Rose was dressed in a very gorgeous but casual outfit as both she and Ray walked into a very expensive-looking diner to have lunch. She seemed to be glaring around as they walked to the table which had been reserved for them, Ray was quick to pull out a chair for her to take a seat before sitting opposite her.They had picked what to order as they waited for their food but Ray was quick to notice how gloomy she looked.“Hey, why do you look so sad Rose, you don't like the place?” he questioned.“I do and this place looks perfect. I was honestly just thinking about something!” Rose replied.“Huh, what were you thinking about? Common, tell me about it!” He exhorted, nicely.“It's about, it's about my job!” she told him as the waiter brought them their order.“Uhmm, what about your job? What job is that?” he questioned. “Is it schoolwork or is it your job at the hospital?” he implored yet again while pouring her a glass of wine.“Ray, there is something you need to know about me because
Ray strolled down the stairs before walking towards the direction of the dining table to notice his parents having breakfast. He seemed excited today as he slowly hugged his mother from behind before leaving a warm peck on her hair. “Good morning mom!” he greeted as she responded sweetly in return.“Good Morning dad!” He greeted his father who only made a sound before he sat on the empty seat beside his father. The maid beside him had begun to serve every delicious-looking meal on the table on his plate when his mother had thrown a question at him. “So, what's this I am hearing that you broke it off with Stephanie?” his mother asked as his expression instantly changed to that of a frown. “Your mother is talking to you!” his father muttered rigorously. “Look, I have said this before. I don't love Stephanie!” Ray said politely.“But you hurt her Ray for goodness sake, you were already engaged. Don'tyou care about how she feels?” his mother explained questionably.“So, I never asked
“It's true mommy, just as you told me. I have been observing over here and that is how I found out!” Raya told Claudia on the phone.“Listen, try to find out how she got that money and clues to where she is hiding it, okay?” Claudia instructed very carefully. “Yes mommy, I would do just that but I miss you so much!” Raya uttered with a much softer voice.“I know that and I also miss you too! I love you very much. I honestly want all of this to end quickly and soon because I want to get back the riches they stole from us, I also want to go back to living in peace before they ruined everything. Hunny, I want you to come back home to me as soon as possible. Do you understand why this has to be done, Raya?” she asked with her words clustered on the phone.“Don't worry because I do understand mommy!” she responded. “You know what to do, take extra care when you are around them, and observe everything. Be mindful of everyone there, and be extra vigilant. Okay?” Claudia warned.“I will, mo
Ever since Grandma Flora's death, Mitch has been gloomy and less active. She was presently at the diner when she noticed Hendrix making some signal signs but she slowly wiggled her head to tell him off. “Come on!” Hendrix finally muttered but she nonetheless still ignored him. “Isn't that your friend?” one of the workers at the diner questioned.“Yes he is!” she answered barely.“I think he is calling you,” The worker told Mitch.“I’m not allowed to go out because aunt Chantelle would get mad at me if I do!” Mitch yelled loudly for Hendrix to hear. The sad expression masked on his face after he heard that was visible, and he gave a small sigh before leaving. Hendrix felt hurt for some seconds but he understood why she had acted that way. He had gone to see Travis as they strolled down one of the streets in the Netherlands.“I honestly intend to help Mitch out but the question is how?” Travis blurted out.“I have no idea myself, sincerely, her aunt is a mean woman who is nothing but
Raya ran upstairs to her room before pulling out her phone briskly to dial Claudia’s number, her hands seemed to be trembling nonstop as she did that.“Hey, I thought that you weren't going to call today, why? What's going on, Hunny?” Claudia questioned from the other line. “Mommy, they were the ones who stole all your money!” Raya said it all hyper and panicky. “I knew it, they were the thieves all along. We have to do something to bring them to justice!” Claudia uttered from the other line as she paced from one place to another.“Mommy, I'm honestly scared right now, they are planning to send you to jail because they all have witnesses that they are paying off!” Raya voiced worriedly with furrowed eyebrows. “Nooo, I can't allow them to do that to me! The nerve of those monsters. I won't allow myself to be pushed around like an animal, this gives me more reason to take back what they stole from me with immediate effect!” Claudia's voice came out angrily and unsettled. “Mommy, wh
Nora was done eating and was about to leave for the club but the moment she sauntered outside the house. She noticed Ray outside their house.“Oh hi, please is Rose in?!” he had asked the minutes he saw her. “Oh yeah, but she is already asleep right now. She was out all day looking for a job, and she went to bed almost immediately!” Nora told him.“Is that so?” Ray questioned while rubbing his sweaty hands on his clothes. “Would you like me to wake her up for you?” Nora inquired while turning back but he was quick to stop her instantly. “No, you shouldn't bother. We should let her catch up on her sleep because she is working very hard as it is!” Ray said with a small smile masking his face.“I know what you mean, she pushes herself too much sometimes. She's been having financial problems lately and she's worried about her tuition. She needs to buy textbooks as well then and there’s a thing with her sisters again!” Nora explained.“I truly want to help her out, I wish I could do som
“So how would this event of mine be like?” Claudia asked further.“Here is what I have been thinking. As a very good and close friend of yours, I know that you are dealing with your personal problems right now but I want you to know that I would be the one to host the annual party of your company!” Tessa told her friend.“Are you serious?” Claudia questioned while shaking the glass cup of wine in her hands with a little smile of satisfaction masked on them. “Of course, I figured that since I’m doing well because of your company. I just think that it’s time to share some of my blessings too,” Tessa said with a charming and sweet smile.Meanwhile, Ray and Eric were seated at their favorite bar but the look on Ray’s face was bleak and wrinkled. “Waiter, two vodkas please!” Eric simply said before glaring at his friend. “What’s wrong with you dude? You don’t seem like you, did something happen?!” Eric questioned as they wait for their order to arrive .“I’m having a hard time, I honest
Late that evening, Claudia was in her room checking some files from the office when the door pulled wide open gaining her attention. “Mommy,” Raya's voice came, filling the room.“Baby,” Claudia said as she trudged to hug the little girl. “Alright then aunty, I would leave the two of you!” Lisa said before excusing herself.“Alright Lisa, I want to thank you for bringing Raya here!” Claudia said with a wide and excited grin.“You welcome auntie!” Lisa said before leaving. The minute she had left, Claudia slowly rubbed Raya’s face with a smile visible on her face. “Well honey, tell me, how are you?” Claudia asked as they both took a sit beside the bed.“Do you want something to eat? Do they know that you are coming here?” Claudia asked.“No, they have no idea because mother and her friend are not home right now and Daina is sleeping off a terrible headache. That was how I was able to go out!” Raya explained and that had left a kiss on her forehead. “You are very good, my child. Yo
