"Listen, Leonardo, now that Jean has been calmed, I think we should do something about David now," Fiona said over the phone."Are you out of your mind?" Leonardo asked over the phone."Our asses are currently on fire and you want to do what?" He added."Stop being a chicken. If you are talking about Jean then be rest assured that she will not say a word to my husband," Fiona responded.She deduced that Leonardo's line of conversation stemmed from his fear that Jean had not entirely forgiven them.And there was the likelihood of her still going to stab them in the back.But just as Fiona was about to reason with Leonardo to move on to David and deal with him, Charles screamed from behind her."Fiona!" He screamed and Fiona dropped the phone. "What is going on between you and my sister? Why did she slap Leonardo at the Food Hub restaurant yesterday?" He asked.The phone call was still active so Leonardo heard his friend's question to his wife. Charles could see from the phone screen
June walked hastily from upstairs right to the living room area where her parents were seated."June! Can I have a word with you?"Eddy said. " Not now Dad," She responded swiftly."And where are you going in such a hurry?" Cynthia asked. "Can't you spare a minute to hear what your father has to say?" She added."Not a second," she said, hinting that her restless state was stemming from a matter of urgency."June!" Eddy screamed and got his daughter to pause without taking another step."Okay, one minute," June said, indicating that she could spare a minute to hear what her father had to say and then walked back to them.Eddy was amazed because he hadn't seen his daughter like that before. At least not in a state where she allotted a specific time duration to speak to her.But he overlooked it and said, "What is going on between you and your siblings? ""What are you talking about Dad?" She asked."Your sister told me that you were trying to instigate a fight between Charles and his wi
"Baby, you don't know how excited I am that you decided to stay by my side at home," Fiona said and held her husband from behind and placed her head on his back.Charles was in the kitchen rinsing a glass he had used to drink some juice."Well, after all that drama with June and your stomach cramps, you don't expect me to leave you alone at home," he said and placed the glass on a shelf above the kitchen counter. He turned and kissed his wife."But promise me you will never raise your voice at me again. Never!" She said, referring her husband to when he screamed at her over June's claims."I cross my heart and promise never to raise my voice at you again," he said and kissed her some more.Their tongues locked and the kissing became intense. He put his hand on her butt and rubbed it and then squeezed it hard."Wow, easy Tiger," she pleaded after that hard grab of her backside by her husband. "Keep going sugar. Don't stop," she said in a seductive voice urging her husband to continue
It's been two days since Uriel was discharged from the Woodpine town hospital.And from all indications, he was recuperating at a faster rate."You look healthier today," Said Tracy to her uncle.After that awkward moment with David at the hospital two days ago, Tracy was anxious about what could have made him abandon them at the hospital.And knowing that she could not leave the side of her uncle who was not well.She convinced him to come and stay with her at BlueVille in the interim while she took care of him and followed up with David."I guess it's all thanks to you and Mrs Briggs," he said and turned to Mrs Briggs who was seated on a chair across from where he sat and then smiled at her.On the coffee table next to Uriel's chair was an envelope full of drugs he had been given from the hospital."I guess you equally played a key role in all this," Mrs Briggs said."Had you not taken the drugs when we gave them to you, I'm sure it would have been a different tale altogether," she
Two days passed.David's son had been buried quite earlier than usual due to how his son died.Life looked normal and nothing seemed to be a problem for others living on the other side of town.But inside David's house was pain and hurt. He stood on the grass in front of his house with his arms clutched and looked at the section that caught fire. David could not help but tear up. His eyes were puffy red and the veins around the sides of his head stood out. He had been crying nonstop.Reports from the authorities showed that the fire had been started by a gas leakage from the kitchen."Oh my dear son, please forgive me. Forgive me for making you go through such pain," he said as he looked at the area affected by the fire."I only went out there to work to put food on our table. But I didn't know that what gives me money at the end of the month could take your life. I would have quit if I knew this would ever happen. Son, wherever you are, please forgive me," he lamented and dropped t
"Awww uncle, it gladdens my heart to see you on your feet," Tracy said after she bumped into her uncle in the kitchen."It's all thanks to you and Mrs Briggs. You two have been exceptional hosts," he responded.Tracy had gone to the kitchen to get some fruit when she saw her uncle also fixing himself some fresh lemon juice."But you should have called me to get the juice for you," Tracy said."There was no need for that, my daughter. Besides you and Mrs Briggs have been awesome to me within these few days that I've been here. And I dare say that your great hospitality has contributed immensely to my quick recovery," he said in a flattering tone.Tracy blushed at his words and said, "Thank you uncle. You deserve more than what I've done in these few days," she said."I'm glad you have my interest at heart but you know, I'm equally excited that I'm back on my feet again. I was praying for this day and I'm happy it has manifested," Uriel revealed and chugged his juice.Tracy was curious
"Something interesting just happened," Tracy announced."Tell me about it," June replied."Before your arrival, I bumped into my…" The doorbell rang just before she could complete her statement. "Are you expecting someone?" June queried. "Nope. But I'm sure it's Louisa," Tracy said in an affirmative tone. "Give me a minute," she said and dashed off to the door."Hello Loui…" her words got stuck in her throat upon seeing who was at the door.Her instincts had betrayed her as the one at the door was not Louisa."Good day," a male voice greeted."Good day. How may I be of help?" She queried."I'm a delivery guy and I'm here to deliver a present. Is this not house number twelve?" The delivery guy asked."Nope. That should be the next house," she said pointing to the house adjacent to hers.The delivery guy thanked her and left. She lived in house number eleven."Who is there?" June queried at the top of her voice."It's not Louisa if that's what you want to confirm," she also responded
Uriel's departure had been delayed due to Mrs Briggs' sudden 'illness.'He had wanted to leave the day after the very day he told his niece about plans of leaving for Woodpine.After all, he was now fit and fully recovered from the malaria sickness.But it was already three days and he was still at her niece's."I'm super stoked that nothing serious happened the other day," Uriel told Tracy who sat on the edge of his bed.He was referring to the day Mrs Briggs's pulse could not be felt."Imagine coming over here to aid in my healing process and in the cause of that I jeopardize the life of another. I would hate myself for the rest of my life. And that's why I'm so happy your nanny is alright now," Uriel said, feeling some form of relief.Days ago, Mrs Briggs had collapsed upon hearing that Uriel wanted to leave back for Woodpine.For a second, her pulse could not be felt but after a proper check, her pulse could be felt again.What had made her collapse? The sound of Uriel leaving? Tr
Three years after their marriage, Tracy got pregnant with her second child and everyone was happy for them.She was also back on TV and won several awards for her show and her TV station.Her uncle Uriel and Mrs Briggs hit it off and were together as lovers. The two found comfort in each other's company and lived in Tracy's house since Tracy moved in with her husband.Tracy took charge of the Parker enterprise and the company made a comeback and took the number one spot on the market yet again.She made sure to maintain Rupert and Stacy after she heard of their wonderful input in the past.Tracy made Jason her chauffeur and gave him one of the bedrooms in her father's house since most of the rooms were empty.Jason was made head over David, Matilda, Theophilus and the other aides who still worked at the Parker house.June and Jean lived in harmony with the aides.The two were now working at the Parker company together with their sister after Tracy thought it was pointless for them t
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? W
"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
