Dwayne managed to recover himself from the trance he was in —shaking Elsie's threat from his mind. “I won't be swayed by her threat? I won't let her lay a finger on my family or harm even a strand of their hair!”

Dwayne said to himself in determination before he rushed through the stairs, down to the dinning room, startling Ciara who unconsciously dropped her spoon on the floor.

Lisa frowned at his behavior, clearly displeased. “What's with the rush?” She demanded, her frowned tightened. “You just scared the daylight out of me.”

Dwayne breathed in slowly, raising his left palm in apology. “I'm sorry, I think I forgot something very important.” He told her in reply. “You can go on with your breakfast, I never mean to startle you.”

“You should be careful, Dwayne. You should stop getting worried over nothing.” She cautioned him, wiping her shirt due to the crumbles that feel on it. “—you can't caution Herzl if you're being this way.”

Dwayne picked the spoon that fell off her hand, placing

    Dwayne went straight to the bathroom without sparing himself a second to breathe —due to the rush and not being aware of the bathroom floor being greased, he slipped, hitting his head hard on the bathtub.Dwayne's head pounded with pain, causing him to groan loudly. A cold chill immediately sent a ripple through him, realizing that he was bleeding profusely from the impact of the fall. He was disoriented and barely able to comprehend what was happening to him.He tried to scream, but it seemed like he suddenly lose his voice. No matter how hard he tries to scream, he could barely hear his own voice.He attempted to stand up but couldn't due to the excruciating pain in his back and his neck was hurting like hell —he had a dislocation in his neck due to how hard he hit his head on the bathtub.Slowly, he felt his life sipping away from his body with no one around to help him.

    Gerald arrived at the company but was surprised to hear that Lisa is yet to resume for the day. He wondered what might be keeping her at home, after almost three hours of waiting for her but to no avail, he decided to call her.He tried several times, but her line was unreachable, he was deeply worried and doubted she'll be doing just fine on her own. —in as much as he tries to keep up with positive thinking, he couldn't ignore the eerie feeling he keeps having within himself.After a while, Gerald decided to try calling Lisa's home number, hoping to speak with her aunt that resides with her. After a few rings, someone picked up.“Hello…?” Came a female voice on the other end of the line.“Hi, is this Lisa's home line?” Gerald asked. “I'm trying to reach Lisa, but her phone is unreachable.”“Yes, I'm her aunt.” Aunt Elsie replied. “I'm afraid I can't help you at the moment, she has left for the hospital a couple of hours ago.”Gerald felt a twinge of concern. “Hospital, you say?” He re

    “Lisa suffered a severe shock when she heard about Dwayne's death, and this had a significant impact on her mental health.” Dr. Bethany explained, her voice laced with concern at the news she's passing.In a nutshell, Gerald felt devastated upon hearing the doctor's explanation. He could see the same look of fear and worry on Aunt Elsie's face, and knew they were both deeply concerned about Lisa's condition.It's clear they were not only pained at the news but confused, not knowing which one of the news to react towards —either Dwayne's death news or Lisa's mental challenge. It came too sudden and unexpected.“What… what do you mean?” Aunt Elsie asked, her voice trembling. “Is Dwayne truly dead? And Lisa —is she going to be okay?”Dr. Bethany paused for a moment before answering.“I know this is a lot to take in,” Dr. Bethany said, her voice soft and compassionate. “Let's try to take things one step at a time. First, I want to reassure you that while Dwayne's death is indeed a tragedy,

    It's been almost a week since the tragedy that befall Lisa —on the flip side, Aunt Elsie felt she had enough already; of her pretence and being there for Lisa when she is basically nothing but a burden to her.Looking after Herzl was a big blow to her guts, she wished she could just toss him aside like a piece of trash or better still, render him in such a useless state as void as his mother's —she just wants anything to take him out of her way.But she knew she can't, no matter how much she wishes for it —because people will talk and rumors would go round, spreading faster than wildfire.‘Dwayne died, his sister struggling with her mental health and his cousin in a poor state?’ Such drastic news as that will only ruin the reputation she globally wanted to build and jeopardize her plans.Aunt Elsie was torn between comforting the little boy —without letting him have a knowledge of his mother's predicament and paying a visit to Lisa at the psychiatric center every day; it was too much f

    The atmosphere was awkward, each staffs of the board meeting seizing their breath anxiously —they were curious to know the reasons for the impromptu board meeting. Aunt Elsie stood at the edge of the long table, meant for the company's head. Her both hands resting on the table, as she stares at the faces of each executive on seat.The room was deathly silent, as everyone waited for Aunt Elsie to speak, with the same questions running through each executives' mind.‘Who is she to have us all assembled like this without formal notice?’‘Why is she here all of a sudden, taking up the seat that was meant for Ms. Fellers?’Aunt Elsie looked around the table, her expression unreadable and her lips curled up in an almost invincible, unfriendly smirk. Finally, she cleared her throat and began to speak.“I'll go straight to the point.” She said, her voice strong and clear. “Today, I'm here to inform you all of an important announcement, and I hope you listen attentively and carefully.”They all

    Aunt Elsie was aware that convincing the company's employees to trust her would be a difficult task. They had all worked for the Feller's family for a long time, and were likely to be wary of change. However, she was determined to do her best to keep the company running smoothly —no, to keep onto the company for her personal interest.She decided to begin by explaining that Dwayne's was no longer with them, she knows this was a difficult truth for each member of the company to accept, but it was something they will have to face.Aunt Elsie breathed in slowly before speaking. “Mr. Dwayne can't be here with us in person —any longer.” She enunciated, each member of the board meeting was wearing a questioning look. “...this is because he is dead!”The room was plunged into an eerie silence, as the executives processed Aunt Elsie's words —which were too hard to digest, it was just like a big lump in their throat that's too hard to swallow.“What?” One of them finally gasped, his voice barel

    Gerald was on his way to the hospital as usual when he received a call from Milan. He was surprised to see her call; that was the last thing he expected from her —a call out of the blues when they don't even talk, not even for once.“Gerald…" She called out slowly, unsure of her voice. Gerald could feel her anxiety in her voice. “This is Gerald, right?”“Yes!” His reply was blunt and quick. “Why are you calling Milan? Did something go wrong in my absence?”Milan on the other line hesitated for a while as she breathed out sharp, contemplating on what to say or how to say it.“It's okay, Milan.” Gerald was considerate enough to cajole her, her rapid breathing was obvious on the phone. “You can talk to me, whatever it is, I'm all ears and I'll listen. Okay?”“Okay…" She mouthed almost immediately. “Where are you? Can you come to the company as quickly as you can? This is really important!”“I'm on my way to the hospital, but I can make a detour to the company if it's that important.” Gera

    As she sat, deep in thought, a sudden buzz broke her concentration. A notification appeared on her phone, with a message from her former fiancé, David."Why is he sending me a message out of the blue?" She muttered within herself as she unlocked her phone to read the message, feeling a mixture of anxiety and curiosity. She read the message, and her breath caught in her throat.Sarah stared at the message sent to her, her curiosity suddenly turned into a mixture of anger and sadness. It reads, 'I can't believe you are such a gold digger, Sarah! This was your plan all along? To ditch me, leave me in disgrace at the altar, and go after the president because he's loaded, isn't he?'Sarah gritted her teeth in fury as she read the message further. 'You are such a cheap slut, but I promise you, Sarah, that I won't go down without a fight! Be on your best guard because tonight, I'm giving you the biggest surprise of your life...!'David's words cut through her like a knife, the fact that he go

    Sarah, a name now acknowledged and recognized in the journal of the nation's political context, stood as the center of an exceptional sight, surrounded by glaring lights, loud and noisy voices, and examining eyes from the press, reflecting a model of the public.Amidst the lights and noisy surroundings, the press that managed to get close to her probed her with questions, their eyes gleaming with excitement. She was their new prey - the fact that she was the first Lady made things more interesting for them.For the first time since her marriage with the president, she had only stepped out for a moment to look around and probably get used to her new environment but things did not turn out as she thought would be.As though the press was keeping a close watch on her and monitoring her movement - maybe someone had tipped them off her whereabouts, they hovered around her like flies, trapping her down in the same spot.Microphones and other instruments used by the press were pointed in her

    As Sarah stood at the altar to exchange marital vows with the president, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. It was as if time had slowed down, and everything around her was moving in slow motion.The guests, the priest, the groom - they all seemed to be moving at a fraction of the speed she was used to. Everything felt surreal as if she was in a dream. But she knew this was real. This was her wedding day - another wedding she was holding in that same week she ditched the first one.The priest's words drifted through the air as if they were carried by the wind. "Do you, Sarah, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"As the words of the vow hung in the air, Sarah felt her heart skip a beat. It was like everything had stopped, and it was just her and the president in the world. She looked into his eyes, a

    Sarah had never seen him before which made her curiosity piqued, her gaze on the parcel he stretched out to her. Though she was tempted to take the parcel from him, she still hesitated as though she was contemplating taking the parcel from him.His unusual warm smile spread wider, urging her to take it from him. Seeing how much she was hesitating, he squatted down to her height, opened her palms, and placed the parcel on them."For you..." He uttered, still wearing his unusual warm smile. His voice was calm but far from the regular manly voice Sarah had heard."What's in the parcel?" She asked, directing her gaze from the man to the parcel in her palms before raising her gaze to meet the man's. "-and why are you giving it to me?""I can read the curiosity in your eyes, lady." He responded quietly, maintaining his calm tone. "Why don't you feed your curiosity by checking it out yourself?"Sarah said nothing in reply and did as the man had suggested. She opened the parcel and couldn't be

    Alone on the serene and deserted beach, Sarah sat on the sandy shore, the waves crashing against the beach as if echoing her inner turmoil. The sunset on the horizon in its warm hue of orange failed to bring comfort to the despair that hung over her like a chute.Her eyes were red and swollen, heavy with the weight of sorrow and betrayal. Tears painted her face, the hurt as vast as the sea itself and heavy as a lead. Yet underneath the sorrow was an underlying sense of trepidation - a thought that wasn't born out of hope but out of fear of continuing to live.Sarah ought to be grateful that she found out about them before the knot was tied between herself and David - how worse would it be if things started to unfold after her wedding?Sarah stood up abruptly and walked closer to the beach, shutting other thoughts off her head and mind. She stared intensely into the raging waves of the waster as thoughts of suicide attempts swirled in her mind, tempting her to end the painful game she f

    Gerald was pushed aggressively back into the prison, and the warder locked the gate immediately, throwing the keys into his pocket. Gerald hissed in pain as he forcefully hit his knee on the cold floor, bruising it in the process.“I wonder how long you are going to last here with the nonchalant attitude you are putting on, man!” The warder scowled disapprovingly at him, resting lazily on the gaze. “You won't even last three months here —you will be lucky if you do.”Gerald's eyes widened in shock. Three months…? That's a whole lot of time to be detained in a prison, how is he supposed to cope in this kind of surrounding for that long period of time without even knowing his offense? The thought of spending three months locked up in a cell was terrifying as it made his stomach dropped.It was hard to imagine being stuck in such a small space for so long, with nothing to do and no one to talk to. Gerald tried to think of ways to pass the time, but his mind kept returning to the same thou

    Gerald's eyes blazed in fury as he banged his hands dangerously on the table, separating them from each other. “I rather remain in this hole than be at your mercy or listen to your petty orders! You can't make me do your bidding!” He growled at her.“Tsk, tsk!” Aunt Elsie twitched her nose in disappointment, unmoved by his rage or threats. “Then what would happen to Lisa? I told you; that your reaction and obedience will determine Lisa's fate, didn't I?”“What are you going to do to Lisa?” Gerald demanded, his heart beating against his rib cage. He couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her. “Tell me what you want, and I'll do it. Just don't hurt her.”Aunt Elsie's lips stretched into a thin smile, she was loving the desperation in Gerald's eyes —he's the perfect pawn in the game. “I'm glad to see that you're willing to cooperate.” She said, satisfaction evident in her tone. “You're a smart man, Gerald, I think we can work well together.”Gerald hated the way she was talkin

    Aunt Elsie smiled broadly, she was right about him. Only someone like him will be needed —he had managed to read her perfectly without getting close to her. She was impressed, and that will only make her want him more.“I don't bargain, yeah…" She uttered, admitting to his words. “—but I'm ready to do so, if it'll please you.”“What do you mean by that?” he asked, his curiosity piqued. “Why would you change your usual tactics just to please me? What do you want from me?”Aunt Elsie's smile widened, she was glad he didn't bite her head off this time —instead, she loved the curiosity in his eyes; that was what she wanted from him anyway, not otherwise.“I've found myself smitten with you, Gerald.” She replied, her voice taking a different turn. “And I would do anything to get what I want from you —I'm not afraid of bargaining this time because I know what I want, and I want it badly.”Gerald was no in for her twist and turns, he wanted her to say whatever thing she's got for him and let
