What?!
..
After about an hour, the people starts to disperse.
Only few people were around and chattering.
Beatrice left where she was standing and went out.
There was no reporters around. It looks like they’ve all left.
Well, that seems perfect for her though.
She got inside the backseat of his and relaxed back on the seat.
She would rather stay in here than remain in there.
She closed her eyes and her mouth twitched.
It was only some minutes when she heard a sound.
She fluttered her eyes open and saw Gregory getting inside the driver’s seat.
“I told you to stay beside me.”he said, hoarsely, without turning back to spare her a glance.
She folded her arms and shut her eyes back.
She would rather remain silent than answer him.
He just showed her how more of a prick he was this night.
The drive back to the lake was long and quiet.
All through, Beatrice’s eyes were closed.
She enjoyed the darkness better than the light where Gregory is.
He drove into the garage and seconds later, Jennifer also drove in before the gate could slide down.
Beatrice got down from the car hurriedly, almost spraining the neck of her ankle in the process.
“Careful with that, miss. That is pretty expensive.”Jennifer warned.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Beatrice stopped walking then glanced back at her.
This b! tch also stood there, watching as she is being humiliated but didn’t say anything.
She slips her legs out of the heels and walked off.
“Hey!”Jennifer yelled, insanely.
Gregory stared at her with a frown.
“What?”she glared at him.
He just left without replying her.
..
Beatrice rushed into her room, bolts the door then slumped on her bed, letting out a languished sigh.
Her hair scattered everywhere on the mattress.
She looked at the ceiling and smiled.
“I am such a loser, ain’t I?”she chuckled.
“How humiliating would it have been though?.”she fished her phone out and logged in to her bank account.
She sat up.
“Now, let’s pretend I’m Olivia, and, you.. up there.. “she looked at the wardrobe.
“… is me.”
“What’s your passcode?”
“It’s angel@24”
“Then.. I, Olivia logged in and..”she clicked on the check account balance page.
“Then, you started shaking on the spot cause you know your account balance is zero.”she said to the wardrobe as she waited for the page to finish loading.
She smirks, waiting for the big zero but what she got next shocked her!
She sprang up and widened her gaze at the screen.
Is.. is this three zeros?
Behind twenty?
“Oh my God!! $20, 000?!!!”she screamed out loudly.
She couldn’t belief her eyes.
$20, 000?
Where is this coming from?
She looked up at her notification bar and saw that a little red tick was on it, indicating she has a new notification.
It’s probably the notification of the credit alert.
Why didn’t she see this before?
She clicked on it and that was it, she totally lost it when she saw the name.
‘Hey, Angel! Guess what?, you just received $20, 000 from Gregory Winslow?. Happy, aren’t you?.’the friendly ai reported.
She blinked her eyes lids, still not wanting to believe that.
She went down to the message for the official message.
She was credited in this afternoon.
It is the same!! It is real!
She throws a punch in the air and shriek in happiness.
She just received Twenty thousand dollars in her account!!
She bolted out of the room and ran down to Gregory’s room.
She opened the door without any prior warning and dashed inside his room.
She found him sitting by the window quietly.
“Did.. did you really sent.. this amount to me?”she didn’t know how to start.
“Yes, for a job well – done. Ten thousand dollars for your pay as my writer and the other half for your pay for acting as my girlfriend smoothtly.”he replied without looking at her.
She smiled hugely.
“Thank you, thank you, IntrovertBoy.”she beamed.
He chuckled.
“Be formal, please.”
“Thank you, sir.”
That was the first time she would receive such amount in her account, so she felt immeasurably happy.
“Ugh, just leave.”he cachinnates.
..
Amelia sat on the bed, scrolling through her internet page.
“He is making this more convincing.”she mumbled.
“Who?”Brown questioned, while taking a pause in packing some food in his mouth.
“Ah..”she scoffed.
“Jenna even gave a speech?. “I would say it’s a good one. It’s rare to find a man so truthful to his heart. I wish them roses filled journey”? What the hell is wrong with her?. I thought she would be my only weapon but she seems okay with their relationship.”She wore a deep frown.
Brown scopped another spoonful of rice in his mouth.
“Relax, babe. Because she said that doesn’t mean she meant it. It’s probably a cover up. Besides, their supposed marriage was not known to the public except for few relatives.”he stated amidst munching.
“Well, scratch that!”
“Hehehe. You, Amelia, have you ever been truthful to the media?. It’s all lies and lies.”he said, sarcastically.
Amelia face wrinkled up in rage.
“Well, fvck you for that, Brown!”she cursed.
“I.. I was just trying to assure you, Lia.”he shrugged.
“I don’t need your fucking raging reassurance!”she barked at him.
“You have always been so annoying. I’d better birth a son real soon as our divorce papers seems to have been printed out already and all that remains is to find someone to bring it down here.”
“Why do we always have to bicker about this, Melissa?”
“It’s Amelia.”she glared at him.
“I was just trying to give you a sweet nickname, Lia. Anyways, I’m not in for a quarrel with you tonight, but just to make it certain, it’s a daughter.”
“Only in your dreams! I own my stomach and i would decide the gender I would like to carry here.”
“You can only carry, but not create. What will you do if it’s a girl then?”
“Abort it, of course. Or, probably, I would make her a man.”she gave a lopsided grin.
“You’re insane, babe. But, don’t you think we should, at least, create something?. I mean, take a step forward towards our wants?. A child will not fall down from heaven, you know. We have to do something to see what is really in there for us.”he placed his food on the table before standing up and moving to where she was.
He pulled the cloth over her shoulder off a bit and touched her bare skin.
She closed her eyes as he brushed his hand on her bare skin.
She suddenly opened it and hit his hand off.
“Stupid! I’m not feeling anything.”
