Elena’s POVI kept stealing glances at Henry, even though He has stopped looking my way since he got to the house. I never knew that he was the one hosting this party. I wished I didn’t agree to Clare’s pressure to attend. Then there was one time, I turned to commit my theft, and he was staring at me. Immediately I looked away. I have been caught. I waited for a while and there he was staring at me. He didn’t look away when I did and I became concerned. I checked my face from the reflection of my phone. I didn’t have lipstick in my teeth. My hair was still in place. When I tried to look at him again, he was staring at me. I shuddered.“Alright people, gather round. We are going to play a game. ” a guy in a black T shirt said. The party was getting boring by the minute.“Truth or dare” someone said. People booed at the person.“No we are not going to do that. Let’s play a game of spin the bottle” he said. I tried not to be among but Clare held me back. “Elena we have to be in the ga

Elena and Henry engaged in a staring contest. Henry looked. He wanted to know if she would look away. Meanwhile Elena was shocked to find him staring at her outside. What was he doing outside she wondered. For a weird reason, Elena didn’t look away, even when she wanted to. She loved the way Henry’s eyes stared into hers. With the way he angled his body towards her. It spoke of how he wanted her. She gasped at the intensity and was about looking away, when something broke that spell. Just like that call.“Henry!” a brunette into him and hugged him. “I have been looking everywhere for you” she whined. Henry fought the urge to fling the girl to the other end of the balcony but he still did something. He shoved her off him and she almost tripped. Usually henry would have come to her and asked if she was alright but he didn’t. “Go inside Brianna” henry said in gritted teeth. The brunette looked around. She smiled widely and walked back inside. Henry cursed under his breath. The brunette

Henry woke up to voices arguing. He got out of bed, his little feet barely making it to the floor and he jumped down. Everywhere is so dark that he couldn’t even see his hands or his next step.Where is mum and dad? He walked down the hall way. Then suddenly there was a bright light plunged in his face. Henry squinted and shrank back. Strong hands held his face in place as the light illuminated downstairs, at the siting room, he could see mum and dad knelling with hands, at the back of their heads.“Henry! Close your eyes!” His mother yelled. Just then those same hands carried him up. Panic flew to Henry’s throat.“Mummy!” he yelled as he wriggled his legs in the air. His kicks and punches on the thigh of wall like chest of the man carrying him, was like pouring water on a rock. It had no effect. The man took Henry down and he ran into the arms of his mother.Henry’s heart thundered as he looked from the scary looking man to his mother.“ You didn’t tell my son about me” the t

Henry blinked like a faulty bulb.What the hell did I just read?Immediately Henry’s mood went sour like a leftover food. He looked up to see the questioning gaze of his boys. He had not spoken anything since he read that text. He looked at their faces, one after the other.Who amongst them is it? He thought as he stared at them, as if to gaze into their soulUnfortunately for him, he was not Luther king, who could sniff out the devil in his midst. He ran his hands through his hair. A snitch? Again? He had never hated the mafia like now. The fact that the people he trusted were ever ready to hand him over to his rivals made his stomach churn. His insides threatened to eject the food he had for breakfast.Someone cleared his throat and that brought Henry back to reality.He stood and clapped his hands.” Okay guys, I haven’t gotten confirmation yet but I think the president wants to host us at the president Villa” He saw their faces lit up like a Christmas tree. While some frowned.

‘He is lying’Three words. Just three words had become the bane of Henry’s existence. Henry shut his eyes and inhaled deeply. At this point, this was torture. Then he though but a moment, what if this was some sick game played by some rivals. Maybe they were jealous and wanted to cause animosity between them? Who knows.“Boss” Henry jumped as he heard that voice. He turned around to see Marcus.“Your other phone have been ringing”. He said as he handed Henry the phone.“Ohh…thank you” Henry slowly collected it. He held unto it like it was bomb that was about to explode. He was wary of phones these days. Especially his phone. Marcus stared at him with a confused expression. Henry began to laugh nervously He cracked his head on what to say to not look stupid. Just like a cartoon character, who had got a bright idea, he smiled brightly as if Marcus could see the imaginary bulb on his head.“ I saw online that the model could burn a car” he said glancing at the phone he held at his finge
