Brought back your bangle

   "Drake"Victoria exclaimed. Drake, who was quite surprised at her sudden appearance,was quiet for a while but after realising who it was, his eyes widened in annoyance.

   "Victoria, what a wonderful surprise". clearly not "What are you doing here?". Drake asked.

   "Shopping as you can see. But you look good, no lovely. What have you been doing?". she asked, completely ignoring Jessica who had been watching them for a while now with curiosity. Drake saw what Victoria was doing and introduced Jessica to her.

    "This is Jessica, my girlfriend. I came to shop for her". he said introducing Jessica. Jessica smiled at the word "girlfriend" coming out of his mouth. She stretched and shook hands with Victoria even though she already didn't like how she is. Victoria continued asking Drake more questions as if she didn't want him to leave.

    Jessica felt something eating her up. She felt something pierce her heart, and that thing was jealousy. She was finding it difficult to control her jealousy of seeing Drake talk to another woman like that. Even though she was about to act selfishly, she intentionally made a move to pull him away from her.

    "Drake, It's time to take my pills, and I don't have them here". she said.

   "Oh oh, yeah sorry love". he said and helped her to the car before turning around "Victoria, see you another time, I have to go fend for my beauty here".Drake said teasing Jessica.Victoria quickly asked for his phone number and since he didn't want to create a bad impression, he gave it to her no matter how hesitant he was.

     "How long have you known her?".she asked on their way to the house.

   "Since high school". he answered.

   "ok". She replied,  after a moment…

   ".What was your relationship with her?".

   "Friends". Drake replied. 

   "Ok".

Ok. Is that all she could say? Wasn't she going to ask how she meant to him and if anything ever happened between them. A smile procured on Drake's lips as he thought of Jessica being jealous, but kept it to himself. 

   Victoria was overjoyed on her way back to her house. She had finally accomplished her mission of getting into contact with Drake. Now that she has his contact, she has to go to plan B, which is to destroy his relationship with Jessica.

    "Sir, we got the information you asked us for".The guard said.

   "Good, at least I know I don't pay you for nothing". Eduardo said. "Now, let's get going ".

"

" 

    "You stupid girl, is that all you could get. How is this going to feed me and also buy my beer, you dirty little trash. Why did I even take you in anyway, I should have just left you to die on the street if I didn't want someone to clean the house".Belinda growled at Carissa.

    Carissa ran off to her room which looked much more like a dog's shed. In her room, she burst into tears as she couldn't hold them anymore. Why is nature treating her this way. What did she do wrong to be treated like this?

    Even someone's pet was being treated much better than her. If only she knew who her family was, she would have been in a much better condition than this. She heard her name being called by the devil herself and she knew a wrath was about to be brought upon her again.

    Carissa dear, someone is here to see you". Belinda smiled at her which Carissa did not understand. This woman only acts nicely to her when there is a visitor, but when there was no one, she would show you her demon side. Carissa came out of the room to see who could have come to see her since she had no friends but was taken aback by who she saw.

    "hey". Eduardo greeted her excitedly. Carissa was shocked and couldn't reply immediately. Eduardo waved his hand at her trying to grab her attention, which worked.

   "h..i..".she replied shyly as she bowed down her head nervously

   "I didn't come to cause you any harm, just brought you back your bangle". he said, giving her the bangle she wore the time he saw her.

  "oh". was all she managed to say in the meantime "thank you".she said and took it from him. He turned around to leave when she suddenly asked

   "Are you leaving so early". she asked, seeming disappointed. Slowly he turned around to look at her. He met her gaze and stared deeply into her green eyes. Those eyes of hers were so tantalising. He wonders if she knew the kind of effect her eyes had on him.

   "I would like to stay but I don't think that will make you hap…".

   "No I don't mind". she quickly said before he could finish his sentence. She didn't know why, but she felt somehow happy that her saviour had come to visit her. How he knew her house she didn't know and didn't care, but what she knew was that men like him have power to do a lot of things beyond expectation

    He sat down and they chatted a little bit before he decided to leave since he had work to do. What made him happy was, even though he still doesn't know a lot about her, he knew something and could see her again. Before leaving, he called for Belinda and handed her an envelope full of money.

     Because he already knew the woman's attitude to Carissa through the information he got, he wanted to give her something she had never seen before. After, he gave Carissa a kiss on her cheek which made her blush, winked at her and then left. As soon as the door closed, Belinda tore the envelope and what she saw made her scream.

    The envelope was loaded with money, each note a $100, which could buy her about two crates of beer. Carissa shook her head and went straight to her room to have her rest. She didn't know much but by what she knew, this was just the beginning.
