with a man , i respected Rose so
much.
Me: Rose you back, Alpha was just leaving.
Alpha: No i wasn't.
Me: Yes you were.
Alpha: Okay if you say so , I'll go . Rose nice seeing you again
you too lady , greet your boyfriend for me will you Amara.
Me: I will.
He walked away from us leaving the building.
Rose: That's so rude you should've walked him out.
Me: No , He will be okay , he came here uninvited he will
walked out like an uninvited person.
Lucy: Gosh! Did you hear him talk (Imitating his voice) nice
seeing you Rose and you lady . Yho ! Lord have mercy on my
soul. That is what we call man enough. That's a Man ! Not these
animations we live with here.
Rose: I will walk in and prepare supper.
Lucy: Girl you better tell me every single detail , you don't have
to start from the beginning just tell me how did you end up
backed on the wall. I even feel like licking this wall.
Me: Geez Lucy ! Eww .
I walked in the flat and sat down , Rose was packing the few
products she bought for dinner, Lucy sat down and looked at
me. I buried my head in my phone.
DIANA
I walked in my flat and took off my heels, my feet were burning.
I sat down having a glass of water. My phone rang , i looked at
the private number wondering who it was.
Me: Hello.
Angela: it's me
Me: What do you want ? How did you get my number?
Angela: My show is being sued for R 2 million by Alpha because
of broadcasting pictures that weren't supposed to be seen by
the public.
Me: Oh wow really , that's a shame sorry.
Angela: And we are suing you ? You will hear from our lawyers.
Me: What !
Angela: Yes ! You a fucken fraud!
Me: You can't do that cause it was a agreed transaction.
Angela: That got us in trouble so prepare your lawyer or my
money.
She dropped the call , i placed the glass of water on the table.
No this can't be happening to me , i got punished by Alpha and
where will i get the money to pay them back , i have already
bought a clothes with that 10k. I placed my phone on the couch
i grabbed my wig off my head and threw it across the room
screaming in anger !
To be continued.

AMARA
I couldn't stop smiling in my room just biting on my thumb , i
held my teddy bear squeezing it in my arms. Rose walked in the
room, i stopped smiling and looked at her.
Rose: Enzo is outside.
Me: what !
Rose: Enzo is outside and what's to see you.
Me: Arrgh ! I shouldn't have kissed him .
Rose: You kissed Enzo ? What for now?
Me: I was trying to make Alpha jealous so i kissed him , now
Enzo is taking things serious .
Rose: You kissed a guy that was crushing you for a whole year
what did you expect? He even bought a rose.
Me: No-o oh my god i feel so bad !
Rose: Yes , and you have to go tell him what's going on.
I got off the bed and walked to him , he was sitting on the
couch he got up handing me the flower.
Me: Ohh for me?
Enzo: (smiling) Yes , i didn't know which flowers you like so i
took this one since people say roses set the mood.
Me: Mood?
Enzo: Yes love mood.
Me: Oh , i thought you were talking about something else .
Enzo: So i was wondering if.. i..i..i could take you out for
movies tomorrow.
I looked at him , He looked cute and shy with the glasses on just
could barely maintain eye contact with me.
Me: Ofcause, why not.
Enzo: Really? You will go out with me?
Me: Yes but just as a friend taking a friend out.
Enzo: Fine by me as long i will be with you, uhm i will leave
now... goodnight uhmm. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Me: (awkward laugh) Yes don't let the bed bugs bite.
I walked to the door and open it up for him. He walked out
walking to his flat room, he kept looking back as i forced a smile
on my face waving. I closed the door. And Rose was looking at
me.
Me: Please don't judge me !
Rose: I wasn't.
Me: You look like you were.
Rose: I'm just think how will a sweetie pie like Enzo compete
with a Alpha .
Me: Enzo is taking me out for movies and these nothing going
on between me and Alpha , nothing is conformed yet.
I place the rose on my nose inhaling the accent .
Rose: You go girl.
Me: I even got a Rose , for the first time in my life.
I took a cup and opened up water , i placed the rose in taking it
to my room.
ENZO (The admirer)
I walked to my flat and closed the door behind me. My flat
mate looked at me . I smiled and walked to my room , i laid on
my back and looked at the cut and pasted collection of photo's
of me and her on the wall. I had been secretly stalking her on
all her social media accounts just stealing photos of her , i had a
album of her photo's in my phone , she even is the screen saver
on my phone , i had a crushed on her for a year now , and that
crush developed to love my roommate keeps telling me it's not
love , I'm just obsessed with Amara but i wasn't she loves me
and when she kissed me today , she proved it that she loved me
too , maybe she stalkers me too on social media or maybe she
has a poster too of us in her room. Or even more better she
dreams abouts me. I felt my heart beat for her , calling her
name, even my heart agrees with me . My Alarm went off for
me to drink my Bipolar pills , I took my pills that were
assembled in a box like container with the day i should drink
the pills at. I took out the pills and looked at Amara's face. I
walked to the toilet emptying my pills in , i flushed them
down.
Me: I'm doing this for Amara , i am not sick , Amara loves me ,
the only thing i will be sick from is her love.
I walked to my room and locked the door, i clicked on her
photo and laid my phone on the second pillow on my bed and i
nicley covered it without covering the face , i slept next to my
phone.
Me: I can't wait to be by your side tomorrow , goodnight , i love
you.
ALPHA.
I showered and had a video call with my mom (Nandi) , My
mom is the sweetest in my life even though she didn't raise me
like other mothers would raise their children, She thought if i
had everything i wanted she is giving me happiness but i
wanted my mom , i would watch children get dropped off
school by their mothers getting hugs and kisses while i got a car
bought for me and a driver deployed to drive me to school and
get me. Now look how i turned out , i turn to a beast. Can't
even tell Amara how i feel about her because I'm scared of
being rejected of how i am. I told my Mother about her. I took
out the blender making myself an egg and banana smoothie.
Nandi: I saw the picture that is circulating of her and you and i
thought it was Photoshoped , even your dad refuses to believe
that was you.
Me: It is me . Ma i just can't tell her how i feel.
Nandi: Why? You love her right?
Me: it will make me look weak , i don't want that , that's not me
.
Nandi: Then what you going to do?
Me: I'll make her say it first.
Nandi: how? You will torture the young lady to professing her
love to you?
Me: Yes , i will tease the words out her mouth , i will invite her
for dinner tomorrow hire a chef to come cook for us and have a
place decorated in a love in the air style.
Nandi: How about you just let whatever that is happening
happen.
Me: No ! I'm going to make the happening happen.
Nandi: These no use changing your mind isn't it?
Me: Yes.
Nandi: Thought so ! I know you when your mind is made up its
made up no use changing.
Me: How is dad? Where is he?
Nandi: His in a supper meeting with a client he just signed up.
Me: Weren't you supposed to be on vacation?
Nandi: That's what i thought but your father is recruiting new
clients. Bloody workaholic spoiling my vacation.
Me: (laughs) I gues i know who i take after .
Nandi: We will be coming back next month , and maybe i will
get the chance to meet the lovey young lady that has you head
over hills.
Me: Ma! I'm not head over hills for her yet and it's too early for
you to know her.
Nandi: if you say so.
Me: I am saying so , I'll go sleep now i have a long day
tomorrow.
Nandi: Be gentle on girl.
Me: Ma !
Nandi: What you a grown man now Alpha and i know you have
sexual relations so be gentle women like it that on their first
night they get it gentle .
Me: Okay i hanging up , i will not be getting sexual lessons from
my Mother.
Nandi: Goodnight i love you .
Me: I love you even more.
She blew a kiss , i smiled hanging up. I walked up to my room
and laid down.
PREAL
I froze all my bank accounts after that bastard stole from me ,
how dare he ? I called a private investigator and gave him
John's numbers and full name and sent him a photo of him. I
want every single cent he took from my account. My mom
walked in the room .
Gloria: I'm just here to check on you?
Me: John did this.
Gloria: What?
Me: He pushed me down the stares.
Gloria: That son of a gun !
Me: He did this to me , Ma , he never loved me , he took my
account.
Gloria: Oh no ! He is not going to get away with him , first thing
tomorrow we going to the police station.
Me: Yes .we are.
Gloria: I knew the was something about the man ! I knew!
Coming here and pretending like he is a knight in a shining
amor while he was just a wolf in sheep clothing , i will be
damned ! He chose to mess with the wrong family.
I looked at my Mom , she was fuming , infuriated, angry ,
boiling just biting on her lip . She walked to me and helped me
lay down. She tucked me in. I can't believe as old as i was i was
getting tucked in , i felt useless , i felt like drinking poison and
just die. I don't deserve this!

Me: How much?
Diana: She sued me for R100k.
Me: That's a reasonable amount.
Diana: you only saying that because R100k is a small amount

Me: Sell your clothes you got clothes that could add up to that
amount.
Diana: Alpha you owe me that much ! I have been with you
doing nothing but loving you and satisfying you and all you
did was abuse me and hurt me. You owe me this much.
Me: You should've said that you were a prostitute so i paid you
every time i had sex with you, anyway how much do i owe you?
Diana: i didn't mean it like that I'm just desperate for money.
I sat down and took out my phone.
Me: Account number?
She wrote it down on a paper , i sent her 200k.
Diana: You sent me 200k.
Me: Yes i did the extra hundred is for sucking my dick , i don't

Diana: Thank you.
Me: And clear your table , Amara will be coming back.
Diana: But ...
Me: You fired!
Diana: Okay.
Me: You will receive a salary for the months you worked , i
don't want Loanshark Diana threatening me for my money.
She walked out the office sobbing. I took my phone and
called Amara , she let it ring for seconds , i chuckled, how she
likes playing hard with me .
Me: Am i talking to Amara?
Amara: She?
Me: Hey there.
Amara: Alpha make it snappy I'm busy.

Amara: You so stubborn.
I hung up the phone.
ROSE
She hung up the phone and looked at me.
Me: What's wrong?
Lucy: What did he say?
Amara: He demanded to have dinner with me.
Lucy: Really?
Amara: Yes he brutally told me to cancel wherever i was going
out with and a car will pick me up.
Me: Poor Enzo.
Lucy: Sies poor Enzo for what? That nerd boy should stay in his
lane ! This right here is Alpha's !
I looked at her , she swallowed a lump .
Me:This is nothing of Alpha's, Amara will decide who she wants
to go out with let it be nerd boy or Alpha it doesn't matter.
Lucy: You better go to dinner and eat on my behalf, you watch
movies every day on tv so these nothing special.
Me: Lucy!
Lucy: What ! Nothing is wrong in giving her advice.
Amara: I know where i will be going and i were i won't be going.

Amara: i am very excited.
Me: You better be home before 12
Lucy: Just leave the girl before 12 what ! Fairy godmother.

Amara walked out the salon . I looked at Lucy.
Lucy: Soften up geez.
PEARL
My mom and i did go to the police station and opened up a
case against John , I even called my lawyer filing for divorce. I
wanted to cut all ties with John . After opening up the case Ma
helped me go pop in at the office. The stuff was really
welcoming they gave me hugs and endless advices, i just
wanted to cry but i had to collect myself , i couldn't break down
now. I pushed myself into Alpha's office, he walked to me
helping me get in.
Alpha: Hey.
Me: Hey.
Alpha: So how have you been holding up?
Me: good so far , it's not over night that a person accepts to be
wheelchair bound.
Alpha: I see so any treatment you have thought about?
Me: The is non Alpha I'm going to die on this wheelchair.
Alpha: The are options but maybe it's because you haven't seen
or heard about them.
Me: My spinal cord has dead nerves Alpha what option can you
give me then Doctor Alpha?
Alpha: You need like like cell repair, read about it somewhere
but only doctors in Cuba can do Spinal cord repair.
Me: Really ?
Alpha: Yes abosoluty check out the process and undergo the
procedure.
Me: Even if i do check out the procedure where will i get money
for Cuba ?
Alpha: You have been working for me for 4 years Pearl you
can't tell me you don't have money stashed somewhere.
Me: My husband withdrew that money , I'm dry with me not
working.
Alpha: that will be hard.
Me: Yeah i know so i might as well make this wheelchair my
bestfriend. (Laughs)
Alpha: You don't have too.
Me: What do you mean?
Alpha: i will pay for everything, your plane ticket, first class,
accommodation and your hosipital bills for a private surgery.
Me: (crying) Really? For me?
Alpha: Yes ,you family.
Me: Please come, i want to hug you.
Alpha: Oh no ...I'm good you can shake my hand.
Me: Please for me.
Alpha: You women can really be annoying.
He walked to me and i gave him a hug , sniffing his cologne that
smelt like everything is going to be okay, his hug was warm , i
felt at home, with his bulky arms holding me . I didn't want to
let go. He pulled back i held on right.
Alpha:Pearl.
Me: Alpha.
Alpha: You can let go now.
Me: Oh sorry.
I let him go , he walked over to his desk , i low-key smiled. As he
sat uncomfortably on his chair.
Alpha: I'll work now.
Me: I'll leave you to it, thank you again.
Alpha: Yeah , yeah pleasure.
I rolled my wheelchair out the door , getting goosebumps.
AMARA
I wore a dress and a coat on and walked out the house, Rose
knew i had a date with Alpha and he didn't even ask me he was
commanding me to come so i had to drop Enzo even though i
felt sad for him , he was really looking forward to taking me out
for movies. He requested a uber for me and i went over to his
house , it was dark outside so was the house, i began thinking
maybe he wasn't home and this was one of his stunts to get me
back for kissing Enzo but i walked to the door still curious
what is happening, He opened the door for me, in a black suit
with no shirt on just his bulked abs and small waist that was
perfectly in it's place that can put Man in modelling agencies to
shame . He smiled.
Alpha: I thought you had movies with your boyfriend?
Me: I did but you didn't give me a choice either.
Alpha: i actually did , i didn't get you myself , so you had a
choice.
Me: oh i could go home right now then.
Alpha: You already here.
Me: Why are the lights off?
Alpha: i didn't pay for electricity i have gone broke.
Me: (laughs) okay.
He held my hand guiding me in the house. The was a path of
candles set for me to walk in leading to another room, i looked
at him. Biting my thumb just blushing my ass off.
Alpha: Are you fine? Oh should i carry you to the destination?
Me: No I'm okay, just that i don't know what to say.
Alpha: You don't need to say a thing, may you lead the way.
I walked across the candle lite path to the table that was set for
us , i looked at the roses scattered on the floor , i turned and
looked at him surprised , He took off my jacket and pulled the
chair for me , i sat down.
Me: Why you doing this?
Alpha: What?
Me: Please don't play with me.
Alpha: It's an apology .
Me: Don't lie to me.
Alpha: can we eat?
Me: okay.
I began eating from the plate , the food is Devine out of this
world even how it's dressed in the plate it's said it been made
by a professional. We ate the food and had drinks , he actually
served me wine i didn't drink but it's a first time for everything
right?. He sipped from his whiskey glass , looking at me.
Alpha: How can one ever get enough of you?
Me: Huh?
Alpha: Can i kiss you ? I want to kiss you.
I blinked to his question unable to answer. I just licked my lips ,
he pulled his chair closer to mine and held my chin up . His lips
met mine . He left me breathless and with a hysterical heart , i
tried to take even breaths , hoping to calm my frantic heart that
was beating to escape my ribcage and the blood rushing in my
viens warming me up very quickly. I closed my eyes and held his
cheeks embracing his soft smooth lips. He got off the chair and
kneeled before me kissing me. God this felt right, this felt so
right i wanted to him to strip me off so badly , i want to
surrender myself to him , i want to be in the palms of his mercy.
I moaned in his mouth dropping heavy sighs , i pushed him
away .
Me: Ohh my word , i have to get home, i have to leave.
Alpha: Why did i do something wrong?
Me: No , you are amazing , i love you..i mean i love this night.
Alpha: I love you too.
Me: What!
Alpha: I love you too.
He picked me up from the chair. Carrying me upstairs. He
placed me on my feet on the floor kissing me. Butterflies filled
up my tummy, i felt all sort of emotions, i was super horny and i
felt swept off my feet. He kissed my neck unzipping my dress , it
dropped on the floor leaving me on my panties laying me down
gently on the bed . He kneeled on the floor and took off my
panties pulling me to the edge of the bed, my legs placed on his
big bulky shoulders, his warm wet tougue licked my clit, i
grabbed the sheet widely opening my mouth. I have never been
muffed in my life this was new to me , how he sucked on me
was already enough to give me a orgasm, it was breathtaking, i
didn't know whether to hold the sheets or his head so i grabbed
both. I held on his head digging my hand in his hair. I felt like i
was informing him to suck every juices i had just playing with
my clit with his tougue. He inserted his tougue in my vagina
hole. I grabbed arm that was placed on my chest laying me
down on the bed.
Me: Oh my word...mhhh!
I bite on my lower lip . He got up unzipping his pants , he took
them off and got on the bed , i couldn't see how big it was
cause the lights weren't on just candle light in the room , he got
inbetween my legs as i crawled up the bed to the bed broad, he
kissed me brushing his crotch against me.
Alpha: relax okay, i won't hurt you , i wouldn't dare.
I bit my lower lips , he smiled and kissed lips , he pressed in
slowly stroking the head in. I grabbed on his neck holding him
tight , i closed my thighs in on his waist.
Me: (moaning) aah , Alpha..oh my god .
Alpha: ssshhh, relax your legs and breath , okay.
I nodded my head , i didn't know if i had tightened up cause it's
been a long time since i had sex or maybe his too big for me,
after my last break up with my ex boyfriend i never had sexual
relations with any man neither was i interested in man it took
me a whole year to get over that bastard , i thought that guy
was my ride or die i even allowed him to be my first but he
broke my heart and left me stranded. He stroked me one more
time going in fully. I light scream escaped my mouth , i sucked
on his neck easing the pain. He placed a pillow under me and
stroked me , every stroke to a toll on me , as he filled me up.
Alpha: Like that?talk to me so i can please you the way you like.
Me: A little faster.
I gasped for breaths as he increased his pace going deep into
me.
Alpha: Like that?
Me: Ohhh word yes just like that.
He stroke me down the bed , just lifting my thighs on his waist
as my legs spread for him. The flexibility of his waist just playing
circles in me , he held on me tight hugged my body against his
with his lips on my neck . The weren't even moans escaping my
mouth , i just laid on the bed holding on him tight gasping for
air taking that cock. I wrapped my legs around him feeling a bad
orgasm coming , my whole body trembled under his as i raised
my hips. He held on me tight whispering in my ear.
Alpha: Good girl.
Me: (humping) Oh my god...oh lord!
i grabbed on him and on the sheets not knowing what to holf or
what to let go, i trembled on the bed with my whole body
shaking.
Alpha: Relax , Amara looked at me.
Me: No ..No ..i want to pass urine.
Alpha: Pee on the bed.
Me: No , Alpha please.
He held on stroke me more , i let the squirt out it splash on him
just warm liquid splashing on our skin. Tears escaped my eyes. I
laid on the bed i could feel my heart beat in vagina after
releasing so much, i was weak witg my legs shaking , he held
on me tight and groaned.
Alpha: Aah fuck (breathing heavy) You such an amateur.
(laughs and imitates her voice) I want to pass urine , come on
baby pass urine in such a amazing moment.
I buried myself in his chest giggling he held me tight wrapping
his arms around me.
Me: I feel , i feel amazing.
I was trembling cold, he pulled the sheet covering my body. I
looked at him and smiled.
Alpha: What?what's wrong?
Me: (smiling) When you said you love me ? Did you mean it?
Alpha: would i say it if i didn't?
Me: No cause not you the type of people that would never
even mention love.
Alpha: (chuckles) what's that supposed to mean? People like
me love too , we just love the right ones.
Me: And how do you know you have the right one?
Alpha: I didn't know but my heart knew , and when the heart
knows , it knows , these no explaining it , you just trust it. And i
love you Mrs Alpha Smith.
Me: Hey now easy , ain't you rushing things?
Alpha: You want us to take things slow? I mean , i love you and
you love me so what we waiting for?
Me: No ! I don't want that i want us to get to know each other
first more in a deeper level.
Alpha: I already know you in a deeper level very deep level if
you asked me.
Me: Oh my goodness Alpha stop it !
Alpha : (smiles) I'm sorry then.
Me: Can i sleep here with you forever ?
Alpha: Uhm No i have a company to run , you sleep i will find
you here everytime i come back from work.
Me: Oh my god Alpha ! Can you be romantic for atleast two
times in your life?
Alpha: I am very romantic if you ask me?
Me: Just candle light dinner and you already romantic?
Alpha: I'll prove you wrong .
Me: I'm looking forward to that.
Alpha: Can i have my long intimate kiss now?
I pulled him closer and we kissed, i couldn't have asked for any
one better companion than Alpha , he completed me and even
if we do last i will be happy i had my special moments with him
, i looked at him as i laid ontop of his body , he was fast asleep
looking up like a dead man. My dead man. I placed legs on his
sides collecting him in between my thighs, i kissed his lips as he
was asleep. I laid on his chest listening to his heart beat.

ROSE
I don't want to say waking up without Amara in her room didnt
scare me , but she is a grown woman and she had the right to
sleep over at a guys house when she wanted to , i had my
coffee and washed the dishes as i should i then went to work.
Lucy has opened the salon already just washing the combs and
preparing for the day ahead. I washed my hands setting up
my working station.
Lucy: So how was Amara when she got home?
Me: She didn't
Lucy: My god , she got laid.
Me: Maybe not.
Lucy: But we both know she got laid.
Me: Lucy can you stop it.
Lucy: You will have to stop this thing of yours even mothers
that their children adress them as " mom" knows when a girl
child gets laid at 19 or better yet these children are already
having sex at a young age , obviously she will come back and
want to tell you what happened are you going to turn her
down?
Me: If i have too then yes , i will talk to her and let her know
what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. Plus
Amara is not that type of girls that would quickly sleep with a
guy , she respects herself.
Lucy: What are you trying to say ? Cause i am one of the girls
that sleeps with guys on the first day .
Me: I'm trying to say nothing , let's get to work clients will
arrive in a few minutes.
Lucy: I think you too need to go get laid I'm getting sick of your
attitude.
Me: I have had that in my thoughts too .
Lucy: then what's stopping you?
Me: I'm not dating anyone?
Lucy:How about i set you up in blind dates?
Me : Absolutely not !
Lucy: Come on just 2 or 3 guys and you choose you favourite
guy?
Me: No thank you especially if it will be arranged by you , I
would rather die single.
Lucy: Fine your loss.
I not even imagine the guys she will bring for me , knowing
Lucy she will bring me her type of men.
ALPHA
I woke up feeling all the heavy weight on me. Amara was
sleeping on top of me , how can one sleep so comfortably
ontop of someone. i got her off gently and laid her on the bed
covering her naked body i got in my shorts and I picked up the
clothes that were on the floor and placed the bed. My Dad
(Steve) called, wow looks like i will have a great day today.
Steve: Alpha.
Me: Dad.
Steve: I heard from you mother that you are dating.
Me: Oh she told you?
Steve: She did and i wanted to speak with you about that.
Me: About me dating?
Steve: Yes, dating is not good for business my boy ! Where is
the girl working? Is she from a family we know?
Me: She's my PA and No you won't know her family
Steve: She's not your match , you can't be dating a regular girl!
Me: What's wrong with dating a regular girl Pops?
Steve: My son is not going to Associate himself with a regular
girl, i don't mind you can fuck around with her all you like but
when i get there i want that trash taken out .
Me: Pops don't i have a say ?
Steve: Unfortunately you don't! You My son! You carrying my
surname you can't be going around giving it to every slut that
makes you cum , fix your attitude! I didn't raise you like this
Alpha ! You meant to be strong ! That's why i gave you the
name Alpha ! Be the damn Alpha that you are and stop being
soft since when has pussy softened you up !
Me: (chuckles) how you raised me ? Cheap coming from you .
Steve: And what is that supposed to mean?
Me: You never raised me Pops .
Steve: Alpha !
Me: I'm done talking to you okay !
Steve: If you dare drop this call the will be hell to pay!
Me: (shouting) You know you don't scare me Steve so fuck off
!
Steve: Alpha !
I dropped the call and threw my phone against the mirror it
broke through and the mirror shattered to the floor, Amara got
up. She covered her breast with the sheet looking at me ,
frightened. I looked at her calming myself down. She was
scared. I walked over and sat next to her.
Me: Amara , don't be scared , you got nothing to be afraid of
okay, I'm sorry for scaring you.
Amara: What's going on?
Me: It's my father , argh don't mind him. Are you hungry let's
go downstairs.
I got her a tracksuit to wear. She got up and wore the tracksuit,
her eyes were still tense , just scared of me , i held her hand
and she moved her hand away from me.
Amara: Can you make me understand why your father got you
this angry?
Me: It's nothing you should concern yourself about i will handle
Pops, let's get you some food.
We walked downstairs and i made her coffee .
Me: Milk ?
Amara: Yes and two spoons of sugar.
Me: You like your coffee sweet and i like mine bitter.
I handed her the mug , she held it with her small hands having a
sip.
Amara: You should have a sip on my coffee and i will have a sip
on yours.
We exchanged our mugs and i sipped on her coffee, sweet
coffee wasn't bad
Amara: So why do you like coffee with no sugar anyways? Is it
some sort like a trend for you rich arrogant men?
Me: I was taught at a young that a man doesn't sweeten his
coffee or you will be soft.
Amara: what crazy person would teach you that?
Me: My dad.
Amara: oppss I'm sorry , i didn't mean to say his crazy.
Me: He actually is insane if you ask me , i wouldn't be surprised
if his on a plane back now.
Amara: A plane?
Me: He and Mom went on vacation.
Amara: That's awsome , how i would like to travel some day.
She smiled drinking from her cup , i held her hand and kissed it.
Me: If i told you to go get your visa and let's go to Paris would
you come with me?
Amara: I wouldn't.
Me: Why? You just said you would love to travel? I got money a
lot of it .
Amara: You got the money and i don't , i don't want our
relationship to be like that , i also want money so when we
travel the world together i will have something to offer.
Me: Wow you are amazing , i know a lot of women would've
wanted to leave now and you here declining a trip to Paris.
Amara: I am not other women , you should know that.
Me: Are you sure you want to do this? You want to be with me?
Amara: If i didn't i would've go watch a movie. I want us.
Me:just that i want you to be sure that you want this
relationship , and you will be able to bare with me .
Amara: If you saying bare with you , you mean loving you with
all your flaws? All the ego , arrogance and mood changes all the
damn time?
Me: Yes , you will be my sweet and I'll be your bitter.
Amara: Are we getting breakfast or not ?I'm starving .
Me: I smashed my phone so you can order anything you want
on your phone I'll pay. In the meantime I'll go shower.
Amara: You going to work?
Me: No , I'll work from here , i want to spend time with you.
I got up and kissed her lips , walking upstairs. I walked to the
bathroom and looked myself in the mirror, am i smiling ? what
is this that i was feeling am i happy? But why do i feel like this
and feel like I'm weak ? Does love really make a man weak?
Does it make a man feel vulnerable. I love how I'm feeling right
now but i didn't want to lose myself in this whole happiness
then find out later it was not meant to last , i want to feel like
this forever. I walked in the shower .
[ HAWAII AIRPORT]
STEVE
I walked in the airport with people pulling our staircases, i can't
be on vacation while my son's life is falling apart , i approached
the line looking at how far i was i couldn't take it. I held my
wife's hand and we walked to the ticket sales table.
Seller: Excuse me sir the is a line , please go back and wait for
your turn.
i looked at mute, he placed a pistol on the table.
Me: So what is it going to be?
Seller: (smiles) How may i help you Sir?
Me: A want a private jet that will leave here and reach SA in 2
hours.
Seller: That's impossible sir atleast 4 hours.
Me: Do you know what can happen in 4 hours a lot? You can
find the paramedics picking your brains on this desk and you
meeting your maker ! That's going to happen in 4 hours and i
will be in a private jet in 2 hours.
She patted on the computer i handed her my card and
she gave me VIP passes .
Me: (fakes a smile) You are a very beautiful young lady greet
your family for me will you.
She nodded her head in fear. I held Nandi's hand as we passed
through to our booked private jet, we got in and strapped
ourselves in.
Nandi: You know Steve this is so unnecessary.
Me: It's because you a woman you won't understand.
Nandi: Alpha has fallen inlove so what? He can't fall inlove
now? You tend to forget his human, his not a robot!
Me: That is my only son !
Nandi: His mine too !
Me: No one asked you that.
She frowned showing she was pissed at me. But i didn't care. I
took out my phone and called the Mayor.
Me: You failed me!
Mayor: My daughter and i tried by all means to meet him so i
introduce her to him but your son will forever be your son .
Me: I will introduce her to him when i get back in 2 hours , clear
you schedule.
Mayor: Will do.
Me: Fucken Amateur.
I dropped the call and looked at Nandi.
Nandi: You are just poking him ain't you? And the beast you are
poking out of Alpha will unleash you will say people bewitched
you. Cause i don't know what you want from him , his already
successful, got a reigning business as you wanted, his
everything you wanted him to be now you want to choose who
he can and not fall inlove with , you playing with fire here , You
wil say i didn't warn you.
Really the plane took , 4 hours to reach the soil , We got off and
walked to the cars that were waiting for us in the plane section.
Me: Mute take me to Alpha's company i know i will find him
there.
He nodded his head and drove over , i got off the car and
walked in straight to his office . He wasn't in for work. I went
down stairs and order Mute to drive to his house.
AMARA
He sat on the kitchen counter busy on his laptop. I was eating
fries , i looked at him as he buried his head in the laptop , i took
a fry and tossed it at him. He looked at me.
Alpha: Babe what's wrong? What did i do?
Me: You not paying attention to me.
Alpha: I'm working Amara.
Me: you said you were taking a day off to be with me but
actually NO you wanted a day at home to stare at your laptop.
Don't you get tired of working?
Alpha: No .
Me: Boring !
I tossed another fry at him , he picked it up from the table and
placed it in his mouth.
Alpha: Okay I'm putting my laptop away .
Me: Give it to me I'll put it away for you?
Alpha: No , i will put it away , what if you forget it's location?
Me: I won't.
Alpha: No ! No ! Stay away from my laptop.
He placed it ontop of the table and walked over to me. He
picked me up from the chair and placed me on the counter
table.
Alpha: You got my attention as you wanted , you so possessive.
Me: Thank you for giving me attention.
I held his cheeks and kissed him , he pulled me to the edge of
the table , unzipping the jacket and sucked my tits. A hard bang
disturbed us as we were getting pretty heated up , i looked at
him.
Alpha: expecting someone?
Me: Who will i expect in a house that's not mine?
Alpha: Oh sorry i forgot our relationship is still new , i zipped up
the jacket, He walked to the door barefoot and top-less. He
swinged the door open and a loud sound of a slap was released
, i got off the table and looked at him as he was still looking
sideways clearly he was the one that got the slap. He smiled
and laughed.
Alpha: Pops welcome ,Amara come meet Steve.
I froze as he said Pop's, oh my word his father is here. I begin
panicking wearing these baggy clothes barefooted.
Steve: You even walking around half naked !
He walked in the house and looked at me , i looked down
playing with fingers.I felt a really intense stare at me as i still
kept my head down
Nandi: This is her?
Alpha: Ma !
She walked to me and raised up my chin using her hand. She
smiled , i smiled too seeing her face warm up to me.
Nandi: Isn't she so adorable?
Alpha: I know that's why i chose her to be my companion isn't
it sweetheart.
Me: Ye---
Steve: Shut up ! Who gave you the right to talk while we talking
?
Alpha: I will not have you speak to her in that manner !
Steve: I will speak to her the way i want to ! She is a nobody to
me !
Alpha: Yes she is a nobody to you but she's everything to me !
You will adress her like you talking to your daughter, with
respect , you bow to her.
Steve: (laughs) Who the hell do you think you talking to boy !
Alpha: Who am i looking at ? Who the fuck am i looking at ? get
the fuck out of my house!
Nandi: Alpha! Don't you talk to your father like that.
Alpha: Or what? He won't shit ! What you going to do?
Steve: If you don't get your act right Alpha ! I will have to
elimate a few nonsense that soften you up ! This things you sat
we should worship is here for our money! She doesn't love you!
Mute !
A man walked over to me and placed a gun on the side of my
head , i freezed.
Alpha: She doesn't know anything! I swear ! I told her nothing,
Pops please she innocent she knows nothing.
Me: (shaking) Please ! Please , oh my god
Alpha: Mute back away from her! Pops please !
Steve: you know the rules Alpha and you broke them , when
you fall inlove! you get distracted! And when you distracted!
The business fails ! And when it fails you get us killed!
Alpha: She knows nothing, i swear ! I just wanted a taste of a
normal life .
Steve: The is no normal life for a Smith !
Alpha: Then take your name ! Take everything , take the
business, Just leave her alone , this is between us not her , let
her go.
Mute set the chambers letting down the safety pin , i thought it
was the end of me , With Alpha's mom begging her husband
and me handing out my hand to Alpha crying, i have never been
this scared my whole life , i didn't understand what was going
on .His father just smiled watching Alpha suffer and fume ,
it's like he enjoyed watching his son be the kind of a person of
that is feared whenever he is a room . Being the dark , loner,
with a stinking attitude and just didn't give a damn about
anyone but just himself. He walked to me and held my hand
Steve: Look how she has turned you to a softy over night. You a
damn disgrace in my family , and you little Slut you will never
be Mrs Smith, my surname will not be carried by a nobody
like you ! Alpha is living a life you can't handle , save yourself
and stay away from him. you are not included in this life , i
have been naturing him since birth to take over this businesses
and think you can come from wherever hole you mice came
from and come between me and my son ? You got another
thing coming . Stay away from my son! I don't repeat myself,
cause the minute i repeat myself you inviting death, Nandi let's
go !
He walked to the door and Alpha's mom followed behind him ,
Mute took the gun off my head and walked out the door closing
it , I walked to Alpha and held on him tight.
Me: (crying) I did nothing wrong.
Alpha: I know, I'm sorry.
Me: What is going on? If i will be in your life you need to tell me
what's going on?
Alpha: I can't.
Me: Why?
Alpha : It it put you in more harm ways , if Steve finds out you
know he will kill you.
Me: Tell me.!
Alpha: No! I would rather have to deal with you not being in my
life than tell you what's going on, You too innocent for this
Me: I want to know.
Alpha: Don't worry about him , he knows you know nothing
so you not a threat to him. It's okay you safe.
Me: Take me home
Alpha: I'll get my car keys.
He walked upstairs to get his car keys then he took me home.
ENZO
I paced up and down the flat angry ! My room mate locked
himself in his room , cause i could harm him when I'm angry
.I'm Bipolar and i have sever mood changes, i could be happy
for a few seconds and just be angry the next and when i am
infuriated a lot of people could go harmed , if the something
that triggers to the point of being angry or hurts me i act very
brutally towards that person and now i was very angry ! I
walked to the wall smashing my head on the wall.
Me: (repeatedly) She promised ! She lied to me ! (Mood
change to happy) No she didn't lie that man made her lie , i
saw how close he was to her , h...he took away my Amara
(angry) how dare he !
I took the knife out the drawer and walked to Amara's flat , i
knocked with the knife ! Just banging on the door.
Me: Answer me ! (Crying) but i love you , can't you see i love
you. (Laughs) i would kill for you
i held the blade part of the knife , squeezing my blade in my
hand , as it cut through blood escaping from my hand. I held
the knife tight.
Amara: Enzo are you okay?oh my word you bleeding.
I looked up at her she was with the man. I took the knife and
got up. Walking straight to him , he looked at me like i was
crazy.
Me: I am not crazy !
Amara: We didn't say were , calm down , give me the knife
Okay, you not crazy.
I looked at her beautiful face handing the knife to her .
Me: I'm not crazy.
Amara: No you not.
I lifted up my hand and touched her skin , she let me hold her
cheek as my hand left a blood trail on her face.
Alpha: This is weird.
I looked at her face that was smeared with blood, i quickly took
off my t-shirt wiping her face.
Me: (singing) Beautiful mistake , i have inside my head she's
naked in my bed and then we lay away making beautiful
mistakes, Lalala , in my head . Lalala in my bed.
Alpha: Amara..
Amara: Alpha it's okay , I'm fine he won't hurt me.
Alpha: I am not leaving you with this weird guy.
Amara: Let's go inside inside and clean his wound up.
She unlocked the door and walked me in to the sink at the
bathroom , the blood washed away as my eyes were fixated on
her face , she looked at me and smiled we walked out the
bathroom . She took a bandaged and wrapped my cut palm , i
looked at her and closed my eyes leaning for a kiss.
Alpha: Hey ! Hey ! What the hell is that for !
He walked towards me and i took the knife pointing it to him.
Me: (angry) She's mine ! Mine , she's mine ! Stay away ! You
mine right? You mine !
Alpha: This is crazy! You guys live with lunatics here! What
nonsense is this !
I walked to him carrying the knife threatening to stab him ,
Amara stood infront of him protecting him.
Me: I won't hurt Amara , i won't hurt you. I'm a monster. I'm
sorry.
I ran out the flat to my room , i sat down on my bed rocking
myself to calm down. I had elapsed i haven't been drinking
my pills and if i go days without drinking them i will be out of
control.

LOGAN
Mom told me about what happened to Drew i felt sorry for him
and i just want to go see my brother and feel sorry for him . I
prepared to go visit him at the hospital applying make up and
heels , i was stunning but in a respectful way , i took my bag
and cellphone walking out the hotel room to my car at the
parking lot. I also remember that Alpha also is fighting for his
life in hospital , God what is going on with men in my life ? I
drove to the market and bought him a bouquet of flowers and a
basket of fruits. I drove towards the hospital and walked into
reception.
Me: Hello may you please check Drew Hughes room for me
please.
Receptionist: And you are Miss?
Me: I'm his sister Logan Hughes.
She smiled and browsed her computer.
Receptionist: Upstairs in room 231 it's on your left.
Me: Thank you so much have a good day.
I walked in the elevator with a guy holding two coffees, i looked
at him and smiled , holding the basket with flowers and fruits
close to me. I approached his room looking inside the window
that had blinds opened up , he is crying, Drew has tears on his
cheeks. I walked in opening up the door looking at him. He was
wiping his eyes and quickly laid down like he hasn't shed a tear ,
i walked in the room.
Me: Hey there.
Drew: ( sniffing) hey sweetheart.
I raised up the basket and smiled.
Me: Brought treats.
Drew: I can see that.
I placed the basket aside and sat besides him , he tried moving
but his legs were stiff i got up holding up the pillows behind him
, he pushed me away in anger.
Drew: ( frustrated) I can do it myself !
Me: I just wanted to help you.
Drew: Don't try to help me ! I'm fine !
Me: No you not fine brother, i saw you crying.
Drew: And so? Men ain't meant to cry?
Me: I didn't say that but don't refuse to be assisted Drew
please, you need your family right now.
Drew: Who said i need you? Logan get out.
Me: (surprised) What!
Drew: I said get out ! And don't you ever come back here ! You
must be rejoicing with your boyfriend cause that's what you
wanted when you tipped him off about our family plans.
Me: Drew what are you talking about ? Why are you so mean to
me? I'm trying to be your sister and support you.
Drew: Go support Alpha he needs your support more than i do.
I looked at him with my jaw dropped, i was speechless didn't
know what to say to him , how could he address me in that
manner , what did i do to receive such cruelty and be treated
like this.
Me: I will just leave Drew causei could see you dealing with
your unfortunate situation so you spitting just hurtful words
just so i feel the way you feel and you know what brother? I
refuse to let you change my mood into your bitter and hatred
ways.
I took my bag and walked out the room , i couldn't stop crying
thinking about the way he spoke to me , this means he is on
dad's side , they actually think i am a mischievous woman who
can't keep her panties on. I took deep breaths not allowing
myself to cry , they not worth my tears . I walked to the critical
ward and walked in , i looked around and saw two men sitting
outside a room i just knew that is were Alpha is , His father is
way to protective of him to leave him unguarded. I walked over
towards the room , they got up.
Me: I'm not armed.
Spike: we don't care what do you want?
Me: I came to see Alpha.
Mute: Lady if you know what's good for you , you will turn
around and go back to wherever you coming from.
Me: I'm Logan Hughes, hasn't Alpha informed you about me?
Mute: I know who you are .
Me: Then please let me see him.
Mute: (chuckles) You must think we fools ,why in the living hell
would we let a Hughe in? You want to come finish him off?
Alpha broke up with you if I'm not mistaken.
Me: I'm not here to cause trouble.
Spike: ( yelling)Hey lady , get the fuck out of here !
I looked at him as he was burning up in agitation, if i stay any
longer i will get myself killed here , i looked through the blinds ,
he was laying on the bed helplessly , i hope he recovers.
Me: I'm leaving, goodbye.
Spike : Bye princess.
I walked towards the door and drove off , what a sad feeling of
rejection to start my day.
AMARA
Last night i was locked in a waiting cell with a lot of women it
smelt all kinds of disgusting things with cockroaches and
mosquitoes that were feasting on my body , i kept scratching
my whole body practically the whole night , each of the
women fearlessly looking at me as i sat at the corner of the
room , that's where i cuddled myself to sleep. The bar gates
slammed creating a loud bang waking us up. I got up on my feet
, the police officer called out a girl in the inside.
Policeman: Let's go ! Let's go ! Stop wasting my time !.
She got up and approached the door , i walked towards the
bars that were closing up.
Me: Excuse me sir.
Policeman : Oh wow such respect from a jail bird i wonder what
have i done.
Me: I wanted to ask if you know any changes on Alpha Smith.
Policeman: You mean that big tycoon ? No i haven't heard
anything.
Me: Oh god , so when am i getting out of here? This place is not
for people like me.
The ladies mumbled behind me , the police laughed his lungs
out.
Policeman : I can see you new to all this , to answer your
question you will be here till your bail hearing what are you in
for?
I looked back to the ladies and held on the bars grabbing tightly
on the metal , how do i tell him I'm in here for shooting Alpha , i
swallowed hard and stuttered pieces words .
Me: I..i. I'm in for attempted murder.
He looked at me shaking his head and whistling.
Policeman: And you still have the guts to ask when are you
going to get out? Lady make yourself comfortable and pray
hard . Here i am wasting my time with a muderer.
He walked out the room , i turned walking slowly to the seat
that was empty i sat down covering my face with my hands , Oh
god , I'm going to jail. A dark voice called out to me.
Lady 1: That's my seat!
I looked at her as she approached me , she was buffy and
chubby she walked like a guy with her hands holding her front.
She placed her leg on the empty space near me and got closer
to my face looking down on me.
Lady 1: I said you are in my seat slut !
I am not going to let this woman bully me , i hate how people
have been pushing me around, if she was going to fight me
then I'm going to be violent and that was it.
Lady2 : ( laughs) i think she is challenging you.
Lady 1: She wouldn't dare , Hey Miss fancy pants i said you in
my seat and I'm going to say this once, if you don't move you
will be spitting blood !
I looked at her and smiled.
Me: You can seat besides me.
Lady 1: I want the whole chair , are you blind can't you see am
bigger than you.
Me: That's a shame cause I'm not moving from this seat .
She looked at me in disbelief in minutes she grabbed me by my
throat as i fought her off , she pushed me to the ground and
walked over at me brutally kicking me all around my body , she
made a blow on my stomach as my whole intestines got numb,
i held on my tummy puking and vomited on the floor. The pain
seized my whole body , i fought to get up holding my tummy , i
couldn't stand up straight as it felt like she kicked me right on
my operation, i didn't shed a tear for the first time in my life
knowing myself i would've cried my lungs out , i looked at her
and spat on the floor.
Me : Are you done?
Lady 2: Oh wow looks like someone has found her wings.
Lady 1: And i am going to cut those wings !
Me : You will not step any closer to me .
Lady 1: ( laughs) Or what?
Me: I won't only be prosecuted for attempted murder but for
both attempted and first degree murder! Try me , i dare you to
put your smelling hands me ! I am a woman with a lot of
issues i tell you and i don't deserve to be in here ! As i am going
through hell please don't make things worse for me I'm begging
you.
I walked over to the bunk and sat down , breathing rapidly, i
felt like my heart was about to explode and i was proud of
myself for standing up for myself. I was really not on my best
state and i didn't need trouble, i just want to get out of here.
NANDI
I got dressed and ordered one of the maids to take care of
Junior for me as i had to get some business done then go check
on my son.
Me: You are going to feed him right now then make sure he is
satisfied and bathe him then lay him to sleep okay.
Maid: yes Madam.
Me: Don't do any chores around the house , your chore is to
pay attention to my grandson.
Maid: I promise.
Me: I'm leaving now make sure you let the lead maid to make
sure Steve eats his breakfast and send food for Mute and Spike
at the hosiptal.
Maid: Yes Mem.
I walked over the crib and kissed Junior on the forehead, i
hated the fact he looks like his Mom , the brown eyes just
piercing in my soul. Was Alpha's genes that weak? Or was
Junior even Alpha's child? Let me get going before i begin to
hate my grandson, i can't be thinking of such. I walked out the
house to my car and drove off. I got off the police stations and
walked into reception were i was directed to the superior of the
police station.
Superior: Mrs Smith come in please seat.
Me: Thank you.
I walked in and sat down placing my bag on my thighs.
Superior: I am absolutely shocked seeing you here , mean we
got the perpetrator that almost stole your son away from you
behind bars.
Me: i know and that's why i am here.
Superior: I am listening Mrs Smith please kindly inform me why
you are here?
Me: I want a favor from you Sup , can i call you Sup?
Superior: Yes please , a favour what about?
Me: I will need you to infrom me when Amara McKenzie's bail
hearing date and the judge am i clear?
Superior: If I may ask why?
Me: That's non of your business just let me know when she is
having her bail hearing, contact me first , will you do that for
me.
I said to him fixing my bra as i held my boobs up my chest
making sure the skin was visible to him , he looked at my chest
could barely take his eyes off my cleavage.
Superior: Ofcause i will you can count on me .
Me: That's how a good cop acts like , i promise to pay you very ,
very, very handsomely.
Superior: Ofcause anything for you Mrs Smith.
Me: I'll be on my way now.
Superior : Let me walk you out.
Me: That's won't be necessary keep on doing your police work ,
Thank you.
I walked out his office and got on my car driving to the hosiptal,
i had to act fast on Amara's matter , i had to make sure she
doesn't get a chance to breathe fresh air , she deserves to be
locke up like the evil person she is. She doesn't deserve my son
nor Junior and i am going to make sure she is put away for a
very long time. I got off the the car and walked into the hosiptal
to Alpha's room.
Me: How is he?
Mute: His still unconscious.
I walked inside the room and held his hand kissing his forehead.
Me: oh my baby , my sweet darling , mommy is here and I'm
going to make everything right , you don't have to worry about
a thing.
I looked at him hoping he would sqeeze my hand or twitch his
eyelashes hearing the sound of my voice but he did non of
those. Nurse walked in , i looked at her as she checked the
machines and noted down on his file , she took out an injection
from the medicine cabinet and a needle i looked at her , she
held Alpha's drip inserting the needle in.
Me: What are you doing? Is that safe?
Nurse : Yes it is Ma , it's vitamins for his body, he needs them so
his immune system can fight against infections.
Me: Please go ahead.
She smiled and injected the medicine in , what a sweet girl with
a beautiful smile , i looked at her body that was curvaceous ,
she was beautiful a lady with a big pointed out booty and a
small waist with medium boobs.
Me: You are so beautiful.
Nurse: ( smiles) thank you Ma.
Me: What is your name? I bet you Angel or blessing cause
looking at you , you are indeed an Angel.
Nurse: ( giggles) My name is Natasha Ma.
Me: Nice to meet you Natasha.
Natasha: You too Ma.
She walked out the room as i still kept my eyes on her . Now
this is the kind of woman Alpha should be mingling with not
bad girls like Amara that don't know what they want in life just
steering along like a cloud being pushed by wind.
STEVE
The drug was sent via post office and i received it just so
nothing traces back to me , no one will be digging in my post
parcels and that was a better coverage, i held the bottle of the
intoxicant that was going to solve my problem. I picked up my
phone and called Megan still staring at the bottle that was
going to silence her forever.
Megan: Steve hey.
Me: Hey beautiful , what are you up to?
Megan: Just busy with Mayoral paper work why?
Me: I want to come over, i miss you.
Megan: Don't play smart with me Steve.
Me: I'll bring you a bottle of wine from my cellar .
Megan: What were you thinking?
Me: Red wine?
Megan: Okay , I'll prepare snacks.
Me: I'll be with you shortly.
She dropped the call , i got up and walked out the study to
my basement, Nandi had a cellar of wine collection attached to
the wall , i pulled out a bottle of red wine and looked at it .
Me: Hope this bottle is nice cause it will be the last thing she
tastes today. I walked out with the bottle to my room , in the
bathroom that's where all the magic begun , i took off the cap
and poured the poison in carefully not to spill i wanted every
drop in the bottle. Squeezing the bottle closed i walked out
with my car keys and drove to the house. I played my favorite
song on the way Tapping my fingers on the steering wheel as i
singed along to the song as i looked at my wedding ring .
Me: ( singing) Stuck on you , i got this feeling down deep in my
soul that i just can't lose , guess I'm on my way , needed a
friend but the way i feel now guess I'll be with you till the end ,
guess I'm on my way and i might be glad you stay.
I sang along to Lionel Richie till i parked outside the house
holding the bottle of wine. I walked inside and she embraced
me with a hug.
Megan: I knew you'd come back to your senses.
Me: And I'm glad i did.
Megan : Come in , i made you a fruit salad is that fine?
Me: Yes bring it along and a glass of water.
Megan: Won't you be drinking wine?
Me: Don't you have whisky in here?
Megan: No , i don't sorry.
Me: It's okay bring your glass and a glass of water maybe if i
stop drinking whisky just for a day i won't die.
Megan: Guess so.
She brought a plate of cut pieces of fruit and a glass for herself,
she sat down besides me as i poured the wine for her , i looked
at her faking a smiled , she smiled back at me , handing her
the glass of wine she place the glass on her nose .
Me: Been in my cellar for about 2 years now.
Megan: I can smell it , it will taste amazing.
I fed her fruits and she took them down with the wine and
smile.
Me: How does it taste?
Megan: God , i think I'll drink the whole bottle it's so good ,
wine just has that power to unleash the slut in me.
Me: ( scoffs) Then tonight you will have to show me that slut ,
drink up sweetheart.
She gulped the glass and poured herself another, gulping on it
too , i looked at her as the poison began to kick in , she held her
chest swallowing saliva as her mouth and throat dried up she
looked at me as i smiled at her , she dropped the glass on the
carpet and screamed with her burnt voicebox.
Megan: ( panicking) Steve i can't breathe.
I just sat down quietly and looked at her , she got up from the
couch and fell on the floor holding on her throat gasping for her
, she screamed crying.
Megan: You bastard! You poisoned me!
Me: Says who ? You?
Megan : You won't get away with this !
Me : Why not? These only the two of us here , me and you no
one will know that i killed you.
Megan: ( crying) Steve please .
I walked to her and i kneeled before her as she was laying on
the back gasping for her , her mouth was dry , eyes purely
white , she was dying.
Me: I am going to get away with this , like i always do know
why? Because this will be our little secret , see you in hell
Megan!
She gasped for air and tried spitting in my face but her salvia
glands were dead already.
Me: Come on sweetheart don't be like that , you dying , you
should be praying for salvation.
Megan: You will rot in hell !
Her whole body began to shake uncontrollably having a severe
seizure , i got up and watched her shake on the floor with foam
being released out her mouth. She shaked for 5 minutes as
closed all Windows and doors , i walked outside and took out a
can of patrol from the back of my jeep , i poured the patrol all
around the house including on furniture and on her body that
was laying helplessly on the floor . I opened up the gas tank
could hear the gas escape from the tank , i walked out the
house to the door opening up the letter slot on the front door, i
took put a box of cigarettes from my back pocket and lit it up
one cigar , i tossed it inside the house and walked away to my
car , driving off to the road a loud explosion occured. My job
was done.
To be continued.

GRACE
We managed to get a lawyer for Amara , he is not the best but
he is affordable and good with his services. He came to pick me
up at the house and we drove together to the police station. He
managed to get us a private room to talk in , we sat down and
Amara walked in with her hands cuffed at her back .
Me: Amara , my sweet baby girl.
She was uncuffed and walking into my arms , i gave her a tight
hug and kissed her cheeks , she forced a smile on her face and
went to seat on the opposite side of the table, i sat down and
held her hands.
Me: How are you? How are you holding up?
Amara: I'm in jail Ma what did you expect?
Me: I'm sorry that was a silly question , I'm here with a laywer
and he will be helping you out on the case.
She and the lawyer shook hands.
Lawyer: i will need some privacy with Miss McKenzie .
Me : Okay i will be outside .
Amara: okay Ma.
I got up and walked out the door , closing the door i could hear
Amara talk to the lawyer, Jaden called me , i placed the phone
on my ear.
Jaden: Ma have you seen her?
Me: Yes we did , Jaden my boy things are not good with Amara.
Jaden: Why is she sick? Did they assault her?
Me: Physically she is okay but emotionally no she is not , she is
probably worried about Junior and worried even more about
Alpha .
Jaden: But Alpha is okay Ma , his surgery was a success now we
just waiting for him to regain consciousness.
Me: I will infrom her when they done with the lawyer.
Jaden: I wish the was more i could do Ma.
Me : I'm just praying that Alpha wakes up , he is our last hope in
this situation.
Jaden: And what does that mean?
Me: Alpha is the key to get Amara out of here , if he was awake
he wouldn't even allowed Amara to spend a minute in a jail cell
.
Jaden: Well then Alpha is laying flat on the bed these nothing
he can do , what about his family?
Me: I doubt they will support Amara after shooting Alpha , they
probably have already written her down in their enemies list ,
that Smith family is cruel !
Jaden: You don't even know them that deep Ma.
Me: You don't have to know people to see they cruel their
actions speak louder ,what they did to Amara is absolute
cruelty! Instead of them asking her what happened seating her
down and ask what resorted to her shooting Alpha they got her
arrested .
Jaden: Emotions were running high that's understandable but
their fault in this is letting it escalate to the press.
Me: Are you on their side?
Jaden: On the side of the truth.
Me: What truth ? so you saying Amara deserves to be in here?
Jaden: That's not what I'm saying but truth be told Amara is in
prison because she shot Alpha , Alpha didn't shoot himself .
Me: Jaden i think you should prescribe yourself some of your
brain pills cause you are obviously not thinking right.
Jaden: Okay Ma , The Smith's are cruel and i am in your side.
Me: Just go back to work before i get angry at you .
Jaden : I'll call you later don't stress to much on Amara situation
mind your health.
Me: I will
I hung up and sat outside the room for a full hour as the lawyer
and Amara had a chat , i walked into reception and asked if it's
allowed i buy Amara some fast food , i doubt she has eaten ,
the police office said it was okay. I texted Jaden to order a take
away and get it deliver at the police station. Still waiting on the
laywer the food was delivered.
Lawyer : We are done you can come in and talk to her , I'll buy
you guys some time.
I walked in the room and sat down placing the McDonald
packet on the table.
Me: Here is something to keep you going my girl.
Amara: Thank you Ma , it's like you knew i haven't eaten since
yesterday.
She ate up and i looked at her munching on the fast food , she
was really starving, i poke in the straw in the milkshake and
handed it to her.
Me: Alpha is okay if you wondering he is out of danger.
Amara: Thank you, I'm also worried about Junior, Alpha's mom
hates me and she threatened me , she said i won't ever see
Junior ever again.
Me: That's a lie ! Who the hell is she to tell you that crap ! Not
while I'm still alive.
Amara: Ma i don't want to fight with her and i just hope she
sees how sorry i am for what i did to Alpha , i didn't mean to
shoot him , i was frustrated and angry, it just happened.
Me: Understandable but what has Junior got to do with what
happened! She can't punish a little baby boy because of your
mistakes ! She doesn't even have the right to keep Junior away
from you.
Amara: Those people have money Ma , money that could buy
anything or anyone in the world , i am just a poor graduate with
nothing, i feel like i will be going up against royalty while i am
just a commoner.
Me: I will slap the crap out of you if i hear you speak like that !
Those people are not royal they are just evil people! And i will
be damned if they take my great grandchild away from his
mother! Let that woman try you , they can come at me with
guns or even billions she won't get away with her evil plan
to punish you for something that happened unplanned, Jesus
Christ what kind of a woman is Alpha's Mother.
I stared into space thinking about Alpha's Mother's plan , it will
not work, not while I'm still living and breathing , who was she
to tell Amara she won't see her son ever again?
NANDI
I finally left Alpha and went home opening the door , i got a call
from my house insurance company , i was shocked when
receiving that call cause my house was in perfect shape.
Me: Hello.
Caller: May i speak to Mrs Nandi Smith please.
Me:Speaking.
Caller: Hi Mrs Smith we said to announce to you that your
house has caught a fire.
Me : I am in my house right now and the is no fire here.
Caller: You house in South hills Mem , the house number is
1312.
Me: How ? Cause no one is living in that house.
Caller: I'm afraid it's in flames right now and we have contacted
the fire department.
Me: Thank you i will go over right now.
Caller: Happy to be at your services.
I dropped my call as the maid handed me Junior as he was
crying his little lungs out . I kissed his cheeks and sat down with
him rocking.
Me: Has he eaten?
Maid: Yes Mem he has , his been crying half the day.
Me: I wonder what's wrong.
I took his milk bottle and gave it to him , he sucked just for a
second and cried.
Maid: I think he misses his mom's breast milk Madam, we
should take him to his mom.
I looked at her frowning my face , i have never been
disrespected by a servant before .
Me: You said what?
She bowed her head brushing her hands on her thighs.
Maid: I didn't mean to upset you Madam i was just saying.
Me: You better know your place in this house if you still want to
work here and i clear?
Maid: I'm sorry Madam.
Me: Get out of my sight before i fire you !
She quickly walked out the room as i looked at him. Steve
walked in her had changed the clothes he was wearing without
minding him , i patted Junior's back claming him.
Steve: He is grumpy today.
Me: Very if you ask me.
Steve: Hand him to me , Maybe i might give him a few lessons
that Smith man don't cry.
Me: His just a baby Steve.
He took Junior and rocked him around the room speaking to
him.
Steve: Talk to papa what's wrong? Why are you angry at Mama
did she hit you?
I watched him calm Junior down as he held him against his
chest , speaking to him , Junior kept quiet, i handed him the
milk bottle and he fed him seating on the couch.
Me: Before i forget , you remember our house in south hills?
Steve: Yes what's wrong with it?
Me: I got a call our house insurance company and the house is
on fire , it's burning down.
Steve: Really? I wonder what is the cause.
Me: I wonder too , let me switch on the tv.
Steve: Make sure it's not loud looks like my son is falling asleep
right here.
Me: ( smiles) Okay sweetie.
I switched on the tv and the house was really on the news ,
they showed us live vidoes of the house on fire as fire fighters
did their jobs , i was really shocked that literally the whole
house was up in flames , Steve shook his head and clicked his
tougue.
Steve: It might have been the bloodly homeless people.
Me: Homeless people? In South hills come on Steve that's a
suburban neighbourhood police would've chased them out.
Steve: Then what is the excuse? What caused the spark.
Me: We will leave the investigator for that , shush i the reporter
is reporting.
[ reporter : The fire fighters did all they could to save what was
in the house and the building it's self , The fire men said they
found a death body , it was damanged to the extent they
couldn't identity the gender of the body , the neighbours
reportedly said they saw a young woman a few days back in the
house and she has been living here alone, this house is
reportedly to be the house of the famous family known as the
Smith's but they moved out years ago leaving the house
vacated. Who is the woman that has been living here? Was she
close to the Smiths? Is the burnt body found in the house the
woman body? Those question will remain with us till we get a
full report from SAPS , reporting to you live on the Scene is
Tumelo Mabaso from SABC News. ]
I looked at Steve as we were both in shocked.
Me: This is bad Steve, arg first it's this Amara's drama now this!
Will we ever have a normal peaceful household.
Steve: We should set a press conference addressing both these
scandals.
Me: I think we should do that too and quickly control this
before it escalates.
Steve: Darling don't stress yourself about this , we are innocent
that lady that was living in there owes us an explanation how
she managed to get into our house cause i don't remember
selling the house or renting it out.
Me: I wonder who is she.
Steve: She is toast i don't think they will be able to identify her .
Me: I hope they do , so her family buries her.
Steve: As for that house i am cutting all ties with it , i don't want
anything coming to bite me.
Me: I'm with you on that one . I'll go make us a cup of tea as we
think about this whole mess.
Steve: Thank you my love
I got up and walked to the kitchen.
MUTE
Abbygail came to see Drew and when she was done she came
to see me , i walked her away from Alpha's room to the
hallway.
Abby: How are you?
Me: I am doing fine actually just tired.
Abby: Are you guarding Alpha ? Cause i noticed you haven't
slept in a while.
Me: I won't be able to sleep with my brother still laying in that
hospital bed , i have to be here with him.
Abby: ( smiles) You love Alpha don't you? You even calling him
your brother.
Me: ( chuckles) Yes i do but don't tell him i love him he'll call me
gay.
Abby: ( laughs) You are such an amazing person Mute , mean
who does what you do ? You sacrificing yourself for another
person who isn't even your blood relative.
Me: Alpha is not just a person he is my brother as i said, let's
not talk about me and my family . How is school?
Abby: School is okay but my apartment is not.
Me: Why not?
Abby: Ma and dad fought now she is living with me
Me: Oh so you don't want her in your house?
Abby: It's not that i don't want her in my house it's just that i
like my space away from them and their drama and now Ma
has brought it right into my house.
Me: Why don't you tell her then , tell her you don't want her in
your house and that you want your own space.
Abby: I can't just throw her out she's my mom.
Me: Then find a way to deal with her existence in your house.
Abby: I will I'm probably just being childish about this whole
mom moving in thing. So tell me why did you kiss me Mr Mute
Marcus.
Me: ( scoffs) You were talking to much so i had too.
Abby: I think I'm talking to much right now.
Me: Do you want me to silence you?
Abby: maybe yes maybe no , but surpise me.
Spike walked up to us .
Spike: Mute i need to go out for a while.
Me: Okay don't worry I'll be with Alpha shortly you can go.
He stared at Abby and walked away.
Abby: He doesn't look fond of me.
Me: He isn't fond of anyone that's his natured. I should go , I'll
call you.
I gave her a hug and walked away from her approaching Alpha's
room , with Drew in the same hospital as he is we couldn't
afford to leave him unguarded. I walked in the room and sat
down besides him.
THABO
I withdrew all the money i had in my account it was about R5
million , i had striked a deal with a gang in the city they charged
me an arm and a leg to organize the guns for me to transport
the machines to Germany , that was the only option i had left
than organizing men to go rip guns from police stations cause
that was an impossible mission. I packed the money in a bag ,
Cohen walked in .
Me: are you ready to go get the guns?
Cohen: Yes Sir.
I looked at him and walked to him holding a glass of whisky.
Me: Have you ever took your last money and went to bet with
it ? Not just your last money but the money that was going to
sustain your properties, pay your bills and feed your family?
Cohen: No sir.
Me: Well at this point i am that man , i took out all the money i
had in my bank , i am broke as we speak.
Cohen: ( clears his throat) I hear you sir
Me : Listen to me and listen to me attentively! This is the last
money i had in my account, it's a gamble cause if you lose this
money make sure you kill yourself cause i will personally make
sure i kill you myself , listen to me carefully when i say this 5
million in that bag is the only money i have , i am a broke man
standing infront of you. And i will not tolerate you doing a
sloppy job with my money, come back here with the
merchandise , am i clear?
Cohen: Clear.
Me: Take the bag and go get my guns.
He walked out the study holding the bag , i sat down and held
my head as i was broke , Steve didn't just burn down my
warehouse, he burnt down my money, i had to cover
everything after that mess that was up to Millions too, covering
the coke he stole and had to pay my partners their share of the
supply because i was embarrassed to tell them that i was in a
war with Steve Smith and he took everything, i would've been a
laughing stock in my society. I couldn't bare that thought. The
house was quiet just silence piercing throughout the rooms , i
took a bottle of whisky and sat down enjoying the fine bottle
of Hennessey. I looked at my glass swallowing the hot spirit
admiring the easy it brought into my soul and mind , it tasted
like everything is going to be okay.
65
STEVE
We managed to go to the house and take a look at it , leaving
Junior behind with his nanny , the house was really burnt down
, we could smell smoke from a distance , we got out the car
with reporters approaching us , Spike was with us , he looked at
the reporters protecting Nandi as they were handing out
microphones towards her mouth.
Nandi: Spike it's okay.
Spike: Are you sure you want to talk to them?
Nandi: Yes.
Steve: Step aside.
He stepped aside as Nandi addressed the reporters, she had her
head high , talking to them not in fear .
Nandi: Hi , as you can see me and my husband has just arrived
to witness what actually happened to the house , we both or
any of the members of our family knew about the woman that
is reportedly have been staying in our house.
Reporter 1 : So the woman was staying here without your
knowledge.
Nandi: Yes that is true and it would be unfortunate that the
body found in the house burnt is hers cause we also would've
like to question her on her stay in a house that belong to us
without our knowledge.
Reporter 2 : Mrs Smith ! Mrs Smith.
The reporter shouted at the back of the crowd.
Nandi: Yes Miss at the back.
Reporter: We heard about Alpha's shooting and that he was
shot by the mother of his child Amara McKenzie, what
perpetrated her into taking such harsh precautions?
Nandi: She was cheating on my son with Drew Hughes.
I looked at her in absolute shock , i held her hand trying to walk
her out the crowd she pulled her hand off my touch and stared
at me. As the crowd wrote down also puzzled about her
answer.
Nandi: Yes it's true , ever since that girl arrived in my family it's
been episodes after episodes! She has brought nothing but
shame to my family and a broken heart to my son who is still
laying flat in a ICU fighting for his life because of loving that girl
and i am happy to say she will be paying dearly for what she did
! Justice must be served she has proven herself to not being a
fit mom to her son Junior or a woman worth loved and trusted
by Alpha ! She is a danger to society and for that I'm going to
personally make sure she doesn't see the light of the day , she
deserves to rot in a dark cell ! In a maximum prison !
Reporter 1 : Isn't Junior too young to grow up without his
mother? His barely 2 months
Nandi: Junior will be surrounded by his father's family, lot's of
love and support, he is my grandchild and i am insuring that he
is protect with all cost if that means keeping him away from his
mother then so be it , i won't be able to live with myself if
something bad happened to my grandson.
Reporter 3 : And what is the family prepared to do with the
dead body found in the house.
Me :We will host a press conference , you will get our answers
then , I think that will be all , thank you for your time !
I held Nandi's wrist and got her into the car , she sat down
placing her bag on her thighs and sighed.
Me: What the hell was that?
Nandi: What?
Me: The crap you were saying about Amara !
Nandi: It wasn't crap ! And we both know it's true , she shot my
son to be with Drew but guess what ! My living god showed her
she was a lying not on his watch !
Me: You are making the poor girls life a living hell .
Nandi: Not like she doesn't deserve it ! She deserves everything
coming her way ! No wonder her sister or mother wherever she
is got shot and died because of the dark witch cloud hovering
over that McKenzie family ! I swear on my dead body ! Alpha
won't even step 4 feet closer to that girl ! I will be damned!
Me : You can't make decisions for Alpha.
Nandi: Yes i can ! I am his mother and he has to listen to me.
Me: We both know that won't happen .
Nandi: We will see , as for Amara i meant every word i said (
clicks her tougue) She must stay the hell away from my family
we don't need someone like her inbetween us , she has done
enough damage , she must take her bad lucks somewhere else
not to my house , evil things are playing in her body controlling
her , i won't be surprised even if she gave Alpha a love potion
to love her so my son could save her from poverty!
Me: You need to cool down cause when i told you about this
girl , you were supporting her relationship with Alpha now you
are guns blazing ready to send her to jail.
Nandi: She proven that she is an animal! Ready to spill my son's
blood , I'm doing what any mother would do to protect her
child.
Me: We didn't even get to view the house.
Nandi: Just take me Alpha , i want to be with him .
Me: Spike drive us to the hosiptal.
Spike : Yes sir.
Spike drove off, i looked at Nandi that was looking out the
window , i held her hand and kissed it , she looked at me.
Me: It's going to be okay , Alpha is going to be okay.
Nandi : Can't help but think , maybe my son will give up and the
doctor will just tell us to come switch off the machines or
something ( sobbing) When i got the call about him being shot ,
i thought i lost my son Steve , i thought i lost my baby boy.
Me: ( softly) No darling please don't cry , you breaking my heart
. Alpha is not going anywhere atleast not anytime soon.
We stopped at the hospital and we walked in going upstairs to
where our son was laying , Mute was with him in the room he
could barely keep his eyes open , he was tired, warned out. I
could see how tired he is it was written all over his face. Nandi
walked in and sat next to Alpha's bed .
Me: Mute can we talk outside.
Mute: Sure Pop's , what's up?
I closed the door behind him , we sat down on the steel chairs.
Me: You should go home son , it's already getting late so you
should go home.
Mute: No , i thought i made it clear i will be here with Alpha till
he wakes up.
Me: These no problem in that my son , but you can't look after
Alpha while you could barely keep your eyes open , you must
go home , eat , bath and sleep , you are tired .
Mute : Well yeah i am but what about Alpha.
Me: I and Nandi will bd here , for your satisfaction we will get
more gaurds , now go home son.
Mute: Okay but I'll be back.
Me: No problem just go sleep.
Mute : Okay I'm leaving.
He tucked his gun tightly on his hip and walked out .I love how
my boys actually care about one another , they seem like blood
brothers because of the love they share , why am i even
surprised i trained these boys.
GRACE
We sat down having dinner. It was about 7 oclock still early , i
couldn't eat , didn't have the appetite .
Jaden: You haven't touched your food.
Me: I'm not interested in food .
Jaden: You have to eat Ma so you can take your pills.
Me: I will blend myself some fruit just so i get vitamins.
Jaden: That's not good enough, should i make you a salad then?
Me: No Jaden i will have blended juice.
Jaden: I was just trying to look out for you.
Me: You should stop , I am a full grown woman Jaden. I can
take good care of myself thank you.
Jaden: ( scoffs) you should've made that clear so i don't bother
myself anymore and Ma I'm sorry for trying so much to protect
you as my mother but then ever since Amara arrived into your
life you have been careless about your health and that is so
unfair on me !
He got up from the table and tossed his plate in the sink
walking to his room
Me: My baby , please I'm sorry , Jaden , I'm talking to you
He carried on walking into his room slamming the door behind
him . I got up and carried my plate placing it inside the
microwave, why couldn't Jaden understand i am worried about
Amara , the poor girl will be spending the night in a jail cell and
here i was eating a home cooked meal going to sleep on my
comfy bed. I felt like I'm failing Amara just like failed Rose. I
walked out to my room taking out an old Album i was keeping
of Rose's pictures when she was still a little girl , in this album
there were all her pictures from birth till 7 year's old. I was very
materialistic in my younger ages , i liked fancy things so taking
pictures was a norm for me , that's why i had this album full of
Rose's pictures . I took out a picture and looked at her smiling
at the camera.
Me: Where are you Rosie? Can't you see your daughter
suffering? Why are you so quiet , while they trying to break
your baby girl like this ? You should be fighting with her ,
fighting spiritually with her , ( sobbing) she needs you , she
needs a sign of hope , she is losing hope . Please , show yourself
to her , save your child.
I placed the picture on my chest and cried laying on the bed as i
hugged on the picture.
AMARA
I sat down on the chair with the other ladies , they had stop
bullying me , they haven't talked to me just stealing glances of
me. I didn't want to stay here no more , i just wanted to go
home and scrub myself and cuddle myself next to my son , i
missed him so much , wonder how is he doing? Has he eaten ?
Is he alseep? Are they even taking good care of my boy . Megan
has probably had the chance to get a hold of my son , she is
probably thrilled to have me behind bars , Oh god no ! What if
she hands the video to the police ? That would be the final nail
to my coffin , i will go to jail.
ABBYGAIL
Mute came to pick me up , i didn't know why but i would really
do with some time away from mom always complaining about
Dad asking me and wondering if he had eaten or had his pills.
She was completely fussing on someone who didn't even care
about her , who didn't seat and wonder if she has eaten or
where is she staying. I packed my bag with my phone and
laptop cause i just knew i will be spending the night with Mute ,
i know you must be thinking I'm am a fool for letting him in my
life after what he did to me but these nothing wrong in giving a
person a second chance.
Thandeka: And where are you going?
Me: To study with a friend.
Thandeka: I wasn't born yesterday Abbygail.
Me: i will be back tomorrow morning Ma , i love you.
Thandeka: I thought we would watch a movie and have a
mother- daughter time.
Me: not tonight Ma bye , lock the door.
Thandeka: Bye sweetie, be safe.
I walked outside and approached the car , Mute was inside the
car with the engine still growling. I got in and kissed his cheek.
Me: hey.
Mute: Hi .
Me : ( smiling) You look sleepy.
Mute: I'm very tired if you'd ask me
Me: Then let's go.
He drove off the car , i looked at him as he steered the wheel ,
his arms with viens grabbing a hold on the leather covered
wheel , hate to mention but I'm a slut of vieny arms on the men
they just managed to bring out the slut in me. He drove into a
apartment complex as i looked around i expected maybe he
lived in the Smith's mansion i have never been there , heard of
how beautiful it looks in the inside people that have been there
say it's like walking into a royal palace with a lot of maids just
pacing around in the house , i would've liked to spend the
night in there . We got off the car and he locked it helping me
out with my laptop bag , we walked inside the apartment , i
stepped in looking around .
Mute: Excuse the clothes laying around , i haven't been in here
for days been spending nights at home.
Me: I understand.
He picked up a few clothes that were on the floor , i held my
bag close to my stomach browsing the room. He had a flat
screen tv hooked on the wall with an L couch at the center of
the room , just at the corner of the room was a full set kitchen ,
this apartment looked cost and mostly it was big for him to live
here alone , he could have a family in here maybe a married
couple with a child could live here and happily.
Mute: Make yourself at home please.
Me: Thank you.
Mute: Are you hungry? You can order anything my treat.
Me: Okay I'll order us a pizza.
Mute: I'll go shower in the meantime.
I nodded my head as he walked inside the room , i got up from
the couch and walked inside the room , his whole room was
painted in black and gry with black sheets and grey pillow cases
not to say I'm surprised cause basically he likes black he wears
black his Jeep his back. I opened up the wodrope helping myself
into a t-shirt and socks. The shower was switched off , he
walked out the shower and looked at me.
Mute: I see you have figured out what you going to sleep in.
Me: I hope you don't mind me wearing your clothes.
Mute: Not at all you look beautiful in my t-shirt actually suits
you more than me.
I looked down at the t-shirt and smiled . A knock came through
at the door he looked at me.
Me: I think that's the pizza.
Mute: Go get it then I'll get dressed.
I walked to the door and tipped the delivery guy , walking inside
with the box of pizza . I placed it on the table and began having
slices , Mute walked out the room and sat besides me.
Me: So how is Alpha?
Mute: Is the pizza good?
Me: Yeah it's good , have a slice.
Mute: Thank you , when we done here we could go sleep.
Me: Okay.
He had a few slices yawning the whole time , we watched a
show and he would drop his head sleepy .
Mute: I think we should go sleep.
Me: Me too , I'm tired.
Walking in his room he laid down behind me on the bed ,
wrapping his arms around me. I looked at his naked chest as he
pulled me tightly against him. I held onto him tightly closing my
eyes.
[ THE FOLLOWING MORNING]
THABO
Cohen came back last night and he got the guns without
complications i have never been happier. I got my phone and
called the Germans.
Me: My friend.
German leader: I am not your friend .
Me : I got the guns.
German: We don't need the guns chom.
Me: Come on , i did all i could to secure these guns for you.
German leader : Too late , i got my guns and i don't think i will
be dealing with you anytime sooner.
Me: Why not? I have been supplying guns to you unproblematic
through all these years come on man !
German leader: We are done here.
Me : My friend please listen to me , i can give you a discount.
He hung up the call , i screamed in anger wripping my
telephone off the table and threw it across the room !
Me : ( screaming) Fuck!
Cohen: Sir are you fine ?
Me: Get out of my study !
Cohen: Sir please talk to me what's wrong with you.
I launched towards him and slapped him hard across the face ,
he looked at me as i grabbed his throat strangling him in anger ,
he gasped for air under the palm of my mercy , i looked at him
tightening my grip on his neck he couldn't breathe his forehead
had viens pop out , as he was about to blank out , i tossed him
on the floor !
Me: ( screaming) You are going to walk out that door and
bring me a buying !
He coughed holding onto his neck .
Cohen: The Germans? What about them?
Me: They said they got a new seller , I'm done Cohen !
Cohen: Don't worry boss , i will go out and fish for buyers.
Me: Get out of my sight !
He walked out the room , as i picked up the whisky bottle on
the table, this can't be happening , i needed money as soon as
possible.
NANDI
I visited Alpha early in the morning , this time i came with
Junior, i figured Junior missed his dad and if maybe he was in
the same room as him , he could stop crying much , the story of
him missing his mother won't work on me. I took Alpha finger
and placed it in his hand , he wrapped his little hand around his
father's finger.
Me : That's daddy's hand , you miss your daddy? Call him out
say daddy i miss you, wake up please.
Junior just looked at me with his other hand in his mouth
sucking on his fist with saliva dripping on his clothes. I sighed
looking at him.
Me: i know baby i shouldn't have brought you to this place , you
are probably afraid of this unfamiliar room , honey you are in
hospital and your father is laying here because..
Alpha's hand moved as he gripped on Junior's hand , i looked at
the hand amazed , my heart speeding in excitement, i looked at
his eyes as his lashes moved .
Me: Alpha , baby can you hear me.
His lips moved but he couldn't say a word, i smiled holding
Junior against my chest.
Me: Oh my god , my baby is waking up.
I walked to the door and called out for a nurse , Natasha walked
in , she looked at Alpha taking off the ventilation machine.
Me: Honey , please open your eyes , it's me , your mother look
at me.
He blinked opening his eyes slowly. Tears of joy streamed
down my cheek , this was the happiest moment of my life , took
me back to when he first opened his eyes as a baby , i just held
him as little as he was against my chest looking at those
beautiful black eyes , i just knew he was the love of my life and i
feel like a failure or even better a taboo to call myself his
mother cause i didn't invest my love into him , i was too busy
trying to be a good wife to Steve and i became a bad mother to
my child , we would leave him alone with the maids in the
house and go dine with Steve's clients and go out to met gala
dinners everynight leaving him all alone at home. He opened up
his eyes and looked at me , i held his cheek.
Me: My baby .
Alpha: Water , I'm thirsty.
Natasha poured him water and helped him up the bed , holding
the cup for him , he drank from the cup and sat up , holding his
torso , he was flinching as he sat up on the bed , looks like it still
hurt. The doctor walked in and checked on him.
Me: Is he fine.
Doctor : His fine but we will have to run a few tests just so we
be sure.
Me: Yes please do so.
Doctor: I will arrange a nurse to come extract blood.
Me: Okay thank you Doc.
I took my phone out informing Steve that Alpha has regain
consciousness, he was happy to hear these news and promised
he will inform Mute so they both come to the hosiptal, i
dropped the call and looked at him as he reached his hands out
calling his son.
Alpha: Junior.
Me: Oh yeah Junior, his fine , his been living at the house while
you were unconscious.
I handed Junior to him , he held him giving him a kiss.
Alpha : What is he doing with you? Hey big guy.
Natasha : Please Ma , he needs to rest.
Me: No problem my child , Alpha you heard what Natasha said
you need to rest.
Alpha : I asked you a question!where is Amara and why is my
son with you and not with his mother.
Me : Don't worry yourself about her , please rest.
Alpha : You ( points at the nurse) Get lost ! Ma i won't repeat
myself !
Me : ( screaming) Can you stop it please ! You just woke up
from a coma and all you want to know is where is the girl that
almost killed you? What the hell is wrong with you!
Alpha: You not answering my question.
Mute and Steve walked in the room , i exhaled walking towards
the window , thank god they have arrived.
Mute: Alpha are you okay?
Alpha: I'm good brother.
Mute: Welcome back.
Alpha: ( chuckles) It's good to be back , where is Amara?
The room went silent as we all didn't know what to say to him ,
we were afriad of the wrath we were going to endure after
informing him Amara is in prison.
Steve: Does your gun shot wound still hurt.
Alpha: Is there something wrong with Amara that you all keep
avoiding my question? Mute hand me your phone , i will call
her myself and find out why our son is with my family instead
of her.
Mute: That won't be necessary Alpha.
Alpha: Why not ? I want to speak with the mother of my child.
Mute: Alpha , Amara is in prison.
He looked at him frowning with his eyebrows raised , Steve
looked at me , as we stared at each other. Alpha bursted out in
laughter , we looked at him as he laughed his lungs out.
Alpha: ( laughing)You joking isn't it?
Mute: No I'm not she is in prison.
Alpha: Why are you standing here then ! Go get her out !
Me: Mute will do no such thing ! Amara deserves to be there!
Alpha: Oh i see what's going on here ! You Ma ! It was you that
put Amara in there !
Me: Exactly it was me and she is going nowhere not till she pays
for what she did to you !
Alpha: You are really insane! Yes you are crazy Ma , who the
hell do you think you are ? Putting the mother of my child
behind bars, who the hell do you think you are?listen here lady
you will go to the police station and drop all charges against
Amara and that's not a request that's an order!
He said demanding and shouting his broad lungs out , I was
close to crying hearing my son speak to me in that manner this
just proved that Amara really cast a spell on Alpha and it was
strong to the extent he is willingly to bulldoze anything in her
way .
Me: I am the mother to Alpha Smith ! A grown man who thinks
he could do whatever he wants and talk whatever he wants to
me ! I am a mother who almost lost her child ! I am a mother
with a bleeding heart because my child doesn't respect nor
show appreciation for what i did for him , i don't know what i
did to deserve such treatment from you Alpha and i will not be
present in a room where i am not needed or even loved ,
appreciated or shown affection ! I'm done apologizing, I'm done
reaching out to you for godsake hoping you would open your
heart fully for me to love you my son , i apologizing for doing
what i was right for my child !
I picked up my bag and left the room in tears.

I had been on my laptop searching on different treatments i
could take to be normal again, i wanted to walk , i was
desperate to walk again. I felt less of a man without legs ,
frustrated even more that i couldn't move an ich , i felt useless,
my father hasn't visited me , it's like my whole family
abandoned me , they left me out to the wolves. A nurse
walked in rolling a wheelchair.
Me: And then ? What is this for?
Nurse: I'm taking you to a Doctor.
Me: I don't recall making an appointment with one
Nurse: You don't have to Sir , it's what your doctor knows it's
best for you , you have to start exercising your legs.
Me: How when i can't even feel my legs !
Nurse : The Psychotherapist I'm taking you too is very good ,
sha has helped a lot of people in the similar situation as you are
in , telling you they walking today and they come each and
everyday to thank her for her miraculously job
Me: You selling me lies.
Nurse: If that's what you want to believe Mr Hughes that's on
you.
She helped me off the bed onto the wheelchair pushing me out
. It was embarrassing to be rolled in a wheelchair, felt like
people were looking at me , staring at me , probably laughing
and gossiping about me , i just wish i stayed in London , i would
still have my legs and probably be living my best life. Coming to
South Africa was the worst decision i ever made for me and my
life. She pushed me inside a room with people in my similar
situation. A woman approached me , she looked at me and
smiled, she was actually a beautiful English woman with Blonde
hair and red lips .
Doctor: Hi , I'm Dr Molly Roberts and I'm your Physiotherapist .
Me: Hi Molly , I'm Drew Hughes.
Molly: ( smiles) Nice to meet you , well shall we begin.
Me: Why not.
She walked behind me and took over from the nurse pushing
me towards a bed .
Molly: Today we will start with some leg stretches just to see
where are your pain points , just so i observe where you need
help .
Me: Okay.
Two men helped me lay on the bed as i laid down face up , i
was wearing shorts with my knees bandaged as the bullets
went into my knee cap and blew my nerves exiting the backs , i
haven't even spend time thinking of my comeback revenge
onto Alpha . I knew deep down i deserved this suffering
because of what i did to Amara , she has been nothing but a
good person towards me and i used that , i used her. Dr Molly
pushed my knees up banging my knees , the pain hit my nerves,
my knee cracked , i groaned covering my eyes with my arm and
laid back.
Me: ( in pain) Fuck ! ( breathing) God that is painful !
I raised up my head with my eyes piling tears , i was in pain.
Molly: Breathe okay , keep breathing for me.
She continued banding my knee , i held on the sheet on the bed
tightly clinching tightly on my teeth , My whole body was hot
and sweaty with the pain vibrating in my body , my body was
numb i couldn't feel myself but i could hear my heart beat and
the blood running hot in my veins , i was burning hot ,
massively in pain.
AMARA
I got up from the bunk and walked to the little sink that had a
cracked mirror and a toilet beside it , I washed my face looking
at the image of woman before me , was it me? Is she me? she
looks so tired, she looks so warned out not to mention the ugly
bags under her eyes , she looked awful.
Policeman: Amara McKenzie!
I looked at him as be opened up the bars. I was even scared
approaching the gate , was it my bail hearing time? Was i going
to be prosecuted?
Policeman: Hey ! Stop wasting my time!
I walked towards the bars as he applied cuffs on my wrist.
Me: Where are you taking me?
Policeman: That's not on my job prescription.
He walked me out the cells towards the main entrances , the
sunlight that rapidly hit my skin with the fresh air that filled up
my nostrils was blissful , i was happy to be out of that place that
rank only sweat and pee from the dirt toilet that has been there
for years. Mute was standing at reception with my lawyer. I
walked towards them confused.
Mute: Amara.
Me: Hey , what's going on?
Lawyer: The Smith family have dropped the charges against
you.
My jaw dropped , i was surprised , didn't expect this cause
Nandi made it clear i was going to pay for what i did and i didn't
believe those were just empty threats.
Mute: I'll be escorting you home.
Me: Why you? No offense but i could never be too careful with
you Smith's.
Mute: ( chuckles) I won't hurt you Amara , Alpha would skin me
alive if i even dare touch a hair in your head.
Me: It's hard to believe I'm out what happened? How did i get
out? Why did Alpha's Mom drop the charges?
Mute: Let's just say , Alpha regain consciousness.
Me: He did? Oh my word that's good news .
I smiled sobbing, i am really happy he is alive and well , what
could i have done if he passed on ? I wiped my tears smiling as
Mute gave me a hug.
Mute: You going to be okay , Everything is going to be okay.
Me : Thank you Mute.
I signed my release papers , i thanked the lawyer for trying to
help me get out and he was for me too . We walked out the
heading to Mute's Jeep , he drove off the police station as i
kept stretching my arms , all i wanted was a cup of hot milky
coffee and a warm bubbly bath then hold my baby boy . I
wanted to cuddle myself against him so much , i missed him.
Mute drove the car towards Alpha's house , i saw unsettled
with him taking me to Alpha's house , he and i broke up , i
broke every ties that connected me to him burned all bridges
the only thing that is going to bring us together was Junior.
Me: Uhm..Mute i think you driving me towards the wrong
direction.
Mute: No I'm not , I'm taking you to Alpha's house.
Me: Why ? I don't want to go there.
Mute: It's not up for discussion Amara so please don't fight me ,
I'm just following orders.
The car parked on the drive way , i walked out the car and he
walked me into the house.
Mute: Home sweet home , I'll order you some food and i think
you should go get a bath these clothes ontop of the bed that
Alpha organized for you .
Me: Thank you.
Mute: You have 2 hours before we leave for the hospital, I'll
come back for you i have business to take care off.
Me: Okay.
He walked out the house , he walked towards the door lock and
pressed on it , he was setting a new security pin or was he
locking me in? He smiled and walked out the house closing the
door, i walked towards the door and hearing the car engine
drive off , i opened up the door to check if he locked me in but
he didn't the door was opened means he trusted me , he was
just setting in a new pin. I walked upstairs and opened up the
water in the bathtub, filling it with soap and salts , i got in and
soaked myself. This felt so good , so heavenly, i just wanted to
seat here for eternity. I soaked myself in for prolonged
minutes. I walked out and lotioning my body and wore the
tracksuit that was on the bed. I sat down on the bed running
my fingers on the sheet. Laughing to myself as i slight memory
replayed itself in my mind, i remembered saying i wanted to
sleep here forever, but who am i kidding? That wasn't possible,
you can't expect to be happy with someone without
complications , because what is love with no pain no suffer. I
dried my hair with a towel and tied it. Mute is probably on his
way here, the bell went off downstairs, maybe that was him but
why was he ringing the bell. I walked down and opened the
door it was the delivery guy.
Guy: hi, your delivery.
Me: Thank you.
I took the pack from him and closed the door , i sat on the
counter eating.
Mute: Are you done ? Let's go.
Me: Yes I'm done.
I packed the pack leaving the leftovers in the fridge. I washed
my hands.
Mute: Are you ready?
Me: Yes we can go now.
We walked out the house to the car , i was nervous about
seeing Alpha , what was i going to say to him? How am i going
to face him .
NANDI
I got a call from the station Superior that Amara has been
released, in seconds i losf my mind , livid and boiling in anger , i
sat down infront of the mirror and looked at myself.
Me: I can see Amara is getting too big for her shoes? She's
challenging me ? She thinks she could take me on ? Shoot
myself and think I'll just forgive and forget? She thinks she has
own , has Alpha dancing in the palm of her hand and she must
probably think i don't know what is going on here.
One of my maids walked in .
Maid: I just came to place the towels Mem.
Me: Thank you.
She place the towels on the bed , i looked at her as she opened
the door.
Me: May i ask something?
Maid: Yes Madam ofcause.
Me: Please seat on the bed.
She sat down as i turned and looked at her.
Maid: What is wrong Mem?
Me: Do you believe in witchcraft, herbs and traditional healers?
Maid: Yes Madam ! i every much do , you know in the
township where i live the are a lot of evil spirits including
witchcraft, Mem tell you what ? If you always have to have holy
water or salt in the township just to pour around your yard so
it doesn't become a dancing stage for witchies or you are in
trouble ! You won't sleep the whole night hearing cats meowing
the whole night and owls hooing. Mem you have to be prayer
strong , knee on the floor but here in your neighbourhood i
don't believe the are witchies and evil spirits, you people here
are rich what will be the need to bewitch one another.
Me: I need you to promise me you won't discuss what I'm
about to tell you with anyone.
Maid : I swear on my grandmothers grave.
Me: I think Amara has bewitched Alpha.
She held her mouth in shock as i nodded my head.
Maid: My god ! Mem why do you think that way about Madam
Amara.
Me: Alpha's behaviour has changed ever since he met that girl ,
i think Amara has gave my son herbs to control him
Maid: Like Love potion?
Me: Yes exactly, He goes above and beyond to make sure
everything goes how Amara wants things to be like , bulldozing
everything in her way ! My son is not in his right senses .
Maid: Madam i know how you feel, a friend of mine was going
through the exact situation , her son met a girl and the girl had
him on his toes , he even was doing everything for her , like
washing clothes, cleaning and cooking while the girl gallavanted
the streets doing lord knows what !
Me: What ! Never, i don't want my son going through such
ordeals !
Maid: Well then Madam you will have to resolve this issue
while it's still new !
Me: Yes I know that but where will i begin tackling this thing
before my son loses his mind trying to please someone like
Amara!
Maid: Rest assured Mem , you got me in your corner, I know a
very good traditional healer at my area , he can help you.
Me: Really ? Thank you so much , if you take me to him , i will
pay you handsomely.
Maid: We could go right now Madam , no room for
procrastination when it comes to saving Sir Alpha , that Amara
girl came in like a sweet person but all along she was a wolf
covered in sheep skin! Shame on her.
Me: You can say that again ! We can't leave right away cause i
have to be busy with some issues, we will go tomorrow to meet
the traditional healer , just so make sure it is safe .
Maid: You have nothing to worry about , When you are with me
nothing will happen to you , i am well-known in the township,
i will make sure he knows you coming so he makes special time
for you Madam .
Me: Thank you then sweetheart, you may resume with you
work.
She got up and fixed the sheet on the bed .
Maid: I will leave now.
Me: Thank you .
She walked out the door closing it , I sighed as this was a sign of
hope to me , now with this Maid's help i could get to the
bottom of this , i will have my son back to me , not the monster
that is occupying itself in my son's body and working for
Amara's selfish benefits.
ALPHA
Amara walked in the room with Mute , she stole a glance of me
and looked down .
Me: ( smiling) Hey now ? How you feeling Mamma?
She just looked at me was she going to answer me already? Or
was i to wait till she is ready to speak to me. I got up from the
bed and approached her.
Mute : I'll just leave you two.
He walked out the room , closing the door. Walking towards
her , i stepped an inch closer to her to feel my breath when i
talk.
Me: Why you not answering me when I'm asking how are you?
Are you mad ( angry) at me? I'm sorry i took my time to come
save you . I got mistakenly shot by the woman i love and that
knocked me off for days.
Amara: I'm sorry about shooting you.
I placed my finger on her lips , swirling my finger inbetween her
lips.
Me: Shush , you don't have to apologize, i forgave you right
after you shot me because i could never stay angry at you even
in my dead bed. You shouldn't be angry yourself not at you or
me or even Drew or my mom cause every minute you stay
angry , you lose sixty seconds of happiness. I wouldn't like to
see you unhappy so apology accepted. So how are you? Did
anyone in jail bully you?
Amara: No , I was okay
I nodded my head , and held my stomach as i coughed. I
walked toward the bed and sat down having a glass of water.
Me: Did anyone ask you question about me while you were in
jail?
Amara: Question like what?
Me: Any question that involve my name besides you shooting
me.
She shook her head .
Me: Are you sure? 100 percent?
Amara: Yes I'm sure , i would've told you if someone did.
Me: I trust you Amara and everything i told you about myself is
not for police ears am i clear?Cause if you ratted your mouth
while in prison , trying to get out with my name , I will lock
every emotions i have for you in a dark part of my being and
make you pay
Amara: ( blinking) I said nothing about your illegal dealings
Alpha Smith. Now where is my child ? I just want my baby.
Me: His with a Nurse , i informed her to go change his nappy ,
so he will be with you shortly.
Amara: You gave a stranger our son?
Me: Before you over react Spike is with the nurse. So have
you seen your boyfriend?
Amara: Can you please not begin your nonsense , i have been in
jail for 2 days ! Don't start with me !
Me: I was just asking , no need to bite my head off.
Amara: So when are you getting discharged?
Me: You want me to come home already?
Amara: Just to make things clear , you and i are still over and
nothing is going to happen between us , I'm sorry for shooting
you and i appreciate you getting me out but that doesn't mean
you back in my good books.
Me: Do i look like i want to get on your good books ?
Sweetheart i got a lot of catching up to do at work and on my
life , all i want you to do is to look after our child under my roof
, where i can keep an eye on you.
Amara: And what is that supposed to mean?
Me: You know exactly what i mean ! Mute will escort you to
your flat, you will pack your clothes and move in my house
permanently.
Amara: You are being unfair Alpha! You can't do that , Detect
my life like this .
Me: I just did.
Amara: No ! I won't let you do this to me , i am not your toy , i
am a full grown woman and you know damn sure i can make
decisions for myself.
Me: Really now? So Drew was a right decision?
Amara: ( shouting) Don't make your stupid demands about
what happened between me and Drew ! I became a target to
Drew's cruelty because of you ! And now you blaming it all on
me !
Me: Fighting me won't help you Amara just make your life easy
and do what i tell you to do !
Amara: You are evil !
Me: Okay enough of your tantrums.
The nurse walked in holding Junior, Amara grabbed JJ of her
hands holding onto him tightly.
Amara: My baby boy , did they hurt you? I missed you so much.
She hugged onto him , kissing him. Mute walked in the room .
Amara : I'll wait outside.
Mute: Okay.
She walked out the door , i could see her as the door was
slightly opened, Mute sat down besides me.
Me: Amara is good to go , You know the drill.
Mute: ( nodding) I do , when she is done bonding with JJ we can
leave to go get her stuff.
Me: She can go with him.
Mute: Are you sure about that? Mean giving her JJ will give her
strength enough to not want to go live with you.
Me: So what are you suggesting?
Mute: Let JJ stay here with you , Amara will come back when JJ
is with you.
Me: It's not like she has a choice , she will come back with or
without JJ.
Mute: Funny how much you trust Amara while she shot you.
Me: She didn't shoot willingly so what is there to not trust?
Mute: She is going to be the death of you.
Me: ( chuckles) As long as she will visit my grave.
Mute: Lord spare my heart from love, i won't cope.
Me: Wait till you meet a person with whom you have an
immediate connection with the moment you meet , a
connection so strong that you drawn to them in a way you
never experience before , you will experience a love so deep ,
strong and complex that you begin to doubt that you have ever
truly loved anyone prior. Then my friend you will know the
woman standing before you is worthy to be fought for.
I looked at Amara and smiled, she was seated at the steel chairs
, looking directly into the room.
Mute: ( smiles) And how do you know this is the one?
Me: Your heart just automatically knows.
Mute: I'll keep that in mind. Maybe when you out of here , we
could go out for beer and talk more about this love thing.
Me: You have a girlfriend don't you?
Mute: Not yet .
He got up and walked towards the door , i just knew he has
someone ,since when has Mute been interested in love affairs.
I took my phone and called my therapist.
Therapist: Mr Smith long time.
Me: Set an appointment for me tomorrow, i will be bringing
someone with me.
Therapist: But i had clients.
Me: Cancel them , I'll pay double.
I switched off my phone and placed it on the bed , Spike walked
in carrying JJ.
Me: She left him?
Spike: Mute said it will be best she did .
Me: Thoughtful of him. Call Dr Jaden for me , i need to get out
of here.
Spike: Already? Are you sure you want out? You have been shot
not just anywhere but in your torso Alpha , that's like a area
where all your vitals organs are in , lungs , heart ect, you
could've died.
Me: Well i didn't as you can see I'm here breathing and alive ,
I'm well , i have to get out of here so i can get my life back on
track.
Spike: Okay fine , your call.
He left the room , this Spike guy is seriously going to get on my
nerves, who is he to question decisions about my life? I don't
need permission from he or anyone for that matter , as for my
mother I'm still going to deal with her , she has a lot of
explaining to do , why would she take such a huge step without
my consent.
LOGAN
I was worried about Alpha laying in ICU , i didn't know if his still
paying for the suite i am living in or was it a pending debt the
Manager will knock in at my door any day from now. I took my
bag and walked downstairs heading to the mall. I needed
snacks and some ice cream to watch a movie , i drove the
trolley around the store and collected the items , i placed a tub
of ice cream and snacks on the till. The cashier scanned the
item's as i took out my purse and took out my credit card.
Cashier: Pin please.
I punched my pin in waiting for the transaction, she looked at
me stretching her head.
Cashier: Insufficient funds.
Me: What! No that can't be !
I took the black card and handed her another card.
Me: Try this one.
She did the paying process again and i typed in my pin again.
Cashier: Insufficient funds Mem.
Me: This can't be maybe these something wrong with your
machines , i have money in my credit card.
Cashier: These nothing wrong with our machines girl , just call
your bank , please move aside so i help other customers please.
The embarrassment as people looked at me , they probably
laughing at me . Saying I'm a beautiful woman without money
in my bank , what was happening with my credit cards ! I called
my Mom.
Thandeka: Sweetheart hello.
Me: Ma ! My credit cards are not working.
Thandeka: What ? How?
Me: ( sobbing) I don't know ! The embarrassment i just
experienced !
Thandeka: Darling please don't cry , it's going to be okay I'll
check up with our banks and see what's going on.
Me: ( crying) They all looked at me as if i was some broke slay
queen! Ma the cashier was even rude to me !
Thandeka: Don't worry honey , mommy will handle this okay ,
don't let this ruin your day please sweetheart. I love you.
Me: I love you too.
She hung up as i wiped my tears with a tissue looking around
the markets parking lot , looked like they were still watching me
, i drove off still sobbing. God that was tortuous , hearing the
cashier say my card declined , how could my card decline while
my family has so much money or maybe Dad blocked my cards,
that i don't even acess to his money, i wish all this was just a
bad dream .

Policeman: That's not on my job prescription.
He walked me out the cells towards the main entrances , the
sunlight that rapidly hit my skin with the fresh air that filled up
my nostrils was blissful , i was happy to be out of that place that
rank only sweat and pee from the dirt toilet that has been there
for years. Mute was standing at reception with my lawyer. I
walked towards them confused.
Mute: Amara.
Me: Hey , what's going on?
Lawyer: The Smith family have dropped the charges against
you.
My jaw dropped , i was surprised , didn't expect this cause
Nandi made it clear i was going to pay for what i did and i didn't
believe those were just empty threats.
Mute: I'll be escorting you home.
Me: Why you? No offense but i could never be too careful with
you Smith's.
Mute: ( chuckles) I won't hurt you Amara , Alpha would skin me
alive if i even dare touch a hair in your head.
Me: It's hard to believe I'm out what happened? How did i get
out? Why did Alpha's Mom drop the charges?
Mute: Let's just say , Alpha regain consciousness.
Me: He did? Oh my word that's good news .
I smiled sobbing, i am really happy he is alive and well , what
could i have done if he passed on ? I wiped my tears smiling as
Mute gave me a hug.
Mute: You going to be okay , Everything is going to be okay.
Me : Thank you Mute.
I signed my release papers , i thanked the lawyer for trying to
help me get out and he was for me too . We walked out the
heading to Mute's Jeep , he drove off the police station as i
kept stretching my arms , all i wanted was a cup of hot milky
coffee and a warm bubbly bath then hold my baby boy . I
wanted to cuddle myself against him so much , i missed him.
Mute drove the car towards Alpha's house , i saw unsettled
with him taking me to Alpha's house , he and i broke up , i
broke every ties that connected me to him burned all bridges
the only thing that is going to bring us together was Junior.
Me: Uhm..Mute i think you driving me towards the wrong
direction.
Mute: No I'm not , I'm taking you to Alpha's house.
Me: Why ? I don't want to go there.
Mute: It's not up for discussion Amara so please don't fight me ,
I'm just following orders.
The car parked on the drive way , i walked out the car and he
walked me into the house.
Mute: Home sweet home , I'll order you some food and i think
you should go get a bath these clothes ontop of the bed that
Alpha organized for you .
Me: Thank you.
Mute: You have 2 hours before we leave for the hospital, I'll
come back for you i have business to take care off.
Me: Okay.
He walked out the house , he walked towards the door lock and
pressed on it , he was setting a new security pin or was he
locking me in? He smiled and walked out the house closing the
door, i walked towards the door and hearing the car engine
drive off , i opened up the door to check if he locked me in but
he didn't the door was opened means he trusted me , he was
just setting in a new pin. I walked upstairs and opened up the
water in the bathtub, filling it with soap and salts , i got in and
soaked myself. This felt so good , so heavenly, i just wanted to
seat here for eternity. I soaked myself in for prolonged
minutes. I walked out and lotioning my body and wore the
tracksuit that was on the bed. I sat down on the bed running
my fingers on the sheet. Laughing to myself as i slight memory
replayed itself in my mind, i remembered saying i wanted to
sleep here forever, but who am i kidding? That wasn't possible,
you can't expect to be happy with someone without
complications , because what is love with no pain no suffer. I
dried my hair with a towel and tied it. Mute is probably on his
way here, the bell went off downstairs, maybe that was him but
why was he ringing the bell. I walked down and opened the
door it was the delivery guy.
Guy: hi, your delivery.
Me: Thank you.
I took the pack from him and closed the door , i sat on the
counter eating.
Mute: Are you done ? Let's go.
Me: Yes I'm done.
I packed the pack leaving the leftovers in the fridge. I washed
my hands.
Mute: Are you ready?
Me: Yes we can go now.
We walked out the house to the car , i was nervous about
seeing Alpha , what was i going to say to him? How am i going
to face him .
NANDI
I got a call from the station Superior that Amara has been
released, in seconds i losf my mind , livid and boiling in anger , i
sat down infront of the mirror and looked at myself.
Me: I can see Amara is getting too big for her shoes? She's
challenging me ? She thinks she could take me on ? Shoot
myself and think I'll just forgive and forget? She thinks she has
own , has Alpha dancing in the palm of her hand and she must
probably think i don't know what is going on here.
One of my maids walked in .
Maid: I just came to place the towels Mem.
Me: Thank you.
She place the towels on the bed , i looked at her as she opened
the door.
Me: May i ask something?
Maid: Yes Madam ofcause.
Me: Please seat on the bed.
She sat down as i turned and looked at her.
Maid: What is wrong Mem?
Me: Do you believe in witchcraft, herbs and traditional healers?
Maid: Yes Madam ! i every much do , you know in the
township where i live the are a lot of evil spirits including
witchcraft, Mem tell you what ? If you always have to have holy
water or salt in the township just to pour around your yard so
it doesn't become a dancing stage for witchies or you are in
trouble ! You won't sleep the whole night hearing cats meowing
the whole night and owls hooing. Mem you have to be prayer
strong , knee on the floor but here in your neighbourhood i
don't believe the are witchies and evil spirits, you people here
are rich what will be the need to bewitch one another.
Me: I need you to promise me you won't discuss what I'm
about to tell you with anyone.
Maid : I swear on my grandmothers grave.
Me: I think Amara has bewitched Alpha.
She held her mouth in shock as i nodded my head.
Maid: My god ! Mem why do you think that way about Madam
Amara.
Me: Alpha's behaviour has changed ever since he met that girl ,
i think Amara has gave my son herbs to control him
Maid: Like Love potion?
Me: Yes exactly, He goes above and beyond to make sure
everything goes how Amara wants things to be like , bulldozing
everything in her way ! My son is not in his right senses .
Maid: Madam i know how you feel, a friend of mine was going
through the exact situation , her son met a girl and the girl had
him on his toes , he even was doing everything for her , like
washing clothes, cleaning and cooking while the girl gallavanted
the streets doing lord knows what !
Me: What ! Never, i don't want my son going through such
ordeals !
Maid: Well then Madam you will have to resolve this issue
while it's still new !
Me: Yes I know that but where will i begin tackling this thing
before my son loses his mind trying to please someone like
Amara!
Maid: Rest assured Mem , you got me in your corner, I know a
very good traditional healer at my area , he can help you.
Me: Really ? Thank you so much , if you take me to him , i will
pay you handsomely.
Maid: We could go right now Madam , no room for
procrastination when it comes to saving Sir Alpha , that Amara
girl came in like a sweet person but all along she was a wolf
covered in sheep skin! Shame on her.
Me: You can say that again ! We can't leave right away cause i
have to be busy with some issues, we will go tomorrow to meet
the traditional healer , just so make sure it is safe .
Maid: You have nothing to worry about , When you are with me
nothing will happen to you , i am well-known in the township,
i will make sure he knows you coming so he makes special time
for you Madam .
Me: Thank you then sweetheart, you may resume with you
work.
She got up and fixed the sheet on the bed .
Maid: I will leave now.
Me: Thank you .
She walked out the door closing it , I sighed as this was a sign of
hope to me , now with this Maid's help i could get to the
bottom of this , i will have my son back to me , not the monster
that is occupying itself in my son's body and working for
Amara's selfish benefits.
ALPHA
Amara walked in the room with Mute , she stole a glance of me
and looked down .
Me: ( smiling) Hey now ? How you feeling Mamma?
She just looked at me was she going to answer me already? Or
was i to wait till she is ready to speak to me. I got up from the
bed and approached her.
Mute : I'll just leave you two.
He walked out the room , closing the door. Walking towards
her , i stepped an inch closer to her to feel my breath when i
talk.
Me: Why you not answering me when I'm asking how are you?
Are you mad ( angry) at me? I'm sorry i took my time to come
save you . I got mistakenly shot by the woman i love and that
knocked me off for days.
Amara: I'm sorry about shooting you.
I placed my finger on her lips , swirling my finger inbetween her
lips.
Me: Shush , you don't have to apologize, i forgave you right
after you shot me because i could never stay angry at you even
in my dead bed. You shouldn't be angry yourself not at you or
me or even Drew or my mom cause every minute you stay
angry , you lose sixty seconds of happiness. I wouldn't like to
see you unhappy so apology accepted. So how are you? Did
anyone in jail bully you?
Amara: No , I was okay
I nodded my head , and held my stomach as i coughed. I
walked toward the bed and sat down having a glass of water.
Me: Did anyone ask you question about me while you were in
jail?
Amara: Question like what?
Me: Any question that involve my name besides you shooting
me.
She shook her head .
Me: Are you sure? 100 percent?
Amara: Yes I'm sure , i would've told you if someone did.
Me: I trust you Amara and everything i told you about myself is
not for police ears am i clear?Cause if you ratted your mouth
while in prison , trying to get out with my name , I will lock
every emotions i have for you in a dark part of my being and
make you pay
Amara: ( blinking) I said nothing about your illegal dealings
Alpha Smith. Now where is my child ? I just want my baby.
Me: His with a Nurse , i informed her to go change his nappy ,
so he will be with you shortly.
Amara: You gave a stranger our son?
Me: Before you over react Spike is with the nurse. So have
you seen your boyfriend?
Amara: Can you please not begin your nonsense , i have been in
jail for 2 days ! Don't start with me !
Me: I was just asking , no need to bite my head off.
Amara: So when are you getting discharged?
Me: You want me to come home already?
Amara: Just to make things clear , you and i are still over and
nothing is going to happen between us , I'm sorry for shooting
you and i appreciate you getting me out but that doesn't mean
you back in my good books.
Me: Do i look like i want to get on your good books ?
Sweetheart i got a lot of catching up to do at work and on my
life , all i want you to do is to look after our child under my roof
, where i can keep an eye on you.
Amara: And what is that supposed to mean?
Me: You know exactly what i mean ! Mute will escort you to
your flat, you will pack your clothes and move in my house
permanently.
Amara: You are being unfair Alpha! You can't do that , Detect
my life like this .
Me: I just did.
Amara: No ! I won't let you do this to me , i am not your toy , i
am a full grown woman and you know damn sure i can make
decisions for myself.
Me: Really now? So Drew was a right decision?
Amara: ( shouting) Don't make your stupid demands about
what happened between me and Drew ! I became a target to
Drew's cruelty because of you ! And now you blaming it all on
me !
Me: Fighting me won't help you Amara just make your life easy
and do what i tell you to do !
Amara: You are evil !
Me: Okay enough of your tantrums.
The nurse walked in holding Junior, Amara grabbed JJ of her
hands holding onto him tightly.
Amara: My baby boy , did they hurt you? I missed you so much.
She hugged onto him , kissing him. Mute walked in the room .
Amara : I'll wait outside.
Mute: Okay.
She walked out the door , i could see her as the door was
slightly opened, Mute sat down besides me.
Me: Amara is good to go , You know the drill.
Mute: ( nodding) I do , when she is done bonding with JJ we can
leave to go get her stuff.
Me: She can go with him.
Mute: Are you sure about that? Mean giving her JJ will give her
strength enough to not want to go live with you.
Me: So what are you suggesting?
Mute: Let JJ stay here with you , Amara will come back when JJ
is with you.
Me: It's not like she has a choice , she will come back with or
without JJ.
Mute: Funny how much you trust Amara while she shot you.
Me: She didn't shoot willingly so what is there to not trust?
Mute: She is going to be the death of you.
Me: ( chuckles) As long as she will visit my grave.
Mute: Lord spare my heart from love, i won't cope.
Me: Wait till you meet a person with whom you have an
immediate connection with the moment you meet , a
connection so strong that you drawn to them in a way you
never experience before , you will experience a love so deep ,
strong and complex that you begin to doubt that you have ever
truly loved anyone prior. Then my friend you will know the
woman standing before you is worthy to be fought for.
I looked at Amara and smiled, she was seated at the steel chairs
, looking directly into the room.
Mute: ( smiles) And how do you know this is the one?
Me: Your heart just automatically knows.
Mute: I'll keep that in mind. Maybe when you out of here , we
could go out for beer and talk more about this love thing.
Me: You have a girlfriend don't you?
Mute: Not yet .
He got up and walked towards the door , i just knew he has
someone ,since when has Mute been interested in love affairs.
I took my phone and called my therapist.
Therapist: Mr Smith long time.
Me: Set an appointment for me tomorrow, i will be bringing
someone with me.
Therapist: But i had clients.
Me: Cancel them , I'll pay double.
I switched off my phone and placed it on the bed , Spike walked
in carrying JJ.
Me: She left him?
Spike: Mute said it will be best she did .
Me: Thoughtful of him. Call Dr Jaden for me , i need to get out
of here.
Spike: Already? Are you sure you want out? You have been shot
not just anywhere but in your torso Alpha , that's like a area
where all your vitals organs are in , lungs , heart ect, you
could've died.
Me: Well i didn't as you can see I'm here breathing and alive ,
I'm well , i have to get out of here so i can get my life back on
track.
Spike: Okay fine , your call.
He left the room , this Spike guy is seriously going to get on my
nerves, who is he to question decisions about my life? I don't
need permission from he or anyone for that matter , as for my
mother I'm still going to deal with her , she has a lot of
explaining to do , why would she take such a huge step without
my consent.
LOGAN
I was worried about Alpha laying in ICU , i didn't know if his still
paying for the suite i am living in or was it a pending debt the
Manager will knock in at my door any day from now. I took my
bag and walked downstairs heading to the mall. I needed
snacks and some ice cream to watch a movie , i drove the
trolley around the store and collected the items , i placed a tub
of ice cream and snacks on the till. The cashier scanned the
item's as i took out my purse and took out my credit card.
Cashier: Pin please.
I punched my pin in waiting for the transaction, she looked at
me stretching her head.
Cashier: Insufficient funds.
Me: What! No that can't be !
I took the black card and handed her another card.
Me: Try this one.
She did the paying process again and i typed in my pin again.
Cashier: Insufficient funds Mem.
Me: This can't be maybe these something wrong with your
machines , i have money in my credit card.
Cashier: These nothing wrong with our machines girl , just call
your bank , please move aside so i help other customers please.
The embarrassment as people looked at me , they probably
laughing at me . Saying I'm a beautiful woman without money
in my bank , what was happening with my credit cards ! I called
my Mom.
Thandeka: Sweetheart hello.
Me: Ma ! My credit cards are not working.
Thandeka: What ? How?
Me: ( sobbing) I don't know ! The embarrassment i just
experienced !
Thandeka: Darling please don't cry , it's going to be okay I'll
check up with our banks and see what's going on.
Me: ( crying) They all looked at me as if i was some broke slay
queen! Ma the cashier was even rude to me !
Thandeka: Don't worry honey , mommy will handle this okay ,
don't let this ruin your day please sweetheart. I love you.
Me: I love you too.
She hung up as i wiped my tears with a tissue looking around
the markets parking lot , looked like they were still watching me
, i drove off still sobbing. God that was tortuous , hearing the
cashier say my card declined , how could my card decline while
my family has so much money or maybe Dad blocked my cards,
that i don't even acess to his money, i wish all this was just a
bad dream .
68
ABBYGAIL
I made myself a sandwich and some juice since our credit cards
haven't been working the whole day . Ma left to see Dad hours
ago saying she was going to confront him about our cards
declining thank god , i didn't embarrass myself like Miss fancy
pants , I sat down and switch on my phone paging through
social media. The story about the burnt girl in the Smith's house
in South hills was the top trending story , i read through posts
as people said the Smith's used the girl as sacrifice for money .
Knowing Mute i don't really think he is a devil worshipper let
alone work for the devil mean what kind of nonsense was that .
People just like believing in superstition that are not even true.
I tapped on my call log and called Drew , it's been a day since i
haven't seen him .
Drew: Abby
Me: Hey , how are you feeling?
Drew: Crippled.
Me: Come on Drew don't be like that please.
Drew: Like what? I am crippled infact I'm handicap.
Me: You are not cripple , You will get better i believe so but for
now you have to stay strong since we having financial
problems.
Drew: financial problems? Who is having financial problems.
Me: Us as a whole , i don't know about
you but as for us , we are going through a tough time , We are
bankrupt Drew non of our credit card have money.
Drew: ( confused) How ?! How can you be bankrupt, does dad
know about this?
Me: I think he knows now that Mom went to speak with him , i
just hope he fixes this soon cause i have to pay for my fees and
other personal things , especially rent or i will be homeless.
Drew : You will move back home.
Me: And what about mom?
Drew: She will see what to do , either beg dad of move in with a
friend.
Me: No i can't let my mom suffer like that, i will have to make a
plan.
Drew: Tell me how much you want and i will transfer it.
Me: Really? You would be a life saver.
Drew: Anything for my sister and tell Logan to transfer her bank
details too , i will transfer a share to her too , just to keep her
afloat.
Me: I will do so brother thank you a millon times , i honestly
don't know how to thank you cause i know you sending us your
hard earned money.
Drew: Listen i had some pain killers and sleeping pills so I'm
quite tired , today was a long session.
Me: You already on treatment?
Drew: Yes i am and it doesn't feel like treatment it's more like
torture and reliving the pain .
Me: You are stronger than that and i know you will be back on
your feet in no time.
Drew: Thank you, bye.
Me: Bye , i love you.
He hung up before even saying he loved me back . I understand
it's probably the pills he had . The door slid open as i looked at
the dark sky with a bed of crystal milky way galaxy stars , Ma
walked in , she could barely stand on her feet . I got up and
helped her inside as she rank of alcohol, she was smelling bad ,
i was puking besides her.
Thandeka: My baby , I'm so sorry you have to see me like this.
Me: No Ma it's okay , i understand when someone is frustrated
and in pain they do resort to drinking.
I walked her in and sat her on the couch.
Thandeka: I had such a great time , just drinking my sorrows
away.
Me: ( fakes a smile) I can see that.
I looked at her just japping her with my eye , i was so
embarrassed to even call her Mom , what kind of a mother was
she ? She walked out here saying she is going to confront Dad
and now she walks in drunk could barely walk and talk. I was
disappointed in her . She laid down on the couch covering her
legs with her shirt.
Thandeka: I just want to sleep , just a little sleep so i wake up
fine.
Me: Ma go sleep in the room
She closed her eyes and began snoring like a bear. I covered her
with the blanket , collecting my books and cellphone , looked
like i am going to sleep on my bed tonight, not that i am
complaining , i love my bed so much but with Ma living here
with me it's been really hard to actually sleep comfortable. I
was sleeping on the couch while she used the bedroom.
JADEN
I walked inside the house and placed my keys on the table.
Grace : Your food is in the warmer.
Me: Did you know Amara is out of jail?
Grace: Yes i do , the lawyer told me and she called me for a
short while letting me know she was out and i don't nee to
worry now.
Me: Oh i see and did she tell you she is now working on things
with Alpha?
Grace: No she didn't and i don't see the need to know , that's
her business.
Me: You are her grandmother. You should be advising her not
to get back with Alpha , why can't she see Alpha has brought
her nothing but misery and pain? Why can't she see, she and
Alpha are not going to work , they never did , they won't!
Grace: Why are you so bothered about their affairs? Either they
want to give it another try or not that non of your business son
, let me go lay down , i am very tired.
She walked towards her room and closed the door , i couldn't
believe Ma just left me hanging , she was supposed to be in my
corner help me save Amara from getting another heartbreak
yet again, i think i will have to go to Amara's flat and speak to
her myself , she might be enlightened to this situation more
than Alpha mean what was the use of running back and forth to
a man that continuously hurts and degrades you ? This was just
madness she isn't going to be any different from the ladies that
are abused in their relationships and still pray with blue black
faces that their partner changes.
AMARA
I laid Junior to sleep after feeding and bathing him , he has
been sleeping the whole day and i actually liked him much
better asleep , it meant he was growing and i couldn't wait for
him to grow up and be up and about running around in the
house and calling me mommy, i placed my arm on the crib and
laid my chin on my arm brushing his chubby cheeks. As he is
growing he was beginning to age into Alpha , Mam'Grace was
right this boy is really going to take after his father the most all i
will have left in him is my eyes.
Alpha: Dinner is ready.
I got up and looked at him folding my arms.
Me: You cooked?
Alpha: Something like that.
Me: Why do i fail to believe that?
Alpha: That's because you don't trust me. Come let's go have
dinner.
He held my hand as we walked downstairs, really he did cook ,
the table was laid out with two plates and glasses of wine next
to the cutlery. He pulled the chair for me as i sat down laying
the napkin on my thighs. I looked at him amazed , what was
wrong with him? He opened up the plate that was covering the
food . I looked at the plate that had a slice of steak and a salad
besides it , we were actually having a slice of steak and a salad !
that is dinner . I looked at the plate and blinked.
Me: Uhmm..this looks good.
Alpha: I know right, let me pour you some Juice since you
breastfeeding I'll have the wine.
He gulped on my glass and walked into the kitchen, i stared at
the plate picking up a fork , he placed the glass of Juice besides
me and walked over to his seat. I poked the meat slicing with
the knife when blood just flooded the bottom of the plate. I
swallowed hard , what kind of dinner is this , i figured he liked
his steak half cooked and raw but i wasn't that kind of a person
, i like my steak overcooked with no blood in it. I drank from the
juice glass and looked at him.
Me: Thank you for dinner but i think i will eat tomorrow.
Alpha: Why is the food ugly? I prepared it specially for you
please eat.
I picked up a piece of meat and stuck it in my mouth quickly
chewing, could taste the salt and meat juices in my mouth and
it was actually good.
Alpha: And?
Me: It's good.
Alpha : See i told you, i might not know how to cook but i make
the best steak .
I faked a smile and drank from my glass . We continued eating
just out plates communicating while we just stole glances of
each other and didn't say a word. He frowned staring at me
holding his whisky glass. I looked at him and he smiled sipping
from his glass.
Alpha: So tell me Miss McKenzie , why are you staring at me ?
Do i look that lovely that you can't take your eyes off me?
I looked at him as he bluntly uttered the truth , he placed his
elbow on the chair and laid back looking at me smiling. He was
really seating and looking lovely, a handsome caramel man ,
with a big up chest peeking out the shirt with medium small
pink lips and horse capped teeth as he flashed his billion dollar
smile , he has such a beautiful smile no wonder he got to cheat
with whomever he wanted , i just frowned at him as the
cheating term migrated into my mind. Damn bloodly cheater !
That was exactly what he is a cheater and i knew what they say
, once a cheater always a cheater. I glanced at him as he sat up
straighter on the chair , his plams running up and down the
leather arm rest of the chair, he picked up his phone and patted
on it staring at the screen , i had to break the awkward silence
between us or better yet just go to bed and sleep.
Me: Before you came with your drama ending up getting
yourself shot, i was thinking of getting a job to provide for
myself and Junior.
Alpha : ( nodding his head still looking at his screen) Mhhh.
Me: Mhh? is that all you going to say? Mhhh?
Alpha: Do whatever you want Amara, you are not a prisoner.
I slightly breather of his unexpected answer somehow freed me
, i thought he is going to argue with me and strictly tell me i
wasn't going to get any job while he has money . I was actually
surprised about his response.
Me: Okay then , now that is out of the way , i will go to bed.
Alpha: On one condition.
Me: I knew you wouldn't just allow me be without opposing or
giving me the terms and conditions, what are they Alpha? I am
not allowed to be in a room with a man? I'm not allowed to
have a boss that is a man? What are t's and c's?
Alpha: It's a morning till 6 pm job , no after work hours or
anything! That has to do with you working after hours.
Me: Why are you so controlling!
Alpha: I'm looking out for you here !
Me: Stop lying! You scared history will repeat itself!
Alpha : What are you talking about?
Me: You scared what happened between me and you might
happen again, we had our after hours remember?
Alpha: Stop being pathetic , i didn't even think of that , know
what fine , do whatever that makes you happy, even if you
come home in the morning i seriously don't care !
I cleared the table and made myself a cup of coffee dipping
rusks in the mug . He was on his laptop busy with work as
always , he just got himself discharged from work to just weigh
his body with work , I washed the cup after filling my stomach
with some coffee because dinner just didn't do the trick. He
clinched on his hand , forming a fist and relaxing his hand , his
arm was tired , in a caring manner i walked to him and placed
my hands on his shoulder for to give him a massage, he rose
from the chair and took his laptop heading upstairs.
Me: Alpha are you being seriously?
Ignoring me he faded up the stairs, i couldn't believe this man
that just avoided me was the one that was pleading we give us
a try again. His so inconsistency no wonder he cheats and
make it looks like he had no choice but to do it . Alpha is a two
faced hypocrite. I walked up to my room and opening up the
sheets and laid down , the bed was so big and so cold , i swirled
into a ball to keep myself warm placing my hands inbetween
my thighs.
[ THE FOLLOWING MORNING]
THABO
Cohen walked in after disappearing from the house and
leaving me all alone . I looked at him as he walked in.
Cohen: Boss morning.
Me: Long time.
Cohen: I'm sorry for not being present for a day , i was out
combing the streets and asking my contacts for a buyer .
Me: And ? Did you find someone?
Cohen : I found a gang but they only have R500k .
Me: Are you fucking kidding me ? What the hell am i going to
do with those peanuts!
Cohen: I told them , the guns cost double that money and that
is how high they were prepared to pay.
Me: God damnit Cohen ! I trusted you with this !
Cohen : I tried everywhere sir , but no one wants to buy these
guns , they too expensive, we dealing with Locals here boss we
can't sell them guns for + Millions and expect them to actually
have the money, money is tight.
Me: I wonder who the hell stole my German contact , they
were my hope , they only people that actually paid me well !
Where are the guns now?
Cohen: They in my car.
Me: Go get them, we need to keep the guns safe till we find
buyers.
Cohen: Have you eaten and drank your pills sir?
Me : I'm not interested in food
Cohen: You have to take care of your health Sir , we can't afford
to lose you.
Me: Dying would be a privilege to me right now.
Cohen: Don't speak like that sir you won't die ! I will go and
keep looking i know i will find something for now just stay
strong. I will make you a sandwich or something.
Me: Okay boy thank you when you done please go check Drew
for me.
Cohen: i will do that.
ALPHA
I prepared to go to the office today , i was really looking
forward to go to work and get the business up and running that
also includes the money laundering business. I fixed my shirt
collar wearing my black suit blazer , adding my sliver cufflinks. I
collected my files from the bed and my laptop bag , walking
downstairs , Amara was setting the table carrying Junior, i
looked at her as she placed the jar of orange juice on the table.
Amara : ( smiling) Morning.
Me: Morning
Amara : I made breakfast , the is eggs , beacon , sandwiches
and omelet and i made you coffee , just the way you like it.
She held the cup of coffee , handing it to me , i looked at her as
she smiled.
Me: I'm not hungry, I'm going to work , you will call me for any
emergencies.
I leaned and kissed JJ's forehead
Me: Daddy is off to work, be a good boy okay , i love you.
Looking at Amara , she glanced at me like she was expecting a
goodbye kiss to i just walked towards the door swinging my car
keys on in my finger.
Amara : What about breakfast? I made all this food for us .
Me: Throw it out , go donate it to the homeless , i don't
know.
I walked out the house and my phone rang , it is Mom , wonder
what does she want now. I got in the car and drove off the yard
plugging my ear pods.
Me: Yes.
Nandi: Alpha , hi , how are you?.
Me: Talk to me , what is bothering you?
Nandi: Today at 8 the will be a press conference here at the
house regarding the trending news about the burnt body in our
house in South hills including Amara's drama of shooting you , i
want you to come.
Me: Okay no problem , i will be there.
Nandi: Okay baby have a good day okay and please take it easy
on your healthy.
Me: Okay i will bye.
I hung up speeding my car towards my building as i parked
before the door , the security gaurds were happy to see me ,
their faces brightened up, i handed my keys to one.
Me: You know what to do.
Security gaurd: Welcome back sir.
Me: Thank you.
I walked into the lift paging my phone , the elevator was really
taking it's precious time. The minute the door opened up and i
set my eyes on the reception table , i knew my day was going to
go back to normal , i felt like i was supposed to be here , my
company felt , home , i am home. I walked out as my stuff came
to me.
employee: Alpha is here , welcome back big boss.
They all clapped their hands and smiled at me , i just faked a
smile.
Me: Thank you guys this is so unexpected of you but i really
appreciate it.
employee: And i hope you won't be ditching us anytime soon
again, we were so scared almost thought we will have to look
for other jobs .
employee 2 : I was praying for your recovery but then knowing
you i just knew you will bounce back.
Me: Lucky for you , i didn't die .
They all laughed, it was actually heartfelt that theu cared about
me , Amazing knowing there were actually people that i made a
huge impact in their lives. I was a little unhappy this morning, i
am upset with Amara what she said last night to me , she
actually hurt me but i just didn't have the guts to actually
address her cause that might make me seem jealous , not that
am not but knowing she's looking for a job , i just can't stomach
having her being with a man and that man ain't me , it really
gets to me, makes me rage in anger at the same time I'm happy
she is considering being independent , it just makes her even
more remarkably sexy.
Me : You guys can go back to making me rich.
The crowd dispersed as each walked to their work station, Ipek
walked with me into my office.
Ipek: Welcome back.
Me: It's good to be back.
I unbuttoned by blazer and sat down , opening up my laptop.
Ipek: Do you want anything? Coffee? Water?
Me: Coffee .
Ipek: Coffee coming right up.
She walked out the room closing the door. I took my phone out
and called Mute.
Me: I need you to organize a guy for me that's going to follow
Amara.
Mute: You mean a spy.
Me: More like a guardian angel.
Mute: ( laughs) Okay , i will organize one for her.
Me: He must be discrete make sure she doesn't feel like she is
followed , i want to know her every move , okay.
Mute: I will inform him.
Me: Thank you bye.
I had to do it , i had to organize protection for her , i know my
mom and she is much dangerous than my father. As she has
begun the Amara hate movement she won't stop till Amara is
out of my life , she will do anything possible to make sure
Amara doesn't get away with shooting me , even if that means
killing her .
NANDI
I collected a Gucci doek from my drawer and took my bag , the
maid was waiting for me outside the house . I walked towards
the door and Steve stopped me.
Steve: And where are you off too dressed like that?
Me: Like what?
I looked down at my black long sleeved dress with a neck coller.
Steve : You are up to no good.
Me: Is it a crime to wear a black dress?
Steve: No it's not darling.
Me: Then i need to go out shopping i have so much shopping to
do especially with the press conference.
Steve: Really? Then let me not kill your shopping spirit .
He kissed my cheek as i faked a smile dying in suspense that he
gets off my case so i can leave.
Me: I will be back in no time.
Steve: Okay honey.
I walked out and got into my car , the maid got into the
passages seat , i will be driving myself today, i don't want no
one but me and the maid to know about this. I drove towards
the township with her showing me the way we made it to your
destination, i looked around the place , the houses here were
packed together with children playing on the streets , i took out
my glass and wore them wearing the doek over my head. We
walked out as i held my bag closer to me and locked my car ,
she opened the gate for me and we walked to the back of the
main house , the was a hut at the back with dead animal skin
hanged on both sides of the door , i looked at her .
Me: Are you sure this place is safe?
Maid: Yes Madam it's safe i swear. Let's get in Gogo (
traditional healer) is waiting for us. I sighed and she took off her
shoes , i did the same taking my pumps off. We walked inside
the hut and sat down on the mat , the man inside was wearing
his traditional healer gear , he looked scary to me , i sat down
browsing the inside of the hurt , he burned insence's and
looked at me.
Healer : You are here in behalf of your son?
Me: Yes , yes sir.
Maid: Gogo Madam his not Sir.
Me: Sorry Gogo.
Healer : Blow in here.
He handed a sack to me to blow in , i blew in the sack as he
shaked it , speaking , looking at his mouth looked like he was
summoning spirits. He empty the sack on the mat and made
sounds , i looked at him as he moaned like he was in pain ,
moving his body , he flinched holding on his back breathing
heavily. I whispered in the maids ear.
Me: ( whispering) What is going on now?
Maid: His talking to the ancestors Madam , they are showing
him , revealing your problems , just relax.
I looked at him as he pointed at a bone with his stick. He looked
at me with his eye filled with tears , sobbing.
Healer: Your hasn't been manipulated or anything, you son is in
his right senses .
Me: But Gogo he has been acting strange.
He shook his head and closed his eyes flinching.
Healer: No ! You shouldn't be worried about your son !
I looked at the maid confused .
Healer : You should be worried about the man in your life .
Warn him about what he is about to do , he will be bring war
into your household ! And I'm afraid you won't be able to
conquer!
Me: What is he talking about?
Maid: I don't know Madam.
Healer: Go home and tell your husband to let the family have
the body ! Or he won't be at peace , tell him to unbury the
buried and let them be rightfully buried so the family finds
peace and closure .
I looked at him as he picked up his bones inserting them into
the sack , this guy is really legit, i know my husband has blood
in his hand i just didn't understand, what body was he allowed
to leave for a family , what was he talking about when he
speaks of the buried?
Me: Uhm .. about the mother of my grand child, can't you give
me a potion so my son doesn't love her again or even better
give me a potion to give to Amara so she hates my son and
never want to be with him , Gogo i don't want that girl next
to my son.
Healer : ( chuckles) I won't give you anything.
Me: Why not ? I'm going to pay? I have money.
I said digging in my purse taking out my wallet.
Healer: ( laughs and shakes his head) It's not about the money
Mem.
Me: Then what it is about? You don't understand Gogo that
relationship is just frustrating.
Healer: I understand clearly and i am advising to not touch that
girl, she is spiritually protected by her mother don't even think
about it unless you want to go mad or have a death wish , no
spell cast on her will affect her.
I just got even more frustrated when he informed me about
Amara being spiritually gaurded , he took a jar of herbs and
folded it in a paper.
Healer : You can walk out and never look back , remember what
i said about your husband and when he is done, he will boil
these herbs and sprink them around the yard that chases away
evil spirits.
Me: Thank you.
I paid for the herbs and we walked out , i wore my shoes and
speeded out the yard to my car. She got in next to me as i
slammed my palms on the steering wheel screaming.
Me : Damn you Amara ! This was just a waste of my time and
petrol! All the way from the town to a dusty township just to be
told my enemy is untouchable! Really ? Arrg !
Maid: I'm sorry Madam but atleast you can warn Sir to stop
turning your house into a grave yard.
I looked at her , the nerve to spite those words in my presences
, i wanted to slap the living hell out of her but i didn't have the
strength for all that , i felt like tossing myself on my bed and
just cry .
Me: Whatever that was said in that hut stays in that hut am i
clear ?
Maid: Yes Mem.
Me: If i hear you have been running your mouth about my
family issues? I swear to god i will kill you.
Her eyes popped out in fear as she nodded her head.
Me: Good let's go back , the is a lot of work to be done at the
house.
I drove the car off , heading towards town with my mind still
thinking about what the healer said . Maybe Steve had a hand
in that woman's body found in the house in South Hill's , i wil
have to approach him with these news in a more smart way so
he doesn't manipulate me or use my words against me , i need
to get answer's as for Amara i will think of a way , for now let
her think she has won.
AMARA
I sat down on the couch watching a movie as Junior sucked on
my nipple , I have never been so bored , the house was so quiet
and it felt even more bigger than it already is . A notification
beeped on my phone i checked and it was a message from
Jaden , he was asking where i was and i replied i was in Alpha's
house , he let me know he was coming over , he wanted to
discuss something with me. As soon as i got off the phone with
him , i called My grandMa to check if she was okay , i just got
instantly worried and thought maybe something happened to
her , she is the only thing that bonded me and Jaden and we
would seriously talk about , now that i knew she is okay , i kept
wondering to myself why would Jaden have something to talk
to me about? What was wrong? I picked Junior up and he let
out a burp , he is gettting bigger and growing each and every
day , even hard to carry for a long period of time . I was even
scared he might get be over weight. Maybe he will grow out of
the chubby cheeks and body most babies do. The door bell
went off , i got up and went to the opened it.
Security: These a guy at the gate said his name is Jaden .
Me: Let him in please.
Security: Thank you for breakfast Mem it was delicious.
Me: It's only a pleasure.
He smiled and walked away , Jaden drove in and got out his car
, I walked inside the house and he looked around.
Jaden: Hey , oh wow this is a nice house.
Me: Thank you please take a seat.
Jaden: Thank you .
Me : Juice? Coffee.
Jaden: No thank you seat down please.
I sat down on the mat and place Junior down , handing him his
toys.
Me: You wanted to discuss something with me?
Jaden : Yes i did .
Me: Is it about Alpha's health? Is something wrong with him?
Jaden : No , Alpha is completely fine , it's not about his health
it's about your relationship.
Me: My relationship?
Jaden: Yes.
Me: With Alpha?
Jaden: Yes , i don't want to seem like I'm getting into relations
that don't concern me .
Me: You actually are , i don't get why you will come all the
way here to discuss my relationship with Alpha? Mean you
must be really concerned about me and Alpha.
Jaden: If you would just let me explain you will understand my
visit.
Me: Please go ahead , I'm all ears ( I'm listening) .
Jaden: Amara your relationship with Alpha is completely toxic ,
it's not good for you or Junior. Staying here with him is not
good for you , for how many months, years will you keep
getting yourself hurt and broken down in the hands of this
man?
I looked at him and laughed, i just couldn't help but just laugh ,
he came all this way to talk about how Alpha's hurts me? Was
he okay? I think he must've bumped his head.
Me: Don't mind me laughing please, just that I'm surprised,
listen Jaden , i appreciate you worrying about me but please
don't bother your spirt like this , Alpha and i are still over , we
not dating or even sleeping together , we sleep in separate
rooms .
Jaden: Till when? Till he mistakenly kisses you?
I faked out a laugh feeling guilty of the kiss i had with him in the
room.
Me: No , that's not going to happen.
He sneaked up to me on the mat and sat besides me holding
my hands.
Jaden: How sure are you , you are not going to sneak into
Alpha's arms again?
Me: Jaden i think you are paranoid, i don't know where the
sudden drive to convince me to stay away from Alpha came
from but i think you should stop , it's not giving you a good
look.
Jaden: Don't take this in a wrong way , I'm just a close friend
looking out for a heart felt friend.
Me: Oh okay , so are you sure you don't want me to offer you
anything?
Jaden: No I'm good , i think i will go back to duty .
Me: Okay , let me see you out.
He kissed Junior's cheeks as i walked him to the door , we stood
at the door awkwardly smiling at each other. He stretched
out his arms and i hugged him , he wrapped his arms around
my waist and lifted me up. I let my arms loose around him.
Jaden: I will go then.
Me: Bye .
He walked towards his car and waved , i waved back and got
into the house , that was a weird talk to be honest since when
has Jaden had an interest in my love life. Anyways i walked into
the lounge and sat down with my son as i browsed on the
internet for Accountant open jobs to apply in . I paged through
looking for a suitable job that actually met my qualifications.
MUTE
I took Abbygail out for lunch after her classes in a cafe near the
University, we sat down and she ordered coffee with chocolate
muffins, i just had coffee.
Me: So how was your classes?
Abby: Tiring and very long.
Me: I see , atleast you chasing your dream.
Abby: Yes i am and you? Did you have a dream?
Me: ( chuckles) Dreams are for you and people that dream , i
have non.
Abby: What ? Are you serious? Everyone has dreams , even
people like you have dreams just that you fail to dream.
Me: If that's how you want to see it then fine , i won't be
arguing with you.
Abby: I heard about the press conference at the Smith's
tonight.
Me: Oh you did?
Abby: Yes , it's all over social media , we just can't wait to
stream it and hear the tea on what actually happened, I'm sure
you will be all suited up and looking handsome.
My phone rang , i lifted up my finger as a sign to her to shut up.
Me: Pop's.
Steve: Where are you ? I need you to do a job for me .
Me: I'm listening?
Steve: Not over the phone come over at the house we will
discuss it in person.
Me: I'll be there in half an hour.
Steve: Okay son i will be waiting.
I hung up and got up from the table taking my wallet out from
my back pocket.
Abby: You need to go?
Me: Yes , i have work to do.
Abby: That's a shame i hoped we would talk .
Me: We will talk when i get the chance to sweetheart.
Abby: I hope so and then maybe you won't be busy or get any
calls.
I took out money from my wallet and covered the bill with a tip
for the waiter. I walked over to Abby and kneeled before her ,
she reached down to my lips and kissed me holding onto my
cheeks.
Me: I have to go , I'll check on you later on.
Abby: How about , you find me in your apartment tonight.
I looked at her and smirked.
Me: I'll be looking forward to that.
Abby: Me too, don't keep me up.
Me: I won't naughty girl.
I got up and walked towards the door , she kissed her palm and
blew a kiss at me , i walked out smiling , i don't know but my
body suddenly warmed up , i got into my jeep and drove
home just smiling throughout my trip , what the hell is going on
with me? My tummy just twisting and turning , i think i am
happy or am i inlove?

STEVE
Nandi came home and began organizing the house for the press
conference, it looked like she was organizing more for a event
than a press conference, the were food platters, wine , whisky
vodka it was a beautiful scenery . She placed the snacks on the
tables next , the were chairs lined across the room. She was
using our dining area as the venue of the press conference . Felt
some way with having reporters in our home but whatever
Nandi wants she gets and if she wants the press conference to
be held in her home then so be it.
Me: honey this is beautiful, you really are doing a great job.
Nandi : ( coldly) thank you.
I looked at her as she placed the snacks platters on the table,
she wasn't herself since she got home .
Me: darling is there something wrong?
Nandi: You tell me Steve?
Me: Nandi what is going on?
She held my hand and we walked to the bedroom, she closed
the door and looked at me.
Nandi: Who did you kill and bury in our yard?
The question sinked deep in my throat choking me , i faked a
laugh and walked towards the window laughing.
Me: Honey , where is all this coming from?
Nandi : Don't honey me ! For once in your life just tell me the
truth without manipulating it or sugar coating it so it looks good
in my eyes , please just tell me !
Me: Who told you about the body buried in our yard ? Was it
Mute?
Nandi: ( scoffs) So there is a body in my premises? How could
you Steve! How could you bury someone right in our yard , are
you mad?
Me: It was nothing, i just needed to get rid of the body fast.
Nandi: Who was it ? Did you kill him right here in our house?
Me : It happened unplanned
Nandi: Oh my god Steve! What have you done to our home.
She covered her face with her hands and sat down on the edge
of the bed.
Me: Honey you don't have to worry, no one will find the body.
Nandi: You have to dig it out of my yard and get it out now of
here , i will not live in a house with ghost wondering around in
my house , you have to do the right thing and send the body to
it's family so they rightfully bury it and it finds peace , i don't
want dead man haunting me in my own house !
Me: ( laughs) What? Since when have you believed in such
superstition , the is no such thing as ghost and the dead coming
to haunt the living , stop being silly.
Nandi: I don't care what you believe in Steve but all i know is ,
you are going to dig out that body and go hand it over to its
family let it be you leave it infront of the gate or at their door
step but you are going to get that body out of my yard ! And
you doing it tonight.
Me: Okay fine i will dig the body out and wrap it in a gift bag
with a bow tie and send it to her family.
Nandi: It's a her ?
Me: Yes but it's a nobody , you shouldn't worry yourself about
her.
Nandi: And also when you done doing all that, I also have to
warn you to not pursuit the plan you working on , let the family
have the body so it rest or you will be invite disruption and
chaos into our home.
Me: Where is all this coming from Nandi ? Why the sudden
warnings did you go see a pastor ?
Nandi: No , a traditional healer.
Me: Traditional healer? Since when have you been into
traditional healers?
Nandi : That's non of your business , i went there for my own
reasons and i was told to warn you.
I looked at her and shook my head, what the hell is wrong with
my wife? Is she into Traditional healers and Muti now? I just
looked at her suspiciously , this was really uncceptable i can't
have my wife engaging herself in such cultures.
Me: I'm really disappointed in you Nandi .
Nandi: In me ? Why because i got info that i shouldn't have
known about you? Is that why you disappointed in me , you
listen here , i will keep going for consultations till i hear every
single dirt about you and i have a feeling Gogo is going to help
me repair my family.
Me: Gogo? What the hell is wrong with you ! I forbid you to go
anywhere near Gogo or whoever the hell is his or her name !
That's if you still want to be my wife , i won't have my wife
gallavanting walking in and out of traditionally healers den
what do you think people will say about us ! We already are
treading people are saying we used the woman that burnt dead
in our house as a sacrifice for money and here you are
associating yourself with Sangomas ! Stop being a fuck up
Nandi ! Where are your brains! Think and stop being controlled
by anger and revenge!
Nandi: ( laughs) The people you so worried about don't give a
damn about our family , why am i even surprised the real
reasons we are going though so much problems in this house is
because of you ! You are burying dead bodies in our house
Steve!
Me: Yes blame me ! Go ahead that's all you good at is blaming
me everytime something goes wrong in our lives , blame me for
global warming, blame me for the suffering economy, blame
it all on me , I'm giving you the right too !
Nandi: Know what , I'm not going to let you ruin my night, not
tonight Steve.
She walked out the room slamming the door behind her. I
shook my head in anger forming a fist and punched the wall !
Me: Damn that traditional healer ! Damn you !
I took deep breaths claming myself down , Nandi and i were
making so much progress and now we are drifting away again ,
if i find whoever took her to a traditional healer that person is
going to pay.
DREW
God my legs were even painful this evening, the exercise
session i had with Molly today was painful than the first. I
paused for a moment and looked up.
Me: i can feel my legs , i can feel my painful legs .
I exhaled and tried moving my toes , they didn't move but i
could feel my painful knees , i could feel my knees , this meant i
was getting better . A nurse walked in with my pills and a cup of
water.
Nurse: Time for your bone calcium pills.
Me: I can feel my knee is pain.
Nurse: that's good , it means your exercises are challenging
your nerves that's a good start.
Me: Can I book doctor Molly everyday?
Nurse: That's possible but i don't believe she will allow that ,
you can't push yourself too much or your body will snap, these
only a limit for the pain your immune system can take.
Me: But what if I'm willing to push myself too much, that's
allow right.
Nurse : I think it's best you discuss that with your doctor , she
knows best when it comes to tackling your injury, I'm just a
nurse I'm here to take care of you and make sure you drink
your pills. Here is your dose .
Me: Thank you.
I took the pills and drank them down with water.
Nurse: You should rest now .
I laid down my head as she fixed my pillow for me.
Me: Thank you.
Nurse: Pleasure, if you need anything, i will be right around the
corner.
I nodded my head and faked a smile , she walked out the room
and closed the door , i got up dragging my legs up so i seat
straight up , i took my phone out watching YouTube videos of
people that suffered from my exact condition and regained
their legs back , i wanted to explore very treatment possible to
walk again.
ALPHA
I knocked off work in about 7 pm , i had an hour to get home
and freshen up for the press conference. I brushed my eyes as
they were tired from staring at the laptop all day, i managed to
get half my work done , that was cashing in money into
accounts and checking files with clients that have low capital
and cash in money into their accounts. Some money i cash is in
undetectable to them , so i get to withdraw the money without
them noticing, i call that the invisible capital.
Me: I think we should call it a day Ipek.
Ipek: Yes please, I'm so tired , i want to get home and soak
myself into a bubbly bath and drink wine.
We packed our things , she picked up files and we both walked
out the door , she dropped the pile of files on the floor , i
looked at her as she band down picking the files, i could see her
inner thighs and her booty as i was behind her . A part of me is
tempted felt like grabbing her and pinning her against the wall
just ram her up but another portion put on a strong fight
reminding me of the hurt i caused Amara the last time i slept
with a woman , Ipek wasn't worth it , I'll just go .
Ipek: I'm so sorry , i know you in a hurry, stupid files.
Me: You will close the door when you get out .
I passed her and walked into the elevator leaving her to pick up
the files. I walked out the elevator to the parking lot , i got into
my car and drove home. On my way i called in a nanny for
Junior and called a stylist for Amara , i wanted her to be
dressed beautiful since the press will be there they will take
pictures i just know and she should look stunning. I wanted
Amara to accompany me to the press conference so she speaks
for herself when needed I don't want no one narrating her
story for her . The lights were already on figured she will be
really angry at me for getting home late . I walked inside and
place my laptop bag on the kitchen counter and had a glass of
water.
Amara:You back.
Me: Yeah , I'm home.
I turned and looked at her , she covered her body with her
gown folding her arms.
Amara: How was work?
Me: Tiring but these no complaining , i love my job.
Amara: Good, i haven't had dinner i was waiting for you to
come back and eat together , Junior is already sleeping.
Me: That's good , you should go bath , we going to a press
conference in an hour.
Amara: What but i don't have anything to wear.
The bell went off , she looked at the door and looked at me.
Me: That must be Candy.
Amara: Who is Candy?
I walked to the door and open it up , Candy and his team
walked in .
Candy: Thee Alpha , you looking smoking hot as usual
Me: Come in.
He held his dress and walked inside with his crew behind him
holding his styling tools and a bag of dresses , he walked to
Amara and kissed her cheeks , Amara smiled. He held her
cheeks brushing her skin
Candy: Beautiful skin , i could work with this.
He opened Amara's gown and touched her thigh exposing her
skin to me , i enjoyed this , i folded my arm across my diagram
with my finger in my mouth looking at Amara's thigh.
Candy: Something revealing will do , thigh out honey, and chest
out . Let's go up stairs we need a private room so mister here
gets the big reveal , when I'm done with her you will want to
eat her up , off we go darling.
Me: Please be gentle on her .
Candy: You can't have a smoking outfit from being gentle
Alpha.
I let out a light laugh smiling sideways. He held Amara's hand
and they walked up the stairs , Amara was still confused but i
could see she actually loved Candy . Candy is a gay man that is
inlove with fashion, He just adores dressing people up for
events , it's a talent to him and he is using it to make money ,
he has dressed my mom before and Diana when we still had
our little affair. I unbuttoned my shirt walking to my room , as i
was about to open the door. Someone blocked it from opening
up.
Candy: We are using this room.
Me: I just want my suit ontop of the bed.
The door was slightly opened and the suit was handed to me , i
walked into Amara's bedroom careful not to wake Junior up , i
had a quick shower freshening up , i quickly got my pants on
fastening my belt. I looked at Junior as he was laying in the crip
, i kneeled down and placed my finger on his cheeks brushing
his soft skin.
Me: Hey there young boy, were you good to mommy today? I
know you were , you a good boy , you daddy's precious boy , i
love you so much little champ and i promise you , i won't ever
allow anything to happen to you or your mommy , cause both
of you are precious to me. Mommy and daddy are going out for
a few hours and you will be left with your nanny , she is going
to look after you till we get home okay. I love you boy.
I got up and leaned kissed his forehead. He let a sigh and
sucked on his hand still fast asleep , god i thought i woke him
up. I walked over the bed and picked up my shirt the door
opened up and a high heel peeked at door with black
painted toes , i looked at the feet slowly browsing my eyes up
her body, as i stood straight looking at her face. She looked at
me blinking as i gazed at her. She looked angelic , so i just fell
deeply inlove with her in that black dress , god can't i just wrap
my arms around her and tell her she looks beautiful. I kept on
gazing at her face that was slightly touched with make up
brightening up her complexion so she shines like the star she is
when she is in a room. She looked at me and gazed down with
her palms brushing against her hips that were curved out by
the dress , my beautiful curved mamma. She looked at me and
glanced down walking torwads the mirror that was placed in
the corner of her room , she took her sling bag inserting her
phone and lip gloss inside. I just stood there looking at her
through the mirror she too glanced at the mirror looking at me
and continued looking down at her bag. She turned and looked
at me.
Amara: Is there a problem?
I looked down wearing my shirt.
Me: No , not at all.
Amara : Oh i thought the was since you staring at me.
Me: No don't mind me.
She walked out the room , I buttoned up my shirt , and wore
my tie and blazer. I took out money from wallet and walked
into the main bedroom , Candy approached me .
Candy: So how does she look?
Me: looks good
Candy: Come on now Daddy Alpha , you can do way better than
that.
I looked at her as they made touch ups on her face , Candy
place his hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear.
Candy: Just look at her seated like a goddess, look at the black
dress that just exposes her body to you, look at how blended
her skin is to the fibre that is just art on it's pure form , and that
is a fine young lady you have here , keep a leash on her
Me: Here is your payment, thank you for your services .
Candy: You are such an uptight man you should loosen up .
Girls we can leave now.
They packed their things and carried them out the house , i
stood at the door and the nanny arrived, it was a little chilly
outside with a cold night breeze. She walked downstairs and
spoke with the nanny , giving her instructions on how to
gaurd JJ . I just watched her talk to the nanny taking charge as
the momma bear.
Amara : that's all then please don't wake him up , he could get
really grumpy.
Nanny: Yes Mem.
She walked to me hanging her bag on she shoulder.
Me: Shall we?
Amara: Yes , we can go.
I opened the door for her as we walked to the car , we got in
and drove out the house , we drove towards my family's house
, i just couldn't stop stealing glances of her. It felt like i was
warming up to a new different kind of feeling , the were certain
emotions you get used to when seeing your spouse . But this
was a different kind of feeling it was new love just building up
in me , blooming and blossoming into something big beautiful
and Candy had no mercy on me when he decided to just dress
her up into this woman i never thought she would be. I looked
at her afro that was tied up with black pins placed nicley to hold
her hair down with her blushing cheeks sparkling in make up
when she gets nervous or flustered . Her voluptuous and
curvaceous form as she seated next to me .Couldn't help but
look her her cleavage on her V necked dress that exposed her
chest covered in magnificent dark chocolate moderated skin. I
murmured my lips trying to pass out a complement but my
pride just wouldn't let me , i steered the wheel driving into the
mansion's drive way. I stopped the car switching off the engine.
Me: Uhm Amara i just want to have a word with you.
Amara: Okay what is it?
Me: If you feel overwhelmed and want to go home , you can
tell me and we will leave okay.
Amara: Okay.
Me: Okay we can go in.
She opened up the door and climbed off , i locked the car as we
walked towards the door , she slid her hand in my arm holding
onto my arm , i looked at her as we walked in the house ,
cameras began to flash at us , press taking photo's. Mom
approached us and kissed my cheeks as i gave her a hug , she
whispered in my ear.
Nandi : You looking handsome , what is she doing here?
Me: Behave yourself .
Nandi: You should tell that to your little witch.
She looked at Amara and walked back into the crowd.
Me: You still okay?
Amara: Your mother doesn't want me here.
Me: Who cares , come let's go take a seat.
I walked her over to the front row of the chairs she sat down as
we were offered champagne and whisky , i expected she said
she will have juice or something non alcoholic but she grabbed
on the glass and drank from it . Pop's clicked on the glass with a
fork.
Steve: May i have your attention please.
Everyone settled down as we listened to him giving a speech.
Amara was really hitting her glass , i had her second glass of
wine, just drinking throughout my father's speech.
LOGAN
I sat down streaming the press conference on my laptop , i was
just yawning to see Alpha , just to see him blink or move. The
cameras were streaming throughout the room as soon as it
faced Alpha's direction it zoomed to him , he was sitting with
Amara with his hand holding hers. I don't even know why this
was bothering me , i just switched off my laptop and laid down
on the bed and covered myself with the blanket. Are they back
together? She shot him , why would Alpha just forgive her just
like that? I figured he would drift away from her , this woman
has proven herself to being dangerous and obviously she
doesn't love Alpha, You can't go around gallavanting with men
and get caught by paparazzi and still get the guts to seat
besides the man you were cheating on smiling and looking
good like you did nothing, like you didn't shoot him. Alpha is
just gambling with his life and i pray he sees that before it's too
late.
NANDI
Steve held my hand as he was delivering the opening speech to
the press, i faked a smile so we look like a happy couple .
Steve: I will leave the rest to my beautiful wife , my pillar , the
only woman that matters , Nandi Smith.
I smiled as he kissed my hand.
Me: Thank you Honey, oh god I'm blushing .
The crowd laughed.
Me: Thank you all for finding the time to come over personally
and hear what we have to say about the strange and
unfortunate ordeals our family is experiencing. Without wasting
your time i just wanted to make things clear to all the social
media trolls , In my family we are not devil worshippers ,
what sort of nonsense is that ? We are a prayer strong family
and we believe in fair justice and ofcause have your opinions
about us if that makes you have a good night sleep we don't
care, just keep them to yourselves because we are going to sue
you if we hear any of this devil worshipping and sacrifice
superstition. Back to the real reason we here , i would like to
kindly inform you that the case of the body that was found in
our house got nothing to do with us , whomever is that person
we are truly sorry for what happened to her/him but at the
same time he/she left us questioning ourselves too , mean
we knew nothing about the woman that was supposedly living
in our house , we knew nothing, we are just in the dark as you
are , My husband and i will be doing follow ups on the detective
on the case so we quickly put this issue to rest .( smiling) My
son Alpha is here with us , i asked him to be present so he
answers any questions regarding his shooting , ( looking at
Amara faking a smile) And of cause Amara McKenzie is here too
, she will be answering questions too on why she shot my son
for another man.
I looked at her as she drank from her wine glass , i could see the
frustration and guilt in her eyes , Alpha placed his hand on her
thigh.
Steve: Uhmm.. thank you a lot , i think we have covered
everything and if someone has questions you can approached
us individually. Thank you.
Me: And please let's eat, drink and be merry.
I said letting out a kind smile and laugh , the crowd dispersed to
the food stall as people helped themselves to food , Alpha got
up and approached me.
Alpha: Did you really have to lie about Amara like that?
Me: I didn't lie , it's just you fail to see the truth and it is right
infront of you , if you would excuse me i have important guest
to attend to.
He looked at me and chuckled.
Alpha: Okay Mommy.
I walked towards the mayor and his wife smiling.
Me: Hey how are you.
Mayor's wife: I'm holding up okay.
We shared a hug holding our wine glasses.
AMARA
I couldn't stop drinking as the press approached me with
question all i could say was no comment with my wine glass on
my lips. I was drinking everything offered to me let it be wine ,
champagne and whiskey , i could feel i was getting drunk and
clumsy. I looked across the room , Alpha was laughing with a
female journalist , i placed my hand on my cheek drinking the
wine glass empty.
Reporter: Hi Miss McKenzie can i ask you a few question please.
Me: Yes please go right ahead what do you what to know?
Excuse me , can you fill my glass please .
The waiter filled my glass with wine .
Me: Know what , just leave the whole bottle!
He placed the bottle on the table and left , the reporter sat
down as i sipped on the sweet- sour red wine.
Me: Mhhh , this is nice , no wonder people are drunkards.
Reporter: So Miss McKenzie i just wanted some clarification on
what perpetrated you into shooting Mr Alpha Smith.
Me: ( laughs) What perpetrated me into shooting him huh? Let
me think , well i was angry and hurt , i was just a red flag caught
inbetween two bulls that wanted a piece of me.
Reporter: So it's true that you and Drew Hughes were having a
affair?
Me: Oh no , we didn't have anything serious, it just happened
it was a innocent mistake.
Reporter: Did you and Alpha mend things between you two
after the shooting?
Me: Yes we did , we co- parenting our son together but we not
a couple.
Reporter: So you are a single lady , this article will help you
find some suitable bachelors.
Me: ( laughs) No I'm not looking .
Reporter: Thank you so much , you are such a good sweet
person Amara , you are not the devil your mother in law paints
you out to be.
Me: Really ? Thank you so much.
I got up and strained my ankle almost lost balance but the
reporter held me. She was such a good person. She pretended
to hug me so people didn't notice i was drunk.
Reporter: Oppss , watch your step.
Me: Thank you , yho ! I would've completely embarrassed
myself.
I sat down and she walked away from the table to approached
other people, i sat down alone just drinking alcohol.
Me: Lord Jesus i am drunk.
I said laughing to myself , i kind of liked this feeling , i am happy
, joyful and full of life , i wasn't bothering anyone just enjoying
my company as Alpha went about whoring the whole room
smiling and taking photo's with woman.
Mute: Hey .
Me : ( smiling) Hi.
Mute: I can see you looking stunning and enjoying your drinks.
He said laughing , i shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
Me: Unfortunately yes , i am enjoying my company since the
guy that dragged me here is busy flirting the whole room.
Mute: You know that's not true.
Me: What is true then Mute? I'm sitting here alone in a press
conference i have never been in , this life is all new to me.
Mute: I know and you doing just fine , you know what ? I'm
going to drag Alpha's ass here , he must come and keep you
company.
He got up and disappeared into the crowd. I drank from my
glass hearing a tongue click behind me. I placed the glass on the
table as Nandi walked before me. She looked at me gazing at
my drunk self.
Nandi: What have i done to you Amara?
Me: Oh god , I am sorry for shooting your child for the
hundredth time.
Nandi: Why are you always sorry ? That's not the answer that i
want , i want to know what have i done to you.
Me: Can you just leave me alone , please i am not in the mood
for your nonsense.
Nandi: ( yelling) Excuse me ! In my own house !
Me: Throw me out then! I am sick and tired of you dancing on
my head , enough is enough! I have had it with you and your
pretence like you this caring mother while you know damn well
you failed your child , he is that bitter and cold hearted bastard
because of you , you raised a monster not me , you make
your son look some sort of an Angel when you know damn well
who Alpha is so don't you dare crucify me for your son's sins !
Your son came into my life willingly i never forced him and till
you get that into your brain you will remain writing me down
into your enemy list while I'm harmless to you .
She raised up her hand in attempt to slap me , i held her wrist
and looked at her , the crowd had stopped and looked at us
as the drama unfolded. I looked at her and shook my head.
Me: Not again , you will never ever raise your hand at me ! Not
now not ever! The last time was the last time . Mrs Nandi Smith
, i have lost respect for you , i thought you were different, took
you like a mother and if you hate me , that's on you
sweetheart, i don't give a damn.
Alpha : Amara , you are drunk honey come let's go home.
I tossed Nandi's hand aside , as Alpha held me by my waist
picking me up the chair i could barely stand on my own feet
without my knees wobbling.
Me: I am not drunk !
Alpha: Okay let me help you.
I pushed him off me , yelling while holding on the table.
Me: Don't touch me ! I am not drunk i can walk on my own .
Alpha : Okay i am not touching you , let's go.
I walked through the crowd and stopped.
Me: Where is the door?
Alpha: It's right infront of you.
I stumbled across the door holding my dress so i don't trip over
it , Alpha took off his blazer and placed it on my shoulders. As
we walked to the car he was holding me , he opened the door
and i walked in. And sat down on the seat taking my heels off. I
felt guilty i was rude to Nandi , that wasn't how Rose or should i
say my mom raised me ? Tears just flooded my cheeks . Alpha
looked at me driving .
Alpha: What's wrong?
Me: ( sobbing ) I'm fine , I'm just drunk.
Alpha: ( smiles) How does it feel to be drunk?
I looked at him pushing a smile through the tears .
Me: ( laughing) It feels good , it feels so damn good.
I laid my head on the window , sniffing and crying. I didn't
realise that the was so much happiness and guts that laid in a
bottle filled with alcohol, if i was sober wouldn't even had the
guts to talk back to Nandi like that , I don't want to seem cold
hearted but I felt good telling Nandi off , i felt like this huge
load has been removed off my chest , i felt lighter. My eyes
were zooming out , i was really sleepy , i closed my eyes just for
a minute.
ABBYGAIL
I sat down on the couch wearing a black laced lingerie,
waiting for him. The door opened up and he walked in , i got up
and stood before the door biting my lower lip smiling. He slowly
closed the door smiling with his eyes running on my body.
Mute: Hey there .
Me: Hey , missed me?
Mute: Now that you dressed like that , i think i just miss you
even more.
I catwalked to him wrapping my arms around his neck , his
hands made their way around my booty as he squeezed my
bum cheeks.
Me: Do you like my outfit?
Mute: It's ...cute.
Me: Cute? I thought you were going to say sexy or something?
He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my lips.
Mute: You'd be even more sexy if you take that off.
Me: Oh , you want me to take it off?
Mute: How am i supposed to eat my sweet in a sweet wrapper?
Me: My god , isn't he smart.
I backed away from him , walking slowly towards the bedroom
sliding the lingerie off .
Me: Are you coming? To have some sweets?
Mute: You can count on me , I'm definitely coming.
I got on the bed as he took off his clothes , he climbed the bed
wearing only his boxers . I sneaked under the sheet , he joined
me in i sneaked under and pulled his penis from his boxers
rubbing it gentle down and up twisting my hand around the tip.
He groaned lifting up his knees , i placed my hand on his tummy
for momentum, gulping his cock in my mouth. Stroking it
down in my mouth , i wrapped my lips around the tip , sucking ,
he held on my head.
Mute : ( groaning) Ah fuck ! You so good.
I stroked his cock deep in my thoat choking myself. He was
fully erected with his cock bent a little , i got up and climbed
ontop him kissing his lips, he rotated me to the sheets , i
weighed on the bed lifted my legs to his waist . Slowly running
his index finger in clit , he slid it down inserting it finger inside.
He rubbed on my vaginal wall , stroking his finger inside . I
gasped letting out a light sigh. I was wet and frustrated horny, i
wanted some cock , i wanted the muscle , desperately, i looked
at him , demanding.
Me: Give it to me please.
My clit was already throbbing in suspense , my body ready to
rammed up. I took frantically multiple shallow grasps on the
sheet . He positons his tip gently at the base of my entrance ,
hold me tightly he laid his forehead on mine looking in the eyes
pushing in . My vagina gladly opened up to him so
accommodates himself. I moaned closing my eyes. He
pushed in me , i could feel his cock make way deep inside my
tunnels , he stroked in repeatedly raising his pounding pace. He
bounced up and down inbetween my legs looking down at me ,
staring back , i kissed his lips inserting my tougue in his mouth,
he gulped on my tougue , his finger held on my clit as he
rubbed my clit for me. Electric pulses travelled my whole body
as i spilt my legs far apart for him. He is pleasuring me in
every way possible passionately, juices escaping my vagina
making way down my buttline , I laid back on the bed taking
that cock.
ALPHA
I parked the car in the drive way and got out the car , she had
cuddled herself in the seat fast alseep. I opened the passengers
door , waking her up .
Me: Amara , wake up we home.
She shook her head and continue sleeping.
Me: Sweetheart come on let's go in.
Amara: ( shaking her head) i just want some sleep please , just a
little sleep.
Me: I can't let you sleep in the car , ( calling out) Amara !
She had her eyes closed sleeping , Guess this is what i get for
letting her drink alcohol while she is not a alcohol drinker. I
picked her up from the chair and carried her out the car , i held
her onto my arms with her head laid on my shoulder . She held
on me tightly. The security gaurd helped me with the door and
he locked my car for me , i walked up the stairs each step taking
a big toll on my body, she was heavy. I kicked the main
bedrooms door opened and laid her on the bed , i sat down on
the edge of the bed covering her body taking my time looking
at her , I got up and walked to the nanny to check on JJ.
Nanny: Sir you are back?
Me: Yeah we back , his still asleep i see.
Nanny: I'll request an uber.
Me: No don't you can spend the night , and go home tomorrow
morning.
Nanny: Really ? I don't want to impose.
Me: Not at all , i can't let you go this late at night.
Nanny : Thank you.
Me: Okay , night.
I checked on JJ and he was still alseep . I walked out the room
closing the door slightly. I walked in my bedroom and closed
the door , unbuttoning my shirt , i took off my shoes and pants
and got into the sheets , i kept my distance away from Amara
laying on my side of the bed , i folded my hands on my
abdomen and laid back looking up at the room , i am so proud
of her for standing up for herself against my mom , so proud, i
closed my eyes.

[ THE FOLLOWING MORNING ]
NANDI
I woke up and had a bath wearing my comfortable dress , i sat
before the mirror puffing my face . Steve woke up yawing
behind me on the bed , i clicked my tougue in anger.
Steve: Before you start spitting fire , good morning my love.
I got up from the chair and opened up my wodrope taking out
clothes.
Me: Can you believe the guts that girl had ? How dare she
touch me with her filthy hand ! Dare spit rubbish and garbage
my way ! Who the hell is Amara to question me? Just because
my son is sleeping with her she thinks she has made it in life ,
she is in my league? What nonsense, and you know what Steve
my beloved son just stood there watched me being insulted by
his little whore ! And you too Steve you just stood there!
Steve: To be honest sweetheart you pushed her to that length,
she was just minding her business getting herself drunk but you
just had to go over and push her to her limit and remember
baby the is always a limit to a person you shouldn't cross or
they will snap and that was Amara's snapping point.
Me: Snapping point? So what now days when youngsters
disrespect their elders you call it a snapping point?
Steve : Please just let what happened in the past stay in the
past .
Me: What past ? I will not let anything stay in the past as for
Amara , let her ride the high horse she is riding, the will come a
time she will drop on that horse she is riding and we will see
who will have the last laugh then.
I took out all my clothes from the wodrope , just wripping
them off the hangers.
Steve: What did the clothes do now? Where are you taking the
clothes.
Me: Dry cleaning, i want my clothes re-washed ironed and
packed again.
Steve: And when you done with that , you will want the whole
house to be redecorated? Furniture moved?
Me: This is no time for your cold jokes Steve .
Steve: Don't do this to yourself please darling , don't frustrate
yourself like this.
I walked out the room and approached the kitchen . The maids
came in early to clean the house . I walked over to them and
took a apron , helping around the kitchen , whenever I'm
frustrated and angry , i clean or i cook or make people work
hard. I just keep myself busy and with Amara disrespecting me
last night infront of the press i needed to keep myself busy or i
will think irrational and just order hitman to wipe her off the
living list. I still couldn't believe Amara spoke to me like that ,
i was still processing it , i couldn't even sleep at night tossing
and turning the whole night.
AMARA
I woke up to my back shivering cold , opening my eyes i felt the
window behind me was open with the curtain slightly opened
with the first golden rays of the sunrise peaky in. My head felt
with a headache slightly hitting the corner of my brow , felt like
my skull had broken into two . Feeling a heavy warm arm
wrapped around me , i looked at Alpha's chest , that was right
before my face , i looked at his nipples that were placed nicely
on his beat up chest , why was he naked , did we have sex? I
reached down my hands feeling my body, i was still covered in
fabric, thank god i sigh in relief. I looked at him wondering if we
spent all night like this , cuddled against each other all night
long with his arm hooked firmly on mine . I found myself
leaning into him , resting weight against his solid chest , i let my
cheek press on the top of his arm as he shielded me with
another wrapped around me . He snored like a bear , with his
eye lids covering his eyeballs , beautiful long lashes with bushy
black brows. Could anyone be this beautifully perfect, i lifted
my hand slowly too careful to not wake him up , pleased to rest
it on his face and touch his skin . As my hand approached his
skin just inches before i could finally get the chance to hold him
after days of separation and no affection, he opened his eyes . I
held my forehead and moaned.
Me: My head , oh god.
Alpha : ( yawning) Is it sore? I'll get you headache pills in the
medicine cabinet.
He got up unwrapping his arms around me for a moment i
felt like telling him to not get up so we lie in bed one more time
on a more prolonged moment were time suspense and
definitely as i lay my hand on his chest and hear his heart beat
for one more time i'll be okay. He sat up on the bed wiping his
face stretching his arms.
Alpha : I'll go check up on Junior first then make you some
coffee
Me: No need too go make coffee I'll go check on him , before
you go can you please help me with the dress zip , this dress is
squeezing me.
I got up from the bed and turn around, my body was squeezed
in this dress , it was so tight i don't even know how i manage to
sleep all night long with it on. He stood behind me and
unzipped the dress. I held the dress against my boobs as the
shoulders slipped off , it was a quiet and awkward moment for
the both of us .
Alpha: There you go , I'll be downstairs .
Me: How did i end up in your bed?
Alpha : We came home late so i couldn't let the nanny leave at
that hour you were drunk so i laid you here , i didn't touch you
inappropriately if you wondering.
Me: Thank you i hope i didn't strain your back.
Alpha: You were heavy but I'm okay.
Me: Was i that drunk? Did i hurt someone ?
Alpha: I don't believe you did , no you didn't.
He took out a t-shirt and sweatpants wore them and walked
out the room . I walked out his room to mine , the nanny was
up already she was holding Junior feeding him his morning
bottle for today i won't be breastfeeding him i drank
alcohol a lot last night.
Nanny: Morning.
Me: Morning, thank you so much for guarding him while we
were alseep.
Nanny: The is no problem Mem .
Me: You must want to go home , uhmm i will infrom Alpha
about your payment.
I took off the dress and wore my gown taking Junior off her
hands. She collected her things and we walked downstairs.
Alpha was making coffee , he really knew how to work the
kitchen just not for preparing meals maybe coffee or blending
his smoothies that's what he actually knew how to make .
Nanny: I will be on my way now.
Alpha : I will transfer your payment in your account.
Nanny: Thank you, my uber is waiting for me outside, bye.
Me: Bye , thank you.
She walked towards the door . I sat down on the chair , he
handed me headache pills and a glass of water .
Alpha: You should set an appointment for a full body check up
for Junior.
Me : Why? He is not sick?
Alpha: His sleeping levels are alarming Amara , most 1 month
babies don't sleep all day long, he is no longer a new born.
Me : I see nothing wrong with Junior, Alpha babies sleep all the
time, that's how they grow .
Alpha: We not taking that chances you are not a doctor, we
have to get professional opinion about this.
Me: Why would you think our son is sick because he sleeps to
much?
Alpha: Maybe he has autism.
Me: Are you being serious? Autism in a 1 month baby.
Alpha: I know it's mad but we have to acknowledge this , other
babies usually are able to murmur try pronouncing vowels, they
baby talk , they giggle or when you call their name they look at
you because they acknowledge you calling to them , we don't
even get the chance to talk to him because his sleeping, plus he
likes cuddling. Babies suffering with Autism like cuddling.
Me: ( laughing) You are being silly Alpha , i like cuddling too
does that mean i have autism too?
Alpha: Can you be a concerned parent for once in your life and
stop laughing or making jokes , you should be paying attention
to your child noticing his behavior pattern and i say our son is
way more introverted to be a baby . Babies cry , i don't hear
Junior crying , his too quiet.
Me: Okay fine , i will set an appointment with a doctor.
Alpha: No don't, i don't want my child checked by Jaden , i will
set the appointment and let you know , for now i want us to
discuss a sleeping routine for him , how many hours he should
sleep and keep him active in a long period of time let it be he is
watching cartoons.
Someone woke up in parenting mode. But i didn't understand
what a month old baby would understand in watching cartoons
that will just cause eye problems for him. Junior is a baby , why
couldn't he understand that? He will sleep throughout his
period being a baby and when he begins to crawl , walk and
actually be able to pronounce words like Mama and papa ,
that's when we will watch the symptoms of Autism that he
claims our son has , i wasn't sure if he was scared of having a
child with Autism or was he afraid of the stigma that will come
with " A Smith child can not get sick " even if Junior has autism
it won't make any difference , he will still remain our baby boy.
Me : I Don't believe Junior has Autism, it's just him being a baby
not all children have to cry all the time, but now that you insist
on having him get checked up , then fine .
Alpha: I have to go get ready for work. Any improvements in
getting a job.
Me : I have applied in multiple companies just waiting for my
phone to ring off the hook.
Alpha: okay goodluck on that then you should consider getting
a nanny too for Junior.
Me: Why do i feel like you don't want me to work? You want
me to be a house baby mama that depends on you for
everything.
Alpha: I don't find anything funny with that, mean i got money
you can everything you want , you and Junior, you want a car ?
You getting a car , you want to renovate the house and make it
more homely for your liking ? Go right ahead all the cost will be
covered. You are the mother of my child after all.
He picked up his coffee mug and walked upstairs , did he just
offer to buy me a car ? Renovate the house , i looked around
the house and smiled . I placed Junior on the table and looked
at him smiling . He just looked at me as i gazed into his eyes , he
quickly moved his eyes away from me gazing over my shoulder.
No , my child can't have autism , his just a baby and babies have
running eyes thats how they adapt to an environment by
browsing the room and noticing things , my baby is not sick.
MUTE
I woke up and yawned turning my face to her , she blinked
prettily , hiding a yawn behind her hand. I could tell she has
been awake for a while now . Something bubbled up inside of
me as i remembered last night , last night was steaming hot ,
we had sex almost all night long each taking charge as we
fucked the hell out of one another . Wanted some morning's
too but in pity i just figured she pussy would probably need a
breather, her member has been taking dick all night i had to be
considerate even though i couldn't get enough of thrusting in
and out of her we could have sex everyday. She rested her
hand on my thigh and smiled .
Abby: Morning tiger.
Me: Morning.
Abby: I'm so tired, i just want us to stay in bed the whole day
and rest.
Me: That won't be possible i have work to do.
Abby: What kind of work do you do anyways? You always have
work to do but never say what you do.
I got up from the bed picking up my boxers from the floor, i
wore them looking down at her on the bed.
Me: It's just work.
Abby: Is it illegal work? Like what Cohen does for my dad?
Cause you don't want to tell me how you make a living.
Me: Ask me no question about my work, i will tell you no lies.
Abby: But baby i figured we are a couple now so we will tell
each other about our lives , you know everything about my life
but i know nothing about yours , why are you so uptight about
yourself ? I want you too open up to me .
I looked at her and chuckled walking inside the bathroom and
had a shower , why the sudden curiosity on what i do for a
living , she was beginning to make me doubt our affair , made
me think maybe she is her father's spy , coming to suck
information out of me but for her information she is getting
nothing from me . Pop's didn't get a chance to tell me about
the job at the conference. I will need to first drop by at home
before going to the warehouse . We were back in business now
and i had to get my socks up , as for Abby i enjoyed having her
around i just don't like how she be questioning my life . Mean
I'm giving her my time , brought her into my home giving her
access to me many girls be dying to have , she must be satisfied
with that and stop demanding to much of me. I got dressed and
wore my leather jacket.
Me: You should get up so i drop you off at home.
Abby: It's fine you can go right ahead, i will clean up and get an
uber home .
I nodded my head and walked out the room , i took off a
painting on the wall and opened my safe taking out my gun , i
inserted bullets in and placed it in my hip hiding the safe. There
was about 500k in my safe and gun magazine's and a box of
bullets , my password was hard to crack, i was the only one that
could gain access in that safe. I walked out the house and
walked downstairs too my car and drove out.

Ever since Jaden paid Amara a visit he has been in a good mood
, i looked at him packing his doctors bag and lunch box
whistling.
Me: Baby , can i steal a minute of your time please.
Jaden: Ofcause Ma.
Me: Come seat down.
He sat down besides me , i held his hands and looked at him.
Jaden: What is going on?
Me: Tell me my boy and please be honest okay.
Jaden: okay.
Me: Are you attracted to Amara?
His facial expression changed , he couldn't even look me in the
eyes.
Jaden: ( fakes a laugh) Where is all this coming from now Ma ?
Me: be honest with yourself and your heart . It's good to have
feelings for someone, it's good to love them and it's even great
to actually want them to be happy and wish you could make
them happy, i have no problem with that , i know you are a
great man and i know you would actually love Amara rightfully
and make her happy. But baby you need to understand you
can't force Amara to be with you by badmouthing the father of
her child. To Amara , Alpha is what is right , she is devoted to
him , his exciting to her and nothing draws a woman better
than a dangerous man that is just mysterious and keeps her on
toes . Woman tend to crave what is toxic than what is good
for her .
Jaden: So you saying I'm boring? You saying i can't be
exciting?
Me: That's not what i mean my son.
Jaden: What exactly do you mean Ma , you think i can't go
against Alpha? I actually think you are degrading me , you don't
think I'm man enough to actually make your granddaughter
happy and you know what i will prove you wrong.
He got up from the table and took his bag and car keys.
Me: Jaden i didn't mean it like that , all i am saying is that you
won't be able to create a life with Amara while Alpha is still in
her life , she will always find her way back into his arms and
that is going to break your heart .
Jaden : We will see about that , when i bring Amara home not
just as my girlfriend but as my wife , i will make her something
Alpha never dare to do and that is to do what is right by Amara,
make her a married woman , love and treasure her. I'm off to
work.
He walked out the house and i just couldn't help but let out a
laugh. Jaden was really inlove with Amara , but why didn't he
say something all this while ? I did suspect he might actually fall
for her when she was here but i figured it will just be a crush
and blow over . Being Freak Amara would actually be good
with Jaden and they'd build a strong healthy family and home
together , at the same time it wasn't my choice to make.
STEVE
Mute walked in the house and we sat down out in the patio
having coffee. I woke up in a really good today . He picked up
the mug and had his coffee , i looked at him as smiled as his
skin was radiating. Alpha walked in the patio too , he sat down
and poured himself some coffee.
Alpha: Just what i needed.
Me: What do these ladies say ? Oh yeah , Mute is glowing this
morning .
Mute: ( chuckles ) What ! No Pop's come on.
Alpha: His even blushing , i suspect he has a girlfriend.
Me: Do you son?
Mute: ( breathes in) Well the is a woman I'm seeing and she's
been worth my while.
Alpha : ( laughs) Worth your while , mhh i see.
Me: Do we know her?
Mute: Yes you both do .
Alpha : So are we going to play this guessing game or you will
just tell us what is going on?
Mute: It's Abbygail Hughes.
Alpha: Huh? ( laughs)
Alpha couldn't stop laughing, my mood just dropped , i went
from floating freely in the sky to dropping from Kilimanjaro in
about a few seconds , what the hell is going on with the boys of
this family and always falling for the wrong women ? Why do
they fall inlove with women that are not acceptable in our
family. Alpha looked at me still laughing.
Alpha : Watch how he will explored , the is a lecture coming
your way on how you shouldn't be inlove you are going to get
weak , on how you will lack on your work.
Me: I am not going to lecture any of you on your love lives, you
can be with anyone you want as long as you won't jeopardize
our business , that's all i want from you.
Alpha : Oh i see , but when i was inlove and pleaded with you
that i only wanted to be loved , you fought me tough guy , you
came with every gun blazing shooting me down .
Me: Son i thought we made it pass that , can we please stop
drooling over the past
Alpha: What Past Pop's? Past the fact you stole me away
from the mother of my child when we were about to welcome
our son , you stole the feeling we should've had together
holding our new born baby , is the past I'm drilling on ? Past the
fact you made me lose the most precious time i should have
had with Amara ? No tell me , what we have made it past? You
never gave me a chance to be happy? It was you and now it's
your ? You know i find it hard to actually believe you two
are really my parents? How do you break your own flesh and
blood like this? Why does me being happy kill you so much that
you try so hard and even turns to make sure I'm miserable?
Well then tell your wife to rest assured , these nothing going on
between me and Amara , we sleep in separate rooms , i can't
even touch her , wrap my arms around her willingly without
feeling I'm actually violating her , you have been with Ma all
these years while she wasn't happy being with you , i don't
want that for Amara , i don't want to her to turn out and be just
like my Mother , being unhappy for years with me , i just
wanted a normal love life , where laundering money doesn't
exist , where being Thee Alpha Smith a business man with
billions that has to be ruthless and self centered doesn't matter
, i wanted to walk in a loving home filled with warmth , love
care , meet my loving wife and baby and wrap them in my arms
and tell them in loved them so much. But screw that , I'm a
Smith i don't deserve all that. ( chuckles) let me not bore you
with my sob story , congratulations Mute , i hope your Pop's
doesn't your joy cause they usually advantage when you let
them.
He smiled and got up from the chair , that was actually the
first time Alpha really gave me heartfelt mouthful of words ,
he really opened up about how he felt and it broke my heart to
see my boy this hurt .
Me: Alpha please seat down so we talk about this.
Alpha: ( yelling) Talk about what ? You bastard ! You
drugged me ! You erased my memory!
Nandi walked outside so did the whole house of maids and
gaurds.
Mute: Alpha calm down please.
Alpha: You better shut up ! Cause i know you knew everything!
You planned it with him ! You Judas Iscariot , you know
everything that happens in his life , you are his lap dog !
Nandi: Honey what is wrong? What is going on please talk to
us.
Alpha : Oh there she is , Our very own Royal her Majesty. Know
what both of you are not worth getting me angry , I'll just walk
out that door , You both deserve each other.
Nandi: For how long will you keep running away from us? Why
can't you help us make make things right between us , i want to
be there for you my child , i really do , i love you and i am so
sorry if i made things worse between you and Amara , i was
just trying to protect you , i was trying to be your mom.
He just clicked his tougue and walked out just left us outside
exiting the room.
Nandi : You see what i was talking about ? You need to fix this !
Till you remove those things from our house we will keep
fighting each other till we kill one another !
The maids dispersed going back to their work . I was beginning
to believe Nandi , maybe if i remove the body, peace will reign
between me and my son . I still didn't know Alpha knew what i
did , he knew all along i drugged him and he never said
anything, he never showed any hatred or signs to want
revenge. This means i was dealing with a very dangerous
person, he laughed with me , called me Pop's countless times
while he knew i was the reason he mistreated Amara , I'm the
reason Amara never got to see her child after birth, i took her
child and made her suffer watching her child and Alpha bond
with another woman.
Mute: Pop's are you fine?
Me: I'm good boy , I'm just trying to process what just
happened but I'm fine.
Mute: I think i will have to go have a word with Alpha.
Me: No don't, give him space and time , his angry so he needs
time , all we have to do is give him time.
Mute: About the job you wanted me to do, what is it ? So i get
to it.
Me: I will get back to you about the job , for now give me space
, i need to think.
He got up and left , i laid back on the chair searching myself
about what Alpha was prepared to do with all this , now that i
know he knows , i will have to be ready for him . Alpha is not
really a forgetful person nor does he like being betrayed, i
raised that boy and i believe he will come back to get me and
when he finally does , he will bite hard , i have to be ready .
COHEN
I sat outside Alpha's yard scouting the yard , A car pulled up
at a front yard as a elderly woman got out , I looked at her as
she approached the gate and a security gaurd walked to her
they talked for a while . A woman carrying a baby walked out
the houss , i looked at her as she stood at the drive way and
she and the woman hugged . That must be Alpha's baby
mamma and his son . I looked at her as she smiled at the
woman she is really curved no wonder Drew is laying crippled
in hospital, i licked my lips looking at her as they walked into
the house together . The gaurd looked across to my car, i
lowered my chair so he doesn't see my face but i could see him
, he opened up the gate i peeked a little i could see he was
coming to me direction cause his eyes were fixated on my car , i
closed the windows and revved my car driving off . I couldn't
give out my identity i just had to find a way to make money for
the boss and fast .He was really drowning , i could see
desperation in his eyes to have money and no one wanted to
buy the guns , they said we were too expensive. I have been
working with Thabo for years now and developed a bond . I
wanted to help him even though this plan came with great
danger but it was a simple plan that came with a lot of money ,
if i get this right i will be able to cash in big money, a cut for me
and the boss . Alpha is rich , that boy is filthy rich and a man
would do anything to save his family.
