“With that been said, I’ll love to retire to my bed now. I need to sleep, I have a very long day tomorrow” Amelia said clearing off the plates from the table into the kitchen.
“Wait up sis, I have something that I wanna discuss with you” Brie said to Amie.
“ Oh alright then, I could spare a few minutes of my beauty sleep time” Amie replied.
“Meet me in my room when you’re done washing the plates” She added.
“Alright sis, thank you” Brie replied as she walked into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Few minutes later, Bridget was already done doing the dishes when one of her younger brothers stopped her to speak with her.
“Hey big sis, can you spare me few minutes of your time?” Micah asked.
“Yeah sure. What’s up?” She replied.
“Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but ever since you’ve been coming to pick us from school, there has always been a different note placed underneath my locker every single day” Micah said
“ I don’t understand. What do you mean?” Brie asked.
“ What I’m trying to say is that, ever since you started coming to pick Sam and I up from school, there has always been a note that we always meet inside our lockers whenever we get to school the next day and it’s always the same message that is written in the note” Micah said to his sister, feeling very frightened.
“Well what does the note say?” Brie asked.
“ The note says “ Tell your sister I’m coming for her” That is what is always written on the note” Replied Micah.
“The confusing thing is, I have two sisters, so which one of you is the sender talking about? This is very cringe if you ask me and I’ve been so scared since I’ve started getting those notes” Micah said to his sister with a shaky voice and trembling hands.
“ Have you told anyone about this asides me? She asked.
“No I haven’t”
“ Alright then, don’t worry, if you see another note on Monday at school, bring it home and show it to me. Meanwhile, I’ll discuss this with Big Sis Amie tonight so we can know what to do. Just relax and don’t overthink this okay? Brie said to her brother.
“Alright sis, if you say so. Goodnight” Micah said turning to climb up the stairs to his bedroom.
“What exactly is going on? Who can this person be and why is he or she after Big Sis Amie? What exactly has she done? Bridget thought as she climbed the stairs going to her sisters’ room to discuss what it is she wanted to discuss with her.
Inside the bedroom, Amie sat up on her bed reading a novel as she usually does before going to bed every night. She was already starting to feel sleepy and was beginning to wonder why Bridget was taking so long before she heard a knock on her door.
Come in Brie, it’s about time, I’ve been waiting for you” Amie said as she watched Bridget walk into the room with worry and anxiety showing all over her face.
“What is it and why do you look like you’re about to cry?” Amie asked Bridget
“Big sis, I think there’s a problem, and it’s either you’re in danger or the danger is you” Bridget said to her sister feeling so worried.
“What do you mean by that Brie?” Amie as asked, siting up and dropping the novel she was reading.
“ Well, Big sis, remember the man I said usually tail me anytime I’m walking home by myself? The man we identified as your ex?
“ Yes I remember Brie. That my stupid ex that wanted to cause us trouble a year ago. Why bring him up now? What’s going on Brie?” Amie asked her sister in confusion feeling very anxious.
“Big sis Amie”Brie started to speak but her voice trailed off due to so much fear.
“Bridget, you’re scaring me, what is going on?”
“ The man has started to tail us again. “ Brie finally said.
“Wait, I don’t understand. What do you mean by tail us ? Who are the Us? Amie asked feeling very scared at this point.
“Christian has started to tail us again. He has even dragged in Micah and Samuel. “ Brie responded.
“ How do you mean?” Amie asked
“Just this evening, before I walked into your room after washing plates, Micah stopped me and asked if he could speak to me and I said yes. I asked him what the problem was and he told me that ever since I’ve stated going to pick he and Sam from school, whenever they get to their lockers the following day, they would both always meet a note in their different lockers. And according to him, the notes always read the same thing.” Bridget explained to Amie.
“What is always written on the note?” Amie asked.
“The note always read, “ Tell your sister I’m coming for her” Brie answered.
This is getting out of hands already. And are you sure he’s the same person putting those notes in Sam and Micah’s lockers? Amie asked, trying so hard to understand why her ex-boyfriend came back after two years of not hearing anything from him after the last disaster that he caused.
“ Yes sis, it has to be him because no other person has a reason to do such a thing on a daily if not a deranged psychopath who is clearly still obsessed with you. My gosh!! How did you date that man for a two years sis? Brie said to Amie showing concern yet disgust in her voice.
“Calm down Brie, tell Micah and Sam to calm down and be sure to bring the note home on monday so that I can report this to the authorities as soon as possible. For now, let’s not alert our parents yet so they wouldn’t start to worry. I’ll take things up from here. You can go to bed now.” Amie said to her sister giving her a comforting hug.
“Alright sis, goodnight and please be careful when you go out” Brie said in response.
“You be careful too and be vigilant” Amie replied.
“Sleep well Big sis” said Brie as she stood up and reached for the door knob, opening the door and shutting it behind her.
“Why has Christian decided to come back after a whole year ?” Amie thought to herself as she sunk into her bed, covering herself with her duvet.
“I must get to the root of all these. I really hope he didn’t come back to cause me and my family any trouble. Not even now that I’m about to start a new job. She kept thinking till she finally gave way for sleep to engulf her.
As at 5am in the morning, Amie’s alarm rang and she got up to do her house chores and cook for the family.As soon as she woke up, she dashed to the kitchen to pick up the sweeping brush and began sweeping the whole house. After forty-five whole minutes she was done sweeping, she went into the kitchen to start cooking. It was a Saturday morning and she had already thought of the food to prepare before she went to bed the previous night so it wasn’t hard for her to know what to cook. She had decided to task herself and prepare everyone’s best meal at least to make everybody happy, so she picked up two big pots and started the preparation for the cooking. As challenging as this idea was, she tried as much as possible to be quite enough so as not to wake anybody up. It took her two hours to finish cooking and set the table before going to have her bath. “All done” Amie said to herself feeling very fulfilled that she was able to pull her idea of preparing everyone’s favorite dish for brea
“Drive straight to the office. I have a meeting in twenty minutes” Nelson said to Henry, his driver.“Yes sir” Henry replied, starting the engine and zooming out of the compound, driving straight to the office.Nelson is the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Toronto, and of course the CEO of Rodriguez Autos. He is always so busy with work, you would rarely see him go for events, if it’s not a business dinner or a production he’d rather pass. Asides from the tough aura he always has to put on, he is a very emotional and caring person. Growing up, he has always been very affectionate. His dad used to domestically abuse his mom for years until he passed away on Nelson’s twenty-second birthday. Anytime his dad beats his mum, Nelson would always be the one to pet his little brother Andrew and most times have to clean his mother's wounds. This always broke his heart but he couldn’t confront his dad until this very day when Nelson had walked off his guests after the party was over. Upon
Walking into the mall, Amelia walked straight to the section for female office wears to select and try on new clothes suitable for her job description. She didn’t want to look too cheap, this is why she had started saving money since Bridget was in her senior year so that she’d be able to afford quality wears for herself when she eventually gets an office job. So she went to the quality section and chose a number of short straight skirts, shirts, gowns, and office trousers. She also bought dinner gowns for herself because she knew she’d definitely be following her new boss to several dinners when she eventually starts the job.“I’d like to pay for all these please” Amie said to the cashier after getting all the wears she wanted to get. “Alright ma’am please give me your card so I can ring it for you” The cashier replied stretching out her hand to collect the card from Amie and placing it into the machine for payment. “All done ma’am, thanks for your patronage. Here are your things.
It’s already past six when Nelson finally stepped out of his room fully dressed and ready for the date. He took the stairs by the right up to his mothers room to ask her if she was contented with what he wore. He knocked three times before entering her room after he heard a “come in”. “Hey mum, how do I look?” Nelson asked his mum, which made her look up from the book she was reading. Looking at her son she felt so blessed that he could look so handsome without even having to do much. Nelson was putting on a navy blue pant trouser, a black body hug round neck, showing off his perfectly built and chiseled chest, a blue stripped suit and a white sneakers. He also wore a silver wrist watch and a silver neck chain and brushed his hair up in curls. “You look absolutely dashing son” His mum said after taking in every detail of his dressing. “Well thank you mum, it’s almost seven so I’d be heading out now to pick Eva up” Nelson said checking himself one last time in the dressing mirror b
The following day,Nelson woke up to the noise of clashing pots coming from the kitchen. Initially, he didn’t want to stand up from the bed but the noise kept coming from the kitchen and he was wondering why the cooks were being loud with the cooking today. Dragging himself lazily from the bed, he stood up, wore his robe and stepped out of his room,taking the stairs down to the kitchen to see what was going on. Upon entering the kitchen, he saw that it was his mum who was cooking while the cooks were doing the dishes which caused the noises of clashing pots that he was hearing from his room.“Good morning mum” He greeted.“Good morning son” She replied.“Good morning sir” Mariam, the head cook greeted.“Good morning Mariam, well done”“How was your night?” She added almost immediately.“My night was okay, but I had the dream again mum, and this time, it was way scarier the last one. If you ask me mum, I’m really tired of having these dreams. It messes with my head and makes me have sle
Waking up very early, Amelia did her house chores, cooked breakfast for the family and ate before going to her room to prepare for work. It was finally Monday and the first day at her new job and she was very nervous but also happy that she finally got an office job that was decent enough and the pay was good. So she got ready in a hurry and rushed downstairs to get her keys.“How do I look mum?” She asked her mother who was packing lunch for her sons in the kitchen.“You look amazing my love. I wish you a very productive day ahead and I hope your new boss is nice and he gets to like your work” Her mum replied giving her a peck on the cheeks.“Thanks mum, I’ll see you later” She replied before picking up her keys and leaving the house. It was six thirty when Amelia left the house. She knew she had to leave on time so she could get to work on time as she was told the day she had her interview that her boss does not like any form of lateness and she was to resume seven-thirty sharp. A
“So, tell me Mr Nelson, is the building to your taste?” Mrs Vanessa asked as they were standing in the garden, after taking Nelson and his assistant around the hotel. “Well I love the building,though I’d be changing some structures to suit the theme, but the garden stays” Nelson replied. “Alright then, no problem. Nice doing business with you Mr Nelson” Mrs Vanessa said, shaking hands with him to show gratitude. “And your assistant is a very wonderful person. She organized the lunch meeting and I loved it” Mrs Vanessa complimented. “Thank you, she’s new and she’s been doing well since she walked into my office this morning “ Nelson replied looking in the direction of his assistant who was standing by the jeep, waiting for him. “Nice, enjoy the rest of your evening Mr Nelson” Mrs Vanessa said, before giving him a side hug. “You too Mrs Vanessa” Nelson replied, returning the hug before walking towards his already awaiting car. “ Nice job Miss Roberts. You did well today” Nelson
“Urgggh, please, work and then fall in love with him too. I mean, you should be in a relationship right now don’t you think?” Bridget said, before opening the fridge to get a bottle of water.“Well, I’m not ready, when my man comes, I’ll get into a relationship with him then. For now, I need to work and pay for your tuition” Amie said.“Yeah right, thank you so much for always looking out for us but you should also look out for yourself, don’t you think” Bridget said out of concern for her big sister.“I will do that when I can finally relax, and that is when you graduate from school, so leave me let me face my work, while you make us proud” Amie said.“Excuse me girls I need to use the rest-room” Their mum said and then walked out of the kitchen.“Did Sam and Micah bring home the note we instructed them to bring?”Amie asked Bridget, lowering her voice.Yes and our suspision is right. It’s Christian’s handwriting on both papers. I’ve kept the notes on your reading table in your room”
Two months passed, their love growing stronger with each passing day. Eric planned the perfect evening, meticulously crafting every detail. He took Bridget back to the serene lake where they first confessed their love. The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the sky. Soft music floated through the air, a skilled violinist playing their favorite melody.The sweet scent of roses and lavender wafted through the breeze. Eric led Bridget to the water's edge, where a pathway of candles and rose petals guided them to a majestic willow tree. Under its graceful branches, a stunning view of the lake unfolded. The sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of pinks, oranges, and purples. Bridget gasped in awe."It's breathtaking," Bridget whispered.Eric smiled warmly."You're breathtaking," Eric replied.He took Bridget's hand, his touch sending shivers down her spine."From the moment I met you, I knew you were special," Eric said."Your kindness, compassion, and b
Bridget Roberts stepped into the cozy Italian restaurant, scanning the room for her best friend, Lauren. The aroma of freshly baked bread and simmering sauces enveloped her, making her stomach growl with anticipation.Lauren waved from a corner table, her bright smile illuminating the dimly lit space. Bridget weaved through the crowded room, exchanging warm hugs with Lauren."Hey, girl! You look stunning," Lauren said, admiring Bridget's fitted black dress."Thanks, Lauren!

Ryan woke up at 6:00 AM to the sound of his alarm blaring in his ear. He reached over to turn it off and sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes."Good morning," Anna said, stretching beside him, her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders. "Today's a big day. Adrian's first day at the nursery."Ryan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "He's growing up so fast."Their six-month-old baby, Adrian, lay in his crib, cooing softly. Ryan and Anna dressed him in a cute onesie with tiny cars printed on it.Their driver, James, had already brought the black Mercedes-Benz S-Class to the entrance door of their mansion.
