As Jayden entered Oscar’s office at the company, he met an old man glaring at him furiously. Jayden got closer to the desk and Oscar right then, threw first a newspaper he held in his left hand, then the second one came after.“What is this I'm seeing?” Oscar shouted on top of his normal voice, causing him to cough a bit, clearing his throat. He must have forgotten he wasn’t young anymore.Feeling for the old man, his secretary, in a cheerful manner, tried to calm him down. “Sir, er hm, you know, you need to take things easy. Shouting isn't good for…” Albert was yet to finish his sentence when Oscar interrupted, about losing his temper.Oscar’s face was as red as tomatoes juice.“Get lost now! He is my son and I can shout at him in whichever tone I want!” “I… I… I’m sorry.” He stuttered his words, hurrying to the door, as well as turning to beg at almost every step taken. Irritating Oscars the more.“Get the fuvk out of my office!” Oscar finally snapped.It felt like he was diverting
Oscar's jaw tightened, and he clutched his hands into fists. It wasn't visible to Margaret, though. She maintained a sinister smile, and it irritated him even more. He was aware of his mistakes, but Margaret was his worst. And also causing Jayden to hate him. “Are you going to give me the money or not?” She asked, suddenly looking serious.It fluctuated from an angel's face to that of a female devil. Oscar let out a sigh. “Margaret, I didn't say you won't get it. The thing is, just last week, you wanted three million dollars.”“Yes, I know that. I've exhausted that already. Don't make me wait.” Her tone changed, and she stressed her last sentence.It sounded more like she was getting pissed off, which Oscar didn't want.“Fine. How much do you need?” The question slipped out, causing him to regret almost immediately. His question resonated like an open cheque.Margaret grinned and leaned closer to him. She whispered, “Ten million.” “Huh!?” He exclaimed. Maybe he heard wrong. Not lik
A wave of anger filled him inside out. The urge to throw things around and yell had to be suppress as he shut his eyes and took in a deep breath. Knowing the woman in front of him and what she was capable of, scared him even more.“I cant do this anymore.” He mumbled, clutching both hands into a fist.Margaret furrowed her brows. She got a bit confused as he wasn’t specific. But she hoped he wasn’t talking about reporting her to the police. He knew too much about her.“I don’t get you!” “About us.” He demonstrated with his hand, “I cant do this anymore. Go met another dude, I’m tired. You cant completely take over my life and still hurt me like im just a toy thing.”Margaret scoffed as she couldn’t believe what was happening. She closed the gap between them, looking up at him, “I still don’t understand what…” Thomas interrupted, “I saw and have heard about your new partner. I saw you kiss him some days back at the parking lot close to…” he broke down, sniffing and trying to control h
Loverina waited at the living room. it was past ten and Jayden wasn’t back yet. She approached her grandma’s room after feeling too bored.“I overheard your voice.” Loverina remarked as she stepped in.“The servants here are too nice.” Grandma Clara praised as she beckoned on Loverina to come closer. “What is wrong my baby girl, you don’t look too good. Did something happen?” she inquired.Loverina had a lot to say. She wished it was possible to tell about all of it. But, she didn’t want to. She felt at some point, she would be able to fit in properly with her new life and forget the former life.“Boys problem? Is it about you and Eric?” Loverina lowered her gaze. She didn’t want to say anything that would lead to more lies.“It should be about Jayden, right? You are falling for your colleague. Jayden seem like a nice guy but then, think about Eric. He visited me every single day at the hospital. He would keep me company for hours and sometimes brought food. Also, you two have been to
After what took forever, Alexis let the cat out of the bag. “My parents have been calling for me to return home. Of recent, I got a call from my dad, and he sounded it like a warning. I already told them i would, once the event comes to an end. So, by Monday morning, I would be on my flight heading back. I was emailed the prebooked flight and time. And you know, i miss home as well.” Loverina who was first disappointed, accepted fate and nodded. Her eyes got teary as she began to get emotional. Alexis had been a true friend since they met. She closed her eyes, imagining the boredom and loneliness ahead. It scared her!“I will miss you dearly.” Loverina replied after she sensed Alexis wanted her to say something on it.“I will too. My sister from another mother.” Alexis tapped her on the hand and chuckled, trying to suppress the urge to cry.“Okay. So we have just two days left. Today is Saturday.” Alexis nodded.“I will miss you.” Alexis repeated and hugged Loverina.Grandma Clara he
“Can I open the window?” Loverina asked. She wanted to feel the night breeze against her skin. “Please, wait a second. Let me turn off the air conditional and open the window.” The driver spoke while already acting towards what he had just said.His eyes were still on the road. He stretched his hand to locate the ‘a/c’ button, and Loverina watched in amazement from the back. She was impressed to see the level of experience he has in driving that he didn’t even need to look for it. He could tell the exact switch while his eyes are still fixed on the road.He opened the windows and then, did a quick turn to Loverina, “Is this okay? Is there anything else you want?”Loverina smiled back and nodded her head.Not long after that, she was looking out the window when she saw a familiar figure. Even the clothing seemed to be the same thing. Loverina was tempted to call out as deep down, she could swear it was Alexis.‘It cannot be her, right? It’s too late for Alexis to be out in the dark. A
The nark traffic jam was immovable, and cars even had to park for long before any move. The road was filled with people who no longer wished to wait in their various cars anymore; they were hasting to their workplaces by trekking some distance. Their jobs meant a lot to them and in such Urban areas, it was difficult or nearly impossible to survive without a job or a helping hand from rich relatives.It was barely 8 O'clock in the morning and the road was already locked. On normal days, the traffic would be mere, but on Fridays, everyone was stuck up on the road. It seemed as though the entire city followed the same route to their various destinations. As if Friday was cursed. This Friday was the worst because no traffic controllers seen on duty and everyone wanted to be ahead of others. The horns from different vehicles parked and even curses from crazy drivers were heard. Causing the worst noise pollution.“Ugh, this is absurd. I hate this and fuck, the noise is deafening.” Jayden, a
At the Oscars family house, some of thestaffs where out to welcome Jayden. And Jayden's white limousine drove in justas Andrew had informed them. The driver parked right in front of the house anda man approached the door.“Welcome sir!” The man who opened the door,said in a polite manner and had a smile on. He was one of the man servant,picked of recent to work for the Oscars family. He looked neat as though he wason an interview. Jaden have never seen him before and so, looked away. The manservant too dared not to look directly at his master and so, faced downwards.Looking so handsome in his black suit, hestepped out of the car and one could tell how dangerous he was only glancing athim. He always hard an evil look and never really showed emotions to anyone.Though he smiled while staring around but even the new servants, doubted it andshivered.“Oh my world! Look at how big you've grown.You look so handsome and when last I saw you, you were but ten years.” Hisyoung step

A wave of anger filled him inside out. The urge to throw things around and yell had to be suppress as he shut his eyes and took in a deep breath.

“I am Vivian the housekeeper.” The middle-aged woman who looked like she was the senior staff said with a bright smile, “And we are here to serve.” Now, she mentioned, pointing at others.Their clothing was of two colors, black and white. Well ironed. They did put in so much to put up an impression.It was a house, not hotel, they didn't need to suffocate themselves in sure a way. But then, it was their job anyway. Loverina knew if it were her, she would do more than them. First impression matters, right? Loverina wasn't too comfortable. Guess Jayden had become used to having so many servants around.The staff offered to help tour around the house. Though, those for the kitchen and outside left already. And grandma Clara kept arguing that she was strong enough to roll the wheelchair herself. She didn't want to miss anything. But Loverina insisted on pushing it herself. Meanwhile, grandma Clara couldn't bring herself to believe that the house she was exploring belongs to them.It was
Eric saw how she snubbed him and tears rolled down his eyes as he gave himself to the men who were dragging him. Not once did she turn to him. She made him look like a crazy person. It was at that moment he noticed the mockery stares and phones being pointed in his direction. He lowered his face as he felt ashamed. The beating he got from trying to get Loverina was nothing compared to the ache in his heart. He didn’t even know what was taking over him, the feeling of being rejected publicly or that of rage. Before his very eyes, she allowed Jayden to put his hand on her waist, just near her ass cheeks. It was a message from Jayden, and he understood the meaning.They threw him out of the hospital. Passersby gave him a weird look. Someone being kicked out of a hotel would be considered a psychopath. And the only scene he wouldn’t get over was seeing how Loverina smiled and walked away like she didn’t know him.“So because I am not rich? So this is what it is about?” He asked himself in
Eric from afar spotted four men, dressed in black suits, standing close to the entrance of Grandma Clara' ward.Two were standing about three steps away from the entrance. Then the other two stood just in front of the door.Still determined to get his answers from Loverina anyhow, he approached, making an attempt to pass through when one of the bodyguards stopped him by stretching out his hand in midair.“I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to pass except for hospital staffs,” the man replied in a scary tone.Immediately, Eric decided to play along. What the man said gave him an idea. He smiled back at the man, sounding more confident.“But I am a doctor here,” He spoke causally.The bodyguard scanned him from head to toe. The shoe even looked wore out. Under his armpits, his polo was dammed with sweat. He looked like a homeless young man.Being professional, the man suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. He knew exactly what the young man was trying to do.Eric thought he caught the
