"Buzz… Buzz…" Alexia's cell phone vibrated as she sniffed then reached out for her phone which was in her side pocket and when she took it out she realized it was an unknown number. She furrowed her eyebrows. "Who in the world is this?" she soliloquized then swiped her thumb across the screen taking the phone to her left ear. "Hello… am I speaking with Alexia Chaney?" A deep male voice came through the phone as Alexia sat upright. "Yes, this Is Alexia Chaney," She clears her throat. "I heard you can play the guitar and I hope you will like a day's job, you will be paid handsomely for it. Are you interested?" said the man again over the phone as Alexia blinked. "Okay, I am interested. What is the occasion and venue?" She asked. "SBE wine corporation will be launching a new wine tomorrow alongside the birthday celebration of the CEO, Richard Robertson, and there will be a night party at his Estate," The man said as Alexia's eyes popped wide open and she parted her lips. She couldn't believe she just accepted an invitation to perform for a man who just wrecked her show. "I will text you the address, first thing in the morning. Get prepared because it is a big party and Richard loves something exceptional," said the man as he hung up.

She whispered with her heart racing, and while pattering she felt the weight of someone on the chair beside her. She looked through the side of her hair at Richard whose eyes were still up front with a serious face.Is it that he is not seeing me or what? she wondered a bit offended but slightly relieved. Even now I hate him more than ever. She thought to herself while the mc took on the event again. “Excuse me young lady but are you supposed to be here?” the wealthy woman sitting by her left asked.“Yes. Actually I was hired to play the guitar,” Alexia answered in a low tone and the lady frowned. “What is wrong?” “Nothing, it's just that I was expecting to see someone more...” “Popular?” She raised my eyebrows and before the lady could answer she laughed. “Ma'am I assure you that just because your face is on every poster doesn't mean that you are the most talented,
Frightened, Alexia glanced at her brother who already had a bad expression on his face. No ten years old would be happy to upset their mother let alone their warm hearted Max who has a soft spot for her. Alexia could see his face shrink, and the piercing war that ranged underneath him, it was really destructive and if she doesn’t say something soon, her brother will speak and when he does he will feel the guilt of not being able to keep his own end of the bargain.“Max... won’t you tell mommy, what’s going on?”“I ruined my bike,” Alexia forced the words out of her lips, her words breaking the tension that has hung in the air for a while. She removed her gaze from Max who stared at her in fright. “I ruined the bike my dad bought me and I was invited to this party where I will play and when I am paid I will get myself a new one.”Her mother furrowed her eyebrows and then dished some spaghetti into their plates, and adding stew and meat she passed it over to them. “Why didn’t you tell m
The morning sun streamed into Alexia’s room, and she was still lying on the bed plotting how to get back at Ronald for what he did to her when she heard her mother’s voice echoing from the living room. “Alexia, come down honey, I am already running late for work and you have to prepare your brother for school.”“Coming mom,” she screamed, forcing herself off the bed, she used the stairs down to the living room and found her mother standing by the fridge. “Where is Max?” she asked, gazing around the parlor.“I don’t know, haven’t you woken him from sleep?”“What, no I haven't,” I furrowed my face at her. “Mom, you are all dressed and yet you still forgot to wake him up.”Her mother sighed, closing the fridge as she walked up to the table. “I am so sorry honey, i always get carried away with work,” she picked up her keys and then kissed Alexia on the forehead. “Lucky for me I have a big girl, I might have been a terrible mother if not for you.”Alexia heaved a sigh. “Okay, I get it, just
'You made my day terrible earlier, I didn't believe we would meet so soon. I can't wait to see that sharp mouth of yours bridled, welcome to my den young lady,' Richard squints his eyes at his cruel thought."We will like the three winners of this round to step forward," the commentator said as one of Richard's escorts walked up to him then whispered some words in his left ear.'What are they saying? I don't think this will be good,' Alexia thought to herself while her eyeballs followed their movements but there was nothing else she could do but watch her world crash."Alright," the commentator said as he cleared his throat then turned to Robert. "There was an intervention in the process and our highly esteemed VIP thinks that one of the selected teams is not qualified to proceed to the next round, so I will have him speak for himself,"Richard shook his jaw as he gently arranged his small wireless microphone on his blue suit then looked forward to Alexia."I don't think the F.B.X sho
It was too late to chase after the car since she had wasted almost all her energy in a fight with him."Ahh…" She shook herself angrily when she turned to her bicycle which was on the floor. 'What will I tell Mom? that I ruined the last gift from dad?' She thought as she cried aloud for a while then paused when she noticed people were still staring at her.She clenched her teeth as she stooped taking up her bicycle and without looking at anyone she dragged it across the road still weeping in her mind."I know what to do, If my team wins the audition I will use my share to repair my ride," She soliloquized to herself then glanced at her wrist watch."What!" Alexia screamed aloud when she realized that it was thirty minutes past ten and her team had already gone upstage without her.She ran towards the building with her bicycle as she let it down where other rides were packed swiftly making her way to the entrance.As soon as she entered the hall which was already filled up she took her
"Alexia, Alexia," A young boy of about ten years old ran into a room as he hopped on a bed where a beautiful young lady cuddled herself with her hands wrapped around a pillow. Merely looking at him anyone would tell that the damsel on the bed was his sister. "Alexia," he shook her arm vehemently."Go away Max," she turned to the other side of the bed as she covered her ears with the pillow."You need to get up, it's past nine already," "I don't care," she groaned."Today is your first audition, and it starts by ten," Max continued shaking her arm but seeing she wasn't getting up he hopped down the bed swiftly making his way towards the window.He tried pushing the curtains open but since he couldn't he ran down to a cupboard opposite her bed as he took up Alexia's guitar which leaned on the left side of the cupboard.Alexia exhaled when she noticed the place get calm and after a while she heard the sound of her strings playing one of her favourite songs and immediately her eyes flut
"Beep... Beep… Beep…" a sound kept ringing in an airplane as a young man of twenty two years old walked swiftly into the passengers compartment with his eyes widened in fear as he drifted his gaze to the passengers who were all panicking."Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" the voice of the pilot came through as the airplane kept shaking tremendously."Richard," A woman called from one of the seats as the young man who had walked in looked forward to her."Mom," Richard said aloud as the plane shook tremendously followed by a loud blasting sound outside and without hesitation the young boy moved to an empty seat closer to him then sat down as he quickly fastened his seat belt."Easy vector. we are going down and all passengers should evacuate the plane, I repeat, all passengers should evacuate the plane," The pilot's voice came through again as Richard lifted his quivering eyes to his parents who were staring at him.Most of the passengers began to take up parachutes which were beside them as R
