So, I sort of come here often, sometimes I'd stop by at a restaurant or a coffee shop. I actually like the stuffs around here sooo, or probably because I'm used to this place I guess"

"Oh that's nice"

"Yeah tanks, but that's not really what brought me here actually"

"Oh"

"Ok so, I'm currently working on a recent project right now and which of course is supposed to be top secret" he said with a serious look

"Don't worry my lips are sealed" I said using my hand to draw an invisible zip sign in my mouth in demonstration

"Lol, well, so I'm here to make some research and hopefully it would be worth it, cause it is a huge risk I'm taking here"

"That's the main reason why I'm here, to do some investigation and all, but I just hope my best is actually enough," Elliot said and sighed.

"Oh don't beat yourself to it, at least you're trying your best, you're not just sitting there and watching all this happen.. It's cool" Diana said, chuckling.

"Well if I don't lose count you've complimented me for like a million times already you know " he said

" Well actually you deserve it" she said in reply

"Well thank you Milady, Your kind gestures is greatly appreciated" He said still smiling

"And you're most welcome, " She replied.

"Now back to the reason why I called out to you in the first place,"

"Oh yeah true, I remember you tapping my shoulder"

"So, ummm actually my car broke down. just like half a mile from here and i was really hoping that maybe you'd know where a mechanic is nearby or maybe perhaps you know someone that repairs or anything" Eliot asked

"Actually, Diana said while grinning, I think you asked the wrong person but fear not where's the car located, let's see what we can do about it"

"It's just straight down...you know what let me just walk you down"

"Yeah that will be a better idea"

"Wait...do you know how to repair cars?" Elliot asked jokingly

"Well not really, just that whenever my dad's car has faults he kinda repairs them himself he'd only take it to a professional when it's like above his capacity and I mean like really really above his capacity" I said and chuckled.

"Well, that's cool, hardly will you see that nowadays"

"No actually...not here, almost everyone here knows how to repair a thing or the other... I mean that's how we survive, we wouldn't have to depend on others...you get?"

"Oh wow... that's cool, at least that also can be a means of survival too"

"I know right...it always comes in handy like its about to now" I chuckled

We kept on talking and discussing about how Hawthorne needs a savior especially for us who doesn't really have much to survive as we kept discussing I couldn't help but just stare at him and I kinda feel he has a connection with this place or probably because he deals much with Hawthorne that's why he's got to know so much about us or probably I'm just overthinking...

"Oh well, here we are, this is the car I was talking about, Turns out as i was driving home I realized it's giving me some strange sounds but I was hoping I'd get home first then I'll call the mechanic to come pick it up or something" He explained

"Ok, let's what we have here" I opened the car bonnet and try to see why the car broke down all of a sudden as I was checking out each section I noticed Elliot was just staring at me as if I'm about to perform a miracle or something...so funny, as I keep trying to figure out the problem it brought a nostalgic moment in my mind I remembered how my dad used to teach me when I was like seven, what each sections in a car bonnets stand for, how to fix them if it develops a problem, he would chase me around then just to make me stay and watch what he was doing and I guess that finally helped me one way or the other, I mean I'm here helping a celebrity, well not really a celebrity though, but I'm right here fixing his car which would have been impossible if my father didn't kind of force me to learn it then.

Which It's kinda weird though, that should be a guys' work right? But anyways one of my skills came in handy

I remembered vividly asking my daddy then how he knew how to do all that i was like "Daddy? Did you learn how to do all this or you brought it heaven" well that's because obviously because I was still small, back then my Dad was like

"Oh my little chickpea," he said laughing out loud

"Well I didn't bring them from heaven and let's just say I learnt it, it's just like how I'm showing you how to do all this, this was exactly how my Dad taught me too when I was about your age." He replied while he pulled me cheeks

"Oh, and where did your father learn it from?"

"Well, my father, who is now your grandfather, told me then that he also learnt it from his father and from his father's father and from his father's father's father." He said throwing little me up in the air

"Ok...so is it like a family tradition?" I asked him while I'm trying to balance myself on his lap after I felt dizzy cause he threw me in the air

"Well, you can call it a family tradition chickpea" he said while tickling my tummy

"Daddy...stttoooppp" I cried out while laughing uncontrollably.

It's been thirteen years now and it all felt like yesterday.

"How's everything down there?" Elliot asked snapping me out of my thoughts

"Oh yeah..well, it's going fine and i will be done in 5,4,3,2,1 gotcha and your car has been fixed" I said grinning widely.

"Really, that was fast, you are one hell of a mechanic girl" he said smiling

"I mean how did you go about it, what was wrong with this old hag" he asked

"Turns out the engine was sputtering, you know just like we need air to breathe?"

"Yeahh?"

"So just like that, for an engine to run efficiently the right amount of air and fuel must mix and then burn within the combustion chamber. And in order for the engine to run effectively and correctly there are a number of components in the fuel and ignition systems that have to work in unison. And that is what I just fixed here." I said with so much pride in me.

  • Threads of Betrayal    I met with Dada

    The office was huge and well decorated.This office is designed to feel like a home, featuring a blend of comfort and functionality. Soft ambient lighting fills the space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Instead of traditional desks, there are spacious, stylish tables scattered around the room, adorned with laptops and personal touches of decorative items. Comfortable chairs and sofas replace typical office furniture, inviting a more relaxed work environment. The walls are decorated with artwork and shelves hold a mix of professional resources and personal mementos. A small kitchenette and coffee station adds to the homely vibe, making the office a welcoming and unconventional workspace. It looked more like a home than an office.

  • Threads of Betrayal    The truth about my parentage

    As I held the pen, signing the transfer papers that relinquished control of my mother's company, my tear-filled eyes betrayed the deep sorrow within. The weight of the decision imposed upon me felt like an unbearable burden, and each stroke of the pen seemed to etch a painful farewell. With tears streaming down her face, each pen stroke felt like a painful acknowledgement of the sacrifices and tireless efforts that had gone into crafting the business. The weight of familial legacy being passed on unwillingly hung heavy in my heart. With so tears rolling gently I signed the papers with a heavy heart"Finally!!!!" Ary said, laughing so hard, snatching the papers from me. "It's all finally mine after all this years" Ary said laughing triumphantly"See that wasn't so hard?" She said looking at the papers with her"Thanks for this" Ary said and pointed the gun to my dad's head"What are you doing I already signed the papers" I said panicking"Yeah Brit what are you doing" My dad also s
