CHAPTER 83SEEING DAD FOR THE FIRST TIMEThe loud alarm from the clock beside Thomas’s bed blared in his ears that he jumped to his feet beads of sweat formed on his skin as he sat on the bed. He puffed out air and grabbed the alarm clock with his large hands then he turned off the alarm and tossed it to one side of the bed. He pulled the comforter over his head and laid back in bed.Suddenly remembering he has where to be at the moment, he jumped out of his bed with full force.“F**k! Shit! He exclaimed as he rushed into the bathroom to wash his mouth. There was no need and no time to get a shower so he grabbed his Pants sliding his legs into it and then he grabbed his shirt. He rushed out of the house as he tried to weave the shirt over his head. “Good morning Lady Victoria”. Thomas greeted as he rushed out from the living room. She was shocked to see him hurrying and so she looked at him with blank eyes and all that could come out of her mouth was the meal she would be having for

NO WOUNDSThomas managed to stagger home after the fight with the men. He has always known that someone would come for the medal and the herb so he never bothered to take them to Maven’s house since he knows there would be no privacy. Maven is a very inquisitive soul and if she gets to find out anything like that in his possession she would want to know why and what Thomas was up to. He had sustained an injury from the fight and at the moment he cannot heal himself. He paused on his tracks and spit the blood out of his mouth. The trance he had with his father had made him weak in spirit momentarily and if care is not taken it might last for the next couple of days.“What was his mission? To kill me?” Thomas spoke to himself as he gathered the last energy to find his way home. The moment he got to the front door he pushed it open and went in. Lady Victoria jumped from her seat when she saw how battered he was.“What happened to you?’ she asked with a sneaky laughter behind each word a

IT'S YOUR FAULTMeanwhile at the Taylor's office there is a huge chaos between the two brothers and their son. David was busy in his new office when grandma's call came directly to him. Since he was now occupying Maven's office it was easy for her to call him directly and lay any complaint concerning what she doesn't like. With a frown on her face she picked up the telephone and cleared her throat before speaking in. a husky tone.“David, what is this that I heard about the investors wanting to end their contract with the company.This is barely four months since you emerged as the head of operations and everything is dying in your hand. I do not understand what kind of business you are running alongside your father”. Grana spoke with pent anger. Her tone was the friendly one she had always used for her sweet David. He suddenly began to tremble and sweat in hand. By the time grandma was done scolding chin on the phone he took a deep breath and put the receiver down. “How the hell did

THE AGREEMENT Three men looked at themselves and sluggishly walked out of Grandma Clara’s house after all she had finished bashing them for all their mistakes. “I have no idea how we are going to convince Maven to come back to the company”. Patrick said. “We? You should say I. You gotta do it alone. David and I are not going to follow you to Maven’s house. I have got some shame bro, after all that we did to that lady, she could get us all arrested. I will stay back and tell the story while you and your son try out if it’s going to work”. Derrick is always known for his cowardice. “You have always been a coward and I know you would run away when it gets really tough but not to worry Maven is a soft and gullible lady I can easily sweet talk her into returning to the company in a few hours.” “Well, good luck with that”. Derrick answered. And began to walk away, they all entered the car and Patrick drove off to Maven’s place. “What have you brought me here for? I never asked

SEE YOU AT HOMEMaven marched into the T and T building with her chest and shoulders raised. She knows that her arrival would raise a lot of speculations and funny talks from the workers and society at large but she never really gives a damn about what they had to say. She shook her head letting her long sleek hair fly in the air as she walked through the main door. She climbed to the elevator and headed straight to her office the moment she got off the elevator.“Good morning Ma'am. Welcome Ma'am” were raw words flying around the entire hall. The staff that saw her greeted with joy while the others who heard the news of her resumption couldn't help but ahre their excitement amongst themselves. “You are welcome back Ma'am. I have missed you”. Grace spoke with excitement in her tone. She has had to assist David when Maven was away. She had almost dropped her resignation a few days ago when she heard the rumors about Maven's return so she kept her decision to herself for a few more r
