"Yes madam." the maid answered.

"Okay. You can leave." Mom said to the maid. The maid left and mom turned to dad.

"You can sit down now." Mom told dad and he sat.

"Why did the maid need to disinfect the sofa?" Dad asked mom as she sat beside him and I sat on a different sofa.

"Tamira brought in some filth earlier today." Mom said.

'What filth?" Dad asked.

Knowing that mom was referring to Devon, I had to oppose immediately. "Devon is a human being, not filth mom," I said to her.

"Yes, a very dirty human being." Mom said.

"You brought someone inside the mansion in my absence?" Dad asked me.

"And not just anyone dear. Tamira brought a poor dirty nobody into the mansion. He didn't even have any footwear on. He left his footprints everywhere." Mom said.

Dad ignored her.

"Why?" he asked me.

"Dad, I hit him with my car by accident and that's why I brought him inside. Just to help him out and make sure he was okay. We are friends now." I explained.

"That was very sweet of you dear. I am proud to call you my daughter." Dad said.

"What?!" Mom exclaimed.

"Are you going to support that?!" Mom questioned dad.

"Why not? She is doing the right thing? And what's wrong with her making friends?" Dad replied to mom.

"Nothing. As long as it is people of her class," she told dad then turned her attention to me and stood on her feet.

"I don't want to see you anywhere near that man or else you will regret it." Mom said.

"What will you do mom?! What will you do?! I can mix up with whoever I want and there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it!" I yelled.

"Tamira do not raise your voice at me! I am your mother! I forbid you from going to the poor people's side of the city again! I will cut all your allowance and fire you if you repeat the same mistake!" Mom yelled.

"How did you know where I was?" I asked her.

"That doesn't matter. All I know is that you will not be seen anywhere near those poor people. You should know what level you are and those people are not quarter way up to you. We are the richest and most powerful family ever known. One day the paparazzi will take photos and your stupidity will dent our image." Mom argued.

"You aren't the boss of me mother," I said.

"I am," she said.

"No, you are not. You are just a leech feeding off of dad. Remember you were not rich when dad married you." I stated.

"Tamira!" Dad exclaimed.

Mother stepped forward and slapped me. I held on to my cheek, teary-eyed, and stared back at her.

"Don't you ever speak that way of me? I am your mother and I own you. I don't ever want to see that poor man near you again and that is final." she warned.

"Watch me," I said and went upstairs. I grabbed my handbag and went down the stairs again.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Mom yelled but I ignored her. I stood beside my car and was about to call my driver when something suddenly came up in my mind.

The driver. The driver is the one giving my mother information about me.

I decided to take a cab instead and I told the security guard to open the gate. He did just that and I flagged a cab.

The cab took me to Devon's place. I looked in through his window but there was no one inside, not even his uncle. Just then I received a phone call from one of my friends and I picked up.

"Where are you girl? We are waiting for you in front so we can all go in together." her voice sounded from the other side of the phone. It was a noisy background.

"Hold on just a little. I will be there soon." I said and hung up.

I returned to the cab and directed him to the club I was talking about. I still wondered where Devon and his uncle must have gone to. I paid for the cab and came out of it. 

Thankfully, I was already dressed up and ready to go before my mother got on my nerves. If I didn't, then I would have arrived here looking like a mess instead.

"You didn't come with your car?" one of my friends who spotted me approaching them asked.

"No. I preferred to take a cab right now." I replied.

"Another issue with your mom?" she asked.

"Yeah. That same thing about me hanging with people my level." I said to her.

"You know, your mother isn't necessarily wrong." another friend said.

"Who's side are you on? My side or my mother's side? Let's just go in." I said to him, in an angry tone.

"Whatever girl. Just keep it on the low. This place is too dangerous for you to get drunk." she replied to me, knowing my weakness whenever I get angry.

All three of us stepped into the club with me in the middle and we instantly became the center of attention.

"This is way too easy." one friend whispered.

"It's almost tiring." the second said.

"Just pay no attention to them for tonight. I'm buying. Today's fun is a girls' night out. need to mess around with dumb guy's pocket tonight I said and smirked.

We went to the bar and sat there in front of it. 

"A bottle of diamond jubilee for the three of us," I said. The bar attendant looked at me in total shock.

"Uh... Miss? That is the most expensive we have here." the bar attendant said.

"You think I don't know how much my alcohol is?" I asked, staring him down angrily.

"Miss, just to be clear, the alcohol you are asking for costs two hundred thousand dollars. Are you sure about it?" the bar attendant asked me and I raised my hand to slap him.

My friend held my hand down. "What is wrong with you Tamira? Just calm down a bit." s,e said.

"If I were you, I'd do as she says and quit it with the questions." the second friend said.

The bar attendant brought out my order and took out three glasses. He filled all three glasses and kept the bottle there for us.

I grabbed my glass and raised it. "Cheers girls," I said.

"Cheers!" the both of them replied in unison. For a while, we sat and just enjoyed the booming music but then two rich-looking men came and offered my friends to dance. They both took the hands of the guys and said they'd be back.

After a while, a good-looking man dressed in a suit that screamed a million dollars came and sat down beside me.

    "Okay. I'll go now." I said to mother. "Be careful," she replied as she waved at me. I went from enough and then hid among the trees before changing into city clothes. I found my eyes in the city and although I was amazed at what it looked like, I felt familiar with it. I breathed in some air and then coughed. What was that? I turned and saw a car. Smoke was coming out of the other end. I ran away from it and I almost got hit by another one which was passing by. I ran out of the way and after I did, I saw the car reverse and stop. A door opened and I ran into hiding. I watched from my hiding spot as a man came out of the car and began to yell. "Tamira," he said. I watched him give up and return to the car. The car drove away and I came out of where I was hiding. Was that man going to run me over on purpose? And how crazy can the people here get? Just came out and shouted then returned to his car. Strange. I strolled around the city, making sure not to forget the road I took to

    ... *FLASHBACK* TAMIRA POV: Mrs Wilson jammed me off the road and as my car crashed, some part of it jammed into my stomach. I crept out of my car in great pain. I already regretted trying to escape on my own in the first place but maybe it's better than another day with that witch. I lay on my back on the floor and the last image I saw was Mrs Wilson's face staring down at me as she stood over me triumphantly. My eyes shut down and all around me was nothing but darkness. *After that moment*I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. "Where... Where am I?" I questioned as I sat up and placed my palm on my aching forehead. I looked around from where I was seating up and saw that I was in some sort of shelter that looked like huts from tribes in the old days. I tried to get off what I took to be the bed but my stomach pains struck and I screamed. A woman ran into the hut."Are you alright?!" she exclaimed. I shifted away from her as she stepped closer. "Who are you?" I a

    "Devon stop! Stop it!" Jason shouted and dragged me to himself. I began to punch Jason in the stomach but Jason held me tight in a hug. Tears escaped my eyes and soon I weakened. "I love her so much Jason. How can I live without her? What good is the money without her?" I whispered. I knew Jason was in pain from the punches I gave him but he did not bring it up, "you have to let her go Devon. You have to." Jason said to me, softly and I cried. "She is not dead. And I will find her." I said. I parted from Jason and looked at Mrs Wilson one last time. "Let's go," I said to them and turned away, heading out of the building. It was another one-hour drive before I reached what was now known to be my mansion instead of the Wilsons'. Mr Hamilton had already gone back home. I was about to walk into my home when Jason stopped me, "if you want I can stay back. Just to keep you company." Jason said to me. "Thank you. But I think I'll stay alone." I replied. Jason stood there until I closed

    With the speed I was in, it didn't take long before I reached the police station. I hopped out of my car and pushed away the officer who wanted to approach me. I passed the gates and entered the main building. "Where is she?!" I asked the first officer I saw in the police station. "Where is who?" he questioned me. "Mrs Wilson! Where is she?!" I answered. "Why are you looking for her sir?" the officer asked me, not minding how I barged in. I left the officer standing there and went in to look through the cells. "I know you are here Mrs Wilson Wilson! Show yourself right now!" I shouted. I searched all the cells but failed to find her. I came out and walked straight to the officer I had left and I grabbed him by the collar. "How come she is not in there?! So you people dared to release her?! Die she find extra money to bribe you with?!" I yelled at the officer. "Call down sir!" the officer exclaimed. "You dare tell me to calm down?!" I replied, ready to throw a punch at his fa

    "Me Devon Wilson." someone among them said my name. All the people present in the meeting got up and did not stop staring at me. "We never thought we would be in the same room with the next big thing," he spoke again. "Yes. The next big thing." Mr Hamilton said and walked towards me. After reaching where I was, Mr Hamilton saw Gale and Jason standing t the door. Mr Hamilton glared at Gale and then turned to me, "Sir what are you doing here?" Mr Hamilton asked me. "I came to ask you about Tamira," I answered. "Right now? Mr Devon, I thought I already told you about it. What happened in the past." Mr Hamilton said, almost in a whisper. We both spoke in a tone that we wouldn't be heard by the people from the meeting. "Not that Mr Hamilton. I need to find her right now." I said to Mr Hamilton. "What?!" Mr Hamilton exclaimed and then placed his hand over his mouth when he realized he shouted it. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Mr Hamilton said and came out of the meeting room wit

    Just as I said that to Jason, I received a call. "Who is it?" Jason asked me. "I don't know. It doesn't say." I answered Jason. I answered the call and placed the phone on my ear, "hello?" I said. "Hello, Devon. How is your new life treating you?" the caller said. I recognized the voice to be Grenade's and I parked the car. "You bastard. Where are you?" I said to Grenade. "Who's that Devon?" Jason asked again. "It's Grenade," I answered Jason. "By the tone of your voice, I can tell you already know." Grenade said to me. "Yes, I know! How long did you think you could hide your real personality? So you were working with Mrs Wilson the entire time?!" I replied. I heard Grenade laugh from the other side of the phone, "I was once loyal but where did that get me? Nowhere! I worked next in command to Mr Cranston and what did that old fool do?! He gave all his money, all his property, to some newbie!" Grenade yelled. "And you. You of all people! You got all that and didn't even thin
