{A FIGHT FOR ALL}
“Yes!”
“That pose! Exactly!”
“That’s what I’m talking about!”
“Cool!”
“Awesome!”
The clicking sounds of camera filled the room as Valerie struck different pose for the photographer earning an unending appraisal from him.
She was putting on a wine red gown which hung perfectly on her body. It had a V neck which exposed her cleavages.
It was a long flowing gown but it had a parting from her thigh down.
Valerie placed a hand on her chest and the other hung high above her head, looking up. She brought her slender leg forward, through the parting on the gown.
“Spectacular! Great pose!” The photographer commented with that being her last pose.
She stood up and walked to her manager who was watching her all this while.
“That was amazing, as always.” He complimented and Valerie only nodded, grabbing the bottle water on the table.
She uncapped it and gulped it down.
“Any other schedule for today?” She asked him immediately she brought down the bottle.
“No, you’re free for the rest of today.” He said and she nodded.
A while later, Valerie had changed out of the costume and she was currently walking out of the agency when she bumped into someone at the door.
“Valerie!”
“Alecia??”
✧✧✧✧✧
Rita Sanchéz, Jeffrey’s mother lived alone in a small cottage in the outskirt of Sydney, Australia.
It appeared like she was hiding from the world or something as the place was solitary.
No houses around it.
Jeffery’s car drove into the premises and pulled to a halt in front of the cottage. He quickly got out of the car and rushed into the house.
His gaze landed on that of his mom’s angry glare.
“Mom are you alright??” He asked worriedly, rushing to her but she stopped him with a hand before he could get to her.
“What are you doing here Jeffrey??” She asked and Jeffrey sighed.
“Mom…”
“I warned you against having anything to do with that family Jeffrey! Those people ruined our lives yet you ignored my warnings and jumped into their embrace because of money. Now the stupid lady you married as a wife, can now come into my house any moment she likes and harass me! I didn’t raise you this way Jeffrey! Why??” She yelled at him and he fell on his knees.
“I’m sorry mom. I should have listened to you. I was just greedy. I couldn’t wait to taste wealth so I ignored your warnings, I’m sorry mom. Please forgive me.” He cried.
✧✧✧✧✧
“So what do you wanna discuss with me?” Valerie asked and Alecia sighed, dropping her spoon, then she looked up at Valerie who was eating.
“Valerie, I’m married.” She said softly.
“I have a three year old son.” Valerie said.
“C’mon V, I’m serious.” Alecia said.
“I thought we were doing lying competition. You’re married, when? How? Where??” Valerie asked, looking up at her.
“It’s a long story.” She said.
“Then make it short.” Valerie told her and she nodded before started narrating everything to her.
“… So, that’s how it happened. I’m married, for three months.” She concluded and Valerie just stared at her without blinking an eye.
“Say something V.” Alecia urged.
“Honestly, I’m speechless.” Valerie muttered.
“Why didn’t you tell me you needed financial assistance? Why did you have to go this far??” Valerie queried.
“It was urgent V so I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry for not letting you know. I also didn’t wanna bulge you with my own problems. I’m sorry.” Alecia apologized and Valerie only sighed.
“It’s alright… You’re sure you can handle this?” Valerie asked and she nodded.
“I’ve got this, you don’t have to worry. Trust me.” Alecia winked and Valerie chuckled.
“You have a three year old son?? The way you came up with such lie for me.” Alecia laughed and Valerie sighed.
Alecia doesn’t know Valerie has a child. She got to know Valerie two years ago when Valerie was just starting up as a model. Alecia was her first ever fan and they got to become friends when their paths seemed to keep crossing each other’s.

A knock came in and Evie sighed before replying.
“Come in.” The door opened and Valerie walked in.
“What’s up babe?” Evie inquired with a smile.
“Everything good.” Valerie replied and she smiled.
A silence ensued.
“Ermm… Actually Lerie. I’m sorry about what you had to see last night. Please forget it ever happened.” Evie said and Valerie chuckled.
“It’s okay. Fighting is usual Anong couples, the ability to settle their disputes make them stand out. I already forgot about it, hope you two settled your problem?” She asked and Evie feigned a chuckle.
“Sure. We did.” She lied and Valerie smirked.
“So what are you doing today??”
✧✧✧✧✧
Jeffrey arrived home very tired, it was already late in the night. He went up to Leo’s room first, to see him before going to his room.
The moment he opened his room door, he saw Evie sitting on his bed. He creased his brows and she smiled at him.
“What are you doing here?” He asked calmly and Evie smiled widely, standing up.
That was when he noticed what she was wearing. A blue lingerie with a blue transparent jacket covering it.
Jeffrey’s perplexity grew more as he stared at her. She catwalked to him, biting her lower lips seductively.
Wait… Was she tryna seduce him??
“Jeff…” She called softly, making a puppy face, Jeffrey raised a brow.
She chuckled and took his briefcase from him, then she went to keep it and came back for him.
Her hands went to his tie, loosening it. Jeffrey took her hands off him immediately.
“Why the sudden change in attitude? What do you want Evie??” He asked straight forwardly and Evie made that puppy face again.
“I… I- I’m sorry Jeff. I’m sorry for my recent harsh attitude towards you. I don’t mean to be harsh to you, I love you but this days you seem to be drifting apart from me… Ever since the incident three years ago! And I keep asking you if you fell for her but you kept on denying it! If you don’t love her Jeff, why did you change?! Why did you suddenly become lonely? Where is the Jeffrey I fell in love with? Where??!!!” She shouted and Jeffrey sighed.
“I know it was all my fault! I lost my womb due to my recklessness! Had this not happened, I wouldn’t have come up with plan of you marrying someone else, just to get her child! But it was a simple task Jeffrey, make her fall in love with you, marry her, get her pregnant and take the child from her. Very simple! Why did you fail Jeffrey?! Why did you end up falling in love with her, huh?!” She screamed and Jeffrey pushed her aside and made to walk into the bathroom but she grabbed his hand.
“You don’t walk away when I’m talking to you got it! You are who you are today because of me and I can decide to take everything back from you and you’ll return to nothing! I can also taint your reputation if I want so don’t you ever dare walk out on me!… Jeffrey I love you so much, don’t get the wrong impression, buy I really do love you, that’s why I married you despite our age difference. Please, let’s go back to the old times, please.” She begged and Jeffrey held her hand on his and tried to remove it.
“Let go.”
“Please Jeffrey. Let’s return back to when you used to love me. When I was all that mattered to you. I miss you, I miss your touch… I miss everything about you Jeffrey, please come back to me, please…”
“Evie-” She cut him off with a hungry kiss, pushing him towards the bed.
“What’s this madness Evie?!”
“Shush… Quiet, and let’s have fun.” She said, climbing on him and began unbuckling his trousers.
“Evie stop!” He warned but she claimed his lips again, her hand rubbing his d**k.
✧✧✧✧✧
Fawn walked into the house very tired and as he made his way towards his room, his mom’s voice came after him.
“Fawn! You have a package for you, it’s under the center table!” She yelled from the kitchen and he furrowed his brows.
‘Package??’
He walked to the center table and picked the box under it. He opened it and his eyes widened when he saw a laptop and a letter attached to it.
He picked the letter and opened it, and it read:
*HEY HUBBY, BY THE TIME YOU’RE READING THIS, YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE NEWS. I’M SORRY FOR SNEAK PEAKING INTO YOUR DIARY BUT I THINK IT WAS FOR OUR GOOD. I GOT TO KNOW ABOUT MC BEING YOUR DREAM COLLEGE AND I ALSO SCHOOL THERE. I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME JOIN ME HERE, QUICKLY ACCEPT YOUR ADMISSION. DON’T WORRY, YOU DON’T NEED TO THANK ME, YOUR LOVE IS ENOUGH FOR ME. LOL. BYE. JUNE LOVES YOU.
“TH!! What admission?? Who is June??” He asked no one particular.
“June?? Isn’t she your female friend who came here the other day? His mom chipped in and his eyes widened.
The psycho?? He thought as much! What admission was she talking about?? He thought and hurriedly brought out his phone from his picture and made to switch on only to find it dead.
“Sh*t!” He groaned and rushed into his room with the package.
“What’s that?? Fawn!” His mom shouted as he left.
A while later, he had found a way to charge his phone and he switched it on.
He immediately started searching through his email and his eyes widened when he saw it.
Admission… Admission from Meadow College! His dream school. Without any exam… How?? They don’t even offer admission… And-
He could feel tears slowly welling up in his eyes as he stared at his phone in disbelief, and a loud scream of excitement left his mouth.
“Ahhhhh!!!!! Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!”
✧✧✧✧✧
Alecia came out of bathroom in her nighties only to meet Leroy already laying on the bed.
“Wait- what are you doing?” She asked, walking closer.
“You ain’t blind, you should see I’m trying to sleep.” Leroy said rudely.
“Of course I’m not blond that’s why I refuse to believe what I’m seeing. Why are you sleeping here?? With whose permission??” She asked and Leroy furrowed his brows.
“Seriously?? I don’t get. This is my room!” He told her.
“So?? And so f**king what?!” She asked and Leroy stared at her with widened eyes.
“Mr Leroy Hewitt, point of correction. It was your room, past tense. Now there’s change in ownership. Now mister, kindly pick your things and leave.” She said and Leroy blinked at her.
“Please leave, I wanna sleep.” She said.
“You should leave instead. Stop disturbing me, I’m trying to catch a sleep here.” He said drawing the quilt on himself and Alecia raised a brow.
She drew down the quilt but he drew it up again and she arched her brows, thinking of what to do and then she came up with an idea.
She feigned a yawn, falling on him, snoring. Her hair sprawled on his face.
Leroy’s eyes widened that moment, he could feel her hard nipple pressing on his chest.
“What was she doing??” He thought inwardly and tried to push her off but she wouldn’t bulge.
“Get off me.” He whispered into her ear and instead of her standing up, she turned around on him, her butt rubbing his d**k as she tried to adjust well on him.
‘TF was she doing!!!’ Leroy screamed inwardly and quickly pushed her to the other side of the bed. He rolled down the bed, falling to the ground.
Alecia feigned a yawn and sat up like she was just waking up.
“What happened?? Why are you on the floor?” She asked slowly and Leroy looked at her surprisedly.
He quickly stood up from the ground and took the duvet and a pillow then he walked to the balcony to lay.
“What happened?? Where are you going? Leroy!” She called as he left and she began giggling when he was finally gone.
“My! You’re such a good actress Alecia, I wonder why no one sees that. You just drove him from his very own room. Suits him right. I’ll keep pestering your life Leroy Hewitt, till you give me my money.” She smirked wickedly.
“Now, let’s sleep.” She said and laid on the bed. She stood up shortly to go get another duvet which used to sleep.
Just when the sleep was about getting her, she began hearing low grumblings.
She stood up and hurriedly rushed to the transparent door leading to the balcony outside the room and she met him slapping his skin.
“Damn! There are so much mosquito out here. I don’t think I can cope.” He murmured slapping his ear.
“Ouch! No please!” He covered himself covered himself completely with the duvet but it wasn’t helping matters.
“Oh my gawd! Not today please!” He cried out, as he kept slapping his body.
He sat up, rolling the duvet off his body and started using it to chase away mosquito.
Alecia was trying so much to suppress her laughter as she watched him from the window but she finally let it out when she couldn’t hold it anymore.
The way he was acting was so funny, like he was fighting with a ghost.
Leroy glared at her and that only made her increase her laughter. She stuck her tongue out at him and rushed back to her bed.
Leroy stood up and rushed to the door, he made to open the door only to realize she had locked it from inside.
“Open the darn door you wítch!” He shouted, banging the door.
“Have a goodnight sleep with the mosquitoes!” She grinned widely.
“Darn you! Open this door! Wítch!!!”

“So you mean if Evie is controlling Theo, everything he is doing isn’t what he wished for??” Valerie asked Derek who nodded.
“That’s the probability Val. You also told me Theo tried saving yiu that very day but Evie pushed you down. It only means Theo still loves you but there’s just something that’s stopping it from following his heart.” Derek said and Valerie chuckled.
“No dad. You’re wrong. That’s not true. Theo doesn’t love me, his selfish! He only loves himself.” She said, as tears was slowly building up in her eyes.
“Do not let your hate blind you from seeing the truth.” Derek told her.
“There’s no hàte! It’s the truth! Why then did he deny knowing me in court! Why did he lie not to have married me?? Even the hospital which I gave birth to Alex doesn’t recognized me coz he changed my name. He registered Evie as the child bearer! He denied knowing me! He took my baby from me! He hurt me so much… And you’re telling me he loves me??! Huh!” She shouted in tears.
“That’s the puzzle in this while story Madi, that’s why I want you to go to that house. You’ll be able to answer all this perplex questions once you’re there. Ion know anything about this Theo guy, but I feel he has his reason for whatever he did in the past. He may also be suffering for it.” He told her and she just cried silently.
“Go to them Valerie. Both your husband and son needs you. Save them from the clutch of the Zhang’s, please.”
