CHAPTER 1
Amy Cartels trudged wearily into her father's estate building, her audition still replaying in her mind, she was sure she nailed it. She smiled at herself and strolled down to her room, as she passed her step- sister's room she heard groans and moans as though Cassy, her step sister was in pain. She remembered Cassy hadn't come for the audition to perform her role today.
She had called her even if she knew they were more enemies than sisters. Her sister didn't pick up. She walked tiredly to her own room, which was next after her step sister's room. She was not in the mood to have a fight with anyone, but the groans and moans came out louder this time.
Despite her mother and step-sisters' mistreatment, she cared about them and was disturbed, so she stood in front of the door and let out breath after breath. She was unable to allow her be in pain. She opened the door silently, and was about to stroll in when her eyes fell to the bed, her feet trembled, her mouth fell open, her heart sank, her breathing became rapid, and her heart was pounding in her chest this time.
She was astonished by what she saw. Ryan, her boyfriend, and her step-sister were having sex. They were deep into it and didn't even notice when she opened the door and was standing there for almost two minutes. Ryan was on top of Cassy as he plastered her with kisses, he rubbed his hands slowly on her naked figure, the body was intertwined and curled.
She was so angry, her face turned red, the anger in her eyes was burning bright like a fire, her fist clenched, her teeth were tightly merged, and her lips were pressed, her eyes were teary. She wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, she was in the mood to create a scene, her heart was heavy.
She barged out of the room and slammed the door with intense anger in her. This was when the two lovers who were so deep in their act noticed someone was standing there all this why.They hastily put on their clothes and hurried outside to see who it was.
Amy ran out of the house as she couldn't believe what she had just seen. In shock, the servants were staring at one another and speculating about what had happened inside. She had just come back now and responded to their greetings, smiling at them. Amy was about to order her to leave the house by one of her father's butlers when Cassy and Ryan barged out.
"William!" Amy yelled the anger in her can be clearly noticed.
"Yes ma." Williams said, waiting for her order. He had never seen her rage like this since he had worked for Mr. Richard for six years now.
"Please take me out of here now, I need to cool my head." She snapped her voice not too loud as though she was crying.
She paced up and down as she was anxiously waiting for the butler to get the car keys. Her boyfriend ran to her, Cassy followed him behind her hands folded, she kept her face as though she had regretted her actions as they walked down to her as though they didn't have shame in them.In her eyes Amy could see that she didn't regret her misdeed.
"My love I am sorry for what just happened, It wasn't how it seems it is." Ryan said to her as he wanted to hold her hands, his dark green eyes maintaining an awkward eye contact with hers.
"Get behind me you ungrateful soul without shame." she retorted as she pushed off his hand.
"Sister, I am sorry I didn't mean to.....
"Can you shut up your mouth and save your unworthy explanation to yourself!" Amy sneered before her step-sister could finish what she was about to say. She knew how cunny and dangerous she was. Cassy and her mother have caused nothing but pain to Amy.
Cassy eyebrows furrowed as her eyes fled to Amy's pale face. She was shocked at Amy's anger, she had never seen her in such an intense rage in her entire life.
Ryan was just kneeling down at the front of Amy as he was also shocked too. They have been dating for years now and he had never seen her in such an angry State.
"Amy I will make it up to you,I promise, I know I was stupid and you have the right to hit me right now." He said as he walked with his knee to get close to Amy. He had fallen down from the push he received from her.
Cassy raised her eyebrows as she looked at Kyran, she was angry that he was apologizing as a lover boy. They had always done this.
Amy's heart was in chaos as she stared at them as though she wasn't the one they were apologizing to. She could see that her step sister was not pleading from her heart, Amy could see from her Cassy's eyes that she was happy with what she just did.
"I won't say anything to you both, you both are nothing but betrayals!" She sneered and her voice thundered.
" I hate you both!
" I hate this house!
" I regretted the day I met both of you! Amy kept on pouring out her anger on them, not minding her harsh words. She stormed out to the car parking space where the butler was already waiting for her. Leaving the both of them in confusion.
She entered the car as the butler ignited the engine and drove out of the estate. When they were out of the compound the driver was so scared to ask her where they were heading to.The intense rage in her made him scared to speak.
"Ma'am, please where are we heading to?"
Williams the butler as in fear. She didn't reply, so the butler turned as he called her more loudly this time.
"Ma'am please where are we heading to?"
The butler asked this time as he used his right hand to tap her gently, while he used his left hand to keep the car in momentum.
Amy jerked up as she was brought out from her trance. " We are heading to the Peace Avenue hotel." She said her voice was a little bit calm this time.
The butler drove the car to the hotel in less than twenty minutes. When they got there she told him to go home, that she would be back on her own and there was no need for him to come pick her.
She walked into the hotel, which had a bar inside it. She has come here sometimes with Ryan to have drinks and have fun, so she knows the way around.
It was 6:00pm, so the bar was not filled up, but it was also not quiet as music was booming out from all sides of the bar parlor. She walked down into the bar and she saw some men at the opposite side celebrating. They didn't notice when she entered. She just passed to one side of the table. The attender came to her and she ordered a drink .
"Ma'am, that is a strong alcohol I am afraid It would be harsh for your body system." The kind bartender tried to explain to her .
"Get me the drink I ordered and please be fast about it!" She sneered her face was red, her eyes were swollen.
The bartender hurriedly went to get what she ordered as he placed it on a tray. He gave it to her and she started drinking immediately, she drank and drank to stupor making it hard to see what was happening around her.
Meanwhile, the bar was now filled with people. Cassy, her step-sis had followed her immediately she left and had seen her drinking. She was happy as she quickly got up to her, by then she was already messed up, her body stinks with a strong alcoholic smell. Cassy took her up and carried her to a room she had paid for when she saw her drinking, as she knew she would possibly be drunk. She took her there and barged the door. She went out to call someone.
Amy felt someone calling her name, and carried her to a room that was dark, just the dim light made it look somehow bright. She saw a huge man walk up to her, stripping down his clothes and laying on top of her naked. Her vision was blurry, though she could see light flashing on them as though someone was taking a picture of them. She was not sure, as she thought it was because of the excess alcohol she had taken and now she thought her eyes were betraying her.
She heard someone said something like "Enjoy being raped." Then slammed the door.
Cassy walked out of the hotel, happy and confused at the same time as she couldn't tell who was in bed with her freaking step sister.
"Who could that be!" She wondered.
As she was leaving the hotel a mysterious figure watched from the shadows.

You can't force my mouth to say what you want to hear." Blood rushes to my groin as her words settle in the tensed air between us. Does she realize the gravity of what she'd just said?
