She'd been coming her for more than a week now and still kept being thrown put by either the receptionist, the gateway or some rude girl who she knew was a modern l. She asked to see the owner but wasn't allowed she was sure if she could meet the woman and show her the designs she drew. She'd be impressed enough to give her a seamstress job at least. The horn from a car jolted her back to reality and she saw the blue car she saw three days ago horsing at her and she ran away from the gate to the flowers. The gate opened and tje driver drove into the compound. It was a guy with blonde hair and grey eyes, he looked so handsome with his well shaped chin and alluring lips. Hey! What are you staring at? Lisa was caught off guard Emm.. Im sorry sir Leave this place! We don't need paupers ruining our garden ok? He barked and Lisa stepped away from the flowers hurt from what he said. He was right after all she's q pauper. She made to leave when another car drove into the compound The gate
Wayne stood up abruptly from his seat. A thought dropped into his head as he was glanced through the huge glass window at his office.If Mathew Moore's name was found in his father's Business Diary, that means Mathew would know something about how the Project ended.Wayne pressed his hand on his chin, his brain racing wildly, mind trying to connect the dots.His study!Mathew Moore's study!He would surely find something there.The last time he saw it open was when Anna was sneaking in there at dawn. She had a suspicious aura about her, but then the issue with his grandfather occurred and he forgot all about it.Wayne pursed his lips hard. Why didn't he think of it since all these while?If Anna Moore had anything to hide, it was right in the study she would hide it.Wayne grabbed his jacket from the rack and strode off into the lift."It was almost closing time at the Kindergarten." Wayne mused as he got behind the wheels of his car.He had to go get his daughter, and then think of h
Wayne's heart slammed ferociously, as the wooden portrait came off completely to reveal a narrow passageway in the wall.What is this?He reached forward to discover a door in there, and pushing it open, it was unlocked.Wayne took one last glance at the portrait of his father and Mathew before stepping in.Whatever was in here, he had to find it out.The place was pitch dark and smelling musty, like an old store room. He had to switch on his flashlight in order to have a look around.He was right. Several old books were piled in one corner of the room covered in dust. A few artifacts by its side.Apart from that, the room was empty.The wall was an old grey, covered in scribbles of markers and signatures that Wayne found very odd.He heard a movement in one side of the room, flashing his light there, he caught sight of a rat running towards a small hole in the wall.There was nothing here.Wayne shook his head, glancing around again. He had a deep pit in his stomach that there was s
Aleena walked down the stairs, clad in a beautiful attire. One of the maids had brought Gary downstairs so she huffed, walking past him."Where are you going?" He scowled when he lifted his eyes to meet hers."None of your business." Aleena stopped to pick one of the mails at the table."You! Don't think you're going to go scot free with what you did to me! You're not going to blackmail me forever. Once I start walking you are doomed!" Gary gritted his teeth, clamping hard on the wheelchair.His face was so red with anger, but Aleena only chuckled back at him. " Do whatever you want." She hissed and walked out.On her way to the main door, she came across Seline. "Make sure you serve him that tea.""Yes ma'am."Aleena smirked and walked off. Over her dead body would he recover and start walking again.Anyways, she had a party to enjoy at the Consulate Hotels.."Ha, Mrs Moore. We heard you are here to represent your husband?" One of the woman asked Aleena as they went round greeting ea
Cayenne came away from the call with a small blush on her cheeks."Wayne was just asking if Elsa was here.""What?" Loretta was stunned. "Why would he call you and not me?" Her sister shrugged and walked up to the fridge to take out a bottle of water.Loretta fidgeted on her seat. Is there a way she could ask her sister for help? "Uhm, Cayenne?""Yeah?""Could you give me a relationship advice, you know I've been-""What?" She laughed. "No! Yu should be the one advising me here, Loretta. I'm your younger sister, remember?"Cayenne took in a swig of the water. "Besides, I've never been with anyone before.""Ohh." Loretta nodded, feeling a little shamed. Why would she think of asking her sister for advice in the first place?Cayenne gave her a serious face. "But just in case you need it. Don't let your pride take a good man away from you, Loretta. You don't know the value of something until you lose it."Loretta nodded slowly. "Well, that's deep. Coming from someone that's never been in
“I’m sorry I have no idea what you’re talking about.”“You have an idea, you freak!” Alice grabbed his collar. “You are the cause of everything that’s happened to me and my family, you fraudster!”He held her hands, “I’m beginning to feel embarrassed, Miss, Let go of me!” His thick voice resounded.Alice flinched visibly and everywhere around them became silent.“I said, let go of me!” He repeated icily.A shiver ran down her spine as she stared through the sunglasses into his eyes, leaving goosebumps in their wake.Her fingers subconsciously grabbed his collar harder.“No, you’re gonna pay for all what you did,” She insisted. “You absconded with my parent’s money only to return and flaunt it around. Everyone needs to know what cheat and fraudster you are!” Alice screamed.“What?” He gritted so angrily that she felt the waves of anger through his collar, but she didn’t care, he needs to suffer pain and humiliation.Alice turned to face the crowd. “Someone call the police! This man is
Red Mond pack was surrounded by several mountains and forest. The largest one, Mountain Sevete, was down the hill just before us.I braced my mind to come in contact with those cursed soldiers of the Alpha again.They even more heartless than he was, making sure to carry out his horrible orders off the top.It was taking all the self control.i had not to cut their heads off!"We have to be extra careful this time, Lilah. Even though I'm following you. I have a bad feeling about this." Lucas have me an icy look as we made our way down the road."I'll re inforce our mask this time." She replied with a smug look. "In case the worst happened, we would draw from our inchambers." Lilah said gravely.Getting to the last quarter of the road, I suddenly had a wave of emotions overwhelm her.What if she doesn't do well? What it she gets caught?They should alked along the side of the road, beside the forest.All of a sudden, Lucas dragged her into the forest with him."Someone is coming along t
ylvie gave her mother a reassuring smile. "Mom? I'm gonna be okay. I'm no longer a little girl" She drawled.Her mother's eyes were still a bit pensive. "Are you sure you're going to be fine?""I'm now married, Duh" Sylvie laughed, waving her ring in front of her mom's face."I know silly.. I'm gonna miss you" Mona pinched her daughter's cheeks and turned to the man standing behind her."Take care of her, son" Mona patted him before making her way to the car."He sure will" Sylvie smiled."It's your honeymoon. You guys have lots of fun" Mona called out before pulling out of the driveway..Sylvie rolled her eyes at how overprotective her mom was being over her. She was 24 yrs old, for goodness sake!"Did you get a wedding gift for me?" Sylvie asked her husband. "Sure.. It's night already, lets go get settled. Our luggage has been taken in" Conan smiled down at her.Sylvie blushed as she stepped into the gates of the Stangos Estate- one of the most beautiful residence in this local to
Memories of all that happened today flashed back to Alice's head.She passed the 1st round of the Oriental Catering Contest and on her way home, she bumped into that man that gave her wild goose-bumps.Nathan Reyes.Astonishingly handsome and charismatic -only when he didn't open his mouth. One of the dancers said he was a well-known business man.Alice sat up.How come she's never heard of him?She head to her table and turned on her monitor, typing his name on the browser. His pictures popped up at once.Scrolling through, she found out that not only was Nathan stinking rich, he was the grandson of a past Governor of Haiui- Greg Reyes, his father- Martin Reyes, was the President of the prominent food packaging company- Cheese&LiT Co and his mother, Lina Reyes was the best surgeon in the state.Charismatic family.There was no mention of a sibling of Nathan’s- that meant she had upset the heir to the Reyes Legacy.Even if Alice hadn’t heard of the Reyes family, she knew Cheese&LiT a
presence. “You have no right to do that! I made a simple mistake and I apologized, what else do you want?”“I do not need anything from a spoilt idiotic brat like you.” He fired back at her.Alice was red in the neck. “Who the hell do you think you are to call me an idiot? The governor's son? Even the President's son has more good manners than you do!”Nathan frowned. “You don't seem to know who I am.”“And who the fuck are you?” She shook her fists at him. “I've never heard of your name here in Haiui, aren't you just a spoilt brat that returned from abroad and got handed all the family properties on a platter of gold?”His gaze darkened, but his voice was still non chalant. “Why do I feel like you're one of those stalker ladies that have been dying to grace my bed?”“Yuck!” Alice grimaced in disgust. “I'd rather eat poop than waste my time with a man as arrogant and condescending as you are!”That statement clearly hit Nathan’s nerve cause he stood up abruptly, veins popping out on h

Wayne barged into the house with Mark right behind him, both of them panting heavily. "Where the hell is Mathew?" Wayne grabbed the bodyguard's collar.The guard's face was riddled with shock and confusion. "He should still be in the house, I never allowed him to leave!""What?" Wayne faced Mark in shock. What if that video had been wrong? But he had a feeling deep in his mind that he wasn't wrong.They all rushed towards the stairs, making their way straight to Mathew's room."Mathew? Are you in?" Mark hurriedly banged the door.Wayne paused to check the lock. It had been locked from outside. Signalling no one was in."No. No. No. Shit!" He swore in anger.If his mind was working perfectly, Wallock has Mathew in custody and was probably waiting for the right time to threaten him.Mark managed to break the door open, rushing in to check everywhere.No Mathew.Wayne caught a letter on the bed. It was from Mathew himself."Dear son, I'm sorry to relay this to you this way. Not especial
When Alice returned to the restaurant, customers were already teeming in, most of them asking for her mother, she managed to give them the best reply she could and after instructing the Juliet and Marie on what to do, she left for work.She prayed the Principal won't be around like yesterday, she was 2 hours late already and she wasn't in the mood to receive any tongue lashing this morning.As it happened, Mrs Sanders was right at the gate when she arrived, she beckoned Alice to her office with a stiff face.“Miss Ruiz, what time is it by your watch right now?”“I'm sorry I'm late again, my mum-”“What the hell does your watch say?” Mrs Sanders asked again, a little louder this time.“10 o’ clock.” Alice gritted.“When are you supposed to resume?” “8 o clock.”“Seriously, do you expect the parents to wait for you to resume before dropping their kids? Is this what I pay you for?”Alice kept mute.“Miss Ruiz, I'm talking to you, aren't I?”Alice sighed, she was still shaken from the or
His words sent shivers down Alice's spine, but she was determined not to show fear in his presence. “You have no right to do that! I made a simple mistake and I apologized, what else do you want?”“I do not need anything from a spoilt idiotic brat like you.” He fired back at her.Alice was red in the neck. “Who the hell do you think you are to call me an idiot?

Alice kneaded the dough thoroughly, adding some butter and re-kneading.Her fingers felt stiff but she continued anyway, they’d run out of supplies for the evening sales so she had to.The thought of abandoning everything flashed through her mind, but the fact that her mum was still lying in a hospital made her continue working vigorously.The heat from the oven sizzled her skin and made her realize that the oven was ready, as she began piling the dough in, Juliet came in.Alice looked up at her. “How’s it going over there?”“Fine.” Juliet sighed, looking her from up to down. “You can go have some rest, Miss. I’ll look after the oven.”“No, Thanks. Julie. I have to make sure everything comes out well.”“You look like you could pass out any minute from now, you’ve been working since morning, please-”“I have to work. My Mum is in the hospital.”Juliet went to put on an apron. “That’s more reason why you should have some rest. Come on, we don’t have much customers at this time, you can
The next morning while she was cleaning hastily so she doesn't have to be late for work again, Juliet suddenly rushed out of her mother's office.“Miss Alice.” She panicked. “Your mum, she fell and-”“What?” A lump formed in Alice's throat, with her heart thumping she dropped the mop and rushed to the office. Her mother was lying on the floor, seemingly lifeless.Cold fear came over her.“Mum?” Alice shook her with trembling hands. “Can you hear me? Mum?” She checked her pulse and thankfully, Mum was still breathing. “Go prepare a cab for the hospital while I bring her out.” She instructed Julie.Julie nodded and left.“Mum? Can you hear me?” Alice asked again.She burst into tears when her mother's lashes fluttered a little.Her mother was still alive!As she carried her mother over her back, she discovered in shock how much weight her mother had lost. Alice cried harder when she realized that her mum might really be sick and hiding it from her.She couldn't afford to lose her Mum.
“It's fine dear, nature has a way of gifting us something else for whatever we lose.” Mum patted her hair fondly.Alice wiped her tears to stare at her mother’s face, “You aren't surprised, why?”“I kind of figured it out when you returned home early and looking downcast yesterday.”“Mum.” The tears flowed harder. “I'm sorry for letting you down.”“You didn't let me down, love. Audition or no audition, win or lose, you’re still my precious daughter that I cherish so much.”Alice kept sobbing until she began to feel sleepy, she pulled her Mum into an embrace and whispered. “I love you, Mum and I would do anything to make you happy.”As she went to bed that night, she made a decision to never give up, no matter what came her way.The next day, Alice woke up late and ended up getting to work late, but she was relieved to find out that the Principal was not yet in school.She went about her normal activities of taking care of other people's children, feeding them, cleaning their poop, hel
