Ava was standing in front of the sitting room. She was about to open the door and walk into the house, but she was undecided as to when she would do that since she wasn't sure of where her father was at the moment. She decided not to take chances. She walked towards the small door leading to the hallway. It was the only way she could sneak into the house without being seen by her father. Once she walked into the house, she first sighted her father seated in the sitting room. Her heart sank into her stomach immediately when she saw her father seated there in the sitting room. She sighed deeply when she looked closer, and realized that he was already asleep. She thought that he must have slept off while watching the show that was being shown on the large screen. She stared at the screen for a while. It was a boring show to her and she wondered why her father found the show interesting. She began to tiptoe into the house through the hallway when her mom suddenly bumped into her. Ava

Henry checked his wristwatch for the umpteenth time, and Ava was not there yet. He tapped the table continuously using his finger. He kept staring at the door and back at the table. Someone walked into the open building at a beautiful spot in the park. There were a few people seated at different tables, but she ignored them all and walked straight to where Henry sat. He lifted his head immediately when she approached, and a smile curved on his lips, but the smile disappeared immediately when he realized that she wasn't Ava. She was smiling down at Henry, and Henry didn't recognise her from anywhere. "Who are you, and what do you want?" He demanded with a scorn. She sighed and tried to sit on the empty chair opposite Henry, but he quickly stuck his chair under the table and pulled the chair in. "Someone would join me soon, and I am sure she would not want to see you here," Henry told her. She hissed and walked away from the table. She found another table with a single man and joi

Linda lay in her room with her eyes fixed on the ceiling as her back hugged the wall. She could hear her mom and James talking and laughing heartily like their whole lives depended on it. She could not stop wondering what was so funny. They had turned her into a shadow of her former self, and everyone else seemed to have moved on. She wished that she didn't listen to them at all. She was still contemplating how life would have turned out if she had waited a little longer when she heard a knock on her door. She stood up and walked towards the door.Linda opened the door and met James standing there. He had a neutral look on his face, so Linda could not guess what was going on in his head. "Someone is here to see you," James informed her. "He's from the Floater's..."Linda's heart sank when she heard the Floater's family, and she didn't wait for James to finish what he had to say before she stormed out of her room. James sighed and followed behind her. "You could not even wait for m

The day for the board meeting where Henry was eventually going to have the board meeting where he would eventually meet with the Guild family after the last incident with them and Henry was finding himself getting more restless as the date drew near and he knew it had to do with him finally getting to meet face to face with Linda again after their break up. It wasn't like he was nervous or something, he was certain that he had finally gotten over his feelings for Linda and would not feel nervous at the sight of her, but why was he restless?There was a lump on his throat all through that morning as he got ready for work, he just couldn't help but think about all the problems he had to face at that moment, following the visit from his father's relative the other day at the office, he knew that he was supposed to be up and doing and he really needed to hurry up with the company. He could tell that there was a plot against him but he didn't want to invest too much time in thinking about

Henry wondered why there was a hitch in his heart after he ended the call with Ava. He did not like the lump in his throat which he had to swallow hard to get rid of.Why did he have that kind of feeling after saying no to a request from her?Henry drove straight home after he finished work while thinking of the sad event which had occurred in his company some days ago. He could not help but have the feeling that someone was probably responsible for what happened but he couldn't place his fingers on it.He had thought initially that this would be easier than having to live with the Guild family, but as it stands now, it seemed like setting up his own company turned out to be the hardest of all.By the time Henry arrived home, he was determined that he would not let himself be swayed by the little opposition he was facing and make sure he didn't become the failed heir like Mr Benedict had predicted.It was already late and Henry thought his mother would probably already be asleep by th
