…
“Hop in. I will drop you off.”he offered and I sighed before walking round the car and sat at the backseat.
“I am not your driver, you know?. Cool.”he glanced back at me after I’d buckled myself in.
“It seems you’ve slacken off. I’m a little bit disappointed tho. I put just enough trust in your skills that I thought you would always be the best.”he started a conversation as soon as he drove off.
I relaxed my head on the seat without saying anything.
“The boss has always want you back. Your..”
“Please, Kelvin. I’m a changed person now. I am not that sh*t girl from fifteen years, ago. I am never going to be interested in those dirty works again.”I rasped as I leaned out of the seat.
“Why did you have to bring back memories?”I sniffed and wiped my tears away.
“Ah, tears? It’s been so long I did this.”I chuckled dryly, staring at my wet fingers.
“Helen. Has she been well?”
I scoffed.
“Why do you care? You both don’t share good moments in the past. She has been better than ever tho so…”I paused and looked at him through the rearview mirror.
“Do well as to stay away from us. We don’t want any more bad moments in our lives.”
He chortled and scratched his left cheek with his thumb.
“Time really did change people. But, it can never changed who you are.”he smirks.
“You will always be that girl that took part in several killings, oh, in switching of the queen’s baby too.”
I unstrapped the seatbelt and surge forward then trapped his neck with my hands.
“You will shut up, you as*hole.”I gritted.
He laughs,”See? I told you, people might change, but their personality still remains. You’re still as nimble as ever.”he choked out.
“You might need this information tho. The queen is currently searching for her baby whom she thinks is a girl. You might wanna run away, Aysel.
I heard you’ve been causing some nuisance also. What?, you with John?, Snow, Duvall and Ralph? You must really be kidding. You must think this is some kind of fairy tale, don’t you?
You’re a murderer, Aysel. Accept your fate and come to me. I promise to be good to you.”
A car’s headlights flashed on at us and Kelvin quickly directed the car to the roadside and turned the engine off.
“You’ve made quite a name for yourself. Should your past surfaces on the internet, boom! you’re done for good.”he landed a blow on my throat and I swept backward.
I beats my chest while coughing.
“I won’t interrupt your good moments. Go on with your life of lie. I will pretend I didn’t see anything.”he breathed out.
I wheezed as he engaged the engine and zoom off.

Snow’s pov.
I was about to drive inside the mansion when someone suddenly appeared before me and I gasps.
Juliet?
I quickly stopped the car and stared on.
It’s Juliet!
I turned off the headlight and ran down from the car but I was disappointed when I couldn’t find her there.
Was I hallucinating then?
I scattered my hair frustratingly and hit the car’s bonnet.
Fu*k!

Next day.
Diana’s pov.
I got ready for my morning photoshoot and hurried over to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of cereal for myself.
I went to the fridge and brought out a box of cereal.
I brought down a bowl and a spoon and decanted some cornflakes in the bowl then poured just enough milk on it.
I grabbed the spoon and started crunching on it.
“Are you free tonight?”mom’s voice sounded as I walked out to the dinning area.
“Yes, why?”
“Get ready. We are meeting with the Robinson’s family.”
I looked up at her and scoffs then dropped my food.
“You just have to spoil the mood.”I grabbed my bag and left.
“Party – pooper.”I muttered as I dashed past her.

Mrs Robinson.
“Oh, you going out?”I asked as John raced the stairs down.
“I’m heading back to the mansion.”he replied.
“Okay. I am wondering if your night isn’t booked. There’s someone I want you to meet.”
“Oops, my night is all booked. I will see you later, mum.”he flashed me a bright smile and pecked my cheeks before rushing out.
“Be careful, baby. You don’t wanna fall.”I yelled after him.
I hope he heard that.
Heaven knows where he is rushing to.
I’m glad he’s happy again tho.
It’s been so long I see him with a big smile.
I wonder who is behind that smile.
Definitely not Lisa. He didn’t even smile that much when they were dating.
That girl has always been a pain the a*s.
Could it be Diana?
Awn, I’m getting goosebumps. Did they met already?
I giggled like a baby.
I will have to postpone the meeting with the Deans then.

John’s pov.
“Woah:you did really ran down here. What’s up with the vigor? I guess Terry was right after all.”Emma teased when I got to my room.
She is my fashion icon. We’ve been in contact for quite a well now, so you can see we are a little close.
“Terry sure runs his mouth.”I sighed.
“Where is it?”I asked.
“In your wardrobe.”she pointed.
I moved towards it and opened the doors.
A smile crept up to my lips when I saw the cloth.
“Emma, you know what? You’re the best.”
“Do have a romantic night, John.”she winked and I scoffed to cover up the red colors that was making its way onto my face.
“Wait, did you just blush?”she caught on really fast.
I puts up a stern look and shook my head.
“No, I didn’t.”

Aysel’s pov.
I sat behind the counter as I watched Helene prepare breakfast.
“Pasta again?”I asked unconsciously.
“Of course, you know I always love to prepare that, and that’s to people who are special to me. If you see me preparing Pasta for a guy, just know I’ve fallen for him.”she joked but I was definitely not in for it.
My thoughts are over last night’s incident.
“Hey!”Helen tapped me on my shoulder.
“Are you okay? I’ve been calling out your name for quite a while now.”
“Huh? Well, it’s just a little migraine. I will be fine. How come you’re here early this morning and preparing food for me?”I decided not to spoilsport the atmosphere.
“You have to eat my pasta so as to have a very blissful night. Today is a special day you know?”she smiles.
Special day?
“Finally going out with John, huh? How do you feel?”she used her hand as a microphone.
Oh, right!
Today is D – day!
How can I forget such?
“How did you find out about that?”I questioned.
“Oh, well. You remember Tamara, my friend? ”
I nodded.
“Today is her birthday and she wished to have John there at her party and begged me to bring it into reality but I was too shocked when he told me he is going out on a date with my sister. ”
I nodded and pressed my lips together.
Her words resounded in my head and I stood up from the chair abruptly.
“Seriously, you know John is my man, how could you volunteer to call him to your friend’s party. What if she becomes his baby mama?”I flared up.
“Not your man yet. Did you even expect me to turn down a birthday girl, who also happens to be my best friend’s wish? When it is within my power?”
“When did you start keeping friends.”i sat back on the seat slowly.
Helen sighed and slapped my cheeks softly.
“You’re out of it, Aysel. What are your thoughts?”
I had no choice but to let’s out the truth.
“I met with Kelvin last night.”
“Kelvin?”she seems to think the name over.
“Damn! The same Kelvin?”
I nodded.
“Wh.. what did he say?”
“He won’t let out a word, so don’t worry.”I snorted.
“How.. how did he find us?”
“I don’t know but either way, we good since he isn’t spilling anything out. I should go dress up for work before I come back to eat your special delicacy”I brightened up and stood up.
I didn’t tell her about the rape incident, I know. I just don’t want to get her worried.
“And oh, we’d better get you a guy you would prepare pasta for.”
*
I got in front of the door and heaved a sigh.
You’ve got this, Aysel.
I pushed the door in and as I made to head inside, Snow suddenly shoved me to the side and stomped in angrily and went to grab Ralph’s by his collar.
“Where the fu*k did you hide her?. Where is Juliet?. You did something bad to her, didn’t you?”he said irascibly.
His eyes were bloodahot.
Before I knew what was happening, Ralph already landed a punch on his face.
