Anna was in a bad mood throughout that day. She was still bitter over losing Mister Hamilton as one of her stakeholders.
There was a knock on her door, she frowned and got down from her bed. She went to the door and opened it.
She saw a maid outside the door.
""Ma'am, it is time for lunch."" She said.
Anna frowned, ""I do not want to eat. I am not hungry.""
""But, ma'am, your mother told me to call you down for lunch. She wants you to be present.""
""Did you not hear me?"" She said tiredly, ""I am tired."" She frowned and walked back to her bed.
The maid closed the door and left. A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door.
""Who is it?"" She groaned.
""Anna dear, are you in?"" A voice came from outside.
She got down from bed and went to the door. Her mother was outside.
""Mom? What are you doing here?"" She asked.
""Anna dear, what is wrong? Why will you not come down for lunch?"" She furrowed her brows.
""I am not hungry."" She looked away.
She went inside the room.
""Why are you so upset? What is wrong dear? Tell me."" She said.
Anna sighed and sat on the bed, ""Mister Hamilton is no longer our stakeholder anymore."" She pouted.
Bella, Anna's mother, raised her brows in surprise.
""Oh my dear, what happened?"" She sat beside Anna.
""Evelyn came today and accused the PA Dad got for me, she called him a thief. Mister Hamilton tried defending him, but Evelyn insulted him."" She palmed her face, ""And I could not do anything."" She sniffed.
""So what happened after that?""
""I fired him."" She said quietly.
""Who?""
""The guy who was supposed to be my PA."" She replied.
Bella arched her brows, ""How did the innocent guy contribute to you losing Mister Hamilton?""
""If Evelyn had not seen him there, she would not have created a scene."" She whined.
""She was the one who created a scene, she was also the one who insulted Mister Hamilton. What did the young man do?"" She probed further.
""He is the cause of everything. He is bad luck."" She fumed.
""Why are you saying that, Anna? You can not just accuse someone of something when you are not sure of his past or his background."" Bella said.
Anna was silent, she never thought of that.
""But if whatever Evelyn said was true?"" Anna folded her arms.
""You are not even sure of his background, you do not even know this guy."" Bella sighed.
""What you did to the poor man was wrong, Anna, you have just made him lose a job that might have been beneficial to him."" Bella said calmly.
Anna began feeling a little guilty, she did not allow him to explain himself, she just fired him, allowing rage to fill her head.
""I am scared Mom, I do not want anything Evelyn said to be true."" She held her hand.
""You will not know unless you find out for yourself. Sometimes you have to do the findings yourself and not let other people's opinions rule yours."" Bella said.
Anna was quiet, she thought for a while.
""I think I wronged him Mom, I have to go look for him and apologize."" Anna said.
Bella nodded, ""That is exactly what you need to do at the moment.""
Anna stood up from the bed, ""I am going to look for him, but I do not know where he lives."" Anna twisted her lips.
Bella thought for a moment, ""Well you could try to skip tracing.""
Anna blinked, ""Skip tracing? How will that work? I really do not know much about him.""
""Well, well, just try any online searching, that would help. You have to be quick about that too.""
""Yes Mom, thank you so much."" She hugged her and walked to the door.
""Will you not have lunch at least?"" Bella asked.
""No Mom, I do not think I have that time."" She shook her head.
She left the room in haste.
""Take care of yourself!"" She shouted after her.
Kelvin was on his knees pleading.
""Missus Hiller, please have mercy on me. I do not have anywhere else to go."" His eyes were filled with tears.
Alexander was also on the floor pleading with Kelvin.
""Missus Hiller, please just give us some more time. We just need some more time."" Kelvin pleaded.
""I have given you enough time. I can not give you any more time than this."" She shook her head.
""Throw their things out! Come on, do not waste time."" She told the people who were busy throwing their things out of the house.
Jacky was confused and he held Kelvin's hand.
""Why are they throwing our things out, Kelvin?"" he asked.
Kelvin was heartbroken.
""I am so sorry Jacky."" That was all he could say.
""What are you waiting for? Stand up and get out of here!"" Missus Hiller yelled at them.
Jacky did not know what was going on, but he joined Kelvin and Alexander in pleading.
""Missus Hiller, please do not throw us out."" He said tearfully.
Missus Hiller looked at him and laughed at them mockingly.
""You think your useless pleadings will save you? I have had enough. Please leave my house, I beg you."" She rolled her eyes angrily.
One of the men came to meet her.
""We are done throwing their things out, ma'am."" he said.
She looked at them, ""Now, please leave.""
""Missus Hiller, please just consider us for once. This is a very hard time for me."" Kelvin cried.
""Do I look like I care? I am not the reason you lost your job, am I?"" She scoffed, ""Now please stop your useless pleadings and leave my house now!"'" She ordered.
""Missus Hiller, where do you want them to go to?"" Alexander asked.
""Well, they can go to your house come, it is not as if you owe your homeowner as they do."" She smirked.
Kelvin was bitter and embarrassed.
""If you do not leave right now, I will tell these men to throw you out!"" She yelled, ""Leave right now!"" She screamed at them.
Kelvin sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes. He took Jacky by his hand, and they all left the house.
He was completely shattered and angry. What did he do to deserve all this?
""Let us go Alexander."" He said quietly.
They all left the house with their heads hung low.
The neighbors watched as they were being evicted. There were murmurs among them.
Kelvin was so embarrassed. He hid his face as he left the compound amidst the murmurs coming from them.
What would happen to them now?
Kelvin could neither cry nor laugh. He was just numb. Alexander felt sorry for him, ""I think you both should come and stay with me. It is better than staying in the streets moping."" He sighed. ""Alexander, how did it get to this?"" He sniffed, ""Where do I go from here?"" He palmed his face and began to sob. ""Crying will not solve anything, Kelvin, you have to stand up and think about the way forward."" Alexander told him. Kelvin removed his hands from his face, ""What else am I supposed to think? I have nothing in my head."" He heaved. ""We can only think of something when you are much calmer. Right now is not the time you should think."" he said calmly. ""I can not think of anything right now. I do not have any ideas."" He sniffed. ""Come on Kelvin, let us go to my house."" He sighed, ""At least I have paid for the next three months' rent."" He smiled a little. ""I am so sorry Alexander, you are already
Anna was surprised and shocked that Evelyn hung up on her. She thinned her lips trying to suppress her anger. ""After all that she did, she still hangs up on me?"" She banged the table, ""I did a bad thing. I blamed all my losses on the poor guy."" She held her head. ""Evelyn is the cause of everything. How could I not see that? Now he has lost his job because of me."" She palmed her face. ""I have to find him and apologize to him, no matter what."" She resolved. She dialed a number and the person at the other end picked it up instantly. ""Hello?"" ""Hello? Ma'am, how may I be of help to you?"" ""Hey Nelson, I need your help."" She said. ""Yes ma'am?"" ""Could you come over? I think it is better if I explain it to you in person."" She sighed. ""Okay ma'am, I am on my way."" She hung up. Some minutes later, the doorbell rang. Anna rushed with expectation to the door. ""Come
""Who is this personal assistant of yours?"" Katherine asked again. ""I do not know him. I just went into my room to see him. I asked him why he was there, and he said he had applied for a job."" Anna said. ""You mean father set up a job vacancy?"" Katherine arched her brows. ""I was surprised myself, but well, I could tell him to leave."" She sighed. ""But."" ""But what?"" She asked. ""How did he eventually leave then?"" Katherine asked. ""I fired him. It was all Evelyn's fault, she made me pour all my bitterness on the poor man."" She sighed. ""So he left as soon as he came."" Katherine nodded slowly. ""Yeah."" Anna replied. ""How come Ralph is angered over it?"" Katherine frowned. Anna creased her brows, ""I do not know why he is angry. It surprised me to know he knew that guy."" Katherine nodded, ""No problem then, do not just get into a fight with him, he i
""Why is he here? How did he find you? How did he know you were living here with me?"" He bombarded him with questions. ""I am as confused as you are. I honestly do not know how she found out."" He held his chest. ""I do not know why, but he seems odd. I do not like him."" Alexander frowned. ""He is gay."" Kelvin sighed. Alexander pushed his head backwards and raised his brows. ""That is the reason he wants you back!''" Alexander hit his palm. ""He says he will take me back and give me a job again."" Kelvin thinned his lips. ""You are not probably not thinking about it, are you? He is gay Kelvin, gay!"" He almost yelled. ""I know that, but he is willing to give me a job again."" His eyes brightened. ""You are not serious Kelvin."" Alexander shook his head slowly and folded his arms. ""But Alexander, I really need this job, this might result in good pay."" Kelvin tried reasoning with him.
Kelvin stood rooted to the ground, he looked confused. She walked to him and held his hand, ""It is good to see you again Michael."" She said softly. Kelvin shook his head, ""I am not who you think I am. I am not Michael."" He said. She frowned, ""Are you trying to deny your identity now?"" She raised her nose in pretended annoyance. He frowned deeply, ""I am not denying anything. I am not Michael, my name is Kelvin."" He released his hand from hers. ""You are not Michael?"" She blinked. ""I am not Michael, I do not know who you are talking about."" He sighed. ""Oh, I am sorry, I did not realize it."" She apologized. He nodded, ""It is okay, you just mistook me for someone else."" He said calmly and continued his walk down the street. A few minutes later, he sensed something following him. He tried shoving it off his mind. He continued his walk home but noticed whatever or whoever was follo
"I swear Kev, I love you." A young girl of about nineteen years old said. She was wearing a skimpy red dress that was above her knees, with silver stiletto heels. She was fair in complexion, average in height and had nice curves. Her long wavy brown hair reached her waist. She had honey brown eyes, a pointed nose and rosy pink lips. ""Evelyn, you know what we are going to land ourselves on. Ma'am Pat wouldn't like to see us together. She'll be mad."" A young man with old clothes replied. He was pretty handsome, he had sea-blue eyes, his nose was pointed like an eagle's beak and he had red lips. He was quite muscular. ""Momma is not going to know Kev, it'll be a secret, I promise. This is going to be between us."" Evelyn rolled her eyes. ""Besides, is it money you want? I'll give it to you. Just accept me please. I really, really love you."" She pouted. She leaned forward and hugged him, her head on his chest. Kelvin didn't respond to the h
""What is wrong now?"" He wondered. His heartbeat accelerated, a bad feeling suddenly engulfed him. On getting to the entrance, he saw a group of women consoling Jacky. A white cloth was placed over something. ""Can someone tell me what's going on?"" He asked. One of the women stared at him and pointed to the cloth. ""What is under it? What is going on?"" He asked again. "Grandma is dead." Jacky croaked. He was shocked. ""Tell me it's a joke."" He said in what sounded like a whisper. One of the women holding Jacky looked up at him and said, ""No it's not. We can't joke about someone's death, especially that of an old woman."" He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He ran to the body and knelt besides it. "Grandma? Grandma? Wake up!"" Can you hear me? Please get up, you can't leave me now, get up, please get up."" He shook the dead body violently. Some men tried to lead him away from
Kelvin walked around looking sulky. His head was swelling with emotions. It had been a month since Grandma's burial yet he had no job. Justin. had asked him to refund the money in three months and he had just two months left. ""Goodness, what am I going to do?"" He thought to himself. He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not realise that he bumped into something and knocked it down. ""Oh oh."" He quickly raised it to its position. It was a signboard advertising for the position of a personal assistant. His eyes widened. He quickly jotted down the address and scurried home. ""Jacky guess what?"" He said excitedly. ""What is it now?"" Jacky asked arching his brow. ""I'll be going on a interview tomorrow. I just saw a job vacancy and I'll be going there tomorrow for an interview."" He beamed. ""That's great news."" Jacky beamed. ""So tomorrow you are going to stay Alexander till I get back.""
