His Boss's Partner The Accident.
“Yeah! Bye! Take care!” I replied still trying to sound as natural as possible. I feigned a fake smile just to cover up even more, I watched him take the left turn before heading back to my position to continue listening to the phone conversation I was on.“Is it just me or was Anna faking a smile?” I insinuated, as we walked home. “Oh come off it!” I snapped “What were you expecting her to put up? A real smile? For that pretend of a thing you and Mark have going on? By the way nothing about him looked fake to me.” Rita said on the phone.“He doesn’t know how to pretend, if he was upset, infuriated or what not, he’ll show it“ I concluded.I kept listening eagerly as we walked on. The conversation seemed to get more heated with every passing second. “I’m thinking we should just eliminate him, why stress when we could just kill him” Rita suggested in almost a whisper as I heard her lit a stick of cigarette.Upon hearing this my heart missed a beat, I didn’t know how much time they had

“I was trying to not hit him when I crashed into the side light.” They went on and on asking questions that seemed unnecessary to me, finally the questioning came to an end.“Well noted Miss Anna, thank you. We’ll get across to you if we have anymore questions.” Before the last word could leave the head officer’s mouth. Anna’s supposed father came rushing in.“Baby! How are you? I came rushing down here as soon as I heard what happened! How serious is your condition?” he said, obviously concerned. It was very clear that he loved her dearly, she was his daughter so why not!"“I’m better Father, how’s the company and who’s in charge now?” In almost a frown she waited impatiently for her father’s reply.“The deputy is functioning as Acting CEO for now. Health is wealth baby. Please get well, that’s what matters now.”“I know Dad, I just asked an important question” with that she lay down and rolled over to the other side-facing James. He stared lovingly at her. I could still see she was

"Trying to prove strong huh?" I heard Mark's voice say from behind me. "Proving strong? I don't understand. Why should I try to prove to be something I already am?" I said, trying to hide how pained I was at everything.He walked away slowly, as I kept my gaze fixed on my computer. I was indeed trying to be strong. Mark's words got to me. But I wasn't about to show any iota of weakness.A flood of tears bubbled on the inside of me, eager to gush out. I fought my tears, swallowing saliva as if that could dry the flood of surging tears.I prayed the day would run by, it did eventually. I was drenched in my own emotions. I needed to clear my head, when I arrived home, rested, freshened up, I headed to the bar just across the road."Can I snatch you?" A coarse voice said behind me, the baritone sound of his voice sending chills down my spine."Snatch me if you can!" I added, followed by a melodious chuckle. I could already notice he was in awe. "What are you looking at?" I joked, giving h

I and Ria seemed like we didn't get along. But in actuality we were starting to get closer than we were ready to admit. I also loved that she was always ready to help me in different ways.Ria and Rene didn't quite get along, but their father insisted they both run the company. The mansion was outrageously beautiful. I could see a little glimpse of attraction in Rene's eyes, but I dismissed that as the normal attraction I received from ladies, I was gorgeous so that was expected.I guessed it'll all fade off with time, so to me it counted for nothing. "Thank you so much, Ria, for honouring my invite," I said to her, casting my glance on them, I greeted them as well.They had finally seen me after walking for minutes into the main hall. I noticed a slight decline in their exciting demeanor, immediately their eyes landed on Doris, my acquittance. The party progressed beautifully.We sat at out table, it was a sumptuous party, so much to eat and drink. But I noticed they were now uneasy

Morris seemed bothered, but we were long gone, I looked back as a queerly dressed man stood behind him, I just hoped he was safe, but now I had to put me first.I made it to my room safely, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about all that transpired at the party. From the dissapointment on Morris's face, upon finding that I didn't come alone, to the invasion.I now had started to have suspicious thoughts towards both of them, this had never happened. The security was very tight. It was impossible to penetrate that level of security, except you had a connection to either of them.Everything was artificial intelligence and the mansion was tightly secured. I wondered, how these men were able to get past the security and knew exactly where to find him.They had even gone directly to the table he'd walked away from, some minutes prior to the time. So he knew, even now he could still be watched by the cruel eyes of whoever was behind all this.I had slight speculations it could be his su

"I'm the oldest Nanny alive, other nannies my age, who tried to prove and show they knew better are all six feet deep. My major aim was to keep them alive by God's grace, I'm glad I achieved that. You are the one in the rightful position to deal with Ard, with their help and serve Ard his karma.""My advice is, don't act like I told you anything, your strength would be that you now know more than they could imagine you know, so now you're acting from a place of knowledge and of course, wisdom." She continued."Marianne, the ball is in your court. Play it well." She concluded, turning around with these last words, as she headed for the door. "Wait, please," I said, weakly."I have one last question to ask. How are you so sure that you don't have much time left to live? And why did you skip my question, the one about other family they might have?" I asked."You said one, now there's two of them, huh?" She chuckled, pasting a motherly smile on her face, looking soberly at me. "They remin

I watched silently as the sound of the ticking clock repeated it's rhymes, I was still in bed and it was almost my wake up time.I had awoken earlier than I used to. This alone seemed to me like a huge sign and indication of something I couldn't even lay my hand on just yet. Shoving my long fingers through my hair, I sat up in my bed, my head drenched in thoughts of all Nadia had uncovered.I wanted so bad to connect the dots, I wanted so bad to have my revenge, even if it meant getting on Mark's side.But I didn't know getting on his side, having my revenge would prove this hard. I pushed myself out of my silky bed into the wash room.As I the showers of water flowed all over my body, it was to me a huge relief. My head ached already, from the raging thoughts I was having.I found myself talking to myself as I had my bath, "You can do this, May, get with Mark, make him a friend, get with Morris if you wish, just have allies that would help you through" I said to myself, wiping my bod

"Yes! I did! And I'm gonna do it again, if you don't take your shitty self else where! You disgust me to say the least!" I let out, getting up and pushing her out of the way."Morris is the only reason I didn't beat the living daylight out of you!" She fumed, arranging her hair that was in disarray."Go on now, fix your hair... And your mouth... And your bad attitude! Because if you don't I would fix it for you!" I let out, standing by my door which was wide open."Get the hell out!" I shouted, looking sternly at her, my heart racing. "I was on my way out. Save your poor self the energy." She insulted, walking out the door."Good!" I let out, slamming the door behind her, I ran my fingers through my hair, as I paced about in my office, trying to calm myself down.What if she told Morris about the incident? What if this would make me get in their bad books ? So many thoughts raced through my head, I felt like my head would explode.I sat in my chair, deep in thoughts, immediately I rem

You'll be dead when I return. And when I'm back, you wouldn't like how your story would end!" He let out, as I heard him walking away. The police arrived almost immediately he walked off."Hello, Avia." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. "He might come for you, just like he did me. He even had a bunch of spare keys! Luckily for me, I guess the key didn't fit!" I exclaimed."Oh my goodness, I think you should move in with us till everything is settled, till he's handed over to the police. You can't play gamble with your life. Because if he kills you, the worst that could happen is him being executed.""But you'll be long dead and gone before then. So you need to try to be as logical as possible." She adviced. "I know. But I also know that staying at your place, that's a different level of inconvenience. I don't want to put you through that." I said."Not in this life or another, would you ever inconvenience me. Please never say that again, you are a sister to me and you prov

"Do you feel better now?" I heard her mother ask her. "Better, mother." She said, weakly, looking around, as if still feeling like they were still being watched or followed."I'll be on my way now, Avia. Please get well soon." I said, getting up to leave. I knew I had overstayed and my job might be paying for that soon. "That's... That's... Okay, I'm grateful! Thanks you so much for staying around!" She said, her voice now shaky."Oh come off it, stop now or you're gonna make me tear up too." I said, getting emotional already. "I have to say what's on my mind. I didn't see it coming at all. How you were there for me. Fought and defended me." She said."That's just how I am, and you're not an enemy of course." I said, "What would you have rather had me do? Stay there and watch you die?" I joked, "now come over here!" I said, as we embraced each other.We held each other tightly for the following seconds, soaking in our emotions and just being grateful that she was alive."Thank you."

His Boss's Partner Death Calling
"Is there really anything good about the afternoon?." He replied, not bothering that someone else was now in the room. "How may I help you?" I asked, spiting him, "oh you!" He said, in composed excitement. "What a small world." He said, under his breath, not knowing that I heard him."She?" I asked, pointing in her direction, "yeah. If I get what you mean." He answered, a pale countenance sweeping through his face. "Okay?" I asked, "why are you here?" I asked, looking squarely at him."Is there a rule that says I can't?" He asked, goofingly. "I expect you to know that." I said coldly, "you have overstayed your welcome. You can now use the door." I said."You're in no position to order me around," he said. "But I am, this is a health facility. I'm in charge, and I now inform you, you have overstayed your welcome." The doctor said from behind us.He turned slowly, walking out in a cold manner. "How did he even get in here in the first place?" The doctor asked, turning to face me. "I don
His Boss's Partner Her Past's Return
Almost immediately, the doctor arrived, he was checking Avia with his stethoscope, she was now calm and stabilized. It looked strange that she had begun to convulse, after being confirmed okay by the doctor."She's stabilized now." He let out, heading out, "please hold on, Doctor, what... What if the convulsion starts again?" I asked, my heart racing within me. "She won't, he replied dismissingly.I watched her intently, counting her breathe, hoping the convulsion wouldn't start again. She seemed to be sleeping sweetly, it however got strange and weird when she had been sleeping for the following hours.I was now concerned and had to call the doctor's attention. Her family were still there too. "She's in stable condition," he said, sure."But she's been sleeping for too long now." I asked, concerned, he went on, checking her pulse repeatedly, she still looked like she was asleep. At this point we could already sense everything wasn't okay."Doctor! What's the matter," I asked, frantic
His Boss's Partner Sad Reminisce.
"I can't forget the sweet mother she was to us. She showed us so much love and motherly care. Loosing her was a huge blow to all of us. So I was taken aback when my father seemed happy about her passing." He explained."At rare times, he tried to feign mourning her, which didn't work because he wasn't one to pretend. So it was always crystal clear what he thought or felt." He explained."The scariest part is that I walked in on him, on a phone call, he was talking about a body. I left almost immediately when I noticed he didn't see me walk in and listened on. I didn't want to draw any conclusions based on what I heard, but I feel he was talking about a human body.""My goodness! What human body??" I asked, frantic. "Any chances it could be Nadia's?" I asked, not letting him land. "It just might be. The voice he was speaking with on the phone appeared to be a woman's voice." He added."A woman's voice?" I exclaimed, "how were you close enough to hear this and not close enough for him t
His Boss's Partner Quit or Run?
"I apologize sincerely!" I let out, trying to avoid hitting more persons. My eyes met those of the voice I was hearing."Mark!" I exclaimed, "what are you doing here?" I asked, stretching out my hand for a handshake. "Oh, not something I'll want to talk about." He said, as we shook hands, his facial expression changing."You look sad all of a sudden, what's the matter?" I asked, as we slowly moved to a chair close by to sit. "There's no matter." He lied, pointing his nose. "Yeah, go on, you need to do exactly what you're doing now." I said, casting a goofy glance at him."Do what?" He asked, looking intently at me. "Point your nose. You know what happens to Pinocchio huh?" I joked, looking squarely at him. "Oh there you go! Goofy you!" He let out, laughing. "You look better, happy." I said, looking intently at him."Oh.... Yeah, who doesn't?" He said, nervously, adjusting his shirt which wasn't disarranged. "You look bothered, and you know you're not good at hiding things like these."
His Boss's Partner The Know
"You should ask someone else, I know nothing. You have no right whatsoever to hold me hostage, I'm as innocent as the word innocent. Let me go!" She let out.She looked modest, no one would imagine she could have such a wicked heart. She was also soft spoken,so it was very hard to tell she was a goofy lady, who enjoyed seeing others in pain.As we conversed, speaking about some painful scenarios, including the pain Nadia might have undergone, seeing what the autopsy was showing, she seemed to enjoy talking about the pain of others, and that was a very bad sign, a huge indicator that something was wrong somewhere."Of course we'll let you go, after you've answered all needed questions." The officer insisted. "I committed no crime." She said, "What happened to your friend? That's all we want to know." He asked. "She was suicidal." She let out, in an unreal manner."Suicidal? Is that all you knew about your friend?" He asked, we'll be taking you to the station now for further questioning
His Boss's Partner The Catch.
"My mind was beclouded by the fact that she was in pains, she was suffering from a terminal disease like I told you." I explained, looking queerly at him. "That's just a lead, we need to get to the root of the matter." He added, looking intently at me."I spoke with her bosses, those she worked for, and they said she was very fine the day before." I said, I could see through to the fact that he wasn't satisfied. "I know that Nadia was ill, but I don't know of any complaint from work. She enjoyed her work as much as I knew.Days had now passed and I hadn't seen Mark at the office. His father, now had two offices, his and theirs. I wanted to ask what the problem was but I didn't even know where to start from or how it'll come off to him, so I let it slide.I received a call from a strange number. I was glad and sure it might be Mark, "Hello, May dear, how are you doing?" The voice asked. "I-I am okay, who's on the phone please?""This is Nati, I know you don't know me but I really need t
His Boss's Partner Silent Screams.
"Can you kindly let me know why you are in my office?" He asked, I noticed his shirt looked like it was hurriedly arranged, and she looked like she was drawn down from a mountain, just when she was close to it's peak."I would love to speak with you and your brother." I let out, impressed at myself at how easily I was able to cook up something."Hmmm... That's huge, I hope no problems?" He asked, his eyebrows raised, as he adjusted his shirt better. "Not at all. Just family business. I'll want to be speaking with the both of you, alone." I said, with emphasis on the word 'alone', throwing disgusting glances at her."Alright. Honey would you please excuse us for the moment?" He said to her, I watched satisfyingly as she pushed herself out of the office. She didn't want to go, but she had no choice."The floor is yours now, so please go on. I'll send a staff to get my brother, right away." He said, "okay, even better. I'll be waiting." I added, taking a seat.In no time Mark was in the
