A TRICK Maven knows that talking to Thomas at this time was simply just a very wrong idea. She took grandma’s words as just a way of having her think she had changed. With the strange chime on the doorbell Maven looked at grandma and then back to her drink. “That should be your uncle and his son”. MA Clara declared and just then the maid rushed to the door and opened to reveal Uncle Patrick, Uncle Damon and David Maven rolled her eyes unconsciously before they reached the living room. The three musketeers are the reason grandma has been treating her badly all these while. She smacked her lip and now that she knows she has defeated them she raised her shoulders and crossed her legs comfortably on the seat. “Oh look who we have here. She has come to report herself on the simple task that she could not do for the family yet she has the effrontery to cross her legs like she can actually buy the whole house. “You must be respectful David’. Grandma shunned him for once on Mavens defe

A GOOD SURPRISE Maven turned off the blaring alarm quickly. She sighed heavily in disgust. “What the hell is wrong with me? Why are y suddenly tired of going to work”. She told herself and managed to slip out of bed with grudges. She rushed over to the laptop she had kept on her reading table with her hands on her waist like a pregnant hen. “Come Maven you can do this”. She said to herself and brushed her hair behind her ears. She went on to check her mail for any information she could attend to before going to have her bathe. “Maven you will be late for work”. Lady Victoria came knocking on the door. Maven grumbled the words. “Come in”. Maven called out in a slow voice but Lady Victoria didn’t wait to hear that part before pushing the door open. “What are you doing Maven, you're gonna be late for work and you know full well that Grandma doesn’t quite like it when you go late’. “Grandma knows how hard I work now so she doesn’t mind if I come late or stay at home”. Mav

A MEETING“I decided to be here”. Maven responded the waiter arrived with a glass of wine for her.“You can have your drink,” Thomas told her. She quickly grabbed her drink and sipped a bit from it. “So what else are you hiding from me?” Maven asked with a glare in her eyes.“Well, I did all that because I wanted to know more about you and about your family. I was never rich though”. He responded truthfully.“That’s not true. Who is the old woman you said you needed money to save?” Maven asked him with a quizzical look in her eyes.“My grandma, Ma Elizabeth is a great woman, I grew up with her, she groomed me into the man I am today and then I got to meet my grandpa nay a few months ago. I never knew I had so much wealth waiting for me until they showed up at the police station where I was locked and detained unlawfully.” Thomas answered her. He grabbed the remaining drink on the table and took it slowly to his mouth.“So, how do you feel being at the top of your game?” Thomas asked

NEVER SHOW UP HEREMaven got up quickly to get the door. She tilted her head and moved with her fingers swaying from left to right. She had a brisk smile on her face as she longed to open the door for Thomas. The moment she turned the door knob and came face to face with Sabastian her face turned a dark mode.“What the heck!” the comment burst out loud from her mouth and she squinted her eyes to watch him.“I brought you flowers”. He said to her, handing the flowers over. Maven looked down at the flower with disgust in her eyes and the expression on her face could tell she was irritated seeing him standing right there with that foolish flower bouquet in his hand.“Why are you here?How did you find out I am here?’ she questioned him rudely with her eyes howling at him.Sabastian had a smile on his face, he licked his lip quickly. Well, I was told you are here. I was at your place earlier. So I thought to stop by and give you this then say hello to Grandma Clara.“Well Ma Clara is not

FINALLY“Patrick I need you to take your son, he has done nothing but disrespect me every single time”. Grandma spoke the words with anger hanging on her tone.Patrick cleared his throat before letting the words out to grandma “ have done all I can to take him. Perhaps you could help me talk to him just as you groomed him into the man he is”. Thomas said the word with fear and terror in his tone but he had to say it anyway. Grandma is fond of ruining things and blaming it on other people and since this time it's inescapable Patrick did the right thing by calling her out.Grandma eye balled the gun for a while before continuing to chew her chicken.“That's it. I won't have any of this nonsense anymore”. She spoke in a subtle but pissed tone that made Patrick panic a bit in his seat but he definitely knows that his mother can not ask him out of the house because he is her first child.“I can't do much about it mom”. Patrick spoke.a“Perhaps I shall speak to my father to have dinner at o
