Chapter 10 Getting kicked out

• Asha got down from the taxi and paid the driver off.
• She walked over to Vivian's door and placed a knock on it. After a while Vivian showed up at the door, she was smiling widely.
• " Good evening Vivian, I am so sorry I am late." Asha apologized and Vivian chuckled.
• " It's ok Asha, I understand, come inside." Vivian replied.
• Asha entered Vivian's house and was staring around the house widely, her eyes almost popped out of its socket while her mouth was slightly open. She looked at the curtains and mouthed a " wow" the house was so breathtaking.
• " Your house Is beautiful, very beautiful." Asha said with a smile. She was still staring wildly as she sat comfortably on the chair.
• " Thank you, I will be right back." She said and left almost immediately.
• After a few minutes, Vivian returned to the living room with Tara.
• " Mommy!" Tara screamed immediately as she sighted her mom sitting on one of the chairs. Asha stood up and Tara rushed to hug her.
• She squatted to Tara's level as she brushed her hair back, staring at her with a smile.
• " Am sorry I couldn't come earlier, work kept me busy." She said and her mind flew back to what happened at the party house.
• Had it been she knew she was going to deliver food at a party house, she wouldn't have gone there.
• She had a painful experience about clubs and she didn't want to think about it.
• " Don't worry mommy, aunt Vivian took care of me. She brought me so many sweet things, look she brought me rainbow candy." Tara showed her the sweet and she smiled.
• Tara has always wanted the rainbow candy but Asha couldn't get it for her, whenever she wants to buy it...she will use the money for something else.
• Asha stood up and Tara grabbed her hand, she smiled before facing vivian.
• " Thank you so much Vivian, I really appreciate it."
• " It's ok Asha, You've got a very sharp and beautiful daughter, I enjoyed her company a lot. So thank you." Vivian said and Asha smiled.

• Asha got home and was surprised to see her luggages outside. She tried opening the door of her apartment and found out it's locked.
• By this time Tara has been rubbing her eyes sleepily.
• " Mommy, isn't the door opening?" She asked as she yawned a little. " I'm feeling sleepy."
• Asha knew Tara was feeling very sleepy, after all it's past her bedtime.
• " Darling, am coming, I will open the door ok?" She said and Tara replied with a nod still rubbing her eyes.
• She walked straight to the landlord's apartment and started banging on it.
• The landlord opened the door and she stepped back, she was fuming in anger already. But she's trying to keep her cool, otherwise he won't let her in.
• " Why would you... knock on my....door that loud Asha? Do you want....die?" The landlord said, the excessive alcohol content in his brain slurring his words. His protruding belly was a testimony to the power of the cheap liquor in his hand.
• Asha shook her head sideways, seeing this man alone irritated her and she pitied the woman who was his wife, but that isn't her problem anyways.
• " Sir, why are my luggages outside?" She asked, making the man chuckle.
• He belched loudly as the smell of alcohol filled the air, he took another large amount of alcohol before facing Asha.
• " You are owing me Asha, for six months now and you won't get into that house until you pay me!" He yelled and Asha knelt down immediately.
• " Sir, I promise to pay you next week, please just let me and my daughter in... she's feeling very sleepy and it's late." Asha said, fighting back her tears.
• It was late already and they had nowhere else to go... walking on that street of theirs is very dangerous especially at night. She has heard of so many rape cases and didn't want to be a victim.
• " You are beautiful Asha, go find a rich guy and satisfy him, I am sure you will get paid handsomely." He said and she shook her head sideways, the tears she's been fighting back started pouring out of her eyes.
• " Sir please, I beg off..." He closed the door in a loud bang cutting her off. She cried bitterly still on her knees.
• Tara walked to her and cleaned her face, she looked up to her daughter and hugged her tightly.
• Her daughter is the only thing that gives her joy. She's always planned to commit sucide but she will always stop by thinking of her daughter.
• Not because she's scared of dying but because she's scared to leave her daughter alone in this cruel world.

• THE LUCAS'S EMPIRE*
• Working in the morning has always been stressful for Camdan. But most times he's saved from those stress all thanks to his secretary Nicole.
• She is always ready to assist him, whenever he needs assistance and does her job perfectly.
• But today was different, he did all the signing by himself because Nicole wasn't around. He missed her but he would never admit it.
• He rubbed his temple tiredly as a migraine struck him hard and he groaned silently.
• He walked over to his safe, as he entered his password and the safe opened revealing lots of drugs.
• He brought out an aspirin as was about closing the safe when his eyes met with a particular drug, he sighed deeply before closing the safe.
• After taking the aspirin, he sat on the chair relaxing his nerves when the words of Josh played in his head.
• " Why do you want me to leave?!" He yelled. " Tell me, why do you hate me so much?!. I know your mom hates me and I thought yours will be different....but no...I was wrong."
• " No! Talk to me...f**king tell me why you hate me!" He yelled.
• Camdan groaned as he roughed his hair. He unbuttoned his shirt a little and stood in front of his office window viewing the city.
• " What is wrong with me?" He muttered.

• GOLDEN HIGH SCHOOL*
• The first duration was over, when prudent sighted Jace was standing in the hallway taking something from his locker.
• She quickly left the class and walked over to him.
• She tapped him on his shoulder and he turned to her immediately. She saw his face that was still bruised and she bit her bottom lips hard.
• " What do you want?" He asked, causing shivers down her spine. Even though his face was injured he still looked handsome.
• "Well, I just wanted to check on you, your face is badly...." She was saying as she wanted to touch his face but he moved his face to the other side and she ended up touching nothing.
• " Look, prudent or whatever your name is...I don't want trouble...I don't even know when we became friends." He said and flung his backpack on his shoulder and added.
• " Just stay away from me please, I don't need another beating from your brother." With that he said and walked out.
• Prudent held her chest as it hurt badly, she couldn't believe he shunned her like that. It was all because of her brother.
• " That asshole." She muttered.
• Allison walked up to her as she sang out loud.
• " We are the lovesick girls, we are the love sick girlsssss!!!" She screamed and Prudent turned to her.
• " Keep it down"
• " Whatever." Ally rolled her eyes and added
• " You like Jace right?" She asked.
• " F**k off Ally." Prudent said and walked out. Ally chuckled as she followed suit.
• Tbc…
