Chapter 4 - CHAPTER FOUR: CAN'T STAND A LOWLIFE

Writer's p.o.v.

James decided to take Ophelia to his villa because leaving her with Helen and Anastasia was like leaving her with two hungry lions. Few steps towards the Maybach exelero James pressed the remote control of the car and the doors automatically slides opened. James kept Ophelia at the back seat and helped her put on the seat belt . As he made his way to the drivers seat he saw a feminine figure starring at him in the dark. He halted for a while trying to process where he had seen that figure earlier. Suddenly a black car pulled over and the figure got into the car and it drove away.

James' p.o.v.

I was certain that I have seen that figure before but, my mind couldn't process where and who it was . I hopped into my car in a haste to take the girl to safety.

Few minutes away from the mansion, I looked at the rear view mirror to know if the girl was alright. She was asleep. I examined her body through the rear mirror. Her long fair legs was exposed due to the short dress she was putting on. There were marks on her laps and it was bleeding. I pulled out a white handkerchief and stretched my arm to wipe off the blood. As I wiped off the blood on her laps, I admired the straight fair soft legs she had.

Ophelia's p.o.v.

I felt someone was touching me and I slowly opened my eyes.

My heart skipped a bit when I saw the handsome man wiping the blood Stains on my laps. He didn't even notice that I was awake. He did it with so much care like his life depends on it. He suddenly looked at my face and saw me starring at him.

James' p.o.v.

I couldn't help myself lustful desire. I looked up to steal more glances at her pretty face when I saw her looking at me.

James felt a Sense of uneasy washed over him.

As he thought that touching a lady in that manner was indecent of him. He quickly looked away.

"I am sorry young lady. " James said shyly as he cleared his throat.

"Thank you so much for everything." Ophelia said.

James didn't say anything, as he concentrates on driving.

*****************************

In a white three story building at the third floor, two feminine voices where heard arguing.

"You are so heartless, how could you do this to your sister." Tiana said to Fiona angrily.

"How dare you refer me as heartless! James is the one I love and nobody, I mean no body can take him away from! I can do anything in n this life just to make him mine." Fiona yelled.

"James does not love you. He is not meant for you. You gotta wake up from that dream and believe he is not for you." Tiana said calmly.

"James loves me, he is just hiding his feelings." Fiona said.

"I can't believe that you are this terrible, you had the guts to blemish your own sister." Tiana Lamented.

"Listen to me Tiana, you are making me lose it. Do you think I will spare you if you get in my way." Fiona said threateningly.

The doorbell rang and the whole apartment went silent.

"Who is it ?" Fiona asked.

"It's Michael" a meek masculine voice said from outside the apartment.

"Your loser boyfriend's here. Guess his taking you out on a date to one of those cheap old restaurant." Fiona scoffed.

"My boyfriend is not a loser, he is the best and the most outstanding student in Wanfam university. He's been going to school on scholarships." Tiana retorted.

"He is from a poor family. He can't even afford a ten thousand dollar Gucci bag for you."Tiana replied mockingly.

"But he is fantastic and self worth." Tiana said with pride as she opened the door.

"Hey pretty. How are you doing?" Michael said as he pecked Tiana on the forehead.

"I am good." Tiana said as she returned the kiss.

"Hi." Michael waved to Fiona.

Fiona looked at Michael disdainfully with out returning the greeting.

It has been obvious to Michael that Fiona hates him for being poor. But, Michael was the most brilliant person in the whole of Wanfam.

"I'll be right back." Tiana said as she went to her bedroom.

****

Michael's p.o.v.

Tiana left the sitting room a sense paranoia washed over me. I sat down on a lounge in the sitting room while waiting for Tiana. I looked up to see Fiona standing in front of me with a hateful look.

****

Fiona's p.o.v.

I was horrified at seeing the lowlife seat on the lounge that cost forty three thousand dollars.

"How dare you seat on my expensive lounge. Your whole family is not worth this lounge." I said with fury.

Michael couldn't say a word rather he stood and made his way to the exit the apartment. But Fiona grab him by the arm and pulled him over, piercing her long sharp nails into his flesh.

"You are only dating Tiana because she is as foolish as you are. Look around the whole campus, no girl will ever fall for a lowlife like you. Even if you are the most intelligent, no girl will ever think of dating someone like you." Fiona scoffed as she pierced her nails deeper.

Michael looked at Fiona and said.

"Tiana is not as selfish as you. She is well cultured and has a kind soul unlike you who behaves like a wild animal."

Fiona was struck by that statement, every man says she behaves like a 'wild animal' her brothers tells her that, every guy in her class also say that in her face even the boy that she loves (James) told her that. But how dare Michael who wears cheap clothes to class, who picks scraps for a living tell her that. She fiercely pushed him and Michael took a few steps back then he let out a mocking laugh.

"What's all the fuss about." Tiana asked as she came out of her room. She was wearing a red fitted dress that shows her curves and light makeup on her face.

"Wow! You look radiant." Michael said calmly.

"Oh, thank you. You are the best boyfriend any girl can ever ask for." Tiana said as she kissed him .

Fiona took out her phone and started browsing it.

"See ya." Tiana said as she left with Michael.
