Miriam paused. She stood in front of her cousin's door, but somehow, she couldn't get herself to ring the bell.She contemplated knocking instead, but she hesitated. She couldn't believe she was about to go through with the plan.It was a plan she had come up with, but if she had been told a week ago that she would be standing in front of Antonia's door and about to test her fiance, she wouldn't believe it.The plan was simple. She would go to her cousin's house, hide, and then Antonia would invite Jude over.When he got there, Antonia would look for a way to make him reveal a bit of his plans to her, and she was convinced he would because he was already opening up bit by bit to her.Miriam couldn't believe that. Not only did Jude not really love her, but he was willing to disrespect her by having a thing with her cousin.A part of her wished everything they had planned out would go accordingly, but a tiny part of her still wished it would all be a lie, but in her mind, she

It was a cool evening. Vanessa definitely did not like Jude, but she couldn't deny that his choice of hang out spots were always top-notch.She had gotten off work about thirty minutes ago, and Jude had asked her to meet him up.The place they had met up was a serene environment perfect for an evening hangout.The park was quiet and peaceful and had a beautiful view. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty to admire.She and Jude were sitted on a grassy field with a few scattered trees and some flowers blooming.The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm, orange glow over the landscape. The air was still and calm, with only a light breeze blowing gently through the trees.In the distance, Vanessa could hear the gentle sound of a stream trickling softly, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.As Vanessa sipped on her cold drink and munched on the snack that Jude had gotten them, she couldn't help but picture a picture coming back to this park with someone she truly loved

"Here's the plan. Vanessa, you'll tell Jude you'd send the money via check and you'll be really busy, so, you won't be able to give it to him personally, you'll tell him you'll send someone you trust to give it to him. Miriam, you'll meet up with him. Both of you will discuss, and then, I think you should show him the recording between him and Antonia. It doesn't matter how much he begs or tries to deny it. You'll end things with him and let him know he won't be getting a cent from you. Are you okay with that? Do you think you can go through it?" Armand asked."Well, I guess so," Miriam answered."We need you to be certain. We know it won't be easy, but if you feel you will not be able to go through with it, or you'll be too uncomfortable, we can come up with another plan" Vanessa said."I can do it," Miriam affirmed."Alright then, that's settled," Armand said."So, who would I be sending to deliver the check to him?" Vanessa asked."You will not be sending anyone. You'll give

Awkward silence. That was what filled the office when Vanessa and Armand returned. It was clear they both had so much to say and questions to ask, but who would say something first?The silence lingered longer than it should, creating a palpable sense of discomfort and tension between both of them.Despite being in such close proximity, they avoided making eye contact .They were both searching for something to say but struggled to come up with anything, leading to further silence.The absence of conversation was particularly noticeable because of the previously lively discussions they were having before Miriam left .The silence seemed to stretch on endlessly, making Vanessa and Armand feel awkward and uneasy.Overall, the silence felt like an eternity, and Armand decided to break it."So, how's it going with the UKL project? I haven't heard any updates recently, " Armand asked."Sorry?" Vanessa responded"The UKL project," Armand repeated."Yes, about that, we've been m

"How was your day?" Miriam asked."It was okay. I've been working on different business ideas and seeing which would work best in different geographical locations, " Jude said."What a lying bastard," Miriam was tempted to say. However, she didn't."That's good. I'm so proud of you. You just got laid off, and you're already working on something new. You're such a hard worker, " Miriam replied."Thank you. I am working hard, so I can be the type of man you deserve, " Jude responded.Miriam didn't respond to that. She simply smiled. She proceeded to tell him how her day went, but soon, it was clear Jude was getting anxious and bored.Miriam was surprised she didn't notice how he easily got bored when he was with her. How could she have missed it? He wasn't even trying to hide it.He kept looking away and avoiding eye contact. He was fidgeting and shifting in his seat.Whenever he felt she was talking for too long, he kept interrupting or finishing her sentences in an attempt to

"I can explain!It's not what it seems like. I know I went to her place without telling you, but trust me, there's an explanation for that," Jude said.Vanessa ended the recording, which was playing, crossed her legs, and focused her attention completely on Jude. From her facial expression, it was clear she didn't believe him."Jude, I never said it was you and the recording has not even gone half way, what exactly isn't what it seems and why're you trying to explain when I haven't asked for an explanation?" Vanessa asked."Baby, please. We both know that's my voice, and that's Antonia's voice. I can't believe she was recording us!" Jude screamed."Why do you seem so bothered by the fact that she was recording the conversation? Did you say something you don't want me to know?" Vanessa asked."Of course not. Whatever I said at her place that day, I can always say it to your face. Vanessa, please tell me, what exactly did she tell you and how much of our conversation from that day

Miriam stumbled out of the dimly lit bar, her face contorted with anguish. Tear-stained trails streaked her cheeks, mingling with the remnants of once-flawless makeup. Her chest heaved with every breath as she fought to contain the sobs that threatened to escape her trembling lips. With disheveled hair cascading around her face, she appeared as a tragic figure caught in the midst of a personal storm. Her eyes, usually vibrant and full of life, now held a profound sadness within them. They glistened with unshed tears, reflecting the pain that consumed her soul. The weight of heartbreak bore down on her shoulders, causing her once-confident posture to slump in defeat. Each step she took seemed to carry the burden of shattered dreams and lost love. Her attire, once meticulously chosen, now looked haphazard and disarrayed. The elegant dress that once accentuated her curves now clung to her form as if it mirrored her vulnerability. Her high heel clicked against the pavement, echoing t

"My 3 o'clock appointment? Miriam, what're you talking about?" Jude asked."You heard me clearly. You can get the money to offset your debt from your 3 o'clock appointment. You were in such a hurry to meet up with this person, I'm sure the person can be of assistance to you" Miriam answered."Miriam, you've gotten it all wrong. The person I'm supposed to meet with isn't personal, it's work related" Jude said"Just stop, please. You made it clear that work isn't your thing, so, why the lie?" Miriam asked.Jude paused, he knew he wouldn't easily get out of this one, even if Miriam broke up with him, there was no way he would allow her to take the money with her.He stood nervously, his body language reflecting a mix of anxiety and desperation. His eyes dart around, searching for the right words, while his hands fidget, betraying his inner turmoil."I'm seeing a relative of mine. She's someone related to my mum and she agreed to help my parents. I'm supposed to meet with her an

"Vincent Askellan?" Armand yelled.They were sitting inside Armand's car in the parking lot at D'premium branch.Aaron had arrived at work earlier than normal and he had called Vanessa and Armand to fill them in as usual."I can't believe it! Vanessa exclaimed."It all makes sense now." Armand mused. His eyes widened, pupils dilating as the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place. His brows furrowed, and a slow, subtle grin tugged at the corners of his lips. It was the expression of revelation, a mix of surprise and understanding, etched across his face like the first light of dawn breaking through the darkness."You know what? Things just got better." Armand said after a while."Everything ends today." Vanessa said."Everything ends today." Armand repeated in a lower tone."Here," Vanessa said, handing over the bag which contained the remaining two wristwatches to Aaron. "Take it to them and let them lead you to Vincent, text us the address immediately you can, okay?"

"Aaron, that suggestion of yours in the meeting was brilliant," Alan commended when they got to where Aaron, Kelly and Sam were standing.Sam concurred by nodding appreciatively and Winner chimed in with praises for Aaron.Alan then said, "Well, I must say, our suggestions were good too. Mr Black just needs to think outside of the box to see it," a hint of mischief in his eyes.Ben was able to stifle his laugh when he heard that statement, Kelly on the other hand couldn't help the smirk that formed on her face. Curiosity flickered in Alan's gaze as he turned to Kelly. "Got something to add?" he inquired. Kelly, however, simply brushed off the question, choosing to ignore him.Sensing a hint of tension, Ben interjected with a diplomatic suggestion. "How about we all put our creative minds together over lunch? We can continue brainstorming in a more relaxed setting.""Great idea." Kelly said, walking away with the others behind her.…When they entered the cafeteria, Kelly opte

Aaron strolled into the company. He was just about to enter his work area when he was stopped by Mr Black."Good morning Sir." Aaron said. However, he got no response."I completed Janet's task yesterday. You can go and confirm if you'd like. Also, I know the incident yesterday must have painted me in a bad light, but I want to assure you, that is not who I am. It was an accident, I am not clumsy and what happened yesterday will never repeat itself again."Mr Black just kept on staring at him, so he asked "Can I go now?" He didn't feel comfortable under the manager's intense scrutinizing gaze."Aaron, what are you really doing here?" Mr Black finally asked."I beg your pardon?" Aaron replied."I said, what are you really doing here?" The manager asked again.Aaron's palms grew clammy as his manager's piercing gaze bore into him. The air seemed to thicken as he fumbled for words, anxiety tightening his throat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, betraying the composed facade

Aaron was tired. He never knew packaging wristwatches could be that stressful.Aaron's eyes, which had been vibrant and full of life just that morning, now held the heavy burden of exhaustion. Deep, dark circles etched beneath them, telling a tale of his need to sleep and his restlessness. Shoulders slouched, as if carrying the weight of the world, Aaron moved with a sluggish rhythm, each step echoing the struggle against the invisible forces pulling him down.He was thirsty and decided to get water. And coffee as well, to help him stay awake for the remaining one hour before his closing time for the day.He had gotten his drinks and was on his way back when the least thing he was expecting happened.His mind was consumed by the need to finish his packaging before closing hours, he rounded a corner only to collide with a lady adorned with vibrant red hair who had been walking too fast. The collision unfolded in an unfortunate symphony of mishap. The contents in Aaron's hands,

Aaron and Gloz walked silently behind the officer. Aaron was calm because he knew who the visitor was. On the other hand, Gloz felt confused. Who would want to visit him here? It could not be his siblings, could it? He asked internally, but quickly dismissed that thought. He didn't want to get his hopes high.Just as they arrived at the door of the visitor's room, the officer who was leading them, Officer Daniels gestured for Aaron and Gloz to go in. The heavy metallic clang of the cell door echoed behind them as they entered the small room. Gloz's eyes darted nervously, taking in the cold atmosphere."Alright, Gloz, you've got 15 minutes with your visitor. Make it count," Officer Daniels said, his tone gruff but not unkind. He shot a stern glance at Gloz, who stood by, a silent spectator to the scene.Aaron nodded with gratitude in his eyes. Gloz shifted uncomfortably, aware of the limited time allowed for this interaction with his yet to be seen visitor."Remember, Gloz, Keep it

"But how do we connect it to him?" Mrs. Armstrong asked."I don't know yet, but we'll figure it out." Armand answered."What about the press?" Vanessa inquired."The press?" Armand asked."Yes," she began tentatively, "how do you plan to deal with the press?"Armand looked up, his gaze meeting Vanessa's concerned eyes. Taking a deep breath, he leaned forward and clasped his hands together. "Vanessa, I've been careful about who knows the truth. As of now, only my mother, the attending doctors, the police and I are aware that my father has been shot.""You've notified the police?" Vanessa asked."Yes, I did that not long after we got here." Armand answered.Vanessa nodded, still anxious. "But what if someone from the hospital talks? These situations have a way of leaking, Armand."Armand's voice grew more confident. "I've spoken with the doctors and the hospital staff. They're bound by strict confidentiality. They won't disclose anything to anybody, especially not to the press.

Mrs. Armstrong stepped gracefully into the living room dressed in a floor length navy blue evening dress with delicate lace embroidery exuded a refined charm. The off-shoulder neckline added a touch of sophistication, while the subtle train trailed behind her, leaving a trail of whispered admiration in her wake. Completing the ensemble, she wore a pair of diamond drop earrings that caught the light with every step, enhancing her regal appearance.Beside her stood Mr. Armstrong. He wore a tailored black tuxedo that fit him like a glove. A white dress shirt with a black bowtie provided a striking contrast, while his patent leather shoes gleamed beneath the dance floor's shimmering lights. The glint of his cufflinks matched the twinkle in his eyes.Armand chose a modern yet timeless look, donning a charcoal gray three piece suit that showcased elegance. The suit jacket, slightly tailored, complemented his build, while the crisp white dress shirt underneath emphasized his attention to d

Armand raised his head and followed Vanessa's gaze to the gate of the beach house. A swarm of reporters had gathered, each one armed with cameras and microphones, jostling for position to capture the unfolding scene. They were like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their prey.Vanessa turned to Armand, her expression a mix of frustration and exasperation. "Can you believe this? We can't even get a moment of peace here!"Armand sighed and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "I see them. We'll have to deal with it somehow."Vanessa urged Armand to just drive in and ignore the reporters, but he shook his head. "If I do that, they might press themselves into the car, and someone could get hurt."A determined look crossed Armand's face as he made up his mind. "I'll grant them an interview. That might satisfy their curiosity and get them to back off."As they approached the gate, Armand rolled down the window, and a cacophony of questions and camera clicks greeted them. He plas

"I'm fine." King replied, grinning widely.He stood in front of the car, his body swaying slightly from side to side as if caught in an invisible breeze. His shoulders twitched with energy. His legs shifted back and forth, as if his excitement couldn't be contained within his frame. King's facial expressions danced between euphoria and bewilderment, his eyebrows arching up and down rapidly. "Are you sure about that?" Armand asked, looking skeptical."One hundred percent,"King answered."What's with the outfit?" Vanessa inquired, looking at King from his head to his toe.King was dressed in a meticulously tailored suit that exuded an air of sophistication. It was a deep shade of charcoal gray. His shoes were obviously crafted from one of the finest leather, and was a testament to his attention to detail."I went to the company where I had gone for an interview last week." King said."What did they say? Did you get the job?" Armand asked."I did!" King exclaimed."Congra
