"Mum. Dad. What is the problem?" June asked after seeing her parents standing in front of Jean's door trying to break in."It's your sister. She has refused to come out of her room for two days now. And she wouldn't talk to anyone," Cynthia said in a troubled tone."What? Two days?" June asked."Yes, my dear, two days. You don't know about it because clearly, you have been spending the majority of your time by the side of Tracy when you should be focused more on your family," Cynthia said in a reproaching tone."Mother! Tracy is also family. Don't talk like that," June responded."And how else should I talk? That lady is neither staying in this house nor married to your brother. I'm not saying you should not keep in touch with her. All I'm saying is that you should reduce the hours and days you spend at her side," Cynthia added."And that will be impossible mummy. I work with her now at her TV station," June responded."And what's the big deal if I'm away? No one will even notice my a
"I'm just not happy," Charles said while lying on the bed with his front view facing Fiona who was seated on the edge of the bed."What is making you unhappy?" Fiona asked and adjusted herself onto the bed after Her husband's claim."Hmmm, you remember I once complained about some missing documents that I was so sure I brought home?" He queried."Yes. You found them?" She asked."No. I didn't find that document and strangely, I can't find another set of documents in my office," he echoed."Really? And what kind of documents are those? Can't they be replaced?" Fiona asked."Well, true they can be replaced because we have data of the missing documents on our system. But the content of those documents can't be in the hands of a third party else we'd be done for," Charles said in a troubled tone."But what's the point in worrying your head over something that could be replaced? And judging by your words, then I'm sure the one you supposedly brought home has equally been replaced?" She que
A new year had arrived and after all the hustle and bustle, some people got lucky even after spending quality time with their families and loved ones during the Christmas season.Purple Islands, one of the popular destinations for vacation and relaxation in Purple City had given Tracy some slots for an all-expenses-paid vacation. One could say her popularity was paying off.And she wasted no time in grabbing the golden opportunity."I don't care what you say Mrs Briggs, but you are coming with us," Tracy had said to her wonderful nanny and cook who had wanted to stay at home and let the young ladies go and have a good time."I'm loving the view already," Mrs Briggs said, as she stood in one of the rooms of the twenty-five-storey building admiring the sea view."I knew you would love it here. I'm glad I didn't let you stay behind," Tracy said and moved to stand by her to also marvel at the beauty before them."Staying at home all the time is not ideal. Once in a while, you need to ste
Purple Island was charged up. The luxurious vacation destination which was mostly frequented by the rich and famous had a few average people who could afford its high rates in the mix.Along the coastline were a few tents mounted by some of the patrons who were having a good time.After Cyril blew Tracy's cover, everyone recognized her and everywhere she turned people wanted a picture with her."I watch your show every time and I must say you're doing a great job. I caught my husband of fourteen years cheating on me with another woman and when I complained he had the guts to beat me and told me he needed to try something new," a fan said after she stopped Trcay along the beach."And just like the advice you gave in your last episode, I left his house and reported him to the authorities. He's behind bars as we speak awaiting trial," she added, by referring to an episode of Tracy's show."I'm glad my show could help you save yourself. I do all that for people like you. So once again, t
"Tracy! Oh there you are," Louisa said after spotting her friend standing on the balcony of her room."Where have you been? I came here earlier but you were nowhere to be found," she revealed.All the while, Tracy kept her eyes on the rising and falling ocean tides and said nothing."Tracy! Is everything okay?" Louisa queried after noticing the quietness of her friend.Having kept mute for a while, she finally said, "He is here,""He is here? Who is he?" Louisa asked."Who is who?" June, who had entered the room and overheard their conversation, asked and walked towards them on the balcony."Earlier, I stepped out to get some fresh air while you ladies were still getting some rest. That was why you didn't see me when you came here," Tracy mumbled."But I could not get enough air as I was forced to rush back in here," she added."Forced? How do you mean?" June asked."Well, I bumped into David earlier," Tracy said."David? You mean our chauffeur?" June asked."Of course. Which other Da
"This is so unbelievable. That brother of mine does not know when to stop. Why would he ask for a picture with Tracy? What's his game plan?" June asked.They were all back in Tracy's room."He is your brother. You should ask him," Louisa said."Listen up ladies, don't get too hard on yourselves. Tracy is not the Tracy we used to know. I'm sure we have the chance to get this close to her because of the bond we have with her, either than that, we all would probably be in the trenches while admiring her from afar," Mrs Briggs said."From the way people are screaming to take pictures with Tracy, we should all understand that she is not a regular person. There is some premium that rests on her and thus why Charles would dare to ask for a pic. Who knows? Maybe he is also a fan," Mrs Briggs added."I don't want him as a fan," Tracy who was looking furious and seated on the bed said."Sadly, honey, inasmuch as you may have control over certain things, this one does not look like one of those.
"Charles, so this is why you didn't want me to go on that vacation with you?" Fiona asked after storming into the living room."What are you talking about?" He asked."I'm talking about this," she said and smashed a newspaper with the headline,' Is Charles Parker and His Ex-Wife Rekindling Old Flames?' Onto the center table.As soon as Charles' eyes fell on the headline, he asked, "Where did you get this?" "Does it matter where I got it from? Instead, you should tell me what you were doing with that cheap harlot," she fumed, pointing to the image on the newspaper front page that showed Charles and Tracy in a rather close shot photo."Watch your tongue, Fiona, How dare you call her names?" Charles said, throwing up a defense for Tracy."Oh, so you now defend her huh? Why don't you also just tell me that you slept with her while on that stupid vacation of yours?" Fiona swiftly countered her husband."Well, I don't give a damn what you think. I only refunded for you to come along becaus
"So, what brings you here?" Chris asked, seated on the edge of his living room couch."Are you at least going to ask me to come in or something?" Charles asked, standing right in front of the main entrance door to the living room from outside."Why are you making things awkward? You're welcome here and you always have. You decided to stay away from us, so I don't get why you would want to be asked to come in before you do," Chris said.Albert, who had gone to get the tea, returned with three cups of tea and an extra bread and egg for Charles.He placed them on the table and said, "We were about to have breakfast before you knocked. There you go," he added and pushed a cup of tea and bread towards the direction of Charles."Look, that can wait. I'm sorry for everything," he said, trying to apologize to his friends."I know I took things a little personal and overreacted, but I'm sorry," he added in a low tone. Then moved to the couch and sat down.Albert on the other hand was already e
