Although Vincent didn't want to admit it, the words of Mr Khalid made him realize something he never considered before. His mother's feelings. He never thought back to the point of wondering how his father's exposure and arrest would affect his mother and he never truly noticed what his mother has been going through.After Mr Khalid dropped Vincent off and left, Vincent went straight to his mother who was standing outside the mansion and staring at the little rose garden in front of her while lost in thought.Veronica didn't even notice her son return home until he touched her shoulder.Veronica flinched and almost jumped back. She grasped her chest and sighed in relief, "oh... It's just you..." she said sounding very tired."How come you are back so early? How is work?" Veronica asked Vincent who just stared into her eyes in response."Vincent, what happened?" Veronica asked."Mom, how are you?" Vincent asked her."What are you saying? I'm fine. You're acting weird. I should be the o
"Mr Khalid?" Veronica questioned, not quite sure if it was Ferdinand's father waving at her from inside his car."Yes. It's me. Idris Khalid. The father of your son's friend." Mr Khalid answered. It was almost as if he had been waiting for her to return and never left in the first place after dropping off Vincent."Can I speak with you for a moment?" Mr Khalid asked.Veronica went close to his car and leaned forward, "Good day sir." she greeted him.Mr Khalid tried his best not to look downwards at her open neck top that exposed a bit of her breasts."Not like this. I wouldn't want to stress you. Plus, I'm kind of in a hurry so... Can you come into my car?" Mr Khalid requested Veronica.Veronica was hesitant at first but she stood up straight, moved back, and allowed Mr Khalid to open the door for her from the inside.Veronica entered the car and sat right next to Mr Khalid who she wondered why he wouldn't give her much space.Veronica was uncomfortable with the sitting position but w
Khalid sat in his office with his mind wandering off beyond control. What was he thinking about? A nude view of Veronica, Vincent's mother.He had his head stuck in the clouds for so long and found himself digging deeper and deeper into the strength of his imagination.The door to Mr Khalid's office opened after three unanswered knocks and his new secretary came in.She locked the door with the key that was attached to it and proceeded to close the windows. She walked towards Mr Khalid. Mr Khalid didn't even notice when she came in and didn't hear the door lock. The secretary began to undress in his office. To her, his eyes were watching her body but in reality, that was not the case.The secretary sat in Mr Khalid's lap and that was when he was broken out of his thoughts."What is this nonsense?! Are you crazy?! Who permitted you to enter my office?!" Mr Khalid yelled at the woman.He was unable to make sense of anything in front of him. Usually, Mr Khalid would jump at such an oppo
The next morning,Veronica was washing the dishes in the kitchen and Vincent walked in while about to tell the chef what to prepare."Should I tell him what happened?" Veronica wondered."No. I shouldn't. What about what I saw yesterday? They're close. Won't the truth only hurt Vincent? I can't just tell him that with all the unfortunate things he has been experiencing." Veronica thought to herself.A tear ran down her cheek as she recalled her past life with her son. All the bullying, returning home with bruises on some days and not having anything to eat on other days. "Even after the wealth was added to our lives, bad things still happened. His father was arrested for drug trafficking. I wonder how hurt he felt being the one to report. And his girlfriend Tasha..."Veronica felt the ceramic plate she was holding slipped out of her fingers. She tried to catch it but it was too late and it smashed against the ground.The chef jumped back in shock after hearing the sound of a shatteri
"There's just one more thing," Vincent said."What is it?" Tashas asked, eagerly waiting for his response."During all this, we will have to stay away from each other. I told them we broke up so we have to act on it no matter how difficult." "I'll do exactly that," Tasha replied without questioning Vincent. Vincent kissed her one last time after her parents walked in right after they parted."Thank you for all your help so far. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't here to assist us." Tasha's father said to Vincent."Thank you so very much." Tasha's mother added."It's not something to thank me for. I see you both and Tasha as my family." Vincent replied."I have to go now," Vincent said, checking his wristwatch."Have a lovely day." Tasha's mom said to Vincent.Vincent left the hospital and went to his car which was parked outside by the driver waiting for him.Vincent's phone rang the moment he sat in his car. It was an unknown number calling and he braced himself fo
A man shivered as he felt his heart pounding uncontrollably against his chest. He had just dodged something that could have sent him to the hospital.The glass cup which was earlier aimed at him, missed him only by inches before shattering into pieces on the wall behind him."How dare you come to me with such nonsense excuse?!" Mr Khalid's voice echoed throughout his office and outside of it.He has been acting out to the slightest mistakes of his employees for the past two weeks and no one knew why. His employees tried very hard to avoid crossing paths with him and those who were given tasks by him made sure to go through those tasks five to ten times before submitting the results but somehow they keep finding themselves caught up with Khalid's anger."Is this what I employed you for?! This trash of a report?!" Mr Khalid roared out."I'm sorry sir. Please forgive me. I... I will do it again. I will do the task from the start. Please. Please sir." the man begged as if his life depend
"I came here to see you. I couldn't stop thinking of what it would be like to have you under me in bed. You have such a perfect body and I want to caress it so badly." Mr Khalid could only say those words in his head. How could he dare say such dirty things out loud about someone's mother while being married himself?"Can I come in?" Mr Khalid asked Veronica."I asked you a question. What are you doing here?" Veronica stood firm, trying not to show any form of weakness."I came here to see Vincent." Mr Khalid answered."Didn't the security guard tell him Vincent isn't home? Why allow this man to enter this place?" Veronica thought to herself."Vincent isn't home," she answered Khalid."I know. I was informed of his absence. I came in so I can wait for him. It is very urgent." Mr Khalid explained."If it's urgent then make a phone call to him and leave this place. It's not some sort of waiting room, especially not for someone like you." Veronica retorted.Veronica slammed the door but
The next morning, Mr Khalid woke up next to his wife in bed as usual but this time her hand was roaming about his body."What is it?" Mr Khalid asked, unfazed."Isn't it obvious what I want?" Alma questioned and started to kiss her husband.Mr Khalid gently pushed her away and turned to the other side of the bed where he couldn't see her face.Alma went closer again and licked Mr Khalid's ear. This time he pushed her away roughly and sat up in bed with his feet touching the ground."Khalid? What is wrong with you?! Haven't you been asking me for this for a long time? And now you are pushing me away when I have the time and energy for it?" Alma exclaimed, her face showing distraught."I'm just not in the mood right now," Khalid replied."Oh?! Just like you weren't in the mood last night or the night before that and the night before that huh?! I thought that maybe you wanted to do it in day time instead but it seems that I am wrong." Alma said to Khalid.Khalid placed his elbows on his
