He broke out in cold sweat, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his legs started wobbling.He fell to his knees and kowtowed several times, pleading “I am sorry, boss” he said repeatedly.The man wearing a hat smirked, and drop the gun on the table, he stood on his feet and strode towards the window, the corners of his lips twitched.He glanced at Mr. Stones, whose head is bowed and his body trembling intensely. “I would have killed you, but, the organization will be asking questions, I don't want anyone to know I have a daughter,” he said, and turned to Mr. Stones, who has raised his head to look at him.He nodded without uttering a word “good, then, find out the hospital she is in, and report to me” he instructed, and face the window.Mr. Stones stood on his feet, relief washed over him “I will do so, Boss, do you want to visit her?” he asked, but he took back his words and fled when his Boss's lips curled up.At dusk, Madam Vanessa arrived at the hospital, she wore an eyegl
At the Agora's family mansion, everyone in the family gathered for dinner, when they are done eating, Madam Vanessa looked at Mayor Lycan.“Have you decided the date of the engagement party?” she inquired.Mayor Lycan stiffened after hearing that question, he shook his head, the images of that night have started flooding his mind. He couldn't wait for his steward Philip to return, so he could find out what happened that night.“I have not, mother, we will come up with a date,” he said and glanced at his fiancée dotingly, she blushed.Madam Vanessa frowned, she could sense her son is stalling“I don't think there is a need to delay it, this weekend is the best time, all the preparation will be done” as the matriarch of the family, her words are laws and orders, and no one dares counter her.She stood from the dining table and left, Arnold chuckled and leaned on his chair “why do I feel like someone will be a dad soon” he teased.Mayor Lycan angrily stormed out of the dining table, Arno
While they were caught in the heat of their enclosure, the door burst open.“I…” the words about to be spoken by Arnold, Mayor Lycan's brother, stuck in his throat when he saw the scene on the bed.His heart twitched painfully, he couldn't believe his eyes, he turned around and slammed the door, and the sound resounded in the room, startling Mayor Lycan and Mora.Mora jumped in fright, Mayor Lycan felt guilty, he moved from the bed, and sat in the chair “I do apologize for my brother's misbehaviour, is he your boyfriend?” he asked, eyeing the gifts he brought earlier.Mora's eyes widened in shock, she explained calmly “Oh-” Mayor Lycan nodded “I think my brother likes you a lot, I can tell by his reaction” he told Mora, who looked at him and sighed heavily.“I have a boyfriend,” she said and pouted, Mayor Lycan's heart became heavy, and he couldn't explain how he feel.He stood, “I will go and see the doctor,” he told Mora, and strode out of the room.When he came back from the doctor
After venting his frustration on his car, he got in, and started the car, he sped off.--In the evening, the doctor finally discharged Mora.“Child, we should get home first, I will go and visit your friend's family” Mama Sarah assured Mora once again.She nodded dutifully, and the both of them left the hospital using a cab, .when they arrived home.Mama Sarah left afterwards to see May's family, she arrived at the door. dark clouds have already gathered in the sky.She knocked at the door, and heard a voice ask from the inside, “who is that?” Footfalls started approaching the door, May's mother opened the door, and she looked shocked before she disguised it with a smile unnaturally.“Welcome, Mama Sarah, come in” she ushered her in, the moment they settled down, Mama Sarah cut the chase and pursue the issue “Maureen, did your daughter leave anything behind before leaving for the capital?” she asked.A glint flickered in Maureen's eyes, and she shook her head “not at all, my daughte
“Mora, the owner of the school will understand if you don't go today” Mama Sarah insisted.Mora sighed silently “I know Mom, but that isn't a reason for me to skip work, I missed my pupils,” she told her mother, who doesn't want to let her go.Mama Sarah sat down after trying to convince her daughter from going to work, barely twenty-four hours after being discharged from the hospital, and she is returning to work.“Fine, you can go, I will go to the farm, and see how the workers are doing, don't stress yourself so much” she gave up completely.Mora looked at her with an appreciating smile on her face, “thank you, Mom” she said and got out of the house.She walked to the only primary school in the peasant community, a big frown etched on her face, when she sensed that she was trailed.She turned around and saw a car, some meters away, the entire windshield was tinted, she swept her gaze on the car, before entering the rusted gate.The pupils gathered in assembly, reciting the country
Arnold's ears pricked when he heard what she said, he turned around and shot her a glare.She shrieked and hid behind the school owner, who is her uncle.Mora withdrew her arm from Arnold's grasp, he reached out and grabbed it roughly, his eyes bloodshot.“What is your problem, sir? Why did you rush down to the school to drag me out of the class, what is wrong with you?” she yelled angrily, his actions infuriated her.“You!” he gnawed angrily, her eyes widened in shock.The school owner frowned when he saw what was going on, he tried to stop them from 'causing a scene in the school compound, “please, can you two stop shouting? Here is school” he said, cautioning them.“Yes, Uncle, sack that whore, how dare her to bring a hooligan to the school” Emily chimed in furiously.Arnold glanced at his underlinings, the both of them flexed their muscles, and strode towards Emily and her uncle.Emily stepped backwards, The school owner stared at them in a daze, afraid to take a breath.“Don't la
Mama Sarah was stunned after hearing his explanation, “I will go with you to the police station” Manager Xao said.Mama Sarah nodded, “Which station was she talking to?” she inquired from the boy who reported the matter.“The one in town” he responded, she and Manager Xao left the farm together, immediately some workers on the farm gathered after eavesdropping while they were discussing earlier.They gathered closely, “so, Mora is pregnant!” one of them exclaimed loudly, and the others turned to her.“It seems so, and I don't think the unborn child will belong to Philip” one of them chimed.Another farmer shook his head, “serves her right!” he said with disgust.---Mayor Lycan came down from the campaign lorry after they have canvassed the peasant community, this time, unlike before, they were welcomed warmly.Pretty stood with him, his face shone with the bright light of the sun, he used his handkerchief to wipe out beads of sweat formed on his forehead.One of the party hierarchy m
The officer in charge of the station quickly grabbed what was slipped to him by Emily, and hoarded them.The handle of the door twitched, and the door creaked, a woman stepped in escorted by a man.The three people in the room earlier turned to the woman and the man that entered with her, the officer in charge gave them an askance look to the quite aged woman with a creased worry face “Officer, I am here to bail my daughter, Mora” Mama Sarah said.The officer in charge flared up and slammed his fist on the table and shot up to his feet, “so, you are the woman who gave birth to such an unruly girl!?” he yelled furiously and shot a glare at the two people that just entered.Mama Sarah was startled by his reaction, “Officer, I don't know what you mean by that? My daughter is innocent and can't do such a thing, I watch her grow, she is a sensible and responsible child” she defended her daughter.Emily's corners of lips twitched, she folded her arms and glanced at the aged woman “then cal
