Charlotte used one of her palms to clean her face and said, “If you are here to rescue me as you have said, please, hide the guns.” Charles and Logan smiled and they hid their guns. “Someone is knocking on the door, boss,” Logan said frightfully. “I can hear the sound too; we need to be courageous,” Charles said as he gazed at Logan’s face. “Alright, boss,” Logan said. The gangsters removed their guns from their pockets and the threesome sauntered towards the entryway. “You have to be calm, Charlotte,” Logan said when the threesome got to the first room. They walked towards the entryway and Charles opened the door gently. As soon as Charles opened the door, they could see Lucas standing in front of them. Logan pointed the gun at Lucas and shot him. Lucas screamed, he staggered fo

When Charles got to the entryway, he used one hand to clutch the bowl and he used the other hand to pull the door. He exited the dining room and walked towards the kitchen. When Charles got to the kitchen, he placed the empty bowl on the table and walked out of the kitchen. When Charles got to the sitting room, he walked towards the refrigerator and opened it. He took out a bottle of chilled water and a mug and closed the refrigerator back. “It’s high time we went to bed,” Charles said as he walked towards the couches. “Just give us some minutes, dad,” Luca said with a glare. Charles stood beside the table, he opened the bottle and poured a little chilled water into the mug he was clutching. He covered the bot

He walked towards the entryway and knocked on the door twice. Magdalene, who had been resting on one of the couches, heard the knock coming from the door; she stood up from the couch and walked towards the entryway. “Welcome, lover boy,” Magdalene said as soon as she opened the door. “Thank you, Magdalene,” Willy said with a smile. He closed the door and held Magdalene’s right hand. “I guess you had a nice time at the plaza?” Magdalene said as the twosome sauntered towards the couches. “Yes, I did; but the stagflation is nothing to write home about,” Willy said. “We will surely come over it,” Magdalene said. Willy supported Magdalene to sit down and they both sat down on a couch. “I am shocked you came back from antenatal care on time today,” Willy said and gazed at Magdalene’s face. Magdalene smile

Professor MacPherson smiled and said, “I should have done more than that; you just have to accept the little I can offer.” “The little you could offer? It’s a whole sum. Once again, thank you,” Charles said. “You are welcome. I don’t have the money on me now; could you give me your bank account details, so that I can transfer the money to you via online banking?” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Charles’ face. “We don’t have pen and paper here; can I type it on your mobile phone?” Charles said. “Yeah…,” professor MacPherson said. He stuck his left hand into one of his pockets and took out his mobile phone. He switched on the mobile phone and waited for applications to appear on th

She gazed at professor MacPherson who was slugging on the bed. “It’s just 6:01 am,” Charlotte muttered. She wore her pair of slippers and sauntered towards the entryway. “I don’t even see my toothbrush again,” Charlotte muttered when she got to the bathroom. She left the bathroom for the kitchen. “What can I cook? The professor needs to eat something before leaving this house,” Charlotte muttered, and gazed at the foodstuffs inside the kitchen. “I think spaghetti would do it. Come to think of it, the foodstuffs are just the same way I left them; I don’t think Ayla cooked when I was away,” Charlotte muttered. Charlotte kindled the fire and placed a pot on the stove. She poured water inside the pot and heard some footsteps.
