2022-07-22 11:00:33For the first time in his life Frank was stepping foot into the Keene manor and it lived to his expectations. The decor, the floor the walls, the high-end furniture coated with gold and the staff busy walking to different directions. Everything screamed money and he had that soothing feeling that it was all going to be his. He had no intention to brag to Elsie about his secretive billionaire life but it was his last resort. If he exhausted all the options he was going to have to use that.
"Welcome home boy" Wade whispered in his ear."Thank you" Frank said looking around."Wade my man!" The house manager, a short stout man with grey hair and a potbelly in a black suit and a badge on his left said walking downstairs."Who else if not Bramwel!" Wade said happily as the two men hugged in a brotherly manner, they then went ahead to exchange pleasantries.Frank was left staring still on his feet. Looking lost like gazelle in a lion’s territory. It was not until oneRelated chapters
ENTANGLED Chapter 20
At tea break, a half past ten Elsie briskly walked out of her office. Tom had already notified her that Bella was waiting in the cafeteria. She used the normal lift and you could sense the respect from her fellow employees or hatred it was hard to tell but they just like stopped talking the moment she go in there and they didn’t say a word to her until the got to the ground floor where they went to their different directions and picked up the conversations that they were withholding. It made her feel like a snitch, the bosses pet. Exactly what Lewis had warned her about. Now she needed the executive lift key card.However one brave girl named Lisa from her name tag approached her. She was wiry with curled hair, black sheath dress with red doll shoes."Good morning mum" she said happily as they marched outside."Morning, please just call me Elsie""We are used to it, referring to Mrs. Woodley when she comes around, anyway my name is Lisa am in the tech department girl

Seasons, they come and go, sometimes when we least expect or don’t want them to. After a couple of months of enjoying her relationship with Lewis, after countless dates, hanging out by the lake, sex in the shower and all the nasty stuff the end of a season was knocking. Lewis was starting to revert back to his earlier days slowly, step by step while frank, the demon that she was trying to cast out was still stalking her. She would close her eyes during yoga and open them only to see him. He even pretended to be a cleaner in the office just to see her. It was starting to get really serious and funny. It was no secret that he was obsessed with her. His argument was if she really didn't want him around she would have pressed charges or got some kind of restriction order. But no, she couldn't because Frank seemed to fill that gap Lewis left and it was wide, so wide. She finally agreed to be friends with benefits...get your head out of the gutter, no sex just friends and once i

When Elsie arrived in the Woodley manor that evening she chose to compose herself before she walked in. Everyone was seated in the living room enjoying the evening snacks. Cups full of porridge and a large tray of cookies in the middle of the antique but lacquered coffee table. The kids were in the dining rooms with a maid watching over them."Elsie glad you can join us?" George said happily."Thank you" she said flashing a smile."And where is Lewis I thought you two are together?" Beth asked and everyone had their eyes on her.Since the uncomfortability that came with cheating on Lewis, she had decided to entangle herself in lies again but that evening she had to come up with something to save his ass because the truth was too harsh. It was better to lie for someone she had no idea where they were but with Lewis it was different. He was with a hot model somewhere in the numerous clubs of waste brook having fun. Perhaps with his head between her legs making her scre

Early the next morning Elsie was coming from the bathroom when he saw Lewis slowly sneak into their room. He was smelling like a brewery itself and his tie was missing and he was barefoot. When he saw her watching him leaning on the door jamb he froze and smiled broadly, a smile that faded when he realized she was not smiling."Hey am sorry" he said staggering towards her, she pinched her nose with her thumb and index finger.She didn't say anything to him instead she pointed to the shower and shut the door when he stumbled on the toilet seat to puke. Elsie leaned on the door with her back and exhaled a lungful of compressed air, her eyes shut while her mind roamed through her memories looking for that particular memory. The day she met Lewis and the day she agreed to marry him. If it was a computer she would have send them straight to the recycle bin and also cleared the bin itself.But she was not. You see the author of the 5Am club said we humans have a tragic habit o

Robert Keene was seated in his garden enjoying the view with a newspaper in his hands. A chocolate lacquered coffee stool with a glass full of wine and bottle of Hardy's under it. He thumbed through the pages and stopped to sip from his glass once in a while. His wife Norah later joined him from the super active house. It was in this garden if not the bedroom where they did their usual talk. "You are all alone out here Robert everything okay? I couldn't help but notice you were missing from the party"She kissed him on the cheek and took a sip from his glass of wine. "Am okay hunnie I just needed some time to think you know with all the noise and kids playing everywhere""So what is that you're thinking about?""You really want to know?"Their relationship was based on single decision maker. Robert. They all just followed what he said blindly like a bunch of pilgrims. And in case they asked he always had an answer ready."Let me make it easy, how are yo

After five hours of deep unconscious sleep, Lewis came around feeling lighter than he had walked in that morning. He was also feeling so hungry thank God the maid who was entrusted with nursing him had prepared some fresh hot dogs and a glass of lemon juice, he gobbled up two hot dogs and then sipped the juice breathing heavily.Reality started to sink in. He had fucked up the only best thing that was happening to him in his life that was far from perfect. He tried to call Elsie again. Her phone was switched off this time. Lewis collapsed on the bed his weight made it creak a bit, his guess fixed on the white ceiling his mind roaming far and wide. He had a tragic habit of coming back to his senses after making a mistake and in this case not just any mistake. The door was knocked gently."Come in!" He said not moving.The maid walked in shyly. Lewis was lying bare-chested on the bed with a pair of shorts. Sweating profusely."Good afternoon sir" she said.He sprang up. Was it afternoon

Lewis angrily kicked the door open, pushed her in the room and shut it with a bang. Elsie was left standing in the middle of the room massaging her right hand that moments back was in the grasp of his, shaking with fear, tears were already rolling down her cheeks even before he said anything. Not for long because it was coming, you could tell from how he was seething with rage pacing up and down the room mumbling to himself and hopefully punching sense into his head instead of boiling with anger. "Where the Fuck have you been, you can't just run off and switch off your phone God damn it!" Screamed Lewis confronting her.She said nothing instead she raised her gaze, her face soaking wet with tears and dropped it, blowing her nose."Crying? Seriously Elsie, you think you can avoid this conversation with tears...""You're going to pretend like you don't know what's going on between us really Lewis?" She asked amid sobs."I came home drunk, in the morning. No need t

The Woodley family dinner was underway. Lewis was unusually quiet and that was because Elsie had not yet come downstairs. And somehow no one was asking about her almost as though they all knew where she was except him. You know his doubt would have been cleared by asking but he chose to believe the conspiracy theories that were cooking in his own head instead of talking. Communication, very important if you ask me without it there is confusion. Certainty and assumption are the enemies of growth for real.It took almost five minutes before Elsie walked downstairs and to his surprise they all noticed her and not him who had been there the whole time."I knew this food was sweet, look who has been pulled to the living room by the aroma" Joked Steve."You were right, I didn't even put on the dress I wanted out of fear" She seemed happier than she was with Lewis which made him even more curious. What was going on and what had he missed? Did he drink himself to a one-month com

That day even the students could tell their instructor was having the best if not one of the best days of his life. The training was fun, no yelling and those deep personal speeches he used in them to remind them of why God gave them the gift of dancing and how they needed to use it to the maximum, his moves were flowless and perhaps he didn't realize this but they only practiced on love songs. It was evident the great Frank Tazz had his heart stolen by a sexy damsel because they knew he couldn't have settled for less.And all that begged one question, who one earth was she? They were however not in a hurry to know because he was going to tell them. Human beings are social creatures and most of the time we can't resist the urge to share the good things that are happening to us...that's why social media is full of happy pictures of people on vacations and trips abroad and rarely those that depict suffering or lack of enough."Am leaving early today.

Despite the unending stress of life brought solely by the man she referred to as her husband Elsie didn't hesitate to do her job well to the required standards. As a result of her competence George already had the loopholes that were leaking his cash in the companies and although she was just doing her job she felt a bit sad for the employees who got fired and those who were suspended as further investigations were underway. "You know embezzling funds from the company is not a very good thing, relax" Lisa was there to help her get through the guilt, "if anything you're doing the rest of us a favor, the money that is embezzled should have been used to increase our salaries""What if this is their only job?""They should have known that before engaging in that selfish act" she seemed remorseless and I gave Elsie that breather she much needed."You're right"To help her further Lisa changed the topic of discussion, too bad she changed it to a more uncomfortable one."So how did that 007

The Woodley’s were ready for work after a healthy delicious breakfast. All of them except Lewis who was both horny and angry having yet spent another night “all on his own” tossing on his massive bed. Being a lady’s man, he had vowed to never wank again...yeah again because he had wanked most of his life while trying to avoid women and focus on his goals especially in college where he was broke. But then he had money and could sleep with anyone he wanted. To him the society was to blame, the same society that had busy taught girls that a man was worthless without money wanted them to remain loyal after they finally managed to have a few coins to their name. Anyway, he could also not order for a hooker, one because it was going to be disrespectful to his dignity and that of the family and also, he couldn't tell who wanted to harm him or those that claimed to be related to him and two, now this one he should have seen it coming. He couldn't leave the compound late at night, his father'

Cub scorpion was not as fun as he expected it to be. After gobbling a couple of beers and having a cheap meaningless banter with his friend jimmy Frank asked Wade to leave. Him on the other hand was having fun despite the boring emotionless modern music blaring the speakers but since Frank was his boss wade had no option but to cut short his fun and drive them home. The city was lighting up in different neon and argon lights making it look shiny like a distant galaxy. Hundreds of cars hooting and going in different directions. Frank had his mind roaming far and wide but one particular thing was eating him up. How to tell Elsie that he wanted her for himself with no apologies. Like just walk up straight to her and let his lips and the warmth of his mouth do the talking. Then after the kiss hold her hand and let his heart melt as the words leave his mouth. Wade was thinking perhaps he wasn’t feeling okay or that conversation with his dad didn't go so well. Either way it was within his

Tension could be felt in the room, Tom was frozen his hand behind his back, he had changed to his home clothes. A pair of khaki shorts and grey polo T-Shirt. He had no idea what was going on although he could tell that Lewis didn't look so happy. For a number of reasons really but one loud one was his presence there. Yet he was no stranger to Lewis, he knew how to handle him at all times."Should I come some other time?" Tom finally found the long-awaited coordination between his brain and his tongue. "What's going on here?" Lewis asked the most awkward but much expected question, neither Elsie nor Tom was surprised that he did ask that. And yeah, they knew what he was insinuating by such. His allegation would have held some water were it not for the fact that he was seeing her best friend."Nothing, don't make a big deal out of this. Tom is here to see me""See you? And you have the nerve to say he is here to see you and I'm the one who's supposed to leave!" His voice was high pitch

All the Woodley’s except Lewis were enjoying a glass of milk in the parlor. It was a quarter to seven a bit late but you couldn't blame any of them who didn’t have a driver like Tom that knew how to beat the busy traffic. Surprisingly even George himself came in late, they found Elsie at home already helping the kids with homework, something none of them could do. It was one big happy family, and as the banter got more interesting, Joe stole Elsie away from the crowd. It had been long since the two of them had a chat, now that she knew him well she wasn't scared of facing him. But he was afraid of what she could bring on the table despite her calmness."What do you want Joe?""I come in peace" he said rising his arms in the air, a cool smile across his face that was not fooling her. She was well aware how quick he would have made it disappear. "What a joke? Last I checked you, me and peace can't co-exist""It's time to loosen up a little bit because we have a problem"It all sounded

The blackmailer watched on as the leaking with confidence Elsie laughed to her last teeth. She went to her pocket and retrieved a beautiful white flowery handkerchief. "Sorry" she said wiping tears of joy from her face, joy because she was like a student who got to see the test before sitting for it. Everything was going on as Tom said it would, “I have no idea what you're talking about here. If you want some money work hard for it or you can beg""I didn't come here to be insulted. You forget you're here alone" he said going to his pocket, showed her a knife and she also remembered he mentioned something about them being a team. "Ooh, yeah that's right. I'm sorry but we are both wasting each other's time here. You're accusing me of something I didn't do""Don't act smart with me. You know what? Just got an idea""I hope it helps both of us stop wasting time" "No, you know the price tag had just gone up. Now I'll be asking for half a milli. You can afford it by selling jewelry alon

That evening after work Elsie quickly went to check on George, she wanted permission to go run an errand, but we both know she wanted to go for that meeting with the blackmailer, sounds awkward and stupid but after thinking deliberately about the whole thing she decided to rise to the occasion and face her own demons, nothing was going to happen if she just sat there and expected her problems to disappear. She was going to take the bull by the horns and snatch her peace back. "Don't stay out late, you heard the conversation at the table" George said without making eye contact, it seemed as though he was going to be there for quite some time. To some extent she pitied and wanted to help, but you can't pour from an empty cup. The only way she could help him was if she didn't have problems of her own."Sure, I might be able to help tomorrow""You worry too much about me kiddo" he raised his gaze, "Too much to an extent my own son thinks you're trying to replace him""He was just angry,

It was another fine Monday morning at the Woodley manor. Everyone was awake and active the children were preparing for school and the adults for work. Despite the small altercation with Lewis the Weekend had been great and it was not going to affect the vigor with which they were going to approach their various duties. Feeling left out was Lewis because whilst everyone was busy getting ready for work he was still in his pajamas looking on, he also felt jealous but again he had no one to blame except himself...not exactly what he thought. He blamed all of them. Anyway, on his way out to swim and sunbath the whole day, sleep was also on his schedule, he found Joe trying to help Andy get it together. Hilarious to him."You got this babe, this is just like any other office you've held. I can go with you if you like""No, I'll be good. They'll think am hiding behind you""Then tell me how I can help""You already believe in me, right? That's all I needed to hear""Go
