Tony Malone sat in his swivel chair, his expression morose as he studied his medical report. A cough seized him, sending a pang of pain through his chest.

“You have one month left if you do not undergo the surgery,” echoed the doctor’s voice in Tony’s ears.

Beside him lay a file detailing his company’s financial accounts. He shook his head in dismay. The company teetered on the brink of bankruptcy due to the exorbitant expenses incurred from treating his heart disease. Watching his own company falter without a viable solution weighed heavily on him.

Leaning back in his chair, Tony closed his eyes, feeling the heat rise to his face. At a loss, he even considered organ donation, but his wife, Melissa, vehemently opposed it, insisting on the surgery. With no other choice, Tony sold off his shares to gather funds, ending up with the smallest stake in the company.

Lost in his thoughts, a sudden bang at the door startled him. Before he could respond, Tyler barged in.

“Hey, what’s up?” Tony

    'The plan still stays and nothing changes'That was Brad's reply. I just gloated on my phone looking at the message he sent. Of course, what else was so expecting from him. He cared less about my life so why then would he have called off the plan.I dropped the phone down spontaneously as it slipped off my grasp. I knew for a fact that this whole shit was gonna end in a disgusting fiasco but then who was I to turn things around than to play along with the whole plan. I laid back on the bed and slept on the left side of my body. My hands were folded and my palms were underneath my head. My heart was broken but then I couldn't even let out a tear. Having to go through a lot hardened my heart and ironically I didn't even know when the whole change was happening. Then I strayed away from that thought as I began to feel guilty. I lied to Zelda saying I actually ran away whereas that wasn't the legit story. I sighed deeply and shut my eyes as the room was already obscure and lacked light

    “Hey, baby,” Darius smiled as Elena stood in front of him with a serious expression. He was overwhelmed with joy to see Elena visiting him at his workplace.“Yes, Darius,” Elena said with a frown, looking directly at him.Darius examined Elena’s face and was certain that something was amiss. Rebecca, on the other hand, stood beside with a frown and a disdainful stare directed at Darius.“What’s wrong? You don’t sound like yourself,” Darius asked and took a step closer, but Elena moved backward, her face a mix of guilt and anger. Darius was taken aback.“Here, Mr. Darius,” Rebecca said in a sarcastically disdainful manner, handing a document to Darius.“What is this?” Darius asked, reading the heading of the document. “A divorce agreement? What in God’s name is this?” Darius asked in shock.“You don’t know what a divorce agreement is? You’re not only poor but also clueless,” Rebecca sneered and shook her head.“What gives you the right to talk to me in such a tone?” Darius snapped, gla

    "I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now. It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious." Armando, what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his."I am very serious Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breathe ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when

    "Okay bye" Those were the last words of Harry Locke and unfortunately I couldn't hear his conversation because he stood in an open space and so if had drawn nearer he would have seen me. He turned around and had a smile on his face while I hid behind a pillar. I wanted to confront him but then I had to rethink because that would jeopardize the whole situation. He placed the phone back in his pocket and walked away, headed to the training chamber. I waited for a while before I jumped out of hiding. I stood for a while still pondering on who he was talking to and what for. Luckily, I was able to get a few words for the conversation, which was the name "Ace".He constantly called the name and clearly it depicts that it was the person on the other hand."Alina" I heard a call which came from behind. I shivered before I swiftly turned, and guess who I saw. It was Harry Locke, gazing at me with a pale countenance. Fuck, My eyes widened and i couldn't even move a muscle then. He said nothi

    I was in my room and ruminating about what Brad's supposed decision must have been. He had said we all should leave him and he wanted to be alone so that an announcement would be made in the night.I was in my bed, wearing a white shirt which was asymmetric sort of and then with brown pants. My pillow was placed behind my neck and relaxed on the bedrest. My both hands folded around my chest.There was a knock on my door."It's Alexis", Alexis echoed from outside."Come in , the door is open" I muttered with my legs still crossed and my countenance like that of someone who lost a loved one. Actually I lost someone but then surely not a love one. It had an effect on me that I lost Carl but then I was sure it wasn't a bad effect but rather it was a good one. I couldn't fully celebrate this freedom and Victory because of Brad's remarks towards what I did. His suspense was cutting deep into my heart. Having a heavy heart and still trying to guess what someone might be thinking was really h

    “Carlo! Calogero! Mary! Where are you all at!?” John Wicks’ voice echoed in the Wicks mansion. There was a hide and seek game between one of the richest man in Naples, Italy. He rolled from one point to the other with a white fabric covering his sight. His hands were swinging around like a floss dancer.The kids were chortling and rushing from behind one couch to the other. It was a great sight to behold. You’d agree with me that finding rich families having such family time is rare or better still impossible to see which causes a deficiency in the mental growth of kids.“You can’t see us dad!” Carlo, the youngest twin, whiffed while standing beside the white settee, very close to the packed brown Curtain. Calogero was on the other end with his mom holding his hand with Mary’s too. “I got you!!” Mister Wick snickered and grabbed Carlo from behind. Carlo struggled in his grasped while he tickled him. They were still enjoying the splendid moment when all of a sudden there was a loud

    " What's wrong Alina?" Adrian questioned with his eyes widely opened in shock as to the way and swiftness with which I sprouted up from the couch."Zelda and Chloe" I said and my hands pressed around my head. I never thought about it but then Tiana was going to get to them if I didn't get to them first. I told her she was my only family. I paced the room very distressed. My heart throbbing out of my body."Zelda and Chloe? What happened to them?" He queried with a stressed gaze and narrowed brows and eyes. I pulled himself up from the bed with his bare chest popping right in my face as I wasn't so far from him." They are in danger. Zelda and her daughter are really in danger. I stayed in her house whilst I worked at the mansion. Tiana knows her and I am very sure she is going to want to get to her. She is going to want to inquire from her where I am because we had lied to her that we are siblings. Tiana is surely going to question her if not harm her" I spat and my hands started shak

The two buttons at the top of my shirt close to my neck was left unhooked now enabling my broad chest pop out. It is five minutes past seven and this is party time. I run my hands in my hair with swag and then with long stride I bounce out of my room feeling a little nervous but still looking forward to this.I walk downstairs and the sound of distant indistinct chatter gives me the heads-up that the whole of downstairs is choked. I walk majestically down the staircase and now I can see my invitees or rather my dad's invitees, mostly his business partners and other renowned folks."Hi Dad"I said to my dad now In the party arena.

    Authors POV Mia was in her room the next morning. She was pondering on her encounter with her supposed arch enemy, John. She sat on the bed, feeling much better than she felt the other night.The flashback of how John came so close to her yesterday stuck to her brain. It was a feeling that she couldn’t explain, just like genuine love, but she didn’t think it was love, probably immense disgust.Her hands wrapped around her chest, she sat on the bed silently and also strayed her thoughts to the new bride, or rather old wife as she claimed. The colossal part of Mia felt she overreacted about the whole situation. Why was she even angry? Was she married to Him or was he entitled to telling her about his past life? Irrespective of this incongruent thought of hers, she still felt bad, or rather angry.“Good day, ma’am”. A voice popped from outside which was accompanied with a knock on the door. It was the new cook “Yes, please come in” The cook came in with a tray in his hand. It had the

    My heart raced so fast when Lucifer walked into the room. Thankfully, before he walked in, I collected Rogers hoodie and wore. I was sure he saw him when he came in and that’s why he came to my room. Lucifer never visited me so late at night, so the red flag was very glaring.I managed to convince him and he left the room not so suspicious. Thanks to God that my ears are very sharp and I heard the creaking floor boards as he approached. I guess God was on my side too.“That was a close one” I sighed with my hand pressing my chest after he left. Rogers who hid behind the curtains also came out.“You need to leave now!!” I snapped at him as he tried grabbing my arm romantically.“ and why should I?” He held my cheeks and tried kissing me but I tossed him aside.“Don’t do that again… please” he dragged and looked at me sternly. I looked back at him and held my breathe. A little bit of fear gripped me as I remembered what I had seen in his house. The drugs I saw made me a little terrified

    " hi, Mister," A young chap greeted me with the Spanish accent. He was a bright looking boy. He had a confused smile on his face. With his blonde short hair." Good day Chap, you must be Jose ain't it?"I queried and squatted down to his level. He stared at me befuddled, but then I was smiling at him. He had a clear face and did have semblance with his father."Yes I'm Jose, how do you know my name, Mister?" He questioned with a childish voice. His left eye was slightly closed. I was about to answer, when there was a thunder clap.I looked upwards and the clouds where forming and sure a heavy rain was about wetting the soil."nada de qué preocuparse, chico (Nothing to worry about boy)" I said in Spanish. I scoffed and placed my hand on his face. " Jose, con quién estás hablando? (Jose who are you talking to?)" A feminine voice resounded from behind.

    " Why did you summon us all? Brad snapped at me. It was the next day after I came back from Carl's house and I summoned everyone to the living room for a pack meeting. Carl was also invited but he hadn't arrived then."Just wait for Carl, there is something important I have to discuss and share with everyone." I said while Brad folded his hand gloating at me.The whole pack members were gathered and itching to hear what I had in store. Usually, I always did the listening but this time, doing the speaking did come with some ecstatic feeling."I don't have the whole fucking day Alina, you either speak now or I will waltz out of here."Brad bawled pointing his hand at me. My hands were now folded."Calm down Brad, she has never asked for permission to speak so give her this one chance"Lady Macbeth said. She seized a moment with my glare. We gaped at each other and she nodded first with a smile and blinked her eyes for about half a minute."Okay then" Brad said and sat back on his seat.

    " You stand there and tell me you are sorry?" I bellowed. I brought the knife very close to his neck. He stayed there and moved not. "I do not care what you want to do with me. I know whatever comes my way from you, I really do deserve it. I was a son of a bitch and treated you like scum. You did everything to please me, but I was too stupid to have seen it." He voiced with a shaky voice that passed so many emotions, like a strummed guitar. His hands are still pointing downwards. His eyes quirked a second. I glared at him for seconds. My hands trembled as I had a very strong grasp on the knife. My face contorted and my eyes narrowed. All I felt in me was total bitterness. I really felt the urge to stab him but I was trying so hard to resist the demon." I just feel like killing you Rogers!!!! " I growled and placed the side of the sharp knife to his throat. I pressed slowly, but then it tipped on his neck. Suddenly blood started dripping little by little. I gnashed my teeth and wa

    "When we have cookies, I play a game with her", Zelda said smiling and also relaxed on a seat." Game? What game is that?" I inquired, quite eager to find out what it was. My hands were laid on the table and eyes fixed on Mrs Zelda."It's a kind of questioning and truth" she said." Do you mean truth or dare?" "No, not that. Now the question and truth session is slightly different from truth or dare. In this game, before you pick a Cookie, someone would ask you a question and you have to be truthful to the core to answer the questions asked or the God of cookies is gonna take the cookies away." Her mom said and I chuckled." Disclaimer, Its just fiction and it's just some fun thing I do with her . She think it's true, so I use it to get answers from her when she lies to me because she loves cookies so much" her mom whispered to me because she was seated beside me.
