Doreen walked home from the grocery stall singing out loudly. She thought of the wonderful dinner of rice and gravy stew with sauced chicken she was going to make for her boyfriend. He is actually coming over today after a long time.He is a popular chef, who owns a bakery in town. She hopes she impresses him with her cooking skills.She stays alone here in the city, while her parents and siblings stay in the countryside. She is the one fending for her siblings' school and other needs, including her parents. They do come to visit during holidays, and would stay until it's over... Her father has been a mere cab driver since she was little and got to understand the world better, while her mother was a petty trader. The condition and kind of family she found herself, fueled her zeal of studying hard, which she did. Thank God it played off, she is working in one of the biggest organizations in the city, and also earning so well."Please excuse me, ma'am" someone said from behind. Doreen
Victoria opened her eyes and saw herself somewhere tied up on a chair, everywhere was very dark and quiet. She started shaking herself in order to lose the rope but it was way too strong and tight. She heard the door open before footsteps started approaching her."I can see that you are finally awake," a female voice said as a woman wearing a hat stood in front of her."Who are you and what do you want from me?" Victoria asked with fear, she couldn't see the face of the woman."I'm someone who is very powerful and way too strong for you to challenge. I know you don't know about me yet, but I'm giving you the privilege to do so now," the woman replied."What do you want from me?" Victoria asked."You stole something from me, something very precious," the woman replied."I'm not a thief, I have never stolen anything in my life... please I never stole from you," Victoria replied."It is not a property, it is a very precious possession," the woman said and took more steps closer to Victor
Four years Later.____A beautiful lady walked toward an old warehouse in sight. She was dressed to kill and looked extremely gorgeous, as she passed, the men guarding the warehouse couldn't stop staring at her. She walked confidently with a slight smile on her lips while her costly designer heels clicked lightly on the tarred floor."I want to see your Boss," she announced to the next group of guards standing beside the doorway which was leading to the boss' chamber."Your identification card please," one of the guards said."Let her in, she is the boss' guest," a guard said when he approached them. They made way for her and she walked in."Follow me," the guard said politely and started walking away while she followed, not failing to look around the beautiful interior of the warehouse. The interior design of the warehouse looked totally different from how it is from outside. Internally, the warehouse was looking expensive and richly designed while it looked abandoned and ugly from o
Victoria dressed up in a neat tailored expensive Red suit and with black heels to match. She packed her hair and applied a light make up. She picked up a black Dior bag and was set to go. She walked out of the door and headed towards her favorite black car. "Mom, are you leaving already?" Josh asked which startled Victoria."Yes Honey, I thought you were asleep, this is past 8pm," Victoria said."I ain't feeling sleepy and want you to read a story for me," Josh said."I'm sorry sweetie, I'm already leaving for work. I promised to do whatever you want tomorrow which I'm going to keep to. Go meet Ma'am Ruth, she would read any of the stories you want," Victoria replied."But I just want you by my side tonight," Josh replied."It is not possible because mommy has to work in order for us to survive, I can't leave work. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow, okay?" Victoria said. Josh replied with a nod and turned to leave sadly. Victoria felt bad, she never wants to make her son feel l
Victoria stood at the backstage feeling nervous, she would soon be introduced to her new colleagues, she knows her ex husband works here also, in as much she had hated him for the past two years, but that didn't stop her from knowing all his daily activities and engagement. She came to seek the revenge she desired for the past two years. Her only prayer is that God should help her through, because she knows how irresistible and domineering he can be... After some minutes of contemplating if she should go ahead or not, she heard Mr Elijah, the manager of AZ organization introduce her to everyone."We have a new staff, that just got recruited a week ago. "She is joining us today, and i decided to introduce and make her known to every one of you here at the company's dinner party today."I hope you all get along and make her feel at home. "She is no other than Miss Victoria Smith, the new Human resource manager" Mr Elijah Trump, the manager of AZ organization announced. Everyone heard t
"Victoria!" What are you doing in there?" Mr Elijah asked surprised."Sir, the ladies unit was crowded, so I rushed down here to use any available toilet... "Why not ask this mister, why he was banging on the toilet door earlier?" Victoria injected pointing accusing fingers at Frank."Mr Franklin, i asked you what the matter was earlier and you dare cook up a lie for me?."Please Sir, I am sorry_""I wanna know why you were banging on the toilet door earlier?x Mr Elijah asked."Sir, Sir!" Frank stammered, losing words to say."Speak! Do you know her from anywhere? or are you forcing yourself on her? "What was the warning I gave earlier when I introduced her?" Mr Elijah asked bombarding Frank with questions, who in return felt so humiliated and ashamed."Sir, it's not what you think," he defended."Then why lie to me from the start, you said it was a male fellow colleague you had an argument with," Is she the male colleague?."Sir! I, I," Frank stammered."See me in my office tomorrow,
It's been two weeks since Victoria started working with the AZ organization. Frank hasn't been making it easy for her, she seems to see him wherever she goes in the company.The other day he trapped her down in the garage, seeking her attention before one of the workers came along and gave her the chance to escape.She wondered what was going to be today's own predicament with him. Ever since she showed up, he hasn't been himself and always wanted attention from her which isn't going to happen.Today is the company's board meeting with the shareholders. They want an analyst of the company's growth and development for the half of the year already.Victoria made sure she dressed to kill, putting on a straight pencil black short skirt and black designer long sleeve shirt to match. She packed most of her hair in a bun and left the rest that scattered here or there. She looked so young for a twenty five years old woman. She applied light make and an alluring lip gloss that made her pouty f
"Welcome back honey, how was work?" Mia asked immediately Frank entered the sitting room."Fine as usual!"Frank grumbled!"Is anything the matter? Mia asked."No, i'm just tired and wanna have some rest, okay?" Frank announced and walked into the bedroom."Something is strange about him," Mia thought and followed him into the bedroom."Frank!" What's the problem? Mia asked but got no reply from Frank, who pulled off his clothes."Frank, i'm asking a question, and i demand explanation," mia thundered."Mia, leave me alone, i said I'm tired okay?""No, it ain't okay, frank!""Shut up Mia, just shut up and don't try to be annoying right now.""Am I annoying Franklin?" What's wrong with you?. "I just wanted to know if you had a bad day at work," mia said sweetly."Forget it, i'm leaving the room for you," Frank announced with anger and went back to the sitting room. This weakened Mia and she slumped onto the bed. Since the two years of their union he hasn't ever acted this way. Something
