It has been five days after Christmas, I couldn't forget the fun we had that day, I will be lying if I say that I wasn't Graceful. I had fun that day and so was everybody. The smiles on our faces were like no other. It was a Christmas to remember.

For the first time, since Amanda's death, I have seen that life hasn't lost its colour.

A smile made a way to my face remembering my uncle Obama's behaviour like a child that day, gone was his quiet and authoritative nature.

The way he looked at Evelyn and smiled at her even when she is not looking at him. For the first time, I want a man to look at me that way, thinking about that my mind drifted back to one handsome Greek god.

Pain shot through my heart remembering his engagement.

"Nana, we are already late. What are you still doing inside your room." Hearing Milly's voice brought me out of my thought. I wonder why I feel like someone has collected what belonged to me when we don't even know each other apart from our night together which wa

    I took a deep breath as I looked at the skyscraper. It is already three weeks after the new year event. I was given one week to resume my work after the new year celebration.It has been almost a week since I resumed work yet whenever I stepped into this place, it seems I'm stepping into a lion's den. I can't deny the ominous feeling I get whenever I'm inside the building.I'm always nervous, I looked at the tall skyscraper and took a deep with a smile "Remember who is Lina? You have to do this as always." I murmured under my breath before holding my black bag tightly. I walked confidently inside the building."Good morning miss lina." "Good morning miss nona." I greeted the receptionist back with a smile before walking into the elevator.I work on the 47 floors since the building is up to the 58 floors. The elevator was quite empty, and I wondered why. I shrugged my shoulder and pressed the elevator to my floor.I looked at my appearance in the glass mirror in the elevator with a s

    "Miss Lina, why are you late?" His masculine golden voice brought me out of my thought. I quickly composed myself and straighten up."I'm sorry sir, I wasn't aware of the meeting...." "I'm sorry for her mistake, she is new here. And as the HOD (head of design.)of her department. Her not being informed about it is also my fault so please spare her once this time sir." Mrs Gina cut me off and took the blame on herself. I was surprised was an understatement of what I felt. I looked at Tracey and I could see a look of surprise flash across her eyes.With the rumour, I heard about her when I came in here. I started doubting whether it was trueEven one within and outside the department knew her as someone who won't take shit and irresponsibility from anyone."I never asked you, Mrs Gina. Miss Lina's attitude has nothing to do with you." My heart beat in its ribcage. I felt...His brown chocolate orb eyes stared back at me intensely."Miss Lina should know the rules of this place as she ha

    I watched as he picked it up and smirked: " Hello grandma." His voice was gentle as he said that while looking at me. I leaned back on the swirl chair wondering what I should be doing as he was busy with his call."Grandma, you are back?" His always emotionless voice held unnoticeable excitement in it. His words made me look up and look at him, but unable to hold his long and intent stare even while on phone, I bit my lips and looked away.I wonder what in God's name is wrong with me? Why do I always feel nervous and have unknown emotions? What is this feeling for?"Brian relax, don't bother to pick me up moreover, I'm already on my way to the estate." I looked at him again, this time when I heard the voice of the person on the other side. Her voice seems strangely familiar but regardless, I'm unaware of where I have heard that voice from. I probably didn't hear what she said before now. "Are you going back to the estate? why don't you come and stay with me for a few days? Grandma

It was already getting dark and it was snowing.Still clad in my work cloth but this time my black jacket covered my blouse.This city is always busy, unlike London. Which was CoolI couldn't help but remember what Mrs Gamma said in the office. I was never supposed to attract attention. I wanted to give my best in the company but my intention was never to bring unmistakable attention to myself.I knew the gramadi star collection was growing higher. "Due, I'm giving you this project." She looked me in the face and said" to handle but you are not going to be the only one handling it. You will be doing so with two more people. Tarantino and Belle will be your assistants while the three others that will help out, their names will be sent out to you in your email account." I was

    The disappointment on Brian's face became apparent after Lina left his office. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. Even due, there was an investigation going on but he couldn't help but try to know whether she could remember him or their memories together and that was why he turned on the volume of his phone when his grandmother called.His grandmother was among the few ones that knew about his relationship with her before he left the country for studies.Lina loved his grandma so much. Brian remembered when she always told him that she loved his grandma's sweet voice then.Brian was disappointed when she couldn't recall grandma through her voice.He looked at her face to know whether there will be a little change in her face but it remained emotionless.One of the main reasons, Brian came into the office today was because of her. He was very much obsessed to see her, so much that he made an opportunity and rescheduled his schedule to be able to see her."Sir, the board membe

    "Sir, we have arrived." The chauffeur announced. Before anyone could open the door, Brian opened the car and stepped out of the car He inhaled the air which helped to calm his raging heart down.He looked around the mansion and noticed how calm the mansion was.Well, the mansion was never calm especially after his relatives came back, especially his cousins.Immediately he stepped inside the large sitting room. The silent large luxurious sitting room greeted him, surprised, Brian looked around wondering where everyone was.He decided to check the whole house, getting closer to the dining room.

    "Nana, are you okay?" Evelyn asked for the ninth time since this dinner resumed. I nodded absent-mindedly.Seriously, a lot of things has been going through my mind and honestly, food is the least of my problem. After the call with the strange number. I became more conscious about my surrounding. I was afraid for the first time in five years. I might tolerate anything but not someone taking Fred away from me. He is my life and only family. I don't know whether I can last long without seeing him beside me to shout "Nana" always. Since I answered that call I haven't been myself.I traced the number, I wasn't surprised when I found out that the caller was from Wilson's mansion from what I saw, it is no other one than old grandpa Wilson or grand general.Now someone from the Wilson family. A family which has done nothing but abandoned my sister to die and baby (Fred), causing Amanda's demise. They rose all of a sudden to threaten me to hand Fred over to them, (what a joke.) and I'm begin

As almost everyone wasn't around.Mrs Evelyn paced around the living room with her phone in her hand."Stop pacing around Liv, you are making me dizzy," Peter said, his voice holding a hint of tiredness in it.

Only the sounds of the keyboard could be heard in the quiet executive room which came to an abrupt end as the sound of ringtones invaded the semi-quiet luxurious room.Brian picked up his phone without looking at the screen and put it near his ear."Hello, Mr Brian speaking."

The chauffeur stayed till Fred entered the school compound before driving away.Not far away, a black Mercedes Benz was parked. Inside the car, an old man sat at the back of the car with an unpredictable expressionless face.

I groaned in pain as a great migraine hit me.I groan again and held my head slightly as I managed to sit up. My stomach rumbled as great nausea hit me. I covered my mouth and took a deep breath to shove it down. I held the edge of the bed and managed to stand up even due, my leg wobbled. I covered my mouth and ran towards my toilet as great nausea hit me again. I held my stomach as I tried to throw up but honestly, nothing serious came out except acid which is a result of lack of food.I didn't eat well throughout yesterday. I think that was the reason why I felt this great nausea. I opened the tap and raised my mouth before walking back to my room. I couldn't think we'll because of a migraine. I searched my drawer for my pills. Well, I have been taking pills for a long time since I was seventeen years old but this migraine
