He lifted her bedspread and chuckled as he sighted her.Bella pushed him away from her with her leg.Every time he gets drunk, he becomes a demon.“Come to me, I have been waiting for you” he confessed.“I warned you not to drink, didn't I?” Bella yelled as she struggles to run away from him.“You know it makes me happy, don't you?” It was tough to get outside, but she managed to escape. It has become a daily routine since he could not quit drinking. She was unable to take it anymore but leaving her father would be more sad. Besides, it is not his fault he got addicted to drinking. It was because he was betrayed by a friend who sold his company.This habit of drinking is only a sign of depression that may look like a relief to the victim.Bella had tried many times to make him believe that there was actually hope for him, but it was just as if she had been speaking to a dummy.Nothing was more painful than watching her father die slowly. She could not help it anymore.Getting her fa
Joe followed Vanessa into the changing room. He released a groan from his mouth as he had already pictured himself in the clowns uniform and found it to be insulting. “It would never suit me” he commented.It took a while for Joe to change into a clown's costume. By the time he was done, the kids had already arrived and were preparing to begin the games soon.He eventually concluded that the clowns uniform can be a source of promotion for the company, as the children admire this. It was thirty minutes before time, yet the whole place was occupied with a massive number people who took the seats of the spectators.Joe was already contemptible of the large number of people he saw. There was no doubt that this exercise was going to promote his company's name. Mr. Julius, on the other hand, was equally excited.In thirty minutes time the host, who happens to be Georgia, began welcoming people in. Vanessa went about ensuring that everyone and everything was in place.Well, they were exce
We need to end this right now” Joe suggested to Vanessa.“No, Peter, I mean sir. Can't you see it's really fun for the people?” Vanessa insisted.Joe took a deep breath and decided to proceed with Vanessa's idea.He asked her out so he could change.It was a good thing the people were on break. It would allow him some time to get himself together, since he had already been in a hot temper.The children were catching fun all around. Everything that happened earlier did not seem to spoil their mood. It was only part of the show to everyone. No one talked about it anymore.The only reason Joe wishes to end the show was because of Bella's presence in the place.He knew it would bring distractions for him if she stayed. It wouldn't have been a problem if she was alone because he was obsessed with her. Seeing her with Eric only kindled this obsession in him.He knew he would be shy if he dares come out, so he decided to give an excuse to escape that.He plans to leave were however shattered
Vanessa stood and watched them the whole time. The book she held fell off her hands. She used her finger to wedge off tears from her eyes. She never thought Peter would love anyone else but her. So sad how he has moved on and forgotten completely about her.Vanessa was not ready to take this, something needed to be done. She must appear in Peter's life again regardless of what. The fact that her father had to plot to take over the company and was caught does not make it her fault that she would have to bear the pain alongside.“I must get her lover back at all cost” Vanessa determined to herself.***Joe had completely lost his attention to the children's presentation. Bella and Eric were no longer around the area. His mind thought of her all through the present children's presentation.He suspected that Eric was only using Bella based on her weakness, but what he cannot seem to figure out was what Eric's plan was?“Well, whatever Eric's plan was? It sure wasn't a good one” Joe th
“Bella Chase” he called her name and waited for a reply."Yes, manager" she replied as he intended.“You are fired!” The former said to her.“Fired?” Bella repeated.“Yes. That is right” he replied to her.“What have I done, sir?” Bella questioned as her mood changed to that of a sad, innocent girl.“I am sorry Bella, but it was not my will but that of the owner of the restaurant says he does not want you working here any longer” the manager spoke.“What is his complaint?” Bella questioned with her feet stamping the floor. She was in tears and did not know what to do?“He did not give a specific complaint, he just kept grumbling, mentioning your name.“That to trickster. I knew he would never change”“By the way, how do know the boss?” The manager asked with great concern.Bella ignored the question and left the restaurant. She was boiling with rage. She could not wait to hear the actual reason why Peter had made up his mind to terminate her employment.Bella got into a taxi and heade
“Truth?” Joe asked with great concern written on his face.Eric laughed out loud and stamped his hands on Joe's table. “You think you are playing the game, but you are the one fooled. It would have been better you gave up when you had the chance” Eric mentioned before leaving the room.“Hey!” Joe yelled and ran after him.Workers had their eyes on Joe. Why was he in chase of Eric? Was the question on their minds.Joe was on high speed to catch Eric, who had gone far. He happened to slide and fell off his chair. It was quite hard for him to get up from the floor because he hadn't added weight and besides, the wheelchair was not in a position to assist him. Workers had to assist him on his chair. It was then that Emily sighted him from afar and ran to his aid.“What happened?” Emily asked him.He gave her a frown and did not reply to her.“Where did Eric go?” He managed to question after a moment of silence.“He just left sir” Holland replied.“Left to where?” “As in left the office
Joe waited for Emily in the waiting room. She had been given a first aid treatment before taken to the hospital, for The doctor came out shortly with Emily. He posed that her injury was just a mere pain and that she would recover shortly, precisely a few days later.Joe was pleased to hear the information. He did not know what he would do if he heard his sister had lost an arm.Now that he knew who the attackers were, he might just know how to tackle them.***“You said that freak was coming?” Lucy reminded Eric of his statement.“Yeah! I saw him behind me. It seems w boy has escaped once more," Eric commented.“I hate you to hear that. Why must we wait for him? Can't we just strike first?” Lucy suggested.“No! To strike first would only stir up investigations. “We have to make a sneaky move about attacking” Eric replied.“So we wait?” Lucy asked.“No, we plan” he answered. “How about grandma?” He changed the topic.“I have given her the pills” “Good, we should be hoping for a funer
It was already the appointed time for the party. Workers of Joe's company were already gathered in the backyard of Mr. Julius' house. He had chosen that the party be done in his house to ease the stress of him moving too far.Joe was ready to do anything to gain Mr. Julius' trust, and this was what, workers could not give a reason why?Mr. Julius's friends and workers were also present at the party. The arena was beautifully decorated with flowers, lights, and balloons.It was as though the decorations were made for a baby.Varieties of foods and drinks were displaced on the buffet while people drew near to take food.Entertainments were being displayed freely and music filled the air.Mr. Julius was happy to see that Peter fulfilled his desires. He made him sit beside him during the party.They discussed work, since that was all they ever talked about.Mr. Julius made sure to introduce his wife and child to Joe. It was a good start to friendship, being familiar with one another's en
