"uhm....uhmm....why.....why would you do it?", Mr Williams in embarrassment as he hurriedly walked out the room as if his pants were on fire.
Ann catwalked to shut her door ....
"Hello babe... Did you really do what Ann said you did", Stephen asked through the phone and Veda gasped since she forgot to disconnect the call, "No stupid, let's talk later", Veda said flustered before disconnecting the call.
When she saw Ann walking towards her, her faced puffed up in anger, "Why would you do that?, now your parents will think that I am a loose immoral woman", Veda asked in anger.
"Well... Firstly, never take my parents into consideration. Secondly, I was just paying for all the times you left me at your unfinished dates or set me up with weirdo's but come to think of it, why was my dad embarrassed like he hasn't seen a woman before?", Ann asked, laughed coyly and shrugged.
"Okay", Veda sighed in defeat.
"Oh no.... Calli!!", Ann screamed as she ran and jumped out of the window.
"Noo!!!", Veda screamed after friends earlier stunt. "I'm done for.... What if I am accused of pushing and killing Ann and Calli....oh no....I should just jump too", Veda muttered after much thinking jumped too with closed eyes hoping for the best.
Ann landed perfectly on the floor without any scratch, as part of her training, she once jumped off rooftop.
She rushed towards Calli who had escaped security and manged to enter to enter the garage lined up with various types of luxurious cars.
He was without any scratch and she wondered how, "are you not hurt?", Ann asked in amazement.
"Should I be ?", Cali said throwing her an accusing cold glare which caused her to shudder.
She had never seen him that angry, "I could have died Ann but why do you care ...huh... You only care about yourself ever since I met you ...I have always been in pain and I'm now trying hard to prove my innocence, something that I Cali Ambrosio never thought I could do..... I humbled myself before you but you always took me for granted", he said before walking off.
"DO NOT TAKE ANOTHER STEP CALLI AMBROSIO....IF YOU DO....DO NOT COME BACK", Ann screamed after him as she shook tremendously in rage.
"You need to ask yourself a question... Do I have a heart?", Cali said before jumping off the fence.
Ann walked into the building pondering on what he said.
"Ahhhh....", Veda screamed and was expecting to fall hard on the floor but was caught instead by a pair of large warm hands. She stayed still for some minutes, expecting the pain, then opened her eyes to know whether she was dreaming but was locked by the cold black irises that pierced deep into her soul.... Lance saved her.
He put her down, tucking his hands in his pant pocket, "what are you doing here?", he asked coldly as if he was void of any emotions, he was not the cheerful lance she knew.
"I'm supposed to ask you that and why are you and those black clothed men shooting me those cold glares?", she asked as she noticed the dangerous aura of the black suite clothed men and shades over their eyes like men brought out of "THE MATRIX FILM ".
Lance's secretary rolled his eyes , "this woman is so dumb!", he thought to himself.
"You're in no position to ask me anything!", he replied but Veda would not give in as she clung unto his coat but one of the heavily built men tore her grip off him and pushed her to the floor. She hit her head on the floor and she fainted because of the impact.
Lance glanced at him Cee-jay and punching him while giving him a head butt that made him woozy.He scooped her in his arms and drove leaving his other guards stranded.
He was actually on his way to sign a contract and send congratulatory messages about Ann's engagement to Mr Toni Williams not until he saw his cute Veda whose heart belongs to Stephen.
When he thought about it, his knuckles whitened, "The way she held my hands were so cute", he thought as he smiled softly tucking her baby hairs away, she looked so innocent and untainted.
He did not want to do this but now he would steal Veda away from Stephen, she deserved better and not someone who can't save or protect her but, why did he see her jumping out of Ann's window?
Why was she there in the first place?
Is she related to Ann in anyway?
He decided to do a background check on her. For the first time Lance felt insecure, if Veda was related to Ann there will be a lower chance of having or winning her heart because of dark and brutal activities which Ann knows about.
Meanwhile Mr and Mrs Williams were in their own secret private world, their bedroom and they fed each other.
Ann couldn't believe what she was seeing, she rubbed her eyes as he stood by the door. She thought her father was heartless, she never saw this part of him or did she even try to see?.
Come to think of it, she has never been to her parents room or had a normal conversation with them, no wonder her relationship was like a worn-out wine skin bag.
Was she indeed selfish and heartless like he said?
She thought deeply until she unconsciously tipped over the flower vase attracting stares from the two lovers.
"Hahahahaha..... Guess who did that!", Ann said scratching her hair and smiling awkwardly.
She was caught peeking as she stared at her dad who was blushing and her mom who looked like a child who was caught stealing some milk.
"Can I come in?", Ann asked as she came in before they could even give her permission.
Her mother was teary eyed, "you came in, honey, she came in on her own!!", her mother said jumping like a little kid while her father just smiled and nodded.
She has never seen that side of her parents. She always thought they were cold and aloof and we're merely leaving with each other, she never expected them to be lovey-dovey.
"I came here to see you father", Ann said as her cold demeanor returned.
"What do you want?",her father asked.
"Firstly father, why don't you love me?", Ann asked as her father looked away guilty, her mother, Stella Williams smiled and spoke up, "your father loves you but he is just jealous", Stella flinched as Toni grip on her hands tightened and Ann noticed it.
"Why is he jealous?", she asked again.
