Leilani walked into the kindergarten meeting room, disrupting the meeting, which started about thirty minutes ago and dragging all attention to herself.
She smiled, looking at the eyes of the patents, especially the mothers who seemed to be stunned by her breathtaking beauty and aura. Leilani would have easily walked in through the back door, but she decided to enter through the front door, which was directly close to the stage where everyone had their attention. She had gone through a lot at Dérévé and spent a lot for no one to notice her or her outfit.
Leilani smiled even harder, bowing gradually to the young lady who was addressing the parents before she entered.
"Sorry, I'm late, I had an emergency to attend to," Leilani said, finally approaching her. She didn't bother to go into details with the emergency she had since she already guessed the lady would obviously think it's a work emergency.
"Welcome, Mrs....?" Dean Jane as
It has been over a week since Leilani attended the Heritage kindergarten opening meeting, and still no phone calls from angry parents or the school complaining about the dissatisfaction they felt because of the scene Leilani created. Every member of the family was stunned, but none was as stunned as Diane and Mrs Madeleine. Leilani had quite the reputation of messing up everything and creating a huge mess. She had low self-esteem, so she would always stammer when talking to others, even those of a lower class than her, which made everyone make jest of her and call her a chicken mum.Diane was expecting to receive the news about Leilani and probably carry her signature name "Chicken Mum" over to the next school, but Leilani seemed to have managed to scale her way out in one piece. Mrs Madeleine, on the other hand, was particularly angry. She had practiced so many curse words to use on Leilani when the news of the mess she created comes in. She had plans of shaming her in front
Leilani stared deeply at the seat Diane had occupied and chuckled. She had spent the entire week investing her time and energy thinking of the possible things she could do if Diane came up with a flimsy excuse for not giving her back her shares and out of the many things she thought, starting her own line of business topped the chart besides she had the knowledge of the future which could help her know the business to invest on, but that wasn't enough. Her knowledge of the future was vital and important, but she needed more than that if she was going to fight the Russell family and Diane and win the war. The plan was good, but it would be perfect if she had some sort of alliance, a group of rich friends, or rather acquaintance and then a muse for the public to see while she stirred things up from behind. That was the only way she could succeed easily without dragging much attention to herself, especially the attention of the Russell family.Leilani exhaled deeply, staring into her ph
Leilani walked out of the Tarrot shop with the words of the shaman lingering in her mind. She had thought her knowledge of the future was all she needed, but then, there was still a lot of work that still needed to be done, to he sure she and her children didn't suffer the same fate as they did in their previous life.She stood motionless and her eyes fixed on the tarot shop as the Shaman's voice echoed deep into her head. "You are either alive or dead. The path your life takes depends on the choices you make. You were given a second chance to correct your mistakes and navigate your life better, but whether you would continue to live or die, depends on how well you do, but remember, what is bound to happen will happen, there are certain events that can't be truly avoided no matter how well you navigate your life, it is simply at every route you take and it must happen, that is what you call fate, it can never be changed but then, there is one thing that can be changed, that is the per
"It is called glioblastoma." Dr Chad paused as his eyes scanned the facial expression of the woman who seemed to be in her late thirties. Her face was whitish and pale and had no subsequent expression."You have a multifocal glioblastomas and they are the cause of your dizziness and vomiting, we will need to perform a biopsy to determine whether the tumor is malignant or benign and also to know the location" he explains further pointing at her brain chat from his computer.Leilani stared deeply at the computer for a while before looking up to look at the worried face of the doctor. "I see," she said coldly, causing a frown to appear on the doctor's face. He chuckles, wondering if she understood a word he said, he wasn't expecting such response from her."Do you have any family you can call?" Dr Chad asked. "Perhaps a husband?" He added, taking notice of the gold wedding band on her fingerLeilani flashed him a half smile and nodded her head. "Offcourse, I do have a husband, I have a v
"Richard?" Diane called, reaching for her cloth. Her voice was shaking, and her eyes fixed on the door. "Who is there?" She panicked, glancing at Vincent. Richard had traveled for a business trip and won't be back till Friday, which was why she had the guts to bring in Vincent to her home and not the usual hotel room."Richard?" Diane called again, just then the door swung open, revealing the face of the intruder."Sugar?" Diane gasped with her eyes and mouth wide open in shock. "How did you get here? What are you doing here?" Diane asked, shocked.Leilani stared at the both of them one after the other, not sure what to make of what she just heard and witnessed. "Are you cheating on me?" Leilani asked, staring deeply at Vincent, who just glanced at her and scoffed. "Why? Are you trailing me now?" He asked. He had no atom of rumor or pity in his tone."What? Trailing? Do you think that's the right response to my question?" Leilani asked, trying so hard to fight the tears clustered in
The alarm clock rang again, this time louder than the first time. Leilani Seymour frowned, murmuring some words as she stretched her hand to switch off the alarm clock. she paused for a while before shooting her eyes open, surveying the familiar room from her memories. "Where am I?" "No, why am I here?" She asked, correcting her initial question. Her mind flashed back to the accident scene, which in turn brought shock and goosebumps all over her body."Am I dead?" She asked, her eyes still scanning every corner of the room. She froze as her eyes found a picture hanging above the gigantic couples bed."Why is this here?" Leilani asked, staring deeply at her family portrait. She was particularly focused on her twins' smiles, which cause a tear to drop from her eyes as she remembered the last day she set her eyes on her kids.It was a bright Monday morning. The Russell family just finished having breakfast, which she had prepared, and all of a sudden, Vincent refused to take the twins
A satisfactory smile spread across Leilani's almond shaped lips as she glanced at the reflection of herself from the standing mirror. She looked young and very healthy, of course she should be, she had met Vincent when she was eighteen, a year later they got married."Which would I prefer, when I was 39, useless, hurt, betrayed and on the verge of death or now that I am 24, healthy, strong and with every knowledge of the future, something I need to take full control of my life," She paused to stare at her ringing phone.'Sugar..... speaking of déjà vu' Diane Timmer, her suppose best friend, sugar, soul mate, and better half. She meant everything to her even more than what her own husband Vincent Russell meant to her, but yet, she betrayed and stabbed her in the back as if she meant nothing to her.Leilani shrugged, smiling even harder. "I prefer the later. It's more sophisticated and even more interesting," She grabbed her phone and scrolled to the contact list, and just like when s
Diane grabbed the spoon, forcing a smile. She didn't want anyone, most especially Leilani or Mrs Madeleine, to know she was upset about what had just happened. She was used to being the jovial and sweat one, the one loved and dotted on by Mrs Madeleine, and she can't just bear to be in the position of the pathetic and rejected one, that was Leilani's spot and it suited her perfectly well.Diane was good at pretenses. She was able to pull off the forced fake smile for quite some time as she served the stew for herself and Vincent but just as she was about covering the stew, Mrs Madeleine asked her to serve her as well since she was already doing it. Diane almost lost her cool with her, but she kicked right back in, smiling and nodding her head."Sure, mother," Diane smiled, reaching for the stew again, but just as she was about to serve Mrs. Madeleine, a portion accidentally poured on her right thumb, burning her. Diane groaned in pain, dropping the spoon forcefully and allowing it to
