By the time Aliyah arrived at the mansion, she stepped out of the car and was greeted with the sight of Cecile watering the flowers in the garden—her brow creased cause Cecile didn't seem like the type to want to work around the house, looking up Aliyah saw Mr. Vawn standing by the balcony and staring down—she smiled at him with a nod of acknowledgment and he smiled back also before she walked over to where Cecile was.

"Didn't think you were the type to volunteer to do house chores," Aliyah muttered and was welcomed with a sharp glare directed at her.

"Why are you here today? Again?" Cecile asked, her face twisted into a frown.

"Your cooking lessons start today, and that's why I'm here. Depending on how eager you are to learn, we could get on with this as quickly as we can and have nothing to do with one another. So when you are done with watering the fl—" Before Aliyah could complete her sentence, Cecile interrupted her with a scowl.

    After hours of lecturing and nagging with Cecile on things to do and things to not do while cooking, Aliyah finally left. She spent up to four hours at Mr. Vawn's place but was unable to see him throughout the time there—the butler had informed her that the Old master was busy and wouldn't be able to meet her till she cokes the next day.She couldn't wait to get home and narrate the whole thing Aliyah released a breath and closed her eyes as the car drove down the busy street, she was able to teach Cecile up to three meals along with how to boil eggs which they had a problem with at first. Cecile wasn't interested when they just started, but she ended up getting the hang of things and seeming more excited about everything they did. Aliyah wasn't expecting that excited gleam in Cecile's eyes—but seeing it made her want to teach the young lass more—hopeful, that the remaining days she had with Cecile would be as therapeutic as the first.Cecile's demeanor became more lax as they

    Her heart dropped as he said those words she tried to consider all she had done that would have led to this, and although she was unsettled she was even more eager for Ben to pick up the phone and then he finally did.His brows creased into a frown and Aliyah's skin crawled with fear as his eyes flicked back at her in obvious disdain. "I've decided that rather than making Aliyah come around every day, Cecile would come over instead and stay there for a while."Ben's brows creased into a frown, he had not been okay about leaving Aliyah around his Grandfather and sister, but now his sister, whom he wants on the best of terms with, was coming over to stay here, they would butt heads day in and day out. and as much as he could handle things he didn't like the hassle it would cause. he immediately opened up."I'm not sure she'd want that and I don't think that's a good idea," Ben stated in disapproval—growing furious at something Aliyah knew nothing of but was curious about."Well, she a

    She heard what he said loud and clear but it took a second for Aliyah to process what she just heard and the ramifications of it. "What?" She blurted out in disbelief "Y-Y-You are joking right?" Aliyah immediately uttered, with a stammer, before she could stop herself. She didn't know him to mess around yet she asked.She searched for any glint of joke in his eyes but she saw nothing that indicated that. "I'm dead serious," Ben said and with one straight look into his brownish eyes, Aliyah saw the heavy seriousness in his eyes."Why do I have to do that? For what reason do I have to do that" She muttered again, visibly not comfortable with what he had said. It sounded strange and suspicious that he would say that.There was a brief silence before he opened up to speak."In case you've forgotten," Ben paused, he glanced upstairs before staring back at Aliyah, " Cecile is here and I don't want her sniffing around and thinking we are just pretending to be a—" he paused "A couple," he

    *****Chloe walked graciously through the hallway heading for her room, she halted abruptly when she caught sight of someone sitting on the couch, a young, refined-looking man who was too focused on his phone to look back at her."I didn't know you'd be coming back this early today," she stated as she stepped into the living room.The young man raised his head from his phone to the direction where the voice came from. A subtle smile graced his lips, accentuating his well-defined jawline. His hair color, similar to Chloe's honey blonde was brushed neatly falling by the sides. "Yeah, I wrapped off my work early and I decided to take the rest of the day off," Simon muttered as he slipped his phone into the pocket of his pants."Are you not being carefree and unserious with your work?" Chloe crossed her arms across her chest as she heard his question."Who's gonna say anything, the company is still afloat only because Dad helped them, so I can do whatever I want," She kept walking until s

    Aliyah felt like she was in the middle of a cold war. Both their auras were blazing in her direction as she sat helplessly amidst them. Three days since after Cecile came over the air had never been the same—not like it was better before but now it became worse. Eating in the dining room felt like a punishment, Cecile does nothing around the house and is mostly either in her room watching a movie or she's in the living room, using her phone.Aliyah had never seen her step out of the house or go into the garden, so she presumed that Cecile just liked staying in the comfort of the house and not stepping out at all.The unsettling silence that was continually interrupted by dancing utensils, disturbed Aliyah.Nobody was saying anything, she usually didn't have to sit with Ben, but to keep up the charade, she was left with no choice but to partake in this hell, every single day."After we are done eating we can start the lessons," Aliyah said with a faint smile but she was met with a

    The tranquil silence in the room was suddenly interrupted when a scream was heard from outside. Aliyah's eyes were jolted wide open and she was about to dash out to go check what was happening but Ben got up before her. He reached for the door handle and stormed out in a flash like his life depended on it, the swiftness with which he dashed off the bed and out the door made Aliyah even more terrified than the scream, as she stood up.He seemed to know exactly where the scream came from, Aliyah also recognized the high-pitched voice and from the direction Ben went she surmised that it was Cecile's voice."What in the world is going on?" she muttered to herself, her voice heavy from exhaustion.Although she felt heavily sleepy and her eyes were still groggy, she dragged herself out of the comfort of her bed and followed behind him—wondering what on earth had caused this abrupt and scathing interruption of her sleep. By the time she reached the corridor, Ben wasn't there anymore

    Without saying anything else, Aliyah strode to the kitchen where Viola was busy preparing breakfast already, as soon as she noticed Aliyah's presence, her lips pulled into a smile, "You are up later than usual today, are you okay?" Viola inquired. Aliyah nodded, "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for asking," Aliyah said, omitting the part where she couldn't sleep after Cecile's panic incident from late last night."I didn't think you'd be coming today, I trust you enjoyed your much-needed leave.""Yeah, I did" Aliyah slowly nodded with a smile. Viola nodded in acknowledgment before she suddenly turned around, her hand resting on the island as she asked, "By the way, I saw a young lady outside when I stepped in. Who is she?"Since she was asking, that meant she had never seen Cecile before. For Viola not to know her, meant Cecile hadn't been to this house in a long time. Aliyah opened the closet and brought out the crates of eggs while answering, "Oh, that's Cecile. She'll be staying wit

    Ben's car came to a slow stop when he arrived at a bar, with a slight tuck he pulled off his tie, feeling suffocated. His fingers brushed across the button of his white long-sleeved shirt and he tapped off two buttons before stepping out and closing the door shut. His eyes flickered around the surroundings for the briefest moment before he tucked his hand into his pocket and walked into the high-end bar which was bustling with music to the ears. As soon as he stepped in and his presence was noticed, everyone stepped away for him as he made his way into the bar. A young lady bumped into him mistakenly—his first instinct push her aside but rather, he stepped back and a deep frown marred his face. Immediately she noticed what she had done, she stared wide-eyed at him and apologized. "I'm so sorry, so sorry. It was a mistake," she muttered, while staggering, probably from drinking too much alcohol, she seemed disheveled and her eyes were puffy from crying. Ben nodded, "Move." Sh

    Chloe stepped into her room and went on a frantic search for her phone. Her father barely threatened her but she was sure that whenever he did, it wasn't a joke—this annoyed her to the core. She picked up her phone, intending to make a call, and scrolling through the call log, she dialed a number."Hello, Clarice," she spoke abruptly. "Hey, Chloe it's been a while. How are you? you don't sound so good." Clarice detected immediately that the unease in Chloe's voice was clear."Is everything okay with you?" She asked with great concern.She drew in her breath to recall herself before she spoke. "I'm fine, umm...remember the last time we had a reunion and you invited Aliyah?" Chloe went straight to the point.Clarice was puzzled by the direction their discussion was going since Chloe never tried to hide her contempt for Aliyah. Hearing her start with something that concerned her was off-putting."Y-Yeah I do" she stammered, her lips curling to one side as she waited for her friend's

    Dave Thompson sat down in the living room of his opulent house, looking disturbed and worried as he angrily slammed his phone on the table—he was heavily disoelws3d from the news he just heard. Mark was just not anyone to their organization, he had a lot of resources and was like a brother to him, so the news reaching him about the death of his friend shook him to the core, but what disturbed him more was how Mark was killed and tossed in the street close to one of their underground business headquarter—he was certain that whoever killed Michael was not just powerful but daring and he was after something that without a doubt had something to do with him as well. He cursed under his breath before standing up, pacing around, and thinking deeply about something—he would have to get Akiyah out of Ben's territory sooner and not later, cause there was so much time. If he wasn't careful, the next death would be his and maybe it would be more cruel compared to what his friend suffe

    Ben held a blank look at her before he shut the door, and the last thing she saw was his lips slowly pulling into a smirk. She zapped out of the room like a scaredy cat, his eyes trailed to the item that was placed stop his table, a small parcel that was no bigger than a brick.His eyes flicked as a thought seemed to extinguish in his mind. he turned his back to carry on with what he was doing.What was that about? She wondered if she could still feel his breath on her skin even though she was away from him already.Aliyah cursed him in a low voice before heading down the stairs. Cecile was nowhere to be found and Aliyah assumed she was already getting ready in her room, so she went straight to the kitchen.She still couldn't find Viola, so she decided to just start preparing the dish, she wanted to do it alone without assistance, so this was fine. Just as Aliyah brought out the ingredients she needed, she stepped over to the refrigerator and opened it, bringing out some vegetable

    Cecile might have tried to hide it but getting a compliment from Ben pleased her.She was a little girl at the end of the day and even though she was so against her brother she still sought validation from him, to be seen and to be heard.Viola and Aliyah observed as she came by to drop the plates that had been lined in the room for a while."You are lucky Master Ben didn't get angrier than that, that was a crazy stunt you tried to pull. how could you do that?" Viola stated Aliyah rolled her eyes at the endless nagging she was receiving from her makeshift older sister."Don't worry about it, I was just about tired of his attitude that was why I did that, okay?" Viola only pursed her lips.She took a long probing gaze at Aliyah's and then suddenly relented since she seemed to be getting nowhere with the scolding.With all that had happened and how Ben had reacted to the whole thing it all made Aliyah wonder if he was trying to seem softer to his sister, if that wasn't the case there wa

    A black Mercedes drove into a dark alleyway across the street, a narrow way in between long buildings, and after a while, it came to a slow stop. Chris stepped out of the car, and brushed his hair to the back, with closed eyes, he took in a deep breath and ruffled his hair, a smirk seized at his lips. Rolling the car keys in his hand, he approached a door, opened it, and stepped into a dark room. As soon as he walked in, the lights flickered on, his skeptical eyes scanned the surroundings, and he muttered, "Let's get down to business, Ernesto. Unlike you, I have other things to do rather than stay hidden in a dark alleyway while planning an attack on my rival." Chris pulled out a chair, wiped it off with a napkin on the table, and sat down, crossing his legs to sit in a relaxed state. Nearly two minutes after he welcomed himself in, shoe clicks echoed through the small room and a man came into view. Standing tall, emanating a thoughtful presence, his angular jawline was mark

    The heat that exploded in his body due to the spice in the food was unimaginably painful, he felt it in every inch of his body as he experienced severe heart burn, he knew for a fact, that beyond any reasonable doubt, this was a malicious orchestration. Heavy beads of sweat formed and trickled down his forehead as he held himself in place with shere will, if he wasn't used to the sensation of pain he'd have been rolling on the floor like a goddamn child.Cecile had a knack for getting back at him but he knew for a fact that she'd never pull such a trick. Already knowingly, there was only one other person who would have done it and he knew.Ben leaned his back against the wall for support, still reeling from the near-death experience he just had before he'd go back into the dining room, if she was trying to play a fast one for him for petty revenge, even if she won he wouldn't let her see that or get the pleasure of her success.Aliyah's eyes scanned around and there was still no sign

    Ben left Aliyah seeking clues about what the hell he meant about all that.She was beyond confused wondering what she could possibly do to get through to him, to appeal to that rock-hard heart of his.She suddenly heard the door swing open, and Ben strutted slowly into the room looking ready to go to bed."You have told me to try to earn the privilege but you have given me no clue on how to do that whatever I do, you are just going to have to bear with it then. Until I figure it out.""Whatever I don't care," he replied casually before nestling on the bed.His answer was expected, she grinned as she watched him turn his back to her."Fine then I'll just do whatever I can since he asked for this she thought to herself."With the answer he gave, she was going to find a way to get on his good side one way or another, but before all that, there was something she needed to do first.Something that had been burning within her since the incident, her urge for vengeance, Whatever his reason

    Ben pulled his car to stop, right by the corner of the road as a call came in. It was from Levi, and he had been expecting him to call sooner rather than later. He had handed Mark over to him and there were answers that he required."Hello Levi, what has he told you?" he went straight to the point."I got him to tell me all he knew, and as you suspected the Costello family seems to be involved, but I think it's more than just that, there was some sort of connivance, we've also been able to locate Riccardo's sister."He gave a deep sigh and brushed his hand through the loose strands of his hair."Find her and make sure she regains her freedom, do whatever you need to do, and bring her back.""Alright, Sir," Levi replied affirmatively"One more thing, boss, It has to do with your lady," he knew exactly who Levi was talking about."What is it?" Ben asked as his face contorted into a frown."All I could surmise is that a big player in politics seems to have been involved in a series of ki

    A tall dark brooding man dropped out of his car, the entirety of his attire was black, as if he had just come from a funeral. His darkened gaze was that of a cold murderer, it was Levi, Ben's right-hand man. He tapped gracefully on the side of the cigar pack and swiped up the first one that popped up, sliding it between his fingers he lit it up and took a long, and deep breath, feeling up his insides with the thick smoke oozing from the burning cigar, he swiped it between his fingers and released a puff.Levi stared around briefly before he ambled into a seemingly abandoned building, his shoe clicked gracefully in the alleyway.tossing aside his half-finished stick of cigarette.Levi took a quick look at the battered man who was sitting on the floor with his hands tied behind his back, clear bruises lining every corner of his swollen face, hardly being able to move around because of the cruel torture he had been through.
