1 month laterOne month later"Thank you so much, sir please visit again," I said smiling at the customer while handing him the bag of pastry with coffee.It's been a month, I am working here in the cafe, and trust me this is the most amazing place to work as co-workers are very friendly and I was enjoying very much working here, but honestly said that voice which I encountered that day, owner of that car which I ruined, his deep husky voice was still very deeply settles in my mind with heart and soul, it seems like my peace, my concentration is always focused with a glimpse of that voice, after that day, but something strange also happened, here my brother Asher, he doesn't call me since a week ago, I tried to call him but his phone is coming out of reach, I just hope is fine ''Emberly, will you please do me a favor, dear,'' Mrs.Glint asked me ''Sure Bernice', just tell me what to do, I will say to her enthusiastically if she didn't give me this waitress job then how can I manage her
I paced around the master suite room, Sarah already gone, trying to save Asher in my clothing, and here I am, dressed in a yellow ruffled sundress similar to Sarah's, so that her father's men outside who were guarding her didn't realise she was leaving.She informed me that she would contact me when she and Asher were in a secure spot so that I could leave the hotel after that. I looked at my phone screen as I clasped my hands to my breast.But, first, I can't because everyone believes she's in this room getting ready for her wedding, but it's actually me who's there.I jolted as the door to her room swung opened, and I drew a deep, uneven breath before immediately turning aside so that my face was hidden and my back was towards the person who had just entered."Sarah, you haven't prepared yourself yet," I heard a female voice.I didn't respond because I was experiencing a bile burn at the back of my throat.When I heard their footsteps approaching, I tightly closed my eyes, knowing t
Everyone began to come up to us and congratulate us.Then Mr. Winston and Mrs. Winston arrived, and he looked uneasily at Mr.Adrian Campbell.He inquired, "Can we sign those documents now?""Sure." Adrian nodded and walked away with Mr. Winston.I looked around at the guys in tuxedos and women in costly dresses trailing after them.I'm so tired of being alone in the alter that I want to go back to my apartment.Then I noticed the escape door and decided, "Yes, I'll do it."I'm not going to let anybody take advantage of me; I know Adrian will find out the truth soon, and I can't even picture what will happen to me after that.Secretly, without getting noticed, I made my way out from the church,Finally, when I reach outside, I took a long breath, of relief and quickly took out that veil and runs away from this place.************I curled into a foetal position as my legs felt restless and my stomach churned, increasing my thirst with what had happened to me today, I got married and th
I entered the mansion and was taken aback by the interior's splendour.Everything about this mansion shouts money and luxury.Then there are the late-fifties women. she gave me a warm laugh."Good morning mam, my name is Celia, and I work as a maid here," she said, and I smiled."There are a total of fifty maids in the mansion. Some are cleaning, while others are in the servant quarters; but, I am available if needed," she told me."Come, let me show you Mr. Campbell's bedroom," she added, raising my heartbeat with each passing second.How am I supposed to live with him? He didn't even want to look at my face."Sure," I responded tentatively, and followed her.We ascended the glass-encased great stairwell to the upper level. She let me inside Adrian's master bedroom once she opened the door.His room is painted in a dark colour theme. It has a king-size bed in the middle and a large glass door facing front, and it reminds me of him in some ways. It has a sofa and other lavish furnishi
It's 9 p.m., and I'm sitting in this mansion's living room, doing nothing while staring at a giant TV in front of me, but nothing interesting is about to happen to keep me occupied.Then I observed him, Adrian, heading somewhere in a casual grey shirt with blue trousers, his Greek god body visible even through the shirt, making me uneasy from the inside, he had the phone in his hand while talking to someone, making me nervous from the inside.I moved closer to him, hoping to overhear his conversation and learn more about my brother, because I've never received Sarah's message about their condition, how they're doing, even if they're fine, since that day.I searched the area till I spotted Celia."Celia, where did Adrian just go?" I inquired."Mr. Campbell, went to his study room," she said, and I nodded and followed Adrian to the upper floor of the mansion, where he was going to his study room. He went to his study room while I tiptoed behind him, hoping to hear what he was saying in
"Please come to a stop," I took a deep breath and flung my hands up in the air, watching at the fifth cab speeding away down this road.It's already 9:45 a.m., and I have to be in his presence by 10:00 a.m., or he'll ruin my life.Emberly, you're not going to have a taxi here, so I'd best get going before I'm even more late.So, I've chosen to run now; hiring a taxi from here would be pointless because I've already travelled half of the distance to his workplace by running behind cabs.I instantly took out my phone to verify my current location; yeah, I'm only 15 minutes away from where I'm currently standing.*******I clutched my handbag closely as I gazed at a gorgeous and elegant tower, wondering if this was another Burj-Khalifa.God, you are stunning and deserving of all praise.I enter the house to find guests.The company's interior was breathtakingly lovely.Everything appears to be really lovely. the epitome of opulenceI took a step towards the receptionist.She smiled pleas
Biting down on my bottom lip, I moaned as I felt my wrist burn with unbearable anguish. I stuffed the final file into a drawer that I'm putting in alphabetical order as per his request for me.I looked at the clock, it was 10 p.m., I peeked inside his office, which was vacant, and I dashed to the balcony, where I saw him driving his car away from his company's building.Everyone is leaving; I should leave as well because this is my final assignment of the day.I dragged my feet towards my desk, swiftly turning off the laptop and retrieving my handbag.I came down, wrapped my arms around myself, and walked down the road at night, it took me two hours to walk to the mansion because I didn't have enough money to book a cab, and I was very hungry because I brought lunch back from the Starbucks cafe during my lunch break at the office, as I didn't have enough money to afford a cab.Guards greeted me as I entered the mansion.I walked straight to the kitchen to get something to eat, checked
I strode around the living room, constantly drawing and releasing my breath.I can't think straight right now because of what's going on.When I heard the sound of the door opening, I flinched."Honey," a woman's captivating voice said.I turned around and held my breath when I saw a very beautiful woman in her middle age wearing an expensive chiffon long dress and a middle-aged man who looked like the old version of Adrain, along with a girl who appeared to be my age, with grey eyes like Adrian and a face that resembled Adrian's, there is no doubt that she is his sister.I stared at them as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.Adrian comes from his study, and his mother rushes up to him, hugging him and kissing his cheeks.His father then hugged him, followed by his sister."How are you doing, honey?" his mother said, tenderly touching his hair, but he frowns, as if irritated by them.Jerk, you are so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Compare that to an orphan like mysel
