CHAPTER THREE
RILEY
I made sure i woke up early today before mother, I don’t want her to bother herself by doing all the chores so I tidied everywhere and made breakfast. I went back to my room, got on my kneels and said a quick prayer to the Lord.
I brushed my teeth, shampooed my hair and had a nice warm bath. After drying my body, I applied lotion on my skin, I wore my dress, a green sweater and grey sweet pant.
I carried my clutch that I hung on the wall last night. I stuffed my work outfit into the clutch and quickly zipped it close.
I got out of my room after taking a last look at my room to make sure I didn’t forget anything important. I walked towards mother’s room and quietly got inside, I smiled when she sleeps peacefully.
“Good bye mother.” I whispered and close back the door quietly, I don’t want to disturb her sleep.
I glimpsed at my phone screen, 6:02am. Am still early, I should better go to work now before Mr Gary, my boss arrives before me. He hates lazy workers so much.
~~~~~~
“Hey Riley, good morning!.” Cathy greets with a smile on her glossy lips.
“Morning.” I smiled.
“It’s gonna be a lovely day today, right Ry?.” She nudges my shoulder with a wide grin on her face.
“Yeah, I hope so.” I nod as I walked into the dressing room to change my mufti.
I came out after putting on the cream colored straight gown. I grab a mop and a bucket of water and began cleaning the floor before any customer steps into the restaurant.
“Oh my God!.” Cathy exclaimed, staring at her phone.
“What’s up?.” Miranda, a co worker who came in minutes ago and joined me in cleaning the floor, asked Cathy.
“You won’t believe this Miranda!.” Cathy squealed happily.
“Huh?.” Miranda rushed to where Cathy stayed. The both of them are besties, very lousy and fun to be with.
“What is it?.” Miranda asked.
“Scott Wilson…..he is a ga.y!.” She says as Miranda gasped.
Scott Wilson??. I know him as a very wealthy person and well known all over the world but I never knew he is a ga.y.
“Omg!. I can’t believe this!. How could an handsome man like him be a ga.y??.” Miranda hissed.
“See, the video of him and his lover is all over the Internet.” Cathy tells.
Could he really be ga.y??. Or it’s just rumor??. Gosh, why do I even care about a rich person’s life. If he is a g.ay, it’s his life and not my business.
“And what are you two doing there??. Not working?!.” That was Mr Gary’s voice, our fierce looking boss who doesn’t tolerate nonsense.
Cathy quickly put away her phone as Miranda shivered in shock.
“We….we…are..” Cathy tried to speak but got cut off by Mr Gary’s hard look.
“I don’t care to know what you two useless excuses are!. Back to work or you both are fired, get it!?.” He barks at them as I faced what I was doing.
Thank God he met me working…..if not I would have received heavy insults from him.
“And you, be fast with what you’re doing, stop being sluggish.” He faced me.
“Yes sir.” I nodded in obedience.
“Lazy fellows!.” He says as he walked towards the direction of his office.
“Gosh, that was so close.” Miranda mutters.
“Yeah.” Cathy agrees.
“Let’s get to work guys.” I say as I do away with the mop and bucket.
Cathy collects orders from customers and hands over it to Miranda, the cook. While my duty is to serve the customers whatever they ordered for. I have been working in this restaurant ever since Aunt Clarissa retired from teaching.
She had to stop teaching cause of her health, the stress is too much for her so….she has asthma. The doctor said she doesn’t have to do anything strenuous, she has to rest.
I just hope she listens to the doctor’s instructions. She’s sometimes stubborn, she doesn’t listen to me anytime I tell her to stop stressing herself…
But anyways I have to keep working hard for the both of us. I have to make her proud, she has done a lot for me as an aunt. I love her so much and i promise to always be by her side.

SCOTT
I sighed angrily as I grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the wine cellar. I am so mad at myself for not being able to remember anything that happened to me. Who the fk did this sht to me??. Why???. I swear on my father’s grave that i’d kill whoever did this to me!.
I’d make sire I fk up the life of that ba$tard!.
I felt the vibration of my phone in my jean pocket. I brought it out and peered into the screen, a video call from sister Yuri. She must have found out.
? Hey sis.”
? Scott, thank God you picked my call.” She exclaimed with a small smile.
?How’s mom?.” I asked.
? She’s fine and in LA at the moment. So tell me, how did it happen to you?. I saw the news last night when I was about to sleep.”
?Does mom know?.” I questioned curiously as i walk to the couch and sat on it. I removed a pack of ¢igarette from my blazer, took one and light it.
? No. I don’t think so, she would be so busy to even watch the news. You know she doesn’t play with her business.” She replies.
?That’s good.” I puff out smokes at the screen.
? So, will you tell me how it happened?.” She asks again.
? I was set up.”
? By who?.” She gasps, placing her hands on her mouth.
?I fking don’t know sis, I was as surprised as you are right now. I saw myself half nked with a dude I haven’t seen in my life before, sleeping close to me and cuddling the sht outta me. Paparazzi came into the room and they took pictures of us.”
? Bro, are you sure you don’t know that man before?.” She furrow her brow at me.
?I don’t know him Yuri.” I scoffed angrily.
? Gosh, this is too much bro. If mom finds out about this, she’d be so heartbroken. What do you intend to do now??.”
?Ryan came up with an idea.”
? What is it?.”
?A marriage contract.”
? Well…., that’ll be a good idea. Then what are you still waiting for?.”
? Where am I supposed to find a lady who would sign a contract with me?. That’s why I need your help.” I say.
? You have lot of flings, why don’t you just pick one out of them?.”
? Nah….I want a descent one who will be capable of this job not a who.re who loves my thing.”
She sighed. ? I guess I’d be in America tomorrow then.”
? Thanks sis.”
? No wonder you picked my call, you always remember me whenever you get into trouble. Silly you Scott!.”
I smirked. ? You know I can’t call Tonia or mom but you. Tonia is a wtch, you know that.”
? Scott!.” She cautioned as she laughs.
? Am being serious, she is so annoying.”
? Yeah. Anyways, I’ll see what I can do. Always keep me in contact and don’t mess up again!.” She tells authoritatively.
? Yes ma’am.” I chucked.
? Alright, bye.” She says as she disconnects the call.
I sighed and dropped my phone. I seriously can’t wait for all this sht to be over so I can be free. I didn’t even go to work, paparazzi are everywhere. If I should step my feet out of this mansion, am sure they’re gonna bring up another ridiculous news.
Fk!. This is so freaking annoying!!!.
I grab my phone and placed a call to Jess. She picked up instantly as expected.
? Boo, I thought you’d never call.” She says.
?Can you come over to my house right now?.”
? Sure, will be there in twenty minutes.” She giggles.
? Alright.”

JESSICA SMITH
I got out of the bathroom after having a hot sx with Fred, one of my not too rich clients. He smirks when he sighted my presence as he laid on my bed, nked.
“Fred, ain’t you leaving??.” I say as I walked towards my closet for a dress to cover my body.
“Decided to spend the night with ya.” He grins stupidly as he sits up.
“You’ve paid me for the sx we had so take your leave, would ya!.”
“Common Jess, you know how much I love your thing. Let me stay with you.”
I sight a red strapless gown as I put in on. I faced him with my hand in akimbo.
“Get out of my house Fred, am expecting more clients today and it won’t be funny if any of them finds you here, lying nked on my be.d. So fk off, we can have sx tomorrow morning cause this night has already been booked.”
“Babe, don’t do this.”
“Am Jessica not your babe.” I snapped.
“Alright, fine!. Have heard ya, I’ll leave, just give me a call whenever your thing is wet.” He tells as he walked over to where his clothes are.
“Fk you.” I cussed.
I moved to my bed and sat on it, my phone rings. I picked it up as a smirk curved on my lips. Finally…..
? Boo, I thought you’d never call.” I say.
? Can you come over to my house right now?.” He asked, the phone was on loud speaker so Fred glared at me as I shrugged.
? Sure, will be there in twenty minutes.” I responded.
? Alright.” He says and hung up.
“Is that the dhead you were talking about?.” Fred asks, he is already dressed up.
“Mind your dmn business Fred and just get out of my house. Jealous fr.eak.”
“Fk you.” He scoffed as he left through my room door.
“Ahole.”
I stood up from the bed. I pulled off the gown and found a very sxy dress. I guess am gonna cancel my plans with Tom tonight for Scott. I wasn’t expecting he was gonna call me but am happy anyways.
