"get up Adele you are going to be late for school " leilena said tapping sleepy Adele, her foster sister she found when she moved to Les Vegas after leaving home
It's been five years she left home
Five years of misery
Five years of determination of making it in life without help from her father,mother nor her sister who married her fiance Grayson Dylan after she got pregnant for the mystery billionaire
She has moved to Los Vegas after her parents sent her away from home for getting pregnant at the age of sixteen
Not just getting pregnant but she was engaged then
She has gotten to Les Vegas and was taken in by Adele and her Mum Sharon whom she takes as her family now
"Ahhhhh sister it's too early " Adele groaned as she kept her eyes tight
"you are going to get late. And you know Victoria high isn't a school for late comers. Take your bath and come have your breakfast " leilena said as she walked out of the room she share with Adele
They weren't that rich tho
She took her coffee and took a sub out of it
She checked her time
She doesn't want to be late for work
"hurry up Adele, you know I have to drop you off before going to work" leilena uttured
"I'm coming sister " Adele yelled back
Leilena took the time to check out her outfit. A waiter at the famous Del Rio Restaurant needs to dress rightly and be punctual
"Adele...!" she called again checking out the time
"I'm here already" Adele said and Leila turned as she stared at Adele
Her skirt was getting short now
And of my God
Did she just see lipstick on Adele lips
For God sake she's just sixteen
"how many times will I tell you to stop applying lipstick to school " leilena yelled
"common sister is just lipstick. My friends applied too and they aren't dead" Adele replied and pulled a chair at the dinning room
Leilena huffed
Adele was still young
She doesn't want her to make the same mistake she made five years ago
"not because others does it doesn't mean you have to. There's time for everything " leilena said
"I know sister. Applying lipstick doesn't mean I'm going to school to seduce anyone. It's just lipstick " Adele mumbled
"are we going to talk about lipstick all day. You know you are still have to go to work " Adele asked
"whatever " leilena said
"quickly eat up as I checked on mum" leilena answered
She walked to her mum room and found her still sleeping
"we are off mum. Make sure you take your medications after eating " she said before shutting the door back
They left their small bungalow house and entered the old car that was parked outside their house
It was the only car owned by Adele mum
It was old already but still drives well
Adele entered and they drove out
.
.
.
Adele got to school right on time and met her two best friends Kate and Ashley
Victoria high is a school for rich brat but she was able to get a scholarship
and just then a limousine drove into the school
It was the school prince Chad
He came out of the car looking breath taking
Adele thought she was going to faint but Kate held her back
"don't faint yet" Kate mumbled
Her heart was beating so fast
She saw lots of student taking pictures of him
Who wouldn't
He fucking hot
But no one gets closed to him. He is such a grumpy cold guy
Chad walked into the school ignoring the attention of the students on him
They wasn't his class
.

"you make sure you behave well in school and don't get into a fight with your teachers" Alberto said to his cute little boy
"I will deal with anyone who crosses my way father" he yelled
"Ryan " Alberto yelled
"I'm off to school father" he said kissing his father cheeks
"just five years and he is acting like a grown up" Alberto mumbled
He checked the time
He wasn't going to the office today but he was going to his restaurant to check out how stuff have been going on there
Revising he droved out of the school compound
9:10am
Scotland
Amor sat at her office checking on the day schedules
The door opened and her father walked in
Jordan Connor was her father's name
" good morning dad" she said taking her coffee
"it's too early to drink. You need to get to work" her father said
She rolled her eyes
That's her father for you
"father is too early " she said
"yes but early enough for the world to start carrying rumors " her father said gritting his teeth
What did he mean
Amor thought
"look here" her father said handling his cellphone to her
"the same time, month . Five years ago when Amor Connor took her sister fiancee after her sister leilena got pregnant for an unknown billionaire " the message read
What's this
She thought her father has gotten rid of this five years ago
Her sister is gone so why can't the public let it be
It's been five years no one knows the whereabouts of her sister and it has remained the same since no one cares
To them leilena Dickson was a disgrace to the Dickson home
"it's fine father. I will handle it and speak to my husband about it " she answered
Les Vegas.......
Leila speed up as she drove to the restaurant her working place
She doesnt want to be late
Not today that the director of the restaurant is coming
Her manager will just get her fired, and that's the only work she was doing to pay for Adele fees
She got to the restaurant and was about parking when she saw another car about parking
She got vexed that was her spot
And wanting to park in there before the other car, she hit the car mistakenly
LEILENA
I came out of the car.
I watched as a man came out of the car I mistakenly hit
He was handsome tho and was well dressed in his suit but trust
He might be a business man i thought. I watched and waited for him to walk up to me
But to my utmost surprise he walked passed me. I mean I was thinking if he will ask me why I hit his car
I checked my time
I was damn late
I quickly hurried to the restaurant and change into our outfits
"you are late " Ann our manager said immediately she saw me
I rolled my eyes. I'm just some minutes late
I don't know why she don't like me
"you know we don't tolerate lateness. If this continues I'm sorry you will lose your job" she said and I scoffed
If not for Adele fees and mother treatment I would have stopped
"I'm sorry it won't repeat itself " I apologized
"take this dish to table 26 and come back quickly because as you all know the director is coming today" she said and I nodded
I can't still wait to see the director that has this popular hotel. I must confessed he will be fucking rich
I took the dishes and walked out of the kitchen to the restaurant
My eyes moved around searching for table 26
"Aha! " I mumbled as I saw it from afar
It was occupied by a woman and her little sin that I guessed might be 5 to 6 years
Just then I remembered my cute son and I didn't know when the tears dropped from my eyes
Albert was cruel for taking my son away. I know he wanted me to be his surrogate at first but I never agreed knowing the family I came from
Mum will surely kill me and then again it happened so fast and we had a night together
I fainted on my engagement day only to find out I was pregnant
Mum was mad at me and having no option than to send me away
We met by chance again and he had taken me in when he knew I was carrying his child
He took care of me and at a time I thought he loves me
Eventually he confessed that he loves me. I have been so blind my love and I believe
He took care of me till when I gave birth
Three months later when my baby was just 3 months old
I have left him alone with Albert to purchase some baby stuff
Tears fell from my eyes as I remembered what happened 5 years ago
FLASHBACK
"baby I'm home " I knocked on the door but there was no reply
I twisted the hand of the door but it didn't opened
"baby " I called knowing he didn't tell me he will be going out
"Albert " I called again but no response
"hey" someone called behind me and I turned to see our neighbor Alan
" I saw him leaving hours ago and according to him he was going to the airport" he said and I chuckled
That was funny
"stop the joke it's not time for it" I said and knocked on the door again
"believe me I'm not joking. Albert is gone and he even gave me this to give to you " he said showing me an envelope and slowly my smile faded away
He wasn't joking
I slowly took the envelope from him and it contains huge amount of money with a letter
The envelope fell from my hand as I opened the letter with shaking hands
"I know before you will open this, I and my baby would have gotten far. I have taken my baby away to raise him up myself. I came to New Zealand just to look for a surrogate mother. I met you at first and knew you will be the perfect one to carry my child. I have told you to be my surrogate and you refused. Sleeping with you that night wasn't an accident. I planned it" he said and tears rolled from my eyes
"I knew when you were pregnant for me. We didn't met by chance again but I made it possible by following your every moves. I never loved you. I only show you all those care because of my child . Use the money in that envelope to start a new life. Don't look for us because we are far gone. Bye Leila" the letter read
No!
No!!
I cried
This isn't true
I cried and cried
Having no choice I went back home to meet that my sister was already engaged
Mum and dad refused to have anything with me after ruining their reputation
I was send to go and never come back
Getting pregnant at sixteen was the worst thing I ever did to my parents
Using the money in the envelope I moved to Les Vegas where I met Adele and her mum
End of flashback
PRESENT
I wiped my tears coming back to reality but it was late already. I had bumped into someone and the dishes has poured on him
I gasped
"I'm sorry sir" I picked up the napkin trying to clean the mess on his suit
"you SHIT bag " he cursed and that's when I was able to look at his face
It was the man that I hit it's car
Now that he was so close I had some time checking him out. It's like I have met him somewhere but can't tell
Maybe it's just my imagination
"I'm sorry sir" I said cleaning his clothes
"get your sticky hands off me " he roared and everyone turned towards us
I rolled my eyes
I have said sorry already so why was he trying to make a big deal out of it
If Ann see this she will surely get me fired
"you are such an incompetent worker. Do you know how much this suit cost" he said and I scoffed
Definitely he was trying to make something out of it
But I won't let him
"Tell me how much it cost and I will get it for you " I said
I watched him look at me in horror and then replace it with a smirked
"interesting " he uttered
"it cost $950,000,000" he said and my eyes widened
It surely cost a lot
Even if I walk here all my life my salary wouldn't meet up
He snapped his fingers at my face bringing me to reality
"huh! You can't afford it right " he said
"poor people like you are just shit bag trying to get on rich people nerves. It didn't suit you getting attention from me. You are such a slut " he said the last part making me slapped his face so hard
How dare him insult me
He has gotten this far
Murmuring followed immediately
"what have you done lena" I turned to see Ann our manager
"you just slapped the director of this restaurant " she asked more like a question
Wait a minute
What did she just say
I immediately gasped
I just slapped my boss.
ADELE
We all settled down as Mr. Jude walked him
The noise seized since all the students were afraid of him
I sat with Kate
Mr Jude was half way in his teaching when he walked in
I raised my head and then our face met. I immediately look down smiling sheepishly to myself
I knew I got goosebumps
The butterfly in my stomach started making those crazy noise
"Adele" I heard my name faintly but was too oblivious to asked
I was happy Chad stared at me. A whole chad
"it's just a look " my sub conscious mind yelled at me but I rolled my eyes
A stare that mean a lot to me
"Adele!! " I heard my name much loudly making me jerk back to reality to see Mr Jude standing right in front of me
The whole class attention was on me
"uhmm... Huh..ugh.. " I couldn't process what to say
"hi" I waved my hands in front of him and the class burst into laughter
Mr Jude cold face stared back at me. I swallowed hard
What did he expect me to do
"I asked you a question Adele" he said
I squeezed my eyebrows
When??
How??
"I don't get sir. You never asked me any question sir" I said and the class burst into laughter again
" Your mind was occupied with something else in my class. Take your bag and leave the school premises. No classes for you today. Go home and continue what you have been thinking " he roared as I swallowed hard
I stared at the whole class
This man just embarrassed me in front of Chad and now I won't be able to see Chad through out today
"you are wasting our time miss Adele" his voice came in again
I quickly took my bag and run out
Leilena will surely scold me today
I can't believe I just miss a class
*****
I got home to see mum food still on the dinning the way leilena left it
It's strange tho
I walked upstairs and opened her room I gasped at what I saw
ADELE
Las Vegas........
"mother" I shouted running towards her
"mother" I called again crunching down to her
She wasn't answering me
She was still
No!
I place my head on her chest. I can't even tell if it's still beating or not
"I need to call Leila... " I mumbled searching for my phone
I place a call to her and waited for her to pick up but she didn't
"common pick up " I uttered running my hands on my head
I waited and waited
But she didn't pick up.
I groaned!
What should I do now.
"maybe I should look for help outside" I thought and ran outside to see if I can get someone to help out
LEILENA
I gasped.
He was my boss
"you just slapped him" Ann added and I groaned
Why did he had to be him
I clenched my fists not wanting to punch his face
"your attitude was out of place. I'm sorry but you are fired" Ann said and I groaned out
"no need to get me fired because I quit" I uttered
I can't stand having an arrogant jerk as my boss
I would have quit anyway
Taking one glance at him I cursed as I caught him smirked
Without hesitation I ran out
**********
I changed back to my outfit
I can't believe I just lost my work. The job I had try to secure for months now
Finding a job in Las Vegas was so hard. Especially when you don't have connections
How will I take care of Adele fees and mother
I groaned and I didn't know when the tears fall.
I had been a stripper since last five years without mum and Adele finding out
But I stopped immediately I got a job at the restaurant this yeae
Will I go back being one now" I mumbled and shook my head
Why did it have to be me
Just then my phone rang. I checked the caller and it was Adele
She is supposed to be in school
She shouldn't tell me that she took her phone to school
I picked up my phone and pick the call
"leila you need to come quick. Mum is dying " she said and my eyes widened
How
When
"how? What happened " I asked
"I don't know. I came back from school to meet her laying lifelessly. Someone has helped me carried her to the hospital. I will send the address. Please come fast " she said and cut the call
This can't be happening
She's all we got
I put my phone back in my bag and left the dressing room
.
.
.
.
"what do you mean she is diagnosed with cancer " I said looking at the doctor
"yes dear and she needs treatment to control it " he said and I heaved
"so how much does this treatment cost" I asked
"just $120,000" he said and my eyes widened
he called $120,000 "just"
"it's huge amount of money " I thought
"you need to pay half of the money, If not am sorry the treatment won't commence" he said
"you need to do that before tomorrow so we can start the treatment immediately to avoid much complicated issues " he said and I nodded slowly
How will I even get the money
I walked out of his office. My savings Is not even up to it and to crowd it up I just lost my work
Such a pathetic day
"will mom be fine" Adele said coming towards me
I slowly nodded
I can't allow her to die
There's only one option remaining
I breathe in. I got no choice
************
"you came back " Becca the head of the sex workers asked
"it's just for tonight. I needed the money that's why " I replied
"Surely they will be so happy to see you perform tonight. Most of them even asked about you " she rapped
So great
It's just for tonight!!
I'm not a sex worker but a stripper. So don't think I'm a slut
And mother will be the only reason for performing tonight
I checked the time and it was not yet evening
I will sit back and wait till its evening before getting ready
I picked up my mask and breathe in deeply
Alberto Del Rio pov
"I have told you Ryan! Stop fighting in school " I said to my little boy as I drive down the city, I'm just taking him back from school
I had wasted much time checking out on the hotel and finding out about that girl that has the nerve to slap me in public
I will make sure she go down for it
"I didn't want to fight with him father but he keeps getting on my nerves " he cursed
"he said I don't have a momma. It's that true father" he asked
Not again!
I stared at him and then focused on the road
"father where's my momma " he asked again
"I have told you Ryan stop taking about your mummy" I said
"why father?? I want to see my momma " he cried out
Not now
I hate it when my son crys
"stop crying. I will get you to see momma okay" I said
"really father?? " he asked
I nodded as I was far in thought
How will I get my boy a mother
****
I had drop Ryan with his nanny
It was pretty late and I needed someone tonight
Its been long I have...........
You know, I don't need to say it and I needs someone I can fuck the hell out of
Picking up my car keys I left the mansion
.
.
.
I sat at the corner of the club taking a sub from my drink
My gaze moved to the girl performing on stage
The way she dance seducely with the stripper pole
I stared at her with my eyes full of lust
"I want her" I mumbled to myself
I stared at her. The dress she wore hardly covered her butt and boobs
She had a mask on her face
I beckoned on the manager
"I want that girl " I said to her
"I'm sorry sir, she's not a sex worker here " she said
I groaned
How dare her alter me
"I said she's the one I want. Name your price " I said still not taking my gaze off her
"I'm really to give $200,000,000" I said and I watched her gasped
I smirked
That's how far I can go in getting what I want
