Jessica arrived home from her workplace. She was looking quite worried and tired. Her mood had swung to something unexplainable to herself since she left Mr. Isaac's office today. The mood was a mix of sadness, frustration, and confusion.The discussion they had about David had brought the image of the young man back to her mind. For a while now, she had been trying to get rid of his image. If not for anything else, at least she had discovered that he already had a partner.The problem was not just the image in her head, but there were also thoughts about the attractive man that had been lingering in her heart for some time.Sitting on a couch in her living room, she was unaware that she had left her present world behind as she had dived into another world in a faraway planet, lost in deep thought.'What's wrong with you, Jessy?' she questioned her mind.After questioning herself, she began to reply.'I never thought that the love of a man could bring these mixed emotions back after b

After Elena was able to escape Patrick's rage, she headed out of the villa and stopped a cab."The City Market," she announced as she entered.Closing the passengers' door and using the seat belt, she accidentally exchanged glances with the cabbie through the rear mirror.His eyes had a disdainful look. Irritated, Elena shifted her gaze away from the mirror, wondering if the look was actually for her or if he caught sight of something else instead."This is none of my business but still my business, anyway. Are you a member of the most cruel family too, or did you just come to visit them?" the cabbie questioned as he kick-started the car engine.Elena wasn't expecting that he was talking to her, as she was just looking out the window as the vehicle drove off.Amidst the view, her brain brought the picture of the scene between her and her brother.'Patrick meant to stone me with the heavy table? What if I hadn't run for my life?' she thought.'It seems he had truly reached the edge of

"Elena, what's going on? Are you in a dreamland?" She questioned herself in a low tone with her heart burning so badly. She was already at the verge of tears. She couldn't believe the embarrassment the lady gave her just now was happening in the same world she had been living in since she was born."Elena, that was an utmost embarrassment to you." Her voice was filled with so much pity as the tears nearly down her eyes."Am I expected to cry? No, I can't." She was helping herself with some little courage while her voice was already shaking. She might burst into tears anytime soon.Her walking steps had become unexplainable as she was plugging in leg into leg. Her walking steps were quite faster but it wasn't as fast as that. She might fall if she's not careful. If not that she's still needed to walk, she would have substituted the leg for something else to do the walking. The embarrassment had really made her freeze out, the shock had held her legs more tightly.At this point she even

During the time that David went to the market to get the gift, The City Market was just newly opened. At that time, the market was hunting for more customers to come around to patronize them.So, they picked up an idea, which was seeking advice from a few customers who came around on how to make the market the choice of the people despite the competition with other big markets in the city.Any customer who is able to provide helpful advice will be given the chance to take any expensive goods of his choice for any amount he wished to pay for it.On this day, David was approached, and they asked for his suggestion, despite that he was poorly dressed. There was much concern about the outcome of his suggestion and not his outfit.With a quick thought, he began."I will commend that The City Market has the potential to become a very popular and vast market in a short time. The reason behind my point is that it's not a market that sells just a single or selected product but it's a market th

Diana returned with a glass of water and poured some into the old woman's mouth, while her mother and Patrick stood behind her, supporting her body to prevent her from falling.As soon as she drank the water, she had another slight cough. "Coughs...""Take it easy on yourself, mother," Patrick urged.As soon as the old woman regained a little strength, she stood up and snapped at her children, "Get away from me, I'm still strong and healthy." She coughed again, and Elena and her elder brother wanted to rush to her before she scolded them,"I said, stay away from me!""We're sorry, mother," Patrick apologized as he bowed slightly.Elena wondered how the old woman managed to walk from her room to the living room despite her illness. She wanted to ask about it, but she thought it might sound stupid to ask at that moment.Granny slowly walked to her seat and sat, staring at them all."Why do you all want me dead?" Granny asked, making all her children raised their heads and look at each o
