It was a mild evening as Sonia was seated on the balcony, sipping her wine served by the butler and enjoying the cool breeze of the evening. As she stared at the trees in the quiet street, she was jolted back to awareness by the roaring engine of a car entering into the driveway. It was a familiar car, one she recognized instantly.Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Elvis stepping out, but what really took her by surprise was the person that followed him. Natasha.Sonia's eyes were bolded in shock as she watched Natasha gracefully exit the car, her hand fully grasped and interlocked with Elvis'. Natasha looked up and caught Sonia's gaze in that moment and for some seconds, their eyes locked. Sonia's mind raced with questions, confusion, and a hint of unease.She had not been in touch with Natasha in years, not since that fateful night when their friendship had broken beyond control. Sonia had always wondered what had become of her best friend, but she never expected to see her again
Dennis flopped on the seat pulling it towards his desk, he was engrossed in the hill of files which spread out before him. The soft amber from the lamp sitting on the desk lightened the almost dark room, casting a warm light over the papers as he raised them glancing through the information on them. Lost in concentration, he did not notice when his guard, James, walked into the room."I'm sorry Sir, Smith is at the gate," James said loudly announcing his presence, his voice interrupting Dennis who was completely focused on his work.Dennis raised his head slowly from the files, his brow furrowing with anger from the interruption"Smith? Let him come in," he ordered, suspicious about the unexpected visit.James nodded and swiftly left the room to get Smith as Dennis adjusted his tie and fixed his posture arranging the files as he waited for Smith. Moments later, Smith walked into the room, his expression was confident yet suspicious."Dennis," Smith greeted, his tone business-like."Sm
Seated in his large serene office, Elvis behind the desk that issued commands upon commands He was engrossed in whatever signing he was doing when his secretary walked in, with some files in her arms, laid across her chest. But she had a worried look on her face. He looked up as he wanted to take the files when he noticed the look on her face.“Is anything the problem? He asked as he signed the last paper."Mr. Dennis just came in and he demanded to see you," She stated , her tone filled with fear as she spoke carefully.Elvis's eye brow furrowed at the unexpected news. Dennis, who was his longtime enemy and the man who had caused him so much pain, was now standing in his building. It was certainly a surprising turn of events."You mean Dennis is here?" Elvis asked , his voice sure yet filled with disbelief.Sarah nodded . "Yes, he's waiting outside."For a moment, Elvis was lost in thoughts , a mixture of emotions splashed across his face. Despite the terrible history between the
The room was filled with a deep sense of luxury and wealth appeal, the brown mahogany furniture bringing out the beauty of the room as it complemented with the rays of sunlight from the sun set, giving the room a nice aesthetic look.Holding onto his jacket, Natasha was marveled by what Elvis had just told her upon his return. Elivis stood next to the window as he took off his tie tossing it on the bed,Her face was still in deep realization,“He wants a partnership with you?” She asked again to be sure she heard him the last time.“You heard me right, he wants a partnership, which I find very suspicious.” He added taking a seat in the soft bed.“Was he in something when he said that?” Natasha asked, causing Elvis to burst into a delightful Chuckle.“Funny..” he said.“It's not funny Elvis, this could be a trap or something.” She added, placing the jacket on the bed as she sat next to him.Just outside, Sonia bypassed to get water downstairs where she hears them discussing,“You can't
As the night wore on every individual from this mind boggling scene withdrew to their separate contemplations, the charm of organization intermixing with the shadows of vulnerabilityIn this universe of velvet and mahogany, where partnerships were manufactured and mysteries stewed just underneath the surface, each look, each murmured word held the commitment of change. The night held its privileged insights close, however the players inside this furtive show were ready to uncover their hands, each move determined, every choice full of outcomeThe room, presently covered in haziness put something aside for the perishing coals of the fire, appeared to beat with expectation, anticipating the following section in this exquisite dance of devotion and disloyalty.As the night extended and the room sunk into a quieted feeling, Natasha and Elvis exchanged a last glance at each other, their purpose sustained by the heaviness of their discussion. The fire had dwindled to delicate, sparkling co
The morning sky opened with the sound of birds chirping in the background. The sun rays hit Sonia's eyes as she was deep asleep. As the sun's heat intensified, Sonia began to turn in discomfort and opened her eyes to the brand new day. She squinted her eyes using her palm to block the sun rays from hitting her eyes. Sonia yawned and stretched her body and jittered from the pleasure of stretching. She got up stretching her neck as she walked towards the window. Raising her feat to look down towards the garden she saw the butler outside. He seemed to be attending some guests. She yawned as she turned towards the bathroom taking off her robe.Sonia turned on the shower, stepping into the bathroom as the cold water hit her skin. She needed to see Dennis today. She thought about their plan and smiled knowing everything was falling into pleasant places.She scrubbed her skin slowly as she smiled randomly thinking about the benefits she'd get once the plan was over.She stepped out of the
Hours after they had discussed. Sonia got up to leave. “I will see you later and keep you posted,” Sonia said. “I will be waiting and expecting you,” Dennis said smiling. As Sonia stepped out of the cave, she met Smith coming out of a vehicle. He was dressed in black from head to toe, his shades were dark shielding the scars on his eyes. He had a burning cigarette in between his hands.He stared at Sonia who shivered within as she walked by him. He smiled a little, ignoring her as he walked into the cave.Sonia waited for him to come out, as soon as she saw Smith walk out she ran to him “What did you both discuss in there without me?” She asked, trying to be bold as she stood in front of Smith who towered over her. “Sonia, you must learn to mind your business. Stay in your lane and I want you to never ever pull this shit on me ever again!” Smith spoke aggressively and huffed as he pushed her away walking away from her.Sonia stood there in anger as she was infuriated.Sonia was a l
As Natasha watched Sonia March towards her room without saying a word she was shocked. That was so unlike Sonia. The Sonia she knew would have razed the roof down on her head. She smelt something fishy and she had the feeling Elvis was in great danger.She leaned on the sofa as her mind was racing with thoughts on how to help Elvis. She was aware Elvis was naive and always took things simple. She had to protect him since he could not sense the danger, she felt like a mother when trying to protect its chick from prey. She paced up and down the room in deep thoughts. Her thoughts were interrupted by the butler. “Madam, you seem worried, do I make something to relax your mind?” He asked. Natasha looked at him as she sighed “just get me water, water will be fine” she said. The butler bowed his head as he left to fulfill her request, he returned in a short while handing her the glass of water. “Here you go madam” he said softly. “Thank you so much” she replied as she emptied the contents
