Mark Vega’s POV

 

I sighed and dropped the phone on my bed. What does Monika want with me again?

 

I met her 20 years ago. Before I got married. She was a sexy secretary to my friend and each time I came to his office, I couldn’t get my eyes off her. One day, I came to see him but he wasn’t in. Monika said I should wait for him since he was to be back in few minutes. She then served me coffee and as she was about to leave, I grabbed her and pinned her to the table. I told her that I couldn’t resist the urge to have her. She begged me, saying she was married. I was adamant about having my way with her when my friend came back. He caught us in that position and I could see the embarrassment on her face

She left the office and I apologized to my friend who was not so surprised. He laughed and said he knew I had eyes for her.

 

He therefore decided to help me and get her, despite the fact that she was married

 

 

flash back

 

Vin : seriously Mark, if you really want her then just let me fire her

 

Me: I don’t understand.

 

 

Vin: if I fire her on account of what I saw, she’ll feel like you caused it and get angry with you. You’ll try to pacify her and assure her of money and a good life because she’s not buoyant. You can have your way with her in any way you want

 

Me: are you sure that’s going to work?

 

Vin: let’s give it a try

 

I nodded and left the office. Shortly after, Vin texted me that he already fired her. I was so happy, I took her number and called her the next day

 

hello

 

hello Monika Oliver speaking

 

how are you Monika?

 

who I’m I speaking with?

 

I’m sorry you got fired. I tried to beg him to let you stay but he didn’t listen to me

 

Mr Vega? Gosh! How did you get my number?

 

chill girl, I just wanna help you since I’m the cause of your misfortune and how are you going to do that?

 

can we meet? I have two or more offers for you

 

The phone was silent for a while

 

 

okay.. Where?

 

I smiled to myself then gave her the name of the hotel and the room where I was

 

 

presently

 

 

I lured Monika into my bed that day and gave her lots of money. She was happy and I liked that.

 

Monika and I kept seeing each other that I became so addicted to her body. We became very intimate and I always gave her money.

 

 

The problem between us started when she said she was going to divorce her husband so the both of us could be together without anything holding us back. I didn’t like that idea because I never loved her, I was just in love with her body. I didn’t want to marry her.

 

I made her forget about the idea of divorce

 

Trouble broke out between us when she saw an article about my upcoming wedding. She was so angry with me and cut off all ties with me. At first I didn’t care, but few months into my marriage with Veronica I began to miss Monika I contacted her again and tried to win her back. That was how I started an extra marital affair. I even employed her in my house as the chief maid just so I could have her when my wife was out

 

Soon Veronica took in, I was so happy. I suddenly felt bad for cheating on her. That day, I decided to do away with Monika for good

 

Unfortunately, that same day, even before I could tell her, she told me that she was pregnant for me.

 

I was so surprised and confused as to what to do

 

I didn’t want Veronica to hear of it at all. I immediately told her to abort the pregnancy

 

flashback

 

Monika : what?

 

Me: just flush out the baby. I don’t want to have anything to do with it

 

She got really angry and slapped me hardly on the face

 

Monika: are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?

 

Me: what else should I say? Look, just do what will save our asses. This baby cannot stay here, it’s going to bring so much trouble. Your husband wouldn’t be so happy to hear that you’re pregnant for your boss and my wife will be so heartbroken. Besides, she’s pregnant too

 

 

Monika : so you’re denying your baby?

 

Me: I’m not denying. I’m sure the baby is mine, your husband has been away for some time now so I’m the father. But Monika please, get rid of it. I promise I’ll give you enough money and everything you need, as long as we can stop this naughty affair. It’s high time we focused on our families

 

She began to cry. I felt sorry for her but I couldn’t do anything

 

Monika : okay.. I’ll.. I’ll abort the pregnancy

 

I smiled happily. I later gave her huge amounts of money and made sure she had enough

 

Then I convinced my wife for us to relocate back to America..In less than a week, we were off from Canada and I never saw Monika or heard from her again

Jade West’s POV

 

I took up my phone and called Andre. I needed him to write a song for me for the horror video clip I’m producing

 

hello Andre

 

hi Jade

 

write a scary song for me

 

what?

 

I’m not repeating what I said

 

I don’t write scary songs

 

meet me tonight at Continental restaurant by 7:30pm but I’ll be…

 

you better be there

 

 

I dropped the phone and headed out of the house. Then Emily called me, I picked it up

 

 

what do you want?

 

hey, is that how to say hello to your favorite cousin?

 

and what makes you think you’re my favorite cousin?

 

Peter can no longer play soccer because of the major fracture he attained when we were just ten years. Because of that, Aunt Alice left LA, just so they could avoid you. Also, Molina, you tied her to a chair and poured glue on her eyes just because she broke your phone.

 

well, she went for surgery and her eyes got fixed but she still can’t see without the use of glasses

 

OK, maybe you’re my favorite cousin

 

good girl, now come over. I’m lonely

 

no, I’m hanging up. Bye

 

 

I hung up and walked to the garage, I brought out my car and entered. Then a phone call came in, it was still Emily

 

 

you’re disturbing my life

 

you know that boy Karie had a crush on. I remember telling you about him. He humiliated her at school today. Can you help us pay him back?

 

do you want some meatballs? Because I’ll buy them when I’m coming over to your house

 

yes! I knew I could count on you

 

 

She hung up and I cracked. I’m going to skip school on Monday because I’m going to Emily’s school

 

I just love bullying stupid boys

Monika Oliver’s POV

 

It was just few minutes to 7pm. I added the last touch of my red lipstick and picked my purse. I headed out of my room and walked down the stairs. I saw Beck pouring out some drinks into two glass cups.

 

Immediately he saw me he stopped and stared at me with his mouth open

Me: where is Tori? Has she gone?

 

He sighed

 

Beck: no, she’s in my room

 

Me: you’re being stubborn aren’t you?

 

Beck: don’t even go there

 

I smirked, knowing he’s just trying to be stubborn. But he’s going to break up with her whether he likes it or not

 

Me: I’m going out

 

Beck: on a date?

 

Me: why do you say so?

 

Beck: mom, I haven’t seen you like this in years

 

Me: yes, I’m going on a date… with reality

 

I turned and left the room without looking back. I boarded a taxi and went straight to the restaurant.

 

I went to a table and ordered for an inexpensive drink while I waited for Mark

Andre Harris’ POV

 

I dipped my hands into my pockets and walked into the restaurant, I sighted Jade and sighed. I went to the table

 

Me: good evening… Jade

 

Jade: sit

 

 

I pulled out a chair and sat down

 

Me: you look good.

 

She smirked evilly

 

Jade: thank you

 

Everything about this girl is scary. She must be a villain in the making. And she even looks like Maleficent with her black makeup

 

Me: so why I’m I here?

 

Jade: look at these lyrics

 

She handed me a paper with a song on it

 

Me: a song?

 

Jade: it’s not yet a song. I want you to use those words and write a slow song for me

 

I read through the words and my face puzzled up

 

Me: where the heck did you get these words from?

 

Jade: from my personal dictionary of dark words

 

The waiter came and dropped two glasses of red wine, bowed and left Jade took hers and offered the other one to me

 

Me: when do you need it?

 

Jade: tomorrow morning

 

Me: what? You mean you want me to write this overnight?.

 

Jade: I thought you said it doesn’t take you an hour to write a song

 

Me: this isn’t a song Jade, this is a nightmare tune. If I stay up to form this, I might attend serious therapy for a whole year

 

Jade: then attend it

 

Me: please, I’ll write the song tomorrow morning and I’ll give it to you on Monday

 

 

Jade: I’ll need it tomorrow so I’ll come over to your house and get it

 

Me: but

 

Jade: no buts… Now drink

 

I sighed and took the glass

 

Jade: isn’t that Tori’s dad? I thought he was out of the country

 

Me: who?

 

She looked towards the right side of the restaurant, I traced her gaze and it fell on a man wearing a light blue long sleeved office wear and dark pants. He was also with a tie

 

I looked at the lady sitting opposite him on the same table, she looked really familiar but I couldn’t lay my hands on who exactly it was

 

Jade: why are you staring at that lady? Is she your mom?

 

Me: no but.. she looks so familiar

 

Jade: whatever

 

I kept looking at the woman, her face kept ringing a bell until I finally recognized her. I gasped immediately

 

Me: jeez, that’s Beck’s mom

 

Jade: that young lady?

 

Me: she’s not supposed to look that young. No wonder I didn’t recognize her. She’s looking so different and what is she doing with a rich man like Tori’s dad

 

Jade: and her outfit? It seems like they do business together

 

Me: trust me Jade, Mrs Oliver has nothing to do with someone of high status. It’s like they are two opposite people

 

Jade: well, their children are dating. Maybe they came to talk as future in laws

 

I sighed

 

Me: wwhy does it look as if Mr Vega is bewildered?

 

 

Jade looked at him

 

Jade: did she tell him something he wasn’t expecting?

 

Me: oh my God, his countenance just fell. He looks confused and dejected now Jade: I don’t think they met because they are future in-laws. They have something up their sleeves

 

Me: Jade, I think we should leave

 

Jade: why?

 

Me: nothing, well I’m leaving. Good night

 

I gulped down a little of the wine and folded the paper. I stoop up and tucked it into my pocket

 

Me: bye

 

I went out, making sure that Beck’s mom didn’t see me. I took a taxi and went straight to Beck’s house. I knocked and Tori opened it

 

Me: Tori?

 

Tori: wow Andre, hi

 

Me: can I come in?

 

Tori: sure

 

She opened the door well and moved out of the way. I entered inside and she closed it

 

Me: I hope I’m not interrupting any honeymoon here?

 

She laughed

 

Beck: yes you are. You’re interrupting my honeymoon

 

I looked up and saw Beck climbing down the stairs

 

 

Me: oops, sorry man. But I’m angry with you, how would you get married without telling me.

 

Tori: oh please help me punish him. I tried hard to have him invite you but he wouldn’t listen

 

We laughed

 

Beck: so what’s up bro?

 

Me: cool bro. Just wanted to check on you

 

Beck: let’s go upstairs and have guy talk

 

Tori: haha, I refuse to be jealous

 

Me: don’t worry, I won’t keep him for long

 

Tori: hahaha

 

Beck pecked her

 

Beck: I’ll be right back

 

Tori: okay

 

We went upstairs together while Tori settled down to watch TV

Tori Vega’s POV

 

I turned on the TV and then I heard a knock. It must be Beck’s mom this time. I walked to the door and opened it

 

Me: Jade?

 

Jade: Tori

 

Me: wow

 

She pushed me away and entered inside

 

Jade: nice apartment

 

Tori: it’s really nice

 

She sat on the couch

 

Me: let me get you something to drink

 

I went to the fridge and brought out two soda cans. I gave her one

 

Jade: where’s Beck?

 

Me: upstairs with…

 

Jade: I saw your dad

 

Me: my dad? He’s in London

 

Jade: I saw him today, few minutes ago of

 

Me: are you serious? Where did you see him?

 

Jade: at a restaurant

 

Me: maybe he had to come back

 

My phone rang and it was dad

 

Me: oh it’s him

 

I picked it up

 

hello dad

 

come home now

 

dad, I’m still staying with Beck. Remember?

 

Tori, come home now

 

He hung up and I looked at Jade

 

Me: he wants me to come home and he didn’t sound so good

 

Jade: maybe there’s a problem somewhere

 

Me: yeah, maybe

 

I stood up. Just then, the door opened. It was Beck’s mom

 

Me: welcome back ma’am

 

Jade just crossed her arms, looking at her

 

Beck: where’s Beck?

 

Me: upstairs

 

She looked me over then looked at Jade, she went upstairs without a word

 

Jade: Tori, let’s go

 

Me: my bags and…

 

Jade: I said let’s go.. You’ll get all that later
