MzNelly:
Lizzyslaw, I am a little upset with you. Saw my mail?

You mailed me? Sorry, but I haven't seen it. Lemme go check but I doubt I received it.

@MzNelly,

I just saw the mail in my spam folder. Have replied you on how. Sorry about not replying you earlier.

The frustration when you take your time to write and it seems like you're the only one reading it.


THE END jare

mznelly we are reading. dont be discouraged.

@MzNelly,

I followed you to literature section and prior to reading beauty personified, I had only read one other work, something by standd about a girl that was sexually abused. A real life story she said. This was all the more reason why I was captivated by beauty personified. Unfortunately, I don't come online too regularly to cheer you on.

I would like to read this till the end so I will say, please complete it for me, but apart from my desire to read the complete work, I would like you to finish it for you. Don't write it for us alone, write it for you.

I would also like you to finish it because it is a fresh plot at least to me. It is one story that I cannot guess the end of.

Nice story u've got here, miss... Good job, keep it up *following*

{Louis' house}
{Nnenna knocks on the door; Ego opens}

Ego: {groans} Now what?
Nnenna: Kayla, where is she?
Ego: I don't remember you dropping her off here.
Nnenna: Where's Louis then?
Ego: My son has nothing doing with that daughter of yours.
Nnenna: Kayla has to be here. Let me speak to Louis.
Ego: Oh, Nnenna, don't be stvpid. And the "concerned mother" act-please spare me. You let a week pass before you finally decided you're out of money and you need your daughters.
Nnenna: {slaps her}
Ego: Leave my house now, mother of prosstitutes.
Nnenna: I won't leave until I speak to Louis.
{Louis comes to the door}
Louis: What's going on here?
Ego: Well, the mother of wh.ores is here to cause trouble.
Louis: {acknowledges her presence} Ms. Nnenna
Nnenna: Louis, I was wondering if you knew where Kayla is.
Louis: Kayla left some days back, I have no idea where she could be.
Nnenna: And Chioma?
Ego: Yes, your merchandise is nowhere to be found.
{Gbemi's car pulls up at Louis' house and she steps out}
Nnenna; {surprised} Gbemi!
Gbemi: {ignores her and goes to give Louis a peck}
Ego: Gbemi, my dear. You're welcome.
Gbemi: {smiles sweetly} Thank you Ma.
Nnenna: Gbemi, you look good.
Gbemi: Who is this woman? {to Ego} You entertain prosstitutes?
Nnenna: {gasps} Gbemi!
Ego: No o! The thing came here and started asking after her daughter
Gbemi: {chuckles} Kayla wastes NO time. She's actually with one of her new catch.
Nnenna. Who is she with? I beg of you, tell me.
Gbemi: What am I-Kayla's babysitter? Search for her in all the hotels and brothels you can find. You'll surely find her there.
Nnenna: Gbemi, Kayla isn't who you paint her to be. You should know better.
Gbemi: Exactly, I know better. I know the tram.p you have for a daughter. I guess it runs in the family. {to Louis} Let's go darlin' {they walk towards her Jeep}
Nnenna: You backstabber! How dare you go about saying such evil things about Kayla!
Gbemi: {searches through her purse and throws a wad of #10,000 at Nnenna's chest} You probably lack money. Your prossstitutes aren't around.
Nnenna: {completely stunned; watches as Gbemi and Louis enter her car and leave. She finally leaves the spot}
Ego: {goes and picks up the money; smiles to herself}

{The studio}
{Alex goes to meet Kayla. She is in deep thinking}

Alex: {sits beside her}
Kayla: Fvck off.
Alex: C'mon, don't be rude.
Kayla: I'll be any fvcking way I choose. Bleep off now.
Alex: {stares her in the eyes} You really want that?
Kayla: {frustrated} Yes, you b.astard! Just fvck off!
Alex: {hugs her against her will} You poor thing.
Kayla: {emotional; disengages from his hug}
Alex: You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I don't even want to know about it. It's all in the past. Leave it in the casket.
Kayla: You don't care that I was a prosstitute?
Alex: You're not that, Kayla! Change those voices in your head, make them like you instead.
Kayla: Oh, shut up. {stands up} Don't be cheesy.
Alex: I'm not. You're amazing, just the way you are.
Kayla: One more song lyric on me and imma....
Alex: What? What haven't you already done? Huh?
Kayla: Hit you.
Alex: Your words sting more than any physical battery.
Kayla: So why do you still hang around me?
Alex: Stop talking about yourself in such a derogatory manner.
Kayla: I'm of no use, Alex. Just stop. {sits down} My Mom sold me into prosstitution when I was 12. For every sexual encounter I and that bastar.d had, he gave my Mom a sum of #200,000. My virginity and innocence was worth so little.
Alex: What basta.rd? What bast.ard did such a thing?
Kayla: He's referred to as The Don. {Alex makes to leave} Alex! Alex, where are you going?
Alex: Why didn't you have them reported?
Kayla: Alex, please, no! My sister, she'd know.
Alex: Kayla, they both deserve to rot in jail.
Kayla: But my sister....she's so innocent. She doesn't deserve to know any of this.
Alex: Kayla...they just can't go scot free.
Kayla: Life has never been fair to me, Alex. This is my hell, and I can't...seem to get out of it.
Alex: {hugs her} I'm here. I swear, I'm here for you. I won't leave you, I promise you.
Kayla: Please...no promises. I have enough broken ones to last me a lifetime.
Alex: I swear on my life, my parents'...
Kayla: Alex!
Alex: My unborn children-OUR unborn children, I'd die first before I leave you to face the world alone.
Kayla: Alex, gosh you're crazy.
Alex: I'm serious.
{Debra enters}

Debra: Ahem...{the two disengage} Kayla, how do you feel now?
Kayla: Much better, thank you. {smiles warmly}
Debra: That's good to know, 'cause photoshoot is in ten.
Kayla: You guys should go on; I'll join you later on.
Alex: We're not leaving her without you.
Kayla: {groans} Okay then, let's go.

(Restaurant)
(Gbemi and Louis having lunch)
Louis: You were rude to Kayla’s Mom
Gbemi: Have the decency not to defend that prosstitute’s mother. The sound of her name leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. (holds his hand) Let’s talk about us.
Louis: What about us?
Gbemi: Well… I was thinking of introducing you to my mother as my official boyfriend.
Louis: But…you Mom doesn’t like me.
Gbemi: Relax, my Mom likes whatever I like. I have her wrapped around my finger.
Louis: Well, okay, if you say so. Anytime you’re ready then.
(Debra and Kayla walk in laughing)
Debra: This is the best restaurant in town, I assure you.
Kayla: (sights Gbemi and Louis and they both walk up to then) What’s this?
Gbemi: What does it look like? I’m on a date with my beloved fiancé.

Kayla: Fiance?
Gbemi: Yes, fiancé. And you are interrupting our wedding plans.
Kayla: Louis, what’s going on here?
Gbemi: I just told you…
Kayla: Shut up b1tch. Your name ain’t Louis, innit? Talk to me Louis.
Louis: Kayla, it’s…it’s over.
Kayla: What’s over?
Louis: Kayla…I just can’t.
Kayla: Don’t be a bloody coward and say what you have to say!
Louis: The relationship…it’s not working
Kayla: Louis, we’ve loved each other since we were TEN! This isn’t a two-week relationship, Lou. This is our lives!
Gbemi: Kayla, really, you sound pathetic. You should stop.
Louis: I’m sorry, Kayla.
Debra: (holds her shoulder) Let’s go, it’s pointless.
Kayla: You’re breaking up with me in front of her? Really?
Gbemi: Just leave. Enough whining.
Kayla: (at Gbemi) It was a secret: a secret I bestowed to you. Because I TRUSTED you; and you betrayed me without thinking twice. Thank you. (to Louis) And you, you hurt me in more ways than she did_you left me when I needed you the most and got together with my so-called best friend. You know, I hope karma fvcks you up just as bad as you fvcked me up. (she leaves)
Debra: Shame on you two. You’re worse than the Devil himself. (leaves)
Gbemi: Oh great, now my appetite is ruined. (stands up) Let’s go.
Louis: I think I’ll just go home, Gbemi.
Gbemi: You want to go back to your ex, the slutt? All she does is sleep around with men for money.
Louis: I just need to think. (stands up)
Gbemi: Louis, I have enough money to last you a lifetime. All you have to do-bye bye sluttty Kayla, hello wifey, Gbemi. It’s not that hard, really. Kayla has NOTHING to offer you. I, on the other hand, have money, power, fame….a great body. Just stay. Is that too much to ask?
Louis: It’s just that…I love Kayla
Gbemi: LOVED Kayla, Louis. LOVED. She is absolutely good for nothing; a prosstitute. What part of this statement do you not understand? I can make you kiss poverty goodbye forever, get you out of shirts like these-(touches his shirt) You know what? Make up your mind-my money or some stupid love that isn’t gonna last?
(silence)

Louis: Where do you want us to go? (Gbemi smiles, pleased)

Queening, thanks. If I have regular readers, I don't think I need anyone else here.
AyokunleRuth, of course. Invite me when you commence your story
AliyuOzioma, thanks honey
Chinweblinkz, lol babes, thanks jare
estie doll, folake25, gracias

lizzyslaw thank you dearest

you are welcome dearie.

Its amazing how selfish desires and envy always makes supposed best friends betray the trust reposed in them. Gbemi is a classic example. Patiently waiting for her to meet her waterloo.

Kudos!

(The studio)
(Nnenna enters and walks towards Ms. Clara)

Nnnena: Ma’am?
Ms. Clara: Can I help you?
Nnenna: Yes, actually. I’m looking for Ms. Kayla, Ms. Kayla Okoro.
Ms. Clara: (scoffs_) Who are you to her-her mother?
Nnenna: Yes.
Ms. Clara: (chuckles) Well, it’s a good thing you’re here. Maybe you can finally tell that rogue daughter of yours to quit being a disgrace to modeling.
Nnenna: But Kayla is as good a model as any other.
Ms. Clara: She has no manners. At the very least, teach her that.
Nnenna: I’m proud of the woman Kayla has become. She’s relentless, beautiful, has a sweet soul, independent and….
Ms. Clara: Woman, what is this? I never asked you for her biography.
Nnenna: Just where is she?
Ms. Clara: Lenora! (Lenora shows up, getting ready to leave) Where’s Kayla?
Lenora: Who cares?
Ms. Clara: (points to Nnenna) Her Mom.
Lenora: Oh, you’re the mother of that unfortunate h.oe.
Ms. Clara: What are you saying, Lenora?
Lenora: It’s no news that Kayla is notorious for sleeping with men for their money. Currently she’s wh.oring around with Alex.
Ms. Clara: What?! Alex?
Lenora: Yes. She stays at his place.
Nnenna: Where does this Alex stay?
Lenora: I don’t know and I don’t care. If I had that h.oe for a daughter-God forbid-I’d probably disown her..
Nnenna: Kayla is ten times the woman you’ll ever be.
Lenora: (chuckles) Sure; compare a virgin with a loose slutt that chases after guys like her life depended on it. Oh, that’s right, it does.
Nnenna: You should be shot in the head if you think the value of a woman lies in her being a virgin or not. She has confidence, self respect and doesn’t go about ratting on others; something you lack in large amounts. (to Ms. Clara) Where does this Alex stay?
Ms. Clara: I’ll drive you there. (they both leave)
Lenora: Pfft. Who does she think she is? Kayla this, Kayla that. I’ll show you. (leaves for Luke’s office)

(Kayla’s house)
(Kayla bangs on the door while yelling out her mother’s name)
Kayla: Nnenna! Nnenna! You better show your damned face right now or else-
Debra: Kayla, that’s enough; we’ve been here for hours. She’s obviously not at home. Let’s go.
Kayla: No, I must see that witch’s face before I leave. She literally wrecked my life.
Debra: Violence is not the answer.
Kayla: Then what is?
Debra: I don’t know, Kayla, let’s just go. All this rage, it’s just not worth it.
Kayla: She just deserves to die.
Debra: What did she do to you, Kayla/
Kayla: (sits down on the pavement) Things a mother shouldn’t do to her child.
Debra: Is that why those girls call you names? Don’t tell me she- (Kayla nods) No! (sits beside her) Can’t we have her arrested?
Kayla: My sister. My sister would know.
Debra: How old is she?
Kayla: Ten.
Debra: Ten is old enough.
Kayla: No; No it’s not. She’s just a little girl.
Debra: Then we’ll be discreet about it.
Kayla: Arresting her won’t change anything. The damage is done, that’s it. I hate her.
Debra: (hugs her) For your sister, you must be strong. Infact, you can come stay at my place, so the rumours would die down.
Kayla: (stands up) I don’t care what they say. Their opinions won’t pay my bills. Alex has been so nice to me and I won’t just leave now; just like that, I’m no ingrate.
Debra: (smiles) You…like him?
Kayla: Debra, seriously? (walks towards her bike)
Debra: What? (follows her)

(Alex’s house)
(Knock on the door, Chioma goes to get it)
Nnenna: Chioma, my darling! (hugs her)
Chioma: (confused) What are you doing?
Nnenna: Honey, I came for you.
Chioma: How’d you find us?
Nnenna: Honey…aren’t you happy to see me?
Chioma: I am, but…
(Ms. Carla walks in)

Ms. Carla: Where’s Alex?
(Alex walks out with just a jean on)
Nnenna: (gasps) Are you in this apartment alone with my little girl?!
Alex: (frowns) I’m not like you, Ma’am.
Chioma: We were painting in the backyard.
Nnenna: Where’s Kayla? Let’s go home.
Ms. Carla: That’s right. Where’s Kayla and what’s she doing at your home?
Chioma: Kayla went to the studio.
Nnenna: Well then, let’s go home. She’ll come and meet us there.
Alex: You’re going nowhere with her.
Nnenna: She is my daughter.
Alex: She is here for a reason. Kayla doesn’t trust you with her.
Nnenna: I am her mother.
Alex: A bad one at that.
Chioma: What’s going on here?
Ms. Clara: Yes, what IS going on here?
Nnenna: (to Chioma) Go get your bags, we’re leaving. (Chioma leaves)
Alex: You’re not taking her.
Ms. Clara: It’s her daughter, Alex. What is with you?
(Kayla walks in)

(Kayla walks in)
Ms. Clara: Ah, she arrives.
Kayla: (to Nnenna) What are you doing here? (to Ms. Clara) And what the hell do you want here?
Nnenna: I came so we could go home
Kayla: Get out
Nnenna: Kayla…
Kayla: Do not make me lose my temper, Nnenna. I swear, it won’t be pretty.
Nnenna: She is my daughter, Kayla. You can’t deny me that right.
Kayla: (laughs) How does a jail cell sound to you? Hmn?
Nnenna: (visibly shaken) Kayla, please, I just want to be with my daughter.
Kayla: I don’t want to have to ask you to leave again.
Nnenna: Kayla-I’m sorry, please. I made a mistake, who doesn’t? I just wanted the best for you and your sister.
Kayla: When you’re done, you can leave. (enters her room)
Nnenna: Please take care of them for me.(she leaves)
Ms. Clara: I never knew she was as bad mannered with her mother as everyone else. How do you cope with her?
Alex: (sighs) Ms. Clara, I’m quite busy right now. Do you mind?
Ms. Clara: Alex, we need to talk.

(The studio)
(Lenora enters Luke’s office)
Lenora: Sir?
Luke: Lenora? I thought you girls already left
Lenora: Yes..it’s just that I had something to tell you that couldn’t wait.
Luke: Well….have a seat then. (she sits down) What is this thing that couldn’t wait?
Lenora: It’s about Kayla.
Luke: What about her?
Lenora: She’s….tainting the highly esteemed reputation of the MBGN
Luke: How do you mean?
Lenora: With all due respect Sir, she’s a prossstitute.
Luke: What are you saying, Lenora?!
Lenora: I have witnesses that can confirm this. I’m afraid if you let her contest, she’ll really destroy the reputation of this pageant.
Luke: Are you saying…she’s a lovepeddler?
Lenora: Put mildly, Yes sir.
Luke: (stands up and paces about) This better be no joke, Lenora.
Lenora: I know how serious this is, Sir. I won’t dare play games with this.
Luke: I want all your witnesses tomorrow.
Lenora: (smiles) Yes sir.

Rushes in with a can of fayrouz and popcorn, taps onemansquad to shift for me...
Ehm, skimpledawg, where you? Another one don ready oh

Hey MzNelly,

Thanks for the update.

Loving it

Nice work mznelly

(Alex’s house)

Alex: I’m listening.
Clara: Alex, why are you doing this? How can you disgrace me so? With…HER?
Alex: (looks around discreetly) Clara, not again with this madness; especially not right here. Please leave.
Clara: But…Alex, I love you.
Alex: Clara, this is ridiculous. Leave, right now.
Clara: Why are you with her? Is it because she’s younger than I am? I’m just 30; Kayla is an over pampered teenager.
Alex: Exactly; I’m 24, you’re 30. ‘Sides, Kayla will be 20 next month.
Clara: Do you plan on going serious with her?
Alex: Yes, Clara. I love her.
Clara: And…her prossstitution?
Alex: Kayla is no prostitute. She’s a woman of value, the woman of my dreams. The woman I LOVE; do you understand?
Clara: Alex…please! (tugs at his shirt) I’m not that old.
Alex: It’s not your age. You’re a beautiful and quite intelligent woman; I’m just not for you.
Clara: Alex, I’ve wasted 2 years of my life on you. You took my virgini-
Alex: That was a mistake. You drugged me, woman. You’re obsessed; get over it. Get over me.
Clara: I can’t. I just can’t. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll talk to Kayla, I’ll tell her everything.
Alex: Well, I have my side of the story; so go on. Do your worst. It will be a shame to find out that the big boss of the MBGN is shamelessly into a meager designer.
Clara: Alex- (reaches out to touch him)
Alex: Just go, please. Valuable time is wasting. You could find a man who truly cherishes you; because I will never love you, Clara.
Clara: You hurt me with your words.
Alex: I don’t mean to. I just think it’s better you know now that you’re not going anywhere with this.
Clara: (breaks down) But I Love you.
Alex: And I don’t.

(Louis’ house)

Ego: Goodbye Gbemi! (shuts the door; to Louis) Oh, such a good-natured girl. Did I tell you she got me an expensive jewellery box last week? You should marry her, you know.
Louis: Marriage? (sits on the sofa, exhausted) Mom, please.
Ego: No, no, no. You HAVE to marry her. She’s ten times better than that worthless Kayla. Don’t tell me you’re still into that prossstitue. You better show your appreciation to Gbemi. She’s spent so much on us.
Louis: (scoffs) So I should marry her because of that?
Ego: She is RICH! Stinking RICH, Louis! Isn’t that good enough reason? You know, you did the right thing when you kicked that Kayla out of here.
Louis: (stands up) I’m not so sure.
Ego: What do you mean you’re not so sure? Do you regret kicking her out? Don’t tell me you’re still in love with her?
Louis: Mom, you don’t just fall out of love with one person and in love with someone else the next.
Ego: Well, you can if she’s a slutt.
Louis: I’m not having this conversation. (turns to leave)
Ego: Do you want to die in poverty? Do you want me, your Mom to die in poverty?
Louis: Mom, not again with the emotional blackmail. I don’t plan on leaving Gbemi; at least, not anytime soon.
Ego: (smiles approvingly) I know it; I gave birth to a reasonable son.
Louis: Now, I have to go and see Bryan. He just came back from his trip.
Ego: (sighs) I don’t want him to get you into any trouble. I know he went to sell drug.s
Louis: Just relax, Mother.
Gbemi: You’ve hit jackpot, Louis. You no longer have to engage in dirty jobs to support that stvpid Kayla. (Louis leaves)
