Sugar

Unfortunate

Third Person PoV

When Amanda returned home, she threw her things away and yelled in frustration. Rudy, Amanda’s newest boy toy, was in the showers when he heard all the commotion. The man decided to run out butt naked with a golf club ready in his hand because he thought someone had broken in.

“Amanda?! I felt scared! I thought someone had broken in!” Amanda looks up to Rudy while eyeing him up and down.

“Do you want to know what happened today? I went to the private island where Tiffany often spends her free time in and saw a young girl by her side. When did she find the time to take this girl in while I struggled to pay for us? Rudy, I want to show that girl some lesson for taking what is mine.” Rudy placed the gold club down before getting himself a towel.

“I thought you knew by now. Everyone has been talking about Tiffany’s new girl. She’s only nineteen years old, and people said that the reason why Tiffany chose her is that she is gorgeous. I haven’t seen the girl yet, but I heard rumors. The new girl is from a low-income family with a huge debt.” Amanda scoffed.

“I am someone with a huge debt on my shoulder! That woman should help me instead. I’ve been through a lot to keep her happy before. I was lonely, and I needed someone to fulfill my s****l need. That woman should have known better than to end things with me! This is not fair after I sacrifice my youth for her!” Amanda slammed her hand on the table.

“We need to do something if we want to continue living like this. Let’s sue Tiffany and her friends for defamation. Her friends have been spreading baseless rumors about me, and we can use that against her easily.” Rudy shakes his head no.

“But Tiffany has a whole team of lawyers backing her up. Not to mention she has people in the prosecutor as her lackeys. Are you sure we have any chance to win against her?” Amanda sighed before shaking her head no.

“I believe we have none of the sorts. Even her friends are people who have a name in this country. We can’t go against her either, just that. But nothing is impossible until we try.” Rudy sighed.

“At least both of us has our career, but if we anger Tiffany off, I don’t think our career will survive despite being in this industry for years. Why don’t we find other alternatives? We love each other- I’m sure we can think of something.” Amanda smiled.

“Why don’t you find yourself someone richer and take her money for me. That way, we can still survive in this country.” Rudy was surprised by such ideas.

“Are you serious? Amanda, please rethink this.” Amanda shrugged.

“I’ll do my best to find an old bastard to pay for my living expenses while taking revenge on Tiffany. I believe there are people out there that has more money and power than the Iscariot. We have to find them and seduce them.” Rudy doesn’t like the idea at all.

“If we do that, the whole process will include us sleeping with them. I- I don’t want that.” Amanda sighed.

“Don’t you want money, Rudy? I thought the reason why you’re with me is because of money. Money is what makes us continue living every day. Without money, we can’t pay our bills. Do you want to be in debt? There’s a way for me to take some of Tiffany’s money. All I need is time and a lot of thinking. That girl- she seems innocent. I’m sure Tiffany cares for her well-being.” Amanda smirk as she thinks of a way to have her revenge.

“I don’t think this is a great idea, Amanda. We’re going against someone who is friends with politicians and royal families from other countries. We have no chance of retaliating at all.” Amanda ignores Rudy’s concerns.

“Oh please- I’ve dated a prince before. I’m sure my old friends wouldn’t let me suffer. Tiffany will suffer for what she’s done to me. I need to think of a way before this month ends. Someone needs to pay for this house’s rent.” Amanda decided to go to her room while Rudy went to the bar to get himself a drink.

“Amanda is going to be the death of me. I need to think of a way to help her. But what can I do except sell my body to those old and lonely housewives? There’s a limit to things I should do to make her happy. And selling myself is one of them.” Rudy looked up at his reflection on the reflective wall before lifting his glass with a smile.

“Is it a crime to be this hot?” Rudy asked himself before pouring another glass of whiskey.

“What are you talking about?” Amanda asked back out to see Rudy admiring himself through the reflection of the wall.

“Oh, nothing. I’m just trying to see if I could lure any rich and lonely housewives into giving me their money. I heard there’s a place where these exact women would hang out and find younger boys to play with. I’ll find one if you think that’s the best way for us to pay for such a lifestyle.” Amanda chuckled.

“Make use of your looks and the size of your friend to make us more money. Find one that is loaded with money.” Rudy sighed.

“Are you sure you won’t get jealous?” Amanda nodded.

“I’ll be mad angry if you decided to call for the old hag, though. Remember that I’m holding your reputation a hostage. If you ever betray me, I will make you suffer.” Rudy sighed before nodding his head.

“Don’t worry, my dear. I’ll do what I can to keep everything ours.”

MEANWHILE,

Lia hummed as she watched Lucia walkout from the changing room with the dress she had chosen earlier.

“Are you comfortable?” Lucia shakes her head no.

“Isn’t this too revealing? My chest is about to be exposed if I move my body.” Lia chuckled.

“I wore a see-through dress once when I was forced to follow miss Tiffany to a school reunion. Trust me; this is not revealing at all. Plus, you’ll be standing beside miss Tiffany. No one will dare to look at you.” Lia walked up to Lucia whole, checking the dress.

“Why don’t you try the red dress that you choose earlier.” Lucia nodded before she went back to the changing room. Lia went back to her seat while enjoying a glass of champagne complimentary from the boutique.

“It’s been a while since we see you around, miss Lia. Did Lady Tiffany send you around the globe yet again?” Lia smiled.

“I wish. I am around and about. But I decided to keep myself away since I have a lot of things to do behind the scene. The rumors about miss Tiffany and Amanda have spread like wildfire. I am simply doing damage control.” Lia smiled. The boutique manager hummed before nodding her head.

“So what’s the story about the new girl? Is she what I think she is?” Lia nodded.

“Miss Lucia is the new sugar baby of miss Tiffany. I’m sure you’ve heard about this little news as well.” The manager nodded her head.

“It’s hard not to know anything since most of our clients like to gossip. Especially those nosy housewives who have too much time on their hands. The gossiper said the new sugar baby looks like a child, but I can confirm that she doesn’t lack anything about her beauty.” Even the manager approves of Lucia’s beauty. Lia smiled.

“Miss Tiffany would be happy to hear that. Anyway, did Amanda come here?” The manager nodded.

“Amanda tried to pay for her things with miss Tiffany’s tab but decided to ignore her purchase until she paid with her own money, which is a bust since her card was denied. People were gossiping about how broke she is.” The manager chuckled.

“Of course- without the miss, Amanda is nothing but a broke-ass model. Only idiots would be fooled by her acting.” The manager sighed.

“Like an old businessman who has a lot of time in his hand?” Lia raised an eyebrow.

“Are you serious?” The manager nodded.

“Of course! That woman was seen talking with an old businessman who is a fool.” Lia sighed.

“And that woman still dares to disturb miss Tiffany while visiting the private island with miss Lucia.” Lucia came back out from the changing room wearing the red dress.

“Wow. Red is truly your color, Miss.” Lucia blushed.

“The manager is right. We need to add that dress to the list.” Lucia smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror.

“I never dreamt of wearing such an expensive dress like this before. Hell, I could only watch those dresses on display before, and now I am wearing one of them.” Lia smiled.

“You should expect more than having the dresses you want, miss Lucia. Miss Tiffany is capable of giving you anything that you wish. Perhaps it’s time for you to think big.” Lia winked before giving Lucia another dress to try on.

“Again?“

“Again. We have a lot of dresses to try on.” Lucia sighed before going back to the changing room with the dress.

LATER THAT DAY,

Lucia lounged on a couch while flipping through the channel when Tiffany walked up to her without making a sound.

“What are you doing?” Tiffany asked, making Lucia jump in her seat.

“You don’t have to be so surprised. I was only asking a question.” Lucia looks back to Tiffany, smiling at her while on the phone with someone.

“I was put on hold by the person on the other line.” Tiffany takes a seat on the empty armchair before crossing her legs.

“Did you have fun going shopping with Lia?” Lucia nodded.

“Did I buy a little too many things?” Tiffany shakes her head.

“Don’t worry too much about overspending. It’s supposed to be that way. Besides, my wealth wouldn’t be affected even if you bought a whole country. That’s just how rich I am.” Tiffany winked at Lucia before she talked to the person on the other line yet again.

Lucia continues to flip through channels until she found something interesting to watch. After Tiffany ended the call, she placed her phone on the table before immersing herself in the movies.

“What sort of idiotic thing is that woman doing to herself? Just tell the man you like him!” Tiffany said after a while. Her comment made Lucia giggle.

“She’s embarrassed, though. And the man is with someone. Even though they love each other, he couldn’t possibly treat his lover like she doesn't exist. He agreed to be with his current lover, and that woman came after that. The world is not fair sometimes.” Tiffany hummed.

“The man and woman are both at fault for calling for each other. That woman knows that man is not available- why would she still have feelings for her?” Tiffany seems a little pissed about the movie’s storyline.

“Because love has no boundary. It doesn’t matter if you’re married, I’d your heart falls for someone, it stays that way. And it got worse if you constantly meet the person like in this woman’s case. Perhaps it’s best if I find another movie.” Lucia was about to change the channel when Tiffany stopped her.

“I want to see the ending.” Tiffany smiled. Lucia placed the remote down before they both enjoyed the movie. After the movie ended, Tiffany leaned back in her seat and wondered what had just happened.

“So the woman ended up dying after childbirth, and the child was taken by the wife of the man who cheats on his wife- why did the wife and that woman end up being best friends?!” Lucia shrugged her shoulder.

“That’s a nice movie.” Tiffan gave Lucia a look before shaking her head.

“I need a drink. Find us another movie while I go to the kitchen and get us some beers.” Lucia nodded as she flipped through the channel again.

“What about horror movies?”

“I love horror.” As Tiffany made her way toward the fridge, she saw Lia preparing dinner.

“What’s for dinner, Lia?” Lia then explains the full course meal to her boss.

“You exceeded my expectations yet again, Lia. Call us when it’s ready. I decided not to work for the rest of the night and watch movies with Lucia instead.” Lia smiled.

“That’s a great idea, Miss.”
