[ ARRESTED ]

Eve tried everything possible to scratch Sierra’s face. While at home, she couldn’t sit with the thought that this “two-faced b***h” snatched Royce from her so effortlessly so she decided to pay her a deadly visit

“F*cking die!!” She screamed as she kept throwing punches and slaps at Sierra’s face. Sierra’s hands were held up as she blocked the attempts.

She was underneath Eve and since her attacks were brutal, she had no way out

“You stole him from me…you..how dare you?” Eve kept ranting

“Royce is mine, stay away from him you motherf*cker… aren’t you ashamed of hitting on my boyfriend?”

“Get off me you mad thing…” Sierra screeched pushing her off with everything in her, she was breathless, brows creased with anger.

An old couple who lived next door had seen the ladies bawling so they decided to come by and help, they got hold of Eve trying to calm her down while she struggled to break free

Her hair was disheveled, and her face squeezed in anger. Royce was hers and nobody could take her place in his life, so she thought

Sierra got up from the floor, touching her face tracing it down to her cheek where a scratch was made by Eve’s excessive long nails.

“Let me go buffoons..” Eve shrugged them off and charged at Sierra again but this time, two brain-resetting slaps collided with her cheek sending her to the ground involuntarily

“…” The old couple just looked on, wondering how strong young people are

“If you had a problem with his choices you should have asked him. What I won’t take is your dry feeble unfortunate hands on my face..” Sierra wanted to slap her again but hung midair as she found everything childish

Why fight for a man who wasn’t hers in the first place,but if Eve was here then did it mean…?

She casted a wild glance at Eve whimpering on the floor with bloodshot eyes, then slammed the door terribly to their faces

The old couple held their chest in shock, they glanced at Eve on the floor before walking away leaving her to her misery

Sierra picked her phone from the floor and switched it off as she went to the direction of her room, her breathing was distorted and heavy as the incident past came rushing to her head

She scoffed, stripping off her clothes till she was stark n*ked, then took her alluring body to the bathroom where she immersed herself in the jacuzzi tub that was filled with cold water

All the tolerance, special treatment and wittiness from Royce, everything they shared haunted her as she immersed further. This time, after what Eve displayed out there, Sierra thought only about herself.

After a while, she sat up with a gasp, the water cascading from her face, she smiled, “Come back soon”

She then chuckled and went back into the water

< ROYCE’S MANSION >

Wren sprang up the moment she saw Eve barge into the house. She was crying as she ran into her arms

“Leigh what happened, why are you crying?” Wren was worried, she rubbed her back

Eve sniffed, “S.she hit me”

“Who?”

“That stinking PA that Royce won’t fire. Mom she’s taking him away from me” She cried and Wren sighed shaking her head

“There’s one thing in life Eve, love isn’t forced. And Royce is not a baby to be misled, if he doesn’t give you the attention you feel you deserve then, let him go” She advised and Eve moved away from her with eyes dilated

“What? I can’t let him go…I’ve loved him for a very long time, she’s causing a rift between us, why can’t you see that” She snapped as more tears rolled down her cheeks

Wren pouted, “Oh baby…stop being hard on yourself, he’s my son but he’s not worth you at least…I know you’ll find a better man out there…”

“NO!!!…I want Royce!!” Eve cut her off and ran upstairs leaving Wren stunned for a moment

“Jesus…Everleigh, calm down and listen to me please..” She ran after her

“Go away from me!” Eve yelled from her room. Wren knocked on the door, she kept doing it till the door burst open.

“Ever?” She called but Eve ignored her, sauntering away with her luggages, she stopped in front of Royce’s door staring at it intensely

He never kissed her, never held her, never had long laughs with her, never let her in there willingly, never worried about her like a lover should…but he is on a rollercoaster of emotions with his PA?

The mere thought of that was enough to smash the bits of her already shattered heart and make her cry even more, she turned and hugged Wren

“It’s not fair..”

“I’m sorry hunny. This is all my fault, I shouldn’t have forced you into this. But I can’t let you continue living like this, neither will I let Royce let his love slide. I’m sorry”

“He loves her…why?”

“Some things can’t be controlled Ever… I’m sorry”

‘I can control some things…I will…Royce is mine, mine, mine!!’ she chanted in her head while clenching her jaws.

She broke the hug and hurried out of the house.

Wren sighed with a heavy heart, she opened the door to Royce’s room and entered

“Now that you’ve found the girl…when will the grandkids come” She whined walking around the room aimlessly

She picked some files from the bed and stacked them properly

“Sierra and Royce…well that’s a good match…both have unique names.” She laughed, “Silly me!”

She walked to the door, “I wish you Leigh, all the best in life, even the best man since my Royce proved to be a lovestruck douch…I just hope you don’t take this personal” She closed the door then went downstairs to continue watching the documentary that was airing

✨✨✨✨

Adam’s bike roared as it came to a halt in front of Chloe’s residence, he was all smiles while Chloe got down carefully also giggling. She had a bag, inside it was a cute white cat, he’d gone to get with her

“That was a wild ride,” she took off the helmet and gave it to him

“How’s that thing doing in there?” Adam asked and she brought the bag in front of him, he did the zipper and stroked the cat’s body tenderly

Chloe’s eyes diverted from the bag to his face, she bit her lip as she stared. They spent the day together, riding on his bike around town and she has to admit it was her best day ever – with a guy

“Do you need anything else?” Adam asked raising his eyes to look at her, “Are you hungry?”

“Mn..mn” She shook her head

“Sure?” He started the bike

“Sure” She pouted moving back a little, he revved the bike around and wore the helmet

“Have a good night then, you can dream of me if you please, I don’t mind, see ya tomorrow” He winked and drove off

Chloe’s lips parted as she stared in the direction he drove away.

“Bye” She mouthed, then looked at the bag in her hand, the cat was making meowing sounds

“Oh Mama’s gonna feed you now…what should I call you..” She deliberated as she walked into the building

“Whiskers…nah, I’m not 70…Lily? nah, too vague…Sierra? Haha…she’ll ki*ll me if she finds out…” She laughed out loud. She was about opening the door to her apartment when she suddenly thought about Adam

“Damn…what the heck” She blinked and shook her head

✨✨✨✨

< TORTURE HOUSE >

“Let me go! Who the hell are you!!”

“Someone save me!!”

Miley’s cries of distress filled the empty cold room. She was tied to a chair by her hands and legs right in the middle of the room, her eyes were blinded with a black cloth

“No one will save you. If I hadn’t agreed to hit her, I wouldn’t have been here. Look, they beat me up so bad” Miley gasped as she heard the voice, it belonged to one of the staff she paid to hit Presley in the hotel

The young woman agreed just because she got a huge tip off, and now she was weakly cowering in a corner of the room. She had bruises all over her ripped dress. She can’t even stand if she wants to

She was whipped almost a million times mercilessly.

“I paid you didn’t I? So why did you expose me. Idiot!! I’ll ki*ll you once I’m outta here” Miley snapped

“Good luck with that” the woman sniffed and Miley hissed as her hate on Presley increased

“She’ll pay for this” She gritted

First, she was paraded n*ked in public not too long ago and now..some jackass had the guts to do this to her?

While she kept struggling, a well built man walked in with a lady by his side, she looked like the devil’s own torturer. Her short hair sprawled on her face, mascara filled eyes lit like an owl’s. She held a long whip and a cane in her hand

“Help…Easton!!” Miley screamed out and the lady smirked

“She looks fragile. I bet she won’t survive it”

The man frowned, “I hate weak people”

“W-who are you. Please help me, please, I’m not supposed to be here” Miley pleaded

“You’re not but you happen to mess with our boss’s woman…so…” The lady trialed and started straightening the whip

“Boss’s woman? I don’t know who your boss is…please let me go” Miley cried feigning ignorance

“Such a liar! I’ll let you go but after a thousand whips of my sweet candy here…like the boss instructed…so stay still” The lady grinned evilly and threw the whip sideways forcibly, the swoosh sound from it sent Miley to the gates of hell. Her skin was covered with goosebumps as she imagined how she’d be after A THOUSAND WHIPS

“I’ll watch” The man smirked and sat down far away, enough to get a better view of the torture

“Please don’t…ahhh!!!!” Miley screamed as the whip came in contact with her body

The lady laughed, “I love the sound of that” She whipped again curling it round her body and heartlessly pulling it off.

“Nooooo!!” Miley wailed

Outside, Liam sighed returning back to the car, he pitied Miley but wondered why his boss was so intent on punishing her. She hurt Presley but his boss had never budged so much for a woman since his late wife passed

His boss isn’t in love with the lawyer, right?

When he got behind the wheel, as if on cue, Brandon’s call came in

“Sir?”

“Is it done?”

“Yes sir”

“Good. Don’t let Presley know about this. And, go get Mark from the airport, that wacko is back from wherever he went, probably to frustrate my life” Brandon grumbled forcing out a short laugh from Liam’s lips

“Yes sir” Liam dropped the call and ignited the engine, he casted one last glance at the building before driving away

✨✨✨✨

The next morning, Presley just returned from her morning workout. She was about opening the door to her apartment when Easton’s burst open

He gasped when he saw her, he’d been trying to get across to her but she keeps shutting him out

“Pres… Please let’s talk”

“Are we singing right now?”

“I’m sorry…she seduced me, please hear me out” He pleaded but she was done. Sierra already put a seal by beating him up, she had a faint smile grace her face when she saw the bruises. Her bestie always delivers

“I don’t need your explanation Easton, it turns out I never really knew who you were. And I guess I don’t wanna know, so we’re done! Thanks for being there when I needed you. Good day” She forced a smile and pushed her way into the room.

“Presley…please” He called out but she ignored him going through the package a “certain” someone sent to her

Cookies!

“Why is Brandon Campbell being sweet?” She chuckled as she devoured the short cakes

✨✨✨

< TWO DAYS LATER >

Chloe fed her cat – Valley– that’s what after much deliberation from the three girls, decided to call it. After making sure it was eating, she grabbed her bag and threw it over her shoulder then did her hair in a ponytail.

Chloe was dressed in a faded boyfriend jeans, and black baggy t-shirt, she wore sneakers on her feet. At first glance she’d be considered a teenager, she fixed her headphones over her ear and waved at the cat before leaving her apartment

There are a few things she needs to get from the mall down the street so she didn’t bother taking her car. As she walked, Maroon 5’s “Moves like Jagger” boomed into her ear, it was groovy so she’d stop and show off her top-notch dance moves at intervals

Most people who saw how she danced made videos tagging her “the queen of smooth”

“I should dance more often” She smiled as she entered the mall, she picked what she wanted, paid for it and left only to bump…get bumped into intentionally by someone

Someone she had no grudges against. She flashed a smile at her ex-boyfriend, Wyatt. He was with a girl who kept looking at her irritatedly

“You should use your eyes the right way especially when the sun’s up” She picked her goods and was about leaving when the girl dragged her back

“Apologize!”

“What?”

“Yes Chloe apologize to my girlfriend” Wyatt kissed the girl in front of her so she would feel bad but…nah!

“Are you both drunk or high? Why would I apologise when your face snatched girlfriend here bumped into me” Chloe felt disgusted and it angered Wyatt

“Just because I dumped you doesn’t mean you try cheap ways to get me to notice you, it would never work. I love my girl…please stop creating a scene and apologize”

The girl smirked and folded her arms while looking at Chloe’s dazed expression

“You must be high on poop, I swear, now let me go or else…”

“you’re fragile Chloe, you make empty threats”

“She’s so classless right babe, how did you date this thing…eww” The girl commented and Chloe’s anger level rose, if it were Presley or Sierra, they would let it slide or mock hell out of the latter but Chloe had issues controlling her anger and this was that time

How dare Wyatt say such things to make her feel stupid? And his so called girlfriend? She looked like a snake with an undigested carcass in her. So shabby!

She won’t let them go scot free

The next moment, she had her feet connect against the girl’s face with perfect symmetry– like a kungfu master

“Chloe!” Wyatt fumed but got his own share, his was worse as she literally pounced on him

“Ahh…Chloe!” Hw struggled underneath her like a woman

A few people gathered, some laughed at the scene while others made videos

Two cops came to separate the fight but Chloe ended up hitting one of them, capital offence!

“Ma’am, we’re going to have to detain you at the station. For hitting an officer and causing unrest in a public space” Officer Crawford said as he pulled a disheveled looking Chloe off Wyatt’s body

“What? Unrest? They were the ones flaunting their relationship in my face. They should be arrested, not me!” She said at the top of her voice throwing her legs about, unluckily, it hit the other officer again and she gasped

“You hit him again…the more you do, the more hours you’d be spending in the cell”

“Wait…that was not intentional. You can’t take me to the police station, I have a cat at home…Wait!!!” She yelled and Crawford stopped pulling her, she heaved a deep breath

“I’ll come along but I gotta do something important real quick…” She smiled cheekily going to stand in front of Wyatt’s girlfriend, she punched her in the face sending her down like a piece of paper

“Who’s classless now!” She laughed and willingly twirled hopping to the police van

Crawford blinked taking out his phone to call for an ambulance

“Do you really wanna detain that woman?” Sammy, the officer she hit earlier asked holding his stinging face

“It’s our job to. Come let’s go” Crawford huffed and walked to the van where they met Chloe pouting innocently

“I’m sorry”

“Stop talking!”

✨✨✨✨

[ AIRPORT ]

Standing at a terminal for arrivals, Sierra pushed her hands into the pockets of the brown coat she wore. She had a mask on her nose, her hair styled in a messy bun with a few strands on the sides. Her thigh high boots tapped the floor impatiently as she scanned the people passing by. It was two days already and Royce was supposed to be back! So why wasn’t he here yet?
Kindly Hi Amazing Stories on zero nine zero seven four two nine two three four seven to join our story group
The part of her which dearly missed him grumbled about. Though her nonchalance was visible in her expression, Sierra was a lost cause in putting on a serious face so…

Her shoulders dropped and she decided to look at her boots like something caught her attention

Just then a fleet of bodyguards marched out of the terminal and in their middle was their breathtaking boss whose concentration was in his phone

Royce clicked his tongue after finalising whatever he as doing then dipped the phone into the coat’s pocket. He then loosened the muffler from his neck to let it hang loosely. Raising his head, he caught sight of something– Someone– though with her rather biased style of dressing still stood out from everyone in the airport’s crowd

“What is she doing here?” He smiled widely and hurried his steps to where she stood

“Missed me, I see” He smirked and she raised her head with the mask still on

“Keep dreaming Royce. I’m here for someone else” She lied with a pout thankfully he wouldn’t see

Royce smiled and pulled the mask down to her chin

“I missed you too” He pecked her and she blushed swatting his hands off her face,she quickly wore the mask

“Why’d you do that?”

“There’s a lot of reasons why Sierra. You don’t wanna go through that list now. What’s with the mask?”

“Someone, the city’s eye-candy allegedly kissed me out in the open and now I’m not safe since his admirers will leave no stone unturned to come at me” She explained in a dramatic way and he laughed taking her hand which she gladly let him. He entwined their fingers as they walked

“I don’t regret it tho”

“Because you’re safe. I’m not”

“Come stay with me then” He winked and she gasped blushing fiercely

“So who were you waiting for again?” He teased

“I was waiting for Leo” She spat, Royce threw his head backwards as he chuckled

“Seriously? Leo? Your ex-boyfriend? Seems you loved him alot” He rolled his eyes

“I mean he was a good kisser” She shrugged. Royce eyed her for a moment and halted in his steps, the bodyguards too stopped walking

“I feel like killing that Leo guy” He drew in a whiff of air and exhaled deeply like he was calming his nerves, “let’s go”

They continued walking hand in hand both comfortable with their hearts working crazily

“So what did Dervantes say?” She asked as they headed the limo she brought along. Royce’s grip tightened on her hand as he recalled his conversation with the perverted old man

•Flashback•

❝Without your personal assistant here, we won’t be signing any deal kiddo. I want that intelligent woman here,❞ Mr Dervantes smirked with a glint of mischief flashing through his eyes

Unfortunately, Royce saw through him, he had been regretting not bringing Sierra along but now he was thanking his stars, turns out the old man was up to no good in the first place

❝Then, we don’t have a deal Mr Dervantes, cos my personal assistant won’t be meeting you, not now, not ever. Have a good day,❞

He smirked and got up

❝Why are you in a haste to leave Royce, and why are you so protective about that lady…you shouldn’t be making decisions for her…Shouldn’t you be glad she’s caught my attention? It’ll be an advantage to your company❞

❝One more word, and I’ll send you to hell where your daughter is, I SWEAR! NOT ANOTHER DEMEANING WORD AGAINST SIERRA! And who says I need your help Dervantes, not just my personal assistant, none of my employees would be used as a pawn to get a contract. I only honored this invitation cos you called personally but now I’m beginning to feel like snapping a rib out of your body❞ Royce growled and Dervantes cowered back out of fear,

❝You should be afraid Dervantes, like the old useless dog you are!❞ Royce spat and took classy steps out of the suite, and for the first time, he acknowledged his father’s enmity with Dervantes. Turns out the old man { his father } had some sense.

•

“Royce!!” Sierra’s loud voice reverberated in his ears startling him. He looked down into her questioning eyes and smiled

“We don’t need him. Never call or pick his calls again. That’s if he does in the future, okay?” A guard opened the door of the limo

“Why? What happened?”

“For once Sierra, let me be the boss” He pushed her gently into the backseat, he got in too staring at her as she took off the mask

“Okay” she responded as she dropped it

“It’s ironic, you came for “Leo” and left with Royce…Hmm?” He pulled her close to his body and claimed her lips before she could speak
