Meet Kyle and Audrey

KYLE'S POV

(A poor guy)

I sang whole-heartedly..

Because It is what i love the most,

what i almost cannot do without,

the only thing that gives me Joy

since there's nothing and no one else ..

that can give me this happiness except;

MUSIC.

🎶The moment I met you for the very first time

🎶I remember that I'm out of breath

🎵Maybe you've heard it and still remember the day I was upset

🎶I really like it when I hear your voice

🎵But I like it better when we walk together

🎶Yeah, there was a time, there was a day when I loved you with all my heart.

🎵You are my first love everytime

🎶I'll wait for you untill the spring snow comes

🎵I thought I was drunk that night 'cos my heart was really strange and the wind blew.

🎵That night I was so sad and stumbled.

🎶You are my first love everytime

🎶Sometimes I feel like love is lonely and my life is always hard.

🎶I knew it from the day we spent together, that; 🎵 there was a day I loved you with all my heart...

"Careless woman! " I heard my Dad yelled at my Mom.

Oh! Not again.

Despite the fact that I was so engrossed with my music even with a earpiece in my both ears, they still succeeded in interrupting me and making me miss a line then I skipped more lines.

I sang as if I were in love with someone but I wasn't and I haven't even been but yet the title of song I was singing, which I composed - (my first song ) is 'First love'

"Bring it on! I'm prepared for you! " My Mom yelled back at him.

Arrrgh! I stood up, walked to my door and slammed it. It's gonna reduce their noise at least.

I can't do anything to stop them, I mean I've tried severally but it eventually turned out abortive.

So I would rather just leave them and mind my business.

Well they are part of my business too.

(Poor girl)

AUDREY's POV

"Surprise!!" My Mom exclaimed as she untied the piece of cloth which she used to cover my face - my eyes precisely.

"Where are we mommy? " I asked, surprised..

Staring at the beautiful environment...The sitting room.

"Mo..mom" I muttered.

"Yes baby" She replied smiling.

"This is our new home"

"Mom, don't tell me you used the loan you received to buy this expensive house? " I asked in a grouse.

"C'mon Audrey, it's the smallest building in Wearous Estate" My mom stated.

"Wearous Estate? " I exclaimed almost in a scream then I rushed to a window nearby to check through it.

Afar, I saw a bill board ' WEAROUS' was scrawled on it.

I don't want to believe that my mom bought a house here in Wearous Estate of all Estates?

"Mom, how are we gonna cope? We don't belong to this environment" I whined.

"How do you mean? What do you mean by we don't belong to this environment?"

"Everyone here is rich, I mean extremely wealthy" I continued to complain.

"Audrey, I trained you really well, have you stopped believing that there is nothing impossible?" Mom said obviously fed up of my complaints already.

"I know Mom, I'm simply saying you should have just bought a small house in a less standard estate. OK this is the smallest house here right but I'm pretty sure it is fvcking expensive. Later or even sooner, the bank managers would start running to you for their money. Think about it mom, how do you intend to pay them? how are we gonna pay them? " I grumbled.

I don't know what's wrong with mom..

We've been living a small but comfortable life with her friend, Bridget but she got married a week away. Now we have no choice rather than to find our own house and live our own life.

She pleaded for a loan which was reluctantly given to her. I expected her to get one mini-home on a low-key but she bought this small house which I could still classify to as 'Expensive' because of it location. It's an estate for the Rich.

Wearous - WEAlthy and prospeROUS.

Ugh!

"It would take centuries before I'll find someone who is wealthless like me that's even if there is one here" I said.

"How many times do I have to tell you never to look down on your self, never to see you yourself as a poor girl..? Your father is very rich. Why are you making it seems like it's wrong for us to live among the rich?"

My Mom is single and I cherish her more than anything else in this world.

How could Dad be so heartless to abandon my mom after putting her in a motherly state? Huh, did I just call him Dad? Never ! I have no father..Such an heartless man is not worthy to be called a father.

Mom told me it was her fault anyway.

She did what teenage girls do.

Because he was swimming in money, she clinged around him then later fell in love with him but she fell in love with his money first.

She did everything to make him believe that she loves him to the moon.

When she found out that she was pregnant for him, she called his numbers and told him she had a baby in her womb for him.. He hung up the call, she tried to call him again but his phone was turned off.

When she tried visiting him, she was told that he and his families already travelled to Italy and they aren't gonna return anytime soon but they never returned.

That was how I came into existence, a rich girl with no father.

"It's wrong mom, it is"

"I just broke the first news to you and you are grumbling. What if I say the other one? " Mom said.

What?

"And what is it? "

"I registered you at Wearous High School" My mom proclaimed.

I was shocked..

Why Mom?

"You'll be resuming tomorrow, I've got you the uniforms and everything you would need to look like a student of Wearous school"

"WHS is meant for wealthy students from wealthy homes" I told her

"You are rich girl remember?" My Mom said.

I scoffed, Yeah a poor rich girl.

She calls me a rich girl because I have a wealthy father who is absolutely anonymous to me.

"Aren't you the one always telling me to be myself and never to emulate what other people do? " I asked adamantly.

"Listen Audrey, I know the school is well-popular for being prosperous and filled with wealthy students. Don't make it uneasy for us, if it is about the money...you don't need to worry about it b'cos I've gotten you an after school Job, it's not too far from Wearous High School"

"Oh Mom, you are doing so many things without my consent" I sniveled then intentionally fell flat on a couch.- It was... comfortable.

"I know you don't want it, that's why I did all these things without informing you first" My Mom said.

"And what if..?" I paused "What if I reject it all, I mean I refuse to go to WHS, I refuse to take a part-time job or even refuse to stay in this house and it Environment" I said and saw a rising unhappy-and-angry look on her face.

"You won't want to make me sad right? " Mom said already looking despondent.

"I love you mom, sincerely I do. I don't want you to spend or go through too much" I briefly explained.

"But I'm not complaining "

"Ok fine! I'll do what you want, I'll act like I'm one of the rich girls from a rich home when I get to thw school" I said sarcastically and mom heaved a sigh of relief 'cos the long argument as finally come to an end.

"Where is the kitchen, I'll go make dinner" I said then stood up.

Making Mom happy is what I want the most and nothing more.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
