JERICHO’S WEAKNESS Episode 2
(Miss Perfect👠)

Prologue✍️

By: Faith Lucky

Valerie walked out of the bathroom after taking her lemonade bath.

She was putting on a white shower dress and had her hair all rolled up with a towel. With that, she looked just like a model.

Sally – her closest friend since childhood – was lying on the bed, surfing the net with her phone and quietly, Valerie went to sit in front of her make up table.

“Do you prefer a gold anklet to a silver anklet? I’m thinking of what to wear for my party, Sally” Valerie asked as she worked on her face, scrubbing it off with a cotton wool soaked with some drops of cleanser.

“I think silver should be okay” Sally shrugged, her eyes fixed on her device.

“Do you think I should invite Ivy for my party?” She suddenly turned away from the mirror and asked, a scrawl on her face.

“I…. don’t know. Depends on you, bae” Sally shrugged again and Valerie scoffed and turned back to the mirror.

“That girl is such a b’tch, you know? You wouldn’t believe the text she sent to me while I was in LA. Well, guess what? I think I’m gonna invite her to my party. So, she can see she can never be up to my standard”. She snorted, but Sally didn’t say a word

She stared at her from the mirror and discovered her attention was do fixed on her phone. What was she doing anyway?

“Have you heard of the B-Boys?” She suddenly looked up at her and asked, her face beaming with smiles.

“B-Boys?” Valerie cringed. “What the hell is that?”

“Oh! Valerie, the Billionaire boys. Don’t tell me you’ve got no idea. They’re currently the three hottest billionaires in DC – charming, handsome, daring… they’re just like greek gods, Val! Damn it! They could melt your heart”.

“So, how come I’ve never heard of them?” Valerie asked and rolled her eyes sarcastically.

“Well, that’s probably because you’ve been away for four months.
“They arrived here in DC about four months ago, but they’ve already made a fortune – got houses all over, cars, firms, resorts….I seriously don’t know how they do it, but they’re freaking hot!” Sally enthused.

“Geez! Their wealth should be questioned and investigated. They might be making their money through illegal means. They need to be arrested” Valerie huffed as she dropped the old wool and pulled out another.

She soaked it with an entirely different substance and continued working it round her face.

“Goodness! Are you kidding me?” Sally shook her head.
“Well, to be frank, their wealth needs to be investigated. But somehow, the authorities are unable to question them. Only a few people know them, tho and I’m lucky to be among the few” .

“Indeed” Valerie rolled her eyes like it all sounded absurd to her.

“Maybe, you need to see a picture of them after all. I’m pretty sure you’ll be more convinced”.

“I’m not interested, Sally. You can…” But Sally had already left the bed in excitement with her phone.

The picture of one of them was already on her screen and she presented it to Valerie as soon as she got to her table.

“That’s Claus” she giggled as Valerie stared at it, wearing a repulsive look.

Sally slided to the next page: “That is Ethan.

“And the last is….”

“Enough, Sally. I don’t need this” Valerie shoved her hand away just before she slided to the last page.

“Goodness! Val, you’re such a killjoy” she grunted.

“POC, Miss, I actually have a boyfriend”. Valerie pointed her finger at her

“Well, having a boyfriend doesn’t mean you shouldn’t admire other guys. Especially guys that are more handsome than him” Sally rolled her eyes as she returned to the bed.

“Are you drunk? No guy can be as cute as Lincoln, Sally. You know that”.

“Oh! Please, didn’t you see the B-Boys? They’re…”

A call from Valerie’s phone came disrupting the moment.

She looked, it was her Baker.

“Ma’am Carly” she smiled, her hand paused on her cheek with the wet wool.

“Yes.

“Oh! For f**k sake, are we still on the cake topic?” She was a bit angry.

“I told you, ma’am Carly. I want a rainbow color! Yes! And a little touch of gold.

“There had better been no mistake cause I know what I’m paying for. I’m paying you 5,000…

“You don’t interrupt me when I’m talking, Mrs Carly! I’m paying you over 5,000 dollars for this. So, if they’re any mistakes, you can be sure it’s not gonna be funny. I’ll make sure mine would be the last cake you ever bake, cause you’ll be cooling your @ss off in jail.

“Yes. Good!”

And she dropped the call, slamming the phone on the table and rubbing her forehead.

“Gosh! Valerie, you need to quit this attitude of yours and learn to be more calm” Sally sighed.

“Of course, I am calm. People are just the ones making me so angry. Well, even if I’m not calm, I don’t think I care” she rolled her eyes and continued with the wool.

Sally knew it was pointless talking to her about it. So, she just let it slide.

Valerie finished with the wool and took up her face spray. She sprayed the sweet fragrance round her face and felt so refreshed when she was done.

“Can anyone ever have a face as pretty as this?” She thought as she stared at herself in the mirror, smiles clouding her.

“How about we go some clubbing later in the night?” Sally asked and Valerie found it interesting – really interesting.

“Hmm. Sounds great” she nodded repeatedly and winked at her.

Just then, there was a knock on her door.

“Who’s it??” She batted her lashes, sounding like she was being disturbed.
She felt it was one of the maids.

But the door opened instantly and it turned out to be…..

Hahhhh!!!!

“Oh my geee!!!!” Valerie sprang from her chair and ran to the door with a mighty force.

“Lincoln!!” She screamed as she jumped on the young handsome guy who was already awaiting her hug.

He laughed and lifted her up, making sure her feet didn’t touch the floor.

“Yeah,my baby’s back!” He twirled her around, and she laughed on his shoulders.

He pulled her down and rounded it up with a snogging kiss.

“Oh! Baby, I’m so sorry, I’m just coming. I had about five commercials to do and….”

“Oh! Please, it’s okay. The most important thing is – you’re here already. I’ve missed you!” She squealed happily and hugged him again.

“I’ve missed you too, love” he ate into the hollows of her neck and she laughed and pulled away from him.

“So, how was the trip? Hope you’re done with your degree?” He asked.

“Of course! Of course. It was excellent, darling. Finally, I’m a graduate at such young age” she blushed to herself.
Oh! Valerie could never stop being so proud of herself.

“Awwn. I’m proud of you, baby! Here, I got something for you” Lincoln paused and dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out a tiny box.
He opened it in front of her and her eyes beamed when they met with the gold bracelet. It was pure gold!!

“Oh my gee! I love this so much!! I love this’!” Her whole body vibrated with excitement.
One thing she’s missed about her boyfriend.

Lincoln smiled and wore it round her wrist.

“It looks so good on you, bae” he complinted.

“Yeah. And all thanks to you. Come on. We have a lot of catching up today” she held his hand and led him into the room .
