Charlotte bolted off the bed when she heard noises downstairs. For the past two days, she has been anticipating telling Lorenzo to allow her go chop for new clothes.Even though he got her some few pieces of new clothes, they turned out not to be her taste.Charlotte has been thinking of a way to escape, but nothing seemed to be coming to her head, until recently, she thought of using the bar as an excuse.She thought she should ask him to let her go shop for some skimpy wears, and immediately he allows her to go, she would carry out her plans.Ever since she began working at the bar, she has been using a two different skimpy outfits to sing every night, and has gotten tired of repeating same clothes.She thought if she comes up with an excuse to shop, he would allow her to go since it's for his benefits, and when he does, she will proceed with her plans.She slowly led her way to the door, and quietly pushed it open. She spun to her both sides, when she didn't see anyone coming, she
Xavier arrived at his duplex where Pablo has been receiving treatment, from Alex's doctor friend who works at a psychiatric hospital. He marched into the house, and hurried towards Pablo. He was laying on the floor with a chain tied over his legs and hands.Xavier painstakingly scans his features, Pablo looks thin and pale. He also has some bruises on his lips."I was about to call you over, what took you so long?" Alex asked, and marched closer to him."I'm sorry, I had a meeting with the employees, there's so much that needed my attention. Moreover, Ms Evelyn has been doing her best, the work is much on her, I had to do others to ease things for her."Xavier rose and spun around to face him, while the doctor continued to check the progress of his health."You must be tired, do you still have other things at the office?""Yes, Ms Evelyn requested to have a discussion with me regarding something, and I have to meet with your sugar mummy later."Alex chuckled but didn't push it, he kne
The giant hurriedly stepped out of the shop and vigorously grabbed Charlotte's hands in his, making her staggered, heading to the ground, but he was quick to hold her.Immediately Charlotte regained her posture, she shoved his hands away, and picked up her bag that fell to the ground. She noticed they were standing inches away from each other, and had to move away from him. "What is your problem?" Why do you have to grab me like that? Do you have a problem with me?" Charlotte breathes out frustrated."I asked you to pick out more cloths, do you have to make me return to pick those outfits for you?" He queried, pointing at the store. Charlotte opened the car door and placed the bag inside. She gazed at him and shook her head."You know what? Forget it, I don't need them anymore, let's just go, I'm exhausted." She got into the car, and closed her eyes.Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. What if he had caught her? What if he got a hint of what she meant by those clothes? She would
They arrived at the location Scott directed them to, and met a few of the cops outside the apartment, using a long yellow tape to barricade passerbys from coming closer.Alex quickly steps out of the car, leaving Xavier behind. He approached a male cop and exchanged pleasantries with him, before asking further questions."Is this Ms Norah's apartment?""Yes, her neighbor called to notify us of what happened, but before we got here with the emergency van, she was dead.""Where is your senior? Mr Scott, I want to speak with him.""Please a minute, I will have to go get him, no one is allowed to pass."Alex nodded, and watched him turn on his heels."She must have been struggling to make a leaving." Xavier said from behind, but Alex did not respond. He understands Xavier must have said that because of how the environment looks like.A few minutes into waiting, the male cop returned with Scott, and excused himself."I had to call you immediately, we got a call from her neighbor." Scott sa
"You should get some rest, let's spend some time together, I have wronged you, and want to make it up to you." Jane whispered, as she massages her husband's shoulders.Antonio had a smile at the corner of his lips, he was happy he got to be with his wife again. He lifts his hands and placed it on hers, making her halt from the massage."You have not wronged me, okay? I have been a horrible husband to you, I should be the one apologizing." He squeezes her hands lightly, and she chuckled."Okay, fine, but are you sure you want to make it up to me? You have to keep to your words.""I will do anything for you, but don't just include my brother in it, I'm still going to get my company and houses." He responded, and made her quickly pulled her hands out of his, and stood up."When is this ever going to stop? You just got released, and you're already thinking of fighting him? When will you accept your father left nothing for you?" She yelled at him, astound at her outburst."I can see you be
Xavier hurried downstairs to meet his Aunt, who had been waiting for him. As promised to take her to Antonio's mansion, he got off work earlier and drove home to freshen up before they headed out. He made it obvious like he was earnestly taking her to his uncle's mansion, but he had a different place he wanted her to accompany him, and have a conversation regarding the whole choas.As he marches into the living room, Bryan came into view with him first, and jerked up from the couch. "Don't tell me you're taking her there? You're only going there to cause a scene." He said, waiting for a response, but Xavier didn't utter a word. He just picked up his car keys from the stool, ready to leave."Sis, I don't think this is a good idea, why don't you stay back and let Xavier go alone." Margaret suggested, perhaps she could be convinced, but to no avail."Are you trying to stop me, Margaret? Do you know how it feels to lose a son? Do you know how I have been coping without him? He is the on
The steps from behind got his attention. He halt from what he was doing, and spun his neck around to see his father, and mother. This was a bad timing. He knew that, yet he came to the living room to work.He stood up, and cast his gaze down, staring at his laptop. "Father, welcome home, I didn't know you were around, I would have come and see you.""You didn't know I was around? Why have you been coming home late, Scott? You defied me and went ahead to become a cop, now you come back to my house whenever you feel like? Why didn't you get an apartment when you moved back?""Sweetheart, please not now, it's late to be doing this, you know how his work is like, he has to be at the station.""Don't you side with him, I have had enough of this, I can't watch him come back home whenever he feels like it. He should get an apartment and move out.""Father, what is your problem? What have I done wrong that you can't forgive me? I chose to be a cop because that has always been my dream, I had
As soon as Charlotte heard everywhere was quiet, she eased her step down the bed, and carried her legs as quiet as she could to the wardrobe in her room.She stood still, her eyes scanning here and there like a thief, praying not to hear a sound or voices. When she heard nothing, she stretched her hands out, and opened up the wardrobe.Charlotte rummages the few clothes she had Inside, and pulled out a baggy pants and hoodie. She quickly changed into the outfit and turned towards the door.She had plans to run away when she returned from the bar, after hearing the manager's conversation over the phone a few days back. They planned to fly her out of the country tomorrow, and instead of waiting, she decided to run away tonight.Lorenzo has been planning to fly her out of California to work for him elsewhere, and she couldn't stay one more night before she ran away.She asked for a favor from a female bartender at the regulars to get sleeping pills for her to use for sleepless night.The
