The results of the show were yet to be pronounced and Aires couldn’t stay among the crowd to wait. He suggested to Elsie that they went to the rooms that the hotel had prepared for them to rest and wait for the results. Elsie looked around and realized that most of the crowd had went out as well. And so she agreed and they went out, in the hallway, Elsie saw Oswald enter a room leaving Tess out. She sighed and said to Aires,Wait in there for me, I will be back.Aires nodded and looked in the way she was turning to go and saw Tess by a door. He thought and said to Elsie,I can accompany you where you are going.Elsie wondered the reason behind the change of his mind and looked in the way he was looking as well and said to him,Don’t let your imagination run wild. Please wait for me in there.Aires nodded and finally agreed and thought to himself,She can take care of this alone, I don’t need to bother her.Elsie walked towards Tess with her arms folded on her chest. Tess saw her walki
Oswald concentrated on the menu and sneered. Because Elsie was looking in the menu, she heard him tell her,For finding you and taking you to the restaurant, I believe that I had saved your life. Considering that, you were starving to death. So, I would want you to treat me to a meal, just for showing your gratitude.Elsie looked up at him from the menu with a confused expression on her face. He raised his eyebrows questioning her stunned look and she looked away and thought,This is ridiculous, am I seeing Oswald right now? Where did the unemotional, uncaring man go to? I can’t believe he just asked me to pay for his meal. Oswald wasn’t like this before, what happened to him? If we were close, I would have asked him. It’s a pity.Elsie sighed and nodded her head and then answered to him,If you say so, by the way, are you short on money that you can’t pay for your meal?She shook her head and answered herself,No, it can’t be, how much is a meal? You could afford the whole restaurant
Elsie took her time while walking thinking that Oswald would pass her by. But he didn’t, it was like they were almost walking together, suddenly, Elsie’s phone rung and she saw it was Aires, she turned her head slightly and answered the phone speaking,Aires.Where are you now? I am back in the room.Elsie sighed and responded to him,I will be there in a few seconds; I was in the restaurant.She quickened her pace and Oswald stopped when he heard her words. He turned and walked to the room where Rod was. He saw him by his computer and he asked him,Is the engagement place settled? Is it decided?Rod shook his head and answered to him,Miss Tess was unhappy that you couldn’t check with her and decided to check it tomorrow as she wasn’t in the right mood now.Oswald nodded his head and asked him again,What about Hubery, have you found that he has done anything? He had threatened me and I didn’t think that he would lay still without doing anything.Rod nodded his head and answered to h
Tess felt that she had been trampled by an tractor, she felt lifeless that Elsie had managed to fool her and put fear in her. She felt angry and wanted to let it out and so she shouted,How dare you? Who do you think that you are? I will make sure you suffer you bi…!!!!Her words stuck in her throat as she saw Oswald coming in her way, Oswald had heard her from afar and asked her worriedly,What’s wrong? What happened?Tess wrinkled her face and suddenly, a smile and calm expression appeared on her face. she sighed once again before saying to him,It’s okay, it’s nothing. I am very much okay.Oswald still stared at her with worry in his eyes, he had never seen Tess in that manner. To think that he didn’t see anyone she was mad at when he came worried him. Tess saw that he was worried about her and decided to take the chance and speak to him,Oswald, why don’t you change your room? It’s so far from mine. I wanted us to be closer.Oswald shook his head and replied to her,I don’t think
Oswald entered his room looking down spirited and confused. He brought out his phone and dialled Rod’s number. He answered on the second ring and asked him,Sir, why are you calling?Oswald didn’t hesitate and asked himTell me, what did you find about Rod. Is there any odd information about him?Rod heard his words and thought,Why does he want to hear odd news about him? Oswald is truly jealous and insecure about this guy. Something that I am seeing for the first time.Rod sighed and answered to him,He is an orphan that the Alfred’s helped. They put him into school and somehow, he has gotten to where he is.Oswald shook his head and asked him,That is all there is to it? why do I feel like there’s more? That young man isn’t that normal as everyone sees it. You must continue investigating him and if there’s anything, report to me.Yes, Sir. I will. But sir, you didn’t ask if I had taken Miss Tess home safely. Rod and answered and said to Oswald.Oswald suddenly found it irritating a
She drove to hotel with a smile on her face, she alighted from the car and hopped as she entered the building with her hand bag. The people that saw her wondered what made her that happy but no one could hear her thoughts and so, they could only mind their own business. Tess walked towards Oswald’s hotel room with an obvious smile and thought to herself,I will make sure he forgets yesterday and make the day wonderful as we walk our wedding room together.She arrived at the door and raised her hand to knock on the door but she stopped and adjusted her hair and cloths and then she cleared her throat and knocked on it. Tess, waited to hear,Come inBut nothing like that came in but silence responded to her. She shook her head and knocked once again and when she didn’t hear anything response again. She started banging on the door. The people in the corridor wondered what her problem was but she wasn’t bothered.Elsie was still in her room and hadn’t left yet, she had heard the first knoc
Elsie looked on her phone waiting for the reply of Oswald, somehow, she felt anxious about this and started biting her finger nails. Her eyes kept darting from the phone and back to the window as she sat on the bed. Suddenly, she heard her ding with a message, in a second, it was in her palm and she was reading it. she saw it was from her bank and she had received the exact amount she had sent to Oswald.She looked at the phone and back at the window again before texting to him,I received this as a gift. And so I don’t think it’s necessary for you compensate me.The message went through all right but no answer came in no matter how long she waited. She sighed and got ready and left for her workplace as well. Elsie was typing on her laptop when she saw an alert on the task bar, she wondered who had sent her a mail which wasn’t from any of the company’s address and yet got through to her.Out of curiosity, she stopped what she was doing and opened the mail. At first sight, she saw it w
A completed hotel was situated in the east side of the city. Oswald was standing in front of the hotel with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. As if remembering something, he looked in the way of Rod who was beside him and said to him,Invite Elsie here, tell her to be here in an hour as we can’t spend too much time here.Rod watched him with confusion on his face, Oswald saw this and explained to him,I want her to be part of this project. I think she has good judgement and can help us in acquiring and making this place great.Rod didn’t understand the reason his boss would explain himself to him, and so he thought,Why do I feel this isn’t the only reason? Why else would he explain himself to me? He wouldn’t do that before no matter how much I misunderstood him.He nodded his head and called Elsie’s office and relayed the message. He told Oswald that he had done as instructed and he nodded and said well done to him, to Rod’s surprise.Elsie didn’t know Oswald would engage her so early
While the love birds were chatting in the car as they drove, the police car was chasing after a land cruiser. The posh car was driving at top most speed as the car could take it as the police car chased after it. the cars went in circles through the city and the people wondered what was happening. Alternatively, a salon car was also being chased by another police car from the airport to the city, some people took their phones and videoed the chase while others just watched on.Two more posh cars joined the chase making the situation difficult to understand. One of the cars was being chased from the city one other from the airport and the two other posh cars were chasing after the one being chased from the city. The two cars that were being chased stopped at the same time and an older man got out his car with his hands in the air as he shouted,Let my family go, they have nothing to do with anything. I committed all the crimes. They had no hand in anything, the salon car attempted to m
He walked into the dark room, the only source of light was a bulb that was lit and shown a particular point in the room. And that was on the head of a man, he was a middle aged man and he was in prison clothes. The old but gentleman dressed in suit took lazy steps towards the man tied on the chair. He had a frown on his face but it was like the person that was tied in front of him did not matter to like the sand that he was stepping on.He stopped in front of the man and held his chin, the man groaned slightly and the old man smirked. The middle aged man didn’t look up at the man even though he was in pain and that seemed to have irritated the old man. He hissed and forced his head up shouting at him,“Darren Norman, are you sure that at this juncture, you still want to keep your dignity? You were just a dog that I wanted to use to get what I wanted, now that you couldn’t, do you still think that you are of importance to me?”Darren winced as he tried to open his eyes, when he could a
Elsie expected the gate to open but didn’t. Confused, she tried over and over again, she pressed on the remote several times in frustration and shouted,God damn it, don’t tell me that I chose the wrong remote.She looked back and the guard was a few steps away. When she felt that mission failed she heard a loud bang. The guard stopped and removed his gun in a swift, but then the gate started opened in a slow pace. At first she was shocked and had frozen in place until she heard footsteps behind her, she rushed out and saw a taxi parked right in front of her.Just as she was about to climb into the car, she heard him call her,Elsie, where are you going without me?She looked back at him and a tiny smile appeared on her face. She sat in the car and the car didn’t move, she remembered that she hadn’t told the driver to wait for anyone. And so, Elsie asked,I don’t remember telling you to wait for him, why are you still here?Oswald entered the car and answered her question,It’s becaus
Are you going to take them back?He asked again trying to get the answer undiluted. Asking the second time seemed to have irritated Oswald as, he glared at him and said to him,You seem to forget your place sometimes, I told you to separate personal relationship from work relationship. If you don’t stay in your lane, you will end up getting fired.Rod sneered and asked,And if I end up getting fired, will we still meet up and drink our asses off? After all your best friend had lost his job.You know that I am a busy person, and so, I wouldn’t have found the time. Oswald retorted looking directly on the laptop.Rod smiled and responded to him,You would really find the time as you have signed off everything that you own to Miss Elsie, what will you be doing but drinking in day light?Oswald snorted and looked at his watch then he said to Rod, I will be done looking through this in a few minutes and I will be going that old man for my wife.Rod smiled and said as if speaking to himself,
Elsie felt that he was being too rude and so, he slapped his hand shyly and glared at him. The old man stood up and said to her,Let me get out of here before you butcher me for talking to him.Elsie quickly stood up and quickly took her phone and then rushed out of the place. Mr. Alfred watched her leave silently and shook his head, when she wasn’t in sight, he said to him on the other end of the line,She’s gone, you can speak now.He heard a long sigh on the other end before he spoke,I know you are worried about Elsie, I know she has got some feelings for me and she isn’t alone. I treated her badly because I was looking elsewhere but when I finally looked at her, I knew that I didn’t want to lose her. If there’s something to say to her, let me be the one to say it.Mr. Alfred removed the phone from his ear and looked at, he shook his head and said to Oswald,Do not think that I will be fooled by your slow words. You ae saying if there’s something to be said, you will be the one to
Elsie woke up the next with a bright smile on her face. she stretched her body and felt pretty tired, she looked at the door way of the washroom and sighed begrudged. She shook her head and said to herself, I wonder if I would allow someone to wash me up if I had help. Since I won’t, I will have to help myself. A few minutes later, she heard a knock on her door and she heard someone say behind the door, Sir said, you can rest for the day. He wants you down in five minutes for dinner. Your phone is with him and he would be answering all your calls. Answer my calls? Elsie thought, she shrugged and was about to lay her head down once again when she thought, If he is going to answer my calls, does that mean all my calls? Including that of Oswald’s? She shook her head and rushed into the washroom, in five minutes she was out and running down the stairs. The old man was already seated at the table when she arrived, in front of him and beside his coffee cup plate were three phones. She
Dwight along with Hulda and Oswald sat at the dining table the next day, everyone ate in silence until Dwight spoke, “Bro, I never knew that you would do something like this in the name of love. When did you fall head over heels for Elsie?” “It’s sister in law for you. I don’t know when I fell for her but I know that I can’t live without her.” Hulda glared at Oswald, she snorted and with a little anger in her eyes, “You love her so much that you were ready to sacrifice your life for her. Did you forget the rest of us? Do we mean nothing to you? Your father left me just like that and you intended to abandon us too?” Oswald shook his head silently and answered, “Mrs. Crofts, I believe we don’t have that relationship, when you gave all your heart to your husband and forgot that you had children, none of us complained. I didn’t want to bring up this topic, I am sorry if you get hurt by my words. Now, I understand what it feels like to make someone your world and later get the feelin
It was already dawn when they arrived at the house, Sid and Aires along with Anna came along with them. Elsie saw her and hugged her saying, I’m so proud of you for handling everything for me. I couldn’t have done this without your help. Sid pouted and complained, It’s not like she was the only one who kept the company in pace since you were gone. How long were you gone anyways? Elsie nodded and was about to embrace them together but Aires stepped away and said, I don’t need a hug from you, I can’t believe that you did that by yourself. I had different mindsets about what could really happen to you but look at you. It seems you didn’t care about us at all, all you think about is Oswald. Now that you are back, what are you going to do? Elsie laughed out and patted him on his shoulder saying, I don’t remember the last time you spoke so many words aside from singing. You must have really be agitated, I know you must have been worried but look at me, I returned hearty and healthy.
Several men are brought out of the house, some on trailers and others held by the waist, some carried in the arms and some covered with cloths to their heads. Elsie’s happy expression turned sour and she glared at the man who looked on with an unbothered expression. The soldiers turned to take them all away but then Elsie felt angry at what the man had done. She sneered and shouted, Don’t take him away, let him see how I end his wickedness by burning all that he had earned for being this wicked. Watch on you old maggot as I turn everything including your mansion into ashes. The man gnashed his teeth and attempted to escape from the soldiers hold but he swept him off the floor with his leg and he landed straight to the ground on his face. Elsie laughed out and walked closer to him, Oswald tried to stop her but she didn’t even take a look back. When she got to him, she bent on one knee and held his head with a wicked expression on her face, she questioned, What? Did you think you wer
