“Iris…” Valentina called, she was still too shocked to move…
“Tina” Iris cried and hvgged Valentina ti-ghtly, trembling and crying in her shoulders.
“Shh!!! It’s okay” Valentina ru-bbe-d her back with one hand and wiped off her own tears with the other.
“Thank goodness you c@m£. He… He…he was gonna r@pe me again” Iris cried.
“Again?” Valentina wondered and pu-ll-ed Iris away from her.
“What did you say?” Valentina asked.
Iris looked down still crying.
“I know that man, his name is Xander a clas-smate of mine. He once asked me out but I turned him down then he… he r@ped me.” Iris cried.
Valentina just stared at Iris, he didn’t know what to feel. Whether to feel anger, pity, compas-sion…
“He threatened me. That if i opened my mouth he was gonna do something bad to me if I said something. I was scared, I felt dirty, useless… I’m simply useless…” Iris said while panicking.
“Sh.. It’s okay, he’s never going to harm you ever again” Valentina hvgged her, hushing her…
“My head… What happened?” Xander gro-an ed, slowly sitting up.
Valentina snapped her head to him. She re-leased Iris and picked the wood up.
“Your bloody r@pist!!” Valentina growled and hit him on the back.
“I’m gonna make you regret putting your worthless di-ck in my sister” Valentina screamed, hitting him everywhere.
“Tina… plea-se,,,, st©p. You’ll kill him” Iris held Valentina back.
She gave him few hit before throwing yhe stick away. By that time, Xander was bleeding by the nose and mouth with a bu-mp formed on his head.
“Let’s go to the hospital” Valentina held iris’s hand and they left the scene.
Xander who was breathing lightly, manage to bring out his phone.
“Come and pick me…up by the hallway leading to iris’s house… Before i die” Xander said and pas-sed out.
“Hello, Xander! Hello?” The voice said frok the phone.

“Are you sure she’s fine?” Peggy said from the phone, wearing her shoes with one hand.
“I don’t know, she’s currently un-der checkup. I just hope the r@pe didn’t kead to pregnancy if not I’ll go back and finish off with that Xander guy” Valentina folded her fists..
“Calm down Tina, I’ll be there in five minutes” Peggy said and hung up.
“I lost my job, my sister is a victim of r@pe, what else?” Valentina exclaimed.
“Miss Williams?” The doctor called and she stood up.
“How’s my sister?” Valentina asked.
“Well she’ll be fine, luckily she isn’t pregnant. She just nee-d some time to recu-perate from the trauma it caused her” The doctor said.
“Thank God” Valentina breathed out in relief.
“Tina!” Peggy ran to Valentina.
“Mom, the doctor said she’ll be fine. She just nee-d to recu-perate” Valentina said.
“Oh my God, my poor baby. I feel so guilty, never had an idea this is what she was going throu-gh” Peggy said sadly.
“Don’t feel guilty mom, it’s not your fault” Valentina hvgged Peggy.
“Can we see her?” Valentina asked.
“Yeah, sure” The doctor smiled and went.
They entered the ward and met Iris slee-ping soundly on the be-d. Peggy sat down beside Iris and k!$$£d her forehead.
“Mummy” Iris muttered, slowly opening her eyes.
“Baby…” Peggy smiled.
“I’m sorry mom. plea-se don’t hate me” Iris held her hand and sat up on the be-d.
“No worries, I’m the one who is instead sorry” Peggy said and k!$$£d her hair.
“I alre-ady filed a complain on that guy. His name is Xander Tyson right?” Valentina asked and iris nodded.
She suddenly hvgged Peggy and began crying. The memories were still kicking really ha-rd into her, the pain she felt, the beatings he gave her…
“Is it a sin to be poor?” Iris cried.
Peggy simply ru-bbe-d her back while she cried her eyes out. Valentina sighed from where she is.
“How will I tell you guys that i lost my job” She thought.

THORNTON INVESTMENT**
Emilia was sitting on her desk staring intently at a package in her hand, contemplating on whether to give it or not..
With a determined look on her face, she stood up and walked in
“Come in”
She opened the door and slowly walked in.
“Anything wrong Emilia?” Ricardo asked.
She looked towards him and a g@sp escape herl-ips at his handsomeness. She doesn’t know why but it looks like he just gets more handsome as the day goes by…
“Emilia?” Ricardo called again.
Emilia was the only person in his company he was exercising patience with. Well p@rticularly because she’s worked for him for more than two years and is kinda like a friend to him.
Of course Ricardo isn’t oblivious of the fact that Emilia has developed feelings for him but well, it doesn’t bother him since almost all of his female workers do crush on him.
“Sir… I want to ask if you can grant me a temporary leave” Emilia asked.
“Why?” Ricardo frowned.
“My father is very sick and he’s the only family that I got. I was hoping that with the money I’ve saved up I can travel abroad to treat him. That’ll only take about a month.” Emilia said.
Ricardo looked at her for a brief while…
“Alright…” Ricardo said.
Emilia smiled wi-dely…
“But if you take your leave I’ll have to demote you. I’ll be nee-ding a Secretary for the time that you’re gone meaning I’ll hire someone to replace you. And once you come back, it will be quite difficult to settle things throu-gh between the new Secretary and you so I’ll have to put you in another post” Ricardo explained.
Emilia looked down sadly and began thinking for a while. If she leaves then she won’t be able to be close to Ricardo again but on the other hand, her father’s life was dangling.
“Guess i have no choice” Emilia thought sadly…
“Okay, i accept your proposal” She muttered.
“Alright” Ricardo said and brou-ght out a paper then began writing on it. Once he was throu-gh, he signed and handed it to Emilia.
“Here’s your leave” Ricardo gave her.
“Thanks” Emilia said and collected it.
She looked at the bag she was holding and swallowed ha-rd before stretching it to Ricardo.
“Here, a temporary goodbye gift” Emilia rushed her words…
Ricardo looked at her and then at her hand. He slowly collected it from her and placed it on the table.
“Thanks” He said.
“You’re welcome boss. Goodbye” She muttered and bowed then began walking to the exit.
She held unto the doorknob and looked back at Ricardo then sighed before leaving.
Ricardo looked at the package and then at the exit. Normally he doesn’t accept gift from anyone but he had to do for this one. Ricardo sighed and pinched his brows.
“A girl that purely loves you but you dumped her because you still love your ex wife who abandoned you” His subconscious mind said to him.

CARL CARES**
Xander was also admitted in the same hospital. A big collar was placed round his n£¢k, bruises on his face and his arm was bandaged.
“What happened to you? Who did this to you?” Xander’s mom kept ranting over and over.
“I alre-ady told you. It’s no big deal…” Xander rolled his eyes.
Suddenly a knock c@m£ up on their door. She went and opened it then one of their b©dyguards handes a letter to her.
She opened it and g@sped…
“Xander!! Tell me what have you done again!! Why are they filing a complain against you. You’re been accused of r@pe!!!” Xander’s mom g@sped.
Xander folded his fist. So Iris really went ahead and told on her. Using his free arm he picked up his phone and cli-cked on a video.
It was an edited video of Xander r@ping Iris. There, they made it look like Iris was enjoying herself…
“I told you, you’ll regret it right?” Xander smiled and published it on the school blog.
“I’m talking to you Xander!!!” His mom yelled. Xander rolled his eyes…
“Wait till your dad hears of it!!!”

CANADA**
In a room, a man was sitting with his legs crossed over the other. One would trip just by looking at his face. It’s normal since he’s so handsome…
“Boss… She was located” A man walked to him and handed a ph0to to him.
He looked at it and smiled then carre-ssed the cheek of the person in the ph0to.
“Emery” He smiled.

“Jace…” Ricardo called.
“Yes boss ” A guy walked in his office.
“I nee-d you to print out flyers and post it around. I nee-d a new secretary” Ricardo said. Jace nodded and left…
“Good afternoon ma’am” Jace greeted someone on his way out.
“Thanks” Kristina replied and walked in with a smile.
“Kris?” Ricardo called. She just left earlier this morning, what’s she doing back here.
“Big bro” Kristina sat down on a long couch in his office.
“I’m so tired” She gro-an ed and looked at Ricardo.
“Can you believe that I got a job today?” Kristina smiled.
“Really? Wow, I’m proud of you. It shows that the Thornton are no quitter.” Ricardo smiled…
“Of course! I got a job as model in your friend’s industry” Kristina said.
“Logan?.”
“Yeah, can you believe that he doesn’t recognize me any longer? Geez! He’s still that pla-yboy… He flir-ted with me!!” Kristina ranted.
Ricardo chuckled..
“Well aren’t you happy? I still remember when you ranted over and over about him not noticing you” Ricardo sm-irked.
“Hey! That was like six years ago. I was still young and immature back then.” Kristina said.
“Oh, so you mean you’re matured now?” Ricardo mocked.
“Cardo!!” Kristina snapped ma-king Ricardo to laugh…
Kristina stood up and fixed her go-wn then picked her handbag.
“I’ll leave now, here’s the address to my new ap@rtment” Kristina handed him a paper..
“So you don’t longer live with dad?!” Ricardo asked.
“Yeah! Dad is a real pain on the n£¢k… I want to be free, I’m an adult now” Kristina said and win-ked..
“Bye!!” Kristina waved and left his office.
All eyes turned to her as she walked out of the company. She’s completely unfazed with the look because she knows that she has a b©dy to die for.
That doesn’t st©p her from dressing at her taste. Kristina is someone who doesn’t care a damn about other people’s opinion maybe that’s why she’s been friends with Valentina for so long…
She pressed the bu-tton on her car keys once she got at the parking lot.
“h0ttie?.” A voice said.
She turned to see it was Logan coming out of his car.
“Boss” She said.
“Come on, you can call me my name when we are out of the company” Logan said.
Kristina shook her head in denial.
“No, I am that type of person who takes my job seriously. It will be unethical to call you by your name” Kristina sm-irked.
Logan sm-irked too. She’s trying to pl@ywith him, well let’s see how it’ll turn to be.
“If you excuse me, I gotta go” Kristina win-ked and entered her car then drove off…
She began laughing while driving off…
~Flashbacks~
“Tina are you sure he’ll accept it?” Kristina asked Valentina. They were both standing by Kristina’s locker.
“Just try, we won’t know unless you’ve tried” Valentina said.
Kristina nodded and stood up then left. She walked to the s£nior block and went to were Ricardo and his gang use to stay.
As as-sumed, she met Logan there looking h0t in his school uniform and younger than pres£nt d@t£.
“Um Logan” Kristina looked down.
Logan looked at Ricardo who shrugged. He looked back at Kristina.
“Can we talk?” She said.
“Okay” Logan said and stood up then walked to quiet corner with Kristina. If Kristina wasn’t Ricardo’s sister, he could have bullsh*tted her.
“Here” She stretched her hand to Logan with a blus-h on his face.
“Happy valentine’s day” She said and looked up.
Logan slowly collected it with a frown on his face.
“Um Logan, I… I… I like you” She stuttered shyly.
Logan sighed and pinched his brows, he saw it coming but tried to ignore it.
“Kristina, listen you’re really pretty but… You aren’t my type, I’m sorry” Logan said.
~Flashback ends~
“It’s funny how the table suddenly turned around” Kristina said while driving out of the company.
*******
“How’s ma bro doing?” Logan said, walking in Ricardo’s office….
“I’m so damn tired. My secretary just left ma-king loads more heavier for me. I just hope another comes tomorrow” Ricardo said.
“Sorry bro. By the way, who’s that h0t chick that just left this company. She gat killer curves” Logan li-cked hisl-ips.
Ricardo crea-sed his brows.
“You mean my sister?” Ricardo asked…
Logan hit his head ha-rd .
“Now I know why that Kristina Thornton sounds so familiar… So you mean it’s little Kristina?” Logan asked and Ricardo nodded…
He still can remember how he rejected her. Well back then she was flat and so not his type but now…
“Nature has a funny way of ma-king things” Logan muttered.
“Also Logan I don’t know if you know that but I don’t joke with two things… My kids and my sister, I don’t care what you have with her after all she’s a grown up and it comes a time she’ll feel urges to have se-x but don’t make her fall for you and then break her heart again” Ricardo said seriously…
Logan slowly nodded…

THE WILLIAMS**
“Finally, we’re back home” Valentina smiled as they entered with iris. She was discharged today since nothing was wrong with her…
“I’m hungry” Iris muttered, she has been quiet althrou-gh.
“I’ll make spicy spaghetti, just wait up” Peggy said and went to the kitchen…
Valentina ru-bbe-d iris’s shoulder and smiled.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine” Valentina smiled and sighed.
“I couldn’t help but notice… You’ve been so silent althrou-gh, what’s wrong?” Iris asked.
“Nothing just that…” Valentina paused and made sure that Peggy wasn’t eavesdropping.
“I lost my job” Valentina said sadly…
“What?!” Iris exclaimed but Valentina blocked her mouth..
“Keep quiet, I don’t want mom to worry” Valentina whispered.
“That’s bad… What of your p@rt time job as a nanny?” Iris asked.
“Well, you know it’s not everyday someone nee-ds a nanny. I don’t think I’ll be able to feed on the money talkless of you guys” Valentina sighed and sat down on the couch.
“I just don’t know what to do” Valentina added…
“Don’t worry. Tomorrow after school, I’ll look for a p@rt time job too” Iris said.
“No, I don’t want it to disturb your studies” Valentina said.
“No, don’t worry. I’m a br@iny” Iris smiled for the first time in weeks.
“I love it when you smile” Valentina smiled.
“Fight!!” Iris said.
“Fight!!!” Valentina smiled.
Peggy who was eavesdropping on them sighed sadly and went in the kitchen.
“I feel useless…” Peggy thought. Well Peggy is a patient, diagnosed with heart problems.

SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL**
“Myles, the driver is waiting for us. Hurry, I’m hungry!!” Minnie said.
“I’m coming, st©p acting like my mom” Myles frowned, packing his bagpack. When he was done, he wore it and headed outside.
Both of them walked out of the clas-s. Myles kept looking at a blonde girl who was been carried by her mother.
“St©p starring at Leslie, you’ll see her tomorrow” Minnie said.
“I wasn’t starring” Myles frowned and blu-shed.
Two little kids c@m£ and blocked their way. One was chubby while the other wasn’t, little bit taller than Myles.
“Look, the motherless twins” The chubby one said.
“Shut up! Elephant” Myles frowned. Minnie held his hand and gave him a ‘calm down’ look.
“At least we’re not motherless. You don’t even know who your mom is… It’s too bad, my mom always takes me to the amusement park every weekend but what of you.” The slim one laughed.
Myles began breathing really fast, fighting back his tears. He gets angry really fast, just like Ricardo.
“Dad said my mom will come back, she went to a vacation” Myles said.
The boys laughed.
“My mom told me that your mother abandoned you. She doesn’t care I you’re alive or dead. She hates you!”
“Shut up!!” Myles cried and threw his backpack down then pounced on the chubby guy.
“Myles…! Myles!!” Minnie called trying to separate but was not possible.
She sp©tted their driver out and rushed to call for him…

NIGHT, RICARDO’S MANSION**
Ricardo got down his car and walked in the house.
“Welcome back Sir.” The maids greeted. He handed his suitcase to one of them and re-moved his coat then handed it to her too before heading to the living room.
He met Minnie watching her favorite cartoon which is non other than Mr Bean.
“Daddy!!” Minnie exclaimed and jumped on him.
“How’s my princess doing?” Ricardo asked.
“I’m good” Minnie smiled.
“Where’s Myles? I know how he loves Mr Bean, why isn’t he watching it with you?” Ricardo asked.
“Well…he hasn’t come out his room since we got back” Minnie pouted.
“Hum…let me see” Ricardo dropped her down and went to Myles’s room.
“Myles” Ricardo knocked and opened the door. He met Myles sitting on the floor, pla-ying with his toys while sulking.
Ricardo walked to him and sat down beside him.
“Myles?” Ricardo called again.
“Is it true that mom abandoned us? Is it true that she’s never coming back?” Myles asked.
“Who told you that?” Ricardo asked, surprised.
“Some kids in my clas-s” Myles pouted.
“Is it true?”
Ricardo looked away, unable to answer him.
“I knew it” Myles looked down and teared up. Ricardo pu-ll-ed him closer and hvgged him.
“Don’t cry. You have me” Ricardo muttered.
“I know, but that won’t be the same if mom was here” Myles cried.
Ricardo sighed and stro-ke his back with a distant look on his face..

MORNING**
“Are you sure you’re re-ady for school. You can rest for a week” Valentina said. She accompanied Iris to school then after that, she’ll go look for a job.
“Hmm… I’ll be fine, don’t worry” Iris smiled. Valentina hvgged her and waved.
Iris wave back and went in the gate. Immediately she stepped in, junk food, drinks were thrown at her…
“Go away!!”
“sl-ut!! Whôre!!”
“Not only you’re poor but you’re a cheap sl-ut”
“We don’t bit-ches in our school”
Iris looked around in pure confusion. What was happening.
T.B.C
Poor Myles… Poor Iris….
