My Ex Next Door

Novie's skin crawled as she watches the two people in front of her getting her clothes out of her cabinet, her body freeze, not sure whether to scream or not.

"Ahm..." she tried to get up but the person holding her luggage place a finger on the lips, asking her to not make a noise.

Novie swallowed.

"Are you trying to rob me?" she rustled, the two looked at her and waggled their head.

"No, we are here to kidnap you"

With those words, the two marched to her direction, Novie got up and took a step back, her eyes were wide open scared that she will miss her work tomorrow.

"Daniella, Peyton I have work tomorrow can you reschedule this and kidnap me on Friday?" she tried to leave but Peyton caught her body while Daniella fastened her wrist.

"Peyton, where's the cuff?" Daniella asked.

"In my bag" Peyton answered.

Novie flattened her face, all she wanted was to rest but it might be impossible with the two women in her room acting like a thug.

"What the hell is this Peyton?" Daniella complained when she saw the cuff that Peyton brought was a sex handcuff.

"Well, I thought we're here to meet my husband" Peyton shrugged a shoulder.

Daniella groaned and walks to Novie's direction, her face was stiff.

Novie shut her eyes after Daniella use the handcuff to clasp her wrist.

"Is this necessary?" Novie asked in a bored tone, she had never seen kidnappers using such tools to take their victim.

"No, but I want to make it more dramatic" Daniella responded in a teasing tone, then she took her instant film camera and pressed the power button.

Daniella occupied her right side while Peyton moved to her left, Daniella extended her arm and point the lens to their direction.

"Say Ken," they all said his name which made their lips form a smile, seconds later the photo was printed and Daniella took a tape from Novie's table and stick it in the mirror.

Novie sighed, "If you two are done, can I sleep now? I have work tomorrow" Novie yawned and sat on the bed.

Daniella shifted to her direction and put the lipstick she used to write in the mirror back to her bag.

"No Darling, you're not going to sleep. Since my half-ass brother doesn't want to apologize I will take his previous princess and find her a prince" Daniella responded, she plastered a smile on her face and read the note she left in the mirror.

Novie squeezed her eyes shut, thinking about why she needs to suffer to their family's feud.

"What do you mean prince?" Novie asked.

Peyton sat next to her and brushed her hair, "Honey, what she meant was, we are going to a place full of handsome men which will make you forget about her brother, and she's doing this to get her revenge" she whispered.

Novie let out a harsh breath, just like Ken, Daniella is also stubborn. She figures that if she protests, the two will probably put her body in the sack and throw her somewhere far.

"Fine, I am coming but can you remove this cuff? I m not comfortable and what about my work?" Novie asked, she started to get a headache with all the drama around, she just started her work and if she leaves without a proper excuse it will give her a bad record.

Daniella ticked her tongue, "Don't worry my dear sister-in-law, I already wrote one and left it in the Principal's desk" Daniella replied in a proud tone.

Then Daniella took her remaining clothes out from the cabinet and scattered them around the floor.

"What are you doing?" Novie took Daniella's hand, stopping her from making a mess, shock by her action.

"I spent hours folding my clothes" she complained and glared at her.

Daniella took her arm back and snorted, "I want Ken to think someone kidnap you"

Novie raised an eyebrow by her answer, "I think he will figure it out by the note you left in my mirror" she replied in sarcasm.

Daniella blows a sighed and looked around, "We need to leave now so I don't have time to fold it, don't worry I will message Matthew to clean your room" Daniella walks to the door while whistling.

(Wow! So she knows how to use the door) Novie blurted inside.

Peyton followed Daniella, when they noticed that she's not moving, the two looked back and stared at her.

"Let's go Novie, time to party" Daniella extended her hand, asking her to come closer.

"I hope I won't regret this" Novie murmured. They all left her room and walked downstairs, Novie creased her brows when she noticed the smoke in the living room.

"What happened here?" she asked in confusion.

The creased of her eyebrows went deeper when she saw the two covering their nose.

"Cover your nose, this smoke is not dangerous but if you inhale it, you will fall asleep" Daniella spoke beneath the handkerchief she used to cover her nose and mouth.

Novie quickly clothed her nose and the three hurried out of the house.

She took a deep breath and held her chest, out of breath.

"Do you really need to do this?" Novie asked with wide eyes, disbelief.

Daniella massages her shoulder and replied.

"Yes," she replied in an unbothered tone.

"You and Peyton can wait for me in the car, I need to say goodbye to my kids" Daniella spoke and ran towards Ander's house.

Novie turned to Peyton who had left her side, she followed her out of the gate and saw a car parking on the road.

"Peyton, do you know where we are going?" Novie asked as she seized Peyton's arm, holding her from getting in the car.

The woman swirled around and shrug a shoulder.

"Probably casino, she's working on something that requires beauty so she took us to be her little bunny" Novie was puzzled by her words, she had never been in the casino but she heard people who have money have a capability to get inside.

Novie gets in the backseat while Peyton sat on the passenger seat, they both waited until Daniella comes back.

After waiting for almost thirty minutes, Daniela came back, her eyes were red from crying while her clothes are crumpled.

"What happened to you?" Peyton asked after Daniella occupied the driver seat.

"Leo and Ethan didn't want to let me go" Daniella sniffed.

"Why are you crying?" Novie leaned forward and stared at Daniella's face.

"It was too emotional, my boys… they don't want me to leave" Daniella bursts crying and sank her face in the steering wheel.

Novie placed a hand on Daniella's shoulder and tapped it, because of Ken, Daniella sent her kids to help him get her back even though they don't need too.

"What about Alexa?" Novie asked when she remembered that Daniella only mentioned her sons.

"She doesn't care, but she wants us to bring her a cute boy"

Saying that Daniella started the car and they all left the place.

–

Next morning.

Ken stood in Novie's room with darkness shading his eyes, beside him was Brent and Matthew who had their head swinging in sympathy.

Matthew walked towards the mirror and took the picture of the three women.

"My dearest Half-Ass-Brother Ken Chu, I am taking your girlfriend as revenge for calling me a bastard"

"PS: I will bring Novie back after I found a suitable husband for her"

"xoxo… Your beautiful bastard sister"

Matthew read every word written in the mirror out loud, making Ken's rage to ignite.
