I buried myself with work untill the entire day ended and it was time to head back home, Mr Smiths mansion..I left the office riding back with a cab, I came down walking inside, when I noticed the ongoing decorations around the entire mansion.I walked ahead, bumping into Richard. As usual he had this resentful look at me, but didn't quite say anything rude; even when I asked too know what was going on with the decorations.."There's going to be a party, dad wants you too attend also,".. he said and left going outside of the mansion Walls..Alone, I walked to my bedroom, I came inside and on my bed, there was a dress lying on it_ I approached and picked it up , when a tiny bite fell off from the dress_ I bent down and picked it up, having to see that Mr Smith had sent me the dress, at the note, he wanted me to attend the party dressed in the royal blue gown...Later that day, at the party, I came downstairs joining the others, I wore Mr Smith dress and as I approached him talking to
After searching for Richard , and not a sign of him coming anywhere, it was getting late, like so late, I couldn't fit further to search for him again, I decided to go back home and maybe try to call him..I can count the time I phoned him,yet his number kept on sending me to voicemail.I wonder where he could have been?...The next morning, I slept sleeping at the center of my bed, just then , I overheard Mr Smith screaming, I didn't get to think two times about going down to see what was happening, I came downstairs and found him scolding his son..His grown up son_ Richard, who's head was bent down from his dad's angry gaze..."How can you be this stupid, have you lost your goddam mind,,?". Said Mr Smith as he approached his son, whacking his head_ Richard didn't take the chance to retaliate or even speak back to his father..He stood there allowing his dad to hit him countless times, what's happening?.. Mr Smith saw me approaching to his direction, he again slapped his son and f
I went to my bedroom to change, a dress was already at my bed waiting for me, later I got downstairs on Mr Smiths behest, I walked down and went straight to the couch reserved specially for Richard and myself.I was the first to seat down, when Richard was forcedly pushed to the couch by his dad, Mr Smith gently careessed my cheeks before leaving."You're at fault for Everything happening," Said Richard as he blamed me for everything "I'm sorry, so I look.like I am enjoying everything that's happening,?" I slowly moved my mouth to his ears who he could hear me properly."Oh please," Richard grunt and pulls away from getting close to me, "you're mostly enjoying this,". He tells latching his eyes away..."You must be a Lunatic," I said and faced away from himAt the couch, Mr Smith later comes over, he held my hand and that is his son and walked both of us to the center of the party.He made us face the guests there and announced once again about the engagement.The rings was brough
We both reached home after the Photoshoot, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while Richard went up to his bedroom instead, I brought out a bottle water from its can and emptied it in a go, I turned back to Leave, I wasn't expecting to see anyone but I caught Mr Smith by the kitchen table, resting his hand to his head, and was looking right at me."Good day Beatrice, I see you're back,?" He puts his hand away but drops it on the table.."Good day sir, and yes I'm back,". I walked some few steps away from the fridge_ Mr Smith Shakes his head at me.."That's good and yes," he takes a look by the door checking to see if anyone was approaching before finishing his statement."I've been hoping to speak with you alone, Beatrice" he tells Me.."What exactly sir hope everything is okay,?" I said thinking out loud.."Yes ," he affirms, "however I've been wanting to say thank you for everything," he walks away from the kitchen table coming to me."Thanks for what sir,?". I asked."T
When we got down to from the car after reaching the office, I went first to meet Mr Smith, he turns and gave me an alluring smile as we both approached the door to the elevator that led to his office..Richard tells he had to pick up some documents by the finance department and so was the first person to leave_ Mr Smith and I went up and as we reached the second floor, he and I stepped out together_ I look while walking further to his office, Mr Smith had his hands tied on to the other, there was something definitely strange happening..We got to his office."Thank you, Beatrice," he tells going inside."You're welcome sir," I said moving past his office door, I was just some few steps closer to my office when I remembered I was still holding unto the documents he had asked me to bring along_ I turned going back to give him the document, I knock on the door and as I walked Inside, I met Mr Smith on the ground, shaking_ the way epileptic patients does ..Fear gripped me_ I throw away
I bearly got close whene he takes out a hand back and stopped me from approaching another step closer to his bench."What are you doing here, go away Beatrice,!" He spoke moving gestures at me.."No! I won't," I stepped a feet forward, " what do you think you're doing, why are you drinking,?". I asked when he turned back and latched out on my face.."Are you seriously asking me,!" He yelled getting up from the bench, he takes a feet forward my way but tripped over his other feet, he falls down hitting his hands on the ground."Hey, please be careful," I said as I tried to assist."Don't touch me Beatrice,!" He pulled his hands away from touching me..He leaned the other on the benches hand and got back up to his two feet."It's all your fault, you caused this,". He admits to my face, moving forward with his hands out to get me..I leaned back."What do you mean, because trust me I do not think I am the cause of everything, you're the entire reasons why your dad is hell bent on di
The entire day ran by with Richard demoting every of my comments, especially the one when Mrs Mathilda had asked me about how it feels getting engaged to a man like her nephew At first I did think of crushing Every ideal that had about Richard being a good husband material, however before I could even get a chance to speak, Richard rushed and diverted the conversation over to himself. Seated at the couch and after having dinners, I could literally count the times I heard Richard praising himself in the midst of both his uncle and aunt..Some few hours later, by nine in the evening, Mrs Mathilda walked both Richard and myself into the our bedroom_ I should have suspected that since we were about getting married, we'd literally be sharing a room together. We walked into one of the big rooms next to another with our bags."So, this is where you'd be sleeping, do you like it,?" Asked Mrs. Mathilda.."Yes ma'am, it's a lovely bedroom," I answered.When Richard walks behind, I turned a

Your only happiness to your friend, a promise once made before and in a toxic and vulnerable state.Some months ago, nine months precisely, Hanna and I were coming back home from the bar we used to work at. She had this strong desire to become someone in life, whereas I was rather focused on being happy. After all, I was in a healthy relationship with my ex-boyfriend, Beck. That bastard later cheated on me with a model from his workplace, but before he left, I didn't know that I was with a child.I came to find out weeks after the breakup. And my friend, Hanna, was already seeing someone. A billionaire, handsome, and also kind-hearted as she described to me.Excited that my best friend had finally gotten her desire taken care of by the universe, everything changed when she came home one faithful night and requested the imp
