But she wasn’t looking at him, she was glaring quite seriously at the blonde lady. She looked sexy and classy in her white crop-top, denim jeans and a brown coat. “And you are?” The girl frowned slightly, seemingly intimidated by Velma’s outfit in comparison to her own Haiti dress. “My name is not important. I said he is not free today because he and I both, have something to do, or do we not , Nathan?” She glanced at a surprised Nathan and he raised a questioning brow, not knowing what to reply.He had never had such an experience, and he was starting to hate the way he looked stupid constantly, when he couldn't respond or react appropriately. Velma tried comporting herself to remain calm, and Nathan couldn't tell if she was being jovial or she was serious. “I’d prefer if you moved over then” Velma said sternly to the girl. The others had stopped their own conversations and now focused on the new distraction that was Velma.“Excuse me?” Velma rolled her eyes. “Well you heard

"Try me" She replied, eager for whatever information he wanted to tell her."We've probably known each other since I was very young" He said.Her eyes widened in bewilderment. "Really? How?" "Let's just say he helped me. I was in a very bad state and he saved me""Wow. I didn't know he was still capable of such goodness" She gazed ahead, absentmindedly. He frowned. "Why do you say that?" She sighed, hesitating slightly." Since my mom died, he retreated into a very dark hole I dread to think he hasn't come out from. Maybe it's even the reason for his paranoia". Emotions swirled within Nathan, sadness weighing in like solid blocks of stone. "Your mom? When did she die?""Oh when I was little. I don't really have much memory of her, or remember much about her.""I'm sorry about that " He said, his face softening.She waved him off. "Your dad isn't paranoid you know" He said. She scoffed. "You think ""I know. He loves you and he's concerned about you " She chuckled, and he liked t

He looked astounded. "Rose? Why? Why do you need her?""Well, my business and conglomerates are in the same line with what her father is doing. So we're fierce competitors. And I must say lately he is doing a lot to piss me off and shove his shit in my face." He paused."But the thing is, in this game, I have to win, and I have to be at the very top and eliminate all competition, even if I get my hands a little soiled.""What are you going to do to her?" "Oh nothing, nothing at all. My fight is not with the poor lad. I'll use her to get what I want from Swack."Cayden was silent for a moment. "Your steward called me “Master“, why? Or is it that part of this whole weird scheme? And why should I work for you, as that is basically what this is all about. Why should I let you use my enmity with that jerk to control me into getting what you --?""Oh no no... You've got it all wrong." Mr. Khosrow interjected. "First off, I'm not “using“ you. Nathan has been hired by Swack, to protect his da

"For real?" Drew said. "Of course. Why would I like her? She's a brat." "Or maybe you're in self-denial.""No I'm not." "Well I don't know for you, but I need her at my party. She is the influence I need for the girls to come in their throngs." Drew said."She ain't the f**king queen of the girls " Nathan scorned. "Why are you being antagonist if you don't care?" The bell rang for recess and the auditorium soon became noisy. "I have to go hand a flyer to her. Are you coming?" He had to focus on his Job now. Which was staying in close proximity and guarding her. So he didn't have a choice. He didn't even want to go to the Cafe now, even though he knew the attention he'd be receiving there. But he felt none of them would be worth it. "Sure. I have to be around her anyway, so I might as well follow through"Drew and Nic surveyed him. "What do you mean ?" And he realized his mistake, almost too late. He had to result to being childish to resolve the situation. "I mean, she was

Cayden walked round the cold marble tiled living room without his shirts, holding a glass of coffee in his hand. He was still in the duplex provided him by Mr. Khosrow. He had just completed a hectic session of training, and had to pull of his clothes. Apparently, the whole master talk was already getting to his head. He walked around the apartment like a king.But as much he loved the whole luxury, it wasn't his till he accomplished his end of the bargain. So he had a big mission ahead of him.Velma walked in accompanied by another maiden. The maiden she met earlier handed her over to this one. Unlike the first maiden, this one was highly unfriendly, at least that’s what Velma witnessed as the olive-skinned mean looking lady didn’t return her pleasantries. Without even glancing twice at Velma, she went, “I suppose you’re here for Master Cayden, follow me.”They went pass the lobbyway that felt chill, like a natural cooling system had been fitted into the walls, then into the living r
