Chapter 1 THE COMPETITION

Angelina's point of view:

"Angelina, I have trust in you, I know you can do it, all you have to do is to believe in yourself and don't panic, and don't forget to wish the opponent best of luck and always put on a beautiful smile on that pretty face of yours" my mom Morgan Moore advised me about the competition I am going for today.

My name is Angelina Moore; I am from an average family. We are poor, my dad is a fisherman and my mom assists him in selling the fish in the market. I have a younger sibling abbey Moore and my dad is Raymond Moore, we live happily even without being rich.

Enough of me, well the competition is about biology, science is everything in this life well that is my belief because I love science. SCIENCE IS MY LIFE, I CANT DO WITHOUT IT.

I study all the science subjects in high school but my best subject is biology, I really want to study biology in university but due to the financial status of my family, I have to work to earn enough before go to college. I heard about this biology competition few months ago so I decided to apply for it. If I win this competition, I will win a sum of $15,000 and I would be able to provide a better shelter for my family. I would be able to buy better house in one of the estates in town. We live in a rough apartment that we rented at the rural side of the country which I don't like so I have that determination to buy us a house after all what is my job as the eldest child of the family. I am 21 years old; I should have been catering for the family and that's why I don't want to lose this opportunity.

"Come back to reality, Angelina. What are you thinking about; don't forget what I told you. I believe in you my child. And if you don't win, its okay we will just move on with our lives baby" she said, but I know I won't lose.

"No, mother I won't lose, are you not the one that always says that we should never stop until we achieve our goals and we should always have positive mind and I always to as you always say so now tell me how I will lose, never I won't lose because this is part of my dreams, mom you should know the type of child you have given birth to" I smiled at her, no matter how I will always make my parents proud.

"I have to go now, and don't forget to come exactly on time or else I won't eat tonight, well I am just joking you know I don't joke around with my food" I stood up, and went to the door

"And don't forget to pray for me, love you" I blew her a kiss and went out of the house to the hall that the competition will take place.

I got to the hall exactly the time I planned to get there. I revised and when it was time for the competition, I wished my entire opponents best of luck as my mom advised and wore a smile on my face even when I feel a little scared.

"WELCOME TO THE REALITY SHOW OF 2020, AS YOU ALL KNOW THE SHOW IS ALWAYS ABOUT SCIENCE, THIS YEAR THE COMPETITION IS ABOUT BIOLOGY, THE STUDENTS THAT WINS THIS COMPETITION WILL BE REWARDED WITH THE SUM OF FIFTEEN THOUSAN D OLLAR. SEAT BACK AND ENJOY THE VONTEST AS ITS TAKES PLACE THANK YOU" The host said through the microphone. The people cheered and applauded, gosh this is going be hard.

"............................... And the last contestant is Angelina Moore, she is twenty one and a biology addict, I can say she can't do without biology, please let give her rounds of clap" I waved to the people, what can I probably do anyway?

And the game began; I was asked severe questions regarding biology topics like: micro organisms, reproduction, eco system and so on. I got almost all the questions except two questions. That got me scared I found myself the final round. The final round was tough but still went through with it and I was good with my result.

The competition is now over and we are waiting for the result, during the competition I kept on recalling my mom's words which helped me a lot. Thank you God and mom love you.

The host came back on the stage to announce the winner, I started to chew my lip, and I do that when I am nervous, God almighty please help me out, and you know I really need this money.

"THE WINNER OF THIS YEAR'S SCIENCE CONTEST IS THE ONE AND ONLY BIOLOGY ADDICT, HER PERFORMANCE WAS COMMENNABLE. OUT F 50 QUESTIONS SHE WAS ASKED, SHE MISSED EIGHT QUESTIONS. SHE SCORED 80% OUT OF 100%, YOU HVE REALLY SHOWN THAT YOU STUDIED HARD FOR THIS COMPETITION. AND THE WINNER IS ANGELINA MOORE, YOU ARE AMAZING, GIRL. NEVER ONE HAS EVER SCORED UP TO THIS IN THE HISTORY OF REALITY CONTEST" I couldn't believe my ears, I won the contest. I didn't know when tears started to fall from my eyes; well they are tears of joy. My parents ran from the audience section to hug me whom I embraced, the truth is that I feel dumb right, it is like a dream right now. Of course that was part of my dreams.

"PLEASE COME FORWARD TO RECEIVE YOUR REWARD" the host said through the microphone. I went up to the stage with my family to receive the amazing blessing. The remaining scenes at the competition were blurring.

"Now Angelina you won't worry about your college fees" my mom said after settling in the living room.

"Mom, I can still do that by looking for work or going for scholarship programmers' but right now what I want to use the money to do is to buy house for house in a good estate. Mom I don't like this environment at all, the thugs smoke weeds and the smell won't let us sleep at night and moreover it is bad for dad's condition. I want us to have our own home instead of begging the landlord to give us time o gather the rental fee. Please dad and mom don't say no. Even I have searched for homes and I have seen portable home for us where we can have our own rooms and a big kitchen and separate toilets. I will pay for the house tonight" i said with a stern face which gives them the signal not to oppose my decision

"But Angelina........" my mom tried to talk.

"Please mom, just let's do this, I still have five thousand dollar, if I work hard I will get the remaining fee at before resumption. Please I beg you"

My dad started crying, i rushed to him to console him "Dad stop acting childish, its my duty and don't forget that I will always make you happy no matter what. Hmm if you don't stop crying I will start to cry too" I wiped his tears with my fingers. "Smile daddy or else"

"They are tears of joy drama queen lets me go and freshen up, thanks for saving our lives" he stood up and went straight to his room, my dad was never a was a carefree, he is so conservative and shy, he rarely talks

"Dad, will you stop that already" I said annoyed.

"Sorry"

I went to my room and I paid for the house, we will move in within a week. That's cool

God, thank you for today

And after that I fell asleep

Chapter 2 MEET THE MAN

Dave's point of view:

"Why did you break up with molly, Dave?" my friend Harris junior asked.

"I am tired of her shit, and why are you so concerned about it?" I replied him. I don't give shit, people say I am arrogant and heartless, I love my title like that anyway because no one dares to mess the one and only Dave martins. Being in this position is not easy, I worked non-stop day and night to be in this position. At my 25 years of age I accomplished what my dad or any other billionaires hasn't accomplished. I have multibillion companies but I am still in the third position of the richest man in Canada. But I am the hottest bachelor. I love that. Girls drill for me, they want to make me theirs but instead I sleep with them one night stand. I am not a predator but my body is not a firewood, when they seduce I take, and when I am tired I leave them. The life a playboy is fun.

"She is a good girl you know that" Harris said, Harris is my blossom friend, he is the tenth richest man in Canada. Harris is my rival, one of my competitors in business but in reality he is a friend I can't do without, I have known him since high school, his father is my dad's rival but we became friends.

"That is when she is out, all she knows is d! ck and my money, she asks me for expensive things every freaking day, 'send me gifts and surprises', does she think I have the time. The truth is that she is a sex maniac and a gold digger, just forget about her" I know why he is worried about her, he likes her. He even asked her out first but she chose me, I know he still likes her

"Don't you dare say that, she is a good girl and I know it, the truth is that you are a play boy" he said annoyed. Harris is short tempered like I am and that is what we have in common. Unlike me Harris is a loyal person always ready for relationships. I laughed at his reply

"You know that already about me so what, if you want her go get her, friend" I said

"Really, you have spoilt so many girls' life and you will still say that they are gold diggers, fuck you, you prick" he stood up angrily and walked out through the door.

"Calm down, dude. You should try that life someday" I laughed, so funny to see him like that, well he has never been like this before this id because of molly. I have better things to do instead of this. What I care about is my family and my career my work. He shut the door angrily and went out of my office. I went back to my work.

My personal phone rang, I picked it up. My dad holy shit he has a complaint again. I picked the call

"Hey dad" I said

"Don't hey me, why did you fire Bella" he said angrily, please don't question me about when I get my anger from obviously it's from my dad which is true, the is man is hot tempered

"I hired Bella with my money, I don't think you have the right to question my authority over her" I said

"Really? But that's bad you know, I will get you another maid"

"If you want to hire a maid for me, make sure she is a professional, I don't want irresponsible people in my house" I said, he always annoys me with this maid stuff.

"Okay, bye" he replied

"Bye my regards to mummy" I ended the call and went back to my work. Being a billionaire is not easy. I am a workaholic business man. My office phone rang, the phone is only meant for my stuff to call and inform me about their work or what is going on about their work. I picked it up

"Good evening sir, this is Michael, the estate management I called o inform you that the apartment that you have been put on sale has been paid for by a buyer. They are moving in to that house next week, sir" I am happy to hear that, I was already considering demolishing it off

"That good to hear, Michael you are doing a great job there, expect bonus this month"

"Thank you, sir" he said happily, who will not be glad to hear that anyway.

"Any information again" I asked

"Yes sir, the castle has been completed, you should come to give the colour they will use for the paint" he said

"Hmm, expect me tomorrow, bye" I told him and ended the call without waiting for his response.

I am so happy for that news, now that side of my estate has been filled. The castle has been completed. The castle worth's 300 million dollar, it has already been paid for by the owner.

Today is one of my happy days. Except from Harris, I know something is wrong with probably maybe he is jealous. My dude is jealous very funny.

I continued my work, looking forward still tomorrow.

Angelina's point of view:

"Hi mom hi dad, I have paid for the house, we will go for a check tomorrow and will move in next week" I told them, my mom hugged me but my dad just smiled.

"That is good of you Angelina, thanks my baby" my mom said.

"Thanks mom, you look extraordinary pretty today" she blushed, way to mess with her.

"Hmm dad, are you going for fishing? Please let me follow you" I said looking at him with my best begging eyes which he couldn't resist but the dad I have will turn me down.

"abbey will follow me, you and your mom should start packing up" he said I know he won't allow me to follow him, he hasn't been taking me for fishing since the day I fell from the boat and almost drown inside the water, then I was fifteen. My secret is that I don't know how to swim.

Since then abbey will follow dad to fish and I will follow mom to sell them, so bad. I love exploring the world that is why I always follow him to go fish but I am prohibited now.

"Okay, mom please let go pack" I said

"Sorry my drama queen" he said

"It's okay, bye. Have a good catch" I said

"Eager to pack up" my mom said

"Of course, our now I don't like this environment" I told her

I never liked this environment since when I knew where I live, I don't even go out to play except when I am going to school or going out with my family. This place is full of bad people and dirt.

I will never forget the day I was nearly sexually assaulted. I was 16 years old then, my mom was out to her friends place and my dad went for fishing as usual with abbey. It was in the evening, I went out to empty out waste bin. Then the smoker called me but I didn't answer, he stood up from the bench he was sitting on and made his way towards me, I made an attempt to run but he was faster than me, he griped my arm with his hand, he pulled me to his body forcefully and he whispered 'you are young and you look yummy, let me make you a woman' to my left ear. I tried to push him away but all my effort as in vain, he is way bigger than me and also he is a psychopath. 'Please let me go, I beg you in the name of the Almighty' I pleaded but he was determined, he took the advantage of me being fragile and that no one was at home. He started touching me inappropriately, I cried my eyes out, and I was helpless.

His hand always made its way to my panties but he was pushed away by my dad. My dad did everything to get him arrested and of course he was arrested and he was imprisoned for ten years with hard work for sexual harassment. But that doesn't change the fact that I always had nightmare about that unfortunate day, I had several panic attack and also phobia for any sexual activities or romance.

I didn't realize I was crying until my mom talked

"Why are you crying, dear" she has concerned

"Mom, nothing to worry about they are happy tears" I smiled and cleaned my face

"Let continue packing" I told her.

"Okay" and we did.

Chapter 3 THE HOUSE

Angelina's point of view:

"Dad, mom and abbey, let's go. We are running out of time. I yelled, of course I am eager to see our new house. I still wonder what they are still doing in the house; I am already at the living room, waiting for them to come out.

"Will you just shouting, Angelina?" abbey said, gosh this guy is so rude

"Shut up or I will kick your ass" I threatened; I know y threat is nothing to him because mom will interfere to support him.

"Angelina, don't be too harsh on your brother" I said it, I knew she was going to support him, sometimes I just wish I was him.

They came out to the living room together looking good but I won't lie, dad looks like a warrior ready to fight

"Dad, can you smile a little" I said, but instead he rolled his eyes, I wonder how mom is coping with him. But he is best dad in the world.

"Okay let's go since you guys are ready". I said

Ten minutes later, we are already in m dad's old minivan. He bought the van when he had his biggest catch during fishing. This van is my dad's concubine, because my dad spends most of his time with it and he always calls it his second wife so my mom decided to name it dad's concubine.

We are almost there, and I am super excited, we are already at the estate, abbey and I started admiring the amazing views of the beautiful houses built at this estate, only influential people live here like successful business people, politicians, etc. I wonder why the owner of this estate built that cheap house among all this luxurious homes.

"We are there" I shouted, wow the house is freaking beautiful, it might be a small house but it is freaking beautiful. I alighted from the car making my way towards the gate when I was stopped by a man in black suit.

"Hey who are you? We bought this house, understood" I confronted him

"I know madam; I am the agent of this house. I will show you around and you will have to sign all the necessary documents" he said calmly. Oh silly me, he looks like a bodyguard compared to an agent.

"Oh, okay let's go, you guys please move forward" I said.

The agent showed us around the house, well it might be a mini building compared to all the costly building around here but it is comfy and cool. We got to have our own rooms, its five bedroom apartment and each room has its own toilet perfect for me. We even have the luck to welcome a visitor without sleeping in the living room. The kitchen is way bigger than our previous kitchen and the living room is specious. We have our own privacy, unbelievable!

The house has its own company and garden surrounded by its fence. It is already painted in white colour. All we have to do is to bring our furniture's here and then we are good to go.

"You have to sign the documents madam" the agent said placing the documents on the kitchen cabinet.

"Dad should be the one to do that" I said. He was surprised.

"What? Angelina" he said

"Sign it please dad, I bought this house for us but specially for you, please sign it and lets go , you now I have a program to attend" he reluctantly took the pen and signed all the papers but not after reading them thoroughly. I can feel his pains and worries but am here for him.

We went out of the house. The agent locked the gate with padlocks and gave dad the keys. Expectedly, my house started roaming about the beautiful houses but stopped when it spotted one young looking man standing in front of the most beautiful house probably a castle, talking to a man who is also dressed in a suit, damn! The guy is handsome; he wore suited which makes him look corporate and he looks expensive. Well stylized hair, well statured body and what else, his face. Well, he is backing me I can see his face only his back.

"Angelina, you are digging holes at his back" abbey said which made him received a knock on his head from me

"Idiot" I said and went into the car. I can't stop thinking about him; wish I can see his face god. My dad started the car as soon as we are all inside the car and made a u-turn, seems like he heard the sound of our car and turned his head to see our car, he looks so amazing but what I don't like is that he looked at our car disgustingly. Fuck him. No one dares to blame us for our situation. No one saw him except me. Great!

Dave's point of view:

"You guys have done one amazing job here but the problem now is the paint they will use for this house, you know what Michael, call the queen to ask her about the paint I have so many work to do at the office" I said its like this is a waste of time, our ship is yet to arrive and also I have a conference meeting with the investors. And daddy, he has asked me to come to his scholarship program that he is holding today. What is this dad? Way to go.

"Okay sir, I will call her this evening" he said

"Then I will start gong, and monitor this house very well or else you will spend the rest of your life in prison" I threatened him. He nodded looking scared great.

Just In, the sound of a car roared in the air, I turned back to looked at the direction of the car. It's mini old van. What the fuck in my estate? I looked at it disgustingly yes its digesting to see

"What the fuck, what is this van doing in my estate? No tell me. This is a disgrace to me and my estate" I asked Michael, yelling. This is a total disgrace to me.

"It belongs to the owner of the house we just sold" rally that's great.

"You should have cheeked their background statue before selling it off to them, this is ridiculous" I said angrily

"It won't happen again sir" he apologised

My iphone eleven pro max rang and I picked it from my pocket. Molly's name flashed at the screen. A pin in the ass

I picked it up anyway.

"Yes" I said

"Your security guards are not letting me in to your house" she said in pretence to be in tears. I know all her tricks anyway.

"Yes I instructed to not allow you in. What part of our break up don't you understand? Molly" I said irritatingly

"You can't do this to me, Dave. We are in........." I hang up not wanting to hear that word, stupid woman.

I went inside my car and drove off.
