My mouth was hanging opened as I watched them engaged in fistfight.
Duvall just stood there, watching them.
Seriously?
“Shouldn’t you stop them?”I questioned.
He glanced at me and scoffs.
“Close the door first.”
I moved in fully and shut the door behind me.
“That wouldn’t solve it tho. The sound of their fists will attract attention.”
“Ah, this place is soundproof.”Duvall pressed his lips together.
“I’ve gotten use to this now. You may leave if it disturbs you.”
They flipped themselves over a table and Snow bent over Ralph’s body on the floor, landing serveral punches on his face.
What a sore sight.
I turned to Duvall.
“You aren’t going to do anything? What if they kill themselves?”I asked worriedly.
“They won’t, be rest assured.”he smiled and moved away to do his business.
I quickly brought out my phone and recorded a video.
“Stop!”I went to where they were, few inches away from them so as not to get a flying punch.
I care about my face that much.
Snow hand halted in the air as he looked up at me.
I showed him the video and he frowned.
“You must really take me for a joke, don’t you?”his angry stare pierced into my eyes.
He tried to hijack the phone from me but I was quick to move back.
“Any more movement from and I will press the post button.”I warned menacingly.
Ralph toppled him over and circled his hands around his neck as he gritted his teeth.
He released him seconds later and stood up.
His face had bruises on them and he seems to be at verge of tearing up.
He breathed heavily before moving to the inner room.
“They nearly killed themselves.”I glared at Duvall.
“But they didn’t, right? Best duel ever, hun?”he chuckles.
Snow left the room while still seething in anger.
I dropped my back on the table and went to where Ralph was.
He quickly wiped his tears away when he saw me coming in.
“What are you doing here? Leave.”
I rolled my eyes and went to get the tissue paper.
I unrolled some out of the pack when I get to where he was.
He moved his face away as I reached out for it.
“I can handle that.”he tried to collect the roll from me.
“I really wanna help.”I stated.
I moved to wipe off the blood on his face and he remained still this time around.
I changed the tissue and moved my hand down to his mouth.
He caught my hand, bringing me to a stop in wiping his lips.
“I will handle that.”he took the paper from me and cleaned his mouth with it.
“Who is this Juliet that you guys always went crazy over?”I asked inquisitively.
He looked up at me but quickly took his gaze away.
“A story you don’t wanna hear.”he hmphed and left.

Diana’s pov.
I headed to Adrian’s agency company after I was done with my shoot.
He would be going into the studio for the record of his new song and he requested my presence as that would really be a great catalyst for him.
I got to the elevator and discovered it was not in service because a maintenance work is ongoing.
Ugh.
I will have to go take the stairs.
Geez.
I went to take the stairs and halfway through it, my phone chimes in my bag.
I brought it out and saw that it was a message from Tyler.
He sent me the pictures he was going to post.
*So soon?*I thought to myself.
I clicked on the photos to check them out before sendind him my approval text.
I was so preoccupied with my phone that I didn’t know when I missed a step and almost fell off but thankfully, a hand caught me.
I looked at the hand that wrapped around my waist and gazed up at the owner.
I quickly yanked myself away when I saw him.
You must be kidding.
John?
“Are you okay?”he asks but I left hurriedly.

Kelvin’s pov.
“You found Aysel?”he asked, surprised.
I nodded.
“Ah,”he smirks.
“Such a perfect timing.”he added.
“We can use her in bringing down John, can’t we?”he looked up at me.
“I’m.. afraid she is not going to be useful for us anymore. Truth is, she has went out of it. She isn’t the…”
“Let’s take her out then. She will only cause troubles if we let her be. Not now that the Queen is looking for her long – lost baby.”
My eyes widened.
“Is.. that really necessary?”
He landed a kick in my stomach.
“Hmmmm…”I held on to it as I tried to suppress the pains I felt.
“You still harbour feelings for that bitch?”
“I..”
“I don’t care about anything else. It’s either you bring her back to the circle or you kill her.”

Lisa’s pov.
I paced tho and fro in the room as I stared at my phone screen.
I’m yet to receive feedback from the guy and he isn’t even replying my text messages nor calls.
Why I’m i having a bad feeling about this?
But he was introduced to me as the best!
I threw a pillow away angrily.
I gnashed my teeth in anger.
I only hope for one thing.
Even he got caught, he shouldn’t reveal my name else, I’ll be damned, totally.

Helen’s pov.
After arriving back from work late in the night, I prepared dinner and went to sit before the TV, enjoying the movie being shown on Soap opera channel.
My phone vibrated beside me on the sofa and I peeked at the caller.
Unknown?
Who did I gave my number?
I picked it up nevertheless and placed it on my ear with my left hand while I scoop some food in my mouth.
“Hi”the person at the other end said.
“Hi?”I was expecting an introduction but hi?
“This is Jayden. You remember me, right?”
“Oh, Jayden. Hi.”I held the phone with my right hand.
“You aren’t sleeping yet, are you? I hope I..”
“Who the hell sleeps by this time. The night is still pretty young.”I drank from my cup of pineapple juice.
“I see.”he chuckled.
“Hey, do you wanna meet up with me?, I mean, I’m hoping if we could…”
“Are you asking me out right now.”I paused.
“No, don’t get me wrong. As friends.. let’s meet as friends.”he sounds nervous.
“Sure. Text me the address and location when you’re ready.”I said and hung up.
A smile appeared on my face.
I guess I will soon be cooking pasta for someone pretty soon.

Jayden’s pov.
I raised a brow at my friends after she ended the call.
“See? I told you I’m the real deal.”I smirked.
Mike scoffed and drank from his wine.
“Her friend. That’s what she thought of you when she accepted to go out with you.”Lincoln said.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day. From friendship, we will take it up to lovers and from that, we take it up to the room and boom! boom! See! I got her.”
