< ICE CREAM PALLOR >

After the entertaining scene at Asher’s school, Brandon brought the duo to the icecream store, it was Asher’s request to come out with them.

Presley wore a sincere smile as she came back to take her seat beside Asher. She’d gone to the restroom to fix herself and then make a call to Easton which got her blushing stupidly

“Mn. Chocolate” She pinched Asher’s cheeks and he laughed cutely smearing his face with more

“Careful.. it’ll stain your shirt” She wiped his face and placed the napkin on his chest

Brandon moved his eyes from his phone to see what they were doing. He couldn’t help but notice how cute they were, especially Presley…

“What are you looking at?!” She snapped when she caught him staring

“Looking at my son…As it’s the only thing worth my sight in this place” He retorted and she smirked

“Obviously, if you look at me you’ll go blind, I’m too gorgeous for your weak eyes..tch” She scoffed and he exhaled feeling defeated

He was at loss of words.

“I think you should remarry” She suddenly said, he gazed at her and she shrugged

“What gives you the right to suggest that” He asked slightly annoyed

” I’m sorry for prying but you saw what happened back there. He was bullied for not having a mother low-key” She whisper yelled

“I’m here for him”

” Are you? You were late to his school function. But I wasn’t despite the traffic..”

Brandon smirked and leaned forward

” Are you suggesting I marry you?”

“Bloody a**. Ewwwww, no” She made funny faces and he frowned, “You want more? Just one more” She looked over at Asher and when he got what he wanted, Presley returned her gaze to Brandon

“I have a boyfriend… and I definitely will not marry you even though…All I’m saying is, there’s certain things only his mom would satisfy. He’s smart to know what he wants. Infact all kids are smart..” She
trailed, tightening her fists

Brandon saw the gesture, he raised a brow, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah” She nodded forcing a smile

“Are you crying?” Asher dropped his icecream and jumped into her arms

“No… something fell into my eye, it’s paining and that’s why I’m sad” She sniffed and Asher pouted like he could feel the pain

Brandon kept looking at her, he knew there was more to her tears, much more and he would admit, he wanted to know about Presley Martinez

“I’ve got a session in the next 50 minutes, can you give me a ride there?” She asked and he nodded slowly

Brandon paid for their icecream, then they left in his car to the court

< HEAVEN’S RESTAURANT : KITCHEN >

“Adam!” Tasha stormed into the restaurant’s kitchen fuming angrily

Adam was seated on a stool with his workers forming a circle around him. They were having their usual gossip moment but her presence made them disperse going back to their positions

Adam held back his excitement of seeing her, instead he made a smug face

“What are you doing back here…do you need anything?” He asked and she pressed her lips together

“I…” She started thinking of what to say, it was her mistake coming here anyway

“If there’s nothing, you may leave” Adam said disappointedly, he thought she was finally back to her senses bit it seems he was expecting too much

“You never loved me” She deadpanned and he scoffed

“You ended things..so why bringing them up again?” He asked out of annoyance

“So you’ve moved on?”

“Isn’t that what you wanted? Me out of your life?” He asked casually and she almost burst into tears

“Rania was right.. you don’t care about how I feel at all…”

“Rania…I hope she told you how she came to seduce me last night too. Tasha, I’m still hurting from the heartbreak you caused me, right now I don’t want to see your face cos I’m beginning to hate it. How can you be so gullible to let that demon control your thoughts…I hope you realize what her intentions are sooner else it might be too late” He said seriously and walked out on her

“Seduce him?” She whispered utterly confused

“Ma’am, leave the kitchen, this is an admin area.”

One of the chefs said to her, she nodded and walked out slowly

< HOSPITAL>

Jason just got back from checking a patient, he heaved a sigh as he sat on his chair.

“God,I need a woman over this desk” He said swirling the chair about. He tapped his fingers in the desk aimlessly, he was about placing a call to one of the nurses when his eyes caught sight of an envelope on the desk

“What’s this.” He picked it up and on going through it, it was Kelsey’s leave notice.
“She can’t just leave” He muttered feeling down, he’d always had a crush on Kelsey ever since she became Royce’s secretary.
Those he was a playboy, he hoped to change for her sake but when he learned she had a boyfriend and was head over heels for him, he decided to ki*ll his infatuation but…he was in too deep

And now, the thought of not seeing her behind that desk is getting a toll on him

“If she leaves I’ll lose my mind” He hissed and stood up grabbing his car keys

“Doctor.” A nurse entered the office and without waiting for his reply, she started undressing

“Not today Mabel..”

“But..I want you, I’m so horny right now” Mabel pushed but he squeezed his face and pushed her off the way

“F*ck yourself. You can do that can’t you?” He uttered without sparing her a glance and went out if the office

“To hell with her boyfriend. I gotta make her mine” Jason fumed jealously when the thought of Kelsey and her boyfriend crossed his mind

••••

< KEL’S PLACE >

Kelsey’s flight was scheduled to depart in the evening. She’s packing her things and getting her bags ready to leave. Her boyfriend already broke her heart into bits and now he’s in jail, she had nothing here so she decided to leave.

He was always after the money she made and not her love, he gambled and drunk till he began hitting her like a punching bag. She can’t take it anymore.

Kelsey had a scarf over her head as she packed. She was still putting things in place when a knock came at the door

“Who is it?” She whispered fearfully, when she didn’t get a response, she opened to take a peek, welcomed to a big shock

Her… boyfriend who was supposed to be in jail?

Kelsey shivered, her throat went dry instantly

“You..Donny?” She stuttered, tears rolled down her face

Donny smirked evilly, looking down at her with bloodshot eyes. He entered and locked the door then faced her and caressed her face sensually

“You had the guts to lock me up. Sweet thing, I thought we were in love?” He asked and she bit her lip to control the sobs

“How did you get out?” She asked backing away, he went after her till she sat on the couch

Donny bent to her level and grabbed her thigh, he ripped off the gown causing her to whimper and cry loudly

“No, please…” A slap landed on her face that almost made her lose sight

“Before you leave, I’m gonna have a taste of this. You’ve deprived me long enough Kel’s. And I got my homeboy to bail me out, what did you think, that I’ll remain in there forever? Well you guessed wrong cos no one’s going to save you now” He laughed manically while she cried helplessly

“Leave me alone Donny, I hate you..” she wiggled but his weight came crashing down on her, she could see the lust in his eyes and she knew he was going to do it

“Please..let me go. I’m sorry for locking you up..”

“Shut up!” He ripped the dress from her chest and slapped her again, her lips bursted and blood dropped

He got up from her body and started hitting her continously till she passed out. He then took off his pants and shirt. He was almost stark naked when the door burst open revealing a very angry looking Royce and behind him was Sierra, she was panting, obviously because she ran

Yes, she told Royce why Kelsey quit and he got furious, lashed out at her, drove down here recklessly and technically broke the door to Kelsey’s apartment

All she had been doing for the past few minutes is running after him

Royce’s eyes darkened when he saw Kelsey unconscious on the couch, the marks on her body and her ripped dress

“Who are you and why’d you ruin my fun” Donny seethed, but the punch to his face sent three of his teeth flying out of his mouth

“bas***d!!” Royce threw him across the room and his skull collided with the wall. Blood gushed out but Royce cared less, he glanced at Kelsey’s pale and unconscious body, it was enough to trigger past memories

His breathing became ragged and heavy, when he looked back at Donny all he could see was the one man he’ll always hate

Roy Evans! That shameless woman beater

❝ Please stop…❞

❝ I’m going to ki*ll you… stupid woman ❞

❝Roy…❞

❝ I hate you around me, just die..❞

❝Please, please…❞

The flashbacks of how his dad hit his mom washed him over that he didn’t realize when Donny went unconscious and how bloodied he was.

She always cried and begged him to stop..but he didn’t! Roy was a monster but to the world he was perfect. He was an angel that people prayed God would keep blessing. If only they knew…

“I f*cking hate you Roy..” He seethed as he punched daylight out of Donny

“Royce…stop it.” Sierra called out to him while trying to call for medical assistance, she wrapped Kelsey up already

“Royce!” She shouted and he didn’t budge, Sierra started panicking, she ran towards the exit, bumped into Jason

“Jason..help quick” She pulled him along to the room

Jason froze when he saw Kelsey looking battered and pale. His world came crumbling, he blinked and blinked more. He didn’t even notice Royce at the corner almost murdering someone

“No… Kelsey” Without wasting time, he heaped her in his arms and ran out like a crazy person

“Royce!” Sierra held his hand in the air bravely though she knew it wasn’t the right thing given his state of mind

The man on the floor was dead already. She quickly checked his pulse and breathed in relief– He’s still there

“Royce…look at me” she held Royce’s face in her palm and kissed him briefly on the lips

“He’s not Roy Evans…He deserves it but he’s not Roy” She whispered and his eyes widened, had he been saying that out loud?

He suddenly grew angry, she was pitying him and he didn’t like it..

Sierra was worried and curious.. One question was ringing in her mind

“Did Royce grow up in an abusive home?”

“F*ck!” Royce cussed angrily and pushed her away, she lost balance and fell on the floor.

“Ahh” She winced but he didn’t spare her a glance, he stormed out angrily instead

••••

< TWO HOURS LATER…>

Presley stormed out of the court fuming, she didn’t even wait to speak to her client, Mr. Barnes. She left Rosie to do that, it was obviously the worst court session in her life.

Standing face off with her rival and college enemy, Desmond Shaw. He didn’t leave any stone unturned to making her feel insignificant and the judge just kept ruling her off

She literally said nothing throughout the whole session. How would she face Connor now, and the other lawyers in the firm?

Knowing Desmond, he was going to make this encounter news within a day..

“Presley!” Someone pulled her to his hard chest and she gasped coming back to earth

“You can go die but not in front of me” She looked up and got lost in his hazel eyes
Brandon sighed and left her waist, she was about going on the highway, and if he wasn’t around, she might’ve been in the morgue now

Somehow, his heart couldn’t bare the thought of that..

Presley stopped looking at him and darted to her surrounding, she blinked, how did she get to the highway…she was in court just now

“My God…I’m too young to die” She muttered and Brandon scoffed

” You’re welcome” He said sarcastically and held her hand taking her to his car

Asher was asleep in the backseat

“You waited?” She asked

“He asked me to” He shrugged referring to Asher then started the engine

< EVENING: EASTON’S APARTMENT >

“Yeah.. hmm”

“Oh f*ck!”

“Ohhh… baby you’re so big”

Miley moaned wildly as she bounced on Easton’s d*ck. After a lot of attempts to seduce him, she did and in the end, she’s got him cornered

“Your d**k is mine…mine” She said posessively. Swiftly, she was thrown on the bed with her fat a$$ up

“I hate you Miley…you want my d**k right?…get ready for the roughest s*x in your life”

“Anything you give baby…make it fast please…just f*ck it like you own it” She said seductively and he groaned thrusting deep into her cvnt

“Easton!!”

âž·âž·âž·âž·âž·

Presley had a small brown stuffed teddy in her hand as she walked to her apartment. Brandon won it for her at the park though with his usual deep frown. Energetic Asher made him play the claw game

Presley stopped in front of Easton’s door and made to knock but stopped when she recalled what he’d told her earlier

~ I’ll be home late, don’t stay up okay?~

“I miss you..” She pouted and searched her bag but realized she didn’t have his house keys so she went into her apartment instead

She placed a call to the girls immediately then took off her blazer, she placed the teddy on the couch and chuckled before going to get herself a glass of pineapple juice

“Heyy…” Chloe answered

“Wassup baby C?”

“I’m good, you? How was court?”

“Adjourned…it was Desmond”

” What?” Chloe screamed, she also knows of the bad blood between the two, Presley hummed softly, “Sierra didn’t pick?”

“Obviously…she’s staying at Royce’s place now, I’m sure they’re cuddling and kissing and…f*cking” Chloe giggled and Presley spat her drink

” She never told me…”

“Oops…That was a lie. Okay, it’s not a lie” Chloe laughed and Presley scoffed feeling left out.

“Hold on, I got a text” She dropped the glass and picked her phone to check the message

Ûž MAYBE IF YOU DIDN’T SPEND YOUR TIME PICKING FIGHTS WITH ME, YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD A FEW COMEBACKS TODAY IN COURT…. JUST SAYING Ûž

It was from oldie enemy AKA Brandon

She gasped and sent : F*ck you!

Slowly, a grin formed on her face and she looked at the teddy

“He’s hopeless” She said

“Who’s hopeless?” Chloe was still on the call

“Uh… Easton?”

“Geez, even Sierra has a man around her, what am I huh?” Chloe whined and Presley laughed

“You’re a pencil…in the hands of the creator. Isn’t that awesome?”

“Presley!!” Chloe called and she laughed harder

•••

< NIGHT: ROYCE’S MANSION >

Sierra had her dinner of fresh orange juice and panini alone in the living room. The maids came around and did their work but left immediately.

She was bored, guilty and worried. Most of all she was missing Royce despite being in the same building as him

Since they left Kelsey’s house, he locked himself in his room, he didn’t even answer her calls, she’s worried about his fever, what if it goes worse again

Her mind wondered to Kelsey and she sighed, what if she didn’t tell Royce about her condition. She thought Kelsey left for Alaska already

What has she done. She’s never felt so f*cked up before. Sierra stopped walking when she reached Royce’s door, after few minutes of staring blankly at it, she placed her ear against the door.

No sounds!

“Is he still in there?” She asked, just then the door opened and she stumbled with her head landing on his chest

Her eyes went to his bandaged knuckles then his muscular arms, she gulped and moved back a bit. He’s wearing a singlet and looking super hot.

Royce pulled her in and pinned her back to the door trapping her between his arms

“Did you have dinner?” He asked huskily and she blinked, heaving a deep sigh

“Hmm”

“I’m sorry…for pushing you..I lost it then” He apologized staring deeply into her eyes

“Hmm” She looked away but he used a finger to make her face him again

“Hmmm…does it still hurt?”

“Heyy” She snapped glaringly, with his hand held up. He was almost touching her butt.

Royce smiled, “I like it when you’re feisty”

“Hmm..”

“Stop doing that. Kiss me instead, like you did earlier” He said still maintaining the eye contact and her breath hitched as a million butterflies erupted in her stomach. Her face became ridiculously red

“That was…I just couldn’t help..” She stopped when he kept smiling

“I just can’t help it too” He said and before she could fathom his words, his lips came crashing on hers, her eyes widened to the size of a watermelon

Involuntarily, her right hand found its way to his hair while the other his back

She closed her eyes lost in estacy as he sucked on her lips, his tongue swooped continuously on her teeth waiting for her to open up, she found herself moving her lips against his letting the passion take over

She’d think of the downsides later, but now…hell yeah!

“Royce” She moaned and deepened the kiss, as she melted into his arms.
