Locked up

" What are you talking about?" She frowned. There was no possible way that the stranger was her sister's boyfriend. She looks way below his league. " You know what we're talking about, stop feigning ignorance already! " Sasha chimed in not feeling very pleased by her father's reaction.

" Wait wait y'all. " Dylan held up his hands with a chuckle. " You want to recheck? I mean there's no way one would actually believe that dork goes to a night club. Have you even seen the way she dresses? Not even a fly would be attracted to such–" He was about to continue when he noticed that they were all serious. They weren't here to mock her? He thought... " Yesterday night, I caught her wearing a designer dress that revealed delicate parts of her body, and followed her only to see her dancing in a night club as a stripper.

" She said in a serious tone and glared at Regina who had her jaw slacked open. " You don't need to deny it. After all, I have pictures of you doing what you do best. Seducing men, and stealing other people's boyfriends.

" She scoffed and clicked her tongue in annoyance. Her eyes were red as she balled her fists hard. " My phone was stolen yesterday, but luckily I was able to retrieve the pictures from last night after getting myself a brand new phone. " Everyone stared at the phone Sasha was holding. Regina wanted to deny the striper part, but let it be.

'Its of no use anyway.' She sighed as she watched her sister add more to the story. " Dad, can you see the disgrace she's brought into our family? We're renouned business entrepreneurs for goodness sake." Sasha shook her head with pity and glanced at get from head to toe with disgust. " Aeh, so is this like bad if the Harrisons find out?" Dylan chimed in and the atmosphere turned cold. He threw his arms up in the air mindlessly.

" I'm just saying. After all the contract indicated a pure partner. Our sister has gotten herself super dirty. "

" We have to make this work at all cost. Kimberley, we're locking her up till the day of the engagement. This must work! This has to work! " Donald yelled out in frustration and almost slammed his daughter's phone against the wall. Kimberley, Regina's mother glanced over at him with a small chuckle, and then back to Regina.

" Look here child, you still have a chance to redeem yourself, and if I were you I would be happy that I'll be getting another shot at proving worthy." Regina frowned. " I'm moving out, I don't need to prove myself worthy of your trusts. I've tried so many times in the past but it never worked. " She finally got up fully from the bed and pointed towards a travelling bag. " There." " Dad said we're locking you up, you fool. " Dylan grinned.

" Not if I stay, right?" Regina retorted and then made to pick up her phone when Sasha suddenly snatched it. " You're going nowhere, bitch." Sasha walked closer to Regina and slapped her hard like she'd been practicing. " This is for Marcus, my boyfriend." She slapped her on the other side of her cheek and spoke up again.

" This is for being a bitch." Regina felt furious, but Dylan pushed her, making her fall back on her bed. " Think twice before trying to retaliate." This time he looked serious and his eyes were cold. Kimberley chuckled and patted Sasha's shoulder. " Look, she's already suffering from her bad deeds." " From today, till the engagement with Damian Harrison, you shall stay locked up with no food. You can drink your toilet water though, I won't stop you. This is puhnishment for harassing your sister and being wayward." Donald announced with a Stern look and beckoned the rest to follow him. " Let's go." Regina's eyes widened.

She quickly got up from the bed. " My phone! " But it was too late! They'd all gone, leaving her alone in silence. The pain she felt from the slaps became numb and her head started to spin. Tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to scream, but she couldn't.

This wasn't going according to how she'd planned one bit! How will she reach her friends without her phone? How will she be able to escape from this horrible reality? Isn't this torture worse than death itself? As if realizing that she'd be ending up suffering more than this once she got married, she quickly ran toward her bedroom door and banged on it like crazy.

" Let me out! Please just let me out!! " " Mom! Dad! " She finally mustered the courage to scream. " NO!!" She held her head and buried herself in screams. Her dream would get crushed! How would she continue her studies at this rate?

As the best student in her course, should couldn't just let something stop her from achieving her goal to become a medical practitioner. After waiting for some hours she finally gave up on screaming and lay down in sorrow. " Why?" She said, with a voice barely above a whisper. She balled her fists and tears started to gush out.

" Why?!! Why?!! " She continued to wail loudly. Sasha who was enjoying her sister's screams did an audio recording of her cries and did a little editing with the clips she had on her phone. The times when they'd bullied her and made her cry. She posted the short video.

" This should teach you a lesson. " She smirked devilishly. Dylan sat casually in the main room with his head buried in the screen of his phone. " Make her stop, her screams are getting pretty annoying. " He complained. " Isn't that how you like it, Dylan." Sasha grinned. Dylan paused and turned to look at Sasha with a look of interest. " Tell me what really happened.

"She's not a stripper, is she?" Sasha rolled her eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face. " Maybe." She shrugged. " Aeh, I see. " Dylan's face dropped a little. " Was she really with your boyfriend? " Sasha was now irritated with Dylan's questions and rolled her eyes. " What is it? " Dylan raised his brows questioningly. " I'm the only one here, sis."

" I mean it, she might not be a stripper, but she did go to a night club yesterday. I saw her and her friend, Flora holding—" She paused and took out her phone. " Here, that's Marcus with both her and her friend." " Are you sure? Nobody apart from I, have actually seen him in real life. " He sneered.

" I don't care, I'm breaking up with Marcus today. I'm fed up with him anyway. " She let out a sigh and then checked her Instagram to see memes of her sister's crys going viral, A smirk appeared on her face after she noticed that her followers skyrocketed.

She opened the comments section with a big grin and then her face fell the instant she read the comments. " You've got to be kidding me!"
