“Please leave..” Chloe Gayle prayed as she peeped once again through the keyhole of the ladies’ restroom cubicle. The three women who stood in front of the mirror were gossiping as they touched up their makeup. “I’m not surprised really. I’ve always known that she’s such a whore.” One of the girls said as she ran the powder foam over her cheeks. The other girls laughed.“A kinky whore at that!. Fucking her uncle.” Another added with a chuckle.“Uncle? I heard they aren’t even related to each other in any way. Yet she goes around the agency, parading like she’s the queen of Fame Hall. It’s always hard breathing properly when she’s close by. Such a bully!.”“Right!?.. Let’s see how she dares to do that from now on. Fucking a married man. Tsk tsk.” the girl hissed as she replaced a lipstick in her bag. She smacked her lips and smiled at her reflection in the mirror before turning to follow after the others.Chloe gritted her teeth at their insulting words, partially relieved to see the
“57, 58, 59, now.” Maria Coker counted the seconds leading to 3:00 p.m. as the school’s alarm system struck to indicate closing time. She smiled when barely one second later, the double doors flew open and the elementary schoolers ran out in troops eagerly to go home. To avoid colliding with the excited kids, Maria waited until the rush was over. When the number of teenagers heading out turned fewer, she found her way into the school premises.She had a meeting with the head teacher regarding her resumption of teaching activities. Maria had missed the classroom and her hips were fully recovered now. “Miss Coker!”, A tiny voice shrieked making Maria’s heart jump in her chest. She turned in time to see Avery, her grade three class president run over to her and throw her arms around her, to her surprise. The little girl was always quiet and only spoke up when necessary. “Oh, Avery!.” Maria said as she returned the little girl’s hug which was quick and over in time. “How have you bee
It was evening outside and the dimly lit bar was starting to get more lively with customers coming inat intervals.Maria Coker sat across from Richard King with her hands gripping the glass of drink she had ordered tightly. She couldn’t bring herself to drink just yet as she was having a hard time gathering her raging emotions which threatened to spill very soon. The man in front of her was the last person she needed to see right now. The one person she had successfully hidden away from for so long... until now.Richard watched the various emotions playing out on Maria’s face nervously. All these years searching for her, he had always imagined how things might be when he found Maria. He had imagined begging her to come back to him, to live with him. But right now, having finally found her, sitting right in front of her, all the words he had planned to say eluded him. Richard realized that had no right to say such things to her anymore. Especially not when his own family had ruined h
The staff at Infinity Jewels had the most entertaining week ever. They were not only given a hot topic to discuss but were also served proof of their gossip every morning for ten straight days. Their CEO, Noah Sanchez had always been a popular topic of their gossip. Be it the rumors surrounding his sexuality, the possibility of him being gay, or the many beautiful women that had tried to get past his secretary only to get banished from being 100 meters close to Infinity Jewels forever, or was it the tiny rumors that whispered possibilities of the assumptions about Mr. Tyler Harris, the only man who was so close to the CEO to be their boss's secret gay lover.Cough!.Tyler Harris sneezed as he walked through the staff offices on the second floor after personally receiving the never-ending offering of sweet-smelling red roses, a new proposal ring, and a note from security. All meant for the CEO.* * *Noah's face reddened in displeasure as he watched Tyler walk into his office with the
“There’s been a slight change in our plans.”Noah declared with a hint of frustration in his voice as he ended the call with his grandfather.“Change? What changed?”, Lola asked with a frown as she stopped poking at her food to look up at him. “My grandfather seems to want more than just registering our marriage and getting the certificate. He also wishes that we stay in the family home together with the rest of the family for at least two weeks.”Stay in the family home?! “Is there no way around that?” Lola asked with widened eyes. She was understandably afraid. She knew that the Sanchez family was no ordinary family and honestly did not know what to expect from them. She was from an ordinary background and had no power or influence attached to her name.How would they treat her? She couldn’t help but imagine how it would be to live in the Sanchez family’s ancestral mansion for even two weeks with those high and mighty people! They were rich and most rich people she knew were snobbis
It was almost evening time and the sound of the sea waves could barely be heard over the volume of the loud music blaring from the speaker. It was noisy as different activities were going on at the same time. The party was in full swing. A group of ladies in two-piece bikinis walked past a shade with cocktail pitchers in their hands. Bianca Sanders laughed as two of the men in their group stood up to go after them at once. Her phone started vibrating at the same time. "A minute please," Bianca said as she excused herself from the rest of her friends."Hi Mom." she greeted as she picked up the call.Unlike her daughter, Charlotte Sanders was in no mood for pleasantries. "You were supposed to be home an hour ago Bianca. Where the hell are you?." she asked angrily."Mom about that... I wish to stay back a bit longer. Why do you need me back home anyway?." Bianca asked complaining as she removed the phone from her ear, holding it away at an arm's length to guard her eardrum from the fami
A red Rolls Royce Ghost car drove into the Sanchez family estate only to be greeted by the noise of an abnormally bustling mansion.Furrowing her eyebrows, Ava Sanchez stepped down from the back seat of the vehicle as the chauffeur held the door open for her. She wondered why the mansion was so noisy as her servants had been trained to always be organized and quiet as they went about their chores.She ignored the greetings of the maids who had lined up outside to help carry the bags containing the new luxury items she had shopped earlier in the morning from the car trunk and she walked into the house with low clanking heels.Inside the huge mansion, the servants were busy rearranging pieces of furniture and adding more seats to the long table in the large dining hall. “Mrs Dorothy?.” Ava called as she made a signal for one of the nearby maids to call the housekeeper over. The maid scurried off and returned with a plump woman in her mid-fifties. “Madam Sanchez. Welcome back.” Mrs. Dor
It was already past 5 p.m. and Ava watched with a content smile on her face as the extended members of the Sanchez family started to arrive one after the other. As the mistress of the house, she was dressed in the finest outfit and adorned with the most befitting accessories. With her thirty-year-old appearance, it was hard to believe that Ava Sanchez was a woman in her mid-fifties. “There you are Ava, It’s so nice to see you again after so long!.” Aunt Lucy, Grandfather Sanchez’s younger sister exclaimed as she sighted Ava. Peter, her husband was right behind her and he also gave Ava a quick hug after his wife.“It’s also nice seeing you, Aunt Lucy. You keep looking younger by the years.” Ava teased making the old lady blush uncontrollably. “You would never stop teasing me,” she complained making Ava and Uncle Peter laugh. “No I won’t Aunt, I’m glad you guys could make it over with such short notice,” Ava said as she signaled for Mrs. Dorothy to lead the old couple inside. Soon, th
