For the first time, I was unable to handle the situation I was in; everything was crumbling before me. What I could not understand was why Duce had to leave without wanting to get any explanation; there was nothing to explain anyway. Days and weeks went on and I had not stepped out; I had…

Two weeks on, I ran into Duce again. This time I ignored all his efforts to speak to me because I was not interested in anything other than making money to take care of myself and my siblings. That same day, I bumped into my spanish lesson teacher. This was sure the worst way to…

Barrister Thompson opened the document and it stated “all my property to Tana”. I was astounded so I begged him to show me the document and it stated what had just been read. At this point, my limbs went weak. I could not believe my ears. I began to wonder how Agatha will put all…

That evening, I was so restless. I could not bring myself to imagine my fate if Agatha’s driver ever sold me out to the public. As smart as I was, I could not afford to take any chances by making him an ally. The following day, I sort the services of a very renowned hitman…

Evening came and I was totally settled in my new home. Agatha had come home about thirty minutes ago. Once she was done freshening up, she came to join me at table for dinner. Over dinner, she told me Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA was the name of the school I gained admission into. She…

A month had passed and my parents were six feet. We lived on the island for everything had been taken away from us. Yet that did not bother me. My only bother was how I was going to take care of my siblings. Just as I thought of this, I heard someone banging on the…

I was a whore and I never regretted it, until this day. My name is Tana, the first of three children. Growing up, I had a wonderful family; my parents were not wealthy, yet ensured we never ran short of anything. Our lives were peaceful. Everything was going on so well and I wouldn’t have…
