Mind game

"So do you lie often to your husband?"

"Husband "

Kierra exclaimed thinking of the conversation that they just had. She knew that she could never catch a break, the handsome gentleman she had only met knew James, and anyone that knows James is terrible news to her.

"What did you just say."

"You and James are married am I wrong."

' Oh if he knew how wrong he was' she thought,

"were engaged." She replied, surprising him. Alex had a broad smile spread across his face 'this lunatic' she thought

"What is it with me and lunatics."

She finally said out loud not realizing that Sebastian was still standing near her.

"You said no bad words say it nice or nothing."

That little boy was looking more and more like her son every day and at every turn. She was teaching him manners, but at This moment, she had none. If she was going to lead by example, she had to abide by her own rules

"Sorry sweetheart."

She exclaimed rubbing his head "Am sorry."

She replied never leaving Alex's gaze " bad day."

Instead of being insulted by Kierra Alex's smile spread further

"And here I thought I had a chance."

'Yep James is going to kill us.' She thought of replying, but instead, she called out to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, you know what to do."

"All right."

He smiled brightly and proceeded to kick Alex in his private "Merde" In return which translates to fuck.

Kierra erupted in laughter; she knew Sebastian was her protector. whenever someone would take her the wrong way when he was around, they had a code word. Kiera would tell Sebastian 'you know what to do' and he would practice his best move on her attackers.

often after a stunt like this one, they would run off, but Kierra didn't care where she was, she was now busting out of laughter, she couldn't believe Alex. He spoke French too, this guy was full of surprises.

"Sebastian honey why don't you find the nursery, am pretty sure kc should be there, and if she isn't I thank you in advance love."

She kneeled to his side kissing his forehead

" come find me "

"Now if you'll excuse me."

Alex was in pain, but he didn't show it, he held his painful moan

" I see my friends."

Kierra exclaimed proceeding outside to the outdoor pool

"Hey k."

Exclaimed Keisha the brain, she worked with James, so he had no choice but to let them be friends. Kierra knew better; she didn't trust Keisha, she often thought that James was keeping an eye on her through Kiesha

"Girl who's the fine chocolate." Exclaimed Dena the flirt who worked with Kierra

"you're looking fine tonight."

Exclaimed kelly the bold one or the bisexual one, She was also known as the I want to sleep with you girl, but she was the only friend that Kierra knew since childhood, James had no choice but to validate their friendship as if she ever cared what he thought of her.

No matter what the problems were between James and Kierra, Kel was always with her. Kierra smiled at her friends pointing at each one of them Responding

"no, no, and no."

She knew full well what her friends were implying.

"Can I talk to you?"

Exclaimed kelly

"OK"

kell extended her harm and Kierra took it locking her arm around hers

"What a gentleman, "

She exclaimed to her friends, and they all laughed, They walked around the corner away from Prying eyes

"I knew you wouldn't be here but were friends you don't have to lie to me."

"I didn't lie."

She exclaimed holding Kelly's cheeks delicately

"met Alex today, which is a charmer with words and before I knew it, am here."

"With Sebastian"

"Yeah"

"Gosh, I love that kid."

"He's so adorable can I adopt him."

"Kel"

"What he's your brother, he needs a mom."

"And what you volunteer."

"As usual."

She exclaimed laughing Kelly always tries to cheer her up, but she wasn't kidding, they both love Sebastian and Kel tough if she got closer to Sebastian, she would get closer to Kierra.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a guest."

"Ah"

Kel exclaimed smacking her on her rear

"U hmm."

She moaned teasing Kelly winking and Walking away from her Out of nowhere a firm hand grasp kelly pulling her against the wall and begin choking her.

"What the fuck you think you're doing."

"Am sorry Alex…"

Ahe lets out between breath; she fought as hard that she could do so he wouldn't hurt her further

"A…." She exclaimed her eyes rolling inside of her head

"Don't you fucking touch her, I swear that's the last thing you'll be able to touch."

Seeing that Kelly was at the point of no returns, He grabbed her forcefully and threw her against the walls, she fell on the ground.

A few minutes passed before she regains her composure to stand up and was now breathing again.

"Why are you so bent on fucking her over."

She exclaimed rubbing her sore throat

"None of your damn business,"

she realized that it was the wrong question to ask Alex, He moved to take her abruptly from the floor as if he cared about helping her on her feet

" shut the fuck up."

She pushed him standing on her feet, but he made sure that she knew that he was still in charge of her He brought his hand to her cheeks with force hoping that it burned

"What does she know."

"Ah"

She exclaimed holding her cheeks stumbling against the wall nearly falling on the floor.

"Nothing"

He smiled, taking her by her arm gently knowing that his mind games would scare her, she knew not to undermine him. Kierra didn't know that Kelly had a brother when they were kids, and she still doesn't know to this day.

James was a charmer much like James, but he proceeded on abusing kelly every chance that he had. She was too scared to retaliate, added to that she was too proud to leave him because she was Hanging on to the notion that they were family, he was the only family that she had, and because of this, at all times Alex had the upper hand

" James won't know what hit him" He exclaimed

"I will make him Pay for taking her away from me, my dear sister."
