Watching the stars has always been therapeutic to Stacey. Like a peaceful meditation, a moment to connect with the realm of nature above her, and flow with the thoughts. Even in whatever pain, sorrow happiness or calmness she was in. She let the thoughts flow and overwhelm her, like the cause of the stars above.

And this day as she was stargazing, a moment triggered her. Her best friend Linda once asked her if she ever wanted to have kids and apart from her mother who always had something to say about that, her best friend was the one person that asked that and it felt so heavy to answer. 

All her life she had avoided such thoughts she never was the kind of woman who fancied having a child but why was she thinking so much about this, she would wonder why her mind had drifted to such thoughts.

It was a week now and she hadn't seen or heard from Linda, ever since she learned that peter died in a tragic accident that night she felt guilty about it but did not speak about it. It was very late when Linda came knocking at her door she was deep in her thoughts she did not even hear the knock.

Linda walked into the unlocked house in search of Stacey who was at the window smoking as she stared at the stars.

"Hey," She said to her having a seat next to her. Stacey handed her the will she was holding and Linda took a few puffs before handing ut back to her, they would be mad at each other many times but in the end, they would find a way of being friends like they have all the years.

" I think I am pregnant" Stacey began after minutes of silence.

"Is it my brother?"Linda asked her off in her mood just kike Stacey was.

" no, you know we never did and that's why he cheated on me," She said not looking at her.

"How then is that possible nor did you cheat on him?"She asked her back.

" no ut happened that night I am not sure thigh I did ut out of spike and anger and now I feel very guilty, I loved your brother but u might be carrying someone else child that doesn't feel right. I am so fucked up" She said releasing a heavy sigh.

"It's okay we are in this together," Linda said to her moving closer to her and pulling her closer to her.

"I thought you were mad at me," Stacey said to her turning to look at her.

" I can never be mad at you mate," She said hugging her and Stacey began sobbing she was grateful for having such a loyal friend like Linda by her side.

"I am sorry," She said to her and Linda's eyes cringed with tears.

" it's okay we have both lost someone, "She said to her and the two girls spent their night at that place consuming each other, the funeral of Peter was to happen that week. 

Stacey woke late and divided to go to work, she has been taking off and had not been seen at the workplace for quite some time now, nor was she even attending any classes.

She arrived at work and found her boss who appeared very angry at her for coming so late to work.

Stacey was very good with designs and she would make the best of clothes and so her boss had loved her so much for the sales she made in his shoo but this particular day he did not seem pleased with her not reporting to work that week and arriving that day as late as she did.

" Stacey where have you been?"Mr Swahib asked her but she was the well-prepared depth the excuse she was going to give.

"I lost my boyfriend, sir, I have been arranging his burial and it's been really hard to make it to work" she began with a very sad emotional face, what made Stacey appear peculiar was her sweet innocent face but an opposite character of who she was.

That sad face was enough to convince Mr Swahib to allow her to get back to work as nothing happened it had the charms to convince anyone especially if that is what sue intended.

Work was going on we'll she was attending to a lady who had been referred to her when Sandra walked and somehow in her, she felt uncomfortable but when she looked around she spotted Sandra looking as mean as possible and she sighed with a disgusted look on her face.

"Just the lady I was looking for," She said with attitude to her but Stacey ignored her and kept on to her work like she hadn't even seen her she wasn't in the to even begin talking about all this.

"Seems you have been stocking me, but maybe this should give you some peace lady. It was just a one night stand and I haven't seen your man or do I have his number so whatever this is just let it go girl. I am not interested in your man" She said annoyed at her.

"The audacity you have I came to do just what I promised you I will do next time you will think twice before sleeping around with other people's men," she said and then called Mr Swahib as she knew him. Stacey went back to some other business ignoring her but was still observing her from a distance her client had gone inside to try a dress she had admired from the boutique.

"Look here Mr I have only one simple request, I want you to fire this bitch and make sure she leaves without a penny, now!" She said and a glimpse of a red spark went across her eyes. 

Stacey heard her and she let out a small laugh wondering how high this Sandra must be to expect a sweet old man like Mr Swahib to fire her.

Sandra turned to look at her with a grim when Mr Swahib turned into an angry man in a second and ordered her to leave the place before he calls the police on her, for a moment she was startled and was shocked at what was going on trying to understand how all of this was even possible.

"Now it's your turn Stacey I want you to walk out and head straight for a car and make sure it hits you and you die," She said to her with a spark of red in her eyes, Stacey didn't notice it because she was lost in so many thoughts what was even going on but she turned to look at her a girl with anger.

"I just gave you an order you should be on tour now!"Sandra said at her both of them maintaining eye contact.

Stacey looked at her and rolled her eyes at her before slapping her straight to her face.

" Why don't you go and kill yourself instead!!"She said before walking out leaving Sandra to ponder and wonder why the spell had not worked on her. 

It was either something was wrong with her magic or something twisted about Stacey, she thought to herself.

    “how is Sandra?” Andrew asked Justin he had come to his office early that morning and the two had some business they were working for on hours.“she is still healing, she survived,” he said to him and he seemed to be in deep thoughts.“We still need her, it’s a good thing we killed half of them, they won’t be bothering that boy's family. “ he said to him explaining to him that they were still watching that family and protecting them. He and that Unseelie had died upon an order from a fairy so powerful they were killed by the Unseelie who are still bound to the fairy magic.“what does this mean?” he asked him very interested.“mother says we may divide our attention because perhaps the queen is still alive and we are the only ones who can save her, that’s why we need you to still keep in touch,” he said to him and he felt bored at the thought.“I think they may be suspecting me, so I will have to play very low, especially now that she told me she doesn’t want to see me.

    “wow sorry I forgot you were there,” Justin said after the awkward silence that was there before Stacey hurried to leave getting herself in order along the way.“Okay, I see why you want to get off Sandra so fast,” he said to him.“I just met her recently, nothing much,” he said trying to end that conversation about Stacey.“it seems you are forgetting what happened last time you were sleeping around with these girls! I will take care of this we have urgent matters to work on” he said to him before he looked at his watch and walked away leaving. Stacey felt embarrassed walking back to her office, getting herself in order. That went ugly real fast she thought.

    Everyone was shocked when Justin walked in the next day in the middle of the meeting, this was not a meeting like the other meeting where Magdalene was president and other highly esteemed people. It was only members of the family company and those who had shares in the company. Some companies were not branched to the deal signed with Stacey and even the one that was signed with the president. That was because a situation like that which had happened where the president got angry at Magdalene would have really turned bad for them if they had all these companies tied to that deal.The meeting today was called upon since the president had already come after some family-owned companies. They were facing trials and the public had begun questioning their products, they were here to find a solution and find a way through this because the losses incurred would be so huge it may cause all the YMDC to fall.Justin walked in when Tatiana had just begun the meeting since she was the one who was g

    Using her hands she directed her energy towards the great strong silver door, that was bounded by strong magic, to only open for Magdalene, but her power was stronger and all other power bowed down to her power, her fingers curled up together just showing how much force she was using to tear that door open. It creaked with a noisy sound while it spread apart for her to enter. When enough space was created she walked in and before she could look around she had to catch a breath.She lifted her head after breathing for a few seconds her eyes in search of her love, looking at every corner of that black torture room, she had whips from where she stood and her eyes quickly moved in the direction the sound came from. Two humongous men were constantly weeping at his body but he wasn’t even making a single sound and only moved at the force of the whips, he was silent like he was dead. Stacey felt her heart drop when she saw him in that state, the men did not even stop when she walked in they

    After the meeting was over they all gathered for a cup of tea while further discussion went on, Stacey took her cup and walked to where princess Tatian was talking to someone, who walked away and Stacey walked to her before she could move.“Hello princess” she greeted her with a smile on her face.“What was your name again?” she asked intentionally trying to look down on her.“Stacey and I own a larger share in this company are you sure you don’t remember me, Sandra,” she said and she got startled and looked around to see if anyone had heard what she said.“What are you talking about?” she asked her acting like she didn’t have a clue of what Stacey was trying to say.“You know what, I came to see you through the masked face of the princess, I can’t help but wonder where her poor soul is,” she said taking a sip of her coffee.“Anyway, that is none of my concern, congrats on your new position, may I ask where is Justin?” she said trying to act like she did have no intention of exposing

    Realizing they couldn’t beat win a fight with them physically Stacey had a quick thought. “Hold my hand,” Stacey said turning to face Justin, who gave him both his hands, and they both at once released their wing which flapped a protection layer around them, they both had their eyes closed and everything in their head was silent, the guards threw powerful energy towards them but it only hit the protection layer.“Count with me to 3 then release,” she said and they began counting, 1..2..3 and they both flapped their wings which caused a strong power that broke the shield and it spread within seconds all around causing all the guards to fall at once and rendering them unconscious.“They will wake sooner, but they should not remember”“We can do the memory spell on them” Justin suggested and they immediately cast the spell on them and vanished into thin air, they reappeared at Stacey’s apartment but it was at night in the human realm.“That was fun,” Justin said taking a deep breath, i

    “What a nice place for our first date,” Stacey said jokingly at Justin as they had a stroll in the fairy realm they were walking through some trees and headed to a very calm green place.“I wouldn’t my mother catching up to me, she got very angry”“Enough about her, am sure she will calm down, a mother cannot be mad forever at her children,” she said and they changed the topic and began talking about how peaceful the fairy realm was, since every fairy left it, it had perfectly taken care of itself. They were holding hands walking around like some teenage couple, it could be seen how deeply they were in love. They found a perfect spot to sit on which a raised heel top, from there they could see a wide view of the fairy realm to where the fountain was but it could not be seen from there since it was covered by some trees.While they laughed at some silly jokes an Unseelie appeared where they sat and Justin got up so fast and stood in front of Stacey ready to defend her however the Unsee

If it’s possible we can even elope together and start off a new page somewhere peaceful. I know once I break the news to my mother he won’t be very pleased and it may be a conducive place for us” he said explaining to her.“I love you too, just make sure you come to my place, I will send you the address I have some good news for you and we will discuss about everything,” she said and she pulled him closer for a kiss before she left in a hurry.As she rushed out of the palace she saw the president walk in very angry.

Antonio was busy making drawings that were given as his assignment from school, he loved his first day at the school and found everything fascinating he also appeared to be very bright from his interview and they placed him in the special grade where children with high intelligence were placed.“Are you sure you just going to talk” Linda asked her chewing on some snacks laying on Stacey’s bed.“Yeah, that’s all to it, Linda,” she said walking to the bathroom with the shorter dress and Linda laughed at her.“Never thought I would see the day when you are in love again,” she said jokingly at her when she walked back all dressed up and looking as hot as a diva.“Stop saying that, I really wish it could have been different,” she said getting some white-heeled shoes and sitting on the bed to pull them on.“Just stop fighting it”“It’s

Justin was constantly on his phone he was chatting with Stacey and she had stopped responding to his message, so after every few minutes, he would turn to look at his phone.“Are you waiting for some important message son?” Magdalene asked him when she noticed his odd behavior something she did not like especially when they are having meals.“Ye
