****SCOTT MANSION** "Mom, Dad, I'm going out, I won't take long, I need to visit a friend" Sofia who was walking down the stairs uttered as she saw her parents in the sitting room. "You know you shouldn't be going out, right? you are still recuperating, can't you stay back and visit this friend tomorrow? or some other time?" Mrs. Scott inquired with a worried look on her face. "NO," Sofia said immediately, "it's not that far, so, no worries, I won't take long before I come back," said Sofia, to make her mom reason with her. "You can go, but make sure to arrive back home before the clock hits seven, I mean my words," Mr. Scott said sternly permitting his daughter to go. "Thanks, Dad, I'll be back home very soon, goodbye Mom" Sofia scurried her way out of the house after receiving the permission she wanted. She knew her parents were worried because of her health condition that's why she had to promise them that she would arrive back early. Sofia entered the red car which was for he

"It would be better if I don't even cross parts with him again, 'cause if I do..." Mirabel received a call from Arabella when she just arrived at Gold Fox early Monday morning. Arabella had called to inform her about her afternoon flight and that she wouldn't be in the country for the next two weeks. Their conversation ended up drifting to the topic of how Arabella's pride was marched on. "Are we still on this again, Ara?" Mirabel cut her short as she asked. She was in the RAAH preparing her things to go to the auditorium for acting. "Of course, we are still on this. Well, not till I get my sweet taste of revenge" Said Arabella from the other line of the call. "Hmm? I'll advice you to not go extreme with whatever plans you are brewing up" uttered Mirabel, walking out of the RAAH to head upstairs. "Yeah, yeah... I know. I just hope I don't cross parts with him again" muttered Arabella. "Later then..." Mirabel said before she hung up the call. She was focused on the screen of her p

Mirabel took her bag and headed out of the RAAH after work hours were over and the employees were leaving the company. On her way out she saw Charlotte heading in the same direction, walking back to the RAAH. "Aren't you leaving, yet?" asked Mirabel as they came to stand in front of each other. "I'll be out in a few minutes, I just have something I need to check on at the RAAH before I leave," Charlotte said and received a nod from Mirabel "So? How was the play? had fun?" Charlotte inquired, she was acting in a different movie so she wasn't to be included in the one Mirabel was acting on. "Yeah, it was okay," said Mirabel with a smile. "Good, mine is kind of tiring though. And oh, do you know Senior Ace is playing in the same movie as yours?" Charlotte questioned "Huh? No... I didn't know" Mirabel said with an oblivious look which made it obvious that she had no idea about it. "Oh, maybe it's because he hasn't attended any of the rehearsals that's why you don't know. I think he

Back in the company. "Fuck" Charlotte cursed under her breath when the call suddenly disconnected but she realized it was because of the network, she couldn't call back again as the problem was from her side. Charlotte used her torchlight to glance around the room, she meant it when she said she hated darkness. She had always been scared of staying alone in enclosed dark places right from when she was young, years back. She took a deep tiring breath, rested her back on the wall, and sat down on the floor. Her eyes glinted with something bitter, she wouldn't have stayed back if it wasn't because of her family back at home. Charlotte was the daughter of a publicly known rich man of country A. Charlotte had lost her mother years back in an accident, the incident had left a scar on young Charlotte as she had witnessed the scene. Her mother's car had clashed with another car with a man and woman in it. She would have died on the spot also, but her mother had shielded her by covering he

Around midnight, after long hours of waiting, the rain finally settled into a drizzle. Charlotte was now seated on a chair with a stranger whom she still knew nothing about along the corridors. She stood up, with her small bag hung up on her shoulders "I think I'll take my leave now" she uttered Troy glanced at the lady, they didn't really say anything much to each other, he had been playing games on his phone and noticed that she dozed off a while ago but seemed to wake up several minutes after as she now stood on her feet, ready to leave. Troy stood up also "Okay, the rain has settled already" "Yeah, thanks for keeping me company," she said in utter appreciation, even though he hadn't said a thing during the period, it was still nice to have someone around and not stay alone. "Don't mention" "Aren't you leaving, also?" Charlotte asked "I'll leave later, not now" "Ohh... ok then, bye," Charlotte said and turned around before she left, she walked out of the company and made h

Mirabel woke up very early on Friday, cause she had to arrive at Gold Fox early before traveling together with the team. She got up from the bed, glancing toward Axel's side of the bed, but he wasn't there. Mirabel stood up and went straight to the bathroom to take her bath, she brushed her teeth in haste before she showered up and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest, the length reaching above her knees. She removed the towel that she had used in wrapping her hair. Her hair was damp because she had washed it, and the water droplets from her hair trailed down to her shoulder. Mirabel went straight to the mirror and blow-dried her hair with the hair dryer. She went into the closet and picked up a simple dress, a black long-sleeved top, and a pair of jeans and trousers, she didn't take long before dressing up. Mirabel wore her black long coat which reached below her knees, she took her handbag and a box that contained her clothes to wear for the next few w

At Gold Fox... Charlotte was sweating profusely as she searched around the company corridors for hours in finding her lost locket, she had been looking for it ever since she arrived at work today, she even came earlier than normal with the thoughts that it might be laying on the floor somewhere in the company. After hours of searching but to no avail, she slumped to the floor with her back to the wall as she didn't find it "Momm..." she whimpered. The locket was the last memory she had of her mother.

***STUART'S MANSION*** Troy stood in front of his grandfather who was studying the file he had brought home, nervousness, and sweat evident in Troy's eyes with the hope that his grandfather sees this as a good sign and unfreeze his account. "Good good, I'm impressed, keep it up. These are things you should spend more of your time on and not play around with your friends always, by partying at every chance you get" Old Master Stuart sat down with his glasses on as he read the document. "Now you can leave, bring more of this and I might consider pardoning you" Troy felt all his hopes shatter as he heard what his grandfather said. 'More of this?' he has spent his sweat, sleep, and time to make just one, and his grandfather wants him to bring more. "Grandfa..." "Shush, you can leave" Old Master Stuart dropped the document on the table and went back to the newspaper he had been reading before Troy came in. Troy didn't know what to do again, he picked up the document and walked out of
