"Jake!, where are you? You'll make us late! " his wife yelled at him through the phone. "I'm on my way, Dorin. The traffic is quite tight here" he tried to explain to her as he glanced at all the bags and boxes delivery he had to receive which contained his wife and mother-in-law's jewelry as well as shoes for the wedding they were attending."Useless man, I told you Dorin, marry someone that has common sense and pride yet you went for a mannerless human being" he heard his mother-in-law rant some distance away from the phone."If you make us late, Jake!, I promise you won't have a meal in this house for the next week. I told you to go get that jewelry yesterday and yet you opted to go for that useless job of yours that can't even feed my daughter to talk more of my granddaughters" She had gotten the phone and was now screaming into it. "Mummy… " he heard his wife try to defend him a bit. Something she rarely did."My friend shut up! If I had married a man as useless as your husband

"Dorin!!! " Jake exclaimed in shock and saw her jump out of the bed to gather her clothes while the man was hurrying too, looking for clothing to cover his nakedness."Dorin, what's this? Has it gotten to cheating on me? " He was astonished, betrayed, and pained at the same time."Oh, you are back. When did you come back from the hospital? Why didn't anyone tell me you were back?" she looked destabilized. Her eyes could not meet his: they were just hovering around the room. "Dorin! How could you? Don't talk about my being in the hospital like you care, did you visit me once? Oh, this is what you were doing while I was away right? Sleeping around? Really? ""It's not what you think. I was really busy and couldn't make it to the hospital… ""Busy fucking some random guy? ""I am no random guy Mr whatever you call yourself. Of what use are you in this house if you cannot satisfy your wife? ". The man she was with responded from behind her. He was fully dressed now and Jake could see fro

Jake sat on the floor perplexed like he was in a trance. He could feel pains shooting into every fiber of his body from his legs. He still couldn't believe that his mother-in-law had commanded her boys to lift him from his wheelchair and leave him midair to drop on the floor like a piece of rag, just to confirm her daughter's accusations. The scene replayed over and over again in his memory how the two men walked up to him, each person holding his arms and lifting him from his wheelchair."Make him stand and leave him to walk" she had ordered and they did just that. The issue was that instead of his legs standing or walking they gave way and he had landed in a heap of helplessness on his already broken legs. Tears threatened their downpour as his face went down in shame and red with embarrassment. He had never been so humiliated in his entire life, not even when his debtors had to chase him on the road one time."Oh, he's crippled" Dorin exclaimed in mockery and Jake felt a slight

"It's me, don't make me get scared as well," a feminine voice said amidst the darkness when she realized Jake had jerked because she tapped him. It was Samara. As his eyes got used to the darkness he could make out her figure. She was wearing a simple brown silk gown and her brown hair was let loose to lie all over her shoulders. But Why did she look different? Is it because he was used to seeing her in household attire with her hair tightly packed in a bun?"What are you doing here? " he asked her, shocked she was outside too. "Hello, I just got sacked and I'm on my way home. Is there another explanation for being outside Randall's mansion this beautiful evening? "Jake could hear the sadness in her voice and it hurt him so much but he tried to conceal it."I'm sorry Samara. Maybe you shouldn't have been good to me, then you would not be accused of what you are innocent of". His head was down as he apologized. "If that's a thank you, then you are welcome but now is not a time to w

"How would you like to meet up over coffee tomorrow morning and sign the contract by 8 a.m. so we could start work in earnest? I'll come to see the shop immediately after the contract has been signed." Jake spoke into the phone a few weeks later."Sure sir, I'll be there. I have 20 ships in total and they are in good condition. I'll see you tomorrow sir as we are ready for you" the voice at the other end said."Tomorrow it is then" Jake concluded and hung up as he fell back into his chair and spun around in the small office he had set up for himself in his new apartment as he sighed the past week's activities. He had been calling lots of ship owners to ship in his new client's products and he had lots of contracts to sign come tomorrow and the next.He smiled and was most grateful to the man God had used to get him this far. Seff! He should visit him and could even make him his client after all Seff was the richest in the business industry as a whole.Jake reached for the card he was

"What do you intend to start up?" Seff asked Jake when he was back."I'd love to go into the shipping of goods" Jake replied smiling."I think that's a good idea. There's a lot of money there. You are a smart one. I knew that from day one" Seff was smiling."I'm glad you think I made a good choice, Mr. Newtons". Seff was laughing now."We could be business partners. What do you think about shipping my company's gold and diamonds?" He offered."I'd love that. Imagine working with the richest man in Los Angeles" Jake was overjoyed and Seff smiled."On one condition, Mr Martins. You'd have your ships for the shipping, I don't want you renting other people's ships as they are not to be trusted. I want you to buy yours and not worry about it as I'll refer lots of the other companies I am collaborating with to you" Seff offered once again."I am very grateful Seff" Jake was on his feet now thanking and almost prostrating on the floor out of happiness."You are welcome, Jake.

Samara's heart skipped a beat as she watched her phone tumble off the table and onto the floor. She groaned in frustration, knowing that she had been glued to her screen for far too long today. Her best friend, Seff, noticed her frown from across the room and chuckled. "Looks like you're finally taking a break from your virtual world, huh?" he teased as he launched himself at her with a pillow.Samara laughed and dodged his attack, playfully swatting him back with another pillow. They had been best friends since childhood, and their playful banter had only grown more lighthearted and flirtatious as they grew older together. But Samara had always seen Seff as just a friend, and she was content to keep it that way.Or so she thought.As they continued to playfully spar, Samara found herself getting lost in Seff's eyes. They were a deep, warm brown, framed by thick lashes she had always envied. She felt a flutter in her chest, and she quickly looked away, feeling self-conscious.Seff see

It had been a few weeks since they first met, and Jake couldn't imagine his life without her. He got out of bed, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation that he hadn't felt in a long time.Jake headed to the bathroom, where he splashed some water on his face to wake himself up fully before stepping into the shower for a refreshing bath that left him feeling invigorated from head to toe as he reached for a towel to dry himself off before heading back to the bedroom to get dressed.As he walked into the kitchen, Jake couldn't help but smile at the sight of Sanaya's toothbrush still in the holder.

She had never felt this way about anyone before, and she wasn't sure how to proceed.Seff seemed to sense her uncertainty as he took her hand in his and said, "Samara, I care about you deeply, and I want you to know that I'm willing to explore this further if you are."Samara nodded eagerly as she felt a sense of relief wash over her - she had been afraid to voice her feelings, but now she knew she wasn't alone in them anymore - Seff felt them too!They spent hours talking about what this meant for them -

Oh my god, it's so good to see you!" exclaimed her friend, Rachel.Sanaya returned the embrace warmly before pulling back slightly to take in her friend's appearance - Rachel looked just as she remembered her from college; her curly brown hair framing her face perfectly as she wore a bright red dress that hugged her curves in all the right places - but there was something different about her too; something Sanaya couldn't quite put her finger on at first."What's going on, guys? Why are you all dressed up like this?" Sanaya asked, looking around at the other women in the group.They all smiled at her, their eyes shining with excitement as they pulled out their phones one by one - Sanaya's heart sank as she realized what
