JUST A LITTLE TEASEThomas knows why he has come back to show himself to the people that treated him badly. Nature has its own way of distributing nemesis to those who deserve them. Thomas has already made his list of those he deals with for messing with his life. At least all those new at the time have no idea who his foster grandparents are so he isn’t even afraid of anyone attacking them while he is not watching. For the records he knows Grandma Clara too well to be oblivious to her schemes. She had made her points clear from the beginning and she had demonstrated her hatred for him since the very day she met him not just by words but her actions too.Thomas smiled recalling how she had asked him to call her grandma, “the world is really crazy you know and the people in it are even crazier than we can think of”. He said the words the moment his room door opened and Lucas, his cousin, came inside.“How did the dinner go, big brother?” Lucas asked knowing Thomas had once complained o

THAT WILL NOT HAPPENAfter Maven asked him out of her office she took a deep breath. David and his father have not only caused her pain and misery but threatened her life the entire time. She thought about how to deal with him yet when she was done with all the evidence she had against him she decided to let go. What could be his pain point and the reason he could come boldly to her to give her such a treat? She stood by the desk drumming the tip of her fingers on it.“this is bullshit”. She said and went on to stand by the glass gallery to watch the bustling city. After she had taken her time to think through all that was happening she took a deep breath in and turned to her seat. If her father was alive just like David's father is for sure none of them would try to threaten her. She puffed air out of her and went on to do her work for the day. She thought about going to grandma's house to report David but of course she knows grandma too well that changes anything. It seems like sh

A WICKED PLAN David woke up very early on a Friday morning. He dashed out to the kitchen in his pajamas. “Good morning mom”. He greeted his mom who was just standing close to the kitchen door. “Good morning my dear boy. You are up a bit early today”. She said to him while sipping on her cream less coffee. “I have a few errands to run mom. What’s up for breakfast?’ He asked his mother as he brushed past her to meet the Chef who was busy making the morning meal. “Omelets and what?” He asked the chef. “Good morning sir, It beacons and eggs, “The chef said without adding the other dish she was making. “Oh that's fine, I can have them”. Thomas said then opened the fridge to grab two apples and a bottle of water. “It’s almost ready, you should eat before leaving for work today”. His mother said. “Mom, you know I am not that breakfast kind of person. The fruit and water is enough for me to start with. I have to head to the gym”. He told her. “The gym? It's Friday David,

BROKEN The moment Maven heard the news her heart melted. What could be happening? She asked herself several times. She hadn’t done anything to anyone to deserve such kind of treatment. She swallowed hard. She tried so hard to hold back the tears threatening to fall down from her eyes. She held her breath and blinked. Grace came into the office to meet her. “Ma’am the site is on fire and I doubt anyone can survive it” Grace said from her own observation. “I don’t know whom I may have offended but this is too much for me to handle Grace. “ She said, wiping the tears from her eyes. This is not one of those heartbreak cases when she wouldn’t want her secretary to see her cry in a very vulnerable state. She aired her emotions and cried and what Grace could do at the moment was consoled her then canceled all the meetings she had for the day. “I have canceled all the meetings for the day Ma’am and I think you should go home, I could drive you if you want” Grace offered. “I would love to

I BELIEVE YOU MAVEN Maven went home looking pissed and pained. By the time she stopped by her house to find her car carefully and neatly parked at her garage she was happy. ‘Thank you Thomas”. She said to him as she looked over at the car. “For what?’ Thomas asked her. “For help. I couldn’t have done half of what you did for me today if I was left alone to do it” Maven said top him in a very sincere tone. This has always been a burden to her but now that she has him in her life a couple of things would be handled before she could catch them. “Take care”. She told him and got out of the car. Maven went to their car and examined it a bit before going into his house. “Hello mom”. “Hello Maven, are you back? What happened to the car?” She asked. “Failed brakes I guess”. “You guess, lady you didn’t even know what happened.” Lady Victoria said to her. “Yes mom, the brakes failed, Grace and I almost fell into a dish but thankfully we didn’t. Thomas came through for us”. Maven said
