MORGANA; The Rise And Fall Chapter 32
It was the day of the School Party.A smell of anticipation lingered in the air. Lucas was in attendance, and so was his wife Genevieve who sat beside him. Maya did not sit with them, she sat at a corner of the hall alongside her classmates.The who and who's of Montenegro were all in attendance, the parents and other invited guests of honour.The hall was adorned with colourful decorations, twinkling lights ,a stage which set up at the centre of the hall and music which reverberated from the speakers from strategic sides of the hall. Lucas was at the forefront, and Genevieve sat beside him, they were in public, she wouldn't want to destroy the happy image she had created of her family in public.It was almost time for Le Faye to enter the stage and take the spotlight. That was the reason he had come, and he was sure as well, that had been the reason his wife Genevieve had come as well.Other people might have come for their children, but for him, she topped the reason he was in att

Lucas walked briskly, his eyes scanning the headers of each room he passed, searching for Faye to return her bracelet.He found it odd that he followed her in even though he could wait where he had been for her to return so he could hand her the jewelry he had picked up, or yet still hand it over to the management of the school she worked at.But a thought in him advised him otherwise and he couldn't reject the counsel.Walking further, he saw a door opened halfway from the arrays of doors that spawned through out the hallway.His heart clicked and he guessed it might be the one she had entered, forgetting to close up properly perhaps due to the fact that she just have felt scared being in only her.He walked up to the door and couldn't help but stare.Her back was in full view.She had removed the ballet gown she wore and had her bare back glaring at him, with only the host she wore on, and the sight of the black strapless bra she had on from the corner of her sides.He'd hourglass f

The sounds of glass cups clanking and plates clinking with cutleries together filled the air as the dinning area for occupied with parents. Some who drank, and some parents who sat apart eating from the buffet opposite.Faye walked in and she did not fail to steal attention with the dress she wore.Some parents had dressed exposing some parts of their body but somehow, the dress she wore made her steal all the attention from them, especially with her waist that looked snatched in the outfit."Miss Faye!!!! It's a pleasure finally meeting you! I enjoyed the Infinity Wine from your company and can't resist from taking it anytime any day. A very nice creation from you I must say" a man said to her while shaking her hands." Thank you so much. I appreciate your loyalty to my company" she replied walking unto the table he stood at." Care for some?" He asked her and brought the bottle of wine in his hand to pour some into the glass cup she held and brought closer to him."Thank you, get a

"How useless can you get Genevieve!!!!??" She heard and turned her head, shaking off the thoughts that had begun to consume her." We were in public for crying out loud!! Could you not control your husband and make him not get drunk?! What would the media say? What would be carried on the front pages of the newspapers tomorrow? You're so useless!!!!" Montenegro shot at her." Father I'm sorry. I was not aware that he was drinking, neither did I know that he'd get drunk that way and embarrass me and the family. I'm sorry father. I'd try my best to keep this from getting out"" You'd keep what? How do you intend to do that? The other parents who shot videos with their phones. What would you do to them? Meet them and threaten them to delete the videos? For crying out loud Genevieve, do better!!!! Did you not see the lady that danced at the stage? Did you not see how she captivated the crowd? Till now men are still talking about her and you? Nothing!! Useless!! Shameless!!!" He thundered

Le Faye watched from the window of her classroom as Lucas came to pick up Maya from the classroom.He had stopped coming for months now since after the incident that happened between them at the dressing room during the school's party. Instead, he sent his workers instead and some of them usually came to pick this daughter on his behalf.He had always been in the news and for the wrong reasons as well.It seemed like a never ending cycle. He had a bad reputation especially after his drinking saga but she had plans she wanted to use and turn the people back to him, a week before the election day, which was a week to come.She noticed how he avoided her eyes but she did not bother, instead, she found herself worrying for him. Had he not yet heard or seen the news. Perhaps he has, and perhaps that was the reason he had come to pick up his daughter by himself, to avoid her being stopped by interviewers who cared not about the mental health of people regardless of age.She compelled herse

The earring he held in his fingers could not leave his thoughts.They seemed body familiar. He had seen his wife Genevieve with one once. It was a wedding gift she had received from one of her friends. A limited edition. He had also seen Faye with the earrings too. So his thoughts were juggled. Which one of them owned the one pair of earring in his fingers, how was he going to find out who owned it. The owner must have something to do with the death of his mother.He drove to the club house. He had heard from his private investigator that she usually went there to play golf and games sometimes, so he went in, hoping to confront her.It took him a while before he was able to find her, she had been at the VIP section. She could afford it but she seemed not to be alone. She had a company, his brother in-law who could not resist gloating and talking about himself to the woman.She seemed cunning and he did not seem to see beneath through her facade. He wanted to avoid her, the way he had

The dressing room was an opposite of what it used to be.Unlike before when the clothes were all hanged in the diamond hangers with Genevieve's initials, they all laid on the ground, so we're some of her shoes which had been thrown on the floor while her belongings were being ransacked."Where could she have hidden it! Where could she have hidden it" Lucas tiredly lamented.He had been searching her belongings for a long while but had found nothing. Her own earrings were no where to be found and the pouch had been replaced with a different earring but the same colour with the other one she had lost.Something was amiss, he could tell but he could not bring himself to think the path his mind wanted to wander off to.He thought perhaps she had bought another but kept the earring somewhere else, but she was not one to do so.She always donated her designer materials she were not using again to charity houses and made the press come and talk about her and make her donation the front page

The sun was beginning to rise over the city of Montenegro, casting rays upon the business buildings that were all over the city. But today, the city wore a different cloak—a cloak of democracy, woven with threads of hope from candidates who had done their best and still planning their best, anticipation from the people who would begin to troop out en masse to the pooling boots to cast their votes to the candidate whom their heart wills. A gloomy look spread across Lucas 'face. His mind somber and preoccupied with the funeral arrangements for his mother. He had made a decision and had fixed the funeral date of his mother on the day of the election.Genevieve had told him nothing, they didn't talk to each other anymore and only communicated in public with gestures like when she grabbed his arms in public for the press to take Photos, painting them as a happy family, for the sake of appearances. His daughter was always with the nanny and might have been feeling the neglect from him

Morgana's heart was heavy as she walked into the airport. Going to Italy seemed to be the only solution to the guilt she felt. No, that wasn't what she wanted. That was never what she had envisaged her revenge to end up as. It took a different turn because of Lucas' decision. All she had planned, the years and efforts she had wasted hoping to put Genevieve behind bars where she would be a prisoner of her thoughts, of her fall and that of her family's, where she and her father would have no one else to blame for what had befallen them but themselves, it all seemed to be bygones now. Her eyes darted to the screen and the news being announced. "Good evening. Breaking news tonight from Montenegro, a series of shocking revelations and tragic events have captivated both national and international audiences, making waves across the internet. The controversy began with the arrest of Theodore Montenegro, the former governor of Montenegro, whose recent trial took an unexpected turn.

"This is your fall Genevieve, whether you like it or not. This is your fall" Morgana muttered as she continued to struggle with her in the locked car, using all her might regardless of the knife that had been driven to her belly to reach out to the car controls to open the car doors."I will never fall, especially not at your hands. I will keep my head up high. I will keep rising. I will never fall!!!" Genevieve continued screaming as they struggled with each other.Successfully unlocking the cars doors, Morgana stepped out trying to run away amidst the stab wound in her belly.Nathaniel came rushing to where she was, pushing Genevieve who tried to assault her the more right into the car.Lucas had arrived and on coming down from his car to behold the stab wound on the already weak Morgana, he took the driver's seat of the car Genevieve had been pushed into.Nathaniel carried Morgana to the opposite lane and tried calling an ambulance while awaiting the arrival of the police he had c

"Miss Genevieve, I will do you the favor of walking you out of the classroom ma'am. Consider it my last form of respect to you who was once the head of the school's Parent's Teachers Association" Morgana said and motioned Genevieve to the door but she didn't seem to budge, still drowned in thoughts of what she had said to her earlier." Ma'am, I'll plead with you to stay outside now. I wouldn't want my guests to be frightened when the police come for you" Morgana sought to add and it seemed as if her last sentence struck a chord with Genevieve as she began to walk away, while she, followed her, leading her to the door." Say, why don't you follow me to the crime scene Morgana? Wouldn't you want to pay your last respects to your parents as well? I heard you never found their body. That's so much you could do yet brag so loudly and vainly" Genevieve said to her as they reached outside, finally finding her voice in the privacy engulfing the both of them at the passage way.Morgana batted

Morgana was discussing with some parents when she noticed Genevieve walking towards her. It was a rare sight considering the face that she had been declared wanted by the police. Standing up to meet her, Morgana couldn't help but taunt her. It was her downfall she had come for. The downfall of the driver that had hit her mother."Mrs Genevieve, or is it Miss? I do not know what title to refer you by, the news about the divorce is spattered all over the internet"Genevieve slapt her immediately the words came from her mouth. The women sitting down behind them gasped. Torn on what to do at Genevieve's presence, considering that she had been a member of their club yet now wanted for heinous crimes.Morgana held her cheeks, holding back her anger." Ma'am, violence isn't allowed in the school. Have you forgotten? Ohh, I almost forgot. You're not a parent again and it's understandable that you might not recall some of the school rules"Angered by he utterance, again Genevieve landed a sl

Montenegro's face twisted with anger as he grabbed his daughter by the arm, dragging her roughly toward the basement. She stumbled, trying to keep up, tears streaming down her face."Please let me go father, I promise to become better from now on" she pleaded. "How many times do I have to tell you to behave in front of the press Genevieve? You're supposed to act properly so you'd be loved by all. So you'd steal attention. So you'd be the talk of the internet for weeks to come!!!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the house."Dad, please, I'm sorry!" she cried, her voice breaking with fear. "I promise I'll do better, please don't lock me up again!"Her mother rushed forward with panic in her eyes. "Honey, please, let her go!" she begged. "She's just a child! You locked her up for days already, please have mercy! You can't keep locking her up each time she all's short of your expectations. She's human"He turned on his wife, furiously "Stay out of this!" he bellowed, raising his h

The house had a shabby look and still had the white table clothes that had been used to cover the properties.Everywhere was dusty as well.Nathaniel watched a dog come in. It might have come in from the neighbors houses as he left the gate open.He let it be. Atleast it was going to keep him company. He walked over to a carton and began to unbox it. It had some of their family portraits. They were mostly of him and his mother and only few had his father in it with them.It tucked at his heart. He couldn't blame only his mother for running away and abandoning him when he was little. He had witnessed how she was always abused by her husband, perhaps she had left them hoping that it would be the right decision to make.He couldn't take it out on her. She took the decision for her life and he would advice any woman in her shoes to take such decisions too, if they had been in his mother's sort of marriage.A marriage that had the husband always abusing and neglecting his wife. With his

The flickering light of the single lit candle cast long, wavering shadows on the walls of their small home. Now that he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder why they had lived in such a shabby humble place while the new family of his father's he met lived in a mansion. Their house seemed old, so it meant that his father had always been rich since tie immemorial but left them to live in a humble home and environment.His mom had sat by the wooden table, the one he was currently staring at, and her fingers had nervously traced the grain of the wood. Her heart was heavy, burdened by the silence and the secrets that had settled between her and her husband. He recalled his father, Dante entering the house, his tall frame blocking the light momentarily. He had the air of a man who was always in a hurry, always preoccupied with something just beyond reach. His mom took a deep breath, mustering the courage to confront him. "Dante" she began softly, "this is getting too much,

The Banner that bore the People's Progressive Party title on top of the party house had been removed. A new banner for a start up company was being used to replace it.In a short while everything about the PPP had been erased, even their party office sold out.Lucas watched as the Carpenters hammered the new name on, while some repainted the walls giving it a whole new vibe."Governor, you don't need to worry. I'm sure nothing would be found on you. You'd still remain the governor of Montenegro after the probe" his assistant tried to console him.His former assistant rather.He had switched places. He had resigned not wanting to work for the government again. But he had come to him to exchange pleasantries after he saw him in front of the Party house.Lucas knew that he was just trying to condole with him.He was sure he wouldn't be found innocent. He carried out alot of bad deeds on of his father in-law's orders.It had already been more than a week his probe started and no feedback

Genevieve listened on as her father made a call to Dante.He was the last escape route they had and she was sure he would find a way to sneak them out of the house and the country without the police finding out.He was skilled in doing such, that is why her father had taken him in as his cartel business partner."He said we should get ready. Just pack a few things. We'd leave by midnight" her father muttered to her before dropping his phone on the table.She wanted to say something to him but she was interrupted by the gunshots they heard from the gate."They're here" she announced to her father and began running away.Her father stood up and took to his heels, following her as well.The both of them had been declared wanted. Not just for one crime nor for their embezzlement and stashed slash funds, the new accusation that came up and had Theodore's voice as the testimony was a big factor too and they couldn't save themselves from it. The evidences we're glaringly clear.She ran to th
