His Legacy One step closer
Steven cleaned the cabinets silently with his earpiece on. The compound ought to be silent that morning, if not for the gardener and his lawn mower. Mrs Jones' daughter will be around in four days. He smirked at her thought. “Hey!” Soft arms grabbed him. He would have knocked it off if he didn’t see Anita, frowning at him with her arm folded. The lady loved frowning for some reason. He didn’t hate it. It just doesn’t fit her. “What now?” Steven removed his ear piece. “Come with me!” She pulled him to the balcony. “If this is about that night…”“It’s not about that night!” She snapped at him, refrained from the pulling his arn and then continued. “Why are you always mad at me?” “Keep quiet!” She taunted. “Just shut the hell up. You annoy me.” They were on the balcony now, luckily not distracted by the lawn mower this time. “What is wrong?” He asked. “You are so sneaky! I can’t believe I trusted you, Steven. Damn, I wanted to give you my body. How disgusting!” Steven was surpr
His Legacy Lions Den
Despite Steven Gold’s promise to forget Anita after the first time, he couldn’t. Her thoughts came to his mind every day and her little features became more noticeable to him. This confused him. She had a nice smile. Her dressing sense was aesthetic. She drank a lot of water. She was nice to other servants. She was highly organized and kept to time. She was a peacemaker and people pleaser. Though she was strict with her job, she did all she could not to hurt people’s feelings. These were features he never noticed before. They grew closer unknowingly and he visited her room a couple of nights to talk and have hot sex. The bond he wanted to instill in her worked, but now he was caught in it. He couldn’t leave her. He couldn’t let her go for a day. It was as if they shared a thing he didn’t know. They weren’t in a relationship. They were in a situationship which could crumble at any minute. As for Anita’s boyfriend. She broke up with him. Steven couldn’t understand why she did that, bu
His Legacy Forbidden Feeling
Steven was scared. Very scared. Rica smirked and let him leave. She ran her hand down her hair and gave him a seductive look. Her gaze was piercing and she was definitely scary! So scary! Steven raced down the stairs. Faster than he has ever raced before. He hurried into the kitchen, shut the door and grabbed the jug of water. Anita walked in and was surprised at his state.“Are you fine?” She asked. He gazed at her as he drank a glass of water. He didn't know what to say. He didn’t know where to start. “I don't care anyway,” her mood changed and she dropped a basket she carried. Her anger had not subsided yet. “It’s nothing.” He tried distracting her from it. “Nothing?!” She wasn’t taking it. “The only thing you know how to do is use people. You do not tell me anything. You don’t share personal information with me. All you want is just sex.” “Anita, it is not like that.” “O! Keep quiet. I hate you.”“I will explain everything this evening. But I promise, no sex. We will just t
His Legacy Rights, no rights
“I heard you want to join the Mafia,” Mr Jones said when Steven walked into his office. What did Rica tell her father this time? Whatever convincing she did wasn’t working. “You are crazy to think I will let you work with me. A mere servant who cleans my damn car?! What’s this nonsense?! Grass to Grace?!”“Mr Jones, it is not like that.”“O! You keep your mouth shut you peasant! I picked you from nothing! What exactly can you do?”“Dad, cut it out.” A voice said from the door as it barged open. Rica came at the perfect timing. What a relief! Steven didn’t know what to say to her father anyway. The man was hard to please. “Steven wants to avenge his sister’s death. There is nothing wrong if he spills some people’s blood.”Okay! This lady was twisting his words. He didn’t say anything about killing people. He only said he wanted to ruin his father. “I didn’t say that, Rica,” he whispered to her, but it was his mistake! She wasn’t human. She sat before her father.“Shut up Steven. You w
His Legacy Lose interest in me
Steven trembled in his seat, wishing he stopped talking. “Who do you think you are to be this ruthless?!” Mr Jones asked. The gun was pointed to his nose. “I can eliminate you now, Steven! I can kill you right now and there is nothing you can do about it.”Steven nodded. He was damn scared. He was so scared that he almost shit in his pants. “We will both strike a deal here.” Mr Jones went back to sit. “You will marry my daughter and make her happy. And I will keep you safe. I will prevent you from having dangerous missions.”“I don't want any mission! I just want my father!”“Do you not hear me?!!!” The man raged again. He clocked his gun and fired it a few inches from Steven’s face. The guy’s heart stopped. “Are you not paying attention?!”“I…I…I…”Steven didn't know what to say. The man was so angry, he could shoot him anyway. No amount of I…I… could save his life. “You will do as I say here. I will make sure nothing happens to you.”Steven nodded. The man took his phone and made
His Legacy Yellow Sulphur of Hell
Later that night, they drove to the Yellow Sulphur company. Steven was tense, but he maintained his cool. The company didn’t produce Yellow Sulphur as it implied. They just had a perfume named that.“How creative.” He thought with sarcasm. Who would buy a perfume with that name? Everyone knew they didn’t open the company to sell it. They just wanted to cover up their crimes pretending to be a perfume company.The driver, who was one of the mafias, stopped them at the checkpoint and they were questioned. “What do you want?” One of the guards asked, waving his gun at them. “We are here to deliver Blue Pills.” Steven said. “What supplier?” Steven was silent. Rica didn’t tell him about any supplier. “Tell him Castlone.” He heard her faint voice through his ear pod. “Did you hear my question?” The guard asked in anger. “No,” Steven lied. “What did you ask again?”“I asked who your supplier is. If you have no response, step out of the car.”“Sorry, you didn’t speak loud.” he rolled h
His Legacy The beast within
“What’s wrong?” Rodriguez noticed Steven's traumatized look. He was back to the car shaking like he saw a ghost.“I…They….” Steven could not speak.“This is your first time. It is normal.” Rodriguez didn’t bother to hear the rest. “You will be a heartless Mafia Lord soon.” “I do not want that!” “You are involved with the Mafia Lord’s daughter. You have no other choice!” “Stop scaring him,” someone said from outside the car. They followed the sound of the voice and saw one of the mafias, throwing his weapon at the back seat. “Phineas, stay out of this.” Rodriguez’s voice sounded cold. They didn’t like each other. “Not every mafia has to end up cruel.” Phineas maintained his point. “Like you are not cruel?”“I have my limits.”Rodriguez huffed. “Do not listen to him. He is worse than we are.” Phineas approached Steven and gave him a tap. “If I were you, I will listen to me. Do what makes you feel the most confident. You do not have to kill innocent people.” “Steven, you are ma
His Legacy Now the main beast
Steven wasn’t able to get over Anita easily. She left for her own good. Her safety mattered more to him than his freaking feelings. Well! That was it then. He would never see her again. Rica was his right hand now. And he had no other choice but to be stuck with her.“How are you feeling?” Her father asked two days later. Mr Jonez invited him for a coffee. “Worse than ever.” Steven was blunt.“I understand,” the old man nodded. “Forgive me for not cautioning my daughter. I didn’t know she would betray you like that.”“You didn’t know?” Steven was disappointed. “She is your freaking daughter. You should know how she thinks!”“Steven, it won’t happen again. I promise.”“I cannot bear her.”Mr Jones looked indifferent.“Make her happy, and I will protect you. A deal is a deal.”“That’s what I am trying to do here. She makes it difficult for me.”“I doubt,” Mr Jones opened his drawer. “She called me last night, nagging you cannot handle a gun. She won’t always be there to protect you, St

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

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
