âThis is the second time,Linâ.Belle cried as I tried to explain to her outside.I had left the restaurant just to meet her but I found her in tears.
âThe first time was in that birthday party with that awful celebrant and now here in this restaurant.I seriously donât understand, whatâs going on? Donât you love me anymore?â.Her voice broke as she spoke and that made me feel so sad.
âAm so sorry Bel,am truly so sorry.I donât know why she would think of k-ssing me,I really donât know why.I could have even stopped her but she did all that in a flash.Am so sorry Bel,am sorryâ.I pleaded and she sniffed,her eyes were red.
âDo you love me,Lin?â.She asked with a shaken voice.
âWhat! Why would you ask that?â.
âI donât know,I thought..you might not love me anymoreâ.She sighed and I hugged her.
âThatâs a bad thought, Bel.I love you,okay?â.I said and she smiled before we both disengaged from the hug.
âOh! Before I forget..â.She forced a laugh and took her hand to her p-nt pocket. âHere is your phone,you were in such a hurry that you forgot your phoneâ.
âReally? And you came all the way to the restaurant to give me my phone?â.I gasped as she handed me my phone.
âIt doesnât matterâ.She sighed loudly.
âBut I remember the first day you trekked with me to the restaurant, you were busy whining like a childâ.I teased her and her face turned pink.
Wow!!
âCome on,Lin! I wasnât used to this trekking thing then but now am an expertâ.She boasted and I smiled.
âAnd I should go now,the sun wanna burst out of the sky soonâ.She added as she glanced at the sky.
âOh! Take this thenâ.I said and brought out few dollar notes from my wallet. âYou will need it to board a cabâ.
âWow,Lin! I sincerely appreciate but I got legs and exercising them is better than keeping them at a position for hours.I mean what are legs made for?â.She asked and I shrugged,handing her the money.
âStop being stubborn and take it.I know you do wanna take it but your stubbornness is just preventing you from doing soâ.I said and her eyes dimmed.
âFine,I will just take itâ.She said and took the money from me reluctantly.
âBye Belâ.I waved at her and she waved at me too before walking away.
âWow! Am so glad she didnât get too angryâ.I thought and headed back into the restaurant.

I didnât know what came over me.Lincoln is so in resistable.I was lost staring at his attractive l-ips as his spoke and different thoughts kept crossing my mind.I tried to control myself,I really tried but I couldnât.
Then I slammed my l-ips on him but he didnât reciprocate instead he pushed me away though I was thanks full for that because I immediately came to my senses.
What the hell!!
I k-ssed a man in the presence of my soon to be husband who I was gonna married in a few days..
I did went shopping yesterday for a wedding dress but I guess I ruined the wedding already.Ahh!
I stared at Chris but he wasnât saying anything, he looks so heartbroken and dumbfounded. I felt so sad and angry at myself.
âYou slut!!â.A waitress spat out as she walked to me.She dragged my hair and hit my head on the glassy table.
Blood spilled out from my head but from the corner of my eye,I stared at Chris.He still wasnât speaking!!
âYou think you can just come in here with your ugly legs to steal Lincoln from me,huh?â.She barked and I noticed all the attention were on us.Everyone was staring at us.
Oh! What an humiliation!!
âLeave me alone,you crazy witch!â.I tried to escape from her grip but damn,she was stronger.
She held my throat and suddenly began choking me.I could no longer breathe,I was gasping for air.
I took a quick glance at Chris but again,he wasnât speaking,he was just staring at me and the crazy waitress.
What the heck is wrong with him? He should just help me out..
âWhatâs going on here?â.A stocky man yelled boldly as he walked to I and the waitress.
He must the restauranteur cause of his appearance and the way the workers stopped whatever they were doing when they saw him.
The crazy waitress quickly removed her grip from my neck and I held it protectively while coughing out loud.
âMadeline,you are sacked.Come to my office for your moneyâ.He said icily and walked away while the waitress walked behind him tearfully.
I turned back to Chris trying to apologize but he shook his head and stood.He looks furious now..
âThe wedding is canceled,everything I had with you ended the moment you place you dirty l-ips on another man.You can come take your belongings which will be thrown outside my house for you.Also all the money I spent on you should be refunded back to me or else you and your family will rot miserably in prisonâ.He suddenly paused and turned back to me.
âI give you two days Abby,just two days to refund back my three million dollarsâ.He said and walked away leaving me in tears.

đđLINCOLN POV

Today was my off day and so I didnât go to work.Belle and I spent time tidying the house,doing the laundry and making lunch.
âThis is so awesome!â.She squeaked as she sliced the carrots.
We were making noodles soup cause she said she wanted the food and well,we agreed to make it together.
âDonât let the knife break your skinâ.I warned immediately I noticed she was too fast.
âAm careful Linâ.She said and successfully finished slicing the carrots.
âWow! Chef Belle did itâ.I said and we both laughed.
âI think I should tell you somethingâ.She said and I nodded,paying all my attention.
âWhatâs is it? Is it important?â.
âMm,I donât know if it is or not but you should just let it slideâ.She said and I smiled.
âOkay then,go on!â.
âA lady came to the house two days agoâ.She said and I laughed.
âA lady? You must be jokingâ.I said but she shook her head putting on a serious face and I quickly knew she wasnât joking.
âShe came to warn me to stay away from..â.I cut her off.
âFrom what?â.
âFrom youâ.
âWhat? Me? I donât get it!â.
âMe too Lin,I donât get why she would do that but she must have a crush on you or something cause she was so serious while warning me. It is okay though,we shouldnât get sacred because she wouldnât bother us next timeâ.She said and I scoffed.
âDid you do something do her?â.I asked and she sighed.
âNot really.I just told her that it was wrong to warn someone in their own house.Thatâs just it!â.
âDid she tell you her name?â.
âNo but you must know her.She knows you,she even knows your name and she was like âleave Lincoln alone you bitch,he is mine not yoursâ.Oh! She is so rudeâ.
âCan you describe her?â.
âA bit though. She got dark brown hair,pink l-ips,she is slender and well she is short but she is also beautifulâ.She said and my mind traced to Madeline.
Madeline??
I canât believe itâs her,I canât believe Madeline would stoop too low to do that.Wow! Besides,I heard she was fired for having a fight with a costumer.
She was looking so sad yesterday,I wanted to comfort her when I saw her but I didnât do that cause she deserves what she got.
That serves her right!!
đđTRIPP POV

I smirked as I increased the volume of the music I was playing on my phone but I suddenly thought of Samantha.
That fool.
She thought she can use us any time she likes,she thought we were fool not knowing she was the fool.
Ha ha ha!!
I light up my cigarette and stuck it in my mouth before inhaling the smoke.
Gosh! She must in the hospital now after we gave the beating of her life and guess what,the fool was bleeding.
She was crying for mercy!!
Ahh! I could even remember how she tried to run out of the room.She is indeed stupid.So stupid!
How could she trust us? The bad guys??
âTripp,please can you low down the volume of your music? Am studying!â.My younger sister said walking into my room.
Gish! I must leave the house soon.. Canât someone even make some noise here??
âGet out of my room,you useless waste!â.I cursed and her face crumbled before she ran out.
Our parents died when we were just children and our heartless relatives never wanted to take us in.
I didnât even want them to take us in cause well I made friends and we formed a group named the âT Boysâ.
My sister grown and work her head off just to go to school and provide some little food for us. I mean isnât that ridiculous??
Why would you just work cause you wanna go to school? WellâŠLife is just a bitch!

I heard a knock on the door and I smiled grabbing my phone before heading to the living phone.
My friends must be here,have been expecting them.We actually got to plan for todayâs mission in robbing Mrs Harrison house today.
I opened the door but was shocked to see four men dressed on police uniforms and a man on suit.
âAm Mr Rickâ.He introduced,sensing my confusion.
âHey sir,ya in the wrong houseâ.My voice was kinda cold and unfriendly.
âReally? Isnât this block 10 Johnsonâs Street?â.He asked and I gulped in nothing.
âYes,it is.What are you doing here?â.I scoffed looking so impatient.
âActually Mister,what we are doing here is your concern.So just keep your dirty mouth up and listen to Mr Rick before we get more furiousâ.This time it was a cop speaking and I nodded turning to Mr Rick.
âWhat do you want?â.I asked.
âWe want you. You committed an offenceâ.He said and I suddenly felt a part of my heart leave me.
Oh no!
âYou know what? I was actually doing something in,side,I should get back in now.Good day!â.I rushed my words trying to run in,side but one of the cops quickly landed a punch on my face making me fell on the floor roughly.
âYou are under arrest for the destruction of lives and properties.Everything you say shall be used against you in court so you have every right to remain silentâ.A cop said and grabbed my hands before handcuffing them.
âWe planned to make this easy but you chose it the hĂŠrd way, now look at you after burning down my supermarketâŠYou look miserableâ.Mr Rick said as the cops drag me into their car and each time I tried to escape,they keep punching or kicking me.
âIt wasnât only me!â.I scre-med loudly making the cops and Mr Rick stare at me.
Some of the neighbors even my sister were already staring at me but she was crying.I felt my heart bled!
Not only me will suffer for this too,I would make sure the people I mention suffer.
âI wasnât the only one that burned down your supermarket!â.I scre-med again but this time more loudly. âI know their name and I will tell you their locationsâ.
