Mariana sat on the plane, staring outside from the window, until she dozed off. Finally, she was on her way to Boston, the capital city of Euphoria.She had searched for the Woodluck family residence in the Urban area, and with the help of the internet, she could easily locate the place. She sneaked out of the house after Katherine had left for work. When she landed in Boston, she boarded a cab directly to her destination. A few minutes later, she was standing right in front of the house. Dead silence engulfed the street, it was normal for the Urban areas. She scaled through the silent road, and all she could see was one big house and another.She sauntered towards the Woodluck mansion gate. When she got to the huge gate, a young man opened up to attend to her. "Good day ma'am, please, state your reasons for coming." He said to her politely. She stole a glance at the compound from the little view she had through the gates. She was marveled by the beauty. "I want to see the Woodluc

"I've always loved you, Mariana. Truth is, at that time, I needed something other than love. I needed to be successful, and Becca could give me that. I'm sorry I put you through all that. You didn't deserve it." Gregory said to her, his eyes filled with pain and regret. "But if given the chance in the same situation, you'll do it all over again won't you?" Mariana asked, holding up her cutlery tightly. She glared at him, and he sighed.He shifted his gaze to the direction of the sitting room, knowing someone had just arrived. "Answer my question, Gregory!" She yelled at him, but he kept still. He couldn't look her in the face, because she knew the answer to that question. He would do it all over again, if given a chance. "Where the fuck has everybody gone," Becca's voice sounded tiredly from the seating room. Gregory sighed, and ran his hands across his face. "You should go," he said to Mariana. His voice was like a whisper, and a wild smirk spread across her face, mockingly. "Y

It was early on a Saturday morning. Inside General Orlando's compound, Kelvin and Uncle Theo alighted from the car. A few minutes ago, a fleet of luxurious vehicles had flocked into the compound. Uncle Theo dashed forward, with a smile on his face, on seeing the general walking towards him, with his hands spread wide in the air. Kelvin followed him behind, counting his steps, to ensure he wasn't walking faster than him. His eyes traveled around the compound, observing everything of interest. There was a red garden by his left, he stared at the beautiful red flowers, until Uncle Theo's voice called his name, drawing his attention. As he was about to turn and face his front, he sighted a girl in the garden.He felt a rush of emotions, and it was strange. "Who is that? And why is she familiar?" He thought, but Uncle Theo called his name again, and he fastened his step.Standing before him was General Orlando. He was tall, and hefty. He had a very large mustache that made him look sca

"How dare you come to my house and tell my father about our meeting? Do you have any idea what that might cost me?" Cara yelled at Kelvin, as they were alone in the sitting room. General Orlando had led Uncle Theo out to the garden. By doing so, they gave Kelvin and Cara some privacy.Kelvin stared at her with a grin on his face. He combed his hair with his palms and peeped if there was anyone around."You should be happy I didn't talk about our meeting in Vancouzer," he whispered, and she paused in fear. She lowered her shoulders, feeling embarrassed. Her father was a very strict man, and wouldn't take such news lightly. "Oh! Please. You lost your sense of humor huh?! I was joking about that and you know it. If I was going to tell anyone we wouldn't be having this discussion." Kelvin interrupted quickly, seeing how worried she had become. "Hey listen, it's not funny. I know you think it's funny, but it's not. Don't make such jokes, please. And besides, I was drunk. You wouldn't da

She knew how strong her love for Gregory was back in the day.Kelvin sat on the sofa confused about the whole thing. "Mom, what are you telling me? I need you to calm down and speak so I can understand." He said tiredly, after hearing so many angry words from his Mom.Becca sighed and sniffed in twice. Her eyes have become teary. In truth, she was scared of Mariana, because she was the one person that could ruin her beautiful marriage. "Okay… okay," she said and wiped her eyes clean."I came back home 3 days ago, son. I was surprised when I got to the dining and saw your father and his first lover back in high school. You won't believe son, it's Katherine's Mom, Mariana

The people went about their daily lives like nothing else mattered.Mariana was in the kitchen making dishes, anticipating the return of Johnny, her only son.

Kelvin walked into the house in his expensive tuxedo suit, with two hefty bouncers following him behind. As he stepped in, the room was quiet, but he knew someone had to be

Two days later**It was 6 p.m. when Katherine returned home. She was tired and hungry, her stomach growling continuously, and she had to stop at a grocery store and get some chips and milk to quench her hunger.When she arrived home, the unpleasant smell of burnt food came from the house. She rushed into the house, only to find her mother sleeping peacefully, while the whole house smelled like barbecue."Jesus Christ! Mom!" She screamed, but Mariana was carried away by her peaceful state. Katherine ignored her and ran to the kitchen. It was already smoking everywhere. She quickly turned off the fire and rushed out of the kitchen. "Mom!" She yelled, returning back to the sitting room in anger. When she got to the sitting room, Mariana had woken up and was stretching herself on the couch. "Mom! What's this? Do you know how dangerous this is? Do you want to burn the whole house? What if I hadn't come back earlier?" She queried, and Mariana stared at her with her sleepy eyes.After stre

It was the weekend, and Kelvin and Frank were seated in a bar, with bottles of whiskey right in front of them. Towards the far left end of the bar was an old man, playing his violin to the entertainment of the people. While they all watched him peacefully, as he displayed his skill, Kelvin buried his gaze on the table, ignoring everything around him. He was absent-minded, not even the beautiful tone of the violin could steal his attention.A pretty young lady walked briskly into the bar and settled at a distance from Kelvin and Frank's location. Frank stared at her in admiration, but Kelvin hadn't noticed her presence.She was tall and curvy, her dark sexy eyes were enough to captivate a man. She stole a glance at Kelvin and smiled.

Kelvin retorted, his eyes filled with confusion. He had been goin

However, following the recent development, he knew there was no time to rest.He needed to find out what was going on, and what Frank knew. Sitting on the balcony, he stared at the sky, wondering what he was thinking when he fell for Cara. He wasn't sure, and couldn't take Frank's words for a fact. He left his seat and paced around a little. Over the past few days, he had been trying to call Cara Orlando via the contact she provided, but he couldn't reach her. He glanced at his wristwatch and sighed.He picked up his cell phone and sent her a message asking for a date at the COBMENIR Hotel, the biggest hotel in Boston. After a few minutes, he got no reply. He dialed her contact, and as usual, there was no response. He smashed his phone on the table in annoyance, not knowing that Cara was doing it deliberately. She had noticed he
