His Legacy Familiar Faces
Vicky didn’t hang up her call with Maria. She left it active, hoping to feel Maria’s presence with her as she receives his diagnosis.“Girl, relax okay?” She heard Maria say over the phone. Vicky took a deep breath, trying to be calm.“What is it doctor?” She eventually asked. “He is stable now,” Vicky heaved a sigh of relief with her hand to her chest. She sat back on the chair, thanking God for saving his life. “We were able to flush the pill out of his system. There is an issue though…,” the doctor said. She stopped rejoicing and turned swiftly to him. “He may be unconscious for a couple of hours. The pill really messed with his brain, so it will take a while for his body to get back to normal.”“At least he is fine, that’s all that matters to me.” She said, ignoring the rest of the doctor’s facts. “If I may ask, are you his wife? We need a family member to sign some documents later,” he asked. She felt off by the question. Maria cleared her throat, causing her to feel a bit pi
His Legacy The promise
A smile broke on Steven Gold’s lips when he was released for the day. He walked out of his workplace where he carried heavy boxes and called his elder sister. ”Hello, hard worker!” Her weak voice said at the other end. Steven smiled. “It is nice to…,” He bumped into a lady. “Sorry,” he apologized, but she rudely ignored him. He brushed it off and entered the bus. “Sorry for the interruption,” he said to his sister. “How do you feel now? Your stomach wasn’t great in the morning.” “I threw up twice. That's a new record. Yay!”His sister joked. Steven couldn’t believe she found her stomach pain funny. “It's not funny, Mary.”“I ate lots of chocolates. I blame myself for this.”“I thought you wouldn’t. You always look for someone to blame for your situation, you know.““Where are you? Be quick and come. I am waiting.” She grumbled bored. “Fine, fine. Few more minutes.” Steven gave his word and hung up. His focus went back to the window, watching the trees speed past. When he arri
His Legacy Double Trouble
The Academy of Sciences was the last place Steven Gold wanted to find himself at. But here he was, explaining to his lecturers why he skipped school for a month. They understood his sister's situation and allowed him off the hook.“Hey!” his close friend Jeremy greeted, sitting beside him. “How are you?” Steven asked. “I am getting myself back together. He was buried last week.”Steven’s heart sank. “Your father was a good man.”“Yeah, he was. I wish I know who killed him.”Steven felt like a monster. He couldn't tell him his mafia father killed him. The Black Draculas killed him! The poor boy didn’t know how vulnerable his father was. Who owes the Mafia millions?“Since your father is a Mafia, could you help me find the killers?” Jeremy trusted him that much. “I do not get involved in my dad’s business.”“Come on! It is just the connection I need.”“I promise you do not want to get involved.”The door opened and a beautiful lady walked in swaying her hips. She blew a kiss at Ste
His Legacy Inner Demon
“Hey!” Steven tried fighting it off. Sharon pinned him down. She was in her lingerie, gracing his vision with her boobs. “Come on, just ones.” she pleaded.“Are you crazy?”“Yes, Steven! I am crazy for you.”“Sharon, get off me!” Steven pushed her.“I was right! You are a weakling! You are a fucking impotent!” “I am not an impotent!”Steven defended. “Then what’s wrong?” she glared confidently. “Am I not hot enough?!”Steven couldn't take it. He grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall.“It is not about looks! I don't fall for looks!”She laughed evilly.“You are not like your parents. You are so weak. While your dad gets every girl he wants with the snap of a finger, and your mum sleeps with men for better offers, you are here wasting your looks. Your father would have done a better job. He would have looked me in the eyes and devoured me with his charms. He would have….”“Enough!” Steven covered her lips. She smirked and drew him closer. “I can do better than my father. I am bet
His Legacy When it all crashed
“Steve, I need your help!” Sharon pleaded as he walked into the school stadium. “You want to seduce me again and send a clip to my father?”The statement grossed her.“Stop! Don’t put it that way.”“I cannot believe you are such a slut. I trusted you.”Sharon held back her tears. “I am not a slut. Your father contacted me through my father. I had to help because your father insisted.”“How much did he pay you?” “Steven, I do not like this….”“How much did he pay you?” Sharon sighed. “Half a million.”“Wow!”“But, I promise you I didn’t send the video to anyone else. It was just your father.”“Are you even listening to yourself?”“Come on, Steven, my father is in trouble. You are the only one who can help us.”“Back off!” Steven threatened, pointing a finger at her. “Do not come closer!” “Steven, please!” Steven ignored her and was approached by Jeremy. Jeremy was surprised at his coldness. “What was that about?” He asked. “Ignore it.”Later that night, Steven heard his gate f
His Legacy Change of fate
Steven Gold walked out of prison with nothing but his wallet. The jailer thought it was odd for him to leave with nothing. Even his outfit had to be borrowed.“Have anywhere to stay?” The jailor asked.“I will find my way,”“You were arrested at 17 years old. The world has not been the same since then, sir.”“As I said before, I will find my way.”It's been 10 years since he was imprisoned. The jailor wasn’t wrong. The world changed a lot. Everyone depended on the internet now.He could barely recognize the alleys. The roads were bigger, there were more shops and the fashion was different. There was so much to explore. The poor guy didn’t know where to start. He didn’t know where to go.“Hi,” he entered a grocery store. The owner was an elderly woman who judged him instantly. “Are you here to steal?”That was a dumb question.“I am looking for a job,” he said anyway.She was irked.“We are not hiring.”“Please….”“Do I look like a charity?! Leave or I will call the police.”“Do you k
His Legacy Schemes
“Help me with the car, Steve!” Mr Jones ordered as he adjusted his glasses. “I cannot drive,” Steven confessed. He wished he could. “O! Not drive, Steve. Wash my car for me. I am in a hurry.”Steve agreed quickly and got a bucket. He scrubbed the car until it sparkled. There was no single blemish on it. Will that convince Mr. Jones trust to him? “Wow, you did well.” Mr Jones was sure impressed. Steven smiled and held the bucket firmly. Mr Jones didn’t look at him twice. He opened his car, got in, and prompted the driver to leave. “Didn’t he wash it well?” He thought. What could be done to earn the man’s trust? He freaking saved his life. “Clean the balcony upstairs!” His boss scolded, as the gate closed. Steven nodded at first. He remembered his plan to get information from her and turned back. Mr Jones lived alone with his guards. There was no single family member of his around. Maybe he had none? He might be a loner. “What?” His boss asked due to her piercing stare. Her nam
His Legacy More Problems
Mr Jones didn’t arrive back that day. Or the day after. This made him mad. He did all that washing for nothing?!His next target was Caro. Caro spent her time shopping and cleaning the figurines on all the floors. It was rare to find her. Steven tried to get access to her, but it was close to impossible. They’ve barely seen each other twice. “Could you link me with Caro?” He asked Anita. Anita was surprised. “Excuse me?” “I think I misplaced a figurine on the first floor. I need your help.”Anita couldn’t believe it. “How could you? Mr Jones will kill you.”“That’s why I need your help.” “Tell me what figurine, and I will figure it out for you.” Anita was being nice. “I will prefer Caro to help me instead.”Her smile disappeared. She was deeply hurt as if he said something bad. She nodded and opened her phone book. She shut her eyes and finally spoke up. “Did I do anything wrong?” “What do you mean?” “Since that day, you have been avoiding me….” She was close to tears. “Wha

Deeper than you think
Vicky laid on her back that night, staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t stop thinking about Steven’s indifference towards her rants that evening. He seemed chill, happier and friendlier than she ever knew him. She turned to her side and gazed at a beautiful painting of an enormous garden. A painting she barely notices since she’s been so busy with Bonnie. Perhaps all Steven needed was a friend and someone to speak to, she thought. He might be lonely and in need of some to converse with. But his freaking ego would not let him admit him. Well, it wasn’t her own headache. She came for Bonnie and that was it. The next day, she made herself a cup of green tea in the kitchen, before stepping outside admiring the greenery. The emergency lock down was over. Good thing she could visit Maria and forget these depressing lives for a while. Her thought went to her husband as she stepped back into the house to get her bag. She hadn’t heard from him since their last argument. Well, she hoped he wa

His Loneliness
Vicky nodded and began. “She was helpless when I first saw her,” Vicky said with an emotional tone. “I remember when Mr Chang brought her for the first time. She was scared, vulnerable and felt sick. We all thought she was going to die. It turned out she had been roaming the streets for hours and had nowhere to go. She was three months pregnant at that time. The landlord promised to give her a free apartment for a while, and made her vow to start paying once she gets a job. Anita made that promise. She was very beautiful, Steven. Not only was she beautiful, she was the most hardworking lady I have ever seen too. She was so fond of her daughter and I remember her smiles anytime Bonnie kicked in her stomach. She became my best friend the first time I saw her.” Steven felt deeply hurt by Vicky’s words. He wasn’t there for Bonnie when she needed him the most. He couldn’t believe she suffered so much like that. “She is an amazing lady. You fell in love with your match, Steven,” Vicky co

Anita
Anita walked down the empty road, nervous and scared. She had nowhere else to go and she’d considered her employment at Mr Jones house lucky. How wrong she was! If only she hadn’t placed all her eggs in one basket. Perhaps, she would have found an alternative place to lay for the night. Her arm was wrapped around her. She trembled with fear and she could barely walk any further. Luckily for her, a car pulled over beside her and her guardian came to her rescue. It was Mr Chang. An old man she helped a few weeks ago while he was stranded under the rain. “What are you doing here all alone?” He asked with concern. She had tears rolling down her cheeks. He opened his car for her to get in and she hesitated at first. “Trust me,” he smiled.Since there was no other choice, she got in and cleared the tears on her cheek. “Thank you,” she appreciated. “What are you doing stranded her?” He asked “My boss' daughter wants to kill me,” she confessed. “I have nowhere to go.” Mr Chang didn’t

The Lockdown
Bonnie wasn’t confident about going with Mrs Gold. As Vicky packed her necessities into her baby bag, the child gazed at her with nervous anticipation. “O! Bonnie! It is just for a few days,” Vicky shut the bag, brushing away her analysis. Bonnie was just a year and half old. The child was too young to know what was right and wrong. Vicky hung the bag on her shoulder and carried Bonnie in her arm. “Come on, my princess! You will be back before you know it.”She gave Bonnie to Mrs Gold and handed her the bag. “All her items are in there. She loves to have her milk oat and she takes her baby food at 8pm every night. She doesn’t like cold showers and she enjoys a solemn lullaby before sleep. She hates the air conditioner and does enjoy loud noises. She loves to move around in Walker when she is awake and…,” “It’s fine, Vicky,” Mrs Gold interrupted her with a short laugh. “I have taken care of her a couple of times, so I know all this. There is no need to teach me how to take care of my

The Proposal
Vicky watched the girls enter the police van as they were taken for interrogation. She smiled with pride as she reminisced about what she had done. She got Tory to speak! O! Goodness! Who would have thought.“You did good,” Steven said as he joined her where she stood. She smiled with a relieved look. “I have never done this before,” she confessed, folding her arms. “I was really nervous. I thought I was going to upset them.”“Luckily you did not,” he said with his eyes focused on the van. “If you had, you would have faced me. You know how that ends, don’t you?”He was such a mood killer. Was that a nice time to threaten her? Vicky rolled her eyes, ignoring what he said. He didn’t want her response anyway. “You should have more faith in yourself, Vicky,” he continued. “If you do, you can go really far.”“I have faith in myself. You needn’t teach me that. It is just difficult to deal with a man like you. I cannot satisfy you no matter what I do. You scare me most of the time,” Vicky

Tory
Vicky felt his touch send an electric shock through her. She hid her blush and took her hands sharply from his grip. “It’s fine,” she said, placing it in her pocket. He sat at the corner of the room, opening a bottle of water and she approached the girls. “Hey,” she drew a stool closer and sat before them. “How are you all coping?”“My name is Maria,” the mother figure among them said, drawing closer to Vicky. “I heard all that happened, Maria. It is fine, you can tell me anything. My name is Vicky. I work with Steven,” Vicky pointed at Steven, who gave them a wave. “He is a very good guy,” Maria smiled and the others agreed. “He wanted to risk his life for us. I have never seen anyone who would do that. It is very rare to find, I swear. All I find is a bunch of selfish humans. He ignored the whole inconvenience and fought hard for us.” Vicky wasn’t surprised. “Even though he doesn’t admit it, I know he is good inside,” she said.“Villains have their good moments,” Steven's voic

The task
Vicky heard Steven race down the stairs as she closed the kitchen cabinets and refilled the salt shaker. She promptly peaked from the side of the door to see what was happening. To her shock, there was nothing much. It was just Steven saying something to himself and grabbing his coat. The temperature already dropped that morning. It was most likely freezing cold by then . Thank God for the house heater which saved them lots of trouble. She could tell he was still his pain as he limped to the door with his phone pressed to his ears. She leaned against the door with her hands to her chest. The previous night slid into her mind sharply. He was hurt. What makes him think it was smart to drive in that condition? She couldn’t let him go like that. At least for Bonnie's sake. She came out of her hiding area and cleared her throat, pretending to wipe her hand with her handkerchief.“What?” He asked, turning back to her. She stroked her arm softly. Their experience the previous night made h

Next Steps
Vicky hummed a song as she prepared Bonnie’s meal. She used the song to distract herself from Steven’s thoughts. But with time, she stopped singing and groaned. It was freaking 10pm in the evening. Why wasn’t he there yet? If it was her who came that late, he would have scolded her. She took the baby food she prepared for Bonnie and went to the sitting room where Bonnie played with her stroller toys. “Alright, my darling,” Vicky smiled, pecking her on the cheeks. “Time for your dinner.”Bonnie’s eyes stared at the plate and her tongue stuck out as she danced happily. Vicky laughed. “You and food, huh? Inseparable,” Vicky pulled her cheeks softly. “I love you, my baby girl.”She carefully gave her a spoon of baby food and offered her another. Vicky's eyes went to the door as her heart raced against her chest. She was tense and she could not tell why. She had a very bad feeling about something. An unexplainable strong gut feeling. But as usual, feelings like that were irrational. She
