Clara anxiously looked at the door. she was supposed to have dinner with her mother and brother but none of them had come. The dinner was supposed to have stared one hour ago. Had something happened to her mother and brother? Have they been into an altercation with any police officer? Clara stood up from her chair and walked the full length of her long dining room, slapping her hands on each other as she went. She looked at the time once again and just then, she heard a commotion at the door. it was her mother.Her mother came in a rage. She was speaking angrily to someone on the phone. ‘Mom what is wrong?’ her mother settled her bag on the table in the sitting room and walked to the water dispensing unit to get a drink of water. ‘It is your brother. He will never stop going to that hotel. You remember that the last time, he had an altercation with one of the top executives after he made a pass at his girlfriend. Please speak to your brother.’ Diana said her anger raging over.‘Mom y
Diana was sitting in her chair besides Clara’s bed wondering why this kind of thing had fallen on them. Why would Clara have this kind of accident now that they wanted a prestigious contract with one of the richest families in the city? Who would lead this bidding proposal? Now they want to cut off Clara’s leg, her beloved Clara will have one leg. Diana shook her head. This must be the work of some evil people in her life, she thought. A nurse came in to look at the monitor to see if it was working fine and how what the figures were on the screen. ‘Excuse me ma’am. The doctor asked me to remind you that the window for amputating your daughter’s leg is closing. Soon, it will too late. He is asking me to tell you to decide fast.’Diana only nodded. She was too sad to respond. She hadn’t thought about that part. She didn’t want to because how can her beautiful Clara lose one leg to an ugly mistake. The nurse felt pity for her. It is painful to watch a mother looking at her daughter on a
Diana waited for the nurse who had promised to get the healer for her daughter. She hadn’t heard from her after a week. Her daughter hadn’t improved and the doctor was putting pressure on her to make a decision.‘Madam, if you don’t make a decision about the amputation, I will have to ask you and your daughter to leave our facility.’‘I have told you doctor to give me some more time to consider this. Moreover, don’t you think it is my daughter who is to make this decision? ‘It is because of the condition of your daughter, you have no choice than to make it on her behalf. She is in no state to make a decision now. You know this.’‘I understand what you are saying but understand me. Imagine that she wakes up, realises that her leg has been cut off, and then she hates herself for it. How do you think it would play out? She would hate me and blame me for not thinking about her.’‘Madam, this is no excuse. If you don’t make a decision, I am sorry I would have to ask the nurses to discharg
Diana returned to the hospital downcast. She had been rejected at the king’s donaldation for turning up to submit the proposal. What she done? Why does she have to suffer this kind of humiliation at the hands of the new director of the park’s project? She walks into Clara’s ward thinking about this but as she saw her daughter laughing and gisting with her brother, she decided to keep it to herself. She would not want to spoil their mood.‘Welcome mama. How did it go?’ Clara asked.‘It went well. I will give details later. Has Liam come here yet?’It was Steven who responded. ‘The man has not come here. What’s up?’ he noticed that his mother was distressed. She scratched her forehead and looked around with her hands akimbo.‘Let me call him.’ Diana said. She picked up her phone from her pocket and dialed Liam’s number. Liam entered the room almost immediately.‘Oh I was just calling you.’‘You were? I was wandering where you had been all morning?’They stepped away from the room into t
It has been five days now and the pictures are still circulating. The whole of Beaumont is talking about it, but Michael doesn’t care. He believes it will blow over and no one will talk about once a news gossip comes to town. All he is worried about is his position at the company and Isabella. Michael has been trying to talk to Isabella but she was not talking to him or picking his call. Whenever he goes to her office to talk to her, she says she is busy and walks out on him or ignores him. She calls at her house and she would not see him. He gets upset. His mind is not at rest as he tries to find a way to get her to talk to him. Even if she wants to quarrel with him, it was better than giving him the silent treatment. There was a management meeting that was called. Cynthia had come to terms with the bad pictures of her boss, and Michael loved that about him. She stepped into the office and presented him with the agenda for the meeting together with the necessary report. ‘I have dr
Liam was in a joyful mood when he heard the knock on the door. The music he was playing was not loud but lost in the music. He didn’t go to open it at first, thinking it was someone in the neighbourhood doing some carpentry work. Then the knock came again. Lowering the volume of the music, he went to the door and opened it.‘Ah Diana, welcome. You came at the right time.’Diana came into the room, surprised by the music and the mood of the place.‘What is going on.’ She asked.Liam closed the door and came to where she stood and moved his waist in front of her. She laughed and covered her face with her hands. ‘Join me in dancing on the victory we have won today.’‘And what is that?’‘The park project has been stopped by order of the court.’‘Oh really.’‘Yes. Judge Turner approved the halting of the project till further notice. Since we didn’t get the project, any other person who wants to have it will not enjoy the peace of it. We will make sure to frustrate the plan.’‘So no work i
It was Liam who saw her first. There was shock on his face. He pushed Diana aside and ran to Clara.‘It is not what you think.’ He begged. Clara looked him up and down, his zipper was still losing and his junior, which was now hanging low, was still visible. Diana saw Clara and sat on the bed. She didn’t say anything. Clara looked at them both and walked out of the apartment. Diana tried to pull Liam to myself for the bed to continue what they were doing before Clara came in, but he refused to join in. He just stayed silent, as he wore his clothes and dressed up. ‘Do n't allow that girl to spoil the fun?’ I said, trying desperately to diffuse the guilt he was feeling.Liam stopped what he was doing, looked at me as if I was mad and continued what he was doing.Diana got so irritated by his attitude, that she sat up and kneeling on the bed and barked at him. ‘I mean, why do you keep going back to her? Does she satisfy you the way I do? Does she make you feel good, feel like a man? S
The following evening, Clara stood before the assessing wrought- iron gates of the Donald estate, steeling herself for the battle ahead.She cut an intimidating figure in her satiny burgundy dress and towering stilettos, every inch the power player ready to claim her due place among Beaumont's nobility.Liam cast her a reassuring regard as the gates swung open, granting them entry to the strictly manicured grounds." Just flash back what we bandied. Stay confident, do not let Donald rattle you." Clara gave a curt nod. She did not need his advice- she had been preparing for this moment her entire life. The woman of a fat businessman, prepped from birth to navigate Beaumont's savage social waters with cunning and grace. They were steered into a cavernous study, the walls lined with bottom- to- ceiling bookshelves and priceless vestiges. Behind an assessing mahogany office sat a tableware- haired man with cold, setting eyes. Jonathan Donald in the meat. "Ms.Robert," he said by way of g
