"I can't believe two grown men with beards and family are fighting like some street kids" Anastasia, who had barged in, screeched. She came to ask Austin if he could give Jordan some work at the office; but she was perplexed when she met a frantic Lisa running towards the door to call for security. She had said that Austin's office was in chaos because he and Kamala were fighting. She thought it was one of those ridiculous fights they always had, unfortunately when she entered it was a war zone."Can't you fucking act like adults that you are?" She removed her hair from her face. Kamala and Austin, who had been looking down on the floor, lifted their heads in astonishment."Mom! Sweetheart…you can really swear?!" They both said in unison. Anastasia and swear words were two different worlds apart."That is out of the question here! And you know it. For crying out loud, this is an office, full of employees!""What will they say about their boss having a fight that too during working ho
"I admire your courage, you finally decided to come see me" Elizabeth sarcastically said and crossed her legs elegantly. Besides her was a cup of hot steaming tea. The apartment was well kept it seems the cleaners were doing their work perfectly well."Look mother,I-I…how are you doing?" She asked awkwardly not knowing what to say. Her relationship with her mother was already on the brink of collapsing aand with Elizabeth's pride in the way, it'd definitely collapse."If you're talking about me being in the little confinement you and your so-called husband gave me, then I guess I'm doing well." Blessing ignored her sarcastic remarks and tried to make other small talks."You're welcome to our house mother and you're invited to join us during the Christmas holidays ""See what I'm talking about…you're telling me I'm invited? I should be staying in that mansion.!""Mom! We talked about this!""Did we?""Yes! You can't stay with us because…""Because I don't like that husband of yours… y
"You mean it is the only painting here of its kind" he was still reeling from astonishment."Yes,Austin created it when he first built his company. And it's the only one of its own. And it can not be duplicated because the master of art himself made sure it shouldn't be" Matilda continued, she was looking straight at Jordan's face, there were different emotions showing."Seems my brother has done so well for himself""That is why being an intern is suitable so that you can learn a lot from him huh!" She patted his shoulder and left him.'Learn a lot from him' his face twitched as he mimicked Matilda. Yes he was going to learn a lot from him but in his own way. Looking at the painting one last time he went into his room."Hey sweetie, what's up?" He said over the phone. He missed Elizabeth so much and since he found out that he is Austin's brother, they had not been talking."I hope you're behaving yourself," Elizabeth said. She was laying down on the bed, wrapped in purple cotton sh
Kamala was horrified about what Halsey just told him. He didn't know that she was going through so much, he thought she was not that sick but it was beyond what he expected.What if Nevena breaks their engagement because he acted like a jerk this morning only because he was pissed?"Why are you telling me this?" He looked at Halsey."Because you're her fianceé…and because I need you to stay away from her" instantly, Kamala's face became ice cold, his jaw clenched and his grip on the mug tightened."And why do you think I'd do that? Because you say so?" He spat through clenched teeth."Yes""Halsey, I respect you, as my fianceé's mother…but never in my life had I been ordered to do something that I don't want. So keep your tongue in check" "I'm protecting my daughter!""Protecting her from what? Please enlighten me" he was so angry that he would have smashed her big head against the table if she was a man."I'm protecting her from you! You think I don't know that she's just like your
It was early the next day, Kamala was entangled in his bed with his white sheets covering.The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up his face. He groaned in frustration. Turning off the noisy alarm, he rubbed his face. He had a long day ahead. He didn't know whether he should be glad about whatever he had in mind, but for his happiness he had to.Keeping that aside he put feet on the floor. The soft mat felt soothing under his feet. He stretched a little. He had to hit the gym, it had been a long time since he made use of it. Settling for his black sweatpants,black muscle shirt and grey training shoes he was good to go. When he reached, he started with the dumbbells. His apartment was large; it was almost like a penthouse, so it had almost everything. From there he lifted the lightweights, ran on the treadmill, pushups, a skipping rope and lastly a punching bag, where he seemed to unleash all his frustrations. Punch after punch and the sw
"Can you tell me what happened?" Caressing his hair, Nevena asked. Kamala's eyes fluttered a little, inhaling sharply he decided to keep quiet."Look, i need to know what's going on with you okay. At least trust me" she continued when she didn't get an answer from him. She was still shaken from what happened earlier and she didn't think she'd ever get over it. Not when she was not over what happened in her teenage years."Kamala, if we're going to have a life together, you need to trust me in order to help you" she said, this time kissing his forehead. She sighed heavily, it seemed she was talking to herself. So she chose to keep quiet and decided to sing a lullaby for him since he's busy acting like a child."I don't know what happened to you but I promise to help" she whispered more to herself. She just had to talk to the people close to him and find out what is the matter with him. At least she'd have a clue on how to help him. Nevena sat there numbingly, she didn't have a heart to
The night was cold, tucked under the woolen dove-grey sky. It was the type of coldness that reached her bones,it felt as if her heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open it again; yet she sat with a tub of ice cream in her hands, bawling her eyes out."How did my life reach this point?" She stuffed another mouthful of the cold ice cream. Nevena cried, so pitifully that she wished she was a powerful witch to escape from reality, unfortunately that wasn't possible."Hey, are you crying?" Her friend, Bosilca said over the phone when she called her. She was the only person who could listen to her without judging her."Bosi, my life is ruined…i hate it" shoving the tub of ice cream on the table, she buried her face in her palms. She had no inspirations or whatsoever only because of one man she loved."What happened? Tell me sweetie," Bosilca tried coaxing her over the phone. But Nevena wept more, she was so tired from all the emotions clouding her mind, nonethe
It has been a week since Nevena had slit her wrist. And two days of no one seeing her."Well gentlemen, I hope you do enjoy the journey with Kamala Architectural Design. We aim to do our best" Kamala concluded the meeting. He had managed to crack another beneficial deal. "Thank you Mr Mason, we'll get in touch" the men said and went out of the boardroom. After seeing them off he went into his office."I see you managed to get the bigger fish" Austin tilted his head to his friend."You've done your work, now you can go" as his lawyer, he had seen the important details of the meeting and the contract was signed."Tell me Kamala, where's your assistant?" Kamala shrugged."That shrug means you know where she is…now tell me where she is" he looked at his friend who was acting nonchalant."What do you want me to say? I just told you that I don't know. I haven't seen her in two days""And you think it isn't suspicious at all?" Austin squinted his eyes."Why would it be suspicious? Didn't s
