Charles had spent the night at the veterinary clinic. Two of his German shepherds had suffered from a food allergy. And were sick as a result.

For weeks, a lot had happened in the Parker house that his attention had been shifted away from his dogs. He thought the dogs would be fine since they were in the care of one of their many aides whose only job in the house was to take care of the dogs.

But someone had mistakenly fed the dogs chicken and that had left them under the weather.

"Pray nothing happens to them," Charles furiously told Theophilus, who had gone to the veterinary clinic with him.

He kept pacing about in the clinic as others who had gone to the clinic to also have their dogs checked kept staring at him.

Some of them recognized him. Who did not know the famous Charles Parker of Purple City? Almost everyone knew who he was, but he did not care about the looks people cast at him. At this moment, all he cared about was his dogs.

"But how stupid can you get?" He fired Theo

    It was already a new day. Charles got out of bed and glanced at the wall clock, it was 10 am. How did he doze off, eventually? He thought. The previous night, he had struggled to shut his eyes. He had spent the night thinking about how to get the best medical care for his dogs. He made calls and texted a few people he knew at other veterinary clinics to inquire whether he could transfer his dogs over for better treatment. For a second he thought, the clinic he had sent his dogs lacked resources. If for nothing at all, he was a Parker and was in the capacity to get the best of everything. Charles entered the washroom to wash his mouth and brush his teeth. He was greeted by luxury. The exquisite and modern designs and opulent features of his bathroom lit him up a bit. He smiled and brushed his teeth. When he was done and about to step out, he chanced on his phone lying on a black marble countertop. The countertop had a built-in wireless charging pad that ensured that his phone wa

    A month had passed and Tracy was fully adjusting to Louisa's house. The few weeks she had stayed there made her feel like an outsider who was taking advantage of her friend's kindness. The thought of having Mrs Briggs together with them made her feel like she was an opportunist. She thought her presence had overshadowed her friend and prevented her from being herself. So she sat her down one time when Mrs Briggs was in the kitchen and said, "Louisa, I genuinely appreciate your kindness and support over the past weeks, but I feel I have overstayed my welcome." "What do you mean by that?" Louisa, who was watching a television show, paused the show and asked. "You see, I have not only invaded your privacy by being here, but I have denied you the freedom you deserve to move about freely in your own house" Tracy mumbled.Although Louisa agreed with her to an extent, since she had not been able to walk naked in her house. Before they came, she would walk naked from the bathhouse to t

    The night was young. But the anxiety of an unforgettable night out with Fiona got Charles monitoring the wall clock.Immediately the clock struck eight, he knew it was showtime. He moved the curtains on his window and gazed at the glowing lights of the streets that had painted a beautiful set of colours across the darkening sky.For a moment he gazed at the lights and imagined how beautiful his night could get.But he did not waste much time in the land of imagination and dashed off into the bathroom. And within ten minutes he was done bathing. He gazed at the clock and this time it was nine. As he rushed to dress up, he slipped and almost hit his head on the floor.It was at this point that he thought to calm down and take things slowly. Having applied all the body lotion and hair cream, it was time to put on his tuxedo. He had ordered it, especially for his night out with Fiona. As he stood in front of the full-length mirror, he adjusted the impeccably tailored tuxedo to fit prop

    "Oh my head," Albert said after waking up from sleep. His breath smelled of alcohol and Chris wasted no time in telling him, "Dude, your breath stinks. Go wash your mouth already." Albert, who had slept on the couch, dragged his feet to use the washroom when he noticed the presence of a third force seated next to the window that opens into the street. "Hey, man! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at work by now?" He said. "You crazy ass son of a bitch. I should hit you in the face for scaring the shit out of us last night," the third force who happened to be Charles replied. "What is this one talking about?" Albert asked Chris and started moving towards Charles."Hey, stay right there with your stinking mouth. I'm not close to you but I can smell your breath from here," Charles warned. "He's talking about you getting wasted last night. Don't you remember? You looked like you were dead" Chris swiftly answered. "How much did you drink last night?" He further queried."I don'

    It was almost midday and the sun was yet to shine in its full glory. The day appeared slow and lazy. Especially for anyone who found him or herself in the residential areas of Purple City.The residential neighborhood of the city was characterized by calm and peace of mind. And on most days, the place almost felt like a ghost town as most people would have left for work.But the class and wealth that resides in this part of the city could never be subdued.Anywhere you turn, there was an element of luxury that served as a constant reminder of the worth of that neighborhood. Expensive front designs. Luxurious cars such as Range Rovers, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Bentley and a few other expensive cars could be seen in front of most of the houses.Only a select few were privileged to own a home in the residential part of Purple City. And the Parkers have been fortunate to live in such a neighborhood and have rubbed shoulders with most of the rich and mighty in politics, music and even foo

    The room was quiet and nerves were calmed. Charles was yet to give a piece of in-depth information about who was dead. He did not know how to let it out considering how his father felt about Fiona.But Chris pinched him and whispered into his ears to boldly tell his parents. Charles heeded his friend’s words and blurted it out. “It was in the news,” Charles said.“What was in the news?” His mother asked. “Did you guys not hear the news about the fire outbreak at the Golden Moon nightclub?” he asked.“Well. I did, but what does it matter?” Eddy asked. “I was there last night, father. And all that happened immediately we left,” he said and pointed to Chris and Albert to indicate that they were with him.“But you came out unhurt and that is good news. Besides, I did not know that you were there. And although it wouldn't hurt to know your whereabouts, you are a big boy to decide what to tell me and what not. But the most important thing is that you and your friends escaped that night and

    The living room was left in an awkward silence. A lady who did not live at the Parker house had entered the living room and sat down without being permitted to.Edward, who was standing, sat back on the couch as Cynthia and Charles sat adjacent in a chair next to his. The Parkers were wondering how the strange lady was allowed entry considering the tight security post in place.But the strange lady looked comfortable and her posture in her seat made Charles wonder some more. Who was this mystery woman he thought. But before he could further make his deductions and arrive at a possible conclusion as to who the lady was, his mum broke the silence.“Angie! What are you doing here? How did you get past the gates?” Cynthia asked in a surprised tone. The lady in question was Angelina but she called her Angie because of the history they had together.Years ago, Angelina and Cynthia were the best of friends.The two grew up in the same neighborhood, attended the same college and were roommate

    The atmosphere at St Anthony Hospital was filled by the sounds of sirens blaring from all angles of the hospital. It was just half past midday and already over thirty patients had been brought in by the ambulance.The smell of antiseptic could not be coiled within the four walls of the hospital.While some visitors sat in the visitor’s area, Doctors and nurses who were on duty rushed down the hallway to attend to their patients. And a few other patients were wheeled across the hallway to their rooms.Charles had nearly created a scene at the hospital. Upon his arrival with his friends, he had wanted to enter the hospital with his dogs and when he was refused entry, he got mad.“Sir, you cannot go inside with the dogs. Please, you may have to leave them outside if you must enter the facility.” One of the security guards informed him.It took the intervention of Chris and Albert to reason with him and calm his nerves.“Charles, you cannot blame the guard or get mad at him.

    Two weeks passed and Tracy was a little sober due to the information she got from her lawyer.Her lawyer had advised that she get Mr Parker arrested first, before arraigning him for court and eventually getting him behind bars.Tracy had received assurance from her lawyer that the evidence was enough to win the court case and punish Mr Parker.On a sunny day when the sun was making some people wear extra layers of sunscreen just to prevent the rays of the sun from having direct contact with their skin, Tracy didn't seem to care much.She only had a cap on and in her company were two police officers, Jason and Uriel.Mr Edward Parker was seated on the couch, while Jean sat in another filing her nails."Tracy, what a pleasant surprise," Eddy said the moment he saw Tracy who entered with a laptop in her left armpit and a photo portrait in her right hand."I wish, what brought me here is as pleasant as you claim my visit," Tracy said."Tracy, language," Uriel said.

    "June, is everything okay? For the past two days you have been indoors without saying a word to anyone," Jean said immediately as she entered her sister's room.June sat in one corner of her bedroom, her hair was begging for the feel of a comb. As tears rolled down her soft cheeks."June, will you say something already? Your silence is killing me," Jean said. But her sister would still not utter a word."Anyway, I went to visit Mother yesterday and she asked to see you," she informed her sister.Jean realized her sister would not say anything but cry. So she left her side.Three minutes later, Jean entered with her Dad and said, "Father, June has been like this for hours. She won't say anything to me,"Eddy moved towards June and just as he was about to grab her shoulder, she said, "Don't you dare touch me,""June! What has come over you? Why do you talk to your father like that?" She queried her sister.Eddy's eyes were wide open as waves of shock went down his body. If anyone woul

    "Good day, Tracy," the lawyer greeted and entered Tracy's house. She walked her in and offered her a seat. Tracy dashed off to the kitchen to get some drinks for her lawyer when she heard the doorbell ring. "Don't worry, I got it," Uriel said and walked to the door to check who had knocked."Who is it?" Tracy asked at the top of her voice while she was in the kitchen.But there was no response from her uncle.Tracy walked back into the living room with a Tray supporting an apple juice and a glass.Slowly, she lowered the drink onto the coffee table next to the lawyer while she kept her eyes on the guest who had been walked in by her uncle."Careful with that," Uriel said when he realized his niece almost dropped the Tray on the floor."Right," she responded and shifted her attention to the drink for a second and then back to the guest."It's you! Where have you been and how did you know where I live?" Tracy queried.The guest was none other than Jason."I'm so sorry Lawyer," Tracy a

    "Tracy, what's going on?" June called me saying something that I could not quite understand. "What's the matter?" Louisa asked."Cyril tells me you have not been to the office in days now. Is everything okay?" She asked.Tracy stood on the edge of the couch, with her legs on the seat on the chair as she watched Louisa talk."Tracy, won't you say anything?" She asked after her friend refused to say a word, ""Uncle, you are here. Good day sir," Louisa greeted the second she saw Uriel."Good day, my daughter. How have you been and most importantly, how's your baby girl doing?" He asked."I'm doing well uncle and Tracy is also doing quite well. I would have brought her here but Mrs Briggs advised she's too young to be taken out," she responded."That's fine. I'm sure eventually we would get to see her," he added."Uncle," she called the attention of Uriel. "Yes, my child," he responded swiftly."Why is Tracy like this? Why won't she say anything to me?" She asked.Tracy's phone lying on

    "What the hell are you doing here?" Tracy asked June immediately as she walked in."Errm, what's that supposed to mean? What's going on?" She asked."What is that supposed to mean? This is my house and I don't want you here. So just get out," Tracy screamed. The noise from the living room drew Uriel's attention and he rushed down to the hall."What's going on here?" He asked. "Oh, uncle, you are here," June said."I just got here and Tracy would not let me even sit. She just asked me to leave without provocation," June explained.Uriel got the drift and understood why his niece was asking June to leave. He walked to Tracy and held her by the shoulder and said, "Child, you don't need to vent your anger on her. She has done nothing wrong,""I just don't care uncle," Tracy said and removed her uncle's hand from her shoulder."I don't want her here and that is final," she added and turned away.While she looked away, the doorbell rang and it was Henry."Good day uncle," he greeted.

    "You mean Jason has been sending you anonymous letters? Why didn't you say anything to me?" Uriel asked Tracy."Well, I didn't know who he was until you just disclosed his name. And I didn't think anything serious of the letters till he made some revelations to me," Tracy said.Uriel, who was seated on a chair, got up and walked slowly towards Tracy and asked, "What revelations?" Tracy, feeling broken and hurt, paused for a second to allow the tears to roll down her face."My child, you have barely said anything. Why are you crying? What did Jason say to you?" He asked."Come on darling. I'm your uncle, you can talk to me," he insisted after his niece went mute suddenly."Tracy, would you talk to me? What is the problem?" He asked again after noticing the sobbing of Tracy had intensified.He reached for a tissue on the center table and slowly he started to wipe her tears."Jason told me some things that are still shaking my world," she finally broke her silence hesitantly."He did?

    "Father, it's been days since our mother was taken away and you've not made any effort to go and see her," Jean said immediately as she walked in on her father in the living room."I thought you loved her? So what changed so suddenly that you seem not to care about her again?" She asked.Eddy got up from his chair, looked at the face of his daughter and then paced up and down without saying a word."Father, I thought you were going to say something?" She asked again."And what is there to say? I'd be lying to myself if I told you that I'm even thinking straight," Eddy responded swiftly."First, my sister does the unthinkable and now she is behind bars. Then my wife. Not forgetting the mess at the Parker company as we speak, and you dare ask about your mother?" He asked"Where do I even start from? I've lost everything," he said as water formed in his eyes."You can start anywhere, father. Make some calls, and talk to some of your influential people. I don't know but just do something.

    A week passed.Tracy paced up and down the living room.Her nanny had gone to be with Louisa while June was with her family.Brooks was all alone contemplating whether or not to go and meet the anonymous fellow who had been sending her letters.The previous night, Tracy received yet another letter from this unknown person instructing her to meet up in a secluded environment."Why would this person want to meet me in the woods? As if his identity was not mysterious enough, this fellow wants me to meet up in the forest. Why the forest of all places?" She said out loud since she was the only person at home."What if the person is evil? Or has some devilish motive? Why on earth should a meet-up in the woods be appropriate and not anywhere open here in the city?" Tracy struggled with mind-boggling questions as she kept moving up and down the room."But what If the person is real and has genuine intentions? I guess my mind is playing tricks on me," she said."Well, I can never be too care
