View MoreEstafania's POV "That old man!!!!" Kina screamed "Shiiiiii...shush!! keep your voice down'' I said with my hands on her mouth "keep it down, we are still at the office" I repeated and moved her to the far corner of the break room while looking around to see if anybody heard her"You mean your uncle wants you to marry that old man, that has to be a joke" Kina who managed to free herself from my hands on her mouth said in disbelief "I was as surprised as you currently are but then again I shouldn't be. I knew the vibe I was getting from that man Gustavo was not of good when he said that he will reach an agreement with my uncleI just wish all this was just a terrible dream. He is very well into his fifties with his bald head and protruding belly which does not help his short stature in any way. No way will I ever agree to that joke of a marriage." " Yes, do not under any circumstances agree to that ridiculous request, I mean sure he is the one that is currently in charge of your fa
Estafania's POV Not a minute more from closing time and kina and I were on our way out to make sure everything is set before Mr Gustavo gets there.We managed to escape before the evening rush started. It took us about five minutes to get to the restaurant. Kina took her seat at one corner of the room ready for anything, I on the other hand, waited anxiously for Mr Gustavo. Not long after, he came in with his assistant and thugs. Seeing him and his entourage reminded me of that night and the terror I went through, this is definitely the last thing I wanted to do.While his thugs waited at another table in the restaurant, he walked over to me with his assistant. I stood to welcome them trying my best to keep the fake smile on my face as genuine as possible."Good day Sir, thank you for honoring my invitation" I said offering a bow to show my appreciation "Oh there is no need for that" he said smiling like a proud peacock "Please sit, make yourself comfortable" I said to them as I
Estafania's POV " Hi" I was brought back to the present, I have been absent minded thinking of how to handle Mr Gustavo The unknown voice did not relent and continued "Good day! .....can I get a stapler from you, mine is not working" I looked up to see the new recruit smiling down at me. She probably doesn't know what she was getting herself into and the fact that trying to be friendly with me is nothing but social suicide "Here" I said giving her the one on my desk, I expected her to use it and leave immediately but she not only used it but also sat on my table "So where do you usually go for lunch, I have tried some restaurants nearby but I am yet to choose which one I like most"I looked at her confused ".......Errm canteen, the food in the canteen is really good, you should try it"" Really" she said like she found that hard to believe "Trust me, my father made sure that there was a standard when it came to what his employees consumed plus all the ingredients are fresh from
Estafania's POV I ran outside the house in a hurry wondering to myself what he meant by that, realizing that I have no idea whatsoever of where I was and how to get home I came to a full stop. I reached into my purse for my phone just to find out that the battery was down, flat, not even one percent was remaining "Great........just great, now what?" I asked no one in particular I was not expecting the place to be as private as this as I could see the city from the windows of the room I slept in, I mean there were other houses in the area but nobody was on the streets "Maybe if I walked down a little I could find somewhere to take a cab or something" that was my thought as I followed the direction that seemed correct to me .....about thirty minutes or thereabout of walking up and down aimlessly I realized that I was completely lost inside this maze of an estate "Great.....just great, very wonderful" I said in an attempt to avoid crying. I thought of going back to t
Estafania's POV I'm pretty sure I closed the curtains in my room when I left the house this morning so there was no way I could have opened it again after coming back from work yesterday because I must have come back late So who the hell opened those curtains to disturb my sleep.....this wonderful sleep, God I can't remember the last time I slept through the night without waking up even once to use the bathroom. I grudgingly dragged myself up from the bed and was immediately hit with the worst headache I have ever experienced in all my years on planet earth, what the hell is wrong with me, it's worse than a hangover on my drunkest days It feels as if my head is about to spIit into different pieces, I am pretty sure I can feel the veins in my head beating uncontrollably "What happened?" I asked the empty room, willing myself to remember what exactly had happened Holding my head with one hand as if that was going to stop the headache, I searched blindly for the bottle of water
Seth's POV I watched as she scrambled to get away from me, it was too late..... I came here to clear my head and stop thinking about all the things that have been bothering me. At least that was what I thought until I saw her ''Wow bro......that's a new accomplishment, you managed to shock a girl into unconsciousness'' said Raymond who has been trying to set me up with a girl for a while now ''She is beautiful, talk about a damsel in distress..... I wonder where she came from'' he continued trying to get my attention but I was only focused on her Does she know how helpless and fragile she looks right now, I bent down and carefully checked on her Raymond still tagging behind 'it looks like you know her bro, don't tell me she is the one that got you all twisted' when I didn't reply he chuckled I came to see Raymond because I knew that with him around I am sure to be surrounded by all kinds of women and I needed any kind of distraction, he did try this time around I must comm
" Finally this cursed day is over" I said as I made my way into the house exhausted. I didn't see Mr handsome throughout the day so I came to the conclusion that he must have left while I was at the pharmacy, I hope it's not because of me "I was told you left the office about two hours ago, so why are you just coming back now" came my uncle, he didn't look happy. I guess this just goes to confirm he's been keeping tabs on me "I stopped to get drugs" it's not as if he cared "I have a project for you, you will be in charge of future interactions with Gustav's international" he said like that was a small thing " what! " "Yes, you've always wanted to take on bigger projects so this deal is an opportunity for you to prove yourself, if you do it well, you get promoted and get your own office like your siblings" he said ever so casually When did he become this generous, what is he up to now? Gone are the days when I would have believed him "Sure why not" I needed to be calm if
Later that day I was tired, completely spent. My head aches like never before, I stayed in my room until the noise downstairs died down then I came out and made my way to my father's room. My uncle and his family moved into the house after my father died, if I am being completely honest they already started moving in little by little when he was still in the hospital under the guise of keeping me company and taking care of me According to my uncle, it was the only way to make sure it remains in the family, unlike other properties that were seized as a result of him "embezzling the company's funds" I walked through his closet, his scent lingered in the air and it still looked well arranged. Some of mum's things were still there the ones I didn't pack the last time I helped in arranging his room. I knew he loved Mama but I thought he would have moved them by now. The clothes were mixed in with his own on the hanger, the folded ones were arranged in a very distinct way, he practic
How do you explain the unfair nature of life? I feel like my father's life is the best example of that. How can a man live his whole life developing and building a multibillon dollar company only to watch it being taken away from him at the end......make it make sense to me. I never understood why, it's even more heartbreaking knowing that the loss of the company led to his untimely death. My father always believed that as long as you were on the right path, things will work out for you but now I struggle to believe in this. He was.... I now have to use WAS when talking about my father. My father was a very kind and hardworking man, he was loved by many until recently.
