“I’m not sure where to start, ’cause sure as hell you have a lot of explaining to do. You have no idea how worried I have been. You disappeared from work, came to L. A., and didn’t think to inform me,” Mandy pacing around the room made Maliah laugh. She looked at her and dried the tear that fell off her eyes, before pulling her in a tight he, calming her nerves down.
“You have a boyfriend and I don’t know about it, such betrayal,” Mandy scoffed, settling on the bed with Maliah
“I wish it was that simple. My coming here wasn’t planned at all, I promise you that. Everything happened way too fast and I didn’t know who to call at that moment,” Maliah said as she recalled the experience…
“Is it Edward? Did he do something to you? I knew I couldn’t trust him from that cuff,” she rose on her feet now, looking furious.
“It’s not Edward. Surprisingly Edward had been well averagely nice to me,” Maliah pulled her hands and dragged her back to the bed.
“Then what’s going on? What happened to you that you couldn’t tell me about?” Mandy’s voice was calm, the care and concern could be heard in the way she spoke.
“Long story short, Dad got into gambling and owes Mr. Edward a hundred grams. I came back home and was taken to pay up his money… That went on and…” Maliah explained and Mandy gasped at intervals of the story. The shocked expression on her face made Maliah laugh as she went on.
“So now what?”
“What do you mean, now what?” Maliah looked confused.
“Don’t try to bypass it, girl. Do you like him, ’cause he’s definitely into you,” She was confused about the obvious, but Maliah was too quick to deny it and dispute that thought.
“It’s an act. Trust me when I tell you this, he just wants me to fulfill the bargain of my deal,” she hugged, refusing to believe it.
“And you?” Mandy looked at her “What about me?” She questioned in response.
“Are you into him? Do you like him,” she furrowed her brows, staring deeply at her as she awaited her response.
“Don’t you dare make this about me? Now engage? Fiance? When did all of that happen?” She navigates her hands around her while Mandy rolls her eyes knowing she is changing conversation…
“Where do I start?” She breathed out in response, while Maliah squealed like a fan girl.
“Anywhere! Everywhere! Just start!” She exclaimed in excitement…
“Okay! Okay!! Relax,” Mandy chuckled, shaking her head.
“Well, it started off with his parents coming to my office…. I had a little fight with my Dad you know how it is but then Mom… And right now I’m staying with them as part of that family….” She covered her mouth in shock, while her eyes stared at me like it was going to drop off her socket.
“He’s a Reigns? Like the Reigns family?” She asked, looking astonished while she nodded my head staring at the look on her face as it reminded me of how shocked I was too.
“Well I guess we both didn’t see that coming,” she laughed…
“Girl you went from dating your secretary to marrying a freaking billionaire,” Maliah said, and took out her phone as if surfing the internet…
“I know, but it scared me. This baby, a new home. It frightens me a lot,” Mandy poured out…
“But what would you do after the baby is here? Are you and Christian going to keep being together or?” She asked
“I don’t know, I guess I’ll see how it goes,” Mandy nodded in understanding.
“Either way I’m happy for you,” they hugged it out while slumping at the bed.

“You met her at the same club? That same night I talked about Maliah being pretty on the dance floor,” Edward laughed while Christian rolled his eyes at him.
“What? Not like you didn’t meet Mandy after we left,” he shrugged in his defense…
“Nah! A very ugly nuisance got to her first. We didn’t meet that night. I was well staring from a distance,” Edward said smiling.
“That smile. What did you do to him?” Chris gave him a suspicious look.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“What I would have done,” Edward shrugged his shoulders, not affected by Chris’s gasp. After all, it’s not like he didn’t know he could do that.
“So you became obsessed with her, didn’t you? Cause Aiden mentioned to me,” he clicked his tongue, Chris glared at him but he was redundant to even flinch at it.
If it’s one thing they both know, it’s that they both have a not so common way of getting whatever or whoever they want. And even if it didn’t stick right with anyone, they didn’t care.
“Don’t you dare make this about me? You kidnapped her and killed a man. What name tag should we put on that?” Christian furrowed his brows at him waiting for his response.
“Technically I did ask them to beat him up. And shot his legs, and hands cause he grabbed her waist and threw him to the hospital out of generosity. I didn’t kill no one, I just gave him a warning card,” he smiled in a psychotic way that made Christian cringe.
“Don’t give me a judgey face. You aren’t so perfect after all” he said and they both laughed…
“Well then. I guess it’s cheers to having the girls we want,” he raised his wine glass up in the air, staring back at Edward.
“Cheers to Making them ours and keeping it that way,” Edward responded and they clicked their glass before gulping down the drink in one go.
“That’s true. We have to make it stay that way,” they laughed at that thought when they heard laughter from upstairs making them stare at each other…
“I wonder what the Ladies are up to?”
“Yeah me too. Why don’t we go find out?” Edward suggested already up on his feet and Chris did the same as they dropped their glasses as they made their way up the stairs…
