LUCYThree months after my resignation from Ryan’s office, I started feeling regretful for the rash decision I had made. Still, I was convincing myself that I did a right decision. Why not? Even if I earn good, if I am not comfortable then why stay?A part of me thought that I over reacted. The more I thought about what happened the more, I feel that I could have responded and taken things in a much more mature perspective. Also, I could have taken it in a way that my logic was more active than me acting emotional.Sierra had occasionally warned me that my downfall would be me making rash decisions when I was annoyed or overjoyed. Well I was not annoyed, I was devastated. It felt so wrong to be treated that way. And that was the only that I think was making me feel better.I would rather lose my job than be treated like shit every single day. Not that that woman would be in the office every day, but still it was better to avoid furt

He didn’t talk about it with me again because he decided he had to lash out at his father, who hadn’t provided him with anything since the divorce.I was from the cafeteria I previously worked in, trying once again to get my job back when I got a call from John. He was annoyed, and I innocently thought that it was because Marietes had still refused to talk to him.“What is it this time?” I said, disinterested. I had received another bad news, and I wasn’t ready for more.“Paul called me.”“Oh, and why did he do that?”“To ask for my help. Apparently, you dropped out of school and can’t even pay any of your bills. This isn’t the time for your petty excuses because I am here to pass you a warning. If you do not get a job within a week, I will file for child custody. God knows I am more financially stable to take care of Paul than you ever will be in a million years.”

“This petition is filed by my client John Peters against Miss Lucy Mcdonald, formally known as Mrs. Lucy Peters. My client seeks to file for custody for their 16-year-old child since the mother has proven incapable of taking care of the child,” said the attorney whose name I hadn’t even heard.I was so nervous at that moment. I was afraid that one of his words would make me lose the cause. I have my lawyer but I was still nervous as hell. It was surprising that I did not even pass out.After all, this lawyer was against me. His words were all accusations, I believe they were, but I was still having a hard time when he speaks.The lawyer presented evidence that I wasn’t a competent mother saying Paul wasn’t in school and he rarely ate unless his father sent money.Michelle had been true to her words and even hired for me a lawyer. She briefed the lawyer on what had been going on, and he accepted my case. When the prosecutor ha

She stared at Evelyn and shook her head, and when she noticed that so many eyes were on her, she stood and confidently asked what the problem was and if she could help.“I… I... Are you pregnant?” Josephine asked when she finally had the courage. She was looking at Evelyn with a complicated expression as if she was not sure what to feel at that moment.She then noticed that there was a paleness on Evelyn’s face, and she quickly recovered to ask who Josephine was to dare ask her such a question.Josephine could not believe what she heard. She was speechless for a moment before glaring at Evelyn.“You can’t talk to me like that?! You’re in my damn house!” Josephine shouted back through gritted teeth.Evelyn suddenly laughed mockingly. She then retorted, “Hahaha. Your damn house? How could I forget that? Remind me, how much do you contribute towards the monthly expenses of this house? What do you

It was the first day of work for Charlie, and he was quite ready with it. He arrived at his new company’s main building, and saw that it was quite lively in the early morning.He looked at the faces of the employees with a smile, wondering who among them would be his coworker later. Of course, he mind could not keep wondering as he needed to get to first briefing soon.It did not take long for him to find where he was supposed to go. Just like him, all the employees entered a large auditorium as if they were back in the walls of a high school, everyone had high expectations about this new opportunity, and Charlie, who saw all his classmates, understood perfectly that this opportunity should not be wasted.His father always told him that he should be a man who stood out, always on the right side of things, firm and with virtue, that was what he had tried to do all his life, and now that he had finally managed to get to work in the company he had always want
