“The call”“What call?”Amazed by her sudden forgetfulness, Vincent stared at Jane in disbelief with his lips slightly parted. “Are you for real?”“Ohh, Samuel”All that talk about Elizabeth had made Jane to suddenly forget what they were initially supposed to do a short while ago.“Why are you staring at me like that?”“You forget your phone every single day yet I don’t react that way…..Jeez”Vincent wanted to say something to defend himself but he held back instead, it was only going to prolong the issue further and Vincent wasn’t prepared to take that route at the moment.And he certainly wasn’t prepared for another round of Jane’s banters, at least not until a few issues had been resolved with Samuel and Elizabeth.Jane went ahead to copy Samuel's number from the text that Vincent had sent her before proceeding to paste it on her dialer.One tap away from hitting the call button, she paused

Jane sat in front of her large, door-sized window staring into oblivion when her moment of silence was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.The moment she heard this knock on the door, she discarded her thoughts, diverting her attention towards the knock coming from her door.“Who could that possibly be?“ She wondered to herself as she stayed put without moving an inch, thinking that the person would probably assume that she was asleep and eventually go away.For some reason, she was just not in the mood that evening.It felt as though her emotions were playing out in unison with the weather.Dark, cloudy, foggy…… She just wanted to relax.From the rhythm of the knock, Jane figured that the person at the door could only be Vincent.There were only three people who lived in that house; herself, Marie and Vincent.Ms. Marie had already dropped off her tea and obviously had no business with her until her ne

As far as Vincent knew Elizabeth she was not one of a kind, rather, she was one of the kinds to stay away from.Elizabeth was shrewd, hot headed and mannerless, the direct opposite of the calm, polite Samuel.Apart from her parents and siblings, Samuel was probably the only person on earth who was blind to all of her flaws.What exactly could Elizabeth have done to Samuel that warranted him to year for her so badly.Was he doing all of this on his own accord, was she blackmailing him, or has she cast a spell on him?“I see…….So you’re willing to do anything to keep her?”“Absolutely anything“This was getting even more serious than Vincent initially pictured it to be but none of this was really Vincent’s business.He just wanted to set things right so that he wouldn’t be stuck with a feeling of guilt.Whatever the outcome might eventually turn out to be in the end was all on Samuel.Clearing his throat, Vincent took a sip out of his glass before attempting to speak, “If that’s the cas

His Bugatti Veyron drove through a series of beautiful and luxurious looking houses as his car headed out of his residential area, readying itself to hit the road that led to the highway.Driving carefully in the quietness of the foggy looking highway, he had all his attention fixed on the road and nothing else but the road.Due to how early it was, there were only a few cars plying the road at that time of the day.It was still quite early, just 8:00 am at the time and a lot of people that reside close to that area had barely woken up by then.Most student’s were already either at school or on their way to their various schools.Most successful businessmen were still in bed at that time, men like Vincent who barely had anything important to do during the week.The drive to Vincent’s chosen branch of the consortium was a long one and a boring one at that.Usually, he would comfortably sit in the back of the car and keep himself busy with his phone while Vincent drove him wherever he w

“Thank you!” Richard showed his appreciation to the waiter when he came back to their table with their complete orders.Vincent knew from the very start that the conversation between himself and Richard was going to be a very awkward one especially since they’ve had a long bad history together in the past.“It’s almost like I haven’t seen you since forever Vincenzo……..It’s funny how fast time flies”“Yeah…” With a faint smile, Vincent nodded his head, Richard was right and he couldn't agree less.Vincent had a lot of questions on his mind about Richard but one thing he was overly curious about was what eventually happened to Richard after the incident that transpired at their final year prom night.He just couldn’t hold back the question he had harboured in his mind for a very long time as he thought of ways to ask Richard…... .What became of him after that very night.“I’m really sorry about what happened to you that night……”There was an awkward silence between the two before Richar
