Natalie laughed when she saw the look of humiliation on Stefanie's face. David was helpless, he didn't even know what to do." Yes! That's what you get when you can't leave other people's boyfriends alone!" Natalie shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.David's hands held Stefanie's own, she looked like she was about to cry." Y'all can look at me and call me crazy!" She pointed her fingers at all of the onlookers. " Yes, I will do anything to take my man back from stealing whores."" For heaven's sake, Natalie, what's wrong with you?!" David couldn't hold it anymore. " Why did you think you had to do this?! Why?!"" Oh, forgive me." She touched her chest. " For trying to secure what is mine."" I'm not yours!" He warned her. " You never wanted anything to do with me, you broke up with me!"" I was kidding!" She bawled louder. " I wanted to push you to get your shit together!"At this point, the other customers were looking around in confusion and cringe.The manager had to immed
David sat in his office, he didn't even have one last strength to handle what was going on in his head. His thoughts were having a war and it was trying to burst into a headache. Stefanie didn't speak to him anymore, she didn't say one word to him and it was breaking his heart. He tried, he did, but she was very adamant not to speak to him. He got her some snacks and placed them on the table before her. She only glanced at them and kept working. The last time he checked on her, they were the exact way he had left them. So that's why he was alone in his office, he couldn't even work because he was thinking about her. Suddenly the door opened and Rosie's secretary walked in. She was so disrespectful that she pushed the door open with her foot. " Ava, do you even know how to knock?" He frowned at her. " The boss wants to see you, immediately." She said in an icy voice. " Immediately." " I'm on my way," David told her. She didn't leave, she was staring at him, not even blinking
Rosie gave the road her full attention as she drove them to see her father. She handled the wheel with delicacy like she didn't want to get into any mishap that would delay her. David glanced at her from time to time and saw how worried she was about her father. "Shouldn't we get him something?" David broke the silence."I mean, I would like to stop by the store to get him anything he normally likes." "His health has never been at its peak." She said. "His doctors are very picky about what he eats.""Let's stop by and get some flowers then. I bet that would be what Tommy would get." He said. She only shrugged. When they got to the next flower shop, he got out and went to buy some. He settled for some dandelions. He paid and got back into the car. She resumed driving and they came to drive for another fifteen minutes. Finally, they pulled at the small gate of the "new hope" Retirement home. It was a small building that was surrounded by beautiful flowers and green grasses. She
Rosie pulled up in front of his apartment. It was a very eventful day for both of them, but they had come to the end of it. She stopped the car and wiped her palm down her face. "Rosie, can I say something?" He asked. "You won't be mad though?"" I can't promise you that, but it's not like I can do anything to you." She shrugged. " I know that my major was in robotic and mechanical engineering, but I will try my best if you need someone to talk to." He assured her. She rubbed her hands over the wheel and laughed. " Why do you think I need someone to talk to?" She turned to him. Trying to control his laughter. He was looking at her blankly like she was crazy for laughing. " Rosie, after everything you have gone through, I'm sure that you are not making a big deal out of it." " You don't know half of what I have been through." She told him. " You can't even relate to it." David looked down at his hands. " My mother–"" I don't care about what you and your mother went through,
It took Mister Dominic Ford and all his workers to finally get his hand on the real detail. David asked and he was told what happened. Although the domestic workers were not allowed to see him, one of them cunningly took a picture of him intending to use it to extract money. David ran his hand through his hair. " Then who is it?" He asked. "Your father wouldn't say," Gary told him. "But he is going to address this very soon."David looked at Gary, imagining the horror of what was going to happen. His father was going to make that person feel his wrath. "Is he going to kill the person?" David looked up. "You speak as if you don't know your father." Gary laughed. "He has killed people who have committed less crime." Gary stood up and walked to the door. "In two hours, he is going to call for a meeting," Gary said. "You are going to be present, so I suggest that you prepare.""Am I not the one who is supposed to be a secret?" David asked. "What good is it if I join the meeting?"
David shut his eyes as soon as he heard the gun go off, he really thought that he was going to die. But after the shit went off, he was still alive and breathing. He didn't feel any pain at all. He opened his eyes and saw that Rosie was still pointing the gun at him. When he turned around, there was a hole in the wall, where the bullet had gone through. He felt a wetness on his cheek. He touched it and saw blood, the bullet grazed his face. That was when it dawned on him that she didn't aim to kill him. If she had wanted him to die, she would have let a bullet in his head. Or rather, his father didn't want him to die or he would have killed him. David was terribly shaken by this near-death experience. "The next time you talk back at me, I won't hesitate to kill you." His father warned. "Do you understand that, David?""Yes." David shuttered. "Do you understand?""Yes, sir."The call ended immediately and Rosie dropped the gun and sighed in relief. Gary held his hand over his
She shook with sobs as she reached for him. David shut the door with his foot as he hugged his mother tightly. "Hey, ma." He whispered. "I've missed you so much." She sobbed. "I haven't seen my baby so much." "It's okay, ma, I'm here now." He rubbed her back. "I was supposed to come for your graduation, but one of my clients had a setback." She said, "I'm sorry, baby."He had his mother's face in his hands. He wiped her tears and smiled at her. She touched his face, just to make sure that it wasn't a dream and her son was really in front of her. "Look how big you've grown." She chuckled. "What kind of mother doesn't see her son for so long?""Mum, we've talked about this." He frowned. "We are not going to blame you for things that aren't yours to control." His mother was a private nurse, mostly for old people who didn't want to die alone in a nursing home. The pay was average, but she had to put in a lot of work and endurance. To balance everything, she still had to take multi
Stefanie wanted to stab herself to death, if that would make this coworker of hers go away. He has been babbling in her ears for long minutes now and wasn't stopping even though she wasn't giving him attention. She kept rolling her eyes repeatedly and sighing, but he was pretending not to see the signs. It was terrible because he wasn't the first one today and the day wasn't even over yet. "Your boyfriend isn't in town, I don't know what the problem is going to be." He shined his brightest teeth. "Lance, please."She held her head. "I've told you, many times, that David and I aren't dating." "Then why aren't you listening to me?" He asked. "Listen, my father has a wine company in Italy. My father is very rich and I can take care of all your needs."She turned and gave him an icy stare. "If you are so rich, why are you working in someone's company?" She laughed. "Because my mother thinks I need to work under someone to be able to manage my own company later." He answered. "That
