"You may come in," Charles, whose head was buried in some documents, said after he heard a knock on his office door.Spread on his desk were documents with the title 'Latest signee' on top of them."Gracious afternoon," a feminine voice greeted. "Good afternoon," he responded without lifting his head to see who was in his office."Yes, what can I do for you?" He asked with his head still submerged in the documents."Latest signee, I see," the female voice said upon catching a glimpse of what was so important to Charles that he would not lift his head to see who was in his office. Not even for a second."Yes. We just signed five new clients after losing four clients some weeks ago. Is this not wonderful?" He remarked and flipped the pages of one of the documents."This very client right here has signed a five-year contract with us. He is embarking on a charitable project and needs help with the distribution of a million solar panels to some rural areas," he informed her after reading

"I wonder what would have happened had the ambulance been delayed another minute. I am grateful for their swift intervention," Edward said, explaining to his son who was seated next to him at the visitors area of the St Anthony hospital.Cynthia had been rushed in by the ambulance after she choked during lunch.Charles had been at the hospital for the past four hours. He had to rush down to the hospital after his father called him earlier in the day while he was still at work."So what exactly happened?" Charles asked."I don't quite know what happened. All I know is that I was in the gym when all of a sudden I heard voices in the living room. I rushed down only to find your mother unconscious in the arms of Matilda," he said."Unconscious?" He queried and unrolled the sleeves of his shirt."Exactly. Matilda tells me she choked on a poorly cooked carrot. And after she helped your mother to get it out, she suddenly fell to the ground," he informed his son."This is so unbelievable," he

"I'm beginning to wonder whether moving out of your house was ideal because you're present here almost every day" Louisa recalled Tracy's words about some days ago when she made amends with June. Tracy had hinted at the fact that her good friend Louisa spent the better part of her day at her place and almost felt like she never left her friend's house. But that was a remark she made in passing before asking June what she had wanted to ask her."But that was just by the way. So June, what do you want to ask me again?" She recalled again."You have not mentioned anything about your whereabouts since you disappeared weeks ago. I want to believe you have told Louisa and Mrs Briggs everything. But I don't know anything because I had a challenge reaching you," Louisa remembered June's words. "Well, we don't know anything either. All we know Is that she came back from someplace and apologized to us before moving out of my house," Louisa recalled the remarks she made in response to June's

"Oh Jean, it hurts me to say this, but your father is an ingrate," Fiona said to Jean.The two ladies stood in the hallway upstairs right next to the spot that used to display Tracy's portrait but was now occupied by Fiona's portrait."Could you believe that he didn't acknowledge my bravery for standing up to his sister, I mean your aunt Emerald, when she visited Charles at the office?" She said. "I get it that he doesn't like me. Besides, he has never liked me and would probably never like me for the rest of his life. And as someone who is married to a Parker, it brings me much pain to know that I am not fully welcome and appreciated in the family that I married into," she lamented. "I do my best to put up with all the bitterness that is being shown to me for the sake of the man I married because he loves me," she added as Jean listened with rapt attention."But you see, I am human and as such, I have a threshold which means I can tolerate certain things up to a point," she said."

"Mother. Father. Guess what?" Charles said in a cheerful tone as he barged into his parents in the living room. His wife was in his company and just the sight of her made Eddy mad. "What is it?" He asked Charles in an angry tone."Father, are we fighting?" Charles asked after he noticed the tone of his father."I'm not here to pick a fight with you. I'm only here to share some good news with you," he said as smiles lit his face."My son, you look excited, can you tell us already what you have to share?" Cynthia said in a frail voice.The suspense hovering around in the air got Cynthia agitated."Woman, what is there to hear from this son of yours?" Eddy asked. "A disrespectful son who for the sake of a woman dared to slap his sister right in my presence. I don't think I want to have anything or hear anything from such a son," Eddy added."Charles, but why did you do that? That's so unlike you. Please don't do it again," Cynthia said.But Eddy who was unsatisfied with his wife's resp

It was midday and the sun was blazing hot. The heat had overshadowed the air and because of that, the leaves of the trees along the streets of BlueVille stood still and failed to dance.For a second one could conclude that even the trees along the road equally felt the heat.Only a few people walked the streets and some of them could be seen applying sunscreen to avoid the rays of the sun from having direct contact with their face. June was astonished at how the intensity of the sun shot up so quickly."My goodness, I can't believe the sun is scorching this much," she said after she moved away from one side of the windows in the living room.She had pushed the curtain open to allow for some natural sunlight, but the heat from outside would not let that happen so she pulled the curtains back and closed the window.In the living room were Louisa and Tracy who were treating themselves to some noodles and chicken. The two were eating from the same bowl and beside them was a spare fork f

It was midday and the BlueVille Hair Salon was oozing with class and professionalism.The modern designs and sophistication had made it a haven for the rich and mighty in society.The sleek furnishings and soft hues, and a touch of bold white designs created an ambience that was welcoming for all.Fitted on the walls were large calendars displaying an array of modern styles for women to make a selection. The able stylists were on standby to craft the look one desired. And a shelf displayed a wide range of high-quality products. The knob on the transparent glass door turned, and slowly it was pushed open from outside. "Good day, I'd like to have my hair done," Tracy said immediately as she walked into the salon."Right at your service madam. Please come this way," one of the workers welcomed Tracy and walked her to a waiting area of the parlour. There were a few customers who were being attended to, as such Tracy must wait a couple of minutes before she could get her hair done. S

"Errm, Tracy, what is that?" Louisa asked after a moment of awkward silence.Tracy stood in front of Louisa, June and Mrs Briggs. She had a document whose content was not immediately obvious. "W-e-l-l," Tracy hesitated before moving to the side of the other ladies to engage them.She dropped the document onto the coffee table next to the couch and pointed at it saying, "This right here is the jumpstart I need for this new version of me. It is what I believe would not only take my life on a whole new different level but probably be the start of my healing process,""And what are you talking about? What's in it and what healing are you talking about?" Louisa queried."Mrs Briggs," Tracy called out. "Yes darling," Mrs Briggs responded."Do you remember some time back you mentioned and suggested I made the most of my communication studies degree I acquired from school?" She asked."I do my daughter. What about it ?" Mrs Briggs responded and also asked her a question."As of now, it is w

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. "What uncle? Let me spe

"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. "Goo

"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
