STILL A TOY.
STILL A TOY.Camila could not concentrate in the lecture hall. Her mind kept on returning to Elvis, and she kept trying to guess what Sammy might be discussing with him.'Can he be heartless enough to tell Elvis about everything that happened before? Will Elvis believe him? What should I do?' Her thoughts kept knocking on the door of her mind.No matter how hard she tried to open that door to clear her mind, the door wouldn't budge.That was what the wise man meant when he said that there was no peace for the wicked.Camila couldn't sit down in class to do anything. She stood up from her seat and walked out of the hall with her bag.Camila took out her phone from her bag and called her father, "What is happening, Sweetheart? I am in a meeting.""Dad, it's about Elvis.""Hold on."Camila could hear some undistinguished sounds in the background of the call, followed by some footsteps and then the close of the door."Tell me." Jordan got back on the call. He had just taken an excuse from
BUY A DRESS.
BUY A DRESS.Elvis didn't know how to reply to that. He took the bail and went straight to his request."There will be a party in the mansion on Saturday. Could you be there?""How can I say no when you are inviting me, Vince? Send me the time and location, and I will be there, even if I have to go there in a wheelchair."Elvis's lips stretched in a smile. He knew that the man cared about him, and he was grateful that at least he had someone apart from Sammy."Okay. Can you also come with my cousin? I want him to be here.""I will convince him to go. Don't worry, we will be behind you that day.""Okay, father. See you on Saturday.""See you on Saturday, son."Elvis dropped the call and smiled at Camila, "He said he would be there.""And Carl?" her friends asked him."He will be there.""Yes!" They all hopped in joy."Let's go to the mall for a change of wardrobe. We have to look good," Camila suggested."Come on, let's skip the class and go."They carried their bags and Camila quickly
EVERYONE IS A FOOL.
EVERYONE IS A FOOL.They all turned to the side where the voice came from and were met by two men in all-black clothes. The men were in black suits with black inner shirts.The shoes on their legs were shining so much that the glitter could blind anyone who stared so much.They had sunshades firmly tugging on their faces, and one of their hands was tugged inside the trousers pocket each.Camila took angry steps closer to them. "Who are you?"One of the men shrugged, "Does it matter?""It does. How can you buy the dress I wanted to buy? Can't you see that I had my eyes on the dress?""We couldn't see that. We are not future tellers. How then would we know that you had your eyes on the dress?" One of them asked Camila."If you ask me, I will say that I don't think you could afford the dress to begin with," the other man added."Why can't I? One hundred million is nothing to my father," she bragged."My bad, I thought you were from the slum. You look like a slug." One of the men said to
LAST STRAW.
LAST STRAW."Let me go, let me deal with this bastard." Evans struggled to let go.Jordan was vexed that Evans had lost it. He disengaged himself from Camila and took sharp steps toward Evans. He slapped him, resetting his brain."Do you have any idea of what you have done? You just punched the son of the third-richest man on earth, and his father had been invited to pay us a visit. Do you think his father will let you go if he comes and sees the bruises on his son?""Why not think like me for once in your life?" Jordan spoke to Evans."Why are you even here? I thought you packed out and vowed never to step on your feet here except for unforeseen situations," Edward said to his brother too, in a scold."I'm sorry, okay? He just annoys me with his innocent face when he is not innocent," Evans replied to them.Edward shook his head and went to Elvis, who was still on the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked Elvis.'Do I look okay?' Elvis replied to him in his mind.However, he said nothing o
SISTER-IN-LAW WANTS ME.
SISTER-IN-LAW WANTS ME.Elvis took a step away from Mia, causing her hand to slip away from his body. He gazed at her from head to toe and shook his head, then took lazy steps towards his wardrobe and began to search through it, pretending not to pay any attention to her.Whereas, every of his attention was on her. He seemed to notice every little movement she made, and even the slow eaves of her chest and fall every time she breathed.He noticed even her unspoken words without staring at her.Mia went to where Elvis vacated, in front of his wardrobe, where he was searching for what to wear. She wrapped her hands around his waist and pressed a kiss on his back."Don't you feel what I'm feeling, Sweetheart?" She asked him."Are you not scared that I will snitch on you to my wife and my father-in-law?"Mia shrugged, "Not like you will remember everything after the deal is done. The doctor said you cannot remember things for a long time."Elvis's veins snapped at that.He turned to Mia a
SOMETHING BIG ON SATURDAY.
SOMETHING BIG ON SATURDAY.Elvis decided to ignore both of them. Their cat and rat argument was beginning to twist his brain in an ache.He got out of his seat and moved to the bed. None of the women noticed his change of position, they were too busy to notice anything.He lay on his bed and got himself in bed, and then he released a loud yawn.That got their attention."Do you want to sleep?" They both asked him at the same time and when they realized it, they glared hatefully at each other."I'm tired. My head hurts.""You need the rest then." Mia quickly spoke up, trying to boast that she cared more about Elvis. "Take a lot of break from everything, you will be fine."Elvis nodded. "Thank you, Mia."Mia smiled annoying to Camila, and threw a side look her way. Her lips were pulled out, and she winked at her before replying to Elvis. "You are welcome.""We will excuse you." She said to Elvis again."Please."Mia turned towards the door with her shoulders raised proudly. She felt too
COUSIN IS COLD.
COUSIN IS COLD.It was the Saturday, the day Elvis anticipated so must that for the past few days, he had been making and changing drafts of his plans.The one which took so much of his time, sweat and energy was the question, 'Who should be my prey? Who could make the perfect prey?' And so far so good, he had concluded.Camila.The baby to the family. Loved by her parents and brothers. Hated by her sisters-in-law. With her husband pretending to be a puppet that could be tossed to and fro.'If I can break her to zero, I can break the family then.' Elvis had planned.This day, Elvis was in the bed in the morning, he was not sleeping, but he had his lashes firmly left tired together.His breathing was steady, and one could easily mistake him to be asleep.The door of his room opened, and Ophar Moore led two people, a guy and a lady, into the room.Elvis kept his pretence."Let him sleep for a while, he seems to sleep late due to the excitement of the party. When he wakes up, dress him u
OPENED PAIN.
OPENED PAIN.Elvis let go of Carl's hand and smiled at him. "I don't hate you.""I don't necessarily have a problem with it whether you hate me or not, since I don't cause you any problem."Elvis laughed dryly, "Really? My cousin is a man."Carl's hands dropped beside him and his fingers coiled. He didn't say anything more than he had said. He didn't have to.The little he had spoken was biting his skin to his heart like he used a biting cream.Elvis noticed he was pushing the guy too far, so he took a step back. He didn't want more enemies for himself."Thanks for coming by, anyway. My wife's friends would not stop gushing about you the other day, now I know why.""Why?""Your face. It screams perfection."Carl released himself with that and smiled. "I don't see very much difference between your face and mine."Elvis shrugged and turned to the guy that Ophar brought in, "Let's get me dressed.""Okay, your master." The guy bowed and led Elvis into the walk-in closet they came with.El
NO FIGHTING TODAY.
NO FIGHTING TODAY.Bernard stood to his feet when he saw that the discussion between Carl and Sammy was getting too intense, though he didn't understand what was going on. He got between them and held Sammy's arm."Hey, calm down. Today should be a happy day, you can fight tomorrow, but smile with each other today." He persuaded Sammy. Bernard didn't understand what was going on between Carl and Sammy to warrant Sammy breaking down that much.Sammy did not let go. He held on still like his life depended on his grip.Bernard grabbed his hand, the one holding Carl. "Come on, let go." He forcefully took Sammy's hand away and Carl kept smiling.Carl adjusted his suit and faced Sammy again, "If you want to talk so bad, why don't you call me out? Why do it in front of my Uncle, and my poor cousin, who has no memory? You are being a villain, you know. You're trying to paint me black."Sammy said nothing, just his body shaking like a leaf on the billowing sea. He dropped his hand, which was h
MIA WON.
MIA WON.Gregory stood before the couple, "Sorry, I'm late." He apologised.Camila rolled her eyes, "Not like you are very important for the occasion, you're not our family."Gregory nodded, "Yes, you're right.""Then, excuse us, we are supposed to be dancing right now, not exchanging words with insignificant people like you, doc."Gregory's lips pulled with a thin smile, then the smile dropped. It pulled again, then he moved aside for them, gesturing towards the dance floor, "Please."Elvis sighed, but said nothing. He let himself off with Camila.They began to dance in each other's arms.Elvis's eyes kept on swaying around the crowd whose eyes were on them. He saw Gregory standing by a corner.He didn't look good, he didn't look bad either.He saw Carl, who was not concentrating on them. He was on his phone.He saw his father, discussing with Jordan. They laughed hysterically together and he wondered what they were talking about.Elvis couldn't see the main person he was searching f
