💕Madison💕
“I c@m£ out of the bathroom and I saw Romeo with my phone”
“What are you doing with that”
“Um..someone called..I think Jason or something”
“Jason?That’s my brother gimme that”I rushed to him and took the phone from him
“Brother?”
“Yeah brother”
‘Oh thank God”he breathed out with his hands on his che-st…don’t tell me this guy was alre-ady thinking of something else
“What’s there to thank God for”
“Nothing..but um…when I picked,it was the voice of a woman I heard”
“A woman?”
“Yes,she said she nee-ds to speak with you urgently..and her voice sounded sick”
“Hmm”I hummed as I placed a call throu-gh Jason but its saying switched off
“His phone is switched off”I said and he raised his brow
“What else did the woman say?”I asked
“Nothing,she just kept saying’i nee-d to speak to Madison..give the phone to Maddy”
“That’s confusing”
“Yup”
“Don’t think about that okay,don’t bother yourself”he said pu-lling me to sit on his l@p and I nodded,but still,I nee-d to know who used Jason’s phone to call me
THE NEXT DAY
“Hurry up babe,we’re gonna be late you know”Romeo called from downstairs
“Coming”
I added the finishing t©uçh to my hair and I glanced at my f!ngers,I can’t believe Romeo had his name written on my nails,my b©yfri£ndis something else
I gr@bb£d my backpack and left the room
“We’ve been waiting since”Romeo whined and Mitch who was in his arms also nodded
“Well,sorry”
He took my hand and we got to the garage
“Mitch,which car do you like”Romeo asked and I g@sped,is this guy kidding me right now
“U mm mm…that one”he pointed to a black Bugatti and Romeo grinned
“So…do you want it”
“Dude”i screamed and he grinned
“Are you serious right now”
“Yeah,he’s old enough to have a car of his own you know”
Old enough?this guy is just two years old,what type of br@in is this guy using..he hasn’t even bought me a car and he’s buying Mitch a car..what effrontery
“I want it”Mitch squealed and I scoffed
“Okay buddy,that’s your car from now on”
“Romeo”I screamed
“What…anyways let’s get going,we don’t wanna be late”
He opened the backseat and he placed Mitch to seat,I stumped to the door of the pas-s£nger seat and I got in,Romeo got in and he started the car
I turned to him with a glare and he gave me a “what”look
I huffed and looked away
He drove Mitch to school and he proceeded to our school
“Hey babe”he called as we drove and I ignored him
“Hey why the attitude”he asked with a slight push on my shoulders
“Are you seriously getting Mitch that car?”
“Yeah…is there anything wrong with that?”
“No..but…never mind”I turned to the window and I felt his hand on mine,I turned to look at him and he had a worried look on
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Oh my Gosh no Romeo…like seriously,you did nothing…why would you even think that”
“Well,you’re not your usual self so I thought maybe I did something to upset you”
“Oh Romeo”I said with a slight head shake
I leaned up to his cheek and tried to pe-ck him but he ended up turning ma-king me to k!sshisl-ips
“You did nothing okay,just drive,we’ll be late you know”I said with a smile and he nodded
He alre-ady thinks he’s done something to upset me,this guy just gets worried at every slightest thing that is wrong with me,I turned to look at me and he still had that worried face on..I pray this guy won’t kill himself over me
Romeo held my hand as we walked into the school,and as usual,eyes were following,phones up in the air,don’t these people get tired at all?
Since I started d@t!ngRommy,I’ve had countless of people trying to make friends with me while the fans of Tiana always s£nd me glares anytime they had the chance…they think I “snatched”Romeo from Tiana..
Why will I snatch someone else’s man?The mistake Romeo made was that,he didn’t break up with Tiana first
I un-derstand that..Romeo had to do a live broadcast last week telling them that I didn’t snatch him,that he was the one that made the mistake
I remember that day like a pla-yback movie
🔙FLASH BACK🔙
“You guys should st©p ma-king Abby look like a bad person,she’s not..she’s just a sweet girl that I fell in love with,look,I know all of you knew Tania as my girlfriend but throu-ghout the time I was d@t!ngher,there was nothing like love,I actually d@t£d hee because I had nothing to do and I found out she has a crush on me so I was like…why not give it a try,I might fall as time goes on
But no,nothing like that happened,we all knew Tania as a gentle and sweet girl before she started d@t!ngme but when she started d@t!ngme,she changed drastically,she bec@m£ too obsessed with me,too possessive,she bec@m£ rude,the found being my girlfriend as a medium to do whatever she likes because no one was gonna correct her just because she’s my girlfriend
I’ve always tried to correct her but it always ended in heated arguments…so I grew tired of her behavior but I didn’t break up with her because I had hope that she would change
Then,Abby c@m£ along,after our bu-mping incident in the cafeteria,all I wanted to do was to apologize to her because of how Tania fired at her that day,I felt bad..really bad
I apologized,she accepted my apology,then we bec@m£ friends but as time went on,I wanted more…I wanted to be more than her friend…Abigail was such a nice and perfect girl…the very day I saw her,I had this perspective of her ma-king a perfect girlfriend
I fell so de-ep in love with her that I just wanted to be with her not minding whatever it took
So,when Tania confronted her back then in the hallway,she felt bad and it was all my fault…I made her look like a home breaker…I’m the one to be blamed because I was the one ma-king advances towards her not the other way round..she also had feelings for me but she didn’t want me to know because I had a girlfriend…
I was heartbroken so I took two weeks off from school and every other thing,I couldn’t get her out of my head..it was like I was cursed..so I had to take the risk,I told her I was re-ady to do anything for her..I told her she should be my girlfriend not minding what it takes,but she was worried because of my girlfriend but I convinced her that she wasn’t my girlfriend anymore
So yeah,I lied,I told her I’ve broken up with Tania so it ain’t her fault…its mine so plea-se and plea-se no shabby words should be thrown to Abby or else the person would have me to deal with.. I don’t joke with my girlfriend”
🔚END OF FLASH BACK🔚
Since then,everyone has been friendly with me,even the idiots that threw words at me apologized that they were sorry and boom!our relationsh!phas been going smoothly
No Tania,no fan wars,no unnecessary discrimination..it has been a peaceful month
“Abby”I heard Crystal squeal from her locker and I pe-cked Romeo on the cheek before I went to her
“Watsup bae”i gave her a hvg and I heard a scream behind me ma-king me to turn abruptly in fear
“Bianca”I whined with my hand on my che-st
“That was creepy”Crystal said
“Whatever,how you guys doing”
“Well,we’re doing fine as usual”I replied with a shrug as we walked to clas-s
“You guys know the competition is in..”Crystal counted her f!ngersand she squealed
“Four days”
“Wow…its here alre-ady,I can’t wait to meet Franco”Bianca said dreamingly
“Ooohh..I know that face”I said wiggling my brows
“Don’t get the wrong idea,I only want to meet him because I know he’s gonna bring his madness with him and I always like when he shows his madness to Romeo and boom!they start throwing punches”Bianca said and I rolled my eyes..typical Bianca source of happiness
“And that makes you…”Crystal trailed off
“Excited and happy and hyped,I love it when boys fight”she said and I shook my head
She likes it when boys fight?What kind of friends do I have exactly
“Hey guys”we heard Ken’s voice and unexpectedly,he sat on his seat and placed his head on his desk,normally,he would have c@m£ to our seat and give us his usual hvg and pe-ck,so why is today now different,why does he look sick
“Ken”I called but he didn’t answer,I turned to Bianca and she raised her hand up signifying she’s also as confused as I am
Romeo c@m£ inside the clas-s and he gave me a wi-nk before he sat beside Ken,maybe he would find out what’s up with Ken
The bell rang and the teacher went out of the clas-s,Ken went out almost immediately and I nudged crystal
“What?”she asked
“Go meet him”Bianca said and I nodded
“But..
“No buts..go”I said and she sighed before standing up and running out of the clas-s..they should just make up and d@t£ alre-ady
💕Crystal💕
“Ken…Ken…Ken!!”
I kept screaming his name but I couldn’t find him
“Where could he be”I said to no one in p@rticular as I searched everywhere for him,I felt a hand cover my mouth and pu-ll me to somewhere I don’t know
“Shh..its me”he re-moved his hand from my mouth and I screamed silently
“Ken?..you scared me”
“I’m sorry”
I huffed and arranged my dress well
“What are you doing in…”I looked around”the janitor’s closet?”
“Nothing”he replied with a shrug and I eyed him suspiciously
“Anyways,I just c@m£ to check on you,since you c@m£ this morning with a bas vibe so I wanted to know whether you…
“Crystal”he cut in leaning forward
“Y..yes?”
“What did I do?”he asked
“Wha…what do you mean”
“You’ve been acting different with me for the past three weeks,you gave me an attitude that I don’t like,whenever I try to talk to you,you brush me off,your expression changes whenever I’m with you,you don’t even annoy me anymore”
“Why are you bothered,you want me to annoy you?”
“As a matter of fact yes,I tried to act tough at first but I can’t take it anymore,your silent treatment is killing me Crystal..plea-se just tell me what I did Wrong”
I smiled mentally at his speech,this is fun
“You did nothing…I’m gonna go”I proceeded to t©uçh the door knob but he pu-ll-ed me back
“What do you want”
“I want you to st©p giving me a silent treatment…I want my Crystal back,I…I missed you”
Don’t let what he just said get to you Crystal…don’t let it get to you..oh fv¢k it my expression has changed,I also can’t take this anymore
“I..Ken..
“I’m sorry”
“For what..you didn’t do anything wrong”
“No..I’m about to do something wrong”
“And what’s that”
He sighed and leaned close to me,before I knew it,he placed hisl-ips on mine and my eyes wi-de-ned in shock,I regained myself and I reciprocated the k!sswra-pping my arms round his n£¢k,I guess Bianca and Abby were right,the plan worked.

💕Crystal💕
We pu-ll-ed out of the k!ssand he placed his forehead on mine,I looked into his face and he had this mixed expression on
“Crystal”he called and I hummed
“I just…I don’t really know what to say,there are a lot I want to say but I don’t know where to start,I’m confused”
“You are free to say it whenever and however you want,just tell me when you’re re-ady,I also have things to say to you”
“So..how about a d@t£..say,tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow works for me..see you at 9pm”I said and left the closet,it finally happened,I k!$$£d Ken!!someone should hold me or I’ll die of excitement,I can’t believe it,i just hope he didn’t k!ssme because of k!ss!ngsake,I hope he feels the same way for me,I can’t wait for tomorrow to come,I hope what he wants to tell me wouldn’t be disappointing
I walked to clas-s and I couldn’t hold the grin sneaking to my face,i sat down at the middle of B and Abby and they both stared at me waiting for me to talk,I sighed and I squealed
“We k!$$£d”I whisper yelled and they both went silent before they gave the loudest squeal ever
“Are you kidding me?”Abby asked
“No…we really k!$$£d..I still can’t believe it”
“Oh my gosh..okay,what else happened”Bianca asked
“Nothing..he only told me he has a lot to say and he’ll say all of em tomorrow”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yeah..we’re going on a d@t£…I can’t wait for it to come honestly”I squealed and they both squealed with me,I can’t wait to get out of single zone
💕Jackson💕
I was coming out of the bathroom after a bathe when I saw Clara with my phone and a shocked plus furious expression on her face
I walked to her and snatched the phone from her grasp
“Jackson are you insane”I screamed at me and I stared at her in confusion
“What do you mean”
“What the hell are you planning with some Tiana girl,what does she mean by the operation to destroy Madison,what the hell is going on”she fired and I g@sped
“Did you re-ad my messages”
“That’s not the fv¢king deal right now,the deal is that why the hell are you bent on ma-king Madison’s life a living hell”
“Hey…you paid me to leak her nûd£s so we aren’t different”I said as a matter of fact
“No,we are different,I have a conscience and it haunts me every blessed day,I’ve got to realize that what I did was devilish and if I have the chance to change the past I would gladly do so but you,you don’t even feel remorseful,you’re ganging up with some girl to destroy her again…haven’t you had enough?”she yelled
“I don’t fv¢king care of what you think”I yelled back
“Oh really?then watch me call Madison and tell her all about your plans”she said going to her phone
“Clara put that phone down”
“I’m not!”she yelled and she dialed the number..I rang and fear gr!pp£dme,
“Clara out the damn phone down”I yelled but she didn’t budge
I rushed to her and tried to snatch the phone from her but she was quic-k to dodge
The call was picked and fear gr!pp£dme
“Hello Madison..don’t bother about who is speaking to you but….
Unconsciously,I gr@bb£d an object that was on the stool beside me and I pierced her with it,I reached for the phone on the floor and I cut the call
“Ja..jackson”i heard Clara call in a low frail voice and I turned to my side,what I saw shocked me..Clara,in the pool of her own blood,my eyes trailed to her tummy and that was when it dawned on me that I pierced Clara with a knife,I bent to her and I placed my hands on her bleeding tummy
“Don…don’t do it”
Was all she said before her b©dy went cold,I’ve just killed a person,I’ve just murdered Clara,oh my God.. you can hi Ishmael on+233544142683 to be added to story headquarters room for more stories. what I’m I gonna do
I panicked round the room with beads of sweat on my forehead,I wore my p@n-ts and shi-t and I rushed to the kitchen sto-re,I took a big bag out and i went back to the room,I unZi-pped the bag and I placed Clara in it Zi-pping it back up with the knife inside
I carried the bag that contained clara and I took the stairs to the driveway,I looked around to be sure if anyone was looking before I proceeded to my car,I dropped the bag into the backseat and I drove off with my hands trembling and my heart pounding ha-rd on my che-st
I made for the bridge and I got out of the car,I made sure I wore a hoodie and face cap so as not to be recognized
I looked for any cars or anyb©dy near the area and fortunately,I found no one
I quic-kly went to the backseat and I carried the bag out,I went to the railings of the bridge and I sighed de-eply before throwing it over the bridge to the water below
“I’m sorry Clara”I said with tears in my eyes before I drove off
💕Romeo💕
“So what did you find out”I asked my pri-vate investigator
“Well,our spy has been seeing her with countless meetings with this guy”he said pushing five pictures to me,well,I guess you might be confused so let me explain…last month when Tania announced her “sudden”dep@rture,for some reason I wasn’t at rest,I knew something was up her sleeves but I couldn’t place my hands on it,so I hired a pri-vate investigator to s£nd spies to monitor her every movement so as to know her motive,well,she hasn’t been showing any suspicious move,until last week and I’m suspicious..very suspicious of that guy
“Run a background check on that guy for me ASAP”I said and he nodded
“What about Abby’s mother”
“Well,sir,the lady is the definition of miserable,she has been seen in bars drinking and always saying “I want to see my daughter”,the poor woman really misses her daughter”
“Hmm…I know what to do,give me her number”
He wrote the number down in a piece of paper and stretched it to me,I collected it and I twirled it between my f!ngers
“Make sure no harm comes to her okay”I said and he nodded
“Well,I gotta take me leave now..”I said standing up
“Yes sir,I’ll run a background check on the guy just like you requested,tonight latest,I’ll s£nd it to you”
“Good”
We shook hands and we exited the bar,I went to my car and I took off my shades and hoodie as soon as I got it,I didn’t want anyone to recognize me,I don’t want to believe Tania is planning something bad for Abby or else,I’ll kill her with my bear hands
💕Madison💕
I felt a hand sneak round my w@!st and I smiled at that familiar fragrance
“You’re back?”I asked as I washed the dishes
“Yeah”he k!$$£d me on my shoulders and I smiled
“Dinner is re-ady,I’ve been waiting for you”I whined and he laughed turning me to face him
“Missed me much?”I asked squee-zing my as-s and I nodded
“Go eat,I’ll join you soon,Mitch has been waiting,he didn’t eat because you weren’t home,he wanted to eat with you”
“Oh really..Mitch..buddy I’m home”he yelled walking to the living room and I smiled,its almost as of we’re alre-ady married
I giggled at the thought and I continued my washing
“So what did you do when you were out today?”I asked drawing invisible lines on his che-st
“Nothing in p@rticular…I just had fun with Ken and other jobless guys”he said and I chuckled
“Jobless indeed”I said with a sigh and he smiled with his eyes closed
“Are you slee-ping alre-ady?”I asked and he nodded sleepily
“But I wanna talk”I whined
“About what?”he asked still with his eyes closed
“Hmm…oh..I’ve got one,I know this is kinda awkward but um…Romeo..
“Yeah”
“Don’t have have a…uh…dad?”I asked lowly and his eyes snapped open,his expression changed and he sighed before closing his eyes back
“I don’t wanna talk about it”
“Oh”
“I would talk about it but I don’t feel like talking about it now”
“I respect that”I said with a smile and my eyes darted to his che-st,my eyes caught something and I g@sped
“Romeo..is that..is that my name”I asked running my hands throu-gh the ink tatted on his left che-st
“What does it look like”
“What?”
I sat up and I leaned over to his che-st,I placed my hands on the left side of his che-st where the tattoo was and I smiled,it is clearly my name “Madison”,it looked so beautiful
“But…but why?”
He sighed lazily and he gro-an ed
“Because you’re my heart,I had your name tatted at the left side of my che-st because you know..that’s where my heart is and its beating,when you place your hands on it,you feel my heartbeat and that’s what it signifies,my heart belongs to you Madison,don’t break it”he said tiredly and I was alre-ady in tears,I whimpered and placed my hand on it,its truly beating…
“Are you crying?
“No…its just,you’re such a dork and it makes me emotional sometimes”I said and he laughed pu-lling me closer to lie on his che-st,he placed his hand on my back ru-bbing it soothingly
“Don’t be such a cry baby Madison”
“I love how that sounds”
“How what sounds”he asked
“Madison”
“Ooh”
“Yeah..I wish you could call my that as from today”
“Yeah yeah..I wanna sleep”he said and I laughed
“Good night my Romeo”I k!$$£d him and he smiled
“Thou shalt not make me blus-h”he said and i chuckled snuggling closer to him
“Good night baby”he pe-cked me on the forehead and we cu-mddled all night
