The Wickedness Of It All

" Let's sit over here", the man gestured as he pointed to the lounge area. From his disposition, Andre could tell that he had grown tired of sitting behind the desk to attend to his appointments and seeing that he was a relative, it was quite agreeable that they discuss whatever Andre was here for under less official circumstances." Of course", Andre agreed as he followed the man to the lounge area. The man walked ahead of him and gestured him towards an empty seat, Andre smiled at him and accepted his offer, letting himself sink into the plush soft cushion of the sofa." Its quite unusual for you to visit me Andre, so before you speak, I already know something is wrong", Bernard began. He had a dull look in his eyes which seemed to say he was not interested in anything that would bother the peace he had struggled to build for himself here over the years.Andre managed an uncomfortable smile as his uncle spoke, he wasn't far from the truth and as he spoke, Andre had felt an overwhelm

First Of Many

Jane sighed as she recognized the neighborhood of the restaurant, she had hoped that the cab ride would be longer as she had grown quite comfortable in the seat of the cab, sleepy even. So much that she had been unaware of what was happening around her for a huge chunk of the trip from the traphouse till they had arrived here, in proximity now to her destination. She peered at the inner rearview mirror and found the driver looking at her, he had kind eyes and grey hair and seemed to understand how tired she was. " Do you need me to make a detour?", he asked, still looking at her through the mirror. She was caught off guard by the question and the more she thought about it, she saw the kindness behind the man's words. " Oh no! Thank you for offering sir", she responded quickly as she didn't know if she would be able to afford the fare if he did what he was offering. The old man nodded in understanding and turned his eyes back towards the road. In the next few minutes, the cab slowed

The Promise

Andre had decided to make this trip alone, he had decided not to take his chauffeur or any of his bodyguards along and that decision even though it had been hard to make, was necessary as he didn't need anyone to know the specifics of what he had come here to do. It was difficult enough to be able to bear the fact that his mother had kept her worsened health condition from him, it would be far worse that gossip about the situation and how he intended to remedy it got out.All the staff who worked under the Fernandez' employ knew better than to divulge any secrets that they came across while working for the family, but this in particular was something that Andre couldn't risk getting out. He had also reasoned that his uncle had a far better chance of reasoning with him if he came on his own and not as some spoiled heir with a convoy of employees following him to the establishment.Right now, it did not matter how he had come to see the man, his request had been turned down and for the

Jane was a bit nervous, it was going to be her first day on the job and to be frank, she really didn't know what to expect yet. She panicked for the first time today after dropping Stephanie off with her friend Mandy. Mandy owned a hair salon not too far from the white lotus and she had been quite keen to take Stephanie off her hands upon hearing that she had gotten a job at the white lotus, the news of the new and luxury establishment had no doubt gotten to her ears as her clientele in the highbrow area had no doubt visited the place at least once. The restaurant was the talk of the town, this made it so much easier for Mandy to agree to taking care of stephanie for the period that Jane would be at work. Stephanie was a curious little girl and seeing how women walked into the shop with very unruly and disorganized hair but leaving with beautifully styled ones seemed to intrigue her, enough not to even notice when her mother left the shop. As Jane stepped into the restaurant that mor

You don't seem very scared Jane," Adrian scoffed as they both settled down inside his car. She could tell that they weren't the only ones in the vehicle as a faint cloud of smoke kept rising from behind them, the backseat was undoubtedly occupied. The only information Jane did not have was how many people were sitting there."I must be losing my powers, it's either that or you"re getting attracted to me Jane," he continued shamelessly as she stretched his hand across the space between their seats and brushed aside the strand of hair that fell across her face.Jane jolted backwards away from his hand in repulsion as laughter came from the back seat at the drama happening in front of them. From the sound of their voices, Jane could tell that there were two of them. She wondered why they were here so soon after giving her time to raise the money she owed them."I bet you're wondering why we're here Janie," Adrian's shrill voice came yet again as he smirked in her direction. Jane was tryi

Him Again?

"Hey Mandy," Jane called into her phone as she readied herself for the uncomfortable task of asking her friend if she was going to be able to watch stephanie today while she worked. "You do know you don't have to be so polite when you want to bring Stephanie over," Mandy teased as she heard her friend's pleading voice over the phone. Jane always felt like the little girl was inconveniencing the ladies and was increasingly skeptical about leaving Stephanie there. "I'm going to have to bother you one more time Mandy," She squeaked into the phone. "It's alright Silly, but you have to bring her by in the afternoon, I have to go pick up supplies this morning and I don't know how long I'm going to be there. You can hang onto her for a little while till I'm back, I'll call you," Mandy informed her. Jane knew better than to express her dipleasure at the fact that Mandy was not going to be around, She was already doing her a huge favor watching over Stephanie while she worked. She turned h

Coincidence?

Jane's heart raced as she stood there, her gaze shifting between the two men in the room. The atmosphere felt charged, an unspoken tension hung in the air, and she found herself momentarily lost for words. She cleared her throat, gathering her composure, and met the gaze of the man who had asked the question."I... I'm sorry for interrupting," she began, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "Margaret told me to come here. I have a note from her."She held out the piece of paper she had received, noticing that both men exchanged a quick, almost imperceptible glance before focusing their attention back on her. The man who had offered her the job took the note and glanced at it briefly, his face betraying no emotion."Please, have a seat," he gestured to the chair in front of his desk. Jane hesitated for a moment before complying, her eyes never leaving his face. The other man, who was seated to the side, leaned back in his chair, studying her with an intensity that sent a shiver do
