“Collins please open the door” Aerial pleaded but Collins huffed. “You and your daughter can take a cab home” he said as he drove out.
“Collins” Aerial yelled following the car but when she looked around and saw that people were already staring at her in the airport, she stopped.
“Mummy what do we do?” This is all Gold’s fault, she thinks she can be happy, no way. I’m going to make her suffer” Queen said bitterly
GOLD POV
Gold smiled as we looked around the mansion together. It was a beautiful white mansion with a beautiful scenery. It had some beautiful trees and also a very big pool.
“Wow Gold, I envy you. Your boyfriend is really rich what’s that called again?”
“A billionaire” Gold answered smiling.
“Does he have a brother or something?” Esther asked anxiously.
“Yeah, he does have a cute one at that” Ella giggled but Gold looked at her suspiciously.
“Wow he does?” Esther asked for a reconfirmation and Ella noded.
“Ella, don’t tell me you like Ethan?” Gold asked suspiciously
“Chill Gold I don’t”
“It’s really not a problem if you do, but it will only be a big problem when you hide it from me” Gold gave her a playful blow on the shoulders and she giggled.
“Now I’m jealous. You seem to like Ella very much now and you forgot about me” Esther said sadly.
“Come on Estee, you are still my bestie. It’s just that Ella has been with me in one of the darkest moments of my life.
We’ve been through a lot together” Gold said getting emotional.
“That’s why I feel even more jealous because when you needed me Gold, I wasn’t there for you. The problem with Kennedy your step father, you refused to share it with me then why are we besties if we hide things from each other” Esther said a bit hurt.
“I’m sorry best but trust me, I wanted to tell you but I was scared. He threatened to kill me if I told anyone. Do you think I like keeping things from you? I don’t” Gold pleaded.
“I’m sorry Gold, I didn’t know” Esther also apologized to Gold for misunderstanding her
“It’s fine best but I want you to know that you and Ella are two important people in my life so never forget that” Gold said and they both smiled and pulled her into a group hug..
“I missed you so much buddy” Esther said
“I miss you too” Gold replied but they were interrupted by a voice,
“Ladies breakfast is ready” Then they all turned to look at the male chef, he was a plus size middle aged man with a little potbelly.
“Is Fredrick at the table?” Gold asked him and he nodded
“Young master is already seated at the table and he asked me to get you and your friends” The Chef replied then they followed him.
“Esther were you still able to go to the University?” Ella asked on the dinning.
“No” Esther replied sadly.
“But why?”
“They didn’t take me because my result wasn’t as high as expected and my Jamb score too, you know I’m an average student” Esther said pouting but Ella shut her up
“That’s because you put boys before books” Ella complained
“I can’t believe you are seriously scolding me right now” Esther said frowning.
“But it’s true”
“Esther what was your Jamb score?” Ella asked her twin sister
“Do you seriously need to ask? Esther retorted feeling a bit angry
“Well I do”
“Well if you care to know, my Jamb score was 180” Esther mumbled.
“It really is an average score” Ella said looking at the unbothered Esther who seemed very happy
“Which University?” Frederick suddenly asked
“University of Agriculture” Esther answered and Fredrick noded
“That won’t be a problem. I know the chancellor” Fredrick said politely like the gentleman he is
“What? Seriously?” Esther asked giggling
“You would get your admission letter in less than five days” Fredrick assured them and Esther’s happiness knew no bound.
“I feel like fainting” Esther screamed happily
“If you faint, you wake up” Gold said and they all started laughing then Frederick squeezed Gold’s hands softly and she bite her lips staring at him.
“Bestie you are so mean.
Thank you so much Sir Fredrick” Esther said as she giggled.
“It’s nothing actually” Fredrick responded but Esther interrupted
“It’s something to me Sir and Gold hold on tight to this guy, he’s jackpot”
“You seriously don’t need to tell me that, of course I know” Gold said laughing.
“And I’m guessing he’s the reason why Aerial and her daughter Queen showed up at the airport. The sight of those two make me want to puke” Esther said disgustingly and Gold concurred
“Me too”
“You guys seem to hate them alot. What was their offense?” Ella asked.
“Everything” Esther and Gold replied.
“Wow, chill with the hate guys” Ella said.
“Tell me what did they do to you?” Frederick asked Gold as he seem interested in the conversation since it involves his love.
“Well Queen and I once attended the same secondary school and she was always so mean to me and would do a lot of things to humiliate me all because she was dating the hottest guy in school as at then.
The idiot onced asked me out but i refused. I was always this book before boys type. Some days after asking me out we heard that he had started dating Queen.
Infact all the guys she’s ever dated all asked me out” Gold said fearlessly.
“Seriously?” Frederick asked
“Of course, I mean who wouldn’t want Gold. My bestie is pretty with a lush body and an innocent face” Esther said and Gold blushed.
“Come on Esther, don’t flatter me” Gold said smiling seriously
“Actually what she said is true, you really are beautiful” Fredrick said and she blushed even more.
“Thanks and Gold back to the story?” Esther said biting her lips softly.
“Yeah continue” Fredrick encouraged.
“Each time she bullied me, Esther will be so mad at me you’d her stuffs like
“Gold, how can you let her do this to you and couldn’t even fight back? But little did Queen know that all she was doing to me, I’ve counted them against her and when the time came, I gave her the biggest humiliation of her life and for that sole reason, she left the school”
“Gold what did you do?” Ella chuckled.
“You seriously don’t want to know” Gold said but they kept forcing her to talk
“I uploaded a sex video of herself and the dude on the school’s website” Gold said and they chuckled at what she said.
“What the hell?”
“Seriously?”
“That’s not the full gist Gold say it already” Esther said laughing
“Tell me what else did you do?” Frederick asked Gold smiling
“I… I added a text to the video”
“What was the text?”
“Damn sis you fuck pretty hard!”
“Oh my God”
“No wonder she left”
“She deserved it anyways. After that, she tried to mess me up again but ended up in a coma for three days”
“Seriously? you must have really beaten her hard” Fredrick chuckled.
“Of course, I really gave her the beaten she deserved, and after everything her mother came to our house and started ranting like a mad woman that she was. And at the end, we were the one’s who called for an ambulance” Gold said and they all burst out laughing.
“My mom was so angry after what she did, she had the guts to come to our house. It was like signing her own death warrant. Mom used that opportunity to vent out her anger on her and I joined in beating her too… she destroyed our family, she deserved worse than death” Gold said as she clenched hard on her chopstick that it broke. but Fredrick noticed that she was angry.
“Baby it’s fine, I’m here now” Fredrick said as Gold sniffled and rested her head on his shoulders.
“I know but thinking about it, makes me angry” Gold said not until Esther called her to come finish her food.
“Gold the food is getting cold and you seriously don’t want such good food to go to waste” Esther pouted and Gold smiled.
“Miss Gold someone is here to see you” Chike said bowing his head slightly. Frederick brought along about four of his bodyguards as he says it’s for protection.
“Who is that person?” Gold asked
“Caleb”
“Caleb ? Come on, let him in” Gold instructed
“What is that jackass doing here?” Esther said face palming herself.
“Don’t tell me you hate Caleb?” Gold asked Esther
“Of course, he’s a big time tease and I can’t stand him” Esther replied
“Why do I have the feeling that you like him sis?” Ella said grinning.
“What? Hell no” Esther quickly responded and Gold chuckled.
“She really does like him”
“I don’t” she muttered.
“Looks like I’m on time for something” Caleb said as he giggled
“Caleb” Gold smiled and hugged him.
“Gold, I’ve missed you” Caleb said.
“Ough Ough” Fredrick pretended to cough and he quickly pulled out of the hug not believing that he would be this jealous for a simple hug.
“Uhmm, you must be Fredrick. I’m Caleb” he smiled stretching his hands out for a handshake which Fredrick received.
“I know you” Fredrick said
“About Claire. I’m sorry…”
“It’s fine, I didn’t come after you because she forgave you” Fredrick said to him
“Thanks” Caleb said.
“Seriously? Esther no one told me you had a twin” Caleb said sitting beside her.
“How did you know it was me?” Ella’
“She’s prettier than you” Caleb winked.
“Fuck you!” Esther huffed.
“Thanks for this” Caleb said and took her food eating from it but Esther looked like she would cry any minute.
“You are so mean. Gold please tell Caleb to give me back my food” Esther complained.
“Caleb you really haven’t changed, you are still a foodie”
“Gold!” Esther yelled her name.
“Bestie please don’t cry” Gold encouraged Esther
“You are so mean” Esther said and they all laughed at her facial expression.
“Pipi” Fredrick called the head chef
“Yes master” he answered running out of the kitchen.
“Give Esther another plate of food”
Esther giggled and stuck her tongue out to Caleb but he smiled and looked away.
Pipi soon brought another plate of food but Before Esther could take a bite from the food, Caleb snatched the food from her.
“Caleb stop this” she yelled angrily.
“You are beautiful when annoyed” Caleb said to Esther.
“Wow sis, he’s indirectly telling you he likes you” Ella winked at her sister Esther.
“You both will make a wonderful couple” Gold giggled.
“You wish” Esthe huffed and took her plate of food back.
“Can we talk?” Caleb said referring to Esther
“No” Esther said but Caleb held her ankle and dragged her out.
“I’m seriously starting to think something is happening between these two. Frederick what do you think?” Gold asked
“Why are you asking me?” Frederick asked with a smile,
“Because you are the genius here so you should know what’s going on between those two” Gold said
“But I’m not God” Fredrick said rolling his eyes.
“But if you ask me, I think they have both been intimate” Fredrick said and Gold gasped as he said that.
“Like had sex”
“Yeah and it’s obvious she likes him but Esther doesn’t look like someone who wants to be in a relationship”
“That’s right, Esther hates commitment and likes frolicking with guys alot”
ESTHER POV
“Why did you bring me here Caleb?” Esther asked harshly
“Seriously? What’s your problem?” Caleb asked her because he seem not to know what was done wrong.
“My problem is you. what happened between us was a mistake so stop bugging me” Esther warned Caleb
“That didn’t feel like a mistake to me. Esther, I love you” Caleb professed.
“Well I don’t love you and please forget about me because I don’t want to be in a relationship with you” Esther said again.
“Why do you hate me so much?” Caleb asked hoping to get at least an answer but Esther huffed
“You seriously don’t know? You rapped Gold remember and who knows if you haven’t raped other girls?”
“I apologised and she forgave me already so I’m not a rapist”
“Well I didn’t forgive you and honestly, I can’t have a rapist as a boyfriend” Esther yelled but her words got to Caleb.
“You made your point already Esther and I’m sorry for disturbing you” Caleb said as he looked pretty hurt by what Esther just said to him.
“Caleb… I…” Esther wanted to apologize because she blew everything out of proportion but Caleb stopped her.
“You are right you know and I don’t deserve you” Caleb said slowly and walked away.
“Caleb” Esther called but he ignored her. By then her eyes were already teary.
“I shouldn’t have said that” Esther said remorsefully as she felt hurt knowing she also hurt him.
“Esther you suck at love” She muttered to herself and began to cry.
GOLD POV
“Esther where is Caleb?” Gold asked as she walked outside but she saw her sobbing and she looked pretty sad then she wondered what could have transpired between them but Esther suddenly interrupted her thought
“He left” Esther said to Gold
“But why, or did you do anything to him?” Gold asked.
“Gold its nothing” Esther lied but Gold knows Esther too well and she knows that she just lied to her.
“You are lying” Gold said to Esther who began to cry
“I messed up Gold, it was really stupid of me”
“Then what is it Best, what did you do?” Gold asked becoming impatient already with her suspenseful mood.
“I called him a rapist” Esther finally said and Gold opened her mouth in surprise
“You did what? Gold asked ?
“Why would you do that Esther?” Gold scolded
“I know. I screwed up”
“You really screwed up.
What happened between you two?”
“It all started when you left, then i met Caleb at the club, he looked really sad and the worse part was that he was drunk. He kept saying he hurt someone, now she’s gone and he couldn’t do anything about it”
“I tried to comfort him and I offered to take him home. He didn’t quit going to the club and we would always meet there, he told me a lot about himself and I started to find him interesting.
The day I found out I didn’t get admission into the university, I just wanted to drink my sorrow away and I urged him to drink with me.
We both got drunk and ended up having sex. The next morning, he confessed his feelings for me and he also told me about what they did to you. I didn’t let him explain then I just left his place in annoyance.
