Venessa waves her hands as Maya walks into the restaurant. She walked to where Venessa sat. “I thought youʼd never call,” Venessa said as Maya took a seat. “Well I'm here now, I've been busy with our customers' orders outside the state.” Maya says in a collected tune. Venessa smiles carefully while nodding to what Maya said, She behaved like Mrs Howard.They placed their various orders as they discussed over their lunch. “I learnt you had a case in court, How was your hearing?” Venessa began. “Well it wasnʼt what I expected but then,sometimes we lose and other times we win.” Maya said, looking at Vanessa. “Right?” She asked. “I totally agree, I mean thatʼs how we learn.”Venessa nods.Maya was yet to understand the lady who sat in front of her. she sounded vengeful. “I'll tell you a little secret that made my success story” she continued as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. “After I graduated from fashion school, I lost my parents. My teacher, Mrs Howard, set up a shop for me and

Maya couldnʼt bear the curiosity, Her heart raced as the face of her stalker remained hidden. She falls to the ground in a blackout.Maya slowly opens her eyes to see herself in bed. She rubbed her eyes as if to wipe the numbness she felt. She looks around to see herself in her bedroom at her momʼs apartment.She cursed under her breath as she tried to come to sit up. As if the events of the previous flashed through her head. She quickly gets off the bed as she runs out of her room.“Hey Maya, I was about to serve you a hangover soup,” Laura said, stirring the pot.“How did I get home?” She asked worriedly as her face curved in a frown.“A good gentleman brought you home, seeing you were pretty wasted.” Laura said.Maya couldnʼt recall anything, she held her head slightly as she slumped into a seat.She needed to see a Doctor else she might run mad, pretending she was fine. Maya walked into the hospital and sat at the reception after meeting with a nurse to check her appointment. She t

Quietus is a call to mortem, a call that severs our breath from our being and ushers us into a quiet sleep. We're all guilty of this sin! Calling and reciting the chronicles of quietus to put us out of our miseries. Maya sat by her desk staring at the documents, she wasnʼt thinking straight her thoughts drifted to Mrs Howard. She had not seen the old lady since she lodged a complaint at the station, for some reasons she feared her quietness and feared the nights even more. For two weeks she stayed at a hotel where she only picked her clothingʼs during the day. She couldnʼt tell when the lady would attack her cause she knew she was always watching. How could she explain these to someone and not be tagged mad?! Tania paid Maya a visit after her long solidarity. The duo had a lot to catch up on. “Maya honey, youʼve been through hell.” Tania said. “Do you sleep at all?” She asked Maya. “I donʼt think I get enough rest.” Maya said forcing herself to concentrate.What do you think ab

Jessica wore a sleeveless beach dress and a hat with shades holding her box. Damian joined her, he acted like a saint to her one would never know his true intentions.“Babe I forgot to pick our tickets from the table, could you wait by the car and I'll join you soon.” Damian asked, staring at Jessica.“Yeah,” Jessica says as she folds her hands across her chest watching him run back into the hotel. She rolled her eyes as she imagined him having sex with some other lady. She watched her wrist watch closely as if timing him.Damian arrived twenty eight minutes later, swinging the tickets in the air smiling.“I found them.” He said to Jessica, who takes her time to observe him, She nods debunking her suspicions.“Damian is such a dimwit, he couldnʼt even notice she had become cold since after their wedding reception, or maybe he didnʼt care!” She battled with her thoughts.They drove along the road through to the airport, Damian held her close to him as some other passengers admired Jess

Maya stirred the coffee taking the paper she got that morning, she stared at it and squinted being unable to see anything. She sipped her coffee as if they were antidotes for her eyes and took a look at the paper again and everything became clear, though slowly but it did eventually.She smiled at the paper as she couldnʼt help it. Maya put the paper aside sipping her coffee happily. She had a gold mine in her closet and was going to dig right into it.She had successfully untangled herself from Mrs Howard although her instincts told her sheʼd be back if she let her guard down.Venessa on the other hand, wasnʼt interested in playing. All Maya needed to do was figure a place to move her stuff, get a new place and get back to business. Meghann the thoughts came easy! But she had beads of sweat anytime she tried drafting a working plan.Maya searched some loan apps and applied for some because she really needed money, she had successfully paid off the penalties from the court.Maya appl
