Louisa stood before her almost totally broken mirror fidgeting as she applied light makeup on her face and packed her hair into her usual ponytail style.She rushed down to the restroom to use her mint flavoured mouth spray,palmed her hair again and dashed out.It was already 1.40 pm, she checked the time paced to and fro nervously. She stood before her mirror,cleared her throat and did a little rehearsal." Hmm hmm hmm, good day Declan, sounds too simple. Hey Declan, how are you" she said going on and on until she heard the door bell.She quickly ambulated to Danna's room to bid her goodbye and soon was out, she took a deep breath, wore her almost real smile before she finally opened the door."Hey ma'am you look great" Declan said.Louisa stared at him with utmost confusion, he seemed like a total different person, his voice was calm and suiting unlike his previous cold countenance. Louisa turned to look at the back to be sure he was addressing her." Hum..thank you! Sorry if I may
Louisa sat still and watched her as she plodded out the door with her head bowed." How did she manage to cheat time and not age, she looks almost younger than I am" she whispered.After few minutes of staring Louisa exited the the coffee shop with a mixed feeling.The thought of having to leave Danna for such a long time dreaded her but she also desperately needs cash to pay her bills and also for Danna's surgery."Oh Louisa ,I forgot to ask who her son is, I could at least look him up on Google." She said while hitting her head repeatedly.While she headed to the bus station she remembered she had a personal advisor and quickly draw out her mobile. "Hello Louisa!! I've been waiting for you to buzz me, damn I saw that maaad ride! Where did you go, did you go on a date? Did he take you to his home....wait..did you do it?" Chloe rained thousands of questions on her.Louisa shook her head and licked her lip, she made a click sound with her tongue and squinted her eyes before she finall
After about an hour drive Declan finally pulled over infront of a all white painted mansion. He unhooked his seat seat belt and offload Louisa's luggage.Louisa still somewhat confused started at him as he go to and fro till he finally opened her side door." We are here ma'am" He said leaning on the car.Louisa came off the the quickly ready to pounce on Declan." What do you mean we are here? We are by the road side, infront of someone's mantion, I can't even speak loud enough,what if they think we are spys or thieves? This could be a government residential area you know, also last time I check Nat ordered that you bring me to where I am going not half way"After patiently staring at her and listening to her rantings he cleared his throat a took a few steps closer to her, he leaned lower such that their nose we're about an inch away from each other.Louisa's eyes bulged, she blinked her eyes over and over nervously." What..what..are you doing?" She stuttered." Never you dictate ho
Louisa dragged her feet along the streets hopelessly in the freezing cold as her lips shivered from the cold. She looked front and back often hoping to get a cab to convey her to where she knows not.She knew she couldn't go back home,it was too early to be defeated even before the fight begins. She thought of what to say and how to explain her predicament to Chloe and Danna without sounding or looking pathetic.She pulled her bag beside her and sat in a very lonely busstop lost in thought of what to do next with her life." What do I tell Danna? Why do I have to deal with all this humiliation?" She muttered.After about 30 minutes of sitting at the bustop without coming in contact with a single commercial cab or bus she decided to call Declan." Hey Declan I don't think I am best for the job, I'm out in the street can you at least send me a cab " she said almost in tears." Give me some minutes" Declan responded.In few seconds Declan put Nat on phone.pl" Louisa dear, Declan informe
Louisa sat on the succulent foam bouncing on it, she rubbed her hand over the surface of the cotton duvet and closed her eyes fantacising how good it will feel to sleep in it and smiled brightly, after examining the bed she navigated her way the bathroom.A mini jacuzzi sat in the center of the bathroom, with her mouth gaped she walked slowly rubbing her palm against the marble ceremic wall tiles. She leaned beside the jacuzzi, had a quick feel of it. Before she rolled her eyes over the bathroom that Louisa felt could serve as a whole apartment.Surprisingly, She fell in love with the room Melvin had allocated to her out of hatred. In Melvin's view, the room was clustrophobic ,untidy and stuffy enough to drive any human nut, hence it seemed it perfect to make Louisa stay a more miserable experience till she decides to leave herself.Still observing her new environment she heard the buzzing of the table phone and rushed to take the call. She picked the receiver swiftly,pressing it har
Three days laterDay roll into days and Louisa determinely scaled through each hell of a day under Melvin's roof.She sat before the mini writing desk with her diary and pen around 9 pm scribbling roughy in her diary." Congratulations Louisa you scaled through to day four, five days to the big event"She laid her pen gently beside her diary, interlocked her hand and gently placed her head on the deskMelvin had made sure she was too busy with chore such that she had no time to strategize how to make sure Melvin attentend the family dinner.She pulled out her phone and opened her search engine"How to make an anti social attend a social gathering" she typed and long pressed the search button.Before she could get her response ,her mobile phone buzzed repeatedly. Louisa tightened her eyes shut."Dear God let the the devil sleep out as promised, he already said he's not returning today, let it be so please" she muttered.She gradually opened and eyes to reach for her mobile." Oh it's
Louisa sat at the edge of her bed lost in thought of the previous night. She clentched her nails into the duvet and shit her eyes tightly.She had quietly gotten out of his bed, picked her stuffs and walked on the tip of her toes back to her room.While reminincing her hot romance with Melvin she grit her teeth and felt some tingles in her cookie." Damn it Louisa , don't be a whore" she muttered.She wished she could hate herself, yes, she wanted to, but surprisingly was grateful she had that moment with him instead. it was it was the best she had ever had, not even Alexis had ever given her such height of orgasm.After about an hour, she dashed to the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for the day's duty.While at it, the table phone rang and she happily sprang to the get the call, she stood in front of the phone stared at it for a while, smiled and reached out for the receiver." Hello Mel--"" Report to my chamber immediately" Melvin ordered and ended the call immediately."How.
Louisa looked directly into his eyes without faltering. She deduced as usual few loop hole, that left his heart emtpy through his already weakening gaze but she was determined to serve him a bit of his poison." I said sit down and let's talk!" She repeated.Melvin held her chin and raised it up." Do you realize who you're talking to?" He questioned." Of course I do, You are Melvin Hunter, a stolid, deadpan,impassive and cold blooded human I've ever met, selfish and heartless is an understatement of what you are. New flash, Melvin is definitely not the one paying my wage, now I need you to get your ass on the chair" she said audaciouslyMelvin slammed his hand on the table andvturned back swiftly as he plodded towards his room." What is it that you hate most? Scandal that could sink your reputation beneath the sea? If no then you can proceed" she ordered.Melvin plunged towards her in rage" Are you threatening me in my own house?" He asked" Well if that is what you wish to call i
" Come here Kyle!" Natalie yelled at the top of her voice." catch me if you can granny" little Kyle replied while running around the garden.Louisa, Melvin and hunter and watched how Natalie and and Kyle ran around the house and chuckled." How can he be so energetic, see him stressing my darling wife"" Your darling wife needs some exercise Dad, you should be thankful to my son, he's only making sure your wife is fit" Melvin stated while they all laughed." I cannot believe three years have passed already, three years of our unending love, and Kyle..he's just growing up so fast that it scares me Melvin, soon he's going to leave us, my son..our son--" Louisa said while staring passionately at little Kyle." Wow , wow ,wow! Honey come over here, come listen to your daughter , you see she's scared Kyle is growing so fast, and very soon he'd leave them to take a wife and then they'd be alone just like us"Natalie walked round the table to pick a chair close to Louisa, then pulled her
Melvin slid his fingers in between Louisa's, while looking directly into her eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off her for few seconds, this time it lasted more than seconds, he was lost in her pupils, they both looked into each other's eyes passionately, professing their love arrongantly with their gaze."Hmm hmm hmm" the counselor cleared her throat to get their attention." We are at the end of your counsel already love birds, I could feel the heat from your burning love and desire, but do not forget all I said. The place of sacrifice and commitment. With that in mind you are good to go"" Thank you, we will leave now, we have quite alot to work on " Melvin said then he helped Louisa up and guarded her out the door.It was a short drive back home and Melvin and Louisa were surprised at how fast things were in place." Mel? Don't you think this people have some super powers?" Louisa asked sarcastically." of course they do, our happiness gives them strength" Melvin replied and they bo
Louisa sat akimbo behind the curtain robbing both her palms against each other." Calm down Louisa, you can do this, you definitely can, you waited your whole life for this day. Now it's time to make momma proud, do it for mum Louisa" she repeatedly muttered to herself.The sound of the speaker, cheers of the audience and the hype of the master of occasion filled her ears." Now ,it is time to bring to you, the new star whose voice you all fell in love with before meeting her, are you ready?? Texas are you ready!!!!!!!!!!"" Yes we are are!!!!!" The audience chorused.Now Louisa couldn't stop fidgeting, her heart pounded heavily and her lips got jittery. Anxiety slowly crept up her veins."Louisa are you ready ?you are about to be called upon? Go and rock the stage!" Melvin cheered " Melvin, no no,I don't know what's happening to me, I don't think I can do this , Melvin I shouldn't have nurtured such dream when I don't even have the courage, I'm such a coward what do I do now? My pa
" boss! Boss! Boss! There's something you should see" a worker said while running after Melvin who was already close to exit post..Melvin halted instantly with a raised borrow, he turned towards his finance secretary who was panting profusely, he couldn't help but worry, what could be the issue again? No, the last thing he wanted was a bad news, he should at least accompany Louisa home to relax peacefully.Before the financial secretary could reach him, he sighted a couple of his board members troop in all smiling sheepishly at Louisa." Oh Louisa dear! I'm so glad you're back, the best decision we made was to make you the face of the company. Hope it wasn't too thought over there?" Said Mr Dias." Dear you look really emancipated, the food over there must have tasted bad, when will you be able to resume duty? You see everyone loves you now ,you're the new star and you have indeed come to limelight" Mr Johnson said with an awkward smile.Melvin pulled Louisa closer, then clenched his
Things were really getting out of hand.Jay sighed, not for the first time, as he shifted from foot to foot. He was now tending to the fires that were slowly dying, trying to keep it up for much longer as the nighttime was all around him. With the sunset, had come the loss of warmth, and also the sounds of the forest waking up.The weary Alpha, still searching for his missing daughter, put more kindling into the fire, feeding it and tending to it. He needed to make the kindling last until the next hours as he rested for a bit, and before then, this fire could not under any circumstance, go off.Once he was fairly certain that the fire was not going to be dying anytime soon, Jay sat back on the log of wood he had been occupying for the past few hours.The sounds of crickets chirping and the nocturnal animals waking up caused Jay to mutter under his breath.He never had been very comfortable with staying out in the woods in this way, and he tried to avoid it at all costs before. Now, ho
Silence dominated the court room, that one would think voice is a crime. Tension, anxiety and fear peaked at each breath they took. At that point the judged dropped his pen, loosened his collar and relaxed.In a way it seemed everyone in the court room was connected to the case, including the judge. It was time to know how he was fooled by a teenage girl, why he almost gave up on practising law and why on a second thought he vowed to punish all criminals severely.Two hours had past but he was determined to end the case, and it unexpectedly was getting interesting.With his gaze still fixed on Scarlett who already looked miserable. Her eye were red and puffy, her nose ran like a fountain, and her lips wouldn't stop shaking. She looked pitiful but ironically didn't get any sympathy. The judge thought to give her time to get herself together, he thought she needed space to drown in her own self made ocean of pain and agony, however he was losing patience, he didn't have all the day and
" ghost ghost, he's a ghost! Why are you hunting me, I didn't kill you, I know nothing about your death, so why the the hell are you after me!! " Scarlett shrieked while pointing towards the door. Her lips shivered ,her face turned red, and her chest burnt. Her fear slowly fed on her, ripping her apart from within, at each tick if the clock, she died a little inside. Her imagined victory hymn evaporated and replcaced with a desperate quest for survival."Fuck money, the court can have all of it,it was people's money anyway. F* ck fame, I really don't care about it anymore, I just wanna survive, I need to survive! All have to do is think if a way to escape, I need to reach my house ,grab my passport then leave the states,I shouldn't have come back to Texas in the first place, my return Was a big mistake" she thought." Your honour,this is Mr Asher, can you please climb the witness box" the defense questioned while pointing to the box " Mr Asher what is the relationship between you a
Alexis immediately removed his tux and flung it sideway, he didn't need to die before experiencing his hell, his hell was right before him in form of a human.His shirt drenched in sweat and his tongue dried up and got twisted in his throat." Damn it, the table has turned, I messed with the wrong person this time, I have been defeated in my own game, how do I get out of this uncatched. I have to find a way to leave the courtroom before mentions my name. Damn it!!! Alexis, I should have used another lawyer and listen from home, I would have been able to excape without being noticed.What do I now? Think Alexis think, Scarlett, I should reach Scarlett, we just need to get out of this God damned hell."He slowly pulled out his mobile phone, then sent a text message to Scarlett who was already at the court entrance." You may go in ma'am, but as instructed you might not be able to go out until the end,as the judge has before hand warned all incoming speculators against rowdy court room"
Natalie's lungs tightened, as the air in the courtroom suddenly seemed toxic for her. All that was happening to her because of Louisa anyway, the last day had finally arrived. The day Louisa fate would be decided, tension slowly creep up her temple" Finally the murderer will be revealed, and she would be thrown in jail where she belongs" a speculator said angrily.Natalie, Chloe and Melvin sprang up on seeing Louisa dragged in by an officer, Louisa scanned the audience briefly till her eyes fell Melvin, then she smiled weakly.It was obvious, despite trying to cover it,she was in pain and it feeds on her beautiful soul."Damn it, I should have just ended it right from the start, I was just bothered about catching them both, I wasted too much time and she has suffered so much. She looks emanciated. When all this is over I will sue those officer that didn't let her receive any visitor" he thought then smiled weakly before he slowly lowered himself into his seat..Alexis walked in grac
