The silence hoovered around the table, making it very possible for one to know if a pin fell to the ground. Each one of them ate their food in silence, with various thoughts playing in their heads. However, amidst the silence, the two grandsons of Mr. Belcraft stole glances at each other, not in happiness, but in anger and hatred. After the electrifying news of their fight making the headlines, the both of them knew better than to get ahead of themselves, and get into some other fight or argument. Especially after their grandfather was still with them. “Has any one of you gone through the news today?” Mr. Belcraft asked, breaking the silence. Yet, none of the brothers made an attempt to respond. They just stared at their grandfather, and back at their food. They were fully aware of what he was trying to let them in on. But, none of them could explain how the old man was feeling, or even felt at the moment. “I must commend your performance at the event last night. It was quite a g

Emily was stunned to hear that. A part of her heart was quite ready for something like that but it was so difficult now that she finally heard it directly from Lucas. “Okay…what are you going to do now?” She asked Lucas, trying so hard to subdue the tears that threatened to fall out of her eyes. Lucas looked at Emily softly after which he held her hands softly. “You know that I can’t do that. You shouldn’t worry about anything. I would definitely handle it”, he said with a reassuring tone. Even if he sounded quite convincing, Emily wasn’t ready to hear of it.

The moment Lucas walked back into his grandfather’s mansion, he could sense a change in the atmosphere. His grandfather looked at him with displeasure just as he tapped his feet on the ground restlessly. “What’s your plan, Lucas?” He finally asked Lucas who was lost for a while. This was the very first time he caught sight of his grandfather staring at him with so much disdain. The past few days were quite rocky for the both of them but it turned out to be worse on this day. “What do you mean by that, father?” Lucas asked again, trying to remain calm even if his heart was beating faster.

Denver pulled up at the front of Claire’s house with smiles on his face and a small box of chocolate. He had stopped by at a gift store on his way to surprise her, something he had never done before. “What!! One thousand dollar worth of gift? Naaaa…that's too much for a low class seasonal girlfriend.” he bellowed inside his head while observing all the gift boxes and their price tags. All the items there were of high price and he doesn't think Claire is deserving of anything really expensive so he resolved to get her a small box of chocolate instead. “Hum Hum hum” he cleared his throat while adjusting his shirt, he hopped down from the car and took pride strides toward the door. The door jerked open at first knock, revealing the bright and beaming face of Claire. She looked excited seeing him, but became even more elated when she caught sight of the box in his hand. She swallowed hard, and blinked severally in a minute, trying so hard to restrain herself from asking the one ver

The sound of chirping birds and blaring of her alarm woke her from sleep. She had been so excited the night before and had even set her alarm to ring two hours before the meeting time so that she would have all the time in the world to prepare and still be early for the meeting. “Breath in and out! Emily you need to be calm, so you dont ruin everything you have planned for” she whispered inaudibly to herself trying to calm her racing heart. She strolled towards her closet and began to search out for the best outfit that would suit her meeting. She had planned on giving herself a total cover up, so that the woman wouldn't be able to take a guess on who she is. And that was the exact thing she was walking towards. She picked out a black long dress, one of the dresses that Lucas had gotten for her and a Veil to cover her hair. She covered her jaw to her nose line with a nose mask, and then a dark sun shade that did well in concealing her entire identity.“Perfecto!” she whisper
