It was a brand new day in a brand new week and Purple City was already active.At just eight in the morning, people left for work and school-going kids hopped on to their school buses to school. The birds were in the sky doing their thing and having a great time - chirping and circling in the sky.And from the look of things, the day was bound to be a great one. But Fiona felt otherwise.She stood at the window of her house while she stared at the Parker house.There was some rage that was burning from within her. She wanted to do something to let it out.Having gazed at the house for a long time, she dashed back into the bedroom to see her husband who was getting ready for work.She chuckled at him for no reason and exited the house in her pajamas. But her husband didn't think anything of it and just looked away.Ten minutes later, Fiona was in the Parker house yet again to trouble Eddy and his wife."You again? I thought I warned you to never step foot in this house again?" Eddy as
The day was almost over and people were returning to their homes after a long day's work.School kids from various schools were dropped off from school buses in front of their respective homes.While some ran into their homes, others were walked by their parents who had gone to receive them from the buses.Inside the Parker house, however, the family were having a little chit chat while the television was on and playing in the background "Cynthia honey, why did you lie to your son earlier? You should have told him about what his wife came to do here," Eddy said."What was the point baby? He was all set and ready for work. The last thing I wanted was to put him in the wrong frame of mind," Cynthia said."He needed all the sanity and concentration he could have for work and that's why I had to do what I did," she added."Maybe you probably should have just told him," Jean, who was seated on the couch opposite her parents, said.Ever since she had a problem in her relationship with her
"So you finally decided to come home. I'm sure you passed her end before coming home, that's why you are late today," Fiona said the moment her eyes fell on her husband.Charles had entered looking disturbed and worried. But his wife's jealousy and rant would not let her read between the lines to decode what could be wrong with her husband."Not now okay," Charles said and dialed some number on his phone."Oh so now you have the effrontery to call your lover in my presence?" Fiona said in an accusing tone."You are mad," Charles said and walked out on her to the bedroom to make his call."Me? Mad? It is you who is mad. Foolish man," Fiona said after her husband walked away.Back in the bedroom, Charles was on the phone pleading."Come on Rupert. You can't quit now. Not when things are looking blurry. I do agree that you have been faithful to our company for so many years and I appreciate that. But you can't leave now, please," Charles said over the phone.Rupert and Stacy had sent him
The day was just starting and everyone was going about their business.Along the stretch of the road was Charles's car. He has been pulled over by the police for overspending. But fortunately for him, it was his friend James who had stopped him."Charles, I thought this behavior was a thing of the past. The last time something like this happened was about a year or so ago and even then I had to come to your rescue," James said.While he spoke, Charles, who had plaster covering the top of his eyebrow that was cut during his argument with Fiona stood there and said nothing."I can't keep making excuses for you when you commit an offense against the law," James added."Just arrest me, James. Just take me to prison because I'm sure it will be better there. I'm just tired," Charles said in a low tone."You know I can't do that. I can only cover up for you this one time and hope that you will not go back to this behavior of going against the law," James said."I know it's been a long time
Chris and Albert were at home conversing."But seriously, if you were a lady and asked me to marry you, I would not hesitate in saying yes," Albert said to Chris who was sitting on the couch playing with his phone."What? Why would you say that?" Chris asked."Come on bro. Can't you see all that you have done for me? Aside from providing me with a roof over my head, you help me financially too. Who does that in this era?" Albert asked."Me!" Chris responded sarcastically to Alberts's question."But sorry I'm not going to ask you to marry me because neither of us is gay. And even if you were a lady, I doubt I would have because the vibe between us is more of a friendly one which I doubt could transcend into something else," Chris said."Wait what? Are you saying I'm not attractive or what?" Albert asked."Oh come on. Why would you say a thing like that? And why are we even having this conversation?" Chris asked."Oh, it's nothing. I'm just overwhelmed with your love and support over th
It's been four months now since Charles spoke to Chris to borrow some funds from his wine company to sort out some debt at the Parker Enterprise. But nothing seems to have worked. Emerald had signed three new big-time clients and these were clients that Charles was working with.The thought of the turn of events made Charles mad and confused.How was it possible to have lost all clients in just a short space of time? He thought.Charles was standing by the window of his bedroom looking into the streets as thoughts kept crippling in and out of his mind.Then Fiona entered to get some files to go for antenatal care. As soon as she lifted the files, it reminded Charles of the time he had mysteriously seen a document he thought was missing in his car.Charles quickly turned to his wife and said, "Fiona. What did you do?""What do you mean by that? What did I do?" She asked back."How did the documents I brought home some time ago suddenly appear in my car?" Charles asked."Are you seriou
"I must admit that work has been hectic in the past couple of days. I have not had enough rest and trust me, if it were up to me, I'd sleep forever," Henry said.He was sitting together with Tracy on her rooftop as they had a little conversation."Are you trying to die or something? Because it's only the dead who sleep forever," Tracy said."Not at all. Knowing you is enough reason for one to fight for life and keep going no matter what," he responded."Good. Because that scared me," Tracy said softly."It did? So you care that much about me?" He asked."Of course I do. Who is going to make me feel special and book a whole restaurant for my sake when you go? So you see? No matter how twisted it may sound, you don't have the right to die. At least not in the next eight years," Tracy said."Eighty years? But that's far away. I'm thirty-two years old now, so the next eighty years makes it one hundred and two years, that is if I'm alive to see that day," Henry said."If you say the next s
"Here comes the bride. Here comes the bride. Here comes the bride, who is the husband?" June said in an exciting tone while she paced about in the living room.Tracy, Louisa and Mrs Briggs were all seated watching June's display.Tracy could not help but smile all through."Seriously, today is the happiest day of my life," June added."And why is that so?" Louisa asked."Isn't it obvious? My friend who has been like a sister over the years is getting married soon and that is why,* she responded."But you are not the one getting married so relax," Louisa added."I Should relax? Oh, do you know how long I've been waiting for a day like this?" June asked."I never imagined Tracy would say yes to another man after what she went through. And now that she has found true love and life is looking good for her, you don't think it's a reason enough to be excited for her?" She asked."I do understand you June. And I appreciate the gesture. Seriously. From the depth of my heart, I do," Tracy cut
