Allie's POV I flinched at a screeching loud voice and flickered my pudgy eyes severely to adapt to my surroundings. Weak is an understatement for my condition. I shook my head and eventually snapped my eyes open to meet different eyes watching me. One was that of a doctor who was relieved from my awakening, another was Mr Smith who had an edgy expression and the last was Mrs Smith who looked evidently agitated and gloomy. Her face indicates that she had been crying for as long as I could presume. The doctor came to my aid in a sitting position. I hung my head down and clasped my hands together if I could recall my last moment and it began to make insight. Aaron? Kiara? The media? I began to flutter and my eyes pricked unbearably. A banging head and a tough headache. I stared at Mrs Smith who had begun to sob again. "Dad, what do… we.. do?" I solicited desperately with a cracked voice. "Did you just we?!" Mrs Smith denounced. "How dare you? How could you do something like that
Five years later~~~~~~ Allie's POV"Oh mummy, it seems I will be going with the James family." My little girl, Kylie announced impatiently in her tiny voice as she walked into the room. Aaron and I quickly feigned alright. We hurriedly separated from each other and I shoved my gown down. "Wait for me, honey. Just a few more minutes" I appealed and sauntered towards the mirror to redo my smooched make-up. "Try to understand me, mummy. If I have to wait for the third time for you to retouch your makeup…, then I will surely be replaced and all my effort will be in vain." She pointed out smartly. I sigh and honed an accusing stare at Aaron. He winked and shrugged his shoulders. "Mummy understands you. Therefore, you can go with the James family, baby. Also, let Jeff (the chauffeur)escort you. I will wait for mummy while she redo her makeup and of course, mummy and I will meet you at the reception my little bride " Aaron urged and I could see a haunting smirk on his face immediately
Allie's POV"Allie. Allie! "Mr Austin yelled my name repeatedly.We are at the shooting scene for our new magazine project. I was the one assigned to the task, but I don't understand why he won't let me focus.I sighed tiredly and aggressively flung the document on the nearest table before reversing in his direction. I was already stressed at the rate at which I'd been sent on errands the past few days. My boss, Mr Austin has severally caused serious headaches for me and of course, I couldn't complain because I would be laid off, which is something I don't yearn for.I have been working as a staff at the "Diamond" magazine for the past two years. I loved the job even though the Smiths aren't pleased with my type of company; Mainly because they have their firm "Royals" a brand that is worth billions of dollars on its own. I was offered to be one of their advertisement shooting directors, but I slumped the proposal. Immediately after I was done with College, I was fortunate enough to fi
Allie's POV"You are fired Allie!! " he thundered outrageously."Wha..t?!" I stuttered as my knees weakened in distress. "You heard me!" he yelled again. "What!" I screamed again. I was beyond speechless to say a word. I know this man wouldn't take it easy but isn't this going too far? "Please I can explain, boss" I implored, walking towards him with wobbling legs and heart thudding with each step I took. I desperately wished to jerk out of such a hazardous nightmare. "I woke up late," I revealed truthfully and bit the tip of my lips painfully. "I didn't even fritter time when I discovered that I was late. Please, I won't be late from today henceforth" I blabbed, but he seemed to be more focused on his wristwatch."I understand that you have other options, but still, you can't just be slack in your work. I won't tolerate that!" he snickered. He had a satisfied expression on his face like he loved that I was in a vulnerable condition."Has he always been like this? Is this his real
Allie's POV I squinted my eyes severally as I jerked out of unconsciousness by the attempt of someone nearly peeling off my shorts to remove my cell phone which I had kept in my back pocket."Uhn you are awake? You passed out for 20 minutes only" Their leader chuckled mockingly. It was easier to indicate because of the voice earlier. Everything flashed through my head as I recalled instantly that I was apprehended. The piece of clothing used to wrap my face has been withdrawn. I breathed helplessly trying to get my phone back, but the bulky man was stronger, and since I was also struggling with my tied legs and hands, I could not easily get it. "This would make our work easier," He acknowledged with a slight nod and yanked my hand to the phone which was now in his grasp. He was trying to get my fingerprint to unlock it.Immediately the phone unlocked, and he moved away from me. "20 missed calls by lovely brother! Is that billionaire Aaron?" He asked, still unsure that I was mysteri
Allie's POV"Allie," Aaron called again. I spun around triumphantly and used the sharp tip of my finger to pinch my other arm hoping I was hallucinating, but unfortunately, he was here standing at the gate. I should have known that someone might be sent to come pick me up, but I never predicted that it would be Aaron himself.I guess his millions of dollars are worth it."Aaron," I whispered nervously while scratching my neck."Lon... g time no see" I greeted dumbly, unable to recognize my voice because of how frightened and anxious I was. I kept fiddling with my hands while Aaron made dominating footsteps towards me. I froze at the spot. He stopped when it was merely a hairsbreadth between us."Was he trying to hug me? " I wondered, yet I was surprised that he moved that close to me. He used to scrunch his face in disgust at my appearance. I took a step backward to give space between us."Do you know how worried I.. we were?" he questioned and hastily grabbed me to himself when he de
Allie's POVMum decided to disentangle from the hug for me to settle into my old space which has already been cleaned by Layla(the house help).Mum insists that I should visit Dad in his chamber tomorrow forenoon. I grabbed the towel and walked into the bathroom for a refreshing shower. It took me a while to leave the bathtub.I walked back into my room contemplating on what colour of nightdress to put on. I decided to go with my favourite lacquer which is blue.I suddenly remember my little kitty, roaming my eyes around the room and he was wrapped up behind the dressing table. Guess one of the maids might have brought him into the room.I signed in solace, then used a finger to lose my towel from the tip. I walked towards the huge mirror that hung like a chandelier but just beneath my dressing table to check myself out."What if those people touched me like they thought they would have?" I shivered at the thought."I don't think I would survive it and my boss, Oh good lord I hope he w
I shifted closer to him with my eyebrows furrowed together. Perplexed and curious about what this sneaky man could be up to.He cleared his throat one more time before he spoke up."I want you to convince Aaron to get married, to have even a girlfriend. Just a lady that could be by his side""I don't get what you are trying to say, " I said, shaking my head sideways, incompetent at accumulating everything at once."I want you to talk to him, or perhaps get him someone for him to date. ""You want me to persuade him to get a woman? a lady to be called his? " I said, staring at him like he has gone, psycho.I raised my possibly wrinkled eyebrows at him for him to acknowledge my questions hoping I misheard him"Yeah..h""Yeah!? " I scoffed, obviously feeling unsettled by his sudden request. There must be a vital reason he needed me to do this kind of thing."How is that even doable Dad? you know how much we dislike each other. How did you even come up with this in the first place? And Aar
