"Good day ma'am ,report has it that Mr Hunter is yet to resume work today" Declan reported to NatalieShe surprisingly and worriedly and worriedly sprang up from her sit, she turned her wristwatch to check the time which was few minute to 10amMelvin was a workaholic and often times resumes word even before his staffs, he doesn't tolerate lateness and always work strictly with schedule." What could have happened, God I hope he didn't go back to his old way." she mutteredShe called his home number severally but all was directed to the voice mail. Uneasy, she put a call through to Declan again."Go and check on him immediately" she ordered"he is not at home ma'am, he didn't sleep home" Declan stated.The news got Natalie more tensed, she rubbed her hands against each other as she paced around."Scarlett!! Have you come back to disrupt my peace? To ruin my son's life? I will stop you by all means" she cried out." Melvin never sleeps out, he never does, he never does" she kept repeat
The city was blue and traffic hits the road leading to the event center. The return of Scarlett had spread across the city like wildfire within and outside texas and many young adults looked up to her as she posed as a girl who never gives up on her dream.The party was slated to begin at 8pm but around 6pm Melvin has gone to pick Louisa from the hospital himself."Hy Danna, I got you another flower, thought the previous one might have withered, permit me to lend your sister for the night, i mean as my date tonight, I'd bring her back tomorrow morning" he promised.Louisa's eyes bulged and her jaw dropped"It was you? You got someone a flower?" She asked but got totally ignored.Danna smiled weakly and nodded her head in concention, she signaled him to come closer with her hand and he leaned lower to listen to her." What is your name" she whispered"Call me Melvin" he responded."Uncle Mel" she called and chuckled brightly.Louisa moved closer to them, staring at Melvin's face like
Louisa paced restlessly at the entrance of the theater room while oftentimes bending to peep through the transparent glass at the entrance before the curtain was pulled. few minutes later Chloe came rushing in breathing heavily." Louisa, I'm sorry I'm a bit late, how's it going? Is she out" she askedLouisa simply waved her head and leaned on the wall almost in tears. She tensed up and her pulse increased on seeing any doctor walk out of theater room. Danna voice kept resounding in her head." I promise to be fine Louisa, I'd definitely make it out" she saidLouisa clucthed her cloth firmly pulling them tight as she muttered few inaudible words.3 hours later the doctors walked out in pairs engroosed in a serious discussion. Louisa sprang up from her sit and plunged towards the last doctor walking out who was also the head doctor." How's my sister? Is she okay? Can she walk?" Louisa inquired impatiently." Ma'am, the surgery was successful but ..we cannot be sure of the result just
"Why is it that girl!!, Who the heck is she? I need to know find out more about her" Louisa muttered as she plodded down the stairs and headed to her car. Earlier on, after trailing Melvin to the hospital, she hid behind a huge waste bin. Her eyes were covered with a very dark shade and around her head she wrapped a big scarf that exposed only a small part of her head. She wore a black coloured nose mask and was sure to leave her bag in the car, she knew she shouldn't be doing it , she could be seen by anyone or even angry fans.From behind the trash can,she saw Melvin lifting Louisa's head and patting her gently, while Natalie smiled mildly. unable to stand the scene she trudged out angrily.She placed her head on the wheel,while the hospital scenes played before her minds eye like a cinema."Natalie has never smiled at me that way, she has hated me right from time, but now she smiles at her, what did I ever do to earn hatred from her?" She muttered and angrily drove off.She weak
Scarlett walked hurriedly towards her buzzing phone, she rummage her bed ,lifting and scrambling her shit in search of her mobile phone."There you are" she whispered and picked it up.Scarlett had drunk her self to stupor the previous night after been threatned by her company if she failed to report in to the studio for recording. On getting home she once again repeatedly dialed the anonymous number but all to know avail, dejected and miserable she visited her home stocked mini bar and drowned herself in pool of alcohol."Hello, who is on the line" she asked."Hey, Scarlett it I Alexis I think I have found a solution our plight" Alexis blotted ." Alexis why did u call me, I thought we said we will stick strictly to text. Is Jenny not close?"" Worry about your self Scarlett I would text you the venue we will meet" he said and ended the call before Scarlett could say another word."Such a rude human" she whispered and sank into her bed.The creek of her door creeped her out, som
Louisa sat beside Danna frantically staring at her face while she applied one of the treatment the doctor had given her on her leg. Not for once did her gaze falter from her eyes, she needed to see if she could feel her touch on her leg."Louisa you can't give up on me, your gaze are getting weak and your face has become pale, I need your light Louisa, your baby sister needs you to be hopeful" Danna said pitifully.Louisa smiled weakly and pulled her cheek." Don't speak like you read minds chubby tubby, I know you'd be fine, I'm just worried if your hope isn't chattered,this is what you've always wanted, and now we did it but the result is not forthcoming" she said and took a deep breath." Now you can call me a seer, I just read your mind and you confirmed it" Danna teased.While Danna and Louisa talked, Chloe rushed in panting as usual, she dropped her bag on the floor and went straight to kiss Danna on the head." My love how are you doing today, I'm sorry I'm late again, been to
" I have to get him,I must get him, even if that wretched girl has to disappear, he is my Trump card , the only way I get away from Asher" Scarlett muttered while dressing and stormed out immediately after like someone being chased.Fear gripped her heart as she drove along a long, muddy lone road on the outskirt of the city, Initially she was grateful for her lone path, she though he chose right, no one would see her and she was certain she wasn't on the risk of being the news headline the next day.Dawn was turning into dusk, and only the melodies of toads,birds,cricked supported with the mild booming sound of her vehicle filled her ears.There seem to be no end to the road, the farther she drove, the more her heart sank and she drowned in the fear of the unknown. Of course she had every reason to be scared, she had every reason to be on the edge. Her whole existence was built on lies.She nervously picked her phone and called her Alexis." Where in the God damn world are you? I hav
A week after.Dopamine sent tickles round Louisa's body, after Alexis had gone she had never been that happy. Her face lit up and a broad smile danced on her lip, she couldn't hold back her frequent chuckles ." Danna has been transferred to a physiotherapist... She would step her feet on the soil, her chance to explore" she thought and smiledIt was getting late , she needed to prepare and schedule the CEO'S appointment and presentation, hence she should head home.Just as she got outside the hospital, she saw Melvin walking towards the door."Mel..why are you here?" She asked." I got a call from the doctor, heard Danna would be transferred to a physiotherapist,I knew you'd be Happy,so I came to see your face at the same time see Danna, but now that I've seen your face, I think your face will be fine for now" he said.Louisa hopped forward and grabbed his hand ." Where is your car" she asked while they both walked to the car.Melvin pulled over in front of her new apartment,as he w
" 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
