Shirley was scrubbing like did every other day. She was on all four scrubbing the ground to make sure not a single dirt remained on it. She had diffrent part time jobs at diffrent hours of the day. This cafe where she works is owned by Mrs Benson; a grumpy plus sized woman who found fault with every singe thing she did. After scrubbing she walked over to the counter where a senior collegue sat. "Hey Anna, it's my closing hour already.. I have to get going". "Okay" Anna responded without sparing her a glance.Shirley waited a while before speaking again. "I was wondering if I could get my pay for the day". Anna shot her a look.. she actually pitied this young girl standing in front of her. She had never seen anyone who worked as hard as Shirley. What's worse?, she had a burden as a mother."Shirley you arrived late to work today and Mrs Benson instructed me to deduct 10 dollars from your pay". "

Sarah gasped the slap stung her soo much that tears already gathered by the corners of her eyes. No, she wasn't going to let them fall, she wouldn't cry because a stranger slapped her. She had passed through worse things in life. Besides crying would only make her look like a weakling."Who are you and why did....""Shhhh, darling.. the only person permitted to talk around here is me. Got that"?The only reason why Shirly was keeping her cool was because the woman standing before her looked elderly and classy. She didn't want to be disrespectful and neither did she want to spend the night in jail.But this woman crossed all the boundary, who is she anyways?"My name is Grace Lancanster. Mother of billionaire CEO Adon Lancanster who is turn is the owner of Lancanster Co operation"."And what does that have to do with me"?. Sarah asked with palm on her face still nursing her injury."You see those men out there". Mrs Grace said pointing out the cafe.Shirley looked out and saw two men

“It was all a misunderstanding”. Sarah said.Shirley’s ears really itched for an explanation. She asked herself the kind of misunderstanding that would make Mrs. Grace or whatever her name was, think she was having an affair with her son, Adon.Shirley turned her gaze towards Sarah. “What kind of misunderstanding”?.Sarah still looked down at her feet unable to say a word. Her brain moved in the speed of light trying to find a suitable explanation to the numerous ears waiting to hear from her. In an attempt to ease the tension, Mrs. Grace walked over to Shirley and held both of her hands. “Dear child, I’m really sorry for everything, I acted out of anger. Kindly find it in your heart to forgive me”.“Are you really sorry for everything”?“For everything”. Mrs. Grace replied back with soberness in her voice.“For the slap”? Shirley asked again.Adon gasped and glared hard at Sarah. “Mom!! You even slapped her”.”For the slap, I’m sorry”.“For making me lose my job”.Mrs. Grace gasped

Shirley woke up that morning ready to take the day as it came . She barely put her feet on the ground when her phone rang out loud. “Hello”. She spoke into the phone.“Hello, is this Miss Shirley McMahon”?“Yes, this is Miss Shirley. Who am I on to please”.“This is Detective Ben from the Vegas crime unit, we are calling to inform you that after series of test, results show that your mother is mentally unstable and due to this reason she has been sent to the Las Vegas mental institute for proper care and quick recovery”.“Oh, okay thank you.. Is that all? Thank you for your help detective”.She dropped the call and refused to feel sad or shed a single tear. Assuming she listened to Charlotte then, maybe things wouldn’t be as worse as they are now. Refusing to give it much thought, she did her morning routine and dressed up in a floral dress, just right for the weather. She stepped out of her room and immediately bumped into someone.“Hey maid watch it”. She looked up to see that sh

Carrying a wrapped doll, Tabitha sat at the eating area of the mental hospital where she was receiving to treatment to improve her mental health. She shielded the doll from the invisible sun she alone saw in the ceiling of the building. “Baby little boy don’t cry, baby little boy don’t cry. I love you and you love me baby little boy don’t cry”. She sang to it. “I don’t know why your big sister Shirley hasn’t come to see us. I can’t wait to tell her that you’re alive, that I found you. You were right here in this hospital waiting for me. You came to me my boy”. She spoke delusionally.As she continued to communicate with the doll which she assumed Ryan, a nurse came up to her. “Tabitha”? He called gently.Tabitha quickly hid the boy behind her like it was about to be take away, she shot the young male nurse a questioning look. “ You’re here to take my son away right? I won’t let you”.The nurse cautiously inched closer and took a seat. “No Tabitha, I would never do that to you”. Tabi
