All Chapters of FATES ENTWINED: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ISABELLA“Good morning ma’am,” My secretary Nancy greeted me as I stormed through the reception headed to my office. I walked into my not so large office and sat on the creaking old wooden chair that belonged to my dad when he was CEO.As I sat on my chair, I finally replied to Nancy. “Good morning Nancy. Has Mr. Parker reached out to us yet?”“Yes ma’am,” My heart began to beat fast as I waited for Nancy to speak up. Mr. Parker is a crucial business partner that I badly needed to get this company back on its feet.“Well, what are you waiting for Nancy, spill it!” I said as I pounded my fists on the table showing my impatience.“He said he’s not interested in our proposition,” She announced, squinting her eyes probably in fear of what my reaction would be.I let out a sigh and stood up from my chair, looking at the tiny window in my office. Mr. Parker was the only option I had to get this company back on its feet. My father’s architecture company wasn’t thriving while he was alive b

ISABELLAMy luggage was taken by a staff of Alexander’s. As I walked up the grand staircase to the entrance of the mansion. “Good evening ma’am. You must be Mrs. Isabella,” One of the staff that stood by the entrance greeted me“Yes, I am,”“Alright ma’am, Mr Alexander is inside waiting for you. Allow me to take you to him,” He said as he walked me into the house.“Thank you,”The house was the most beautiful place I had ever been to. The walls were painted white, with golden furniture.It was definitely the house of a rich person. I was greeted by the cool breeze of the air conditioner. My father got us an air conditioner about 20 years ago but it didn’t take long before it got spoilt and he decided not to fix it or buy a new one.The house screamed luxury, from the exquisite paintings to the glass vases filled with different types of flowers.We got to the living room and I met Alexander sitting on a long C-shaped chair facing his 22-inch flat screen tv. “Sir, the lady is around,”

Alexander managed to stay calm as he talked, ‘Hey man, isn’t it rather rude of you to barge into my house and cause a nuisance here? You don’t have courtesy for anything? Is that how you paupers behave? The mysterious man continues laughing, “Did you just call me a pauper, he said; If not that I am in a good mood, I should have landed a blow on your face. Do you think you can keep all this property to yourself? For your information, I am Nathan Mayors, the rightful heir to these properties and I have come to take everything from you…I mean everything!”. Alexander becomes furious; “You must be out of your mind! How dare you walk into my house and insult my personality?”, he said angrily. I was dumbfounded and didn’t know if I should calm Alexander or insult the mysterious man turned Nathan, I forced myself to mutter out some incoherent words, “Ehm Alex… Nathan cuts in, “you won't say anything in this matter young woman”. His face looks red and burning with some fuse of resentment. “

In no time, I was done dressing up. I wore a navy blue gown laced with a red belt radiating with a flow that wasn't ordinary. I kept feeling myself as I walked down the stairs to the garage; John was already there waiting for me. “Good morning Ma”, he said with a thick voice that sounded like a rushing water. This was the first time I am particularly noticing his voice.“Good morning John”! I responded. “You look elegant this morning”, I said to commend his look:; my usual practice to everybody I meet daily.“Thank you ma”, he responded with a smile on his face; I could guess I just made his day with my polite complement. “Where are we heading to”, he asked.“My office of course, today is a money making day”, I said jokingly.John tuned in to a radio station as we journey, the music sounded so absent to me but John seems to enjoy every bit of it; in fact, he literally sang it as it was been played. So many things could have been responsible for my absent mindedness to

As John zoomed off, I kept looking at the weird face heading towards the car , the face looked a little familiar but I can't place it and the fact that it's raising curiosity in me makes it more dramatic; I could swore I have seen the face before.“Who is that?” the weird looking man asked Quincy“It's none of your bloody concern, let's go straight to what we are here for”, Quincy responded as she walks“You won't talk to me like that, he said as he walks towards her in anger.“See Nathan, whatever it is we do is strictly limited to what we share, every other place I go, any other thing I do and any every other people I move with is non of your bloody business”, she shouts at him loudly“Oh, I know your plans, you think you can robe me and expose me rig, right? You are bidding, if I go down, we are going down together, get that into your number skull”, Nathan replied“Oh, so you think I will be gullible to tell a third party about this drug deal? How can you be so unrealist
