I AM PAINED Maven walked into the house looking like a beaten dog. Lady Victoria had just finished a freshly made meal and in her hand was a glass of chilled freshly made juice.What's with the frown? Did anyone offend you?” She asked while watching Maven match into the li ring with both shoes in her hand.“You look like you saw a ghost and I am talking to you Maven who made you so upset that you don't even want to speak with me?” Victoria became very much concerned with her daughter's new attitude.“You caused it mom. I told you I didn't want to but you forced me into it. And now look at the embarrassment you made me face in public. I am on the blogs and on every damn social media platform as the fiancee of a man who claims to be wealthy yet could afford to pay for his meal at the town's central cafe. Isn't that crazy? I bet you like the new title I have been given”. Maven sparked like a tiny ray of light in a dark room“What the heck are you talking about? I asked you to go out on

REVEALEDWhen Sabastian finished cleaning the entire hall was almost empty. He looked round the hall as sweat dripped from his neck down to his back and from his forehead to his chin. His white inner shirt soaked with sweat after the long work. He looked over at Snipper and Spider who were busy by the side of the cafe with the chess game. A bottle of Hennessy on one side along with some cookies to munch while they look out for Sabastian to finish his goddamn job.“I am done,” he said without remorse. A hint of pride and arrogance hung in his words as he spoke to them. Snipper and Spider traced their eyes to him and laughed out heavily. “You are done—what? It seems you weren't raised with some sort of respect for anyone. Huh. Maybe will teach you how to speak to other humans nicely” Sniper was about to stand from his seat when Spider asked him to sit. “Forget about the spoiled fool. He would pee pants if you take any step closer to him. Give him his keys and we don't want to see yo

MAVEN HAS GONE MADWhen grandma noticed Maven's absence from the meeting the next morning she knew something was wrong. “How could she abandon everything like that after everything we have Newman through to get this project done.” She scowled angrily pacing the room to and fro.“I told she is incompetent but you don't see anything wrong with her nonchalant attire”. Patrick said the words with spite. But grandma quickly shot him out like a plague threatening to enter a city with armed soldiers.“Shut your trap. You did worse in less than four months and you dare to call Maven incompetent? This was the very first time grandma would be taking sides with Maven.“I shall not have to speak about Maven in such a way”. Grandma scolded with a frown on her face. ‘I only wanted to—”“Shut it Patrick there's no need for all that. I need to find her or summon her here” Grandma Clara spoke with pain in her heart.“She giant taking my calls I called her several times to no avail”. Patrick said

ANOTHER MOVE“What do we tell mom, that’s what should be on your mind at this moment Derrick. Get that rude boy out of your head. We haven’t done anything since opening and we left other stuff behind because we want to try our chances just to make our mother see how truly ‘worthy’ we are”. Patrick let the words fall out of his mouth in anger. He just cannot imagine that the boss of the Al Thani group who had asked them to come suddenly changed his mind from seeing themes planned. This was a slap to their faces.“I heard his grandson is in charge now, the boy doesn’t have respect for elders and business associates. I mean look how he just made us look like fools before his staff. I feel so ashamed to have showed up here with you in the first place.“There is never a time you want to come with me, but you would eat the money once it drops in your debt infested account “Patrick scowled and went on to slam the car door after entering the front sit. He started the car and drove out of the

TERMS AND CONDITIONS Mavens eyes widened the moment she heard him say terms and conditions.That's insane, she knows the terms and conditions would definitely soothe her family and the company so for now she didn't have anything to fear until he asked. “Don't give me that look Ms. Taylor or should I refer to you as Mrs. Thomas Al Thani” Thomas teased her in a way that her legs began to tremble under the table. She cursed and muttered under her breath. Now she can only wish uncle Patrick and uncle Derrick were here to face the heat with her. She held the papers close to herself, inside her suit was sweat forming beads and trailing down her back. She has thought it would be very easy to sign the damn documents and leave but reverse seems to be the case here as every passing moment grew out with difficulty. She puffed out hot air as everyone began to leave the room. “Let me have that Ms. Taylor”. Thomas said and grabbed the document from her even before she could stutter a word fr
